If you to do all of them in one go you will probably need to wait until you are at the beast but with UUG's set you can easily do the first two and with walderp's set you should not have any troubles with the third.

The third one is fairly important since it allows you to continue to upgrade your yggdrasil fruits from 10 to 24 and when you are at that point in the game you should already have a few fruits upgraded to 10 already (at least fruit of gold and pomegranate).
Given the formula for the fruits it is very beneficial to get them to rank 24 sooner, the fruit of wisdom in particular nets you a gigantic amount of exp when fully grown to rank 24 (especially with the two itopod perks).

The way to run that challenge is to go for very short rebirths (3 or 5 minutes), squeezing as many levels as possible in augments, blood magic (for the blood number spell) and wandoos.
When a big troll is coming, defeat as many bosses right before it hits and be ready to rebirth soon after (since it usually means you won't be able to progress further in that rebirth).
Having high energy and magic bars is nearly a requirement as you want to be able to use as much energy and magic as possible during those few minutes.

Although it's available early, it's better to wait until 4th Titan (UUG).
The new features (Gold Digger & Beards of Power) help you complete it faster.
Might want to delay 3rd Troll if you haven't leveled Ygg's Gold & Pomegranate to 10.

You gotta be fast and prepared when the trolls hit you.

1. Nuke Boss > Go to furthest Adventure Zone
2. Cap Time Machine
3. Cap Blood Ritual (Auto-Spell Blood NUMBER Boost)
4. Cap Augment (Energy Buster & Upgrade if possible. The Badly Drawn Gun helps)
5. Cap Stat Digger (& Wandoos if you still have spare Energy/Magic)
6. If ever you believe your work is done
7. then you'll start back at one

Remember to use Magic Beards (Fu Manchu, Reverse Hitler, and Ladybeard)

If you can't make up the loss before the next small troll hits... soldier on.
Or try again later with bigger E/M stats.
(The 50 Prompts troll, if you have nothing to do, wait it out for the next small troll)

Big Troll, hope you got Random Menu or Blue Screen.
You could "cheat" the Big Troll but:

Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.
It's sad that you don't know the difference.

If that is how you feel, don't hover on the following black bar.

as reference, I have just defeated Walderp's final form for the first time and went to do the first two troll challenges in a row, which took me about 40 minutes for the first and 1 hour 20 for the second - totally worth it for those sweet upgrades although some might say it was too early to do them

[Elenoe]

it was :) you could have waited few more hours to get walderp cane. I did 1-3 trolls just with that and they all were pretty much under an hour.

Honestly i did the first Troll challenge before i could idle Mega land, you just go for 15 minute resets and try to get bosses within the first few minutes, after that try anything else that raises your number. also always bait a big troll before you rebirth
