Talk:Gorecyclops (Condemned)/@comment-1398365-20130607052036

I found the Great Gamble with Dragon Longbow to be pretty effective against this guy. What I would do is Knock off the mask before it gets free then Great Gamble him in the eye while still chained as an Opener. In fact doing this out of the gate will actually Knocks off four five of his health bars off making the fight alot faster since it reduces its health by nearly half (which on a side note, makes me speculate that it takes more damge while chained).

But after you do this it get's free almost immediatly, at the point what i do is instead of camping on a wood bridge, I stay on on one of the stone cliff, if ya stay on a bridge pawns tend fall to there death wether be from the fall or the mauling they get if they survive. If your the kinda gamer who dosen't give a shit about losing pawns though then go right ahead, though the cyclops tend to step under the bridge when hopelessly trying to attack you making getting a shot impposible till you move. Make sure your not too high up though since you won't get a clean shot, but not so low as too where he can hit ya. I noticed that it has a habit of breaking of his onslaught and reaching for it head as if too something off even if nothing is there. This is the perfect time too let loose you a gamble as it looks up after doing it, leaving it's eye exposed.

It's best if it focuses on you, the pawns often distract it from you though, if this happens a simple tactic is too just pelt arrows at his head until you get his attention again. now the Great Gamble I noticed does alot less Damge when it gets free, only about two-thirds of a life bar if hit in the eye, but it still cuts the time it takes to beat it in half if done correctly. Hope this makes sense. Sorry for spelling and grammar errors.
