In this room, you die pretty much instantly unless you kill the first giant you meet straight away. No need to dance around the room. I've solved the room killing the first giant on a pressure plate, and I've solved the room killing the first giant next to a pressure plate.

The important thing in my solution is:

I don't really understand the rabbits hint. I think she is giving a hint for the non-secret room. Please read the rest of the hints before deciding if you want to look at the picture!

The key principle is that monsters can't step on your sword, so you try to block giants and golems with it on the turns that they move, using half-turns to reposition when needed.

The process I used:
