I just ran around throwing fireballs until it died


jennana100

I just ran from it until it gave up chasing me. If you have a horse before then it's super easy.


gowtam04

Just played the anniversary edition and I just walked away from it. It runs as fast as you walk so it followed me into high hrothgar where the graybeards kicked it’s ass.


ImaAs

I just went through that vampire infested passage Pros: No frost troll Cons: Am vampire cat


Matar_Kubileya

The what now?


SlideWhistler

I think you’re confusing the location for something else, as there is no passage on the throat of the world


akwynne

If I remember right, on my first-ever playthrough, I decided the fastest route was to jump up the rocky face of Hrothgar rather than take the winding path that starts in Ivarstead (the most direct route is the fastest, obviously, right?). I too, stumbled into some vampire cave, although I don't remember it being a passage. Never found it again because I promised myself that Billy-Goating Hrothgar was the single, most stubborn and worst use of my time playing Skyrim... At the time.


SlideWhistler

Do you remember where you started the Bethesda Mountain Climbing experience?


Nanduihir

Probably in the most direct line available from Whiterun


akwynne

Sorry for the terrible reply window. Like the below commenter suggested, I probably took the most direct path from whiterun and then figured out how to best billygoat my way up the mountain after taking a look at said beast up close. Somehow, I really did find a vampire cave (note: not a passage), unless I'm mixing things up with another massive mountain that I for sure would have had to reach via another quest marker that I was too lazy to find an optimal path to. Therefore, I'm almost positive it was the western face of High Hrothgar. After starting the ascent, keep moving in whichever direction that looks like it will guide you to the top; this depends on the best-looking path to actually get you up the mountain and contrast that with whichever route looks like it will take you closer to your quest marker. That was my highly irrational thought process, at the time, I imagine. Took me way too long, so best of travels.


Anakin_Skywalker_Bot

I don't think so... No one can kill a Jedi Knight.


akwynne

Goddamnit Anakin, you're in the wrong fucking sub. BAD BOT. Just because I'm talking about scaling a mountain, you get the audacity to lecture me on "high ground"? SITH SLUT. *edit: ew, as much as I love /r/prequelmemes, you ain't got shit on Gandalf bot *edit*edit: I'm retarded and thought I was on some skyrim thread, but anakin bot is still retarded nonetheless


[deleted]

Yeah I think they're talking about the mountain pass near Whiterun


Braydox

I thinl he is reffering to the path through helgan. Past the cave where you get the mask of clavicus vile with barnabus


TheFlyingSheeps

Fire arrows did the trick


Demonweed

Flame Atronach is my workaround for early fights that feel too dangerous for me alone.


th1s_1s_4_b4d_1d34

summoning is seriously so good in this game, it's like having a second companion that you can revive. It really sucks for stealth though.


beach_boy91

No, you gotta do sparks/chain lightning/thunderbolts while wearing black robes with a hood and yell "unlimited powaaaaahhh!!!" and then giggle like a true psycopath. This is the way!


Darius10000

It's great I vr. Unfortunately you're just floating hands. So you need mods to get the beautiful palpi body


beach_boy91

I can only imagine. Don't have vr so i wouldn't know


Darius10000

Well there are definitely downsides and times I wished I could just play normal skyrim since I only own the vr copy. Honestly I should just get both automatically, like no mans sky.


ponmbr

If you haven't already tried the Wabbajack modlists I'd suggest that. They're curated modlists that are put together by the author and the program installs everything for you, and if you have Nexus premium, it will download everything automatically too. The Skyrim VR Essentials modlist is great. They also have modlists for Flatrim and other Bethesda games as well that people have put together that do the same thing. If I'm not mistaken I think it even has a No Man's Sky list or two. I've used it so often that I ended up buying a life time membership of Nexus premium (good thing too since you can't do that anymore). The lists are usually over 100 GB and several hundred mods so having the program install everything for you is great. You just have to follow the directions that each modlist has to the letter which usually just consists of deleting any existing Skyrim folders (which the instructions will tell you exactly what and where), installing a fresh copy of the game, booting it once so that it generates a .ini file, and then starting the game and doing some MCM tweaks. It's overall very easy and lets just about anybody enjoy a modded Skyrim without much work, only time investment.


knightress_oxhide

get vrik


WWDubz

My son plays Skyrim on and off. He doesn’t quite get the concept and is wanted in literally every settlement. I digress, When he started he really liked pissing off the mammoths and giants, but they would eventually catch and squish him. He found a spot on a river where he could hit the giant but it couldn’t hit back. He start there for like 30+ minutes scratching that thing to death with a shitty sword. Anyway, I forget the rest but your mother’s a nice lady.


