Learn how to cage the Troll Guard and defeat the boss troll in Part 8 of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When the Troll Guard appears, run to the platform with the lever. The Troll Guard cannot reach this platform.
  2. 2
    Big Brother must pull and hold the lever to open the cage.
  3. 3
    As Little Brother, hop down to the cage area, carefully avoiding the Troll Guard.
  4. 4
    Enter the cage by sliding through the bars.
  5. 5
    Lure the Troll Guard into the cage.
  6. 6
    As Little Brother, slide back through the bars to exit the cage.
  7. 7
    Release the lever with Big Brother to trap the Troll Guard.
  8. 8
    After trapping the Troll Guard, Lady Troll returns and sets up a chain rope. Climb the rope.
  9. 9
    Follow Lady Troll down the walkway to a gold platform.
  10. 10
    Use the track controls below to move the platform. Push forward, rotate right, push forward, rotate left, and push forward to reach the broken bridge.
  11. 11
    To cross the broken bridge, move the track-lever to the start position, then move it forward two clicks. The platform will be in the middle of the gap.
  12. 12
    Cross the bridge and go under the gate Lady Troll opens.
  13. 13
    After a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (an in-game cinematic event), a boss troll appears. Retreat up the side of the area with the brothers.
  14. 14
    The goal is to open the circular trapdoor gate in the center of the arena and make the boss troll fall into it.
  15. 15
    There are four chains holding up the trapdoor gate. One is already broken; you need to break three more.
  16. 16
    As Little Brother, drop down to the arena and head to a chain pillar. Wait for the boss troll to charge, then evade it so it hits the pillar.
  17. 17
    Repeat this process for the remaining two chain pillars.
  18. 18
    With all chains broken, use Big Brother to pull the large lever, opening the trapdoor gate.
  19. 19
    Position Little Brother on the other side of the open trapdoor. The boss troll will charge into it.
  20. 20
    The boss troll will clutch the sides of the hole. Position one brother on each of its hands and interact with both to throw it down the hole.
  21. 21
    Head to the Husband and Wife Trolls and let them pick you up to their level with the exit.
  22. 22
    Follow the path indicated by the Trolls to end Chapter 2.
Tips
  • The Troll Guard cannot reach the platform with the lever.
  • Little Brother can go between the bars of the cage.
  • The boss troll cannot change direction when it charges.
  • If you only interact with one of the boss troll's hands, it will use the other side to keep from falling.
