Guide for Part 25 in The Lord of the Rings Online, covering Crossroads and Osgiliath missions. Learn unit counters and base strategies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In Part 25 of The Lord of the Rings Online, deal with supporting knights alongside rangers using Soldiers of Rhun.
  2. 2
    After surviving the initial ranger rush, rebuild your army and capture the central outpost, defending it as all enemy traffic must pass through it.
  3. 3
    Locate and destroy the enemy's northeastern camp, which produces Gondor soldiers and tower guards, before attacking their main base camp to the northwest.
  4. 4
    Be prepared for enemy allies like elves and Rohirrims; build trolls to counter cavalry and infantry, as they are effective against trebuchets but vulnerable to arrows.
  5. 5
    Watch for enemy trebuchets ambushing your main camp from the sides and targeting your unit queues.
  6. 6
    Once all camps are conquered, prepare for a final assault on the enemy base camp, expecting knights, tower guards, and hidden rangers.
  7. 7
    Build catapults to deal with wall-mounted trebuchets and assemble a diverse army to counter any enemy forces.
  8. 8
    The Crossroads mission in The Lord of the Rings Online involves using Mordor units, with a Nazgul supporting your army seven minutes into the mission.
  9. 9
    Build your base and, if you have a large surviving army from the previous fight, push southwest towards the main base camp across the bridge.
  10. 10
    Capture the enemy outpost in the western corner of the map, as reinforcements come from there, before attacking the main base camp.
  11. 11
    Utilize the Nazgul's scream to break enemy formations and its swoop attacks against trebuchet emplacements and enemy units, but be cautious of fire arrows.
  12. 12
    Use catapults to destroy the enemy base from the outside, guarding them from soldiers who can dismantle them quickly.
  13. 13
    After destroying half the enemy base and breaching the gates with battering rams, send in your forces with the Nazgul drawing heavy fire.
  14. 14
    In the Osgiliath mission of The Lord of the Rings Online, set up your base and produce orcs, orc archers, and Haradrim warriors.
  15. 15
    Use catapults to dismantle the enemy camp to the left of your starting point, guarding them with orcs and orc archers.
  16. 16
    Garrison any abandoned towers with orc archers for control.
  17. 17
    Build a second camp and a third camp northeast of your starting point.
  18. 18
    Mass your army by the bridges on your side, guarding against invading trebuchets by building trolls to counter them and replenish their health by consuming orcs.
  19. 19
    Assault from the southernmost bridge, focusing on urban close combat and capturing towers.
  20. 20
    Escort an archer or Haradrim lancer with a horde of orcs to capture towers, using the orcs to absorb arrow damage while archers secure the towers.
  21. 21
    Continue pressing with this strategy, continuously producing orcs and lancers, and build Soldiers of Rhun.
Tips
  • Trolls are effective against cavalry, infantry, and trebuchets but weak against arrows.
  • Be aware of where your unit queues are after spawning, as trebuchets target these areas.
  • A diverse army composition is crucial for adapting to unexpected enemy forces.
  • The Nazgul in The Lord of the Rings Online Crossroads mission arrives after seven minutes and is useful for breaking enemy formations and destroying emplacements, but vulnerable to fire arrows.
  • Catapults can siege bases without breaching gates but require guarding from enemy soldiers.
  • Capturing towers in Osgiliath denies enemy territories and is best achieved by escorting archers with orcs.
