==Description==
The Cave Troll is a boss found in the [[Goblin Caves]]. His attacks consist of melee attacks at various heights, shouts to slow the player, and a slam with his mace on the floor, dealing massive area of effect damage. The Cave Troll deals high damage, but its attacks are both blockable and dodgeable.

==Strategy==

[[Fighter]], [[Cleric]] or [[Ranger]] (with a Pavise) are recommended as blocking Cave Troll's attacks are more consistent.

*Ground Shake:
**Press 'X' and run away when Cave Troll holds the mace with two hands. You want to put around 3-4 meters of distance.
*Regular Attack:
**Block with a shield
**Dodge by crouching under
**Or if you are not close simply walk away
*Low Swing:
**Block with a shield 90 degrees to the left
**Jump to left over its mace, it is difficult to identify the attack from high swing
*High Swing:
**Block with a shield 90 degrees to the left
**Crouch down and look down to dodge, it is difficult to identify the attack from low swing
*Roar:
**Prepare for Low or High Swing
**If you are Ranger there is usually enough time to equip a [[Pavise]] for shield block.

High Swing and Low Swing are very difficult to distinguish, making shields more viable.
