DAO - Nightmare: Ogre Boss

Gameplay: Dragon Age: Origins
Encounter: Ogre
Difficulty: Nightmare

A simple video showing the defeat of the first boss of Dragon Age: Origins on the highest difficulty setting.

It's a pretty simple fight, honestly. I did this encounter without using any of my stuns or the paralyze spell (was saving them in case someone got picked up by the Ogre) else the boss could've been beaten without using any pots.

For this encounter my main PC almost exclusively solo'd the boss, with the rest of my party members just auto attacking. I went dual wield warrior and activated both dual striking and momentum stances, using up all my reserve stamina but causing me to swing twice as fast and attack with both weapons on each swing. In addition to this, I put the acidic coating poison on my weapons and activated the flaming weapons ability on my mage, causing a constant stream of acid and fire damage to proc on my rapid auto attacks.

Again, simple fight, even on nightmare.

I always have everyone use ranged and run around when they get aggro when fighting this boss. At least that works on normal. It makes it so that you don't have to use potions.
