Web-Shrouded Woods | Chapter 5 LotR: War in the North Guide

Mirkwood: Travel through Mirkwood to the home of Radagast

Right on the left there's a heap of items. Search it and go forward. You'll notice some orcs fighting with spiders. The latter will win and then come at you. They aren't tough enemies and they are similar to goblins as far as efficiency is concerned.

Near the entrance to the glade there is a heap of items, while on the right there's a flower. Locate the opposite tree. Some mushrooms are on the left, and on the right and under the tree there are some more heaps of items. There's one more heap behind the tree. On the right you'll see a mushroom.

After a while the larger glade will swarm with ordinary spiders but some bigger ones will also appear here. The latter are more dangerous, because they can catch your character in the net shooting from a distance. That is why it's best to attack these enemies from close up. You will need to deal with a swarm of small spiders and three larger ones.

Opposite there is a heap of items and a flower under the tree and the rock, and another one on the right. Follow the right path and some spiders will approach you in a while - two big and a lot of smaller ones. The tighter the place you fight with them, the better, as your opponents will have problems with surrounding you.

Watch out, however, for the big spiders. Apart from shooting out a net at you they can also catch you with their limbs. To free yourself you must quickly press a button shown at the bottom of the screen. Once you've finished them off, search the next glade. Some mushrooms are to be found to the right of the rock (on the right and left), while a few steps further, under the rock on the right there's a heap of items.

Search the last heap of items on the left side of the glade and then go deep into the forest. You can collect a plant on your way (it's on the left, behind the stone). When you reach the stream (just on the left there is another heap of items) you'll be attacked by orc archers.

Watch the direction from which the arrows are coming to locate your enemies. After that taking them down won't be a problem. There are three on the right and two on the left. Zoom in to make it easier to hit them.

Keep going up the stream. After a while you will notice an armored orc and two orcs fighting with two weapons. Wait till they come running and then deal with them. Do the same with the next two enemies - the heavy-armored orcs.

A little further, near the end of the stream two archers will attack you. You will bring them down easily. By the path leading right there's also a heap of items. Run following the path and you'll reach the glowing portal. Use it. You'll watch a cutscene and receive a new objective of the main quest. Meanwhile the game will be saved automatically.

 

Mirkwood: Defeat the spider horde

A lot of ordinary spiders and two larger ones will come down from the trees. Defeat them and then get ready to repulse another wave of opponents - once more two spiders with a swarm of smaller ones. After you've killed them the game will be saved automatically.

The third and the last group of spiders (a lot of smaller and two bigger ones) is waiting to be repelled. Kill them all and then search three heaps of the items located here. The first is just under the elevation from where your heroes jumped down after the last cutscene.

Mirkwood: Gather Radagast's staff

You'll find the second to the right of the stairs leading to the house of Radagast. The third is on the left, next to the glowing portal that finishes this level. But before you use it pick up Radagast Staff glowing in yellow - it's lying just by the gate. Don't worry about the secrets - there's none on this level.
