10 Cheapest One-Hit Kill Enemies In Gaming History

9. Giants - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Bethesda

Somewhat of a meme at this point, being no more than an inconvenience for two reasons. Firstly, they seem to be the enemy that Bethesda did not want to deal with; weird hit-boxes, a long reach and a whack that will launch you 100 feet into the sky. What makes us say Bethesda didn’t want to deal with them? It’s a video game legend that Bethesda knew about the giant’s attack having sky-launching potential and simply found it funny. These lanky lads offer you almost nothing in return and honestly, should be left alone to farm alongside their mammoths.

The second reasons why they’re so annoying is because they’re found outside, often very far away from civilisation, minding their own business until some Dragonborn comes and stomps over their crops. This doesn’t seem important until, when 100 feet in the sky, you realise your last save was ten minutes back as you left the city gates. Now you can trek that journey all over again but this time, maybe leave the giant alone.
