Ice trolls in the Glacial Rift are quite dangerous and are known to terrorize the local populations.
“ | Damn! They're like Benny's angry, horny cousins. Awesome! Let's go show them who's boss!
|
” |
—Arona |
“ | I've read that it only takes them a month to reach maturity under the right conditions. I wonder if the cultists have been fosterin' those conditions. But regardless, we can't have them messin' with the locals.

Appearance
Another two winged warriors fly around the same glacial spike, and are slowly followed by an immense monster. It's bigger than two jotuns standing on each others shoulders! You estimate it to be on par with a hill troll in size, but this thing is covered in matted white fur. Frost covered tusks jut out from its mouth and further aid in its identification. This must be an ice troll! You saw one when you met Annika! Though this one looks slightly less nasty.
Interactions
An ice troll makes an appearing during the Hunting with valkyries encounter in the Glacial Rift.
First Encounter
While traveling through the snow, the Champion is started by the sudden arrival of a valkyrie, who nearly collides with them. The valkyrie, slightly haggard, apologizes and asks for their aid in battle. Two more valkyries emerge as they are followed by a slightly wounded ice troll. Regardless of how the Champion feels about the valkyrie's request, they don't think they can back off without the troll giving chase, so they decide to join the fight.
If the troll is defeated, a valkyrie will explain while they don't eat troll, their bones are sturdy and their tusks make excellent ivory. The animals of the rift will feast on the meat before any of rot sets in. With the troll defeated, a valkyrie propositions the Champion for some post-hunt sex.
If defeated by the ice troll, the entire party safely flee, and one of the valkyries comment that sometimes hunts can go bad and there's nothing else they can do but nurse their wounds and be more prepared. They hope that this defeat does not dissuade them from joining in the next time. If present, Arona and Etheryn will make commentary on the defeat.
Subsequent Encounters
Subsequent encounters with the valkyrie in the Glacial Rift will have one of them invite the Champion to join them on their hunt. With that, the Champion has the option to:
Option | Tooltip | Result |
---|---|---|
Hunt | Join the hunt. You know there's always someone who sticks around afterwards. | |
Leave | You aren't up for a hunt right now. |
|
If the target is an ice troll, one of the valkyries explains that the ice trolls have been breeding like rats lately and they terrorize the local populations. Currently they have one cornered in its temporary den, however, that makes it more dangerous. If present, Arona or Atugia will make a comment on the ice trolls. As the Champion nears the den, with a Barbarian or Scholar background, they recognize the extra gashes in the ice and dirt as tusk-grooves and other territorial markings. Regardless, the troll leaps out of the den and a fight begins.
Victory and defeat is the same as the first encounter.
