Discover the Hill Troll's Location in Rune Slayer

As you approach the maximum level in *Rune Slayer*, tackling the Hill Troll becomes a smart move. Not only is this battle a fantastic way to rack up XP, but it's also an excellent opportunity to farm some early endgame loot. The challenge, however, lies in locating this elusive giant. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through **how to find the Hill Troll in *Rune Slayer*** and offer tips on strategy, loot, and more.

Hill Troll Location in Rune Slayer

**The Hill Troll is tucked away in a cave on the side of the mountain in Bahlgar.** Reaching this spot can be approached in multiple ways, but the simplest route starts at the elevator in Lakeshire. Head down to Bahlgar as you would to battle Beastmen, but instead of jumping into their fray, stick close to the mountain's wall and continue around it. Keep going **past the two platinum deposits** and scan the **sides of the mountain** for the Troll cave's 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, you'll find it easy to revisit. Here's a gif to help visualize the journey, where you can even see other players engaging the Troll, which we joined in on.

Hill Troll – Strategy, Loot, and Quest

Despite its menacing appearance, the Hill Troll is **one of the more manageable mini-bosses** in *Rune Slayer*. You'll likely face it multiple times, getting accustomed to its attack patterns.

It's crucial **not to fight the Hill Troll alone**. Even though its moves are predictable and can be dodged, teaming up with at least one other player is advisable. You won't struggle to find companions, as many players farm the Troll. Plus, after defeating it, **the Troll respawns in just 90 seconds**.

The Hill Troll wields a massive pillar, executing **slow yet powerful attacks**. You can parry and block all its moves except when it lifts the pillar overhead with both hands; that's your cue to run, as it leads to a stunning blow. If you're playing as a Warrior **Class**, a well-timed Counter can often stun the Troll.

The Troll occasionally drops rare equipment, but don't bank on it. Focus on collecting **Troll Hides and Troll Heads**. Troll Hides are key for **crafting solid endgame gear**, which, while **not top-tier**, will adequately prepare you for tougher battles like those against the Mother Spider.

**The Troll Head serves as a Quest item** for the repeatable **Hodor Quest**. Hand it over to Hodor, who's near the cave, every hour for a shot at some random, potentially overpowered loot. If you're farming the Hill Troll, definitely take up this quest.

Can You Tame the Hill Troll in Rune Slayer?

**No, taming the Hill Troll is not an option** in *Rune Slayer*, even for Beast Tamer Archers. Despite being a mini-boss rather than a raid boss, the Hill Troll's size and nature make it unsuitable as a pet. We suspect it might struggle to even leave its cave. If you're a Beast Tamer Archer, the trusty Mud Crab remains your best bet.
