i have always been able to kill frost trolls, i dont understand the problem?(On master, 2h character, and mage character)
Moral: Play dark souls

Play dark souls
Damned right. This dude fights just like a simplified capra demon. Learn the range of his arms, learn that he swipes twice when he starts with left hand, then run in and open his ass the fuck up every time he whiffs another attack.

Same thing "Breton mage" and on master and i never encountered a problem with Dragons , giants or frost troll I guess mage are overpowered then .

It's much easier as a mage with firebolt, not so easy as a thief.
5
First time I ran into a frost troll was early in the game as a thief / ranger hybrid - it was difficult.
Now I two shot trolls - from range.
all on master ofc

This is an excellent point. I'll be using this advice for my friends who wine about ice trolls.

Might need to get into the main quest a little ways. I know that there's a quest in Whiterun where you kill a dragon. After that, they seem to spawn

Wait until he finds the two Draugr Deathlords in the Labyrinthian.

Now those, I run from!

just get a glass bow, perk out archery, and then get 100 smithing so each shot does about 87 damage. Deathlords don't last long
1
Dual wield + 100% single handed armor enchant + legendary deadric swords (no silly power cycle thing) + 50% single handed potion in white phial == one hit kill everything. You only have two swords to make sure you can kill everything in a room REALLY fast.
1
At level 45 they die in a couple of hits.
8
at level 10 they die in a couple hits.
13
KILL IT WITH FIRE!...no seriously, they are weak against fire.
10
Duel fire hands, walk backwards, watch face melt.
2
Yeah. I don't understand the trouble people are having. As with all Elder Scrolls games, just run away if you can't kill it! You don't have anything to prove by fighting one at level 5.
9
I just wanted to pass through Labyrinthian! At level 5. Is that such a crime?
3
No one will judge you.
1
Seriously. I'm pretty much a full fledged mage and I can take them out no problem. If things get dicey I can summon a frost atronach which has an AOE stagger/stun.
1
I have yet to meet an enemy that doesn't succumb to Impact-enhanced lightning bolts. Power! Unlimited power!
2
I can kill em with one (backstab) hit at ~lvl 25. But man did they give me trouble at the start
1
Love the ending

Fire magic, while running backwards, 4-5 shots, they're dead. The beauty of this game is that there is a book which explains that fire is the best weapon. It can be found early on.
But even if you didn't find that, an understanding of the elements from such games as Final Fantasy or Pokemon teach you to use the opposite elements against whatever you are facing.
7
I've ended up using mostly lightning just because it strikes instantly. I like to stand way back and fight, like a coward!
2
Plus, who doesn't know Trolls are weak vs. fire?
I mean, come on, if you haven't played any other Elder Scrolls games, or any other RPGs, or know anything about DnD or trolls in historic or mythic culture, then the fuck are you doing playing this? This isn't call of duty.

hey now, I never played any of those games, but was astounded by the quality/amount of content skyrim was reputed to have.
I don't even really like the whole fantasy setting, but am loving skyrim because of the depth/flexibility.
However, I also knew fire should work on anything with frost in it's name.
5
Sweet attitude, because bethesda made this game for you, yeliwofthecorn, and not anyone else. They only made it for hard core DnD neckbeards.
3
Fuck you, Skyrim is a great game regardless of whether or not you've played the other games. That's the beauty of Skyrim. You can just jump right into it without playing the prequels.

I've loved this series of games since daggerfall, and skyrim is nice to look at, but god damn the animation is just BAD =(

A lot of things are just plain bad about this game.. (UI anyone?)
*edit: All you downvoters are fanboys. lol Skyrim has LOTS of problems. Let me count the ways... Glitched quests, terrible menus, aweful animations... I've had to reload saves due to getting stuck in walls, being flung into off-limit land, quest characters deciding they're going to crawl on their knees for the rest of their lives, boring combat, STUPID AI pathfinding (Hi Lydia, haven't seen you in like... 3 hours), etc. etc. etc.

Honestly, this is what is turning me off to the game. I have never played any Elder Scrolls game before so maybe I'm just not used to it, but I really do want to explore the world and everything but good God the menu system is horribad. So not intuitive at all.
-3
I totally agree. After playing loads of Morrowind and Oblivion the menu really threw me off. Its far too console-ish for me.
-2
It's better than oblivion's menus on xbox.

set them on fire. problem solved
2
Perhaps magic is overpowered. Conjuring atronachs + high-level destruction spells I rarely die from anything. I have run away a few times. Only a few.
2
Haven't fought an ancient dragon yet have ya?
1
Are those special dragons?
1
Perhaps not. I remember last night there was a blood dragon. I've fought maybe a dozen so far but other than the one last night I don't remember what kinds they were.
1
Elder Dragon, I think you mean?
1
nope, ancient. I do about 90 damage +23 per cold per shot with my glass bow, more when I use my ebony arrows. Must have taken a good 10 mins to kill the ancient dragon. I also wear dragon scaled armor with upgraded fire resistance and two +18 resistances jewelry piece. The guy was hard.
1
I think this is the same strategy Gandalf used against the Balrog.
2
Just as i met my first frost troll ontop of the big ass mountain a random dragon appeard, i lured them togheter to fight and i stood there hitting the dragon until it died (while it was still fighting the frost troll), then i went for the frost troll who died in 2 hits because of the fight with the dragon... well aint that luck.

set them on fire. problem solved

No fire, light armor at 16 and in a bruiser setup? An unenchanted mace? Go back home and pick some more flowers, hunt some deer, BIG UP YOURSELF.
1
Thats how I fight everything... Is that not the point of the game?
1
Just Fus-do-rah him to the ground and chop him into pieces.
1
That's exactly where my horse died ... as I fell off the wall I was running on trying to avoid them. I got knocked out cold and my horse just kinda toppled off... still haven't bought another horse.
1
just do the dark brotherhood. Invincible hellhorse.
1
I just hit 'em a couple times with my battleaxe...
1
I liked the part where you hit him with a mace. It would have been funnier if he had a sliver of health left when you killed him... because that is how that shit always happens to me
OMG I ALMOST GOT HIM
-I've got full health bar-
one shot
FFFUUUUUUU
1
Seriously it's just an enemy i have never had problem with these guys, all i do is hit it with some fire smack it a few times with a sword back away and repeat a few more times.. really not that hard.
1
It's not a static problem. He could be a lower level than the base scale of the frost troll, he could not be using magic at all, he could be playing on a higher difficulty than you.
What I'm capable of as a Mage/Assassin on Adept is far greater than what I'm capable of as a Heavy/One-Handed/Block on Master.
1
TIL there was a sprint key...
1
Wait what? watches video again
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING. I should really check my key layout before playing.
2
Twist ending!
That wasn't a twist that was a lie! I want my money back!
