Ogre shamans are monsters found in the Ogre Enclave during the Watchtower quest.

Players must use a magic ogre potion on them during the quest to kill them, because they can't be damaged by conventional means, including Vengeance, rings of recoil, or poison. Once killed in this manner, they do not respawn, and therefore players never have to worry about them again.

It is inadvisable for players attack the shamans. If attacked, an ogre shaman will shout You fool! Your primitive weapons are no match for our superior magics! and unleash a powerful counter-attack that always deals 30 points of typeless magic damage to the player. As it is a typeless attack, Protect from Magic has no effect on it. If an ogre shaman is talked to, it will strike the player once with a magic spell, dealing 20 typeless damage. A Dwarf multicannon cannot be used against them as it will simply ignore them.

The Ogre shaman deals a powerful hit to a Blue dragon.

Trivia

  • Despite being attackable, casting Monster Examine will reveal that it only has 1 hitpoint and pitiful combat stats.
  • Ogre shamans can actually be poisoned and killed, but the kill will not count towards the quest progression and they will respawn after a few seconds. They drop bones.
  • The original version of the Ogre shaman is still present in the game files, even though it was removed in 2006 due to the mechanics of the Magic ogre potion changing.
  • When talking to the Ogre shaman, a dialogue box ("Grr! How dare you talk to us. We will destroy you.") will ensue and quickly be closed due to the mechanics of the damage being initiated.
