The Ettenmoors: Find Bargrisar the Stone-Giant

There's a flower on the left. After taking several steps you will notice a scout who will draw the enemies. In the beginning there will be only one archer and one fast orc with two weapons, so you'll manage to kill them with ease.

Follow the only possible path to another orc camp. Two ordinary and one fast warrior will charge at you. Defeat them, and head for the cave whose entrance is just to the right. Near the entrance, to the right, there's a vein of gold.

You will find several chests and barrels, and also a heap of items inside. Exit the cave and turn right. You will bump into two ordinary and one fast warrior at once. Kill them as quickly as you can, because more enemies will appear here soon.

Expect an orc sorcerer accompanied by archers and warriors. After some time a pack of goblins will come running here. If the opponents are in the sorcerer's healing sphere then it's pointless to fight with them with a ranged weapon. Defeat everybody and take the third Sorcerer's Scroll from the body of the orc sorcerer. The scroll is necessary to do the [SIDE QUEST] Cult of the Lidless Eye and it's also the [SECRET 1/7 for everyone].

The last enemy to beat will be the orc leader. He's alone so you shouldn't have any problem with killing him. Next, search the camp thoroughly. There are barrels on both sides. Under the rocks to the right you'll find a flower, and a little further, behind two wooden towers - barrels and a chest you should search.

The further road leads through a rocky bridge on the left. Destroy the barrels to the left when you get to the other side and then go right. If you play as Eradan, you will notice some foot tracks - they will take you to a small cave nearby. To the right of the entrance there's a flower (by the stream).

In the cave there are two mushrooms, three barrels, a vein of gold to the right, near the entrance, and a golden treasure chest you should search. Additionally, there are some items hidden in the rock on the right - it's the [SECRET 2/7 for Eradan]. Exit the cave and stick to the rocks on the right to follow the last path leading to the further part of the level (right at the beginning of the path, to the right, there's a flower).

Run the only possible path to an open wooden gate. The game will be saved automatically, and the gate will be closed behind you. Near the exit to the glade, on the left, there's a flower. First of all, however, focus your attention on an orc sorcerer and several warriors who will appear here. Finish off the sorcerer as quickly as possible. After a while a large number of goblins will get out from the trees - defend yourself till the last one is killed.

The last thing will be taking out the archer who's on one of the rocks, but it won't be difficult. Opposite the entrance to the glade there is an open gate, and by them four barrels and a chest you should search. Use the glowing portal and the game will be saved automatically.

There is a teleport behind the gate, and on the right a small cave with a mushroom and several barrels. Use the teleport to move to Rivendell. Turn around and go back to the bridge to talk to Arwen and complete the [SIDE QUEST] Miruvor. Speak with her a little more, and you'll receive another [SIDE QUEST] Truesilver. Come back to the High Moors (the glowing portal is at the end of the bridge).

Run through the corridor deep into the cave. A heavy-armored orc accompanied by two warriors will bump into you after a while. Defeat them and go further. If you play as Farin, keep looking closely at the right side. You will come across a wall that the dwarf can break. It's the [SECRET 3/7 for Farin].

Inside you'll find five barrels, a vein of gold on the right, a mushroom on the left and a chest you should search. Return to the corridor. In the place, where it turns to the right - a dozen or so steps further - there's a wall to be examined if you play as Andriel. The wall will turn out to be false. It's the [SECRET 4/7 for Andriel].

Behind the false wall you will find a small cave. Inside there's a chest to be searched and several barrels to destroy. Go back to the corridor and run further. After a while you will notice an orc who's running away. Soon he will come back, together with some more. Don't let yourself get surrounded (the corridor is tight) and the fight won't be difficult.

As soon as you finish off the warriors, an orc sorcerer will appear, as well as a few archers and a fast warrior with two weapons. This time the lack of space will be of benefit to you. Eliminate the enemies moving further through the corridor. The next enemy will be a heavy-armored orc - he'll attack you near the entrance to the larger cave.

