Story[]
After finding the Dwarves of Moria dead, the Fellowship is attacked by Orcs and a cave troll. They hold them off, but face Durin's Bane: a Balrog that resides within the mines. As the others escape, Gandalf defends the Balrog and throws it into a great chasm, but the Balrog drags Gandalf into the darkness with it.
Walkthrough[]
Level Prelude[]
After finishing the previous level, you will appear in a lake in the Pass of Caradhras. Follow the path of studs and go to the door to the Mines of Moria to start the level.
Level Walkthrough[]
You start in the Chamber of Mazarbul, where you will have to get Pippin out of a well. Switch to Gimli and use his axe to destroy the cracked tile on the left and reveal a crank that you'll need later. On the right side of the area, use Legolas' bow to shoot a target and drop a chest that needs a key to open. Hit both chests on the sides of the well to reveal pieces and use them to build the top of the well. Switch to Sam and light the campfire on the right side of the area to get a key. Use it to open the chest you revealed with Legolas and get a gear. Then place the gear next to the well, place the crank next to the gear and turn it to lift the chain and take out Pippin. When you take out Pippin in the well, you will move on to the next area.
In the next area, the Orcs will try to break down the door. Use the weapons on both sides of the door to strengthen it. Switch to Legolas and use his bow to shoot the elements in both corridors and grab one of two chains. When you are holding on to one of the two chains, switch to another character and hold on to the other chain. This will cause the door to be reinforced by a beam that unfortunately will not resist the attack of the Orcs. Defeat several Orcs to make a cave troll come. When you confront the troll, it will be immune to normal attacks, so you will have to use a series of traps. Switch to Legolas, use the leaves on an object on the left to reach the ledge on the left and destroy a rock. Stand on the platform pointed with an arrow and when you hear the cave troll roar, dodge the attack so the troll's chain gets stuck. Jump onto the troll's chain and shoot the troll's head with an arrow to damage it. Build a platform in the middle of the area, stand on it and when you hear the troll roar, dodge its attack and the troll will take damage from the platform. On the right side of the area, do the same thing you did on the left side and Pippin will climb onto the troll. Press the attack button several times until you see its mouth can be hit. Switch to Legolas and use his bow to hit the troll's mouth. The troll will take Pippin off its back. Build a hatch on both sides of the area and use a hobbit to enter it and reach the upper ledges. Stand on a yellow circle and press the action button to get on the troll. Do the same thing you did before and the troll will have little life left. Do the same again on the other side of the area and you will defeat the troll, moving on to the next area.
In the next area, you will have to protect Gandalf from a horde of Orcs. His barrier will stop most enemies, but those who manage to break through must be defeated. Defeat three groups of Orcs: the first consists of three; the second consists of six and the third consists of seven. When you defeat these three groups, a pillar will block the corridor behind and Durin's Bane will appear from the background. Go left to find another puzzle. This will require the cooperation of the entire team. Switch to Gimli and use his axe to destroy the cracked tile on the right. Rebuild the floor with the pieces received and push the cart. Destroy a barrel in the upper left corner to obtain a crank and store it in your inventory. Switch to Pippin, go to the circle near a puddle in the lower left corner and press the action button on it to use Pippin's bucket to fill water. Then, go to the fire in the center of the zone and use the water from Pippin's bucket to put out the fire. Switch to Gandalf, use his magic to place a purple gear in the right place, and place the crank into a mechanism. Turn the crank to open the door and enter the next area.
In the next area, go down the stairs and when you are near the Khazad-Dûm Bridge, the stairs will start to collapse. The group will be divided into three. Grab Gimli (with either Aragorn or Legolas) and throw him towards the cracked tile near the hobbits. Then, switch to Sam, enter the hatch near the hobbits, use a tightrope to get to the right side, and set fire to a wooden structure. This will cause the ladder on the right side to fall with the central one and combine with the one on the right, allowing the team to gather together. Switch to Legolas, use a rope to climb the stairs on the left and use his bow to shoot two targets and lower a footbridge. Continue down the stairs to reach the final area.
In the final area, it will be divided into two perspectives. From Gandalf's perspective, you will fight Durin's Bane in free fall. Press the jump button to fall faster and make sure to grab a sword in the air. Once you have the sword, fall faster to reach Durin's Bane. When you land on him, press the attack button several times to attack him until you can hit him with a powerful attack by pressing the action button. When you attack him with the powerful attack, he will move away from you and you will have to repeat the same process twice. However, be careful that in the following processes, he will use his fire breath to attack you. To avoid these attacks, move to the side when you see light starting to gather in his mouth. In the last process, he will grab you with his hand. Press the attack button a few times to make him release you from his hand, and repeat the same process one more time to finish this perspective.
From the perspective of the other members of the Fellowship of the Ring, you will see a scene where fallen rocks will block the exit. Go up the stairs in the lower right corner and use Legolas to hit a target and stick an arrow into the wall. Then, use the same character to get to the other side through the handle and hit a rock near a machine to lower some stairs for the others to climb. Defeat some Orcs that come, switch to Gimli and use his axe to destroy the fallen rocks blocking the door and go through it to finish this perspective. When you finish both perspectives, the level will end.
