With so many retreats one can never go to Valhalla

The first troll cave I found had a two star troll. He’s still in that cave to this day.

This is how it feels like to fight a troll in the beginning lol

I always prefer the smaller shield and the chance to parry/stun the target over the tower shield -but in this instance, it worked really well to absorb 98% of damage every time.

I remember first seeing a 2-star troll roaming around in the forest. It was also the very first time I'd seen a troll carrying a tree trunk, so I just unequipped every armor piece I had, activated Eikthyr's power and just booked it in the other direction. lmao

That uppercut to the troll's gooch after you retreated again was a cheap shot 😭

Nicely done, the anticipation was palpable! I feel like 2 star mobs should drop a guaranteed special colored trophy!

That was fun! I can relate and appreciate with the second-guessing and “calculating risk” part of the video whole-heartedly. That tower shield held up nicely though! Good job!!

I remember my first 2 star troll. I already knew how to fight them well enough since they're virtually identical to common ones, i relied on dodging more than blocking. It still took a bloody long tkme to bring down lol, and i think half the forest got torn down during the encouter, but it was so satisfying after I beat it XD

it would definitely been easier if you tried to parry him every time he attacks but yeah 2 star trolls are no joke

Great video. Running around in bronze gear and found a 2 star in a cave. Didn't realize at first. Now I know what I'm up against

On my first time walking into the dark forest I found a troll cave thinking it would just be a bigger burial chamber. When I saw my first troll I thought: "Huh.. maybe I can kill him one hit with my flintstone dagger when sneaking up on him..". I ended running back to my tombstone several times.. 🐳

Wow, i would never forget to switch my headlamp with my helmet tho XD

One Viking does not simply retreat from a fight, in turn damaging his worthiness into Valhalla.

You can say you took down a 2 star troll with just one arrow now 😝

Happy to see they're are other ways of playing this game! Was cheering you on the whole time I was watching! Loved the video! Liked and subscribed!

Almost died laughing when the troll got flabbergasted by the blow on his seat, lol

i saw that mace and thought "how is it going to be any trouble" i had to learn how to dodge trolls early with my shitty flint axe, your way of showing it was funny though

I love this game and i love the people who play it.

Inbefore he realises that trolls are weak to piercing damage and strong against blunt damage.

Love the edits, had me dying 😂

Congratz you can now proceed to craft troll armor

I ran into a troll cave for the first time, round the corner and straight in to the troll, a change of underwear was required.

Nicely edited. Got me chuckling.

The first 2 star troll I ran into killed me in one hit and sent all my gear to the shadow realm (my gravestone clipped out of the map) haha

2 star troll + in a cave = forget about that damn cave

2:12 you should have added Tom's scream here lol

2:32 My butt clenched as Troll wacked us all with big stick

Great sense of humor. Very fun to watch. Peace out from germany 🤙

Very charming, The edits I loved it.

Fun fact, the trolls in this game look like the monsters in my childhood nightmares.

brotha you gatta get those rolls down lolll

Had a few laughs, thanks!

Very Funny hahaha this is how I feel all the time inside the game. It's like stepping into Diablo 2's boss chambers I think.

me who uses silver round shield with fang spear: ha-ha, time for the troll hunt

Imagine fighting a 2 star troll without all that extra armor from a proper helm

Well done. That's one way to do it

Good job! I think that Trolls and a mid + late game enemy have the same wind up animation for their attacks, so getting used to parrying their attacks (essentially blocking just before they would hit you) Is a good strategy for not getting dunked on later in game. (Atthough you can't parry w a tower shield, good job otherwise mate!)

dude, i haven't laughed that hard in so long! because i did that exact same thing lol

That 2 star seeker soldier is an absolute nightmare man

blackmetal dagger with cancelling: sub 10 solo kill. My first 2* encounter was me and 2 or 3 others with draugr fangs and needle arrows killing it in 5 seconds, but we had high skills and the forest wasn't exactly dense in that place.

that shield is incredible lol holy shit

I was happily crafting once, and a 2 star troll from the Black Forest wondered into the meadows, sees me and gets aggro. He killed my boars. Rip pigsley and fromage.

