yes yes I know, I'm talking about heading in the direction of the catacombs.

You can use large weapons with dex. Lifehunt scythe and halberds are good examples.

The giant skeletons are actually lightly armored and take a tonne of damage, especially when compared to other enemies that are encountered at the same frequency in the later areas.

Lastly, you are guaranteed a Murakumo from Shiva, while not necessarily so from the giant skeletons. You encounter most of the giant skeletons in the tomb of the giants, and even then it's a fairly rare drop. So getting one from the giants isn't necessarily easier.
