The Armored Ogre is one the toughest enemies faced in Orcs Must Die! 2. It boasts an impressive amount of health and will not flinch or become stunned by most attacks.
Strategy
The simplest method of stopping the Armored Ogre is by gaining control of it. This can be accomplished through the use of Spore Mushrooms. Alternately, freezing it with a weapon such as the Ice Amulet allows for the player to land multiple attacks on it.
Orcs Must Die! 2
In Orcs Must Die! 2 Armored Ogres cost 5 rift points and have 800 Health. They only appear in Nightmare and Endless Mode and are the second last enemy to be encountered in the game, with the last being the equally powerful Mountain Troll.
In this game Armored Ogres are vulnerable to explosive damage and so trap setups can be adjusted to exploit this weakness. Use the Bone Amulet for high damage. Dwarf grenadiers are the most effective guardians against this Mob, but archers upgraded with fire arrows are also effective.
