Hack and slash them down, pausing to block as they beat feebly against your shield. Krujen can be found in grassy hollows and wooded areas early in the game. Troll Trolls are big, lumbering beasts who guard bridges and other such mundane structures. Trolls are thick-skinned, so they take quite a few whacks to lay low. Guard and let them hit you, then quickly slice three times before going back to guarding.
Trolls are slow, but they pack a punch, so be sure to get that shield up.
Goblin You first encounter the Goblin species in Dusk Lake. Guard and slash. You can usually get two hits in before guarding. If you come upon a group of them, guard against the first hit, then dish a hit, then guard, or you will take damage from the second assailant. On the whole, Goblins are fairly weak.
