Once I have the right gears (i.e. bronze buckler), I'd rather use shield/dagger than bow. Makes the fight much faster and somewhat safer (if you are good at parrying). I just couldn't fight the troll in his cave with the bow anyway. But now that I'm better at the game, maybe I could try again. Still... Bronze buckler + dagger FTW!

I believe I did OK with bronze buckler lvl 1, but it's been a while so...
