lvl 6 orge
lvl 6 orge
Hi any help how to fight the orge in lvl 6? i tried my tactics to hit and move to the side square but the orge always hits me before i move. He kills me in three hits. Thanks.
Re: lvl 6 orge
Don't stay in front of him while attacking with everyone. Get one or two hits off and then get the heck out of the way.
If you have a mage with ice or frost bombs you can use that to freeze him up.
if he gets to much you can run away and find a closable room to rest up he will not heal while you do.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Re: lvl 6 orge
it can take allot of time, but i suggest using ranged weapons if you have them, and running as far away as possible after hitting him if your using close up attacks. Ice bombs are really useful if you have them too, because while they effect him he cant attack and you can attack. most importantly always keep on the move no matter what. staying in one place will get you killed against ogres. My first ogre took several tries to beat, so don't get discouraged. =) best of luck
Re: lvl 6 orge
Despite his size and ponderous visage, ogres are quite fast and they can attack to their flanks as well as the square in front of them.
To fight them effectively using 4 square dance, Swing as the ogre is moving.
It takes 2.5 steps for him to finish his move. Swing once after his first step is completed (otherwise he will be considered on the previous tile and you will miss) and then move immediately.
Don't be greedy and take unnecessary chances.
Or alternatively, you can get him to charge you, pepper him with arrows and magic, sidestep and get in a swing or two as he thunders past

Re: lvl 6 orge
If fighting in melee:
It's not safe to step in to the ogre's side to attack (he will hit you with a roundabout attack before you will have a chance to move back).
It's totally safe to wait for him to move and attack as he enters the new square, then move away.
It's probably faster to find a 4-square-long room and let him charge then attack his back while he recovers.

Re: lvl 6 orge
I did it this way:
There's a grate left of the stairs (NW of it). Lure the orge in front of it and close it from the other side.
Open the door and when it's about 80% open, start to attack 2-3 times, then close it immediately.
Repeat this until the orge dies. It takes a little bit of time to get the feeling when to start hitting but it's a very good way to get rid of most of the monsters.
+ doing this gives you a good chance that the orge doesn't attack at all while you open the gate and have the chance to take 2 or 3 good blows ( the more dextery you have the more likely you'll hit, the more likely the orge will not retaliate)
+ if you get hit, just rest or make potions, you are save behind the grate
- it may take a little bit longer then killing it on the open field

Re: lvl 6 orge
The ogre was so easy. Wait until he screams, he will run then into your direction. Let him pass, follow him throwing ranged stuff and hit him in the back 1-2 times. Repeat this x-times and you will mostly not even get hit.

Get in front of him, a few spaces away. Sidestep as he starts to charge, then hit him as he goes past. If you're by the wall he crashes into, you can hit him in the back. Back up and he'll charge again. Repeat until he's dead. You should be able to kill him without ever taking a hit.

that's how I did it - and I only had one member of my team left alive when I attempted it - a rogue (the rest had been killed just beforeEmpyrean wrote:Ogre.orge

). Didn't take a single hit; took a while to take him down, though! I kept to a 3x2 area, and was lucky enough to have backstab to help.edit: corrected 6x6 area to 3x2 area

Welcome back brave adventurers.
It is too bad you did not discover the true secret of the firestaff. Now that I have it I have no further need for you.

You'll probably want to do more than just him him. I recommend hitting.Empyrean wrote:Ogre.orge
