Tips & Tricks
- When you see her cast a spell, try to use that information to determine which spell set she has. The two most dangerous are those that contain Crystal Spear and Banish; fortunately, they are fairly easy to identify. If she blinks, she definitely has one of those two spell sets; if she casts Haste or Invisibility, she definitely doesn't. When you first meet her, assume the worst and buff up your magic resistance.
- If you think she knows Banish, don't think you can simply swarm her with summons; Banish is smite-targeted.
- She has only modest HP and poor defenses. Hit her hard and she'll fall quickly, but be aware that she can have decent melee damage output if she's carrying a giant spiked club.
- Despite her description as an "especially cunning ogre-mage", she actually has considerably less HD than an actual ogre mage, and a generally less-dangerous spell set, since she lacks Haste Other. She does appear considerably earlier than normal ogre mages, though.
