A Hill Giant is a type of giant found in several locations around RuneScape. For free-to-play, the Edgeville Dungeon offers the most spawns, while for members, the Shayzien Giant Pit also has numerous spawns. The Edgeville dungeon may be accessed through the entrance located in the house north-east of Barbarian Village and west of the Cooks' Guild if the player has a Brass key. The Edgeville Dungeon area is usually very crowded in free-to-play worlds, as players like to gather Big bones to bury them for Prayer experience. Another free-to-play hill giants area was added at the Giants' Plateau, near Al Kharid (located east of the Al Kharid General Store and Louie's Armoured Legs Bazaar., east past the gap in the gate).

There will be fewer players fighting Hill Giants in Members worlds due to the better money making options for members, resulting in less crowds. There are two Hill Giants present in level 17-18 Wilderness; however, very few people go there because of the dangerous player killers in the area and its far distance from any bank. The closest bank for most Hill Giants in the Wilderness is in Edgeville. They are aggressive to players below combat level 57.

Hill giants have relatively low Defence for their level, which makes them quite good for experience from level 30 to level 50.

The Hill Giant is one of the creatures that could potentially drop a Champion's scroll, making it a desirable monster both to train on for experience, due to its relatively high Hitpoints but low Defence, and a chance at its rare scroll drop.

Killing the Hill Giants found within the Catacombs of Kourend is one of the fastest ways to farm for Ancient shards and Dark totem pieces because of their low Hitpoints, allowing high level players to kill upwards of a couple hundred an hour.

It can drop the giant key, which is required to fight the hill giant boss Obor.

Money making

Lua error in Module:Mmgsection at line 44: attempt to index local 'smwData' (a nil value).

For low-level players, Hill Giants can be a great way to make money as they always drop big bones, which are 336 coins each. The major and most noticeable drawback for free-to-play players is that the Edgeville Dungeon is often crowded.

For free-to-play players with a high Defence (~65+), a good way to save run energy while killing Hill Giants is to only equip dragonhide armour. The relatively lower weight will allow the player to run further without exhausting your energy, and the player's Defence will be high enough to negate a large amount of potential damage.

(update)

A small tribe of hill giants have moved into their new home on the Giants' Plateau where Clan Wars once stood. They've really acclimatised to the local culture, too, and will drop steel scimitars and iron med helms instead of steel longswords and iron full helms. Be sure to give them a warm welcome!

Trivia

  • They were once just called 'Giants', but this was later changed by Jagex to avoid confusion between other giants.
  • They are one of three kinds of giants available in free-to-play worlds, the other two being Moss giants and Ice giants.
  • Some Hill Giants appear to be wielding cleavers, weapons from the Recipe for Disaster quest.
  • Despite being called "Hill Giants", the majority of the giants are found in dungeons. The reason for the naming was revealed in a Postbag from the Hedge; they are called Hill Giants because the muscles on their arms resemble hills.[1]
