Learn how to defeat Alexandra's Troll in Hogwarts Legacy. Discover its HP, weaknesses, and the best spells to use, whether you know Avada Kedavra or not.
So, you've picked up the quest to deal with Alexandra's pet Troll in Brocburrow, huh? Don't worry, I'll walk you through it! This big guy is causing trouble for the hamlet, and it's up to you to sort him out.
Stats / Weaknesses:
- HP: ~24,000 HP
- Weaknesses: Can be one-shot with Avada Kedavra. Imperio is useful for damage and crowd control. Diffindo, Confringo, and Bombarda are effective spells. Attacking from behind after dodges deals extra damage.
Phases:
- The troll is immediately aggressive and hostile upon approach.
- The troll will throw boulders at you.
- The troll will charge at you and swing its club multiple times.
- The troll will use throwable objects from the arena to interrupt your attacks.
Strategy:
- If you have Avada Kedavra: Just use it! You'll end the fight instantly. Check out our guide on learning the Killing Curse if you haven't got it yet.
- If you have Imperio: This Unforgivable Curse is great for this fight. It lets you deal extra damage while also giving you a moment to breathe when the troll pauses its attacks.
- If you don't use Unforgivable Curses: You're in for a longer fight, but still very manageable. Focus on spells like Diffindo, Confringo, and Bombarda.
- Dealing with Boulders: When the troll throws rocks, you have a couple of options. You can block them with Protego and hit back with Stupefy, or if you're quick, you can even use the boulders against him! This is easier if you keep your distance.
- Dodging Charges and Swings: The troll will charge to close the distance. Make sure you dodge out of the way! This is your prime opportunity to hit him from behind for extra damage. Be ready for a quick succession of three club swings right after a charge – they hurt, and the range can be tricky, so dodge them perfectly.
- Using the Environment: Like most boss arenas, there are throwable objects around. Use these to your advantage! They can even interrupt the troll's club attacks, so try to maneuver around the arena to grab them when you can.
- Finishing Up: Once you've defeated the troll, head back to Alexandra in Brocburrow to report the news. She'll let you choose a new title for yourself: Troll Slayer, Troll Vanquisher, or Troll Whisperer. Pick whichever sounds coolest to you!
