In this guide, I will explain how to find trolls in Hogwarts Legacy and showcase the best tips to defeat them easily.
How to Find Trolls in Hogwarts Legacy
There are multiple troll locations in Hogwarts Legacy. They can be found in troll lairs, which are symbolized by a cave symbol on the world map.
If you’ve explored around the map, even if it’s only on your broom, you’ll have some troll lairs marked.
There are multiple troll lair locations around the map. Here are some of their locations:
- Feldcroft – All around the Feldcroft region of the map.
- South Sea Bog – Near the Northern South Sea Bog Floo Flame.
- Poidsear Castle – Near the Poidsear Coast location.
- Hogwarts Valley – On the southwest side of the valley.
Additionally, trolls can be found while progressing through the main story. For instance, during the player’s first visit to Hogsmeade, they will have to face a troll.
How to Defeat Trolls in Hogwarts Legacy
To defeat trolls, the first step is understanding which type of troll you’re dealing with. Specifically, there are three types of trolls in the game:
- River Trolls – They can be found around rivers. River trolls are the easiest to defeat since all of their attacks can be blocked with Protego. Block at the right time to use Stupefy and spam the troll with offensive spells while it’s exposed.
- Mountain Trolls – They can be found around mountains. The mountain trolls have a 3-combo attack pattern, with the first two attacks being unblockable. Dodge the first two attacks and block the third to easily take down this troll.
- Armoured Trolls – They have no specific locations but work similarly to mountain trolls. Dodge the first two attacks while blocking the third to take them down. An extra tip is to stay near a wall and dodge away while they charge at you. This will make the troll hit a wall and get momentarily stunned.
After stunning them with Stupefy or by making them hit a wall, make sure to use your Ancient Magic charges to take them down even in one hit.
And that’s all! After understanding each troll type and its attacks you’ll be able to take them down easily and collect as many troll bogeys as you need.
Wrapping up
In conclusion, to defeat trolls easily in Hogwarts Legacy, players will have to find them by traveling to troll lairs and then dodge and block their attacks to stun them. While they are stunned, they should use ancient magic to take them down.
