How to Tame the Giants of the Plains Using Your Wits

In the vast Asteria Plains, ogres pose an overwhelming threat. New adventurers often fall into despair when they face these monstrous creatures, whose hammers can shatter rock, and whose charge rivals the speed of warhorses. To make matters worse, they destroy anything in their path without hesitation.

However, seasoned adventurers know that the ogre's greatest weakness lies in its uncontrollable rage. Here's how to handle them:

Lead Them to Goblins
Ogres may believe they are the undisputed rulers of the plains, but the agile goblins have a talent for fooling them. All you need to do is don a goblin pelt, grab the ogre's attention, and lead it to a goblin camp. Enraged, the ogre will immediately turn on the goblins and begin smashing them. That's when you strike. Unleash your ice arrows and spears from behind.

Use Meat and Gunpowder
Place a barrel of salted meat in a narrow tunnel. When the ogre charges in, light the gunpowder. The ogre, driven by hunger, will be focused entirely on the meat, unaware of the danger above. Once the flaming beams fall, you know what to do next.

Roar Back
A key trick is to mimic the ogre's own roar. When it charges with a deep, guttural growl, respond with an even louder shout: "Dragon dung! " The ogre will pause, confused by the unexpected words. That moment of hesitation gives you the precious chance to escape.

Next time you face one of these berserk giants, forget the sword, and instead, wear a sly smile.
