Objective 2
- Talk to Horn and fight alongside him
You have found Horn in the midst of battle, but the bloodshed is taking its toll on him.
- <If you completed Halros Should Go>
- Horn says, "There has been so much death today. When will it be over?'
- Halros says, "I will fight until my chief tells me to stop.'
- Horn says, "My own King fell on this field, and now I have another.'
- Halros says, "You will fight for him, I warrant, until this land is made safe?"
- Halros says, "The time for such questions is over, my new friend! Our enemies try another assault!"
- <If you completed Halros Should Stay>
- Horn says, "So much death... The field is tinged red with the blood of my kinsmen!"
- Horn says, "So many friends dead... and for what?"

Objective 3
- Talk to Horn on the battlefield
You have fought alongside Horn, but the horrors of battle are taxing his courage.
- <If you completed Halros Should Go>
- Horn: 'This young Ranger, this Halros, is able to do his duty without questioning it? Did I ever have that strength? I know that is what is expected of me, and I came here to prove it, but...
- 'If I was more like him, would I be able to fight on this field without regret? It weighs me down, even as I know why I must fight. But so many have died, and still the hosts of Mordor pour onto the plain! I thought I could protect Nona and our child from harm, but I see now that there is no hope of that. There are too many evils arrayed against us!'
- Your limbs are held by a powerful force, and you are unable to move!
- <If you completed Halros Should Stay>
- Horn: 'The enemies that pour forth from Mordor will not stop until they have slain every last one of us, <name>. They will not stop even then, for there is no mercy in their hearts. They will kill even women and children, the old and the infirm.
- 'I do not regret my decision! I will fight to make Nona and our child safe, and if I never see them again I will go to my grave knowing that I did what I could. I do not fight for glory or for honour. I fight for time, not for myself but for those I love!'

- Horn's breath comes raggedly, and there are tears in his eyes.
- 'Halros sprang to my defence, and took the blows that were meant for me. He died in my place... there was nothing I could do...'
- Calenglad: 'There is no time to mourn, <name>! We have to find Aragorn, for I fear he has gotten too far ahead and may become surrounded by his foes if we do not aid him!'

- Gothmog says, "I am afraid you have wasted a journey, for I cannot be ended!"
- Gothmog says, "My will is tethered to the pitiful Ranger Golodir, and to this world."
- Gothmog says, "While he lives, I cannot be slain!"
- Gothmog says, "What is this?"
- Halbarad says, "You are a fool, no matter what name you wear."
- Gothmog says, "Explain yourself before you die!"
- Corunir says, "Golodir is slain! He came south to the aid of Aragorn, our chief!"
- Corunir says, "He felled the Olog Thrúgrath, and died."
- Gothmog says, "No... he suffered such grief... how can it be?"

- Aragorn says, "So too do I know yours."
