Ogre

Club impacts and vile slime hurling

In the second tier of the Old One's Army event, unlocked after defeating at least one mechanical boss, the Ogre steps through the etherian portals during Waves 4, 5, and 6. This lumbering brute serves as the siege anchor of the invasion, marching into combat with 13,000 life in Classic, scaling to 26,000 in Expert and 33,150 in Master mode, protected by 40 defense. Colliding with his muscular frame inflicts 90 contact damage in Classic, climbing to 180 in Expert and 270 in Master.

His attacks emphasize brute kinetic devastation. When engaging at close quarters, he raises a formidable wooden club and smashes it into the earth, pulverizing targets in front of him. At distance, he hurls globs of sticky mucous that inflict the debilitating Oozed debuff, crippling player movement speed and ground traction. He also executes high leaps, crashing down to generate wide shockwaves that send defenders flying.

Jumping clear of the heavy ground shockwave

Engaging the Ogre directly on floor level poses serious hazards to both the defender and the Eternia Crystal. His downward club slams and ground stomps radiate substantial shockwave damage across flat dirt. Building a tier of wooden platforms 15 blocks above the path allows you to rain attacks down upon his head while remaining outside the reach of his melee swings.

His ranged mucous toss is the main threat to aerial positioning. Because the resulting Oozed debuff cannot be neutralized by the Ankh Shield, getting struck leaves you temporarily unable to sprint. If hit by mucous, firing a grappling hook toward an overhead platform bypasses the speed penalty completely, pulling you to safety before his jumping stomp lands. Dedicated single-target weapons like the Megashark or Dart Rifle shred his health pool while your sentries manage the advancing goblin infantry.

Relics of the etherian vanguard

Defeating the Ogre yields specialized equipment tailored for hybrid playstyles. Melee fighters prize the Brand of the Inferno (5% drop rate), a broadsword that allows manual guarding when paired with a shield accessory to trigger heavy counter-attack damage. Mages acquire the Tome of Infinite Wisdom (5%), casting piercing tornadoes along the ground, while rangers receive the Phantom Phoenix (5%), firing phantom firebirds.

Other class armaments include the Sleepy Octopod (5%) and Ghastly Glaive (5%). Summoners seek the Huntress's Buckler (8.33%) and Monk's Belt (8.33%) to raise sentry capacity, supplemented by the placeable War Table (12.5%). Players can also hatch the Creeper Egg (10%) pet. Master mode worlds offer the rideable Ogre's Club (25%), the Ogre Relic (100%), the Ogre Trophy (10%), and the Ogre Mask (7.14%).

Trivia

• The Oozed debuff inflicted by the Ogre's projectile cannot be nullified by equipping an Ankh Shield.
