<p>AcridBrimistic: /* Tips &amp; Tricks */</p> <hr /> <div>{{version017}}<br /> {{list of | giants}}<br /> {{monster info}}<br /> <br /> ==Useful Info==<br /> '''Cyclopes''' are slow, hard-hitting giants that are a menace at range. They usually generate with three or four [[large rock]]s on hand, which they will happily hurl at you from range. Cyclopes can appear alone or with a herd of [[sheep]] or [[yak]]s around them, and can be most commonly found in the late [[Dungeon]], [[the Vaults]] and [[the Shoals]].<br /> <br /> ==Tips &amp; Tricks==<br /> Hide around corners and attack them at close range or cast [[Repel Missiles|Repel]]/[[Deflect Missiles]] if you're a mage. If there are other monsters around, you can use them as a shield, and hopefully the cyclops will kill them for you.<br /> <br /> They have a pretty lousy MR, [[confuse|confusing]] them will eliminate most of the harm they can do to you.<br /> <br /> As you might expect, they can't [[See invisible|See Invisible]], so quaffing a potion of invisibility can let you escape in a dire situation.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> The presence of sheep and yaks is a reference to Homer's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Odyssey ''The Odyssey''], where cyclopes are presented as shepherds.</div>
