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

- 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 high swing
- Roar:
- Prepare for Low or High Swing
- If you are Ranger there is usually enough time to equip a Pavise for shield block.
