I made the mistake to try to escape a troll by going for a swim and not only he didn't give a crap about the water, he just stays there, taunting me. Moreover, I've died 7 times trying to get to this spot because I have to cross the Black Forest to get there.

There are hours of grinding on that corpse. How can I work around this?

There was a thread here somewhere that led to a Reddit post where people help each other. Can not find it right now xx.

Otherwise, lure the troll away from your corpse and hide from him behind a tree or a rock until he loses the aggro on you. And then sneak to your corpse.
Running straight to the body is never a good idea, no matter where you died.
