One of the first maps I played was the so called "Boss Run Map". I choose it because of the few islands close to the spawn point, making it easy to build a nice base close to where I would hang the trophys (though I didn't know how to do that at the time).
Disadvantage of that map, is that it got a patch of Black Forest close to the spawn and - of course - that patch had a troll cave and a troll outside of the cave.
I had been able to avoid the troll for quite some time, untill I defeated Eikthyr and was able to upgrade my gear a bit more. However, I couldn't find it at all, so I decided to take a go at the one in the cave instead.
At time I was still using a Crude Bow, lvl 2 and lvl 3 leather armor. So when that troll approached me and hit me, I was shocked to see how much health I lost. I decided to move outside, heal up, switch to sneaking again and use "hit and run" tactics to kill it.
Imagine my surprise when the troll I knew was outside somewhere, was close to the cave, minding his (or her) own business. I kinda felt like being trapped between a hard place and a harder place. So I did the only thing I thought I could do, went into sneaking mode, waited for my health bar to be filled to the max, snuk inside the cave, fired a few fire arrows in the Troll there, ran out, went into sneaking mode, shot a few fire arrows in the troll wandering outside, went back into sneaking, entered the cave and repeated the whole thing.
With two trolls it didn't take long before I ran out of fire arrows, so the game switched to flint head arrows. Took me a bunch of those as well, before I had the one in the cave killed and a whole lot more before the troll outside was dead as well. Main reason for that it got company of an army of greydwarves, trying to become walking needle pillows.
By the time I had everything killed, I was almost out of arrows, but the loot I got out of both fights made my day. Two troll trophys, 10 troll hide, which was enough for both the tunic and the pants, a large amount of coins, rubies, amber plus loads of wood, stone and resin to do quite some building.
I've killed the troll outside that cave quite a few times, enough to upgrade my troll armor to its highest tier. Yet, that first fight is something I won't forget.
