Eastern Invasion: How to hunt for ogger?

Post by hochbass »

What a special thing. These oggers drive me crazy.

If I attack - the oggers will dye.
If I do not attack they kill my white mage or the dragoner.
And third when I hold distance they escape to the mountains.

You still win if they escape/are killed. You don't need the ogres. (Some think they're not useful at all. I'm trying to change that).

The ogres are ok as a defensive or fast unit on mountains

Maybe they should level up faster or so, they did so fast in the beginning, it seems to me. or maybe that is the campaign.

I successfully hunted the ogres. The correct inital positioning is logical, and then you need a little luck not to get hit too much

I usually kill them for XP.

They are cheap bastards who actually fight fairly well in caves. I love ogres.

They´re much better when they are advanced...
Maybe I´m stupid but I don´t use them very intensive :irritated:

no one here seems to be answering the question, so:
I believe that to win the scenario & get the ogres, all three don't need to survive. In any case, on the version I did them on it was possible to surround them, and then wait it out. If you weaken them, I don't think they attack as often, so that is also an option.
If I'm wrong, at least people will correct me, and then actually provide an answer to you question, Hochbass.

As far as i remember you don't need to keep all of them from escaping. One should be sufficient. And yes, your units have to take some hits. It's not easy but possible (at least the last time i did this).

I tried to kill one or two of them fast, taking as low damage as possible, and then controll the last one without killing him. It involves some luck and retries as the white mage is quite weak and usually dies, but it worked for me

easy ogres

Post by apieceofcake »

what i did is to lure them is a roundabout with my white mage healing the injured.. of cos i position in a way that only one of them can hit me at a single time.. i managed to tame the ogres in the second try.

you can defeat the ogres by reducing them under 5 LP
then control them so they can't run away
