Campaign - Forces of good - Mission 7 - Minas Morgul - part 2 | Campaign - Forces of good LotR: Conquest Guide

Third assignment: Take the courtyard

Suggested class: Aragorn or warrior

Obviously you should agree to the idea of playing as Aragorn. If he dies during the course of this mission, you should consider switching to a standard warrior. I would recommend that you keep Aragorn alive for as long as possible and this means going back to the mages each time he's suffered some major injuries. Before you'll be allowed to focus on taking over the courtyard, you'll have to kill a new troll near the main gate [#61]. I think it's rather obvious that you should attack the beast from the back in order to stab it with your knife. If Aragorn has died already, consider choosing a scout for this task, because a standard warrior may have some problems getting close enough to the troll to activate this move.

[#61]

Now you'll be finally allowed to focus on conquering the courtyard which is located to the north-east of the main gate (5 on the map). I would recommend that you go to the lower area of the citadel in the first place. Spend some time killing enemy mages and archers using Aragorn's most powerful attacks. You should also notice that you'll be allowed to send some of the beasts to the abyss quite easily. You can use a ballista if you want to dispose of larger groups of orcs, but it shouldn't be necessary. Go to the designated area when it's safer [#62]. Remember to stay on the move, because there are enemy scouts in the area and they may try backstabbing you.

Fourth assignment: Open the prison gate

Suggested class: Aragorn or warrior

This is a rather easy assignment, even if you decide to play as a warrior. Find the stairs [#63] leading to the upper balconies. Eventually you'll end up standing somewhere above the main gate. There are mostly weaker orcs here, however the lever (6 on the map) is being guarded by the captain. Use Aragorn's or warrior's special moves to kill the captain and go back down if you're seriously injured. Approach the lever and press the action key to open the main gate (7 on the map). You may return to the ground level.

Fifth assignment: Free the Gondorians

Suggested class: Aragorn or warrior

You will have to be extremely careful in this new section of the map, because the area around the cells is occupied by a very large group of enemy units. Don't try moving to the cells (8 on the map) too fast and instead allow your allies to breach this room and deal with at least some of the monsters. In each case you should target one of the cells and start off by securing the area around it. Only then you should make a decision to destroy the grating [#64]. Thankfully Aragorn's moves are very powerful, so it shouldn't take too long before each group of prisoners is released. Don't forget to retreat to your mages if you lose too much health, because you wouldn't want to lose Aragorn here. You must free the Gondorians from three cells before proceeding with the final challenge of this mission.

Sixth assignment: Destroy three sources of power

Suggested class: Aragorn or archer

Move back to the courtyard and find a small passageway leading to the southern chamber (9 on the map). There are a few trolls there for you to take care of. Attack the beasts by backstabbing them or by using a ballista [#65]. As for the main objective, there are two ways for you to complete it. If you managed to keep Aragorn alive up until now, you may decide for a more courageous approach. You would have to travel to each source of power (10 on the map) and use Aragorn's special moves to destroy it. Sadly these objects are well-protected, because you'll not only be dealing with orcs, but you'll have to avoid Nazguls as well. Furthermore, you won't be able to defeat all the Nazguls, because more of them will keep coming. Try to find a compromise between defending yourself against monster attacks, healing Aragorn and destroying sources of power.

[#65]

If Aragorn is not with us anymore, you shouldn't even bother trying to replace him with a standard knight, because you would have probably died even before reaching the source of power, not to mention damaging it. In such case you'll have to choose between a mage and an archer. Stay close to your allies and try to destroy each source of power from a large distance [#66]. Obviously you should be using fire arrows and fireballs to speed up this process. Move back each time your character has lost 50% of his health or if you see a Nazgul heading your way. Destroying all three sources of power is probably going to take you a few minutes, but the good news is you won't lose too many lives. You couldn't say the same thing if you had decided to play as a warrior or a scout. This mission will end with the destruction of the third source.