😂 The editing was funny .. Your skill on the otherhand was 🤨.. All in all very good clip though. Was a good laugh 😁

Yeah me and my friend came across a 2 star troll on a hillside of the black forest leading into a swamp. An abomination appeared as we were leaving after getting the iron we wanted and we ran to the direction of the troll. My friend was convinced the abomination would win but nope, the troll won. So we just use the guy to kill foes we dont want to deal with now XD

when i first started playing valheim i didnt know what star levels were. i didnt even know to look for the,. the first troll i ever found was right next to the medows and it was a 2 star troll. i didnt find out until my friend came over and saw me fighting it with my wooden bow and flint spear. and im glad to say, i killed that troll. and made troll armor out of its flesh.

stamina management is important, with your gear you could permablock it, gotta stop attacking between blocks for a bit to recover stamina :)

that last arrow in the groin finished him off

Wait for your 1st 2star seeker brute, they are terrifying

did you know that you can solo any troll with any spear and no armor (deer hide is a good start tho). If its unarmed then: let him attack and run up to him for 3 hits with the spear, but beware that he can also use the ground slam right after a normal swipe attack, in that case you'd want to back off and let him attack with the swipe again. I would also advise to run back and jump instead of rolling if you're not experienced. As for the trunk wielding trolls: Same thing but you get to attack only once or maybe twice if lucky. The attacks are more deadly and have a longer reach, so you can just throw the spear and pick it up when he is finishing the attack animation. This was my troll hunting guide that also works in Troll Caves. Hope this helps!

I underestimated one of these the other day, died, but got him on return

I don't remember the first time I found a 2 stars troll, but I do remember the last... It was a rainy day in the ocean, the fog was so dense I could not even see my own feet, and I was fighting a giant snake. I took my bow out and started shooting without looking at where my ship was going, which, obviously, ended with my ship crashing. I felt safe because the snake couldn't reach my ship until I heard a roar, a massive roar. For a moment, I panicked because the fog was way too dense to see a thing, but I quickly recognized the roar of a troll and felt safe again. I ate a bit of meat just in case and jumped out of my ship to defend it, and oh boy, was I not ready for what was coming. The moment I left my base with my ship, I just recently crafted a two-handed spear (I do not know the name in english) and I was still leveling my skill with it, which meant a didn't do much damage with it. Now, back to the ship, I was looking for the troll, thinking it was going to be easy, and I could finally level up my skill, but the moment I took two steps into solid ground, I saw it, a two stars troll, looking at me in the eyes and already getting ready to carsh my head with a tree. I panicked and ate the best food I had, but before I could even open my inventory, it was too late. He killed in a single blow. I killed thousands of trolls, but this one, this one was going to be tough. Thaknfully, I died near my base, so it was easy for me to get my stuff back, but I was worried about my ship. It was defenseless agains a troll, so I ate stamina food and started running back. The 70 seconds it took me to get to my stuff felt like an eternity. When I reached my grave, I grabbed my stuff and equipped everything, alongside some health food. When I was done, I looked for my ship and saw the troll destroying the ship and everything around it. I used the bonemass power and took advantage of the healing and damage reduction of the grave to kill the troll as quickly as possible. But it wasn't enough. He completely ignored me as I tickled his back with the spear while he was beating my ship, until he took so much damage he decided to go for me. After a tough battle in the forest using everything I could in my advantage, the troll was slain. I felt refreshed until I remembered my ship about to collapse, I turned around and looked for wood to craft a workbench, but it was too late. When I arrived to my ship, it was still standing, but then a little grey prick destroyed it in front of my eyes. For a moment, I felt despair, but then I remembered it was empty since I just left my base and rebuilt the ship with no trouble xd The end (Edit): Ok, I think I overdid it. Hope you enjoyed the story xd

The atgeir works great on trolls. Use secondary attack to stun them...

when your loot is more than strong enough to fight a 2* troll

That would be possibly the worst place you could die

Mate, I was just working here with a client and then I lost it on the "involutary retreat #1" , had to apologize becuase out of a sudden I started to laugh LOL :v

I actually found one with a log in a cave. It was terrifying.

