"Discovering the Hill Troll in Rune Slayer: A Guide"

As you approach the max level in *Rune Slayer*, the Hill Troll becomes an enticing target for both XP and early endgame loot. But where exactly is this giant Troll hiding? In this comprehensive guide, we'll show you **exactly how to find the Hill Troll in *Rune Slayer*** and provide valuable tips on how to conquer this mini-boss effectively.

Hill Troll Location in Rune Slayer

**The Hill Troll is tucked away in a cave on the side of the mountain in Bahlgar.** The most straightforward path to reach this location starts from the elevator in Lakeshire. Head down to Bahlgar, as you would for battling Beastmen, but instead of engaging them, stick close to the mountain's wall and continue around it. Pass **two platinum deposits** and keep an eye out for **an opening on the mountain's side**—that's the entrance to the Troll's cave. You'll need to jump into this opening, ideally on **a mount**, to access it. It might seem tricky at first, but once you've done it, revisiting the cave will be a breeze. Check out our gif below to see the route in action; you might even catch other players in the midst of a battle with the Troll.

Hill Troll – Strategy, Loot, and Quest

Despite its intimidating appearance, the Hill Troll is **one of the more manageable mini-bosses** in *Rune Slayer*. Expect to face this creature multiple times, which will help you master its attack patterns.

**Don't tackle the Hill Troll solo.** Its attacks, while slow and powerful, are easily dodged or parried. However, when it lifts the pillar over its head with both hands, that's your cue to run, as this attack can stun. Team up with at least one other player; the Troll's popularity among farmers ensures you won't have trouble finding a group. Plus, it respawns in just **90 seconds** after being defeated.

The Hill Troll uses a giant pillar to attack, which you can counter effectively. If you're playing as a **Warrior Class**, a well-timed Counter can stun the Troll. While the Troll can drop rare equipment, your main focus should be on collecting **Troll Hides and Troll Heads**. Troll Hides are crucial for **crafting solid endgame gear**, which is essential for tackling tougher foes like the Mother Spider.

**The Troll Head serves as a quest item for the repeatable Hodor Quest.** Located near the cave, Hodor accepts a Troll Head every hour, offering a chance at some powerful random loot. If you're farming the Hill Troll, make sure to engage in this quest for potentially game-changing rewards.

Can You Tame the Hill Troll in Rune Slayer?

**No, the Hill Troll cannot be tamed** in *Rune Slayer*, even by Beast Tamer Archers. As a mini-boss, it's too large and unwieldy to serve as a pet. Besides, it's doubtful the Troll could even leave its cave. If you're a Beast Tamer Archer, stick with the trusty Mud Crab.
