Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'The battle is well underway now, <name>, but time is not on our side, and we must hasten the defeat of our foe by any means. 'The Orcs and goblins here in the Mirk-eaves are driven by uruk-warleaders who drive them into battle. Without these strong leaders to threaten and lead them into battle, the rest will fall aside in disarray and fear of our strength! 'Take the battle to any of the uruks whom you should encounter...each one you defeat shall mean a swifter victory for us all.' Background The Enemy forces in the Mirk-eaves are commanded by uruks, grim and terrible. Objective 1 Defeat Taughâsh War-leaders (0/2) Taughâsh War-leaders can be found throughout the Mirk-eaves. Fuirgam's Aide has asked you to defeat Taughâsh War-leaders which command the Enemy forces in the Mirk-eaves. Fuirgam's Aide: 'The order for an assault upon Dol Guldur was sudden and unexpected, but we of the Malledhrim stand eternally vigilant and ready to heed Celeborn's call. 'Fortunately, our Enemy is overconfident and seems to have ignored the possibility that we might strike first, and so we hold the advantage for now.' Objective 2 Talk to Fuirgam's Aide at Echad Sirion Fuirgam's Aide is at Echad Sirion, on the eastern banks of the Anduin. You should return to Fuirgam with news of your success. Fuirgam's Aide: 'Well done, <name>! Your skills in battle match even those of the Malledhrim! 'With most of their uruk-leaders fallen, the remaining forces of the Enemy shall soon be driven back to Dol Guldur.'
