-{{Name}} is a legendary Troll encountered in the first Healing Pool level of {{Favilink | Bethesda Susa}}. He is the first of three legendary Trolls found there, the other two being {{Favilink | Fjorn-Kosef, Who Knits The Icy Lattice}} and {{Favilink | Haggabah, Who Plies The Umbral Path|}}. Jotun carries the {{Favilink | bronze key}} needed to unlock the door to the next floor down, which can be obtained by killing him or trading with him (among other ways).
+{{Name}} is a legendary [[trolls|troll]] encountered in the first Healing Pool level of {{favilink|Bethesda Susa}}. He is the first of the three legendary trolls found there, followed by {{favilink|Fjorn-Kosef, Who Knits The Icy Lattice}} and {{favilink|Haggabah, Who Plies The Umbral Path|}}.
-== Combat ==
+== Overview ==
-Jotun uses [[Axe|Axes]] to deal damage.
+Jotun lacks any unique special abilities, instead employing a variety of axes and relying on his high [[Strength]] and [[Agility]] in combat.
-In melee range he will use his {{favilink|two-handed folded carbide battle axe}} or {{favilink|two-handed carbide battle axe}}. Due to his high strength '''Jotun's''' attacks will have the maximum possible penetration with his axes ({{PV}}10 or {{PV}}9, respectively), which can cause significant damage to characters with [[AV]] lower than those values. He will also utilize the [[Charge]] ability to close distance. Alongside possible [[Dismember|dismemberment]], Jotun is able to use [[Hook and Drag]] and nullify any [[DV]] that his victims may have had. This makes Jotun very formidable in melee combat.
+=== Melee Combat ===
+Jotun always comes equipped a with {{favilink|two-handed folded carbide battle axe}} and a {{favilink|two-handed carbide battle axe}}. Jotun, like the other legendary trolls, has the unique property of being able to hold two-handed weapons in only one hand, allowing him to dual-wield these axes.<ref name="ObjectBlueprints><code>ObjectBlueprints.xml</code></ref> Due to his high Strength, attacks made using his axes will have the maximum possible [[PV]] value ({{PV}}10 and {{PV}}9, respectively).
-Like the other Troll bosses in Bethesda Susa, Jotun spawns a {{Favilink | Troll foal}} about every 15 turns, regardless if he sees the player or not.
+=== Skills ===
+To supplement his axes, Jotun possesses several axe skills including [[Axe Proficiency]], [[Cleave]], [[Hook and Drag]], and [[Dismember]]. He also has [[Offhand Strikes]] and [[Ambidexterity]], allowing him to make attacks with his secondary axe more often, as well as the [[Charge]] skill to enable him to quickly close the distance between him and his target. Finally, he possesses the [[Swimming]] skill, allowing him to move more quickly through the pools of {{favilink|convalessence}} found within his lair.<ref name="ObjectBlueprints"/>
 === Throwing Axes ===
-{{main|Throwing axe}}
+Jotun will always spawn with 16 {{favilink|throwing axe|plural}}, which he will utilize in [[thrown weapon combat]] if his target is outside of melee or Charge range. Due to his high Strength and Agility, he is able to throw his axes extremely far and accurately, very rarely missing his target. Each axe deals {{Heart}}{{dice tooltip|2d12}} damage and has a PV value of {{PV}}13. However, they do not benefit from any of Jotun's axe skills.
-At range, '''Jotun''' will use his {{Favilink | Throwing axe | plural}}. His high [[strength]] and [[agility]] allow him to throw his axes very far as well as accurately. Axes thrown will not trigger [[Axe|axe skills]] such as [[cleave]] or [[dismember]], but they can do significant damage due to their very high penetration rating ({{PV}}13).
+Jotun is notable for being the only legitimate source of throwing axes in the game.
+=== Budding ===
+Finally, like the other legendary trolls, Jotun will begin to [[budding|bud]] when the player is within the same zone as him, which will cause him to produce a {{favilink|troll foal}} in an adjacent tile after {{dice tooltip|1d5+11}} rounds. These foals are allied to Jotun and share his alignments, attacking anything hostile to him. Jotun will begin to bud again immediately after producing each troll foal; however, he cannot produce more foals if he is surrounded on all sides by creatures or walls, or if there are already 18 troll foals within the current zone.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts|class=TrollKing}}
+== Getting Past ==
+Jotun's lair has a small room located at the southwest corner containing {{favilink|stairs down}}, leading further into Bethesda Susa. The room is composed of {{favilink|marble wall|plural}}; entry is permitted through a bronze {{favilink|thick metal door}}, unlocked via a {{favilink|bronze key}}. One can always be found within Jotun's inventory, though such a key can also be obtained in other ways, notably as a reward from [[Village Quest|village quests]]. The key can be retrieved by killing Jotun, or by trading with him if the player's [[reputation]] with trolls is sufficiently high.
+Entering the room containing the stairs does not necessarily require the player to go through the door; they can also break the walls or circumvent them through other methods, such as [[phasing]] through them or [[Teleportation|teleporting]] past them. Additionally, creating stairs down using a {{favilink|spiral borer}} can allow the player to skip the room entirely.

 {{speculation}}
 * His name, Jotun, is very similar to [[wikipedia:Jötunn|Jötunn]], who are the race of frost giants in Norse mythology.
