Ogre

A tough, slow brute found in caves and forests, wielding axes or pickaxes depending on its habitat.

Ogres are hostile brutes found in caves and forests. They are slow but hit hard, with significant knockback resistance that makes them difficult to keep at bay. Their weapon varies depending on where they spawn, giving forest and cave Ogres distinct visual identities.

Location

  • Found in Forest biomes (carrying an Axe).
  • Found in Underground/Caves (carrying a Pickaxe).
  • In other biomes, weapon type is random.

Behavior

  • Hostile -- Attacks players on sight within 16 blocks.
  • Delayed Attack -- The Ogre's attack animation takes 2.33 seconds with a 0.75 second hit delay. This gives you a brief window to dodge or block after seeing the windup.
  • Weapon Variants -- Forest Ogres wield Axes, Cave Ogres wield Pickaxes. The weapon is cosmetic and does not change damage.
  • Their slow speed (0.18) makes them easy to kite, but their knockback resistance means you cannot stunlock them.

Strategy

  • Kite them -- With only 0.18 speed, you can easily outrun an Ogre and land hit-and-run attacks.
  • Watch the windup -- The 2.33 second attack animation gives you time to dodge. Step back when you see the Ogre raise its weapon.
  • Shield blocking is effective since attacks are slow and predictable.
  • In caves, be careful of fighting near ledges -- their knockback resistance means they will keep pressing forward.

Drops

Dwarven Stone is a useful crafting ingredient that drops frequently from Ogres.
