You mean the ogres? You barely need to fight any. The game lets you run past them and complete the quest any way.

What level are you and your pawns? I think those are Ogres. Kind of moves around like a giant gorilla? Tip. They go after women first.

It's also my understanding you can lure them away with meat. Haven't tried that yet.

Haha, yes indeed. That is the case. You must be careful and run if necessary. May your shoes never fail you.

Don't worry too much about the Ogres. There are three in total in the Ancient Quarry, and it are the only three that are required to be killed for a side quest. The rest are all optional.

There's another side quest I found that requires two Ogre kills. Though, it can be two Ogre kills at any time. Can't remember where I got it though. Might have come from a contract board at that pub in Gran Soren. Not sure. Hmm

That's a noticeboard quest, yes. I believe it's called Sister's in Distress and asks you to kill two Ogres near the Abbey. You don't have to kill those two Ogres near the Abbey, though; any will count for it.

Yeah, that's it. :D I came on those two by accident in the dark. I managed to win, but it was a nasty fight indeed. lol Thank goodness for group healing potions!

Climb up their back, slash the back of their neck, jump when he tries to grab you, eat stamina food when you are about to lose grip... gg

Ogres don't try to grab you off their back. They just jump and crush you as they land on their back.

Then say by-by to one of the best short cuts in the game.

Ogres are there as the games first real gear/level/strategy check. They move fast, they hit hard, and most of them are positioned in a place where you don't have much room to move around.

Best suggestion is to level up doing some side quests. The merchant request will remain there until you turn in the wyrmhunt quests. By level 25 or so you'll be in better position for fighting. Fire enchantments should be used when possible. When in doubt, take a detour to Cardassis and buy some throwblasts.

More like bye bye easy sour ambrosial meat. The short cut is good too, but that meat is way too yummy.

To deal with those trolls, have/be ranger with 10arrows skills (not the fanning one), grab all the stamina restoring mushrooms (regular and big), get fire enhancement, fire until almost out of stamina and inhale mushrooms, repeat until ogres are dead. If more than one show up, run!
