Consider yourself lucky then if you found 4 giants. I was in SRo the other
day helping someone to get the Brazen Brass Kilj plans. When we arrived,
there were no giants around plus nobody else camping them. My group killed
all kinds of lower level mobs in hopes of getting giants to spawn. We spent
over an hour and all we ever got was one giant. We gave up at that point.
