The True Lord of the Rings is the final main mission in The Bright Lord DLC.

Description[]

The Dark Lord's forces are in disarray. With all of his Warchiefs under your control, Sauron has come to challenge you in open combat.

It all comes down to this. Sauron and his forces await you in a stronghold to meet in battle. Your followers will be present to help aid you in the fight as well - at least, until you defeat Sauron for the first time, and he releases them from your command. Then you will be required to fight all five at once, plus a constant flow of Uruks. Once all five warchiefs are defeated, Sauron will reappear, even resurrecting the warchiefs you just killed. Then the true battle begins. If you manage to accomplish this feat, you'll be rewarded with an interesting cinematic at the end!

Tips[]

  • Make sure your Power of the One Ring is fully charged as often as possible is a must for this mission. Complete as many of the One Ring missions as you can, as this makes it a much more effective weapon.
  • Kiting is essential, be sure to make the most out of the entire map and don't feel bad for retreating.
  • Use Grog Bowls and Barrels to your advantage.
  • Use Shadow Brand as often as possible. It will help you recharge the Power of the One Ring, and escape from enemies.
  • As soon as your Power of the One is charged, attack the warchiefs immediately. Try to take out two of them in one go, and this way you might be able to kill all 5 in a much shorter amount of time.
  • When Sauron is present, ignore all other enemies and focus solely on him. He is incredibly difficult to beat without the unlimited executions, so defeating him should be your first priority.
