Mirkwood is a long collection chapter with four secrets, the fifth Lidless Eye scroll, Radagast’s staff, and Glorihirin’s missable rescue and follow-up. Finish Nordinbad conversations first, search the Shadowed Paths and Woodland Marshes before advancing, then use Saenathra’s missed lunge—not the poisoned center of the arena—as the main damage opening.
Nordinbad
Speak to Gorin and Galar, finish Gorin's Gratitude, and make the reward choice before selecting Mirkwood.
Shadowed Paths
Defeat Wulfrun, collect scroll 5 and secret 22, then inspect the left trail after the fallen log for secret 23.
Woodland Marshes
Keep right after the checkpoint to rescue Glorihirin, then backtrack for the cache beneath the large tree.
Heart of Web
Control spider waves, clear egg sacs when crowded, dodge poison, and punish Saenathra's exposed abdomen.
Close Nordinbad business before traveling
Find Gorin and Galar and complete the available Gorin’s Gratitude handoff. Read the offered package before choosing. Equip the fellowship, preserve space for the scroll and quest items, and check that healing supplies are distributed rather than concentrated on one inactive hero.
If playing co-op, confirm that everyone who needs the hub dialogue sees the appropriate state. Assign one player to call collection detours so the group does not cross a transition while another participant is reading a quest.
The Mirkwood chapter contains Glorihirin’s missable sequence. Treat the rescue and the later conversation as two separate obligations.
Clear Shadowed Paths and track two discoveries
Fight Wulfrun with lateral movement. Roll sideways from the magic lanes and avoid extending attacks through a visible cast. After the defeat, inspect the loot for scroll 5 and the discovery counted as secret 22 in the current campaign route. Confirm both the quest count and secret state.
After the Beleram sequence and fallen log, follow the footprints to the left. Search the large stone cache for secret 23 before returning to the objective path. Clear nearby enemies so the tracking interaction is not interrupted.
At Web-shrouded Woods, prioritize large spiders when their pressure blocks safe movement, then manage smaller waves. Recover Radagast’s staff and verify the quest update. Do not leave on the strength of dialogue alone if the required item remains on the ground.
Find Glorihirin in Woodland Marshes
After the first enemy group and checkpoint, keep right toward a huge tree. Follow tracks through the water to the hidden orc camp. Clear the camp, free the captive, and speak to Glorihirin. This registers The Captive route and secret 24 in the current guide.
Backtrack to the fork rather than pushing through an uncertain exit. Take the other branch and look beneath the large tree on the left for the cache counted as secret 25. Record both discoveries before proceeding to the Heart of Web.
After completing the chapter sequence, speak to Glorihirin again for the reward and quest conclusion. The rescue alone is not the full conversation condition associated with the missable objective.
Rescue Radagast and fight Saenathra
In the Heart of Web, keep a clear route between the fellowship and Radagast. When spider numbers begin controlling the arena, destroy egg sacs to reduce pressure. Prioritize a safe revive over chasing the boss through poison.
Saenathra’s reliable opening follows a missed lunge. Roll outside the attack, turn toward the exposed abdomen, and use a short, confirmed sequence. Leave before poison or the next movement closes the window. Farin can contain smaller spiders, Eradan can punish precise exposure, and Andriel can stabilize the arena, but no hero should stand in a hazard for one extra hit.
In co-op, one player calls egg sacs and another watches the revive lane. Concentrating all three heroes on the abdomen while fresh spiders surround the support player converts a good opening into a wipe.
Audit the chapter before Grey Mountains
Check scroll 5, secrets 22–25, Radagast’s staff, Glorihirin’s completed dialogue, and the stable checkpoint. Open Elrond’s scroll quest to confirm five collected rather than relying on memory.
If Glorihirin cannot be found after the boss, review whether the hidden camp rescue and first conversation completed. Use normal chapter travel or replay rather than altering save files. Continue with Grey Mountains and Urgost and the missable achievement guide.