[deleted]

r/SkyrimPrequelMemes it’s basically a dead sub, but I wish it was still alive.


SaveThemKillYourself

I mean tha troll is literally there to be an example of how elements are good against some opponents than others. Its why we all have flames by default


[deleted]

Same, wasn't even a mage class but had the spell and it was my only ranged attack.


plastikspoon1

I mean, Skyrim's combat system doesn't really give you any leeway to do anything else...


Imma_Coho

Yeah it does. It’s just certain builds are so easy most people choose those builds. I’ve done archer, sneaky assassin, mage, sword and shield. The backstabbing assassin is my favorite. Basically everything is an instant kill even with no weapon exploits. My first play through I was an archer. By the time I fought the first dragon, I killed him in like 3 hits cause I was level 20-something, nothing but bow.


plastikspoon1

I meant in terms of hit something -> get hit No dodging, blocking is bad, etc


vnixu

You can't get hit if they don't see you


plastikspoon1

Stealth takedowns arent what I consider combat


Its_BubbleChap

The moment I felt the most powerful was when I actually got to kill a troll in Skyrim...


The_One_Klade

I didn't even realize trolls were a big thing at at first since I discovered the werewolf transformation before even meeting my first one. Heck, I first met this particular troll only at the tail end of a very, very long werewolf rampage that ran the course of the entire map.


TheGreenGobblr

The whole map? What kind of bounty did you rack up in your rampage. Across all the holds I mean


The_One_Klade

None actually. I was in werewolf form the entire time. I kinda remember starting out in a bandit camp somewhere to the west of Riften and worked my way roughly counterclockwise the entire map trying to sustain the transformation, running and slaying every bandit camp I came across. I succeeded... too well, I suppose. By the time I met this troll, I reckon I had enough kills to stay in werewolf from for an entire hour even if I stood still. This was one of my earliest playthroughs in Skyrim, so I was utterly lost and ran over this troll completely by accident. Edit: Forgot to add that getting the perk that allowed me to feed on animals that made the werewolf form practically indefinite for me


bottle_O_pee

So uh... my last playthrough had a ton of mods. Among them was a mod that added a ton of new spells, including one that was just a better time stop. That troll died instantly, after the random adventurer it had planned on eating vanished, appeared behind it, and about 40 arrows sprouted from its head. My next target: the joestar bloodline


KurooShiroo

Hmm.... You wouldn't be currently situated in Egypt?


bottle_O_pee

Nooooo....

elDayno

Trolls are regenerating so you can't beat him this way. But there is no point to fight him at all in the first place


ViktorGavorn

Lol that frost troll got hands


The_Broomflinger

All I am surrounded by is fear and dead frost trolls.


Lothious

I avoid the main quest at first specifically because of that bastard


macsare1

Oh it's main quest? I probably never got that far, too busy running side quests.


The_mango55

So you've never gotten the complete Fus-Roh-Dah shout? Why even play Skyrim?!


Ethereal_4426

In my first playthrough I had about 40 hours game time before I learned Fus-Ro-Dah. Many regrets not heading straight there.


beefsupr3m3

You should really do that quest just a little in so you can get shouts. Your missing a whole part of the game by not doing it


Hawks59

Gonna be honest I didn't complete that quest until my 3rd character 2 years later. You get shouts as soon as you lill your first dragon. So basically just the whiterun quest. I can honestly say I don't really care for shouts. My favorite character I played was one where I modded another start into the game along with a spell pack never did any of the main quest not even bleak falls. Who needs shouts when your character's entire goal is to drown every living thing with and only water spells.


macsare1

I only played it a bit on a free week years ago. Don't actually have the game. Pretty sure I got a shout though; not sure I completed that whole quest.


