Troll generals are huge and powerful trolls that live in the Troll Stronghold, on the top floor.

Troll generals can be very advantageous to kill as a higher-level choice when assigned trolls, as they have a reasonably high drop rate of law and nature runes, as well as high alch drops such as steel platebodies, adamant axes, rune warhammers, and granite shields.

Strategy

Troll generals have somewhat low accuracy on their attacks. However, high-tier melee armour (such as Barrows) is still recommended if not using prayer, as they can hit extremely hard (up to 38). Their attack speed of 4 (same speed as an Abyssal whip or a scimitar) can also prove deadly if they hit twice or thrice in a row. Therefore, use of the Protect from Melee prayer is strongly recommended if you're not using high-tier melee armour.

It is possible to use halberds, ranged, or magic attacks on the generals safely, as their large size allows them to be corner safespotted. Extreme caution is advised at all times, as they can leave their respective rooms, although this is a rare occurrence, and they only attack if the player walks right next to them. It is possible to poison them, run out of their range, and let the poison do most of the work.

Safespotting the troll in the central room, using his doorway

Safespotting the troll in the northern bedroom, using his bed.

To safespot the sword-wielding troll, attack it and run outside of his room, staying against the wall as shown above. If the troll gets stuck inside the room, run to the other side of the doorway. To safespot the northern troll general, attack and run to the tile next to the pillow end of the bed. If attempting to halberd and the troll gets caught on the bed move to the other tile.
