The Cyclops is a boss in the Cyclops' Fortress. He alternates between melee combat and throwing knives at players.
The Cyclops seems to have some kind of relationship with the Conehead Groom. Prior to the boss fight, pictures hanging on the wall can see that the two have some kind of history. One is a standard photo of the two of them, while the other shows them fishing. This implies that the two are related, most likely father and son. This is also hinted by the fact that the Cyclops is the one who takes the Green Princess, who is part of an arranged marriage with the Conehead Groom, supporting the theory. This could explain why he grieves so much for the Conehead Groom and always is seen with his coffin.
[edit] Attacks
The Cyclops has two attacks and will alternate between the two. His first attack is slamming two daggers into the ground with great force. This will knock anyone in the way over. The Cyclops will always move as close as it can to the player before attacking. After striking, he will pause momentarily before attacking again. This attack can't be blocked, and the lower his health, the quicker he will run toward the player.
After attacking with Melee four times, he will then move further away from the player and begin throwing knives rapidly. If the players attempt to move vertically, the Cyclops will attempt to line up with the player. He will throw four knives before attempting to charge the player again.
[edit] Strategy
For players who have chaining magic attacks like the Red Knight's Lighting attack or the Industrialist's/Fencers's Saw Blades, attacking the Cyclops should be easy as chaining magics will build damage quickly.
A simple strategy would be to hit the Cyclops with projectile attacks while it is running around, then, when it attempts to slam you with its melee attack, dodge it and then attack the Cyclops while he is paused.
[edit] Additional Information
- The way the Cyclops dies is a reference to the way the Terminator dies in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, giving a thumbs up as he slowly sinks into the lava.
- If the player is killed by the Cyclops, he will growl loudly and do the same animation during the introduction of the fight.
- The music that plays during this boss fight is also used when you fight him again in the undead form. It was not borrowed from anyone, rather the Behemoth created it themselves. Listen to it: [1]
