Dark and Darker – Troll Boss Fight Strategy Guide

Cave Troll Boss Guide

Try and start troll from behind him. Gives you more time to get near him before he tries to roar.

I circle left and move in a sideways manner always looking in his direction. Do straight lines basically to the left. He has 2 basic attacks. The club swing which has a follow up if you go in too early after the first swing and the easily punishable downward swing. For the side swing just move sideways and wait for his arm to reach his side before going in for an Arm strike. This timing will insure the second attack won’t activate.

The overhead he does is always a free headshot. Only hit him 1 time after every attack he does to insure you don’t get caught. Rinse and repeat till he does the huge slam. The huge slam is easily avoidable. Put weapon away and get about 7-8 steps away from him.

Once the attack lands run straight back to him before he recovers and continue the fight. If you are too close it will do damage and a slow based off how close you are. It’s an AOE so you can’t go behind him to dodge it. If you are too far during any point of the fight he may try and scream at you. If you are close enough put away your weapon and right to his side to avoid it.

You can get in 1 maybe 2 hits during his recovery. If you are sadly hit by the roar stand still, turn 90 degrees so your side is facing him. The debuff timer at the bottom of your screen in the block will start going down. Once the debuff timer reaches the bottom right side of the block move directly sideways away from him. He will never hit you if you do this.

You can also add jumping to avoid some attacks but as barb it’s not recommended. Repeat the steps and he will die fairly fast. Side strike wait for hand to be down then hit his hand. Downward strike hit him in the head once.

Smash run away and quickly go back. Scream go to his side or stand still and move sideways when debuff is bottom right corner.

I hope you found this useful. Wishing you luck!
