Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Hero and his companions are on a quest to find a MacGuffin, stop the Big Bad, and Save the World. In order to get to the MacGuffin Location, they have to cross a bridge. But wait, there's someone guarding the bridge, and they won't let The Hero past until they pass a test. Usually a troll of one kind or another, these bridgekeepers more often than not demand that anyone who wants to cross has to answer a riddle. Similar to crossroads, the relationship between bridges and the supernatural has existed in world folklore for centuries, representing liminal and transitional spaces that defy natural obstacles and connect two places that could be isolated otherwise; so in the same way bridges intersect two different areas, they'd also be a place of intersection between different worlds, like life and death, and the natural and the unnatural. However, the association of this otherwordly antagonism with trolls in specific might come from the publication and English translation of the Norwegian fairy tale Three Billy Goats Gruff, collected by Asbjørnsen and Moe in the anthology "Norwegian Folktales". The story was one of the first introductions of trolls to 19th century Britain and portrays one who lives under a bridge and threatens to eat the three goats that have to pass through it, thus influencing many posterior appearances of trolls in Victorian literature and art. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Related to Riddle of the Sphinx. Compare Only Smart People May Pass and Only the Worthy May Pass. See also Take It to the Bridge for situations in which bridges are relevant to a story in general due to their symbolism. Examples: |

Divinity: Original Sin II: Reaper's Coast has two rival trolls who charge a cash fee to cross their respective bridges, each of whom would like you to kill the other. You can argue to one that it's illegally profiting from public property, but it will retort that the bridge clearly hasn't been maintained at all by the State and is open to adverse possession. | |

The Barbarian and the Troll stars Evan, a young troll prince quitting his job as a bridge troll to become a bard, literally burning his bridge down in the process. As trolls run all the tollbridges in the kingdom of Gothmoria and run them on a "Pay or Slay" system, he and Brendar are forced to go back to his disapproving father to get the special "Troll Pass" for free movement through the troll tollways that don't involve slaughtering his old schoolmates. | |

An animated segment on Sesame Street went like this: "STOP!" *thunder* "I am The Bridgekeeper!" He requires crossers to answer questions about shapes (and sometimes to play a tune) before they can pass him and cross. There were several versions of the segment and the exact rule for crossing varied, but as mentioned it generally involved shapes in some way. In one segment, when a man arrives at the bridge he's told that the rule is "any circles you carry today must be eaten or thrown away". As it turns out, the man does have several circles (cookies, a pizza, a section of watermelon) in his bag. After the man eats these, the Bridgekeeper tells him he may cross, but the man doesn't want to cross ... he only came to deliver the Bridgekeeper's groceries. |

Monty Python and the Holy Grail: The old man from scene #24 who guards The Bridge of Death in asks anyone who wants to cross five three questions, although the questions' difficulty varies wildly. Anyone who can't answer is flung into The Gorge of Eternal Peril. The catch: If you ask him a question and he can't answer it, he gets thrown. The Black Knight may also count as a troll, though instead of asking riddles, he just challenges anyone who approaches his bridge to a fight to the death. |

The four encounter a variant of this during the quest for the third part of the Vasyn in With Strings Attached. In this case, they're in a narrow canyon and they have to pay a toll to a troll in order to pass. The troll wants flesh to eat, specifically George (who's a horse at the moment). When they turn it down, it jokes that it'll wrestle one of the rather feeble-looking four for the chance to continue on. Things do not end well for the troll, or at least its self-esteem. | |

A special event in Fallout 2 parodies the Monty Python scene above, in which The Chosen One's path is blocked by a bridgekeeper, who will only let him pass if he answers three questions. If he is unable to answer the questions correctly, he will spontaneously die. If he answers all three correctly, he is allowed to pass. However, if he answers the final question with a question, the bridgekeeper himself will be unable to answer, and thus will die (and drop his robes, which are equal to Combat Armor). | |

