How to Beat the Ogre in Marauder Cave

Defeat Ogre

[1] Inflict Sleep, Blind, and Attack Down.

Marauder Debrave

Despite having a lot of status ailment immunities, The Marauder is still weak to three key status ailments: Sleep, Blind, and Attack Down.

If you are fighting the Marauder early in the game, you may have limited options with how to cast these. You may cast Sleep through the Siren Esper, Blind with Tronn's Vision Ability, and Attack Down with Cloud's Vision Ability Debrave.

[2] Use Wind-type Attacks.

Siren Esper

The Marauder is weak to Wind, so use Wind-type attacks to deal extra damage. Additionally, you will be able to increase his Stagger gauge and your Limit Break gauge faster!

[3] Aim to Stagger.

Stagger Ogre

Dealing enough damage staggers the Marauder and momentarily stuns him. Since the Marauder deals tons of damage, especially to those underlevelled, it is a must that you interrupt his attacks every chance you get.

[4] Use Protect.

Protect Ogre

Use Protect to reduce physical damage on certain characters. Since all of the Marauder's attacks are physical, this is the best defensive spell you can use against him.

Protect is a spell that Rain can use once he reaches Level 9. The Warrior of Light can also grant its user the ability to use Protect.

Ogre Rewards

The Marauder drops:

  • Turbo Ether
  • EXP x 500
  • Gil x 750
  • MRP x 30
