You'll start seeing the Hill Gigas pop up a lot once you're in the Deist region. These guys hit hard, so just mashing the attack button isn't going to cut it anymore. This is where you really want to start thinking about using status effect spells like Curse or Sleep. If you're planning on casting a lot of spells, make sure you're carrying enough Ethers to keep your MP topped up. You don't want to run out of juice at a critical moment!
Getting to Deist Cavern:
To find the Deist Cavern, just head north from Castle Deist. Keep going north, and you'll spot a cavern entrance in the mountains. That's your destination. Keep an eye out for those monsters mentioned above as you make your way there!
