Old School RuneScape (OSRS) offers a variety of engaging minigames for players to level up skills, earn rewards, and break the monotony of repetitive grinding. The Giants' Foundry is one such gem- a smithing-focused minigame that combines interactivity, strategy, and OSRS gold rewarding progression.

Unlike traditional anvil smithing, this minigame tasks you with forging massive weapons for Kovac, a friendly hill giant, in an ancient forge beneath the Giants' Plateau. Whether you're a low-level player looking to boost smithing or a veteran chasing efficient XP, this guide covers everything you need to master the Giants' Foundry.

Prerequisites: What You Need to Start

Before you can begin forging giant swords, you must meet two core requirements to unlock the minigame. These are straightforward and easy to complete, even for new players.

First, you need a Smithing level of 15 (non-boostable). This is a modest requirement-you can quickly reach level 29 by completing the Knight's Sword quest, which skips the early grind entirely.

Second, you must complete the "Sleeping Giants" quest. This short, novice quest introduces you to Kovac and the foundry's basic mechanics, with no combat or major challenges. It takes roughly 15 minutes to finish.

You'll also need a few basic items: metal bars (bronze to rune, depending on your level), and either a bucket of water or ice gloves to handle hot preforms. A bucket is available inside the foundry if you forget yours.

Getting to the Giants' Foundry

The Giants' Foundry is located in a cave beneath the Giants' Plateau, east of Al Kharid. There are several fast ways to reach it, depending on your available teleports.

The quickest method is using the minigame teleport via the Grouping Menu-this takes you directly to the foundry's entrance. For players without this option, other reliable choices work too.

You can teleport to Al Kharid Palace with an Amulet of Glory and run north, or use a Ring of Dueling to cheap RS gold teleport to Emir's Arena and head west. Gnome glider users can fly to Kar-Hewo and walk north to the plateau.

Once you reach the Giants' Plateau, speak to Kovac to enter the foundry and begin your smithing journey.
