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
  1. 1
    Establish your base and economy, ensuring at least a 3.0 resource multiplier for steady cash flow.
  2. 2
    Build 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.
  3. 3
    Use Nazguls to deal with raiding knights and protect them from fire arrows.
  4. 4
    When Gandalf appears, attack him with multiple waves. Keep Nazguls away from him.
  5. 5
    Lure Eagles to your archers for engagement, as they are weaker than Nazguls.
  6. 6
    After a timer, Rohan reinforcements will arrive. Prioritize eliminating Eowyn and horse archers. Use Mumakils and Rhun Warriors against the Rohans.
  7. 7
    Capture the outpost in the west. This triggers the arrival of the Army of the Dead.
  8. 8
    Use the Balrog to hold the Army of the Dead. Once they rank up, they disappear after fulfilling their oaths.
  9. 9
    Defeat the remaining heroes: Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas. Keep Nazguls away from Legolas.
  10. 10
    Begin the main assault on Minas Tirith. Use Nazguls to destroy trebuchet positions.
  11. 11
    Build Grond and use it to break the main gates.
  12. 12
    Use Orcs to engage archers, and Trolls/Mumakils to destroy buildings.
  13. 13
    Summon 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.
  14. 14
    Station units at destroyed building sites to prevent rebuilding.
  15. 15
    Destroy 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.
