I DID prepare to be there and you guys are clearly fanboys ignoring poor game design by mediocre devs. I prepared in every way, defeated the first boss, and built everything I could. I also ran far away from the Trolls territory and it just kept chasing me.

Face it. It's poor game design. Game devs have had better design than this in games made 30 years ago. Very disappointed in this overhyped PS1 game.
