Ink Monster

The Ink Monster aka "the Giant", is a boss that Jason Brody will have to destroy during Far Cry 3 's main storyline. It is part of a hallucination triggered by the hallucinogen Citra gives to Jason. The Ink Monster represents Hoyt and Vaas's tyranny over the Rook Islands. Jason's will have to overcome the giant to prove to Citra and the Rakyat that he is indeed their legendary Warrior.

==Strategy==
This fight is fairly simple, even on the 'Warrior' difficulty, but it can prove to be challenging if the player cannot read the Ink Monster's tactics quickly. All arrows must be fired at the mask of the monster. Any other body part will not do any damage. If you've not already taken the Combat Archery kill (in Spider skills, with two prerequisite skills), taking it before this mission can make completion easier by allowing you to fire arrows faster.
The Giant has two main attacks and one indirect attack; The first main attack is when the Ink Monster leans towards Jason's location and exhales a massive blue/purple flame-column from its mouth. Just as the Ink Monster leans inwards you can hit him in the face with an explosive arrow (if quick enough) or quickly run to the side and then hit him with the arrow.
Once the beast's health (his mask is his health bar) is down a bit, he will vanish and start using his indirect attack by sending Ink Minions to attack you from behind. Dispatch them quickly using your melee or normal/explosive arrows. They can drain your health quickly if they are not dealt with immediately.
Finally, when the Giant comes back, he will use his last main attack; palm-blasts, which send three massive shockwaves in Jason's immediate direction. To avoid these devastating attacks, run directly away from where you were last standing when the Ink Monster starts throwing them. (Do not try to stop and run back or to the side, forward is the best way to dodge the blasts completely.) You can also try shooting his projectiles with explosive arrows.
Once you have downed the Ink Monster, you must finish it off. Run up its outstretched arm and follow the quick-time event to  repeatedly jam your knife into its vulnerable eye and slay the giant.

* Citra can be heard moaning in the background as the player fights the Ink Monster.
* The masked minions are called "Jason Beheader Minions" in the map editor when selecting a Hostile AI to spawn.
