About this quest

We will be hunting for trolls in Østmarka, the forest east of Oslo.

The Christmas troll is a subspecies of the common Norwegian forest troll. These trolls live close to cities and can be lured with an offering of Christmas ornaments.

- Bad Weather: Suitable clothing and good shoes as the forest gets slippery.
- Good weather: A water bottle, the uphill part of the route can get exhausting.
