Horde in Return to Moria – How to prepare and what you should know before fighting them
First of all, you need to remember that hordes are spawned by the noise. You can check your current status in the right, bottom corner of the screen. This danger is not present everywhere, as some places are safe.
Noise indicators are connected with areas. To reset it, you should leave the zone and sleep. Do it before you reach a threshold.
Don’t mistake sieges with hordes. Sieges are random and you have no control over them. They are like hordes, but shorter and easier to deal with.
To make your game easier, try to explore a new area before you start making noise. It will allow you to find good spots to fight and a defend yourself.
At this moment, it seems that quantity of enemies does not change based on number of players (at least not drastically). It means that single players have a bigger challenge than a group of friends. However, at the same time, it looks like multiplayer games have a greater chance to spawn high-level enemies.
Keep in mind that Horde mechanics may be changed in the future as many players would like to see some sliders in the game which would allow them to control number of enemies.
Hordes in Return to Moria – How to deal with them
- If you trigger a horde, remember about blocking, as it will protect you from damages from all sides. You should also use charge attacks as often as possible.
- If you spawn a horde, it is a good idea to have a bow. A run and hit tactic works quite well in this situation, as it will allow you to get rid of many orcs even before the melee fight begins.
- The other way to deal with a horde is to find a narrow corridor (or create one) and face enemies there. Of course, you may combine both tactics (melee and range).
- If you want to stop hordes for good, you have to kill a war chief in the area. Killing a boss will free you from the horde. However, remember that it is one of the sources of Black Diamond.
- Upgrade your equipment regularly. Repair statues to get new recipes and enhance your weapons with runes.
- If you are generally tired of enemies, avoid exploring at nights. They spawn more frequently then.
