Ogre Strategy Tips in DKS2

  • The easiest way to kill an Ogre is to bait out its fall-over attack. Move forward the ogre and immediately roll away when it attacks. If you're lucky it should swipe twice and fall over. During this fall over you can safely attack the Ogre with no threat. It isn't recommended to try and punish the 3-swipe combo, as the Ogre very will very quickly retaliate. The most important thing to watch out for is the grab attack, as it's extremely dangerous and is almost a guaranteed one-shot.
  • Alternatively, for a faster kill, you can try and bait out the sitting attack. Make sure that you have light armor equipped (Enough to be around 40%) and some weapon that has a pretty strong attack that it can execute relatively quickly. Now, approach the Ogre, roll UNDER the Ogre's attacks, and otherwise try to get behind the Ogre's back without getting hurt. Now, when you are behind the enemy, take out your weapon, and wait for him to try and sit on you; if he doesn't, get behind him and try again. In essence, you are trying to bait his sit attack. Once you have baited the Ogre's slam attack out, hit him. After performing this singular attack, stand behind the Ogre, and wait for him to use his move attempting to sit on you once more. You should be able to get in 3 or so safe hits per sit. Rinse and repeat until his swamp is yours.
  • As stated above, you want to either bait out an Ogre's 1-2 combo followed by its toppling over during which a swift 2 strikes can be dealt safely OR you attempt to get directly behind the Ogre causing its sitting attack, which is slow and easy to dodge and leaves a window for up to 3 safe hits. The sitting attack will continue to be repeated as long as you remain directly behind the Ogre, allowing easy kills even for low-level characters.
  • For Shrek & Fiona (The owners of the Transgender Coffin), it is simple. First, bait out one of the two Ogre Royals to the wooden tree bridge. Once you've gotten an Ogre on the bridge, keep them on it with aggro management, and try to get them to attack (without hitting you). Sooner or later, said Ogre will fall off the bridge. You can now kill the other Ogre with your weapon, or you can bait the fellow (whom is most certainly mourning the loss of their better half) over the bridge, allowing them to be buried with their lover.
  • Shrek and Fiona are also quite easy to kill with any sort of ranged weapon. This includes early access crossbows, bows, and throwing knives if you're patient enough. Simply backpedal across the bridge until they retreat while sending a continuous stream of projectiles at them.
  • 8 poison arrows from Dragonrider Bow +5 is enough to kill them in NG+.
  • The below video demonstrates how to bait the sit attack for a solo Ogre:

 

Dark Souls 2 Ogre Move Set

  • Swings three times
  • Swings two times and falls onto back, attempting to crush player
  • Falls onto its backside, if player is attacking from behind.
  • Grab attack: Grabs player and gnaws on head. Almost always insta-death due to its considerable affliction of the Bleed status effect.
  • Uppercut

      Only looked this enemy up for lore information, which was a waste of time, but it's entertaining reading people complain about a simple enemy. Couldn't be any simpler to fight. Seriously. The ones complaining just got punished after failing to dodge during a grab or for getting greedy, or both. This guy doesn't even have ranged attacks... He gives you 5 seconds of time to attack whenever he lays on the ground for you to kill him... My level 4 bastard sword is all i needed to kill him, you don't even need armour... Never get too comfortable with heavy armour, every enemy in the history of from software will punish you if it catches you in a grab... Don't get grabbed...

        I sure do love fast grab attacks with stupidly long reach that are guaranteed one-shots even if you're in full Havels! So fun! :)

          I'd argue these guys are more like Cyclopes than Ogres since they're one-eyed man-eating monstrous giants with a single horn on their head, but then again Ogres are usually big fat brutish monsters so I suppose It doesn't really matter that much

            Sure love fighting these thicc bastards in Aldia's Keep and being about to kill one safely, another one just barges in and instakills me at full health with that stupid grab

            Don't even find them that difficult
            Just damage spongey, but I've suffered a decent number of embarrassing deaths thanks to that stupid grab attack, instakill moves on mobs are just so Infuriating

              Roll to the right/left of their first attack and you'll dodge the rest just strafing. Once you get behind them, bait out the "sitting attack". During their down-time, attack them twice and stay behind them. So long as you repeat this cycle, you'll lock them into that attack over and over again.

                Is it just me or are some of them bigger in size? Like the one outside Aldia's Keep gate and one in Shrine of Amana.

                  just dont target lock em and they go from pretty tough to joke tier, they only appear to be fast if you fight them head on face to face. circling around these f**kers turns em into a total pushover, trust me

                    Died twice to this **** with his invicible frames with the "grab and munch on your head" attack. Demented game design. Saw him die after I get tapped out.

                      I have taken the opportunity to genocide the Ogres in the name of science, to get a better understanding of their drop tables. I was using the Traveling Merchant Hat and the Watchdragon Parma, for a total of 225 Item Discovery. For this experiment, 200 Ogres were killed, using the one that spawns near the Crestfallen's Retreat Bonfire. Drop results are as follows:
                      -30 Awestones (15% drop rate)
                      -42 Soul of a Proud Knight (21% drop rate)
                      -28 Titanite Shards (14% drop rate)

                      Total soul gain from this experiment: 86,000 souls in 3 hours, if we include the Proud Knight Souls.

                      Obviously, the Covenant of Champions is required for the sheer volume of Ogres required for this data. This experiment was done on a fresh game cycle, with no Bonfire Aesthetics.

                      In addition, I have discovered that Ogres have considerable damage resistance during their grab attack (~60-80%), and continues until their tail begins moving down as they stand up. This attack has a long forward reach, but can be easily strafed even without rolling.

                            If you are melee user then you can bait the sitting attack by going behind it. Lock-on them and move to the left then hit them with a quick and strong weapon like rapier.

                                  For Shrek & Fiona I was usually baiting them to the entrance cave, since they are tall they cannot go inside but stuck at the door trying to reach me then I was killing them with hit'n'run at first levels to get extra souls for the start xD

                                    Old Radiant Lifegem does not drop just in the Scholar of the First Sin edition. I just got an ORL from an Aldia Keep ogre in the original PC version. Im sure it's a rare drop though. First time I've seen it drop from one, but I am wearing a Coveteous Gold ring +1 so I am sure that helped.

                                      DONKEY (trailing after Shrek) Oh, you both have layers. Oh. {Sniffs} You know, not everybody likes onions. Cake! Everybody loves cakes! Cakes have layers. SHREK I don't care... what everyone likes. Ogres are not like cakes.

                                      • While farming Petrified Dragon Bones from the Acolytes in Aldia's Keep (I was wearing a Prisoner's Tatters, a Symbol of Avarice, and a Covetous Gold Serpent Ring +1, and I was also under the effects of the Rusted Coin), the three Ogres dropped a grand total of two Old Radiant Lifegems over the course of five or six (or seven?) runs. Not the regular Radiant Lifegems. I'm not sure if the inclusion of regular Radiant Lifegems is incorrect, or if the Old Radiant Lifegem drops are exclusive to Scholar. Also, the article makes mention of a video that does not appear. A mistake on someone's part? I'm willing to edit spelling, grammar, and Randomly Capitalized Letters, but not outright remove parts.

                                          Aldia's Keep: Go into the room that leads to the bonfire after aggroing one. Wait for it to be close enough to the door and attack. (Works especially well with the Great Sword (roll attack makes most DMG)

                                            Watch their grab attack because they possess mysterious force powers that can pull you into their hungry fists even if you are where you think it's "safe". TLDR: They grab you about half a roll beyond their actual hands.
