In War, Victory

This trophy is added along with Return to Ostagar DLC.

Skip the ogre and instead run north to get closer to genlock necromancer. This character is of mage class, so killing him in melee combat shouldn't pose a problem. Defeat the necromancer as fast as possible, as his death will stop the ogre from resurrecting and make nearby ghosts stop appearing.
