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

The ogre attacks slowly.

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.

At deeper depths ogres frequently accompany Ogre Shamans.

Tactics against

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.

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.

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.
  • Swim across water. You may lose a few items to the current, but it is preferable to death.
  • Lure him into a trap.
  • If the ogre is sleeping, become as stealthy as possible, and take a mace or war hammer, even when you’ve got no strength. If the plan succeeds, you’ll often kill the ogre in one hit. If the ogre awakes, find another way to kill him (but don’t forget to put on your daily equipment!)

As an ally

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.
