"Merciful are the rains that fall, for they give succor to the thirsting land, and comfort the old wounds of one who journeyed too far from home." Such were the botanist's words, and I would see as she saw.

— Sightseeing Log Impressions

Local legend claims the Lonely Giant is everything from the ghost of a Sil'dihn sultan, to the prototype for a new model of Garlean machina. Ul'dahn scholars, however, simply believe him a Coerthan goobbue who lost his bearings during the chaos of the Calamity, and after a long journey through the Black Shroud, died of exhaustion upon reaching Thanalan.

— Sightseeing Log Vista Record

The Lonely Giant is part of the Sightseeing Log for A Realm Reborn.

Solution

It is located under the base of the tree clump across from the Goobbue. Vista is in the middle/front of the tree clump. You will get a chat log message that stats "You have arrived at a vista!" if you are in the right location. When you move out of the Vista, you will see a chat log message "You have strayed too far from the vista."

Note that regardless of the correct location and weather and emote, you can only complete this between 5am to 6am ET.
