Talk:Ogre (Oblivion)

Tactics

An effective tactic in fighting Ogres is to undergo a constant strategic withdrawal. Ogres have a high endurance and a tough hide, but they are consequently very slow and easy to backpedal away from. Defeating them then requires ranged attacks with arrows or spells.

A second tactic that takes advatage of their slow reflexes is "darting"/ Darting is attacking with a melee weapon, and pausing for a half second before running backward for a few steps. This tactic may not work for those with a low athletics score. By attacking, pausing very briefly, and stepping backward, one can time the maneuver to avoid the slow smash the Ogre attempts. This works very well for faster characters, but when you do get hit, the blows are painful
