Troll in the Mines

Troll in the Mines is a Potions quest given in Year 10. It is the first boss fight in the main questline, and many new players will encounter difficulty with it due to the single-player limitation, small size of the boss room, and Egor's massive health pool. However, it is one the best quests for farming points later in the game, as late-game spells will kill Egor in seconds and the quest rewards the highest tier of points.
== Description ==
"Seeing as the cave-in in the mines was caused by a rumbling, I think it's important to prevent this in the future. It's time to confront the troll deep in the mines."
== Objectives ==
# Take the rope deep into the mines and confront the Troll.
== Walkthrough ==
=== First Time Strategies ===
Once you walk into the boss room, you will be locked in until the fight ends. Egor the Troll will not be hostile until you either attack him or talk to him, but talking to him will just cause him to be hostile, so this is pointless.
To begin the fight, stand at the far end of the room away from Egor while he is still sitting down. Cast Encaseum Bombardo on him, which will not count as an attack, but will instantly trigger once he becomes hostile, getting you free damage. Then start casting powerful attack spells like Confringo, Rictusempra, and Bublio. Make sure to always have Hastio active as well. Continue casting spells at him until he is about to reach you, then use Artemio to dash to the other side of the room, turn around, and cast more spells. Repeat this pattern until he is dead, making sure not to dash too early. You want him to be walking as far as possible so that you can give Artemio time to refresh and so that you have more time to attack.
Tip: Gaia Murum can freeze Egor for a moment if cast at the right time (sometimes he can climb over it.) Cast it while he is walking towards you and getting close--too far away and he tends to walk right over it. If done right, he will walk into the rock wall, allowing you to stand safely behind and get free damage on him for the duration of the rock wall.
==== Cheese strategy ====
You can cheese Egor by using Anti-Gravity Potions to get on top of him and break his AI. Simply drink the potion and jump on the back of his neck, right behind his head. If you stand in the right spot his pathfinding will break and he will stand still, allowing you to easily defeat him.
=== Farming strategy ===
Once you have unlocked Focus spells, Egor can be defeated in seconds. Begin the fight by casting Encaseum Bombardo and Ignis Petra on his body, then once he becomes hostile, use Protego Diabolica while he is far away. He will try to walk into the ring of fire, but will be repelled constantly, and you can just stand there casting spells at him. Fulguritis wears down his health the fastest, so cast it as often as you can. If you are a quick caster, you can kill Egor before Protego Diabolica expires.
== Multiplayer ==
Multiple players cannot enter the boss room simultaneously, even by glitching through; using glitches to teleport inside while another player is fighting Egor will cause them to instantly be teleported outside the door. In order for multiple people to fight Egor at once, one player must defeat him to unlock the room, allowing one more person to pass through.
== Rewards ==