In the cave where you're now there are a lot of barrels and two heaps of items (on the left and right). Run up to an even bigger cave and finish off two archers. There are more barrels here - destroy all of them and take all the items. Next, go to the corridor. To the right there's a mushroom at the fork and a vein of gold on the wall, while the further road leads left.

After a few turns you'll reach another large cave. Apart from the orcs there's a troll here. However, he won't attack you first - the first to attack will be the warriors (including a heavy-armored orc) and archers. Try to kill as many of these enemies, before the troll realizes that some unwelcome quests entered his cave.

When the troll arrives, first try to get rid of the rest of the enemies, excluding the archers - deal with them only after you've killed the troll. Move the fight back deep into the corridor so that they won't be able to hit you. Afterwards search this place - there are a lot of barrels around and also a heap of items under a rocky pillar.

Open the gate behind the pillar (a mushroom is behind it) and begin to run right, to the exit. Defeat two archers, and then the next enemies who will run into the cave. When you find yourself near the exit, watch out for the fast warrior with two weapons, who's hiding to the left. There's also a chest and some barrels there.

Before you exit the cave, lure the enemies outside one by one. Try not to lure too many a time and remember to destroy the nearby barrels. Finally, leave the cave (there's a flower on the left) and start fighting with new enemies who will appear here, among others, including an orc sorcerer accompanied by archers. Defeat everybody and get ready for the next battle.

A very difficult fight is ahead, that's why you must call Beleram and remember about using all of your special abilities. If you run higher using the entrance on the left, you will be attacked by five ordinary warriors, one fast and an orc leader. Try to send Beleram down on one of these two enemies (the best option is the orc leader).

You should somehow deal with the rest, just don't let yourself get surrounded and heal your companions if they fall. Afterwards search this place. Destroy all barrels and search the chest on the left. On the right, near the edge, there's a flower. Next, go to the glowing portal to advance to the further part of the level. The game will be saved automatically.

Run through the winding corridor. Destroy four barrels on the way. You will reach the fork eventually. The right road leads to the glowing portal which will finish this level, however, we suggest that you search a big cave to the left first. The foot tracks lead to it - you'll notice them if you play as Eradan.

Additionally, if you play as Farin, focus your attention on the wall exactly across from you. You can examine and break it - it's the [SECRET 5/7 for Farin]. Inside you will find two heaps of items on the left and right and also a lot of barrels. This, however, is not the end of secret places.

In this very cave the wall opposite the entrance is false. It's the [SECRET 6/7 for Andriel]. Examine the wall, cast a spell and get to another hidden cave. Start searching it. To the left there's a vein of gold, on the right a mushroom. In front of you there are several barrels and a golden chest you should search. Warning! This secret is impossible to find if you play alone. Come back to the first cave and run outside. Now explore the big one on the right.

It's not going to be easy, though. When you approach a rocky pillar in the middle of the cave, several goblins and a troll will come running to you. To make matters worse, another troll will join the fight after a while. Quickly finish off the goblins, and pull back to the corridor in order not to fight with two trolls at the same time.

Avoid their blows and don't let either of them knock you down - use healing potions. You can't allow for the situation in which one of your companions has to heal you, because most likely the trolls won't let him/her do it. Besides, if you fight in the corridor, it's possible that the second troll will only be standing and doing nothing.

Search the place after the fight. At the other side of the rocky pillar (the tracks lead there) you'll find a hiding place with items - it's the [SECRET 7/7 for Eradan]. Around the pillar and on the left and right side of the cave there are a lot of barrels. Destroy them all and search two heaps of items (also on the left and right).

Go to a small cave, in front of which there will be a heap of items. Inside you'll several barrels and a golden treasure chest, and also a vein of gold on the left. Come back to the fork after taking all the items and choose the other path. Use the glowing portal to finish this level.
