Cyclops

How to beat: Cyclops

Move aside when a cyclops charges, because none of its punches or slaps can be parried or blocked, and a short hop back may not take you out of reach. Roll to the side or behind it to reach its flanks, and never stand still, as it rarely flinches no matter how many hits it takes. When it raises both hands, get away from its front before the ground-pound. At range it can leap at you or start a wild rush that changes direction to follow your roll, so stay alert. Coat your silver sword with Ogroid oil, use Axii to confuse it for a moment, Yrden to get more hits in, and above all Quen, which is your best protection.