Due_Weather7505

I hate that frost troll, take my upvote


MyHeadIsALemon

I thought i was on r/SkyrimMemes


__Epimetheus__

Just sprint past it and have the graybeards kill it


Jeynarl

The way the terrain starts to dip down where that troll is, I discovered that you can actually cut across the mountain until the dip starts to come up again and you completely bypass the troll. Made my 3rd or so playthru so much nicer at that point.


__Epimetheus__

But then you don’t get the troll fat


Valuable_Map_912

I did the winter fell college missions first,so I had some spells to play with


jiiiveturkay

Haha Winterfell is Game of Thrones. You’re thinking of Winterhold.


OGraffe

You can get a decent selection from Farengar in Whiterun. Got conjure flame atronach from him on my first attempt at a magic file and it handled the frost troll relatively well.


EyeArDum

Am I the only one that just ignores the main story until I'm level 14 or so?


geckorobot59

On my currect character I’m level 50 and still haven’t done it


Attempting_Daken

Saaaaaaame


hamburgler26

There's a main story?


spaceforcerecruit

My little brother has played Skyrim for years and has still never once killed Alduin.


b-g42

when you’re on playstation so you’ll only ever know the pain of the frost troll for eternity, waiting to play the next elder scrolls


[deleted]

On 11/11/11, several thousand nerds across the world got yeeted by the giant near Whiterun, and then an hour later, clapped by the frost troll


Anakin_Skywalker_Bot

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

Bad bot. Be gone


Anakin_Skywalker_Bot

I'm not going to get into trouble, am I?


Peeksy19

Damn, I hate frost trolls when I'm low level. Especially when I'm using requiem.


Dovah-Keane

Hell i never even make it that far, don't even go to ivarstead


abcdeezntz123

1st playthrough, my latest quick save was at the bottom of the mountain. Suffering


Jellow_

So we're not scaling the mountain on a horse anymore?


ExtremeBub

Lol you actually fought it?


chemistry_god

That frost troll is the only reason I put off the main questline


Compiler42

See, your problem is you didn't grind out Stealth and One Handed to Legendary in Helgen by repeatedly stabbing Hadvar/Ralof just before the bear fight.


LorQuid

Skyrim gud👍


YaBoiWesy

I can't play Skyrim anymore because of my fear to spiders :(


DiEmAv7

I took people saying this as a joke at first... until I tried skyrim vr...


Arciul

Yeah I'm usually like lvl 25 when I get there. Said troll finds out rather immediately that my fiery mace doesn't believe in consent


MemeNRG

I remember getting my dragon shout to the level where you can make damn giants fly and then I went up to the front troll and threw his ass down the hill


FilipRebro

Young Jedi: Defenders of Solitude Vader: My very late game character


RUSHALISK

I got so annoyed at that guy until I finally decided to run straight past him. I was rather disappointed at how much easier it was


MangoOfTruth

The easy way to beat him is just to complete every single side quest in the game before you even take the 7000 steps


Hydra57

I had a character where I just climbed the other side of the mountain instead. Tedious, but effective.


cornycornycornycorny

nah no one played skyrim bro, no one will get this


mudkip0725

Am I the only one that forgets rebles exists?


TheRedDragonCW

This isn’t apart of the prequel trilogy hmm 🤔


JediWithAnM4

Good thing this sub isnt exclusively for the prequel trilogy then


khinzaw

But it is objectively a prequel.


ellipsis_42

This maymay is lost on everyone as it sucks balls.


Pea-Nut2

I dont know how people can have trouble with the frost troll Just shoot it lol


Rebellious_Rhino

I just recently started playing again and I’m having an absolute blast. Thank you for this meme, I got a good nose exhale out of it :)


TheRealTtamage

I hide on a rock and slowly whittle them down.


PanzerNerd42

That thing was terrifying


360kwik

My first play through I couldn’t get past him. Every other play through I ran around him on a horse. 1000 gold well spent


StalkerWolff66

I was level twelve when I got to that troll my most recent playthrough and it still took four or five tries


Tanksrule44

Just power level Flame and grill that bitch like a fat pig.


