@@okmallgaming ill take a look. the troll fight has always been impossible for me bc while i can do the 'dance', at some point, i have to turn the troll around..
@@okmallgaming okay thanks. another thing to note is that everytime i use finisher gap closer (mace build) when he regens, he gets up and immediately swipes me lol. idk i think between having to rotate him back up after running out of arena space and the swipe after interrupting his regen, the fight is deceptive to make you think it is formulaic, when in fact it involves a lot of tanking and rng. i have yet to see one person beat troll without taking any hit
Good guide. I fought the troll with spears a long time ago, which was super easy. But I also didn't really learn his patterns since I could avoid everything with skills.
@distinguishedopinions yeah spears makes short work of him. It's got range skills, and if you get determination, you can hit him twice for free waiting for his slam.
@bryanhrodriguez1952 to prevent weapons being dropped we need fortitude. The trolls stuns was nerfed from 2 turn stun to 1 turn. They added a new passive to him. Indomitable. A change to his pathing as well.
Thanks for this guide, much appreciated! But I am left with some questions: at 23:00 you say he's gonna use deafening roar. How do you know he isn't using claw swipe? You are in his meele range there. And you said when you are in meele range, you can be attacked by claw swipe, but it has a range of 3 actually.
@ManuelJ-b5n oh yup, I did say that wrong. If you are next to him, he will prioritize using a slam or claw swipe. He does not, in fact, use other skills when you are adjacent to him. FYI, I'll be updating this guide as soon as I level a non perma character to level 10 or so. Be on the look out for that.
@@bratttn also, this guide will be getting an update after the update drops in December. But if you have around 30% fortitude, that will help prevent your weapon from dropping. I can't remember if 35 or 30 is 100% effective, but aim for having at least 20 to 25% to reduce the likelihood of dropping weapons
Rotten willow tavern. Take the road directly north of mannshire - bout 8 map tiles. It goes straight up then curves to the west. Sell items to the warlock npc sitting at the table. He also gives you the manticore quest later.
Oh well...i thought i could be sub nr.200...but i guess nr 203 is fine as well . After seeinga lot of your stoneshard vids i decided to sub which i havn't done in a very long time .....sadly the loud and annoying idiots get the most views and quality content like yours is left to collect the bread crumbs...a 67y old gamer says hi from Germany ! hand-pink-waving
Wow, this honestly means a lot to mean. I feel the same way. I don't like loud abnoxious videos. Just simple fun playthroughs. I'm glad to have you here!
Sorry, but this strategy doesn't work, if you don' have enough dps - troll is passively healing +75 while walking back from corner, and it negates nearly all damage you have done before. So, the only way is to dance circles in the middle and don't let troll to run away from you. (Or just rise higher lvl for higher dps...)
You can beat him in this way when you damage his body enough. I've done it many times in my earlier playthroughs. That being said, I personally have gotten better at the fight managing to keep him to the top of the arena moving from left to right. In the future I plan to update this guide.
@@okmallgaming Idk, may be mine one is bugged, but it's keeping passively healing even during fight, when I am damaging him. I'm dodging his attacks without problem, but my dps just isn't enough to overpower his passive healing (not skill healing!)... Idk, probably I should start another run, because loading saves didn't help...
@boukyakunosenritsu I agree it's not the most ideal way to fight him. I put this in here as a sure-fire way to kill him, albeit long and tedious. Eventually, you will damage his body, which decreases his healing and increases damage done to him. If you want to see how I do it nowadays, watch my passive only troll fight. Nothing but the basics of the troll mechanics happen during that fight. That should give you a better feel for the fight.
@@okmallgaming Thank you, I've watcher many of your videos, but my troll is definitely bugged - he stuck not in his regular place, but near to corner, and he chases me only about 5 steps (direction doesn't matter), than returns and heals, so I have mush less time to do damage, than it supposed to be. Now I just thinking, should I restart entire run, or try to get at least twice dps as i have now...
just straight up information clear and concise thank you!
@manawa3832 yw. I have an updated version too. Basically same fight but a few changes.
@@okmallgaming ill take a look. the troll fight has always been impossible for me bc while i can do the 'dance', at some point, i have to turn the troll around..
@manawa3832 i see yeah makes sense. I'll post 2 troll fights soon using the characters from the new troll guide. So you'll see the dance in full.

Great Guide, Help alot!
Will there be a Complete guide for Manticore & Ascended Archon too?!
@Absolute.Garbage in the near future. This guide is a bit out of date and not all info is correct anymore. I plan to update this one as well
@@okmallgaming I just used this guide to beat the troll what has changed?

thanks for the guide! i just killed the troll for the first time at lvl 10, he was a pain but i got him
@professionaltrainenthusias4945 yw! My guides a bit outdated though. I'll make an update when RtR drops

How to sell curse item guide pls😅😅😅
Aye, I can work on that. Will probably be in the same guide as the rotten willow inn.
