Stonedigger Troll | Elden Ring Wiki

you know the term "pushover"? well, im pretty sure this guy could quite literally be pushed over with how little stance they gave him

Submit

Useless fact:
If you used starlight spell the stone digger troll will cover it's eyes and slow it down

Submit

My trusty mace jump heavy was an FU I win button

Submit

I just called my lone wolf ashes, then spammed him with the 5 large glintstone scraps I found earlier in the tunnels he went down hard and one critical hit later it was over. Easy Peasy.

Submit

He drops 10k runes now

Submit

How the hell did they fit an entire ****ing troll into the tunnel? Look at the bloody size of the tunnel rooms and paths.

Submit

This guy must have ankles made of wet toilet paper with how easy he is to stance break, two jumping attacks or heavy attacks from a basic hammer knocks him over in no time.

Submit

If you have the Kaiden Sellsword ashes (as mentioned in the guide) and are struggling with this boss, that confuses me.

Submit

Aoe fetish

Submit

Stonedigger Troll : because being thrown around by gigantic AoE attacks is always so much fun.

Submit

I swear to god every single boss in this game does nothing but spam AOE

Submit

try using the glintstone scrap items u find in the cave at limgrave

Submit

The Flame of Frenzy incantation wrecks these guys. One charged cast was staggering them for me, so I could just cast, critical, cast, critical. Two or three cycles till he was dead.

Submit

Beat this boss with samurai without lvl up took 8 tries but was definitely fun a base lvl

Submit

The one I fought at Altus shot flame out of his left hand and killed me as I was running around to his left. Insta death…

Submit

I'm on a Warrior run through and scimitars bounce off.. not mentioned on this page is a discovery I made that a torch attack messes this dude up.. a few torch attacks caused him to stagger and allowed for a huge animated critical hit.

Submit

I used the battle axe 2 handed, and my attacks didn't bounce off

Submit

I feel there's no way this enemy has the Absorptions listed here. Maybe the data for the generic Troll / Troll Knight enemies got entered instead? Check for yourself and you can see that he takes more damage from Strike than from Slash.

Submit

The Stonedigger version of these trolls is weak to strike damage, not slash. My curved swords just bounced off. He didn't go down til I switched to the whip.

Submit

Has 1,350 health. Hit him with 9 Catch Flame hits (150 damage each).

Submit

Super easy to beat - bow and flame arrows - when you first enter, shoot the barrels closest to him - then as he advances toward you, shoot other barrels as he nears them - killed in three explosions

Submit

3-4 charged R2's at the legs will make most trolls including this boss fall, revealing their face for a critical hit.

Bow snipes and jumping attacks to the face will also cause them to stagger for a few seconds

Submit

Ps4, can someone please lay sign down and join to help my lvl8 priest?

Submit

old altus tunnel link is off, has an unnecessary s at the end

Submit

2 hand a bleed striking weapon and he's easy

Submit

everyone saying just use this and just use that couldn't be less helpful.

Submit

everyone saying just use this and just use that couldn't be less helpful.

Submit

Attacks won't bounce off of him if you two hand your weapon, same as the diggers.

Submit

If you bought the note on Stonedigger Trolls, you'll realize their weakpoint is their head.

Submit

In case anyone here use a bow like I do, if you shoot at his face he will flinch for a few seconds, during which he won't fight back at all (at least, he didn't when I did). I used Mouse to aim though, so I don't know if it'll be viable for controller-user.

The information on his weak point is an actual item in the game by the way.

Submit

Sleep works awesome. The Sword of St Trina can keep most of these in a state of continuous sleep for easy kills.

Submit

Rock Sling demolished this boss. I almost felt bad for it. Almost....

Submit

Seems to be fairly susceptible to bleed and strike? Flail did short work of him and is easy to get early game

Submit

The one in old altus tunnel has 3000 Hp tested with rotten breath from the start of the fight.

Submit

What an odd boss. Even at SL1 with the starter spell Glintstone Pebble and the first staff you can get this boss melts like it is weak, even for what would be a mini boss, despite being an actual boss. In fact, this melts the entire cave of mobs as well in about 2 casts per kill (10 int) while avoiding the melee weapon type mechanic.

Submit

i beat this guy with a horn bow and normal fletched arrows.

Submit

Slashing/Piercing bounce off of crystilized enemies like him in the Altus tunnel, Striking does not

Submit

Who wrote these tips? get the ash from miles away to do this boss near the beginning. its like saying come back later when you are level 50 or something instead of giving helpful advise.

Submit

Two handing is definitely the way to go

Submit

Just used Magic Glintblade to kill this guy. Just sent 5 shots, drank a flask and a few more shots. Fight lasted about 6 seconds. Glintblade stuns the heck out of him.

Submit

This is how Giants in DS3 should behave

Submit

I summoned Noble Sorcerer Ashes, and used a flail. The weaker hit seemed to do pretty good damage on the troll. Just get in there enough to keep the troll's interest on you instead of the sorcerer. He won't do a crazy amount of damage, but he'll help. I didn't have any other good ashes at the time of this fight.

Submit

Just two-hand. Using two hands on my Lordsworn Greatsword, there was no bouncing and he went down fast.

Submit

Easiest boss ever once you target the groin

Submit

just use Bloody slash, it demolished the one in atlus

Submit

the pinwheel of this game

Submit

Two-handing seems to prevent bouncing - Club in one hand bounced, in two hands it did not. Bandit's Curved Sword also bounced in one hand, but did not in two.
Recommendation: Battle Hammer with Braggart's Roar; fully charged, roar-buffed two-handed attacks ruined the health bar.

Submit

For the Old Altus Tunnel one, you can kill it with 2-3 well-placed fire pots. (On the barrels)

Submit

Extremely weak to holy magic

Submit

didnt drop club

Submit

his superslam attack is so stupid

Submit

He is weak to bone arrows.

Submit

"Because your attacks bounce of him after one hit, this can be a frustrating fight for melee characters." My dude, use a blunt weapon like a club. Only pointed or bladed weapons bounce.

Submit

Easy miniboss

Submit

Are blunt weapons the way to go with this one? Slashing and piercing seems to just bounce off him.

Submit

weak to bleed

Submit

Use spirit jellyfish ashes to get a distraction+tanky summon+it stops troll easily sometimes it makes him fall for a long time. I tried 20 times without jelfish and just one time with jellyfish..

Submit

he reminds me of the last giant from ds2
