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.

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 and the Eldritch Ettin causes their linked Enchanted Shields to vanish without ever having to fight them (the Enchanted Scythes will remain, however).
 * 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 dangerous as his attacks does about 300 dmg to casters and a bit less of 200 to warriors. Bringing a Necromancer with Enfeeble can shut down his damage range to 50-60 damage.

Trivia

 * His name may be inspired by a Diablo II boss, Eldritch the Rectifier.
