Move ahead and cross the river. Keep moving along the path towards the yellow map marker. -- cut-scene --

This enemy, the Earth Ogre, isn't nearly as tough as he looks. He only has two attacks. The first is a boulder toss. He'll throw a single boulder at you, followed quickly by a second boulder in the direction you start moving to dodge the first. He uses when you have distance between you and he. Just keep running to the side to dodge both, or use the Y button with the left stick to roll out of the way.

The second is a melee fist attack. He'll use this whenever you get too close. Luckily, he winds up a bit before launching this attack, so just run away before he slams his fists down and you'll be fine.

What you want to do is wait for him to do his boulder toss. Then quickly attack him with your choice of melee, ranged or magic attacks. Watch as his health meter drops bit by bit, stick to a pattern and be patient. -- cut-scene --

If you haven't had to yet, you'll now be forced to deal with a "surprise" balverine. Keep him away from the traders as you kill him. Pick up the Ruby before you move ahead to your destination, Barrow Fields.

The traders will rush ahead, so follow them down the path and cross the bridge.
