Beside from what has already been mentioned above, here are some additional list of qualities that a troll hunter must have:

Troll hunting is such a very dangerous task that a slight mistake can take the hunter's life away. In the Troll Hunter movie, there were numerous times where the hunter nearly got killed despite being the best and experienced hunter of Norway.

2. You do not believe in Christianity.

If you are a very religious person then troll hunting activity is not for you. Thus, all troll hunters are non-Christian believers. You have to know that trolls have better senses when it comes to dealing with a certain religious individual particularly those with 'Christian Blood'.

3. Knowledge about the trolls.

It is very important that you need to have a broad knowledge about troll creatures. There are actually several species of them that most are yet to be identified. By having the right knowledge about these creatures, you already know how to deal and handle a certain situation when you come across one of them on your exploration.

4. Ability to think and devise a clever plan.

Above all, your best weapon against the trolls is your capability to think. Before you embark for a troll hunt, you must have already devised a plan. Your plan should include how you are able to capture your prey but if you failed then you must have an escape plan.

By having courage, experience, survival skill and the other four qualities mentioned above, you have what it takes to be a troll hunter.
