How to beat the Stonedigger Troll in Elden Ring

Stonedigger Troll boss fight Elden Ring
The Stonedigger Troll may deal a lot of damage, but it is very slow.

The Stonedigger Troll may deal a lot of damage when it lands a hit, but due to its overall size, this boss is on the slower side. In fact, dodging its Great Club is fairly simple as long as you have enough stamina. 

When you first enter the arena, the Stonedigger Troll will be in the center of the room. This gives you the perfect opportunity to barrage it with ranged attacks, spells, and summon a Spirit. 

Once you’ve done the above, you’ll want to roll under its legs and begin attacking the troll from behind. Stick to one of the troll’s legs and constantly hit it with any melee attacks, dodging towards the opposite leg just as it’s about to stomp.

If you’ve done enough damage, the Stonedigger Troll will topple over, giving you enough time to run over to its head to deliver a high-damage stab. As soon as the rocky giant gets up, continue switching between its legs, avoiding any leg stomps and using the roll to dodge the club swings. 

If you’re a ranged class, then you’ll want to continuously keep your distance, and attack only when the troll misses one of its mighty club slams. If you follow these tips outlined above, you should be able to take down the Stonedigger Troll with ease.
