Fire giants are a type of giant and are the second strongest giant in the game. They are known for their high gold charm drop rate and good experience rates for combat and Slayer. Like all giants, they have high life points but low defence for their combat level. They attack with melee.

Fire giants are weak to Magic, specifically water spells, and any tier 70 or higher Magic weapon should suffice. Melee is also a viable approach, although not as effective. Lower-levelled players may need to mitigate damage taken via additional food or vampyrism effects such as the aura, scrimshaw, or superior scrimshaw.

Herbicide or the herb bag, and the gem bag can be useful when killing fire giants due to their relatively common herb and uncut gem drops.

Locations

Location	Levels	Members	Spawns	Map
Smoke Dungeon	85		6	Maplink
Chaos Tunnels	85		20	Maplink
Baxtorian Falls resource dungeon	85		11	Maplink
Waterfall Dungeon	85		11	Maplink
Brimhaven Dungeon	85		13	Maplink

They are most easily accessed through Brimhaven dungeon, requiring 875 coins or the hard Karamja achievements to be completed. After completion of the Waterfall Quest, the Waterfall Dungeon can also be used. With completion of the quest and level 35 Dungeoneering, the Baxtorian Falls resource dungeon may also be used. While they may also be fought in the Smoke Dungeon under Pollnivneach or the Chaos Tunnels, the former requires face protection via a face mask or slayer helmet and the latter is a series of complicated tunnel systems that may prove undesirable for most players. They were removed from the wilderness dungeon on August 1st, 2022 and have not been replaced. This means the slayer tasks associated with them cannot be completed at this time.

Trivia

• Even though the TokKul-Zo is supposed to work against "TzHaar, Fire and Obsidian creatures", it has no effect on Fire Giants; as no charges are used. This may be due to the fact that the TokKul-Zo is designed for use against lava creatures.
• A hidden update on 9 July 2013 caused fire giants to no longer be aggressive. This was reverted on 9 February 2015, making them aggressive again.
• These monsters create a very quiet rustling or hissing sound all the time, which gets louder as you get closer to the giant. According to the Audio Options interface, this is considered an ambient sound. It likely represents their internal fire, visible from above a giant's head.
• These monsters were popular for training ranged prior to the Evolution of Combat, but lost popularity due to their new ability to retaliate with ranged attacks of their own. They lost their ranged attacks in an update in early 2021.
• Before the graphical updates, the Fire Giants' weapon was often thought to be a Dragon 2h sword. This was before Dragon 2hs were released in the game, so this similarity was noted by many players. One player even asked in the third Postbag from the Hedge:

“	Hi, I would like to ask the fire giant a question. Why is it that you have the only dragon two handed sword in the game, and you don't even drop it? Yours truly, Jabbaz	”
— Jabbaz

The reply was:

“	If you had the only dragon two-handed sword in the game, would you drop it?	”
— Fire giant

• Fire giants used to be exclusive to members until 9 October 2017 which unlocked the "Deep Wilderness" section for free players, including the dungeon the giants reside in.
