How the fuck do you stop players from using out-of-game knowledge in-game? I tried not telling them monster names, they still deduce them. I tried making monsters look different, they guess it by abilities they use.
Should i just make trolls HEALED by fire damage?
yes
i'm not even kidding, if this is a legitimate problem in your groups, do this. destroy everything they thought they knew about fantasy settings and make your own shit up

This on every level.

Every single time. Isn't there a single other example you could use?
How about you make a troll with a fire protection amulet he stole from some mage which absorbs sources of flame?
come on OP, step it up.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Look, i wouldn't have been miffed as much if they even made a lore check.
But noooo, every character is an instant monster expert.
