Soko-Trolls are a special kind of monster that only appear in this map, they are impossible to kill trolls that only do one damage and run away from you everytime they get attacked. Inspired by sokoban, the player is expected to push every Level 1 Soko-Troll on the tile containing a rock emerging from lava, and then kill the Level 2 Soko-Troll.

In this guide the N/S/W/E handles will indicate the player position in respect of the Soko-Troll being "pushed"; They refer to the cardinal positon North (top), South (bottom), West (left), East (right).
