an undead cyclops  

I'm a level 35 shaman, and was talking with a level 34 druid when we decided to try and take this sucker on.

He resisted every snare, every malice, and almost every root, and the only thing he seemed to take without much complaining were DoTs. Took both me and the druid down to almost out of mana and almost out of life before the sucker bit the dust. Moral of the story: Buff up and be prepared to either melee hard or DoT.

Maybe this goes without saying, but I gave it a shot with my 29 Druid with 185 wisdom, and I could not solo him at all. He conned red. Could not ensnare or root. When I got just into enough range to cast combust, he was too quick and always interrupted my spell. If I stayed too far away, he was out of range. In short, I could do nothing to him but bring him down to about 2/3 health before I had to zone. Rrrrrrrrrrr...

I am a level 33 An Undead Cyclops on Bristlebane and I just wanted to say that you people should be ashamed of yourselves. Oh crap, here comes another pally...

an undead cyclopse is a giant
skelly WITH ONE EYE!!!!!!!!!

I was hunting aviaks this morning and clearing the yard trash. When I went to loot a rook, my screen went blank. At first I thought my PC screwed up, so I LDed and relogged. When I finally got back on, I went back to my character and took him into Norrath but when I came into the world, my screen went black again. Still thinking my PC was screwed, I repeated the process and decided to give it up for a while since it was patch day and I only had about 35 minutes left before I had to log. When I sat and thought about it, the only thing I could come up with was that I got hit with FoL. My question is this...does the undead cyclops cast? He was the only thing remotely nearby that I could remember. If not, I really don't know what to make of it. Any input would be appreciated.

I think he may be a miscon to an extent, I've had two lvl 33 Paladins, one human the other a dwarf and he's been to tough to solo alone both times and I've had to zone...it's probably different for druid or bards who have the ability to kite reasonably well and a variety of direct damage spells/songs at their choosing to solo this thing...it has to many hitpoints I feel to be soloed by a melee type until higher lvls...more likely lvls 38-42, unless the melee person is a pure warrior with a good weapon or weapons at his or her side.

could jus be me but me being a 29 bard and a 21 monk killed this thing last night. seemed to have very low hp and hit for 1-64.

this is no joke. i was goofing around one night in SK and this guy popped pretty close to me. so i decided, well i have have some serious undead ammo to hit this guy with. why not?

so i start off, the same way i always do solo. i lead with a nuke to get a feel for the damage i can do, MR and all that. heh, this guy proceeded to resist everything i hit him with. no idea why. just a tuffy i guess.

anyway, i start running at 2 bubs of health. thank Tunare for SOW. after i pull away far enough i start with the banish undeads again, then run again.

well, i finally killed him with under a bub of health, and OOM.

i loved it. i was bound in DL at the time so my hands were getting pretty sweaty amd my heart was pounding pretty fast. usually one root will stick, but none did. not one in the whole fight. he was one magic resistant POS that night. i never conned him, figuring he would just be green. but i got EXP for the kill.

just something to consider, if you ever fight him, i think the level 35 version, i am guessing that is what he was, might just be a lot tuffer than the other versions. man he laid the beat down on me hard and fast.

i was fully buffed, with around 1600hp and 740ish AC. level 45. the undead cyclops shouldn't have been that tuff. but he was.

I killed my first undead 'clops last night. By all rights, he should have killed me, but he didn't.

He kept breaking my pet's root and coming for me after I popped him with a second Blaze. He would pound on me; I'd back up; he would turn on the pet; and I would pop him again. Even when my health dropped below 10%, I backed up and he turned to the pet. It's very unusual for a mob to leave you alone once they smell blood, but he did. I wonder if they are unusually susceptible to a taunt? My pet, of course, taunts constantly, and somehow I survived when one more hit from the big bones would have killed me.

forgive me for being picky...but i thought cyclops were one eyed.......these guys have 2 eyesockets in the picture above

This thing resists magic like a madman, even hill/sand giants are easier to fear than this mob. I think the first time I killed him I was somewhere around level 40, he may have been green with experience then. After getting in his face, tanking and seeing how hard he hits I fired up chains and fear only to have both drop almost as soon as they came up. No problem, fire up selo's and take him for a run planting DoTs...nothing shakes up all those paw campers like some blue flash and a giant skeleton to come crashing through their spawn (don't worry, mobs HATE bard dots and they rarerly aggro anyone else unless they do some serious damage or taunting)

It cond white to me at 31 on the Povar server... Was a tough fight. Got me to 1 bub and it and my pet died at the same time =)

Ran across this guy last night while going to Aviak City. I am a level 39 Cleric, he conned blue, so I figured I would slay him and save the lower lvls some heart problems. HE RESISTED EVERYTHING!
I started with root, panic the dead, expel undead, all were resisted. I could not believe it.
Needless to say, he was mad then so thank God i had SOW. I ran out and tried to cast again with no luck, only resists.

If he is 35 or lower, he has an ungodly magic resist. Be careful with him.
