Troll has 600 health and spawns in Black Forest.
It takes extra damage from pierce; it resists blunt; spirit does nothing to it at all. Slash lands at full damage, so that is what to bring.
Its hardest hit is groundslam at 70 blunt, out of 5 attacks.
Of everything craftable, 
Thunderblood Crossbow, 
Frostfire Crossbow and 
Nord Crossbow put the most damage through what it resists.
It always drops 
Coins and 
Troll Hide.
Troll is a large Black Forest creature that spawns day and night and lives in Troll Caves. It has 600 health, resists blunt, is immune to spirit, and is weak to pierce, with the head very weak to pierce on top, so arrows to the face are the quickest kill. Two thirds spawn unarmed and punch for 60 blunt every 4 seconds, slam for 70 every 20, and throw boulders for 50 from 8 to 20 meters away, a move that stops if you stay close; the other third carries a log and swings it for 60 to 70 blunt across arcs of 9 to 10 meters every 6 seconds. Every one of those attacks carries tier 2 chop and pickaxe damage, which is what levels buildings and fells trees around the fight. It always drops 5 Troll Hide and 20 to 30 Coins, with a 
Troll Trophy at 50%.
They are weak to pierce and resistant to blunt, so a 
Finewood Bow with 
flinthead arrows is the classic troll kit. Kite through dense trees; their bulk snags on everything. Blocking works only with a 
Bone Tower Shield and a full health bar, and parrying is a gamble not worth taking early. Fighting one naked with a bow earns hide for the whole armor set and is a Valheim rite of passage.

Each 64 m zone keeps its own timer per entry and rolls the chance once per interval while loaded; a zone never loaded before rolls the moment you arrive. The spawn lands 40 to 80 m from a player, never inside a base unless noted, and "max near you" counts the loaded area around that zone. Dungeon and camp spawners are separate and not counted here.
With devcommands enabled, this spawns Troll in front of you. The third number is the level: 3 spawns a 2-star.
