an undead cyclops  

I found this article on Project 1999...
https://wiki.project1999.com/An_Undead_Cyclops

I'm not 100% sold on the coordinates either there or here, but I can say that they may have been on to something regarding the various elephants as placeholders.
It was impossible to not run into this NPC while hunting elephants for my alt's ancestral armor quest (three alts did this actually), usually wandering in by the hermit hut.
But, no sign of it or the other cyclops anywhere in the zone for hours searching with my main.

Sure enough, after the first few elephants went down, the cyclops (the live one) finally showed up on the edge of my view north of the hermit hut and I caught up with him up by the gnolls. On a later attempt, I saw him wandering in from the aviarks, south of the hermit hut, near the coordinates given for the spawn of the undead one above. It stands to reason that the live one is the immediate placeholder for the undead one. In my case, after a little bit (10 min maybe, I wasn't counting) I finally caught the undead one by the aviarks.

So, my suggestions for anyone hunting this NPC:
1) Work in a triangle between aviarks, gnolls, and hermit hut.
2) Kill every elephant you see, and if you run out start dropping lions (definite placeholder for elephants, based on past experience).
3) The live cyclops will spawn first (again, appears to path by the hut), then you should expect to see the undead one (probably at or near the aviarks) a few minutes later.

His skull is used for make ale ...and for the Ro armor quests...lookup Thomas in thr rathe Mnts.

Was screwin around at KFC Chicken, err, Aviaks, and he came wandering by... Lvl 28 Wizard, just self buffs other than sow >> Undead Cyclops. Conned red, nuked the **** outta it, no problem with landing spells other than the occasional root resist. Easy: Leatherskin, shielding, pull with lighting bolt, nuke with Frost Shock, root, Nuke, root, repeat, rinse, dry... dead Undead Cyclops, not overly hard, and ****** xp. I'd say roughly 1200hp from dmg done on nukes, didn't regen overly fast while engaged in combat. See ya around.

Suddenly I'm glad my other Druid buddies lost this guy while we were camping gnolls if he resists that bad for strong players. My question is about mental spell resistance. I known certain spells such as mesmerizes, fears, and stuns dont work on some giant kin but what about the druid spell Sunbeam, which I don't know if it could be called a mesmerization or what or if it even works on undead, but could it take and confuse him or would it just slide off.

I was hunting the treants as a 31 Mage with a 31 Monk and a 24 necro and a 25 Shaman. We turned around and it was there. It conned yellow to me and we were full mana and full health and went after it. It took all of my mana and a few minutes but we took it out. I looted a long sword of some type and the skull. Nice xp too.

.....undead...sure Cyclops... No Last I checked Cyclops loosely translated into english means 'one eye' and that big ol nasty has 2 holes, eye holes for you gutter minds ;) Guess they just couldn't get the right graphic or one that worked, oh well what the spell long as he falls like the rest

The only reason I need one of these skulls is for making Skull Ale (for the character I'm currently playing most), and the recipe says that you get the cyclops skull back on success or failure of the brewing attempt. I don't know if that means you get the skull back as an ale, though. Does anyone know if you only need one skull for as many concoctions of ale that you're planning on making or does it use up the skull each time you make the stuff?

I'm not sure what his complete path is, but I spotted him circling the Aviak Village while talking to some friends. I'm not sure if he has a fixed path or just wanders aimlessly (like I do).

My broyher on the brist sever is right,for shame i mean im dead big and ugly cant u just leave me alone,oh what good necro u want apiece of spine i dont think so,ohhhhh no apaldin in diguise ,run.

It IS just a skelly model enlarged. What a jip. However, perhaps a cyclopses uni-eye was created when a yellow giant angered a necro/chanter and the necro/chanter put a curse to fuse it's eyes together, however, not touching his skeleton! Just a thought.

Hehe I think now that I am 51 I should explore the places I never been what ya think...

This giant...seems like one of the few mobs that will fall before me

A full group of low to mid 20's took this big ol skellie out without a problem...we were camping a spire as he strolled past so we figured why not?

twas just a good ol fashioned hack and bash.
