Mechanized Golems Grab a shield, particularly a durable shield, and block the golems blows. It takes some skill to recover from the blow and dish out your own, but it's possible to go head-to-head and not take damage. Alternatively, you can use ranged weapons while running away. Keep your distance from the beast and pummel it with shuriken; collision or force shuriken work well, as they can keep the golem back a little longer. Carnivorous Plants The carnivorous plants you find throughout the swamps are some of the easiest experience points you'll come across. Don't waste ranged weapons. Instead, equip an indestructible weapon (or weapon you don't mind damaging somewhat) and approach just within range - not of the plant but of your weapon. Attack with your weapon, but stay out of range of the planet's bite. You can defeat the plants without endangering yourself. Ogres One of the toughest creatures you'll face early in the game, particularly in large numbers, is the ogre. Extremely durable and carrying powerful axes, ogres can be taken down toe-to-toe (use shields and the hit-and-run method) or with ranged weapons. Prevent triggering too many by carefully entering new locations. In numbers, ogres can be especially dangerous; the amount of damage they can dish out really adds up. Wizards The most annoying enemy you'll face? Those blasted wizards in their special little tower! During your single-player adventure, the trip through Nox takes you into the wizard's tower. Inside, you'll face several different types of spellcasters, all quick on their feet and ready to annoy you with spells. Use war cry to stun the wizards or dispel their spells. Trap them in corners and perform a berserker charge or finish them off with a melee weapon. You can attempt to chase after them and strike them in the back, but it's quite difficult, particularly if other wizards are present and casting spells at you.
