In Romestead, rebuilding a broken-down Rome after a day 0f of a zombie apocalypse requires completing main quests. These quests often require defeating powerful bosses for their prized loot. The Granite Tooth, in particular, is a notable example, as players must defeat one of the game’s most powerful enemies to get it! With that, here’s what you should know about this must-have loot, including its location and primary use.

Romestead Granite Tooth Guide: Location, How to Get, & All Unlocks

The Granite Tooth is a guaranteed item dropped by the Cyclops upon its defeat. Find this boss in a dungeon in the Desert biome, which is generally south of the Plains past the Forest. Players should be advised to be well-prepared before engaging in this boss fight, as it’s a multi-phase combat that requires quick thinking and strategic strikes to win each round. It also serves as a skill check, as the fight has some mechanics that you should have learned through your playthrough before reaching this point. For example, the boss’s first phase demands players to throw a bomb into the Cyclops’s eye. Do so by waiting for a creature with an explosive pot on its head to spawn. Defeat it, and immediately chuck the bomb into the eye. You only have a few seconds to do so, as the creature spawns with the bomb’s wick ignited. Tip: If you're struggling with this mighty boss, request help from other players in a Romestead server to designate roles when battling the Cyclops.
