Background

This dropdown contains the synopsis of The Rolling Giant’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

The Rolling Giant's creation is first shown in part 1 of The Oldest View. It later first physically appears in part 3 of The Oldest View, first acting like it cannot move in front of Wyatt while he is traveling around the abandoned mall.

It gives up this bit chasing after him and then pretending it cannot go up the escalators Wyatt hides on when it gets near.

Eventually during the final chase it reveals it can actually climb up the escalators and watches Wyatt try to climb out of the mall before falling to his death or escaping depending on the ending.
