How to Beat Hollow Cyclops

Cyclops once ruled the mountaintops of Embervale until the Flame cursed them and banished them to the Hollow Halls during the reign of King Gormander.

Now a Hollow Cyclops waits at the end of four of the six Hollow Halls dungeons (the two Halls that opened with 1.0 name no boss in the files).

Sources: Enshrouded 1.0 game files (server build 1267041, 2026-10-15) for the damage shares, level, XP and party scaling in the 1.0 game-files block below; enshrouded.wiki.gg (pre-1.0) for the description, behaviour, drops and the wiki's map pins.

Strategy

In the 1.0 game files Hollow Cyclops takes extra damage from Blunt (150%) and Fire (120%), less from Cutting (80%), Piercing (60%), Ice (80%) and Shroud (60%), and is immune to Poison.

Punish the recovery after its Cleave and Stomp, leave marked ground before Hollow Eruption launches you, and keep the Reanimator adds off your back if you're deep in a Hollow Halls run.

  1. 1
    Travel to RevelwoodHollow Cyclops spawns in Revelwood, Nomad Highlands, Kindlewastes. Open the in-game map and fast-travel to the nearest fast-travel point in the region before approaching.
  2. 2
    Swap to Blunt or Fire damageHollow Cyclops takes increased damage from Blunt, Fire. Slot a weapon dealing one of those types as your primary — One-handed Clubs, Two-handed Clubs, Two-handed Hammers are the family fits.
  3. 3
    Drop Poison / Piercing / Shroud / Cutting / Ice from your loadoutHollow Cyclops resists Poison, Piercing, Shroud, Cutting, Ice damage — bringing those as your main weapon wastes the fight. Reserve them for a backup slot or replace entirely.
  4. 4
    Loot and check the wiki for variantsConfirm drops on the in-game corpse, then cross-reference the live wiki entry below for patch-specific changes and rarer variants we may not have re-scraped yet.
