‘Troll 2’ ending explained: How do they bring down Megatroll?

Troll 2 really wanted people to have no breathing room, as it jumped straight into the madness from the very beginning. You sit down thinking you will have some buildup of the movie to ease into it, and suddenly Megatroll is basically twitching back to life as if the world’s deadliest alarm clock went off right into his ear. And everyone in that lab is just… standing there… pretending this is fine. As if a skyscraper-sized creature casually waking up is normal workplace stuff. Makes you wonder, are we living on the same planet?

And Nora? Oh, she is a whole situation. The woman has been hiding away, living in full academic goblin mode. She is obsessing over troll lore like she is studying for an exam no one assigned. And then Andreas shows up with the vibe that she has found something, and Nora has no choice but to snap out of it because, apparently, the universe decided she is the only one who can handle this mess.

So they go to Vemork, and the silence in that place? If we had to explain in one word, unwell. Everyone is tiptoeing around Megatroll’s giant stone body like he is a sleeping relative who will absolutely kill them if they wake him up. And of course, Nora wanders right up to him because apparently, she behaves like she is scared of nothing.

And the wildest part begins when he wakes up.

So… who actually woke him up?

Short answer? Nora. It was literally Nora. Long answer? Oh, buckle up because this is where the movie fully leans into the crazy storyline.

Here is what really happens: everyone in that lab is walking on eggshells around Megatroll, trying not to breathe too loudly, touching nothing, doing nothing… And then Nora strolls in. She reaches out, places her hand on his rocky chest, and then, because she has zero self-preservation instincts left, she hums. Just a soft, tiny hum. Like she is trying to soothe a toddler, not a mountain-sized being.

And he wakes up. Not because some machine malfunctioned. Not because someone pressed the wrong button. He wakes up because Nora basically whispered good morning directly into his soul. The trolling equivalent of being kissed awake, except instead of a fairy tale prince, it is a giant creature.

And the thing is… this is not a one-time fluke. Later, we find out Nora has this whole emotional frequency connection with trolls. Basically, when she hums, they respond. She panics, and they sense it. She listens, and they listen back. So yeah, the answer is not science or magic or an accident. It is just Nora being the world’s most stressed-out, reluctant troll whisperer.

How do they finally bring down Megatroll?

So the final takedown? It is pure madness because everyone is running out of ideas, and Megatroll, on the other hand, is walking through buildings like they are cardboard. The holy water works a little, the bells annoy him, but the guy is still stomping toward Trondheim like he has a personal vendetta against the entire country. Nothing is slowing him down long enough to actually stop him.

And just when everyone is convinced this is it, Beautiful crawls back out of nowhere. He throws himself at Megatroll and actually holds his ground for a bit. And that gives Nora’s team the opening they desperately needed to try the truly insane plan, which was getting the last water bomb inside Megatroll instead of wasting it on the outside.

Which is how we end up with a helicopter hovering over a furious skyscraper-sized troll and Andreas deciding he is just going to… jump straight into Megatroll’s mouth. Because apparently that is what the day requires now. He drops in with the bomb, it explodes from the inside, holy water floods Megatroll’s system, and the unstoppable monster literally crumbles. Beautiful finishes the job with one brutal final hit, and that is the moment the entire tide turns.
