Cyclops

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

A cyclops (plural cyclopes) is a monster found on the top floor of the Warriors' Guild and some other places. In the Warriors' Guild, many players fight them in hopes of getting a defender, as they are the only monsters that drop them. Cyclopes come in two varieties in the guild: Level 56 and Level 76. They have low defence and a reasonably high number of hitpoints, making them a very good training monster. However, they are immune to ranged and magic. The level 56 cyclopes are the lowest level monster to drop level 3 Clue scrolls, although, they do not drop them often, the cyclops -2- in the Warriors Guild is the best for clue scrolls due to it being low leveled and having a higher drop rate than most. Many players bring runes for High Level Alchemy because cyclopes, especially the level 76s, drop Steel, Black, Mithril, and some Adamant items.

A Ring of Wealth does not appear to increase the chance of getting a defender, which is a rare drop. Several players have spent over 1500 tokens, and never seen one.

[edit] Location

The two main variations of cyclopes may be found in the Warriors' Guild. To get inside the Warriors' Guild, a player's Attack and Strength levels must add up to a sum of 130 or greater. In order to enter the Cyclops area, located on the second floor, a player must gain at least 100 Warriors' Guild Tokens. When inside the room, 10 tokens are used up every minute, and the player must leave when the tokens run out.

A single cyclops is caged in the Ardougne Zoo, but it does not drop defenders.

Level 81 cyclopes inhabit the God Wars Dungeon, but these too do not drop defenders.

[edit] Trivia

  • In Grim Tales, Sylas informs the player that he has a prized possession, the skull of a mutant cyclops with two eyes instead of one. The player suggests that he has a skull of a regular two-eyed giant, but he rejects this idea.
  • Many people believe "cyclops" means "one eye", but the word is actually derived from the Greek for "round eye". In the Greek legend, the Cyclops' single eye was indeed round. Greek is also the origin for the English plural of "cyclops": "cyclopes" [sigh-CLOE-peez], not "cyclopses". When you talk to Kamfreena outside the cyclopes' room in the Warriors' Guild, she will correct you when you say "cyclopses".
  • If you receive a slayer task to kill 'Hill Giants', it is possible to kill cyclops whilst lowering the kill count left and giving slayer experience.