Emotional roller coaster

bro was shocked

In an alternate universe: This could be a DarkSouls Tutorial Boss

Bro I just logged in for the first time, exploring and my curiousity lead me to the first black forest exploration, guess what? A troll with 2 stars below it's name, with a basic bow and no armor i keep hitting and running like shit without knowing it was a true beast until i got one shot-ed :D A lot of preparation needed to took him down using basic bow and basic armor. That was a nice fight tho

man the timing on the rolls 😅 unlucky because you were so close from dodging those hits.

Funny and brave, sub earned.

This is what you get for bringing a Mace to a knife fight

Next time, equip your helmet instead of your headlamp. That dvergr circlet gives almost no armor, you'll notice it when he does hit you.

fighting that without bonemass? brave

2:15 "ULTIMATE SNEAK NUT SHOT ATTACK!" 😅

for me. i used small shield and dagger using troll set for easier approach. and make sure to always parry or dodge because blocking is not an option for me

Wow surprised at how tough they are even with the tier 5 gear

I always built a camp in front of troll caves and cleared them with a bow.

I think the fight wouldve been easier if you used Frostner, that freeze effect does wonders

Parrying with a non tower shield can give you a much higher block stat than you should have, yes it takes timing, but the pay off is incredible, parry a troll and secondary upswing your mace and even on a two star, you'll 2-3 shot him.

Dude you rlly have to learn the dodge xD

Not experienced now. But months and months ago when I was a complete newb, I surprise shot with a fire arrow this red troll and watch its health go down a smidgen. Then entailed the longest kite chase waaay back into the Meadows, dozens of flint and fire arrows, exhausted eikthyr boost, day into the night, dumbass boars and greylings not minding their business...it was exhausting for ME, the player.

Bonemass Buff and a parry shield in future feels it'd be better.

This is why I prefer using a round shield. Being able to parry would've trivialized this fight. Also, gitting gud at roll timing and better stamina management would've saved some health as well.

Cool video! Happy gamer time smile

That's just brutal you're hitting that guy right in the junk with a spiked mace. Although I found a trick of going into the cave with a bow and arrow fully drawn releasing as soon as you get in and retreating and repeat

i rofled so hard with this meme 0:12 its actually me in the game

yeah imagine that but with the first armor and finebow only, that was me today. 30 tactical retreats, he got me a few times at 4, 6 of health but i didnt die and got him after half hour lmao

Yeaaaaa I remember my first encounter with a 1 star troll Bow only lmao needless to say, that was a nice 30 minute fight leaving and re-entering the cave for health reasons

troll - doing 0 dmg in shield player - hmm, let's try to roll and take damage

the troll just having 100000 hp

you know you can parry like in dark souls and make more than double the damage after?

there's a speed runner who does this mob naked with a flint spear

One of these things spawned in while I was mining copper and all I had was level 3 troll hide armour...

I rolled one down with light armor and spear. Once you get the hang of dodging them slams, its rather easy.

Involuntary retreat lmfao!!

bro was attacking air half the time Lol

so looking at your keys when do you pull out the battle axe and frostner do you just cut wood with the battle axe and kill undead with frostner

Ah 2 star trolls. On the overworld they are the greatest find early game because they are easy as hell to evade, and you can force them to blast mine ores and chop trees for you especially if you are in with other people and someone can kite while others scoop up the ores

Yesterday my friend and I had three deaths between the two of us to a one star troll. We have leather armor and have just gotten our first forge. I was able to kill it with kiting and archery, but it took some time. Even level 4 bronze atgier couldn't hurt it.

Spear and Shield is the only way to kill trolls inside caves.Block or dodge looking at your stamina...the spears piercing.Good luck on a faster kill next time.

That last arrow, tho

I'm 800 hours into this game and have only ever encountered 2 star trolls on 4 occasions. Of these, 2 I engaged and killed, including 1 on a hardcore run for some reason...

on a modded server you can even fight 4 and 5 star trolls! i'll never forget the time i saw a buddy of mine fly down a mountain and assassinate a 4 star troll like a falling kill in old AC games. Epic loot gets wild.

Two star troll WITH a log, in a cave. For masochists only.

2:10 could go to some "satisfying" Valheim videos :)))

I ran into one of these in the forest, but luckily I had endgame armor, and they are so rare, but it was easy

with this gear, this repeated combination would take it down: 2 autos, block.
