Tactics
- Tribute run. Leave Slip'kik alive — after King Gordok the group gets Slip'kik's Savvy (+spell crit) and a better chest.
- Normal clear. As an ogre mage, Slip'kik casts and amplifies magic — interrupt his casts and focus him.
- Positioning. Keep melee at the wall away from other ogres and the healer in a safe spot.
- On x5 the key is deciding in time whether to kill or spare him for the buff.
