Finding Alexandra’s Troll
Once you receive the quest Troll Control from Alexandra Ricketts, you’ll be well on your way to finding the troll. If you’ve selected the quest, you should find a marker leading you right to the troll on the eastern side of the map. If you get lost, your field guide can also show you the way. If all else fails, use the image above to help you find your way on the map. Once you’re in the area, you won’t be able to miss the enormous troll stomping around and making a ruckus.
Defeating The Troll
Trolls are powerful beasts, so you might want to bring along some potions to regain health during the fight. It only takes a few direct hits from this boss to end the encounter altogether.
Dodge Its Charges
The troll is going to charge at you fairly often. This will trigger the red sigil above your head, meaning the attack cannot be blocked. As long as you’re not too close when it begins it’s charge, you can usually roll out of the way. If you’re able to bait the troll into charging you, stand in front of a tree or boulder before you dodge out of the way. This will often make the troll hit its head, stunning it for a few moments and allowing you to sling some spells in the meantime.
Look Out For The Club
This troll has a massive club that it’s going to try swinging at you. Most of the attacks can’t be blocked, so you’ll have to dodge. But usually the final strike, an overhead attack, will show the golden sigil above your head. This is a great moment to toss up Protego and follow up with some punishing spellwork.
Defend Against Boulders
If there’s some distance between you and the troll, it will likely try to throw a boulder at you. It’s a pretty quick move and one that can easily catch you off-guard. This will be accompanied by a golden sigil, meaning you can use Protego to block it. If your timing is really perfect, you can use Protego and move into Stupefy against the troll.
Build & Use Ancient Magic
If you’re looking to put the hurt on this troll as fast as possible, build up your ancient magic and unleash it. This will deal significant damage capable of really shortening the fight. If you don’t have any ancient magic saved up, build your combos against the troll and be sure to pick up the glowing orbs that help fill your ancient magic meters.
