Np, You need the Activation Code from The November issue of PC Gamer

I'm not a big fan of minipets myself (just find them useless, I could spend my money on more usefull weapons, armor, etc.) so I'm probably not going to bother getting one.

From your screenshot. it looked like the Gray Giant is pretty big to be considered mini!

Wow...if only the Charr Shaman were that big
Sagaris
Man.. now I want one.
Farrell-Zander
They are big ^^ Pretty nice 
Do they make any sounds? Why is it gold and not green like the kuuna. I hope I can get myself one.

Someone make a tiny female monk/ranger with that minipet lol
Crystal Alice
i think that the gray giant's are really ugly. i just got one so that i could say i have the new mini. and who knows... it could be worth something like kunaavang.

It Sometimes Makes Growling Sounds. But Rarely. Which is a godo thing. Remember Kuunavang?
I think you can make a Female Monk about 6 inches taller as a minimum size.

So, if you get this pet on your character you created for this weekend only can you ever get it again?
I've got the code entered, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep the giant if I activate him on my character for this WPE.

Anyway, thanks!

I think they won't purge the characters made, you just have to wait until retail so you can trade the mini-pet in the shared bank to your other characters.
I accidently typed in both commands to unlock the pre-order weapons on the character I probably won't keep. "Nightfall Previewer" would be useless when it comes out.

Former Ruling
The quest is dumbly simple (Walk outside and kill a lvl8, walk back inside, walk back outside and talk to something, walk back inside, done)
but the pet is leet.
Wabbajack - Anet and the amgazine both say that they are purge the character and you'll have to redo the quest upon release.

I have a problem.
I added the access key to my main Prophecies/factions account, and everything went smoothly, but I can't find my pet. Where do they show up? I am looking all over for it. and its nowhere.

you have to make a new Nightfall character and get to the city (or town) of Kamadan. when you get into Kamadan type /bonusitems which will give you a broken toy. then get the quest from Mahk in Kamadan called The Toy's Story. finish this quest and you'll get the giant. and if you're worried about losing him, don't worry, it says once the official game comes out that just follow these steps again and you'll have it

Showa Goji
I purchased a sealed PC Gamer, added the Gray Giant mission to my current account and still when I'm in Kamadan typing /bonusitems doesn't return a broken toy. I also checked edit account>manage access keys to make sure it was on there and it was. I've yet to get a answer from plaync knowledge base so I'm wondering does anyone know how to fix this or anyone having this same problem?
Crystal Alice
have you checked to see if you entered the exact code? you may have typed in a letter or number wrong. also, there can be bugs that anet will have to work out with Nightfall.
SilentAssassin
sry to say, but they are REALLY ugly
Gavin The Great
Can I just ask which issue of PC gamer this is in. I looked in my local gamestation store (UK) today and the latest issue is October, November issue isnt out 'till Sept 28th. I really want that mag (presuming that it has guild wars stuff in, and I want the pet!!!) can someone tell me where they bought it from please!!!!!
Saraphim
The mag is the US edition, November issue. A friend of mine bought a copy of it for me and emailed the code, and it worked. So it's not specific to the US server if you can get hold of it. There was some info somewhere about the UK / Europe getting a different mini pet, but I'm too lazy to look...
He's kinda bland I thought, but at least he doesn't shout the house down the way the Kuunavang does. I never take that damn thing out of my inventory..
Here's my little fella.. nice rear view shot there.

Are all the codes unique? Or is it just the one code for everything?
prism2525
If all pets are relatively scaled to their 'real-life' counterparts, that will be one hell of a giant.
Not all minipets are of monsters though (Rurik), is it possible for it to be a good giant? (highly unlikely but still i'd prefer it)

Saraphim
It's a unique code you add to your access keys that gives you just the giant (well, to be more precise a broken toy and a quest). I don't know if the magazine comes bagged or not, but if it doesn't someone could easily pinch the code if they wanted to, so I'd imagine they should be bagged.
Knightsaber Sith
I don't think people need to worry "too much" about it not being bagged. Even with the magazine in front of me; it took me 10 minutes to decipher the smeary chicken scratch code and enter it correctly. Chances are that even if someone tried to write it down in the store; they got it wrong. Then again; watch out for the dorks with camera phones....
Gavin The Great
So anyone in america feel like buying the mag for me and emailing me the code? ^_^
