Defeat the Ogre
Wham! There's a Ogre, coming straight at you through the big doors as you try to leave the previous area.

This is probably the toughest fight yet. Not only do you have the Ogre to deal with - which is a more mobile, feisty big monster than the Trolls you've been battling so far - there are several Reavers around the battlefield too..

The first thing to make sure you do is stay mobile. Start by taking out the Reavers - stunning one with an axe throw then rushing in to finish is a good way to pick them off one by one - to give yourself some space, but do so whilst staying constantly on the move so as to avoid the Ogre itself.

Once they're a little thinned out, turn your attention to the Ogre. Here, the same rules apply as with Trolls. Distraction, a few whacks, then back off. It has a few different attacks: a ground smash, a flurry of big swingining punches, and some general punches - but generally they're all quite well-telegraphed and easy enough to dodge. Just don't get caught in that flurry of punches in particular.

When you've bludgeoned it down to low enough health, an R3 prompt will appear - but this time it'll take you up onto the Ogre's back, rather than straight into a finisher quick-time-event.

When you're up there, steer the Ogre around and use the shoulder buttons to smash some of the other enemies away - a few more will have spawned by now - and soon enough the best will go down for a count.

A Rare Enchantment - the Symbol of Truth - will pop out when you take it down, along with a Legendary Frozen Flame item for upgrading your axe, and some other assorted goodies, plus the usual things like a new Labour for killing Ogres, too.
