Shadow of War: Fire from Ice - Walkthrough Middle-earth: Shadow of War Guide

Quests: Carnán

Main objective: Do not let Balrog be freed.

You can use Shadow Strike to start the battle immediately.

1. Zog wants to free Balrog from the clutches of the frozen lake, which may end in a disaster for the whole of Middle Earth. You have to stop him - reach the ritual site and you will have to fight a really difficult battle.
2. Around, there are four totems that you have to purify in the first place. This objective is very difficult, because you will be flooded with enemies and you will have to fight Zog. It is best to try and lure the enemies into a single spot and sprint towards the distant totem. Start purging it immediately afterwards.

You can use the totem to perform assassination attacks on Zog.

1. It is a good idea to summon a follower and other creatures. They will lure the enemy away and will make destroying totems easier. Also, explosive arrows will help (Zog is terribly afraid of fire), which will also buy you some time.
2. After you have destroyed all totems, you will be able to deal with Zog. The enemy is very strong - use explosive arrows, when necessary. A good idea is also to escape the enemy and climb onto totems, which makes him lose visuals of you. From the top of the totems, you can perform assassination attacks that will claim a lot of the enemy's health.
3. Once you have destroyed the totems and defeated the enemy, the mission will end and Balrog remain trapped in the lake.
