Last update: 11 May 2016

Second assignment: Capture the outpost

Suggested class: troll

In this case you should definitely choose a troll. There are two reasons for that to happen - it's going to be important to eliminate larger groups of enemy forces quickly and the troll can't be captured by eagles. Start moving west (9 on the map). You'll soon notice that a large battle is taking place near the road leading to the outpost [#112]. Assist your allies in getting rid of enemy unites. I would recommend that you focus on eliminating archers and ents. It's best to wait for the ents to attack someone else, so you won't have to worry about them fighting back right away. Use troll's middle attack, because it's the most effective move in close combat and when dealing with groups.

[#112]

Before you decide to make the final assault on the outpost (10 on the map) you should spend some time looking for a mage and receiving a free healing. Eliminate a few knights along the way, but don't stay in one spot and instead keep moving. There are palisades blocking the path to the outpost and obviously you must destroy them [#113]. When they're gone step into a small circled area. Don't forget that enemy units will be appearing here constantly, so you can't feel safe. Thankfully you should be joined by allied units soon and it's going to make the entire process a lot easier.

Third assignment: Kill the king's guard

Suggested class: Saruman or troll

Notice that Saruman has become an active character. Obviously you should choose him, because he's going to be better than a troll, not to mention standard mages. You should play as the troll only if you lose Saruman by mistake, but you would have to be very unlucky for that to happen. There are six members of the guard for you to eliminate, however at least two of them should be present on the lower battlefield. Attack them from a larger distance [#114] and don't forget to keep moving, so you won't be an easy target. You'll still have to watch out for the attacks from the air and your enemies will be using bows. You should also remain near other allied troops, so you'll be able to heal them whenever they receive major injuries.

[#114]

You'll probably have to start climbing to get to the other members of the guard and there's only one passageway (11 on the map) leading to the top of the hill. Don't forget to eliminate standard enemy units along the way, so they won't bother you in the future. It's extremely important that you keep moving. You won't have to worry about the eagles, but instead you'll find yourself under heavy artillery fire from the north [#115]. You can't be standing too close to each explosion, because the fireball can take up to 3/4 of your health bar. Heal Saruman whenever he's received major injuries. Thankfully there's a checkpoint nearby (12 on the map), so you'll be allowed to choose a new class quickly if he dies. Kill all the main targets and you'll be given the final objective.

[#115]

Fourth assignment: Kill Aragorn

Suggested class: Saruman or mage

I guess you may be a little surprised to hear that it's going to be easy to win the duel with Aragorn, however you will have to watch out for siege fire during the course of this battle. Aragorn will be waiting for you at the top (13 on the map), but I would recommend that you encourage him into following you back to the ground level. You should be able to kill him there without having to worry about the artillery fire so much [#116]. It's important to maintain safe distance here, because you probably remember from the previous campaign that he's very skilled at short range combat. Killing Aragorn will allow you to win the mission.
