Walkthrough & Notes

Linking quest for Update 17
To get on the correct path to Minas Tirith/Pelennor, enter from the forest patch west of Harlond. There is a break in the wall bordering Lossarnach and Pelennor (Rammas Echor, ^{[71.7S, 19.9W]}).
You need to get to Minas Tirith on your own -- no auto travel!

~~Known issue on release: Pelennor - Debris blocks passage from Osgiliath into the Pelennor; instead, the Pelennor can be entered through a hole in the Rammas Echor at Harlond~~ (Fixed in the 27 October Hotfix.) You can also access Minas Tirith using Mithril Coins for Swift Travel from various locations, including Dol Amroth and the Twenty-first Hall.

Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue

You have been summoned by Mablung, who requests your presence at his hold out in Osgiliath.

You should meet Mablung and his men as soon as you are able.

Background

You have been summoned by Mablung to his hold out in Osgiliath where he hopes you will be able to aid the great Gondorian city, Minas Tirith.

Objective 1

Talk to Mablung at the Ranger Hideout in Osgiliath

Mablung can be found at his hideout within the culverts of Osgiliath.

You have been summoned by Mablung to aid Gondor as the Enemy presses closer to the city of Minas Tirith.

Mablung: 'With or without Lord Faramir, we can delay no longer, my friend. I fear Osgiliath may be lost. My men and I are in the talks of retreating from this post so that we may aid Minas Tirith.

'Damrod has elected to lead us through the city as he knows Osgiliath better than I. Speak with him if you wish to assist us.'

Objective 2

Talk to Damrod at the Ranger hideout in Osgiliath

Damrod can be found at the Ithilien Ranger hideout within the culverts of Osgiliath.

You have been asked by Mablung to aid Damrod in leading the Rangers out of Osgiliath.

Damrod: 'I am glad you have come, <name>. The enemy has overtaken Osgiliath and they now march towards the Rammas. We could use one with your skills when we retreat from Osgiliath.

'We make ready to move through Osgiliath towards the Causeway Forts. Will you join us, my friend?

'Once we have made it safely to the White City, seek out Curugnod. He is a good man, and I am sure that he will put your skills to use if you so desire to continue to help Gondor.'

Objective 3

Travel to Minas Tirith and speak with Curugond

Master builder, Curugond, can be found in the first circle of Minas Tirith, near the lower stables.

You have asked by Damrod to speak to Curugond after you make the journey to Minas Tirith.

Curugond: 'The lands east of here are completely ravaged by the enemy. Is it true that you traversed Osgiliath, the Causeway Forts, and Pelennor Fields? I almost cannot believe it! The White City will certainly benefit from your aid, brave warrior.'
