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

Low Swing

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