I'm at the point that where I'm about to scream every time I see a troll. It's the only creature that can consistently pummel me to death. I have a stealth character, so I don't do much damage. Even if I manage to sneak attack it, if I doesn't kill the troll on the first blow (which I don't) they just regenerate health so fast that I can't kill them. Any suggestions other than wimping out and lowering the difficulty?

Fire poison is definitely the way to go! goodjob.gif

Shoot it, then run like hell and wait until it dies. Also, shooting from a dark spot and then, as soon as you fire, seeking cover so it can't see you helps greatly.

Is it possible to go stealth after the troll has seen you? It's always seemed to me that once someone sees you, you can't hide without something like invisibility. Am I missing something?

Hint:
If you're hiden in a shadow and VERY long distance,you can shot creatures and they won't detect you.They will just stand there wondering where did it come from.But this requires a high sneak skill,and as i said it must be done from a very long distance. wink.gif

Also when you shot an arrow to a Troll get out of there quickly but not while in runing mode!Stay in stealth mode and move yourself out of sight,somewhere in the shadow.The Troll will come,but if you hiden yourself well and you're lucky you will stay undetected wink.gif

But once he's seen you....It's very hard to lose his trail exept with an Invisibility spell or if you run away long enough from him smile.gif
