The Ogre is the first mini-boss encountered in the game. The creature is difficult to take down because of its large amount of health. The Ogre hits very hard with his club and uses Poison Breath at range. If the difficulty is set to Insane or lower, the Ogre will never have an elemental affinity. However, on Nightmare mode, Ogre's always are elementally attuned (Needs confirmation).
The Ogre first appears in the second level, Foundries and Forges, where it spawns from the left door on the northern (middle) side of the map during the final wave.
On later levels and higher difficulties, yellow Ogres start appearing in later waves. These yellow Ogres are much more resilient and will run through defences that could easily hold a blue Ogre back if left unmanaged.
When the Ogre slams down his club, a shockwave will spread from the impact point, causing damage and knockback.
With enough speed, it is possible to kite the Ogre indefinitely by staying just outside of its melee range while it is targeting you. This protects the defenses and allows teammates to more easily attack the Ogre without getting hit.
If the Ogre takes a significant amount of damage in a short period of time OR once it drops below a certain remaining HP% (untested), it will stagger backwards, right itself, below, and then continue to move or attack. This gives a useful break in which to reposition oneself to continue the assault.
It has been noted that powerful Ogres will often shrug off negative effects of towers; that is, they will not be stunned by high-level lightning towers, be unaffected by gas traps, etc.
There are two challenges where the central focus is the Ogre. In Ogre Crush, the party must defend the Eternia Crystals from waves of Ogres exclusively, with each wave containing progressively stronger Ogres. In Unlikely Allies, the Eternia Crystal is substituted with an Ogre that the party must protect.
