The Cyclops is a boss of Enshrouded, found in the Albaneve Summits. It is weak to fire and Shroud damage.
Cyclops Location
West part of the summits near Wildwater Basin; braziers lead up to the caves. The Farmer quest Gathering Wool In The Albaneve Summits marks this spot for its yak herd.

- Shroud (effective).
- Cutting, Piercing, Poison and Shock deal normal damage.

- Blunt (resisted).
- Ice (resisted).
How to Beat the Cyclops
- Prepare for the cold: the Albaneve Summits run a frost timer above the snow line, and the timer reaching zero kills you outright. Bring cold-weather food or armour.
- Bring a fire or Shroud weapon; leave blunt and ice weapons as backups only, since the Cyclops shrugs those off.
- Ranged builds: keep moving around the cave and shoot it while it lumbers after you.
- Melee builds: stay close to its ankles so it keeps choosing the stomp, roll out when the foot lifts, then attack the opposite foot.
- Watch your stamina; an empty bar is the usual way a stomp lands.

Lore
The head item text says the severed head still seems to look down on you with scorn. Before the curse, Cyclops lived on the mountaintops of the Albaneve Summits; some fled into the Hollow Halls and were turned into the Hollow Cyclops. A lore note (Cyclops Head Research) is a reply to a sergeant who handed in a Cyclops head: the head is being sent to a nearby laboratory, and his request for extra pay after two of his men were torn apart by the Cyclops is put off. The Polaris Falls Cyclops Cave notes come from locals near a bridge: a goat keeper afraid of losing more goats to the one-eyed beasts, and a guard leader ordered to protect the trade route who dismisses the Cyclops as strong but dim. The Ignite The Coldest Elixir Well quest text says northern soldiers built Elixir Wells in the mountains and tainted both the snow and its old inhabitants.
Notes
- The plain Cyclops is one of the easiest boss-class enemies in the game.
- It belongs to its own Cyclops faction and is hostile on sight.
- Variants: the Hollow Cyclops guards the Hollow Halls dungeons and the Fell Cyclops guards Elixir Wells in the Albaneve Summits; neither should be confused with the plain cave Cyclops.
- Plain Cyclops reappear at their lairs, so their heads can be farmed.
- Repeatable bosses come back after some in-game time passes or after a server restart.
- Six of the seven Cyclops Skeleton pieces for the Collector quest A Skeleton Cyclops Collection come from Cyclops lairs: kill the Cyclops there and loot the part. The Torso comes from the Fell Cyclops and the Skull from a tower at Balefire Stronghold Lance Point.
- Picking up any skeleton piece unlocks the Cyclops Showcase recipe at the Collector (15 Metal Sheets, 15 Charcoal, 10 Ectoplasm Block, 10 Ectoplasm Fragment, 30 Bones), which displays the assembled skeleton.
