  • 1 of 5: If the giant couldn't see you, he couldn't kill you.
  • 2 of 5: Do you have anything that would make you invisible?
  • 3 of 5: The ring of invisibilty, perhaps?
  • 4 of 5: The ring of invisibility will protect you from the giant.  Soon the giant will fall asleep, and you can TAKE the Chest.
