How to rally the Savage Giant

The Savage Giant in Rise of Empires is a boss type enemy that appears in random locations around the world map. But he does appear multiple times and there will almost always be one not far from you. There are good rewards for killing him but you are only able to make one kill a day.

The Savage Giant was originally called the Undead Giant.

Levels

He will appear at various levels of difficulty, with better rewards for the higher levels, similar to the other AI enemies. However only at levels 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25. You can attack any level of Savage Giant but you only get the rewards if your rally makes the final killing blow against him and tackling the Giant above level 1 will take well equipped formations. So you must consider your level when choosing a target. You can run multiple rallies one after the other to damage the target though if needed.

Requirements to Rally

If you want to have a successful rally you need to make sure that the following apply:

- You need to be in an alliance so that you can get other members to join your rally against the giant.

- The rally must contain at least 2 formations. This means that whoever starts the rally must have a War Academy building to unlock the second rally slot. If you don't have this the rally will simply fail each time.

- 1 other alliance member must join the rally AND their troops must be able to reach you before the rally timer runs out. When you start the rally you must pick a ready time to give your friends time to join. It must be long enough for them to join up and include the time it takes for their troops to march from their base to yours.If the time runs out before they reach you, the rally will be cancelled.

- Finally the Giant that you are attacking must still be there when the rally starts. The enemy detail screen will give the refresh time which is the amount of time left before it will disappear. You need to set a rally ready time shorter than this.
