Ogden Ortiz

Ogden Ortiz is an NPC in *Slime Rancher 2*, available through the Range Exchange and his custom exchange system at Ogden’s Retreat. He’s the fourth NPC to send Beatrix StarMail, becoming active on Day 4 once specific game progress is made.

Ogden was once the CEO of a massive insta-food corporation that pumped out heavily processed, chemical-laden meals. After trying—and failing—to sabotage the company from within, he was removed from his position. He left for the Far, Far Range to live off the land, raising only slimes that eat fruits and veggies. Ogden is especially drawn to Kookadoba, a rare fruit found in The Wilds. His dialogue hints that he’s not just a grower but also a skilled cook, using what he gathers in his own culinary creations. He trades Spicy Tofu for Kookadoba through the Range Exchange, reflecting both his love of food and his new lifestyle.

Trades for: Fruits, Veggies

Ogden’s backstory highlights a redemption arc—from corporate whistleblower to self-sufficient farmer and cook. His interest in natural food sources shows in both his personality and his slime choices.
