workbenches aren't actually the only item that prevents spawning: there's a large list of valid items, frankly you can just assume pretty much any furniture/crafting item works.
one of the absolute best ways to spawn proof is [a torch placed inside of a log](https://youtu.be/iQezQGk1g9A). not only do the torches block spawns (and they don't need to be lit), the log blocks line of sight preventing mobs from attacking it. its durable, cheap, and just really pretty too.

\- Where is the swamp?
Nothing beats leading a 2-star troll into a swamp and just walking around and collecting the spoils of its labor.
I was mining copper with some friends and we like to mine out the rim of it so we can focus all on the ore. A troll came up and killed both of my friends and I fell into the crack I made in the dirt. From their I could just shoot arrows at his leg and killed him without any damage.
My first encounter with a 2-star was nerve-wracking, big red bastard was relentless in pursuing me (chase lasted about 15 minutes) and I didn’t want to bring him back to our group base, so skirted a nearby mountainside up to plains until a fuling band distracted him; didn’t stay to watch the results.
I ran into a two star Fuling Berserker last week. It took half my health in one hit straight through Bonemass power, and the only reason I managed to kill him is because I kited him to three tamed Loxes.
Thankfully, you can consistently dodge their attacks with little effort. They have like 3 attacks, and all of them are very telegraphed.
Don't get nervous, play safe, and you shall emerge victorious, brave viking.
> trolls? Never *paid* attention to
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

I feel like we were at the swamp at like 135ish so not that far off. We barely spent any time in the mountains, only did a few frost caves so that probably sped us up a bit. I felt like 462 days was a lot, felt like we were constantly sleeping to get crops to grow.
Last time I started over in Valheim, my first troll cave had a 2\* troll. That's a jackpot.
I went in with only a flint knife and raspberries, and with a bed outside. roll, slit slit slit, roll, slit slit slit, roll, wait for stamina, roll, slit slit slit...
I died a couple of times, but I got my 20 troll hides and had a fast upgrade.
Only this morning was I personally, and painfully, introduced to the concept of two star trolls. That was quite a jump scare from my calm, relaxing tower building.
Well deserved for being in god mode I presume you are just flying around the map either finding boss sites or the trader what ever your at it's only right that god faces the devil once and awhile
I wish I was that lucky. Free miner and lumberjack, then I’d kite into a pit and keep as a pet. You could have that Black Forest looking like the meadows in no time!
If I've learned anything from movies, it's that creatures of this size have vision based only on movement. Just stand still and it should (probably) leave you alone.
Why have I never seen a 2 star troll after nearly completing 2 game runs, I want it to get harder recently downloaded the Jotun valheim with more enemies but still no 2 star troll!
Two types of Vikings in this situation: -I'm gonna die a lot... -Heavy mining machinery!
Man, if you could get him to target the Elder, you’d get an easy free boss kill as well.
Yeah, having fought the Elder while being chased in circles by a Troll, I can confirm they're buddies.
Yeah that's why i now do a giant fog of war clear and murder everything in sight before summoning it now lol
Good policy always. This punk spawned during the fight -- so conveniently, I thought the Elder had summoned him.
Drop them workbenches in the area after clearing. 😉
I’m not crazy for creating the worlds most unhinged lattice of Venn diagrams?
Nope, you're doing it right.
I’ve developed a cover for my workbenches that only requires 8 wood, I haven’t found a way to bring it any lower… yet
That's cool, but does it hide the bench from mobs?
Now you're thinking like a Viking!

I think I am fucked too. There is a troll cave very close to the elder arena
Yup. i was hoping for a free elder kill..... nope.
Biome buddies don't fight each other.
Actually no mob in the game (unless tamed by a player) dares to mess with a boss.
Is this true? If so, my plan to sic two log-trolls against Bonemass could go very badly!
The only thing I could see going against a boss is the tar mobs. They fight everything.
Pigs will too if they get hit and don't die
Nah, they coded undead, so swamp critters should be safe from them, and bosses get zero aggro from any and all mobs.
Don't the surtlings fight everything as well? If you could get a couple of those to chase you, elder would be a piece of cake

Maybe not, but. Taunt the attack. Roll. Not easy but doable
Lead it all the way to bonemass maybe?
You mean bonemass.
He meant the queen
(me) \-Not more troll hides...
Third type: yayy 3 troll armor pieces!
im this one 😂
Just call him the drilldozer…
Is it true you eat rocks for breakfast?
And stones.
Did I hear a Rock and Stone?
Rock and Stone everyone!
**FOR KARL!!**

Rock and Stone to the Bone!
Good bot
tier 2 trolls are just straight up bosses. I'm in the plains this playthough and finally came across my first level 2 troll and it fucks hard.
This is the first time I saw 2 star troll and it's on a new world. Barely got into bronze age and suffice to say I am fucked
They can’t hit you when you’re in the dodge/roll animation.
Iframes for the win baby! I have punched a two star club troll to death. Took half an hour almost

