Rabid Rock Troll
Rabid rock trolls are rock trolls you meet as hostile enemies in a few quests. Rock trolls are ogroids. They aren’t very clever, but they can reason, use fire and tools, and speak a broken version of the Common Speech. Many love riddles and wordplay, and the bestiary points out that not every meeting with a troll has to end in a fight.
They are strong and tough. A rock troll throws stones with surprising accuracy and hits hard in melee, and the rocky growths on its back work like armor against attacks from behind.
In The Witcher 3 you meet rabid rock trolls mostly in Toussaint. During Wine Wars: Coronata, two of them guard a hidden spot at the Pittapatte River Crossing, north of the Dun Tynne Crossroads. A letter on a corpse nearby starts the treasure hunt Coin Doesn’t Stink, which leads you on to Coronata. In Velen, if you free the horse in The Whispering Hillock and the bandit camp by the bridge she runs to is already cleared, a rabid rock troll can show up there instead.
Combat strategy
Fight a rock troll face to face. Its back is covered in rock, so going around behind it doesn’t pay off the way it does with most monsters. Stay close enough that it can’t throw stones at you, wait for its heavy swings to miss, and strike. If it crouches into a guarding stance, back off rather than hacking at its arms.
Body blows to its stomach can knock it back and break its rhythm, and after two or three hits it usually raises an arm to block.
- Coat your silver sword with Ogroid Oil.
- Keep Quen up to absorb its heavy blows.
- Stay close to stop its rock throws, but dodge out of its big swings.
- Don’t waste attacks on its armored back.
- At the Pittapatte crossing you face two at once, so keep both in view.
- Signs Weakness: quen
- Oil Weakness: ogroid oil
- Bomb Weakness: none
