Ogre in second wilderness area

TiliaLyn · 06-23-2005, 08:13 AM

Okay - I've only had BG for a day or so, but I cannot get past this Ogre. I've died 5 times now and am near pulling out my hair - any secret strategies?

arrows, load up your bows and arrows and if there are more than 1 in your party, split up, so that when he chases one, the others can still fire uninterrupted. (BTW your party members move faster than the ogre, so set up your killing zones and lead him around while you pelt him to death.

okay - I guess I'm still a bit new at the directing party members. If I direct one to move, that is the only thing it can do that round - yes? Or can I tell direct it to move and then direct it to attack?

You aren't restricted to one action per round, certainly not when it comes to walking around. Only when you attack someone the rounds come into action. Ergo: you can very well tell your character to run away and shoot from a safe distance (the "Haste"-spell works wonderfully in this situation!)

Great - will have to try that during my lunch break!

don't forget the all important space-bar pausing the game can give you those precious extra seconds to fire a shot or two before turning and running again.

If you get Jaheira first you can try entangle spell.

And spacebar is your friend. You might want to practice micromanaging using spacebar now. In later battles it will be very essential.

Thanks ZFR - should I venture on to Friendly Arms before I attempt to tackle the Ogre at lunch time?

Kyrvias · 06-23-2005, 08:16 PM

that would be a nice idea, with monty and Xzar, you won't get very far...

That rhymed!!!!

There's no problem picking up Jahi and Khalid with Monty and Xzar, it's only when they stay together for any length of time that problems arise. (at least other than dialog)