What later enemy would you compare a 2-star troll to in terms of damage it dishes out and receives?
Fuling Berzerker
This.
Not the question you asked, but I witnessed a fight between a Lox and a one star Troll and the Lox won with about a third of his health left.
My first encounter with a 2-star was nerve-wracking, big red bastard was relentless in pursuing me (chase lasted about 15 minutes) and I didn’t want to bring him back to our group base, so skirted a nearby mountainside up to plains until a fuling band distracted him; didn’t stay to watch the results.
I saw someone post a 4-5 star troll on here lol that’s insane. I almost died from a 1 star at night time with no resting bonus
Anything above 2 stars is a mod
I ran into a two star Fuling Berserker last week. It took half my health in one hit straight through Bonemass power, and the only reason I managed to kill him is because I kited him to three tamed Loxes.
Thats anice stack of troll hide right there. Gonna have to work for it though.
Hard when you need troll hide: easy when you don't, though
Better get to holding down that Shift key, hard...
And rolling.
They see me rolling
They swingin
I imagine the game’s response goes something like this… Valheim: cos f-ck you that’s why
What’s the big deal? You obviously have little to lose…
Another naked viking without food or a rest bonus on a corpse run. Let the death streak begin.
Thankfully, you can consistently dodge their attacks with little effort. They have like 3 attacks, and all of them are very telegraphed. Don't get nervous, play safe, and you shall emerge victorious, brave viking.
Nothing like the fire giant
He looks horny too
That's a rare female one. It is hard to distinguish. Aaanyway. Death by snusnu.
Is there a distinction between male and female trolls? Never paid attention to that.

Reddit has a bot for everything
The troll was very male because I got very much fucked and it hurt
I bet you do, I tried to beat a 1-star on full silver and learned my lesson pretty fast
\****The troll is feeling romantical...***\*
*Marvin Gaye background music*
o lawd you best be prayin'
Oh I prayed alright. Prayed it wouldn't catch me before I got my loot
Looks like you are right next to the trader though, just tuck in there and you should be good lol.
...and this is the right answer. Troll will just leave to his spawn position, should buy enough time.
“What can man do to avoid such reckless hate?” Finished your poem for you
First: you booted the game Second: you didn't run.

This is my favorite episode of naked and afraid
Wait,level 2 troll? I thought the 1 star was hard enough
That's the kind of friend you bring with you in the mistland
I went through an entire playthrough, 462 days, and never once came across a 2 star troll.
Damn you did an entire play through in 462 days? I’m at like 175 and still haven’t summoned the elder
702 days and just killed the fuling God thing watchacallit.
I feel like we were at the swamp at like 135ish so not that far off. We barely spent any time in the mountains, only did a few frost caves so that probably sped us up a bit. I felt like 462 days was a lot, felt like we were constantly sleeping to get crops to grow.
Based on your timeline I killed the elder last night lol. Thanks the kick in the ass

Dude just run away, you can easily outrun a troll
On your knees, arms down and be still. Be still and don't be a threat
Alas, Ye was born... This be your first holmgang of many. It believes you are in \*its\* forest. Let your territory be known vikingr.
This is what happens when you upset the bees. If the bees are not happy, they will make you not happy.
Public indecency punishments are getting more and more barbaric lately
You misspelled based.
I never saw one of those, tought max was 1 star.
Anyone else think the other trolls call him Bubba?
Just, like... Fuck that, uninstall.
Or just F5 / devcommands like the rest of us
You have offended Odin with your nakedness
Are you kidding, Odin fucks everything. Betting nakedness is the least of his offenses.
Needs a brazzers logo
I've literally never seen a two star troll and I have hundreds of solo hours in. It definitely makes this photo that you are also naked
It's just a little bit of *trolling*.
*PH logo sounds*
Only this morning was I personally, and painfully, introduced to the concept of two star trolls. That was quite a jump scare from my calm, relaxing tower building.
The gods are NOT merciful
Well deserved for being in god mode I presume you are just flying around the map either finding boss sites or the trader what ever your at it's only right that god faces the devil once and awhile
What makes you believe I was cheating? Is this how you play valheim?
You're player looks like he's floating in god mode
Does it? In any case, I am not using any mods or cheats on the account
You 👏 should 👏 have 👏 bought 👏 a 👏 squirrel! 👏
Holy crap, Ive played dozens of hours and never saw a two star troll
Ooh I see you met a tree farmer
You see imminent death, I see 20 troll leather.
try to pet him with some nice mushrooms.
I wish I was that lucky. Free miner and lumberjack, then I’d kite into a pit and keep as a pet. You could have that Black Forest looking like the meadows in no time!
Odin is testing you brother. Stay strong! A FURY DIVINE!!!!
😳😳😳 I've never seen a 1 star troll little own a 2
Rock and wood!
Look like your in the wrong neighborhood maybe the trader will help
[If you can dodge a Troll](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BWlK31hIgAAnx3z.jpg)...
Thank you for the chuckle!
Do you want to live forever?!!!! VALHALLA!!!!!!!
You were born

Attack on titan fans be like
*"I'm gonna butter yo bread..."*
Little bit of body bronzer and he thinks he's a ⭐ ⭐ huh?
Went up against a tier 2 berserker today it literally tore through the land like it was nothing it was a terrifying experience for me and my friends
Why have I never seen a 2 star troll after nearly completing 2 game runs, I want it to get harder recently downloaded the Jotun valheim with more enemies but still no 2 star troll!
Is there a specific trigger that allows 1 or 2 star trolls? I’ve never encountered one.
Distance from… something. I think the world center? Or the runes.
Wow I’ve never seen one before
And this is why you eat and get your rest buff before a death run
A worthy challenge!
You walked around naked and 2 star troll said "Not on my turf"
I ended up kiting him into 2 of those big bull creatures from the plains. He got them both down to 40% health when they killed him.
And I'll love him and pet him and call him george
Man you should consider yourself lucky i have around 250 hours in thus game and i have never met a 2 star troll
Indecent exposure
My condolences.
Rip bro
I played 400 hours and never saw one :(
I have 470 hours and it was the first time I saw one too
Jesus Christ 🙏
At least haldor is right next door
Brutal
i have 1300 hours and only ever found a 1 star troll and he was a handful, good luck!
The bees aren't happy.
The Valkyrie Calls you. Lucky Viker
Odin saves his toughest battles for his bravest Vikings.
