Troll Queen Hilda

Troll Queen Hilda is missing. The 30 October 2026 dev diary says she made a choice that shattered and divided the whole realm, then went into self-exile. Her whereabouts are unknown, and the Dark Forest is in trouble because of it. The same paragraph says rumour has it you may have been the last one to see her.

What the diary actually gives you

That is the whole public sheet. No height, no hit points, no arena and no quest marker. She is a troll queen in a world where Skóug Trolls are three meters tall and Sprýg Gnomes are about 10 centimeters. The night scene used with her name shows the scale the studio wants you to feel: a gnome in the foreground, a horned silhouette filling the gap between trunks. Treat the silhouette as her presentation in that diary, not as a boss model with published attacks.

She is not a boss. Bosses is empty of named fights on purpose. Hunting her in the playtest will not complete a meter the game has not announced. Progression in the test ends before Birch Trees anyway, and Birch Trees is not described as her door.

How she fits the Revel

You are part of the Last Revel, gnomes who left Midgård when Oden's corruption took their home. Hilda's choice is the other wound, inside Trollheim itself. The diary sets both troubles next to Rotinn, the decay that corrupts plants, animals and Väsen in this Second Age of the Trollheim Saga. Rotinn divides families and breeds isolation. Hilda's exile leaves a divided realm and no published whereabouts. The themes the studio names are connection with yourself, with each other and with nature. Finding kin, and living with Väsen, is the play. Chasing a queen who is written as gone is not the first goal.

Story puts Oden, the Last Revel, Hilda and Rotinn in one line so you can see they are the same tale. Väsen holds the people who are still in the forest with you.

What to do during the playtest

Do not build a search party for Hilda. Befriending is off, not every Väsen is present, and the studio has not tied her to a playtest objective. The quest the official screenshot prints is Climbing Spryg Gnome, objective Find the Gnome. That is a gnome, not the queen. Climb, finish a shelter, and keep your friends textured by saving properly.

If a huge horned figure does appear in your world, give it space. Fights are exaggerated in this build. A picture of a strange spawn, plus the map view, is the report the studio asked for. Send it through feedback. Then go home.

Verdict: Remember Hilda as the absent queen whose choice split the realm. Do not spend the playtest looking for her. Spend it reuniting gnomes. The rumor that you saw her last is a story hook for Early Access, not a waypoint.
