Master the final Evil campaign mission in The Lord of the Rings Online. Strategies for Mordor and Isengard armies, unit deployment, and defeating key heroes.
Walkthrough
- 1Establish your base and economy, ensuring at least a 3.0 resource multiplier for steady cash flow.
- 2Build a balanced army: several groups of Orcs, Archers, Haradrim, and Rhun Warriors. Include some Mumakils but prioritize Trolls for dealing with knight raids and Rohans. Build at least 5 Catapults to destroy enemy trebuchets and wall archers.
- 3Use Nazguls to deal with raiding knights and protect them from fire arrows.
- 4When Gandalf appears, attack him with multiple waves. Keep Nazguls away from him.
- 5Lure Eagles to your archers for engagement, as they are weaker than Nazguls.
- 6After a timer, Rohan reinforcements will arrive. Prioritize eliminating Eowyn and horse archers. Use Mumakils and Rhun Warriors against the Rohans.
- 7Capture the outpost in the west. This triggers the arrival of the Army of the Dead.
- 8Use the Balrog to hold the Army of the Dead. Once they rank up, they disappear after fulfilling their oaths.
- 9Defeat the remaining heroes: Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas. Keep Nazguls away from Legolas.
- 10Begin the main assault on Minas Tirith. Use Nazguls to destroy trebuchet positions.
- 11Build Grond and use it to break the main gates.
- 12Use Orcs to engage archers, and Trolls/Mumakils to destroy buildings.
- 13Summon the Balrog whenever available. Use its fire breath and whip to destroy buildings and units, especially near the main gates. It can destroy up to four buildings per summon.
- 14Station units at destroyed building sites to prevent rebuilding.
- 15Destroy all buildings on both levels of the city to win the mission.
Tips
- Summoning the Balrog is crucial for stopping the Army of the Dead and destroying buildings efficiently.
- If playing Mordor, ensure you have the increased Orc production power.
- Acquire all One Ring powers if possible.
- The Isengard army is generally considered stronger than the Mordor army, depending on your strategy.
- Level up Saruman and Lurtz if you plan to use them in Minas Tirith.
- Save the game frequently after surviving major events during the assault.
- Be aware that the reinforcement from the west is a trap; it's Aragorn with the Army of the Dead.
- Nazguls are valuable for taking out siege units but take a long time to respawn.
- The Balrog deals significant damage when summoned near the main gates.