In Chapter 1 of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings there is a troll who keeps a nearby bridge and demands tolls. The townspeople are happy to have him: he keeps the bridge in good repair and the tolls he charges aren't really that costly (the governor notes that it would cost far more to hire a human crew to maintain the bridge.) The problem is that recently he's developed a drinking habit over the murder of his wife and turned violent and lazy. The governor needs him returned to his normal, sober, bridgekeeping ways or killed so that a proper (and expensive) maintenance effort can begin. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire (and its TV adaptation), the main bridge across the Green Fork is fortified and guarded by two castles known as The Twins that are the seat of the feudal house Frey. The Freys extort variable payments from whoever wants to cross their bridge, which can get absurdly high if the traveler is desperate enough. The Lord of the Crossing, Walder Frey, is also one of the biggest Trolls on the continent. | |

Played for laughs in Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Little John refuses to let Robin and his group pass over the bridge unless they can beat him in a duel. The other characters then point out that the waterway that the bridge crosses "Ain't exactly the Mississippi" and can just as easily be jumped over without trouble. Robin fights Little John anyways, as It's the Principle of the Thing. This of course is a parody of the scene in every other version of the myth. | |

My Little Pony 'n Friends: "The Magic Coins" has Niblick, a grumpy troll who guards a drawbridge and forces anybody who wants to cross to give him treasure. In the past, he created a chest full of magic coins that grant wishes (one coin is used up per wish), and only he has the power to reverse the wishes. Since a wish made it stop raining and the land is suffering, the heroes beg him to undo it, but he says he will only do it if they can give him a treasure equal to or greater than the coins. After their first three attempts fail to satisfy him, Megan uses the last coin to wish for a friend for Niblick. Satisfied, he undoes the wishes and becomes much nicer. | |

In a promotional video for God of War (PS4), a troll attacks Kratos and Atreus when they pass above the bridge he was under. In the game itself, the troll is fought in a different area instead, but if Kratos and Atreus go under that bridge, Atreus comments he was expecting to see a troll there, alluding to both the ad and the archetype. | |

On Lost Girl, a between-seasons webisode has Kenzi searching for a druid and being stopped on a bridge by a short, scrawny guy who demands that she pay a toll. Turns out the guy was an internet troll but got demoted to bridge duty as punishment. However, when Kenzi and her companion try to ignore the troll and cross the bridge without payment, the troll attacks and beats them up. Despite his puny appearance, he is still a troll and has incredible strength. In the end Kenzi's companion agrees to take over the troll's bridge duty for a month so Kenzi can pass unmolested. | |

Changeling: The Lost has, in its Grim Fears supplement, the character of Long Tooth Tom, who has a tendency to pick out suitable bridges and live under them, demanding tribute from anyone who would cross. He usually demands food or drink, since he doesn't give a damn about material possessions (he's more likely to want the leftover takeout in your back seat than your car). Those who refuse soon discover that the alternative is getting their asses kicked (and possibly eaten) by a giant Ogre. | |

In MySims Kingdom, Spookane resident Yuki stops you from crossing unless you bring her "shinies", found in the nearby ruins. If you don't, she'll bite your face! Okay, not really, but she really wants to! | |

Tales of MU: The Campus Labyrinth of Magisterius University has a Troll Bridge. The troll doesn't let anyone pass unless they can exact change. "Most folks who isn't shapeshifters just change clothes with each other." | |

In some old Ultima games, any time you step on a bridge, there's a chance that you'll get a Random Encounter made up entirely of trolls. | |

Baldur's Gate: Two Ogrillons demand a toll for you to cross the bridge leading to the gnoll stronghold. Paying the toll will lead them to attack, on the grounds that if you were willing to fork over that much money without haggling, there's probably a lot more where that came from. Then again, one of the Ogrillons carries the immensely powerful Gauntlets of Dexterity, so this is a desirable result. | |

Merlin had something like this, with Warwick Davis playing the bridge-keeper, who simply wanted to impart some cryptic advice before letting Arthur, Merlin, and Gwaine carry on their way. | |

In the Star Fairies special, the titular fairies are blocked from flying and needed to cross a bridge, only to find it guarded by a large hairy creature who agrees to let them cross only if they can grant his wish, and makes them guess what the wish is. Whisper rightly guesses he wishes he didn't have to guard the bridge any more, and she conjures up an automatic toll. | |

In the Black Blade series, there are numerous places in Cloudburst Falls that are the home of various monsters that will attack people if not given some token toll, like a candy bar or some loose change. Lila defeats the villain of the first book by tricking him into crossing a lochness bridge on foot without paying the toll, at which point said lochness eats him. | |
