[[Troll]]s can be assigned as a [[slayer task]] at 60 [[combat level]] by various [[Slayer master]]s. Trolls are, for the most part, found in the [[Fremennik Province]] and north of [[Burthorpe]].

Trolls fought in [[quests]] all count towards the slayer task. The [[boss]]es can be fought again in the [[Nightmare Zone]].

Trolls tend to have [[High Level Alchemy|alchable]] drops. The exceptions to this are the bosses and [[thrower trolls]] found in [[Trollheim]] and [[Death Plateau (location)|Death Plateau]].

Players who have completed the [[Morytania Diary#Hard|hard Morytania Diary]] might want to bring the [[bonecrusher]] to gain passive [[Prayer]] experience from the [[big bones]] drops. Players with 92 [[Magic]] and the [[Arceuus spellbook]] may use the [[Sinister Offering]] spell. Arguably, it is still worth it to cast this spell upon big bones.

==Mountain Trolls==
Players wishing to finish their troll task rapidly, or without access to [[Ice troll|Ice Trolls]] may kill [[Thrower Troll|thrower trolls]] on [[Death Plateau (location)|Death Plateau]] using the [[Multicombat area|multi-way combat]] [[dwarf multicannon]] method.

Players can place their cannons in-between the thrower trolls rock stacks in the multiway combat area, and stand one tile back in the single-way combat area, thus allowing the player to use [[Protection prayers|ranged protection prayers]] while attacking thrower trolls with a ranged weapon and simultaneously cannon the 4 spawns, while rendering the melee type trolls unable to attack. 

Players who wish to turn a profit or maximize experience rates are usually discouraged from using this method due to the costs of running prayer potions along side the dwarf multicannon, although this method can allow players to finish a large, 100+ troll task in near 20 minutes.

While not as fast as other burst tasks due to their slower respawn rate and non-zero magic defence, players can kill the mountain trolls in the multicombat area immediately south of [[Mount Quidamortem|Mount Quidamortem]] at reasonable speed with [[Burst spells|burst]] or [[Barrage spells|barrage]] spells.

==Ice trolls==
[[File:Ice troll cannon spot.png|thumb|A player cannoning ice trolls on [[Jatizso]].]]
One of the most common troll task locations is done north of [[Jatizso]] using a [[Dwarf multicannon]]. A [[Neitiznot shield]] is '''strongly''' recommended because it reduces the max hit of the [[ice troll female]] [[Ranged]] attacks from 6 to 2. Bring [[Prayer potion]]s to use [[Protect from Melee]] (if using the Neitiznot Shield), as well as [[food]] to heal from the Ranged damage. Prayer potions may not be necessary if using the [[bonecrusher necklace]]. [[Ice troll]]s have some decent alchable drops including [[Runite]] equipment.

==Requirements==
*Completion of {{SCP|Quest}} [[The Fremennik Isles]] for access to [[Jatizso]].
*Completion of {{SCP|Quest}} [[Dwarf Cannon]] to be able to use a [[Dwarf multicannon]].

==Recommendations==
*Medium [[combat]] stats. See the skill levels below for an indication of the advised stats:
*Level {{SCP|Attack|60}} or higher.
*Level {{SCP|Strength|60}} or higher.
*Level {{SCP|Prayer|43}} or higher for [[Protect from Melee]].

==Equipment==

Ice trolls have lower defence against Stab/Crush, therefore it is recommended to use a weapon with this attack style.
Wearing a [[bonecrusher necklace]] you can sustain [[protect from melee]]. You can pray [[piety]] to speed up the kills.
It is recommended to pray [[protect from melee]] because the [[Neitiznot shield]] reduces the damage from ranged attacks.
