Nordinbad | Chapter 5 LotR: War in the North Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Nordinbad: Speak with Gorin

When you arrive at Nordinbad you'll have a conversation with one of the dwarves you helped in the previous chapter - Bruni. You can talk to him once more and ask about everything. You will get a short main quest - having a conversation with the dwarves' leader. You can go down the left stairs and examine the area to find out more about him. Next, use the glowing portal.

You will teleport to the fortress interior automatically and begin a conversation with Gorin. You will also complete the main quest and receive the next - [SIDE QUEST] Gorin's Gratitude. You can also chat with Nordri who is standing nearby.

Mirkwood: Travel to Mirkwood

The aforementioned side quest can be completed quickly. Run down the left stairs and approach the stall that Galar is behind. Talk to him and say that the leader sent you and you'll receive Choice of Reward from Galar. Open it in your inventory and choose one of the items. The side quest [SIDE QUEST] Gorin's Gratitude will be completed.

Buri, the blacksmith who can repair your items, is standing opposite the merchant. Use his services, but above all ask him about mithril, and then about the gem. Agree to help him and you'll get a [SIDE QUEST] A Gem No Mine Can Yield. Also, if you acquired all three Westernesse Artifacts but you didn't use Angmir's help in Rivendell to craft an item, you can do it now, at Buri's. The reward will differ slightly, but the [SIDE QUEST] Work of Westernesse will be completed. Run into the corridor. On the right there is a hall where on the left you'll find a mirror that can be used to change appearance.

You can also admire the dwarven craft - in order to do it examine a big column that divides the corridor. There's nothing else to be done in this place. Keep running further through the corridor to go outside. Then, use the glowing portal behind Beleram, the eagle. Teleport to Mirkwood.
