Armored Trolls are tamed trolls that appear in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard. They serve as additional infantry in the Dawnguard's crusade against Vampires. Gunmar conceived the concept when fighting a troll and wondering what could be worse. The armored troll was his answer.

InteractionsEdit

Armored trolls can be hired from Gunmar for 500 if the Dragonborn refused Lord Harkon's offer at the end of Bloodline. However, having a dog or Serana as a follower will cause Gunmar to deny the purchase. When an armored troll is purchased at higher levels, the Dragonborn may receive an armored frost troll.

Once hired, they will act as regular followers, but only accept basic commands, which are wait, follow and leave. If ordered to wait for an extended period of time, they will leave the Dragonborn's service and return to the wild. They will become hostile if attacked, but can be calmed if the weapon is sheathed.

After the completion of A New Order, a small wooden enclosure housing three armored trolls will be created in Fort Dawnguard. If the Dawnguard are joined, two will help with storming Castle Volkihar during Kindred Judgement.

TriviaEdit

• It is possible to acquire an armored troll if the Dragonborn is aligned with the Volkihar Vampires. However, to do so requires a high level illusion spell, such as Harmony or dual cast Pacify. The quest Destroying the Dawnguard must be active. Enter Fort Dawnguard and cast either spell. If the spell is powerful enough, the Dawnguard members will not be hostile and will, moreover, allow conversation and bartering. (This will also allow the purchase of crossbow bolts and spell tomes, normally available only to members of the Dawnguard.) Once pacified, Gunmar will allow purchase even with Serana as a follower 
• If any armored trolls are still alive after the end of Kindred Judgement, they will remain outside Castle Volkihar, near the boat landing.
• Randomly, there will be an armored troll outside Fort Dawnguard.
• Sometimes, Gunmar will let you hire a troll, even if Serana is your follower. 
• When fighting against a wild Troll, it may roar at your own Armored Troll; if your (and his) level is low enough, your pet may flee and hide until the fight ends.

BugsEdit

•  PS3   360   When Gunmar is asked for an armored troll, he may say that the Dragonborn already has a creature following them when they do not.
  • Solution: Go to Meeko's Shack, recruit Meeko and then tell him to go home.
