A '''hill giant''' is a type of [[giant]] found in several locations around [[RuneScape]], most highly concentrated in the far southern end of the [[Edgeville Dungeon]] and in the resource dungeon therein. These dungeons may be accessed through the entrance located in the house north-east of [[Gunnarsgrunn]] and west of the [[Cooking 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]] and either bury them for [[Prayer]] [[experience]] or sell them at the [[Grand Exchange]] or to other players. [[Members]] worlds usually are much less crowded due to the better money making options for members. There are two hill giants present in level 17-18 [[Wilderness]]; however, very few people go there because of the dangerous [[player killing|player killers]] in the area and its far distance from any bank. (The closest bank for most hill giants in the Wilderness is at [[Daemonheim]].) They are [[aggressiveness|aggressive]] to players below combat lvl 57.

If [[Cyclops|Cyclopes]] are given as a [[Slayer]] assignment, players may NOT kill Hill Giants for the task. The reverse isn't possible either.

Hill giants can hit up to 43 damage, and they only attack with [[Melee]]. They have very low [[Defence]] which makes them great for experience from level 30 to level 50.

Another tip is that you can't let their weapons and their height imtimidate you. Every weapon they have will hit the same. (Example: Hammer, Cleaver, Club are the same.)

==Champions' Challenge==
Hill giants are one of the 'races' who have a lesser champion in the [[Champions' Challenge]] Distraction & Diversion. To fight the [[Giant Champion]], the player must kill hill giants until one drops a [[Champion's scroll (giant)|Champion's scroll]], a very rare drop. The Distraction & Diversion just uses the term 'giant', but the only type of giant that drops the scroll is the hill giant. This is only for members.

==Money Making==
For F2P players, hill giants can be a great way to make money, as they always drop [[Big bones]], which bring in {{GEPrice|Big bones}} coins each at the GE. They also frequently drop [[Limpwurt root]]s. The close proximity to the Grand Exchange coupled with their low combat level makes them a great way to earn coins and gain combat experience. The major and most noticeable drawback to money making with hill giants, however is that the Edgeville Dungeon is usually very crowded.

In order to save weight whilst training on these giants, only equip dragonhide armour; if you are at least level 65, you will not get hit frequently. This will reduce your weight, thereby allowing you to run further. Only equip a [[rune scimitar]] or [[rune 2h]]. This will save one inventory spot for big bones or limpwurt roots for strength potion brewing. You no longer have to leave a spot for coins, due to the money pouch update; thus, at least 20 spots should be reserved for big bones and the rest could be roots as they are very popular and are worth more than big bones. It is also a good idea to bring a [[bonecrusher]] if you want to gain prayer experience without spending the time to pick up your bone drops.

==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 for the free players, the other two being [[Moss giant]]s and [[Ice giant]]s.
*If a player brings along shortbows and [[arrows]], they can use the ranged weapon to first attack a hill giant before anybody else does and then switch back to a [[Melee]] weapon.
*Some hill giants appear to be wielding [[cleaver]]s, weapons from the [[Recipe for Disaster]] quest.
*The hill giant is one of the monsters known for dropping court summons for the Court Cases Distraction & Diversion.
*The two bald hill giants in Edgeville Dungeon are slightly redder in color.
*A variation of the hill giant seems to be wearing one of [[Torag's hammers]]; however, this may just be an ordinary warhammer.
*Inside the Edgeville Resource Dungeon, hill giants have been known not to attack a player that is resting.
*There are 5 safe spots which can be used for killing hill giants in the Edgeville Dungeon, thus it is a popular place for players to train Ranged.
*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 their muscles on their arms resemble hills.
