Troll

Trolls and Frost Trolls regenerate health and hit hard. Where they live in Skyrim and why fire is your best friend against them.

Trolls are big, angry, three-eyed apes that regenerate health faster than you’d like. The regular Troll lurks in caves and forests, while the white-furred Frost Troll prefers the mountains – and is a notorious early-game wall for new players.

Where to find them

Caves and rocky areas across Skyrim. A Frost Troll famously waits on the 7,000 Steps up to High Hrothgar, which surprises a lot of players during The Way of the Voice.

Variants

Troll and Frost Troll in the base game, plus armored versions added by Dawnguard.

Abilities & attacks

  • Fast health regeneration
  • Heavy claw attacks and leaping strikes

How to beat it

Use fire – Flames, Firebolt or a fire-enchanted weapon – to deal extra damage and keep its regeneration in check. On the 7,000 Steps you can also let it chase you back down the mountain and fight on the narrow path with arrows, or simply run past it.
