Who said that old-school games could not be fun in 2023? Even though we’re bombarded with numerous titles that feature impressive graphics, opting for those pixelated old-school games can still be extremely delightful, even for hardcore gamers.
Today we want to bring to your attention the quest known as Sleeping Dogs, which came out in mid-2022. We’re talking about a stand-alone quest where not anybody has access. You’ll have to be one of the official members, but that shouldn’t be an impediment for your happiness.
Sleeping Giants is more like a peaceful game
To the astonishment of many folks out there, it needs to be said that Sleeping Giants can be played and completed without even relying on combat skills. Instead, Smithing will have to be prioritized.
So, what is the purpose of Sleeping Giants? Actually, it’s very easy to comprehend once you get used to it! In this game, players will have to collaborate with Kovac in order to explore the giant workshop that’s placed beneath the Giants’ Plateau. Players will even have the chance to unlock a mini-game known as Giant’s Foundry, which has the purpose of helping a giant known as Kovac with smithing weapons.
If you’re wondering how to get to the cave where the quest of the Sleeping Giant is, well, you’re in luck! There is more than just a way to do that, and luckily, we know them all:
- The Al Kharid gate from
- The Grouping teleporting to the Giants’
- An Amulet of Glory teleporting to the Al Kharid
- The Gnome Glider flying to Kar-Hewo.
- A Ring of Dueling teleporting to the Emir’
However, it’s crucial to come prepared. You’ll need certain resources in order to repair parts of the foundry:
- 3 oak logs.
- 1 chisel.
- 1 bucket of water or Ice.
- 10 nails.
- 20 empty inventory.
How to start and progress
The beginning and progress of the quest in Sleeping Giants can be a bit complicated, but certainly not impossible to comprehend. First, you need to go to the Giants’ Plateau east of Al Kharid. The fastest way to do this is to teleport to Al Kharid using an Amulet of Glory and then head east from the palace. The next step is to look for a Hill Giant near a huge anvil that has a “Strike” option instead of an “Attack” option. If you try to attack the Hill Giant, it will stop you and ask for your assistance.
This particular giant is known as Kovac, and you can begin the Sleeping Giants quest by simply interacting with him. He will invite you to join him in his goal to restore the Giant Foundry, which is an ancient relic that giants used in the past to create huge weapons. Kovac wants to rebuild the foundry and forge weapons so that his kind can remember their history.
To reach the Giant Foundry, you need to follow Kovac to a cave located nearby. You’ll have to repair the broken parts of the foundry. If you forget any important items, there’s a large chest nearby where you can access your bank. Once the foundry is repaired, you need to talk to Kovac again.
The situation will trigger a tutorial for the Giant’s Foundry mini-game, where you have to create a sword for Kovac’s old friend Obor. You need to start by filling the crucible with bronze and iron from the crate near the cave exit to begin smithing. Afterward, you need to interact with Kovac once more to receive instructions on how to shape the sword’s forte, blade, and tip.
