Useful Info
An ettin is basically a somewhat squishier stone giant that hits twice. They dual wield giant clubs, giant spiked clubs, or great maces (sometimes branded), giving them an attack that in theory can deal more damage in melee than any other monster save Antaeus or Tiamat. While their accuracy isn't fantastic, it still hurts when they land hits, and can be devastating when both manage to. They can be found in the deepest portions of the Dungeon and the Vaults.
Tips & Tricks
- Ettins are not complicated opponents; they move into melee range and crush you as best they can. If you can move faster than average, kiting them is easy. If you have any skill with Hexes, disabling them works just fine given their mediocre magic resistance. All they have going for them is brute melee strength. So long as you don't engage them in melee, you'll be fine (and if you're playing a brute melee character, don't be too worried; if you can slay a stone giant, you can slay an ettin).
