| 10 | You will encounter 2 more Ice Trolls. They will be preparing to turn Folan into soup. You can play a game of riddles, or you can choose to fight 3 Ice Trolls. The correct answer to the riddle is the dialogue choice [It's trolls]. Saving Folan will reward you with 200 XP. |

If you choose to free Vigi, you will need to get to the drawer near the giant to get the key then back to the cage to unlock it. Avoid stepping on the snow as it will wake up the giant and start the fight. Freeing Vigi will give you 200 XP. |

The Lord of Undvik Tips and Strategies
Finding Nails for Octo
Boards with lootable nails can be found in the ship graveyard located along the shore of the harbor north of Undvik. It is located near the eastern mountain range, on the right side of the giant barricade. Just follow the wall on the right of the barrice to the north; you will see the planks to your right.
More nails can be found in Dorve Ruins, the location you find Hjalmar fighting the Sirens. There are planks with nails outside the first house on the left when you enter the village. There is another pile of planks outside the house found in the middle of the village.
Using the Hornwall Horn Against Sirens
You can find the Hornwall Horn nearby the dead Clan an Craite warrior outside the cave with the ice trolls. It can be equipped to your pocket from the Quest Items in your inventory. Using it will make all nearby flying Sirens crash into the ground.
Fighting the Ice Giant
Attacks
| Basic Melee | Swings his arms to hit Geralt. Deals damage. |
|---|---|
| Charging Attack | Charges forward and swings his arms at Geralt. Deals damage and is a multi-hit attack. |
| Slam Attack | Jumps up and slams its fists in front of it. |
| Stomp Attack | Stomps its feet dealing damage in area around its foot. |
| Anchor Slam | Swings the anchor into the ground. Deals damage and has a long range. |
Troll Riddle Solution
The Troll's riddle is Lots eats, lots drinks. Big he be, steps big he, big he bash
. As you may expect, the correct answer is a troll.
Strategy
Preparing Ogroid Oil will help you deal more damage. The Ice Giant's movement and attacks are slow. Try to get in 2-3 hits, then prepare to dodge. All of its attacks are obviously telegraphed so it will not be too hard to dodge them.
If you do still have a hard time dodging them, you can use Yrden to slow the giant even more. Igni will do a lot of burn damage when the giant is hit, so use it whenever you can for good damage. And Quen can block the damage if the giant does hit you.
When the giant has almost lost 1/3 of its health, a cutscene will play where it will pick an anchor as his weapon. With the anchor, the giant's attacks will be slamming down the anchor, basic melee attacks, and a stomping attack. After that happens, keep a bit of distance and wait for the giant to do the anchor slam, then get in close for 3-4 hits.
