The Titan is a huge spellcasting giant: over 500 Strength, 320–350 hit points and near-grandmaster Magery. It's one of the few giants that fights mainly with magic.
Overview
- In-game name: a titan
- Corpse: a titans corpse
- Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights like a spellcaster (mage AI), mixing spells with melee.
- Corpse oddity: its corpse is named "a titans corpse" (no apostrophe).

Abilities
Magic
It fights with the mage AI: it closes to melee range but casts between swings. Its Magery is 85.1–100.0 and its Evaluating Intelligence 85.1–100.0.
- Damage spells: Magic Arrow, Harm, Fireball, Lightning, Mind Blast, Energy Bolt, Explosion and Flame Strike.
- Other spells: about 1 cast in 8 is Poison (only if you aren't poisoned already). It may also Bless itself, curse you (Weaken, Clumsy, Feeblemind or Curse), drain your mana (Mana Drain or Mana Vampire) or Paralyze you.
- Healing: it cures itself when poisoned, and sometimes heals itself (Greater Heal when badly hurt), more often the higher its Magery.
- Dispel: with 281+ Intelligence it can cast Dispel on your summoned creatures (more reliably the higher its Magery).
Poison immunity
It is immune to poison up to Regular (Lesser, Regular). Only stronger poison affects it.
Loot
Every titan carries:
- Gold: about 462–800 in total (from its "Filthy Rich" and "Average" loot)
- 1 magic scroll from circles 4–7. With Necromancy enabled on New Bradford, necromancy scrolls can show up too.
It may also carry:
- A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 7 chances, from about 33% down to 0.5% each)
- A musical instrument (about 2.4% or less)
- A level 5 treasure map (1% chance)
Carving
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
- 4 raw ribs
Location
- The Deceit brazier: double-clicking it from within 2 tiles summons one creature picked at random from a list of about 90, and this is one of them. The brazier warns players who step next to it ("Heed this warning well, and use this brazier at your own peril"). It works once every 15 minutes and places the creature within 5 tiles. The summoned creature is set to attack the closest target, even if it would normally leave you alone, and it stays within 5 tiles of the brazier.
Tips
- It casts up to Flame Strike and Explosion with 85–100 Magery, so magic resistance and a good supply of heal potions help.
- It's immune to Regular poison and weaker, so only Greater or stronger poison works on it.
- Its loot is good for its level: Filthy Rich plus Average loot, a circle 4–7 scroll and a 1% chance at a level 5 treasure map.
- Carve it for 4 raw ribs.
