==Strategy==
* They move fairly fast.
* If you can fight them in an open area you can dodge their swings.
* The best bet is to use ranged attacks, and take full advantage of the terrain available.
* ''These guys can't climb'', so backtrack to a place where you have to pull yourself up to get away from them.
''To clear the island with four of them (!) in the poison swamp of 5-2, drop the ramp that leads back to the beginning of the area, then snipe them from this area of raised walkway. With the [[Thief's Ring]] equipped they'll walk back to the island after you stop shooting for a bit. Since you're safe on the shortcut walkway, you might try buffing your attacks with a [[ Clever Rat's Ring]] to save time (Magic Sword "Makoto" helps since it carries a curse that drops 0.5% of your maximum hp/sec).''
* Don't fight them while standing in the swamp. You'll probably get poisoned and they can move quickly through it whereas you can not.
* Always fight from dry land! ''Prepare to die if you don't because you cannot and I repeat cannot dodge at all in the swamp.''
* Eventually, the Giant Depraved One may give up its chase as it gets too far away from its origin point or you get far enough away from it that it doesn't see you any longer, or you'll get to dry land where you can take up the fight.
'''Do not try to melee a Giant Depraved One in the swamp unless you're 100 percent certain that your attack is going to kill it.'''
* If you get a comfortable distance away from it, you can shoot arrows or magic. However, considering that you're probably at the very least poisoned, it's usually best to use that little respite to pop a quick antidote and/or herb instead, and keep on moving.
===Clockwise strategy===
* Lock-on and dodge to the left when he attacks.
* Locking-on and strafing clockwise works if you are really near each other because, more often than not, his arm (during his swing attack) won't do any damage.
===Lava Bow strategy===
* They're weak to fire and dangerous when close, so ranged fire drops them pretty easily.
* Note that they tend to move very quickly once they spot you, and if they get to you when you've got a bow out, you'll usually be in trouble.
* Use a [[Thief's Ring]] or [[Cloak]] to maximize your shooting time. Since no rolling is required, this works in the swamp as well.
