This lumbering creature carries an enormous club that he can swing with incredible force.

Ogres are one of the first big threats you will encounter. This is due to their high health, strong armor, and hard hitting attacks. Ogres move at normal speed but attack slowly. After every attack, the ogre will be "off balance," indicating that it will miss its next turn. At deeper depths ogres frequently accompany ogre shamans.

Tactics against[]

Ogres regenerate health more slowly than you, so if you can escape and rest up, the ogre may still be damaged when you find it again.

A rapier is an effective weapon against ogres due to their slow attack speed. After the ogre makes a successful attack it will be off balance, allowing you to move away from it. You can then move back towards the ogre to trigger the rapier's lunge attack which always hits and does triple damage.

Since ogres are best fought at a distance they are good candidate for damaging staves and cursed potions.

If confronted with an early ogre that you can't handle you have a few options.

Dive into a chasm to escape. Or ascend to a previous floor with a chasm and jump, if the ogre followed you upstairs then it will remain on the floor above.
Swim across water.
Lure it into a trap will cause damage or disable it.
If the ogre is sleeping, you can remove heavy armor or use a potion of invisibility to sneak around it. If you have a mace or war hammer you can also try to kill the ogre in one hit with a sneak attack.

As an ally[]

The ogre is an strong early ally, with high health and great damage output. However, because of its slow regeneration you may find yourself waiting for you ogre to heal. This makes transference a particularly valuable empowerment for an ogre to keep their health at a better level.

Also, they never lose their slow attack speed which makes them less effective than allies found later in the game, such as trolls and nagas.

-'''Ogres''' are represented by a red O. They can pose a great threat to low-level adventurers due to their high hit points, amazing ability to dodge attacks and damaging attack. They only attack every other turn.

+Ogres regenerate health more slowly than you, so if you can escape and rest up, the ogre may still be damaged when you find it again.
-Ogre is your first enemy that poses a danger even alone, not in packs. If you’ve got an ally ogre, you’re lucky. If not, prepare your fighting gear ([[chain mail]]+[[sword]] is usually enough). Ogre’s downside is low relative HP regeneration, so you can escape somehow, have a rest and face once again.
+A [[rapier]] is an effective weapon against ogres due to their slow attack speed. After the ogre makes a successful attack it will be off balance, allowing you to move away from it. You can then move back towards the ogre to trigger the rapier's lunge attack which always hits and does triple damage.
-If you have a [[rapier]] (even with 12 strength), equip it, then keep moving back and forth. Ordinary tactics will give you one ogre’s hit per 4 non-precise attacks, this one — one ogre’s hit per 3 precise ones. '''Don’t use this tactics on ordinary monsters unless you’re hasted!''' It exploits ogre’s slow attack.
+Since ogres are best fought at a distance they are good candidate for damaging staves and cursed potions.
-If confronted with an early ogre you have a few options.
-*Dive into a chasm to escape. The ogre will not follow, and the damage from the fall is only about one third of your hit points.
+If confronted with an early ogre that you can't handle you have a few options.
-*Swim across water. You may lose a few items to the current, but it is preferable to death.
+*Dive into a chasm to escape. Or ascend to a previous floor with a chasm and jump, if the ogre followed you upstairs then it will remain on the floor above.
-*Lure him into a trap.
+*Swim across water.
-*If the ogre is sleeping, become as [[stealth]]y as possible, and take a [[mace]] or [[War Hammer|war hammer]], even when you’ve got no strength. You’ll often kill the ogre in one hit. If the ogre awakes, switch to normal weapon.
+*Lure it into a trap will cause damage or disable it.
+*If the ogre is [[sleeping]], you can remove heavy armor or use a [[Potion of Invisibility|potion of invisibility]] to sneak around it. If you have a mace or war hammer you can also try to kill the ogre in one hit with a sneak attack.

-Ogre is an excellent ally, with high HP and great damage. But, with low relative HP regeneration, you will frequently wait until an ogre heals.
+Also, they never lose their slow attack speed which makes them less effective than allies found later in the game, such as [[troll]]s and [[Naga|nagas]].
