How to Beat the Cyclops

How to Beat Cyclops
Attack the Legs from Behind Aim for the Head for Long Range Attacks Topple the Cyclops Focus on the Head Once It's Down Use the Torrent from the Waterfall to Deal Damage

Attack the Legs from Behind

Attack the Cyclops' legs from behind to deal damage safely as a melee attacker. Make sure you have ways to defend or to avoid its attacks since they deal huge damage.

Aim for the Head for Long Range Attacks

As a long range class such as the Archer or the Mage, focus your attacks on its head rather than behind the legs to deal the most amounts of damage.

Topple the Cyclops

Continue attacking or grabbing the Cyclops until it's starting to lose its balance and topple it to reach its head and deal damage safely without getting attacked.

Grab Its Legs When It's Losing Its Balance

Once the Cyclops starts to lose its balance, grab ahold of its legs and try pulling or pushing them to make the Cyclops fall down on all fours.

Grab the Arms After Losing Balance

Once the Cyclops is on all fours, grab its arms and pull or push them to fully knock it down , giving you ample time to deal tons of damage to its weak spot without the Cyclops attacking.

Focus on the Head Once It's Down

Once the Cyclops is knocked off its balance, melee fighters should focus their attacks on the head as it's the Cyclops' weak spot. You'll deal more damage on that area than on other body parts.

Use the Torrent from the Waterfall to Deal Damage

During the In Dragon's Wake quest, the Cyclops encountered there can be heavily damaged by the torrent from the waterfall. The torrent will come after waiting for a bit, or you can throw a rock at the blockade to release the trapped water.
