Useful Info
An ettin is basically a somewhat squishier stone giant that hits twice. They usually dual wield dire flails or great maces (sometimes branded), which allows them to hit for massive damage. They can be found in the deepest portions of the Dungeon, the Orcish Mines, the Depths, and the Vaults.
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.
- Many 'tricks' work well against ettins. They have low willpower, so all sorts of Hexes and Evocations are good against them. They aren't resistant to poison, so throwing a curare dart allows you to kite, fight, or escape in relative safety.
- Tukima's Dance works especially well on ettins.
- Still, you should always respect ettins as threats - they can deal up to 128 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.
