Elden Ring's Dead Giants Were Nearly As Tall As The Erdtree
The Souls series has a bunch of staples--fog walls, bonfires, poise, Patches, cackling British dickheads, and a hub full of cackling British dickheads. But one of the less noted staples is the giants. There are your actual giants (the species), but also big tall gods and knights like Vendrick and Ornstein. The general rule of thumb is the more powerful you are, the bigger you get. But luckily, we didn't have to contend with any Titan-level threats in Elden Ring, because they're all dead.
YouTuber Zullie the Witch poured over the Soulsborne games, including cut content, to unpack the tallest of the tall. Dark Souls 3's Wolnir, who we see as a husk with no lower body crawling through a black abyss, is expectedly enormous. Zullie took the upper half of the body and matched it to a regular skeleton and found a rough estimate of his height, clocking in at 74 meters. But Sekiro goes even further with its Straw Doll at an impressive 191 meters tall.

Elden Ring's last survivor of the giants, the aptly named Fire Giant, is 24 meters tall. We also have the descendant of giants, the trolls, who reach around 8.4 meters tall. It sounds tiny compared to Wolnir and the Straw Doll, but if you've played Elden Ring, you'll know they're still huge. Yet all of them are nothing compared to the long-dead skeletons of the primordial giant species, who we find littered across the Mountaintop of Giants. Their skulls are melded into clifftops with roots flowing through their open mouths and crumbling eye sockets.
Like with Wolnir, Zullie detached their skulls and attached them to an upscaled regular skeleton, finding that they would be around 632 meters tall.
