Useful Info

Titans are the deadliest of the common giants, landing devastating blows in melee and blasting you at range with powerful Air Magic. They occasionally spawn in the Depths, and are almost always found on the bottom floor of the Vaults.

Spells

Spell set I
Slot1 Lightning Bolt (3d24) Wizard flag
Slot2 Minor Healing (2d10+3) Wizard flag
Slot3 Airstrike (2d(18-34)) Wizard flag

Tips & Tricks

  • First and foremost, don't engage them while flying; their Airstrike spell deals an extra 50% damage to flying characters. To deal with their other spells, have electricity resistance and avoid standing in a place that makes multizaps possible.
  • Strong melee characters can generally take them out one-on-one, though you may want to haste or might yourself if that's available. Berserk works great if you know the titan is alone, but often they will appear in areas where monsters will quite often appear at the edge of your line of sight at inopportune times.
  • Conjurers should use their most powerful non-electric Conjurations, as a titan's low EV makes them easy targets. Even Bolt of Inaccuracy has a decent chance of hitting them. As they have only one attack, titans are also relatively easy to overwhelm with reasonably powerful summons.
  • Don't bother with Mephitic Cloud -- their high HD means that there is only a 1/11 chance they will be affected per turn, generally letting them walk out unconfused. Other types of poison are quite effective, though.
