Troll

Trolls have high resistances and deal significant Area-of-Effect damage with their stomps, which can also knock you back. Magic is a safe option for dealing with them, even when their health pools are rather high. Due to their high health, bleed is quite effective, especially early on when you are dealing low damage per hit. Trolls are susceptible to Hemorrhage which makes it a good option to whittle their large health pool. Sleep Status is also very easy to apply. Shooting a troll in the head with a projectile will stun them for a few seconds. There is a Silver Tear that transforms into a Troll at the end of Night's Sacred GroundGrace. After taking enough damage (around 50 of their health) Trolls will start using their sword (if they have one) which will change their moveset. A Frenzied Troll at Mt Gelmir, in front of the entrance of the Volcano ManorGrace, uses frenzied attacks. This variant is also plentiful around the Yelough Anix RuinsLandmark. They are capable of destroying the glowing blue statues found across the world. These often contain Smithing Stones and Somber Smithing Stones. Trolls found in the Flame PeakLandmark use Flame incantations, and are often fighting Giant Crows. If one is having trouble with one or the other, try luring them into fighting each other. Theodorix was once a Troll, and a hero of the War against the Giants. He has since become a Magma Wyrm, lurking beyond the frozen river in the Consecrated SnowfieldGrace.
