All About Troll Bogeys in Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy is set in the late 1800s Wizarding World where you play a customized student unraveling an ancient secret that could destroy the world. Along the way, you‘ll master spells, tame beasts, and craft potions as an aspiring young wizard or witch.
The Harry Potter series has featured some iconic trolls like the ferocious Mountain Troll that Harry and Ron narrowly defeated. Hogwarts Legacy continues that tradition by including different troll varieties like:
- Forest Trolls – Large green trolls that live in the woods and drop creature parts.
- River Trolls – Aquatic trolls found near water that drop algae and fish.
- Armored Trolls – Heavily protected trolls guarding treasure and troll bogeys.
Trolls may look big and dumb, but they have vicious strength and should not be underestimated! Always come prepared with your best spells and gear when troll hunting.
Now let‘s discuss the valuable loot you‘re after – troll bogeys!
Troll bogeys are a mucus secretion gathered from fallen trolls. While completely disgusting, troll bogeys are a critical ingredient used to brew helpful potions like:
- Invisibility potions – Makes you unseen for sneaking around.
- Focus potions – Boosts spell damage against tough enemies.
As you can see, securing a supply of troll bogeys will give you an edge when exploring Hogwarts Legacy‘s dangerous world!
Farming Troll Bogeys from the Armored Troll
While all trolls have a chance to drop troll bogeys, the most reliable source is by far the Armored Troll located at the Medium Bandit Camp in Coastal Cavern.
The Armored Troll is a miniboss who drops troll bogeys every time he‘s defeated. By repeatedly farming this troll, you can stock up on plenty of bogeys for brewing.
Here‘s exactly how to find the Armored Troll and his precious bogeys:
- Travel east from Hogwarts into the Coastal Cavern region
- Follow the coastline south until you come across a cave guarded by bandits
- Defeat the bandits and enter the Medium Bandit Camp
- Head to the back of the cave and defeat the Armored Troll behind barricades
- Loot the Armored Troll‘s body to collect troll bogeys!
I recommend being at least level 12 before taking on the Armored Troll solo. But don‘t worry, I‘ll walk you through battle strategies for each Hogwarts house to easily defeat him.
Slytherin Strategies
As a cunning Slytherin, make use of your strong Dark Magic spells from a distance. Spam Confringo, Impedimenta, and other high DPS spells while avoiding the Armored Troll‘s attacks. You can also use Transfiguration to turn rocks and debris into serpents to distract him. With clever tactics, the Armored Troll will fall quickly.
Gryffindor Tactics
Brave Gryffindors should get up close and personal with Incendio to melt the Armored Troll‘s armor. Dodge his swings then counterattack with powerful Charms like Bombarda. Rely on health potions to recover if he lands a hit. A confident offense backed by courage will win the day!
Ravenclaw Approach
For wise Ravenclaws, maintain distance and use Revelio to identify the Armored Troll‘s weaknesses. Target his unarmored back with powerful elemental spells, then finish him quickly with Levioso to lift and drop the Troll‘s massive club onto himself! Outsmart the Troll with wits.
Hufflepuff Methodology
Patient badgers should play defensively by casting Protego, followed by rapid attacks in between the Troll‘s swings. Lead him around the arena to avoid his charges and club attacks. Then apply Deadly Bloom hexes to poison and whittle him down safely. A steadfast defense leads to victory!
See the Armored Troll section in my general Hogwarts Legacy troll guide for more details on each house‘s recommended gear, spells, and step-by-step ability rotations to use when confronting the Armored Troll.
No matter which Hogwarts house you picked, you‘ll be victorious and loaded with troll bogeys in no time!
Respawning the Armored Troll
Once you‘ve defeated the Armored Troll, he won‘t respawn immediately. But there‘s an easy farming technique you can use:
- Clear out the entire Medium Bandit Camp.
- Fast travel to a different region like Hogsmeade.
- After a few minutes, fast travel back to the Coastal Cavern.
- The Armored Troll and bandits should have respawned for you to farm again!
Repeat this process as many times as you need to stock up on troll bogeys.
Brewing Invisibility and Focus Potions
Let‘s look at the two extremely useful potions you can craft using troll bogeys:
Invisibility Potion
- Adds invisibility effect for 60 seconds.
- Hide from enemies and sneak past unseen!
- Crafting ingredients:
- Troll Bogeys x3
- Pitcher Stem x1
- Spider Fang x2
- Shrivelfig x1
- Water x1
Focus Potion
- Boosts spell damage by 20% for 30 seconds.
- Perfect for taking down bosses or difficult enemies.
- Crafting ingredients:
- Troll Bogeys x2
- Fluxweed x1
- Armadillo Bile x1
- Water x1
I recommend keeping a steady supply of both these potions on hand to give you an extra edge when you need it. Their temporary effects can really save you in challenging situations!
Where Else to Find Troll Bogeys
Along with the Armored Troll, here are a couple other methods to grab extra troll bogeys:
- Loot random non-armored trolls like Forest and River trolls. The drop rate is not 100% guaranteed, but they may cough up some bogeys now and then.
- Complete the level 12 story quest "The Helm of Urtkot" which rewards troll bogeys upon finishing.
So if you ever need more bogeys in a pinch, try hunting normal trolls in the overworld or progressing through main story quests.
But for a steady troll bogey farming source, definitely stick to repeatedly defeating the Armored Troll at Coastal Cavern.
Selling Extra Troll Bogeys for Profit
End up with too many extra troll bogeys? Don‘t worry, they can be sold for some nice coin!
Find a vendor like J. Pippin in Hogsmeade and you can sell each troll bogey for around 50 coins. Not a huge amount, but it adds up if you have surplus bogeys.
Every ingredient and loot item has some sale value in Hogwarts Legacy, so always offload your excess materials before fast traveling. More coins means more gear and cosmetics!
In Summary
Hopefully this guide has prepped you to start farming troll bogeys efficiently. Here are the key takeaways:
- Troll bogeys are needed to craft invisibility and focus potions.
- Repeatedly beat the Armored Troll at Coastal Cavern for endless troll bogeys.
- Use the respawn technique to quickly amass loads of bogeys.
- Brew powerful potions to increase stealth and spell damage.
- Check random troll loot drops and story rewards for extra bogeys.
- Cash in surplus bogeys for profit at vendors.
Now get out there, defeat some trolls, and let me know when you‘ve brewed your first invisibility potion! I can‘t wait to hear about your troll bogey hunting adventures in Hogwarts Legacy. Good luck!
