Useful Info

Polyphemus is a unique cyclops who has somehow managed to tame a pack of death yaks. He prefers to pelt you with large rocks while you deal with his herd before moving in to attack you in melee. He can often be found in the upper floors of the Shoals, but does not generate in every game.

Location

Tips & Tricks

  • The main danger comes from his death yak pack. Polyphemus himself is only somewhat more dangerous than a normal cyclops, and certainly less of a threat than an ettin or even a stone giant.
  • The deep water of the Shoals can work to your advantage if you're capable of attacking at range. His death yaks may be trapped on one island as you blast them and their shepherd from another.
  • If you do have to deal with him and his herd up close, be careful not to let them surround you out in the open. Use stair dancing to limit the number of yaks able to attack you at once.

Trivia

Polyphemus is a reference to the shepherd cyclops who tried to kill Odysseus in the Odyssey.
