Useful Info
An ettin is a massive, two-headed humanoid, around the threat level of stone giants. They usually dual-wield dire flails or great maces, allowing them to deal massive damage in melee. They can be found in the deepest portions of the Dungeon, the Orcish Mines, the Vaults, and the Depths.
Tips & Tricks
- Ettins are not complicated opponents; they move into melee range and crush you as best they can. All they have going for them is brute melee strength. So long as you don't engage them in melee, you'll be fine. Even melee characters can win fights against them, but it might require spending some consumables.
- They have low willpower, so all sorts of Hexes and Evocations are good against them. Tukima's Dance works especially well; it takes away their weapon, which lowers their max damage considerably.
- They aren't resistant to poison. Curare darts allow you to outrun ettins, allowing you to fight or make a quick escape.
- Still, you should always respect ettins as threats - they can deal up to 114 damage per turn. An ettin camping the entrance to the Orcish Mines is a reason to ignore that branch for an extended period of time.
History
- Prior to 0.27, ettins dealt 45 base damage per hit. However, all monsters had hidden weapon penalties - they attacked slower with weapons.
