The Cyclops is a towering one-eyed giant of enormous strength, found across the wilds of Vermund and Battahl. It roams forests and ruins, guards caves and bridges, and its single eye is the key to bringing it down.
Cyclops Lore
Cyclopes are described as monstrously strong one-eyed giants that swing huge weapons with ease and never back away from a fight. Their lone eye is their undoing, whether it is struck from afar or attacked up close by a fighter brave enough to climb the giant's body.
How to Beat the Cyclops
The eye in the Cyclops's head is its weak spot, and archers and spellcasters do their best work aimed there, while climbing up to strike it directly deals heavy damage. Lightning is its elemental weakness. A Cyclops that loses its balance and falls leaves its head open to the whole party. One Cyclops that lurks by a dammed river in the dark can be badly hurt by breaking the rocks that hold back the water and letting the torrent crash down on it. Tempting a Cyclops onto a broken bridge makes it fall and wedge itself across the gap, where it can be walked over to earn the achievement Cyclops Abridged.
Where to Find the Cyclops
In Vermund, Cyclopes roam the ruins of the Ancient Battleground, where one clashes with a Drake, wander near the entrance of Rain Shelter Cave and patrol the broken bridge north-east of Vernworth. During Beren's Final Lesson one chases Randall down a hillside. In Battahl, Cyclopes guard the approach to Drabnir's Grotto and the way inside, and one can be met near the Crumbling Ruins. On Agamen Volcanic Island, a Cyclops fights Wargs on the path from the Volcanic Island Camp to the Excavation Site.

Cyclops Quests
In Dragon's Wake ends on the road from Melve to the capital. As the Arisen travels with Gregor and his men, a Cyclops bursts out where the path is blocked and has to be beaten before the journey can continue, and the same encounter opens One-Eyed Interloper.
One-Eyed Interloper is that fight in full. A huge Cyclops crashes into the party on its way to the capital, and the only objective is to bring it down before pressing on to Vernworth.
Claw Them Into Shape takes place at Beren's camp in northern Vermund. After the Arisen spars with Beren, word arrives of an attack on his soldiers, and following Beren to the scene shows that Goblins and a Cyclops fell upon them. The damage done costs Beren his post as instructor.
Beren's Final Lesson returns to Moonglow Garden in northern Vermund, where the Cyclops that savaged Beren's recruits comes back, this time chasing Randall. The Arisen and the Pawns fight it alongside Beren and his charges and finally put it down.
House of the Blue Sunbright sees Sebastian prepare for the road to Melve, and Daphne suggests he carry something that reeks of Cyclops to keep other beasts away. A Misshapen Eye taken from a slain Cyclops serves the purpose when it is handed to him before he sets off.
