- 'What can have driven Golodir to make this dangerous journey? Has he lost all hope for the future? He has suffered so much, more than any one Man should, and yet he persevered. Has he at last given in to despair?

Objective 13
- Defeat Erebún
- Golodir must survive
- Corunir must survive

- Golodir says, "Some part of me knew that Erebún had dominance over my mind..."
- Golodir says, "...but even the small hope of seeing Lorniel again was hope enough. I did not fight him."
- Golodir says, "I am ashamed. I am no Ranger."
- Corunir says, "No, Golodir, you are wrong!"
- Corunir says, "You are the bravest Ranger I know! Why else would Erebún seek to master your mind?"
- Corunir says, "He sought to deprive us of you, and at a moment when we need you the most."
- Corunir says, "The Dúnedain are gathering. We must ride to the aid of our lord Aragorn. We need you, Golodir."
- Golodir says, "So the time has come at last."
- Golodir says, "Perhaps it will do me some good to leave Angmar behind."
- Golodir says, "These shadows have become too familiar. It will be best to leave them behind."
- Corunir: 'I shudder to think of what awaited Golodir beyond that door, <name>. Erebún's dominance on the mind of my mentor was strong; what would Golodir have seen here had he remained under the Rogmul's power?
- 'I care not to guess. I know only that it would not have been Lorniel, and perhaps that would have been enough to destroy Golodir forever.
- 'Let us escape to the surface! Nûrz Gâshu is no place for us, or for our loved ones!'
