Elder Ogre



 is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

Though the name impiles a weaker or more fragile Ogre, infact the opposite is true; the Elder Ogre is just as fast, quick, and powerful as their younger generation of ogres.

Unlike their younger cousins though, Elder Ogres are attracted to males instead of females. Male Arisen and pawns should be wary.

As a carrion-eater, Elder Ogres are attracted to the presence of corpses and thus can appear after or during certain battles in which dead bodies are present. The arrival of an Elder Ogre is signaled by a sepia tone filter, a brief time slow effect, and a long chime sound (somewhat similar to the arrival of Death).

Dropping Rancid Bait Meat can attract an Elder Ogre.



Information and Stats
Elder Ogres are hardy creatures, and sport large amounts of health and high defense to many elements. They are resistant to fire and holy, while being vulnerable to ice, dark, and particularly lightning. It is recommended that you have access to at least one of these elements as Elder Ogres possess a high tolerance for physical damage as well. It will grow into a frenzy if it see's a male within the party. As soon as it drops to about three health bars, it'll automatically frenzy.

Tactics

 * Unlike the regular Ogre, Fire does not work effectively. Lightning attributed attacks are most effective out of all of the elements. Yet, like the regular Ogre, Sleep works very well. It is also prone to attacks that have a high stagger rate.
 * Generally physical attacks would not work as effectively as magick attacks, but one can tinker with different combos of physical and magickal attacks.
 * Ricochet Hunter in a small room can be devastating to the Elder Ogre. (Confirmed, at 1912 magic attack, an Elder Ogre can fall in about 15 to 20 seconds with Ricochet Hunter)
 * As an added bonus with Ricochet Hunter, Elder Ogres can and usually will be stunlocked, and even fall to the ground (lowering their defense for Ricochet Hunter to deal even more damage.)
 * Blast Arrow come in handy for 3 ranger classes against it.

Locations

 * Like all necrophagous creatures in Bitterblack Isle the same rules apply; the deeper and lower you travel and the more corpses laying about the more likely the Elder Ogre or any other creature will spawn.


 * Placing a Rancid Bait Meat on the bridge in Fortress of Rememberance, where you first see death, is very likely to spawn a Elder Ogre.

Rewards
