Can you build a base in a troll cave in Valheim?

Yes, you can build a base in a troll cave in Valheim, which makes an excellent foundation for an outpost since no matter how strong the attack, you cannot be reached in any way if you retreat inside the cave, and objects placed in the chests inside the cave are absolutely secure. Building a base in a troll cave provides a safe haven and can be a strategic location for accessing valuable resources and defending against enemies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Defending Against Trolls and Building Bases
