Discover the Hill Troll Location in Rune Slayer

As you approach the maximum level in *Rune Slayer*, tackling the Hill Troll becomes a strategic move for both XP and early endgame loot. But where exactly is this formidable creature lurking? In this guide, we'll pinpoint **how to find the Hill Troll in *Rune Slayer*** and provide you with all the necessary details to conquer this challenge.

Hill Troll Location in Rune Slayer

**The Hill Troll is concealed within a cave on the side of the mountain in Bahlgar.** The most straightforward route to this location starts from the elevator in Lakeshire. Head down to Bahlgar as you would to engage Beastmen, but instead of descending where they are, stick close to the mountain's wall and continue around it. Pass **two platinum deposits** and scan the mountain's side for the cave entrance. You'll need to leap into this opening, ideally **on a mount**, to access it. It may seem tricky at first, but once you've done it, revisiting the cave will become second nature. Check out our gif to see the route in action, where we even joined a group of players in battle against 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*. You'll likely face it multiple times, so familiarizing yourself with its attack patterns is key.

**Avoid soloing the Hill Troll.** Its attacks, though slow and powerful, are predictable and can be dodged or parried. However, when it raises its pillar with both hands overhead, prepare to run as this move stuns. With enough damage, you can stagger the Troll, and if you're playing as a Warrior, a well-timed Counter can stun it effectively.

While the Hill Troll occasionally drops rare equipment, focus on farming **Troll Hides and Troll Heads**. Troll Hides are crucial for **crafting solid endgame gear**, which, while not the best, will prepare you for tougher challenges like the Mother Spider.

**The Troll Head is a key item for the repeatable Hodor Quest.** You can hand it over to Hodor, located near the cave, every hour for a chance at random, potentially overpowered loot. If you're grinding the Hill Troll, this quest is a must-do.

Can You Tame the Hill Troll in Rune Slayer?

**No, you cannot tame the Hill Troll** in *Rune Slayer*, even if you're a Beast Tamer Archer. As a mini-boss, it's too large and unwieldy to serve as a pet. Stick to taming more manageable creatures like the Mud Crab.
