So I'm thinking that you'd start by using a minimal damage weapon or spell, or perhaps no weapon, and see how much HP it has in each form, recording alongside the number of encounters, your level, and your stats. Then throw us the data, and we'll number-crunch it into a formula. Anyone up to it?

Whatever this thing's HP is, it's got a lot of it. It took several Firestorms to take it down.--Yubi Shines 14:51, 3 March 2008 (MST)
Some of the guys in chat were guessing it's HP goes up everytime you battle it. I recall it taking over 900 points of damage in my last battle with it. -- Gohan Meteora 14:57, 3 March 2008 (MST)
The last time I fought it last night, it took 14 Psionic Blasts to take it down. I do 190±~10 per Blast - you do the math. (For what it's worth, the time before was 13, and it was the first time I went straight Psionic on it.) I'll report again after tonight. soleta 15:26, 3 March 2008 (MST)
I'd back the HP increasing thing - Just fought my first one, hit with EMP for 120, electric net for 13, and a normal strike for 113+3+3+3+3 = total of 258 damage to drop it. --Denarius 16:52, 3 March 2008 (MST)
They all get tougher. The first time in that area, the other bots will fall to thrown sparks. I don't know if it caps or not, but the last one I fought, I threw an enerbun at it for about 1100 damage, which gives me a rough estimate of... 2200 hp. Cristiona
- Satan and I have seen GGGs with approx 4000 hp, so yeah. --ζειαηđδηǐ (τ|ϛ) 22:50, 3 March 2008 (MST)
- Yeah, and I cracked 4000 today. Gotta wonder if there's a cap, otherwise this has the potential to get ridiculous very, very quickly. Cristiona
Today's sole Giant: 1920 + 7 (190±10) + 50 = 3180 < ? < 3370. And I'm done with the first three "quests", so we'll see how it goes when I have to go back. soleta 23:23, 3 March 2008 (MST)
It might also be dependent on your character level. I'm level 12 and the GGGs I've fought today have had ca 500-700 hp. Luckily they don't hit for much damage. --BongBob 02:22, 4 March 2008 (MST)
So... who wants to spade? Here's what it will take:
- A newly made multi, or one that hasn't been in space.
- A way to deal very small amounts of damage (at first)
- A way to deal to stay alive for a long long time in combat.
- Precise recording of damage
- Damaging spells, as attack power/weapon power/monster defense mechanics are a mystery.
- Patience to deal 40 damage at a time to a monster with 1000+ hp.
- S.M.A.R.T. Software might help
So I'm thinking that you'd start by using a minimal damage weapon or spell, or perhaps no weapon, and see how much HP it has in each form, recording alongside the number of encounters, your level, and your stats. Then throw us the data, and we'll number-crunch it into a formula. Anyone up to it? Rykar 10:50, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Wouldn't an enerbun globule be easier? It deals approximately 50% of current HP. Cristiona
