Useful Info

Strategy

Strong melee characters can generally take them one on one, though you may want to haste or berserk yourself if that's available. Conjurers should use their most powerful conjurations, since titans' low EV makes them easy targets. As they have only one attack, titans are also relatively easy to overwhelm with reasonably powerful summons. Just make sure to prioritize titans over almost any other monster in sight: think orc priests but worse.

Whatever means you choose of disposing of them, make sure it works quickly -- they can deal out a lot of damage per turn, and they don't need a clear line of sight to do so.

Tips & Tricks

  • 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.
  • If you are flying, stop doing so: Airstrike deals 50% more damage if you are. This applies particularly to tengu, as well as to mages who keep spells up constantly.
  • Their evasion score is 3. If you've got it, Bolt of Inaccuracy can deal heavy damage to them and anything else that happens to be in the line of fire.
