R u srs? ANet is really running out of ideas aren't they...does it ask for a 5-plat crossing fee also? >.> (T/C) 19:46, 8 September 2007 (CDT)


 * Fortunetly, no... but i think this is a link to the King's Quest series? I remeber a certain Bridge Troll there aswell.--Cosmitz 11:22, 11 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Indeed. King's Quest 1 had a huge island with Rumpelstiltskin living on it. You needed a carrot and a goat to defeat the bridge troll.

I have a screenie - pm me ingame if you can tell me how to integrate it into the article (Not Okay I Promise)  X Deity X 17:08, 10 September 2007 (CDT)

In Monkey Island I there was a Bridge Troll. He demanded a Herring as fee. I think the whole scene looks very equal. I wonder what is happening if you take one Herring to this Troll. --Random42 18:16, 11 September 2007 (CDT)

I was thinking, Three Billy Goats Gruff. -- Xeon 00:11, 15 September 2007 (CDT)

 * (edit conflict) The Billy Goats fable came LONG before King's Quest or Monkey Island. It was the first thing I thought of as well. *shrug* -Kamiawolf 22:20, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course it's the Three Billy Goats Gruff - pretty much the origin of all bridge-residing trolls in modern literature. Interestingly, see also Fremont Troll - not a million miles away from ANet's HQ? -- Snog  rat [[Image:User Snograt signature.png]] 22:19, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Very much so the gruff story (too lazy to write it out). Go Billeh Gotes. [[Image:PaintballerSig.jpg]] The Paintballer (T/C) 22:32, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you seriously whining about this Ent? What's wrong with humour?

I was doing the Cipher of Grenth and I encountered this thing. Almost died laughing. Zulu Inuoe 19:32, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Trivia
Aren't bridge trolls fairly common? I'm certain I've heard of them outside the cone=text of that specific fairy tale... Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  00:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I haven't met one in real life, but if you have an example I can fix the trivia with it. This is the oldest place I've heard of it, to my knowledge. Ephidel 00:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I already di change it to be less specific, it's like a bunch of other trivia that's actually a common phrase. [[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  00:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You obviously don't play enough Dungeons and Dragons. Wait...am I a nerd for saying that? 74.14.144.91 17:57, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Very much so, but we're all nerds for posting on GuildWiki, so don't sweat it.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]]Entrea Sumatae  [Talk]  22:26, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd define it as dorks, tbh. --Shadowcrest 22:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I know Guild Wars loves Monty Python - Wasn't there a sketch like this in the Holy Grail?

Skills
This troll's skills suck. If anyone could check if he has some more... J Striker 08:53, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Blocking
You cannot cross the bridge without fighting him. What keeps you from pulling him away and running past?-- 23:06, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe his aggro radius won't let him be pulled that far? --Powersurge360 23:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Wait a second, I've run right past this guy on many occasions. He chases you, sure, but you certainly don't have to fight him. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 23:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed it to "without aggroing him." This may or may not be useful information, but it's better than saying "fighting." DancingZombies [[Image:DZSig1.jpg]] 03:23, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
