Painted Trolls...
   

...suck. Just wanted to say that. Damn that quest was hard. I sort of cheesed it in the end but I was starting to get desperate.

Just apply the poison, provided by the painter, to your weapon and they die in 1-2 hits. You have just enough poison to complete the quest.

Heh. I tried that quest at 3rd level.

It ended...badly. Thankfully I had a save outside the painting.

It did show me that definitely not *all* encounters are leveled to you. That one sure wasn't (although I think they did level *up* to me when I came back much later...but it was doable then with the poison).

Yes, painted trolls suck. Oh and they sure didn't die in 2 hits for me (at 12th lvl or so I believe). I had to smack each one with 2 doses of poison and still whack on them a little bit after that (I just avoided one of them by sneaking over some rocks). They definitely put up a fight (skills and gear probably has something to do with it though).

At level 5 -- and as far as I could tell -- my thief marksman couldn't dent them at all (at least, not noticeably before I died ). So, I had to rely on the turpentine and that took 3x shots for me, which meant I could only handle 2 trolls in the whole quest with the 6x turps provided. It took quite a bit of work to only face two trolls.

Playing a mage and had no problem at level 2 with them - they are quite sensible to fire. Took 2 casts of fire damage 25 each.

It was too difficult for me being at level 2 battlemage and all I kept running out the poison the painter gave me, so what I did was I turned around and jumped on the hills killed one painted troll and I found the corpse.

I took a shortcut passed three of them.

This is strange -- sorry for the bump, but I just noticed this -- as I did this quest at level 2, and it was extremely easy. I was rather dissapointed by the difficulty of the quest. I used sneak, made sure they didn't see me (rather hard since they were very aggro), applied the poison and shot them. Took me one shot with the poison and a random one. Took them out one by one and even had 1 Terpentine left.

Lvl 4 Deathmage: wasted 1 turpentine, don't know why. The area is full of jumpable rocks, just climb/jump on one and waste them with spells/bow/summoned creatures or a combination. They can't reach you in most cases.


--------
At the moment: Lvl 11, 658 skill upgrades, about 60 skill-ups per level. F1 to see yours.

Found it too easy myself as a mage; they rarely got close to me!! Spells are more powerful than bows!!

I solved this quest around level 20 - as a reguard warrior I had no problems with going into close fighting.

No need for silly thingies like turpentine or magic.

This is one of the reasons why this game is not close to perfection.

Yes, but as a mage there is access to some great protection spells...?

I was disappointed at how easily they went down to fire - and how many sweet vantage points there were ... but I thought that quest was *sweet* ...
