Actually, my training room is outside my house and most of the bonus items require mining ore which is exactly how you first meet a Troll. Usually that encounter is abrupt, terrifying, and painfully brief. As a low level character who had only just survived first boss, I was woefully unprepared for my first Troll encounter, which rapidly morphed into my first 5 Troll encounters as I repeatedly strove to (unsuccessfully) recover my awesome flint head spear and leather armor.

At the time, I had searched in vain on message boards and Reddit to find assistance and/or advice on dealing with the problem. One idea made sense. I built a training room to practice weapon skills and made sure I had better skills to deal with the issue. It was the first intelligent advice I had received while reading countless disparaging "git gud" messages from people (aka ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) who do not know me or my situation.

I was fortunate, in finding one person who was able to assist me in recovering my corpse, and offered advice and information on how to be successful. He also has popped by my seed occasionally to assist with a Boss or demonstrate tactics on various biomes, creatures and crafts.
