The Coldfells - p. 1 | Chapter 3 LotR: War in the North Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Warning! On this and on the next levels (but only within Chapter 3) in of the crates or barrels you can find Red Beryls, Green Beryls and Golden Beryls. They are necessary to complete the [SIDE QUEST] Elf-stones.

The Ettenmoors: Search the Moors

Run the only possible path down. When you reach two rocks that form a passage, you'll be attacked by orcs. Archers will appear on the rocks, while several orcs will run out from behind them, including an unusually fast warrior using two weapons. Only he can cause you trouble, you'll deal with the rest easily.

Fight until the next enemies appear behind rocks. Go there and continue the slaughter. To the right, the next enemies will come running downhill, among them a heavy-armored orc. As you've probably noticed, orcs are stronger and tougher than goblins. When the fight is over, run up a rock to the right and soon you'll notice some foot tracks - if you play as Eradan.

They lead to a place where you must jump from one rock to the other. Your character will do it automatically. On a small glade you'll notice a goblin - kill him, and then deal with a big number of enemies who will get down the rocks. After the fight search this place - there's a golden treasure chest and two flowers (on the left and right).

Run uphill. The further road leads to the right, but first examine the cave. You'll find the entrance on the left. You will defeat several goblins and two archers inside. There are also a lot of barrels and crates here. Destroy all on the way and take the items.

In a small spot to the right you will find a mushroom and the first Miriloth Bloom (necessary to complete the [SIDE QUEST] Miruvor), while on the left there's another Miriloth Bloom. There will also be a chest in front of you, while further, to the left - a heap of items you should search.

If you play as Farin, then now you'll be able to use his knowledge about the precious ores. To the left you will notice a protruding piece of the rock with golden cracks. It's not a secret, but if you examine the rock, then the reward will be several hundred silver coins in the form of nuggets. Sell them at the nearest merchant.

Exit the cave and turn left. When you get to the end, jump down. You will find yourself in an orc camp. A long fight divided into a few stages awaits you. First, you'll fight with an orc leader, two warriors and an archer. The leader has similar blows to Tharzog - when he roars it means that he's about to perform a aerial attack.

When you kill these enemies, new ones will appear - several goblins (new will join during the fight), two ordinary and one fast orc warrior. Here, like before, only the last opponent can be a problem. Defeat all enemies and wait for the next.

An orc sorcerer accompanied by six warriors will teleport to the camp. While he's not standing in any inaccessible place, you can run up to him immediately and attack with a series of blows. Yet, don't let yourself get surrounded by the enemies, as it can have pitiful results. Also, be prepared to save a companion if she/he falls.

Several goblins will get down the rocks to the left, but it won't be the worst thing - after a while a troll will also appear. To be sure, you already know how to fight with trolls but this one has a new attack - he can grab you and inflict a lot of wounds. If he knocks you down, you have to quickly press the button at the bottom of the screen to free yourself. Do the same if the troll manages to catch your character and he's trying to bite his/her head off.

Apart from that the fight doesn't differ much from what you've already experienced fighting this kind of enemy. Dodge and hit the troll as much as you can or shoot at his head. After dealing with him and watching the cutscene the main objective of the quest will change. Search the camp. On the left and right there are a lot of barrels and chests. There is also a chest near the wooden tower to the right of the exit, and close (on the left) the third Miriloth Bloom ([SIDE QUEST] Miruvor]). Go out through the destroyed gate (the game will be saved automatically).
