At the beginning of the mission, you need to race against time, because you only have 8 minutes to find Lithariel. Although it may seem otherwise, this is quite a lot of time and you can take all the steps within less than 3 minutes. Your first task is to brand any six orcs. If possible, pick single orcs, because you cannot raise the alarm. Just like in the case of the previous mission, this does not mean the you absolutely need to remain in hiding because, if you are spotted, you only need to make sure that none of the orcs raises the alarm.

After you have branded the orcs (you are free to choose which ones), Lithariel's location is added to your map. You need to reach her and, from now on, you do not need to sneak anymore (although this is still an option). Finding the captive woman starts a cutscene.

According to the information that you get, you need to decide whether you want to kill five more orcs or to brand them. Personally, I recommend that you do the latter, because you will soon need additional help. Therefore, try to brand the first one of the orcs, by attacking him by surprise, and at least two more, during direct battles (special abilities connected with branding).

The last part of this mission assumes that you take the wounded Lithariel to the stronghold exit. Approach her and hold down the grab key/button to pick her up. Do not release that key and head Southwards.

As you have probably guessed, you will be obstructed from leaving the stronghold by orcs. At such points, release Lithariel and fight them. You can help yourself, by using the branded orcs and, on a regular basis, try to brand more "allies". Do not get away from Lithariel, while fighting, because she may be attacked by the orcs and she will be unable to fend them off. Later into the mission, take the two steps alternatively, i.e. carry Lithariel over to the successive locations and fight the orcs. The mission ends after you leave the stronghold.

Rewards for completing the mission:

  • 600 experience points
  • New main mission unlocked "Lord of Mordor"
