Candaith has been preparing the defences on the peak of Weathertop. Speak with him to confirm the plan for defeating the impending assault.

- 'The minions of Angmar have come already to Amon Sûl. I have laid a trap for them, but I fear this will be a foe beyond my strength alone.'
- Candaith says, "The darkness has encroached far, can you feel it deadening your limbs?"
- The Enemy has begun to march
- Candaith says, "I have added herbs to these campfires, if you light them it will fight back against the darkness and return some of your battle prowess."
