Summary

Elden Ringis full of many strange sights, but one that most players will recognise is the carriages being pulled by two huge trolls. They’re slow, and only really good for looting, but they’re there all the same, dotted aroundThe Lands Between.

However, if you were to, for some reason, spend an ungodly amount of time following them around the map, where would they end up? Well, YouTuber and Elden Ring player ShaggyMcSwaggy had the same question and decided to put this to the test.

Where Do Those Troll Carts End Up In Elden Ring?

Thanks to the video, we get some interesting bits of info on how these carriages work. For starters, they will always follow the same path, regardless of your progress in the game orDLC. Whatever their task is, it stays the same every time, always ending in the same location.

As mentioned before, they also move incredibly slowly. Even when a carriage has an oddly short path, such as the one in Liurnia of the Lakes, it takes several minutes of stalking the procession to see where they end up.

The longest journey takes a little under 15 minutes and is found in the Consecrated Snowfield. But even with the relatively short travel time (although it probably feels way longer when you’re the one doing it), following the processions can be incredibly dangerous. Some guards follow the carriage, and others are found alongside the route, indicating some significance behind the journey.

On top of figuring out their destinations, ShaggyMcSwaggy also finds that they won’t move if you’re not close enough to them. So, you can’t just camp out at the final point in their journey and wait to ambush them - you will have to sneak alongside them as they travel.

It just goes to show that you could hyperfocus on probably any detail you come across in Elden Ring and find some significance behind it. Nothing would ever direct you to follow these carriages, but if you want, you can, and find that they have a little path set out for them. Just be prepared to fight - these guys really don’t want to give away their loot.
