Players will encounter hundreds, if not thousands of Zeugles as they make their way through the main story ofTales of Arise. Some are a lot more deadly than others, however. Gigant Zeugles are high-level enemies with stats that are far greater than their regular counterparts, making them some of the most challenging enemies inTales of Arise.

Thankfully, these ferocious foes all have a weakness, which comes in the form of an orange core somewhere on their bodies. Destroying this core will lead to an extended break period, during which time players can dish out some considerable damage (providing their party is within five to ten levels of the Zeugle, that is). Each one will drop anAstral Flowerupon their defeat, and beating all 20 will unlock the Big Game Hunter trophy/achievement.
Updated June 17, 2025 by Tom Bowen:Finding every Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise can be a little tricky. Figuring out how to defeat them all, on the other hand, can at times be downright difficult. For this reason, this guide has been updated to include information onhow to beat all of the Gigant Zeugles in Tales of Ariserather than just information on where to find them.

How to Beat the Toxidillo Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
The Toxidillo has no weaknesses nor resistances, so players should use whichever attacks and Artes they feel most comfortable with. Its weak point is on its tail, so players should aim to get behind it whenever possible, while also being sure to avoid its powerful poison and charge attacks.
Boisterous Roper
Where to Find the Boisterous Roper Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
The Boisterous Roper is in theUlvhan Grottoarea. Defeating it will also completethe “Opening Up Trade” sub-quest, though players don’t need to initiate the quest to take the Gigant Zeugle on.
How to Beat the Boisterous Roper Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
The Boisterous Roper is weak to wind attacks, so players should utilize Alphen’s Severing Wind Arte as much as possible. For other party members, players may want to consider disabling all of their non-wind elemental Artes before the battle, just to ensure that they’re always attacking weakness. Once the battle begins, players should focus on taking out the regular Ropers first before targeting the larger variant. The only attack they’ll really need to worry about is its seismic wave, which players can jump over to avoid.
Polycephus
Where to Find the Polycephus Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
Players will battle the Polycephus as part ofthe “Survey Says…” sub-quest, which can be initiated after completingRiville Prison Tower.
How to Beat the Polycephus Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
The Polycephus' weak point is on its front-left leg, so this is where players should target the majority of their attacks. Sadly, the boss has no elemental weaknesses, so it’s simply a case of using a combination of powerful Artes and Boost Attacks to chip away at its health.
Great Dragon
Where to Find the Great Dragon Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
The Great Dragon will show up midway through a battle with some wild boars in the southwestern area of theTraslida Highwayarea.
How to Beat the Great Dragon Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
As with other Gigant Zeugles inTales of Arise, it’s a good idea to take out all of the accompanying enemies first. Once the boars are gone, players should then focus on hitting the Great Dragon with water-based attacks, while also using Rinwell’s Boost Attack to cancel the dragon’s Artes whenever it begins to cast them. Its weak spot is on its chest, so players will need to be mindful of the boss' physical attacks if they plan to target it.
Flamewrecker
Where to Find the Flamewrecker Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
Players will encounter the Flamewrecker atRazum Quarryin the Mining Site 1 area as part ofthe “Walking Crag” sub-quest.
How to Beat the Flamewrecker Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
The Flamewrecker is a relatively straightforward boss thanks in large to the positioning and size of its weak point. It’s spread across the entire height of the Zeugle’s back, making it incredibly easy to target when compared to some of the other Gigant Zeugles inTales of Arise. The boss is weak to water too, so providing players take advantage of this and avoid the boss' powerful physical attacks, they really shouldn’t have too much trouble taking it down.
Relentless Charger
Where to Find the Relentless Charger Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
The Relentless Charger shows up in theTraslida Highwayarea as part ofthe “A Boorish Boor” sub-quest. The quest can only be initiated once players have completedAutelina Palace.
How to Beat the Relentless Charger Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
The Relentless Charger is weak to wind attacks, so players should equip their best wind-based Artes before initiating the battle. As its name might suggest, the Zeugle’s charge attacks are something of a specialty, which can make attacking it head-on a little risky. This doesn’t bode well for those hoping to target the enemy’s weak spot, though they’ll still have ample opportunities to do so whenever the Relentless Charger is knocked down or immediately after it finishes one of its signature charges. Kisara’s Boost Attacks can be useful for dealing with the latter, though mastering the timing may take a couple of attempts.
Alpha Reaper
Where to Find the Alpha Reaper Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
Players will find the Alpha Reaper in the northern part ofTraslida Highwayas part ofthe “Dohalim, Big Game Hunter” sub-quest. As with the previous Gigant Zeugle, players will first need to finish the Autelina Palace section of the main story before the quest can be initiated.
How to Beat the Alpha Reaper Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
Before approaching the Alpha Reaper, players should ensure that they have their best earth Artes equipped. Once the battle begins, they’ll want to take out the smaller Apes first, after which they’ll be able to focus all of their attention on the Gigant Zeugle. Its weak spot is on its right arm, making it fairly easy to target without putting physical attackers directly in harm’s way. With a healthy combination of Boost Attacks and earth elemental Artes, players should be able to break the enemy multiple times during the battle, which will make defeating it a fairly simple task.
Stormbringer
Where to Find the Stormbringer Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
The Stormbringer is fought at theTuah Seashoreas part ofthe “Seaside Tornados” sub-quest, which can be initiated in Thistlym once The Wedge shows up.
How to Beat the Stormbringer Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
The Stormbringer has high attack and low defense stats, making blocks and dodges an incredibly important part of the battle. It’s also weak against earth attacks, so players will want to exploit this fact as often as possible. They should deal with the Archer Hawks first, after which they’ll need to bring the Stormbringer down to the ground by hitting it with a few ranged Artes or Boost Attacks. After that, it’s a simple case of piling on damage, while also aiming for the orange core on the boss' right wing when possible.
Elemental
Where to Find the Elemental Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
Players will do battle with the Elemental (technically, Elementals) in theLavtu Marshlandsarea as part ofthe “Master of Nature” sub-quest, which is handed out by a boy in Pelegion.
How to Beat the Elemental Gigant Zeugle in Tales of Arise
Though players will only square off against a single Elemental to begin with, it will soon be joined by three more, which can make targeting weaknesses (earth, wind, water, and fire) a little tricky. It is possible, but players may be better off taking a brute force physical approach or equipping only light or dark Artes to avoid hitting resistances. Each of the Elementals will use elemental attacks of their own too, so players should consider equipping some Resist Rings and be sure to use Rinwell’s Boost Attack to cancel their Artes whenever possible. It’s also a good idea to pick them off one by one, as together they can be a real handful.
