Trolls can be assigned as a slayer task at 60 combat level by various slayer masters. Trolls are, for the most part, found in the Fremennik Province and north of Burthorpe.

Trolls fought in quests all count towards the slayer task. The bosses can be fought again in the Nightmare Zone.

Trolls tend to have alchable drops. The exceptions to this are the bosses and thrower trolls found in Trollheim and Death Plateau.

Players who have completed the hard Morytania Diary might want to bring the bonecrusher to gain passive Prayer experience from the big bones drops. Players with 92 Magic and the Arceuus spellbook may use the Sinister Offering spell. Arguably, it is still worth it to cast this spell upon big bones.

Ice trolls[edit | edit source]

A player cannoning ice trolls on Jatizso.

One of the most common troll task locations is done north of Jatizso using a Dwarf multicannon. A Neitiznot shield is strongly recommended because it reduces the max hit of the ice troll female Ranged attacks from 6 to 2. Bring Prayer potions to use Protect from Melee (if using the Neitiznot Shield), as well as food to heal from the Ranged damage. Prayer potions may not be necessary if using the bonecrusher necklace. Ice trolls have some decent alchable drops including Runite equipment.

Requirements[edit | edit source]

Recommendations[edit | edit source]

  • Medium combat stats. See the skill levels below for an indication of the advised stats:
  • Level Attack 60 or higher.
  • Level Strength 60 or higher.
  • Level Prayer 43 or higher for Protect from Melee.

Equipment[edit | edit source]

Trolls have lower defence against Stab/Crush, therefore it is recommended to use a weapon with this attack style. Wearing a bonecrusher necklace you can sustain protect from melee. You can pray piety untill your prayer almost runs out. It is recommended to pray protect from melee because the Neitiznot shield reduces the damage from ranged attacks.

  1. ^ If the player does not have the bonecrusher necklace it is recommended to bring more prayer potions.
  2. ^ When used as a stab weapon.
  3. ^ The guardian boots provide 2 more prayer bonus against one less strength bonus when compared to the dragon boots.

Trolls have lower defence against Stab/Crush, therefore it is recommended to use a weapon with this attack style. Protect from melee is recommended because ice trolls can hit fairly high. You can pray piety to speed up the kills.
