Reaching max level in *Rune Slayer* often leads adventurers to the formidable Hill Troll. This hulking beast isn't just a great source of XP; it's also a prime location for farming early endgame loot. But finding this behemoth is the first challenge. This guide reveals exactly **how to find the Hill Troll in *Rune Slayer*.**
The Hill Troll resides within a cave nestled in the mountainside of Bahlgar. The easiest route is from the Lakeshire elevator. Descend to Bahlgar as you would to fight Beastmen. However, instead of heading towards the Beastmen, hug the mountain's wall, circumnavigating past two platinum deposits. Look for a cave entrance on the mountain's flank. You'll need to jump into this opening—a mount is highly recommended—to reach the cave. While it might seem tricky initially, it becomes second nature after a few visits. See our GIF for a visual guide (we even stumbled upon a group battle and joined in!).
Despite its intimidating appearance, the Hill Troll is a relatively manageable mini-boss—one you'll likely face repeatedly.
Teamwork is key. While its attacks are predictable and dodgeable, tackling the Hill Troll solo is ill-advised. Fortunately, many players farm this location, so finding a group shouldn't be difficult. The best part? It respawns in just 90 seconds after defeat.
The Troll attacks with a powerful pillar. Its attacks are slow but devastating. Parrying and blocking are effective against most attacks, except when it raises the pillar overhead with both hands—run! This attack stuns. You can stagger the Troll with sufficient damage. Warrior class players will find the Counter ability particularly effective for stunning the Troll.
While extremely rare equipment drops are possible, don't count on it. Focus on farming Troll Hides and Troll Heads. Troll Hides are crucial for crafting decent endgame equipment, providing a solid upgrade before facing tougher bosses like the Mother Spider.
The Troll Head is a quest item for the repeatable Hodor Quest. Every hour, you can deliver a Troll Head to Hodor (located near the cave) for a chance at powerful random loot. This makes farming the Hill Troll even more rewarding.
No, taming the Hill Troll is impossible, even for Beast Tamer Archers. While not a raid boss, its size and nature make it unsuitable as a pet. Its sheer size might even prevent it from leaving the cave.
Enjoy the Hill Troll hunt! May your loot be plentiful. For more endgame guidance, explore our Essential *Rune Slayer* End Game Tips.
