Yes.. I seem to be in the same position that you are in.  From what I
can tell, hitting the beast in the legs does nothing at all... Hitting
him in the head does the most (only?) damage.  One curious thing that
I noted:  you can make the giant  jump up and down indefinitely if you
stand in front him and jump at the same time he does.  Possibly you
can wack him in the head for each jump until he is dead.   I have
Pitfall burnout right now, so I haven't tried this out all the way
yet.... Good luck and let me know how it goes.