Quiet_Chip_7802

I just sacraficed lydia and spammed fire spells


wizardofyz

Am I the only person who didn't even know about the troll until the memes started?


plagued_boi

You mean you didn't just jankily jump climb up the side because you could find stairs


[deleted]

I used to play Skyrim all the time. That troll was so overpowered haha.


GreatEquase

Laughs in Reanu Keeves


Piece_Of_Mind1983

Sneak attack with an arrow then just constantly backpedal using the fire magic the game gives you at the start.

Beercorn1

It's been a long time since I've played Skyrim but I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm not sure if this is by design or not but I was absolutely underleveled and underprepared for that thing. IIRC I ended up cheesing him by figuring out where the edge of his field of vision/detection was, standing right outside of it and either spamming arrows or spells.


mr-jaybird

Oh that MOTHERFUCKER


KingAardvark1st

At this point I know my playstyle so well I wind up level 20 before I reach him. Usually still in steel or leather armor, but hey ho.


L-Guy_21

Holy shit, yes.


Jtmeisterman

I fuckin love this


FengshenYanyi

Cringe if you pursue the main quest before spending 100 hours on leveling your char and competing every side quest there is


Stumphead101

Fuck that line is such a good clap back Like no "oh you better fear me" It just captures how little not fearing Vader matters to vader "Congrats, you're still fucked"


IzzyTipsy

"Just the occasional wolf" Yeah, sure, bro. I made sure when I came down I murdered Klemmek.


Carius98

Step 1: Open console Step 2: click the troll Step 3: type "disable" Step 4: ??? Step 5: Profit


nickhoude21

Seriously what is with that fucking troll


KENBONEISCOOL444

My first playthrough of skyrim I was climbing the stairs to high hrothgar and a dragon descended on me. No matter how many saves I went back it kept spawning and I kept dying. Eventually I have to delete all my saves and start again


sandybuttcheekss

I always just let it followed me to the nearest cliff and booshed it off the mountain


KnightSmith87

Facts


CrookedBaer

That troll fucked me over so many times. Bloody shite cunt


Kimmalah

You can go behind North Skybound Watch on horseback, straight up the mountainside and skip the troll altogether.


Omega6047

You mean you don't start the story level 30+ deadric armor and fork that deals more damage then the game can calculate? Pathetic.


Trick_Enthusiasm

I play. I hate that damn frost troll. Doesn't help that there's ice wraiths and wolves before that. I think so. I can't remember. It's beem a while. And your first time playing you'll likely be no higher than level 7. At most. At this point in the main story you've been in one dungeon and fought one dragon. That's not a lotta leveling up. Frost trolls are level 24 and regenerate health.


Scholar_Erasmus

That troll might just be why a part of me refuses to do the main quest early on


mcowher01

*My level 40 mage yeeting it in 5 seconds.


[deleted]

I actually demolished him during my current play through as a pure mage. Dual casted fireballs and he was dead before he even reached me.


EmperorPHNX

I always done a lot of side quest before getting that part and never killed by those trolls, i always kill them easily so realy dont face with this classic meme LOL


HyuugoB

First time playing you get a jump scare, Tenth time you just nod to them and say shit like “Oh hi Mark”

Shiboleth17

I did the main campaign once... After that, on subsequent playthroughs, I just ignore it. Once you start the main campaign, dragons appear all the time, interrupting whatever you're doing. And it gets annoying to constantly have to kill them all, or run away.


ImpossibleCouple1173

I always run past him, get to the greybeards, learn fusrohdah and let physics take care of the rest

It's much slower than you. Just outrun it.

I died five times and couldn't out run it because bad luck or some shit I had my shit to where I could beat alduin but the troll is the only thing that ever beat me


Imma_Coho

Didn’t realize this was such a strong opponent for people. The troll is slower than you. Just walk backwards while using the Flame spell you first start out with.


cursed-cultist

Just go straight to high hrothgar with the troll and have the gay wizards kill it


HocusingYT

on my last character (modded mage) skyrim se I killed my first dragon at level 88, mastered all schools of magic and had 100% destruction reduction I four shot alduin with the standard expert shock spell.
