Inhabitants of the wizarding world enjoy conducting dangerous experiments in Hogwarts Legacy. Alexandra Ricketts tried to educate a troll, unsuccessfully, and he now threatens to attack the village. As always, it’s up to a reckless and bloodthirsty student to fix the situation, to get some rewards in the wizard guide. Some collect stamps and shells, others the heads of their enemies, but also dubious cosmetic hats, each to their own taste.

Where can I find the quest against the trolls?
This quest is unlocked by talking to Alexandra Ricketts in the hamlet of Bourg-Garenne, southeast of Hogwarts. She is standing in front of her house. While she won’t ask you to personally kill him, she would appreciate it being resolved. Level 25 is recommended to do it.
The troll is only a few hundred meters away, a little further south of the hamlet, the continuation of the quest will take you there without any problems.
Hogwarts Legacy Trolls: How do you defeat these tough enemies?
One of the most formidable enemies in the new Harry Potter licensed game is clearly a big brute with an oversized bat. In this guide, discover techniques, tips and advice to defeat the different types of trolls more easily.
How to defeat Alexandra’s troll?
At this point in the game you should be used to facing trolls, but it’s still easy to get surprised by their pretty varied attacks. We recommend that you take advantage of the terrain, such as trees and nearby rocks, while keeping your distance. Because the troll is a large, clumsy enemy, it has difficulty getting around in this environment. Instead, he will tend to use his Rock Throw attack, which has the advantage of being very predictable and easy to parry with Protego. You just need to track down R1 to send his projectile back to him, or use Stupefix afterwards. If you have the Avada Kedavra spell you can also kill him instantly.

You just have to go back and talk to Alexandra afterwards. The dialogue choices are almost unimportant and it is not possible to get money from him. You unlock an item in the bestiary and a troll hat. You can also take a trip to the troll’s cabin, near where you confronted him, to collect Alexandra’s research notes.
