simple answer is, look at the intended level range for the zone the monster is in. lower the level, easier the monster

I'd tend to agree with the notable exception of Lusca in IP; you have to kill all the tentacles, each of which is essentially a separate GM and the head, also a GM. Individually they aren't too tough, but having all of them together makes for quite a challenge.|

But apparently it IS possible to solo Lusca with the right build and all bloody day to do it in; someone posted a while back an account of the fight using an Ill/Rad.

The easiest GMs would be Kraken (though his toxic damage can be tricky), Paladin, Babbage and Adamastor
The hardest GMs to kill would be DE Monsters from Eden/Abyss (lvl 50) Kronos Titan (lvl 52), U'kon Grai (sp? lvl 54) and Rikti Motherships (lvl 54)

Isn't Lusca's head (after the tentacles are gone) actually the absolute easiest? The few times I have been a part of a Lusca team, I do not recall ever seeing the head attack or do anything other than pathetically bob around in the waters of IP.

It still spits out it's ink attack. It's just not anywhere near as potent as the AoE tentacle smack.

Lusca's head has very high resistances ranging from 60% to 80% across all damage types

Out of curiosity.
Can you defeat Luscas head first and if so, do you still need to defeat the tentacles?
Quote:
No afaik you need to take out all the tentacles first before attacking the head.

From the wiki: To defeat Lusca, you must first defeat all eight tentacles before you can take down the head. After each successful defeat of a tentacle, Lusca will submerge and surface nearby.

I have a Illusion/Thermal controller which I am finishing IO'ing out and I had a question about Giant Monsters.
All I want to know is if someone can list and rank them from hardest to easiest to kill.
