Eldritch Ettin

Description
Eldritch Ettin is a warrior boss found at the end of the 3rd level of the Bloodstone Caves. He has his own entourage of 2 First Inscribed boss-like foes. Each of the three are flocked with Enchanted Shields and Enchanted Scythes. This makes the group difficult to take down, and often takes a long time to do so. Thankfully a respawn point is within a 20 second running distance from the bloodstone that they all inhabit.

Items Dropped

 * Ettin Club (unique)

Tips

 * The seemingly best approach is to draw both of the First Inscribed foes away from the rest of the group and eliminate them separately.
 * Killing the First Inscribed causes their linked Enchanted Shields to vanish without ever having to fight them. Killing the Eldritch Ettin will also cause all the Enchanted Scythes to vanish.
 * A locked chest, along with one that comes as a reward after slaying the bosses, is on the frozen lake, so a lockpick would be a good idea to have in one's inventory.
 * This boss is very powerful, doing around 300 damage to casters. Bringing any form of Weakness can be extremely useful, for example by using Enfeeble.
