How to get past the Ogre in Dragon Age 2 Demo

dragon-age-2

I can't seem to find a way to kill the Ogre in the DA2 demo. It appears to be possible, as he goes down to 30% health, then I run out of breath (and potions) and eventually die.

Is there a fool-proof strategy to deal with this guy and his darkspawn buddies?

There's no trick, it is just a normal battle. Remember that you can select the other members of your party to give them orders, including telling them to drink potions. I had my tank hold the ogre, while my other two characters quickly dispatched the adds. Then I could focus everyone on the ogre. I did end up drinking all 5 of the potions I was holding, but everyone came out alive. Keep in mind that on normal level (which the demo is locked to) there is no friendly fire, so if you have a mage with fireball, you can toss it right into the middle of the fight and it won't hurt your characters.
