How to Find the Hill Troll in Rune Slayer

Author : Mia Update:Mar 21,2025

Reaching max level in Rune Slayer often leads players to the formidable Hill Troll—a rewarding source of experience and early endgame loot. But finding this behemoth is the first challenge. This guide reveals the Hill Troll's location and provides strategies for conquering this mini-boss.

Hill Troll Location in Rune Slayer

The Hill Troll resides within a cave nestled on the mountainside in Bahlgar. The easiest access is via the Lakeshire elevator. Descend to Bahlgar as you would to fight Beastmen, but instead of jumping down to them, follow the mountain's wall. Pass two platinum deposits and search the mountain's side for the cave entrance. You'll need to jump into this opening—preferably mounted—to reach the Troll. While it might seem tricky initially, it becomes easy with practice. See our GIF for a visual guide (we even joined a fight in progress!).

Hill Troll – Strategy, Loot, and Quests

Despite its intimidating appearance, the Hill Troll is a relatively manageable mini-boss, though you'll likely face it repeatedly.

Solo attempts are ill-advised. Team up (at least two players) as many others farm the Troll. Its respawn time is a mere 90 seconds. The Troll attacks with a slow but powerful pillar. Most attacks are parryable/blockable, except for its overhead, two-handed pillar slam—dodge this stun attack. High damage output can stagger the Troll. Warrior class Counters, when executed correctly, often stun it.

While rare equipment drops are possible, focus on farming Troll Hides and Heads. Hides are crucial for crafting decent endgame equipment, sufficient for preparing for tougher bosses like the Mother Spider.

Troll Heads are quest items for the repeatable Hodor Quest. Hourly, you can trade a Troll Head to Hodor (near the cave) for a chance at powerful gear. Combine Troll farming with this quest for maximum rewards.

Can You Tame the Hill Troll in Rune Slayer?

No, taming the Hill Troll is impossible, even for Beast Tamer Archers. Its size and mini-boss status make it unsuitable as a pet. Stick to more manageable creatures like the Mud Crab.
