txmimi Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 OK, I'm in the caverns where the blue ore is and am working to destroy all the ogres. I keep drowning in the area where the ogres trap my guys. I'm sure I'm overlooking some obvious way to avoid drowning. . . no matter how well we fight, the water gets us before we kill all the ogres.

Randomizer Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 First use a item(s) to gain extra action points so you can move farther and get extra hits. Don't hoard items since you found out the hard way what happens if you take too long. It also helps if you avoid engaging the ogres right away and try to get as far as you can on the first few rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txmimi Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Extra action points? I don't know what those are. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomizer Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 You have a base 9 action points a round, but speed potions/elixirs/scrolls can increase the number of action points for a few rounds so you can move farther and do more actions per round.

Kreador Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 You need to haste your party. Speed potions, battle crystals, etc. It's been a while since I've been through Avadon so I don't remember all of the available options. Action Points are a measure of how much your character can do in a round. An attack takes 9 action points (usually). Moving one space takes 1, unless an opponent is next to you (in which case it takes more, but I don't recall the exact number). So, move several spaces forward before attacking or move one space if you're already near an enemy. Use teleportation if you can to move past the first line of enemies. Just keep moving forward.

txmimi Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 OK, thanks. . . I'll give it another try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txmimi Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 OK, I figured out how to speed up, so I was able to get through the ogre lair. I went back to the dragon and he was pleased that they're all gone. But the quest still shows up in my journal. . . is there something more I should do? I just re-read the FAQs and found the answer to this. Also, I got the blue ore, but the guy says it's not enough. When I was getting it in the caverns, it always said miners were needed to get lots. Does this come up again later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomizer Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 There are more places than needed, but I think you need six blue ore to finish. Just check all the pillars underground in that zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerakeen Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 You only need 5. One pillar is now inaccessible to you, but there are 6 others. If you can't find them all, check the map linked to from the FAQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
