Elden Ring - Circling to Killing Giants (Low Level Strategy lol)

• I'm six months late but I'm finally playing Elden Ring on PS4. I picked a Confessor-class so I could be an incantation-wielding swordswoman.

• The main quest of Elden Ring is to collect the broken pieces of the Elden Ring from a goddesses' demonic children and become the Elden Lord.

• In this video, I recently died while sheepherding giants into attacking each other. Following my compass display overhead I have to grab the runes dropped at my death so I don't lose them forever.

• Not sure what level I am, somewhere in the twenties -- I have a sword, shield, and two spells: healing and fire ball.

• I use or goat-horse steed, Torrent, to quickly return to where the five giants are waiting for me.

• Thank the Elden gods for Torrent's double jump which saves me from losing help from a steep fall.

• I start with two giants and get them to attack each other while aiming at me. It's then that I notice their stagger and try to attack them while they're down but I'm not doing as much damage as they're doing to each other.

• Alternating between my health flasks and my healing spell when I dismount, I try to fix my health when I ride too close or get cornered resulting in damage.

• The giants do a lot more damage to each other when using their giant swords.

• There's some kind of large identation or hollow at their abdomen, perhaps a well-timed fireball will do a decent amount of damage.

• Sometimes when the giants fall, their heads emit a gold light ... not sure what that is.

• After downing one giant, I ride toward another seated nearby and bring him into my sheepherding circles of death.

• I'm not sure if Torrent has a limit-time to riding him or her but I find myself jumping off them and having to remount.

• I finish off the 3rd giant with a fireball and do something similar with the other two in the distance.

• Hopefully I can figure out how to kill these guys easier but it's nice to get 1000 runes per kill, sometimes without me even attackign them.
