Story[]

(I don't think this is where I should be going at the moment...) The following section contains potential story spoilers! |
The feather of an Ogre Eagle is a crucial ingredient in an elixir that is the only cure to a certain deadly disease. This cure was first discovered by Graham Crossford, who traveled the continent in search of it. However, his wife passed away before he could save her, so he opted to use the elixir to save Alfyn instead, whilst passing through Clearbrook.
Ogen would soon fall victim to the disease as well. He refused to seek help or treat himself, thinking himself unworthy to live due to having murdered his wife's killer (who had a wife and a son). Alfyn disagrees, however, and upon recalling the ingredient to the elixir, makes for the Forest of Rubeh in order to save Ogen's life.

Strategy[]
Having plenty of Injurious/Ruinous Seeds on hand helps significantly, by using Chilling/Freezing Powder, the Ogre Eagle's can easily be broken. Having hunters will also break its defenses quicker once all its weaknesses are available to allow damage to be piled on.
