Sleeping Giants
In Sleeping Giants, players work with Kovac to explore the giant workshop underneath the Giants’ Plateau.

Players have a couple of ways to reach the cave featuring the Sleeping Giants quest and are recommended to come with the required resources to repair the foundry.
The Giants’ Plateau is a region located east of Al Kharid, the only Kharidian Desert city accessible to non-member players. There are five ways to get to the cave where the Sleeping Giants quest is:
- The Grouping teleport to the Giants’
- An Amulet of Glory teleport to the Al Kharid
- A Ring of Dueling teleport to the Emir’s
- The Gnome Glider flight toKar-Hewo.
- The Al Kharid gate from
Make sure to come prepared, as you will need certain resources to repair various parts of the foundry:
- 3 oak logs.
- 10 nails.
- 1 chisel.
- 1 bucket of water or Ice
- 20 empty inventory
Sleeping Giants quest breakdown
To begin the quest, head to the Giants’ Plateau just east of Al Kharid. Teleporting to Al Kharid with an Amulet of Glory and then heading east from the palace is the quickest route. Look for a Hill Giant near the massive anvil with a ‘Strike’ option rather than an ‘Attack’ option. If you try to hit the Hill Giant, it will stop you and ask for your help.
This giant is Kovac, and by interacting with him, you can initiate the Sleeping Giants quest. He will invite you to join him in his quest to repair the Giant Foundry, an ancient relic of giant history used to forge massive weapons. Kovac wants to rebuild the foundry and smith weapons so that his kin can remember their past.
To reach the Giant Foundry, players have to follow Kovac to a nearby cave. You will be tasked to repair the broken parts of the foundry. If you forget something essential, you can always access your bank through a large chest nearby. Once the foundry has been repaired, speak with Kovac again.
This will prompt a tutorial for the Giant’s Foundry minigame where you have to create a sword for Kovac’s old friend Obor. Fill the crucible with some bronze and iron found in the crate by the cave exit to begin smithing. Afterward, speak with Kovac again to get instructions on how to cast the sword’s forte, blade, and tip.
When you have a mold, talk to Kovac about pouring the molten metal from the crucible into the molding jig. Get a bucket next to the polishing wheel and fill it on the waterfall. Use the bucket of water to cool the sword and obtain the preform. Should you have Ice Gloves, you can skip the bucket part. You will now have to refine the preform into a giant sword by following the steps below:
- Usethe preform on the lava pool to heat it to its maximum Select ‘Dunk-preform’ to speed up the process. The temperature should reach red.
- Repeatedly strike the preform with the Trip Hammer until the progress bar reaches the yellow In order to maintain the sword’s quality, the temperature must remain red throughout the process. The preform can be cooled by using the Trip Hammer.
- Usethe waterfall to lower the temperature of the preform until it is nearly You can choose to cool the preform rapidly with the ‘Quench-preform’ option.
- Use the Grindstone for the perform to reach the green progress The Grindstonewill cause the preform to heat up, so be mindful of the temperature.
- Then the preform should be cooled in the waterfall until it reaches a highgreen
- To finish the sword, use the preform on the Polishing Wheel but keep an eye onthe temperature as the Polishing Wheel will cool
This quest cannot be failed as Kovac will accept any sword regardless of its quality.
