A game as immersive as The Lord of the Rings: War would not be what it is today if it didn't include at least one (or more) of the iconic battles that fans know from books or movies, and what better way to experience these battles than by assembling an army and marching right in the middle of the action?
In this article, we are going to take a look atSome of the iconic battles fought in the kingdom of Middle-earth, which any player can access through the Westmarch Red Book and design the best strategy to win.
From the Battle of Moria, fought in the dwarf city of Azanulbizar Valley, to something more massive, like the Battle of Helm's Deep, which decimated Saruman's forces, here are some the five best battles in which players can immerse themselves through the game The Lord of the Rings: War.
The Siege of Minas Tirith
Westmarch Red Book Phase 17
The greatest battle that has taken place in Middle-earth, that of Minas Tirith, is one of the most prominent, both in the game and in the movies. In this battle of epic proportions between Mordor and Gondor, alliances are established between the factions that give rise to what we see in The Lord of the Rings: War (the good and the bad factions).
At the gates of the White City a beautiful and massive battle takes place, and the battle with the Army of the Witch-king who defeated the army of Denethor II it is not something to be overlooked.
It takes a lot planning and strategy to overcome this phase of the game, which is a fitting tribute to the incredible scope of the battle depicted in the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
Helm's Deep
Stage 11 of the Westmarch Red Book
Helm's Deep Battle is another key battle in the history of Middle-earth. This battle is not only one of the most beautiful in the movie, but also one of the most descriptive in the books.
After Saruman sends his forces to attack Rohan, he finishes losing most of his army from Uruk-hai after Gandalf the White and Eomer confront him.
While in The Lord of the Rings: War this battle is not portrayed as cinematically as it is in the film, it still shows the beautiful fortress of Helm's Deep and the epic battle that takes place there.
Battle of the Black Gate
Stage 18 of the Westmarch Red Book
The last iconic Red Book battle of Westmarch, the Battle of the Black Gate, is the one that truly shows the greatness of the Middle-earth saga. In an attempt to help Frodo destroy the One Ring in Mordor, the Free Peoples of Middle-earth do their best to hold out while Frodo can carry out his task.
With the help of Legolas, Aragorn, Merry and Pippin and the army of Gandalf the White, attack the Black Gate of Mordor not an easy task (despite the huge armies).
Although the Ringwraiths are mightyThanks to the Eagles, another key unit in The Lord of the Rings: War, the battle is tilted in favor of the Community of Moria
Stage 7 of the Westmarch Red Book
This is by far one of the The Fellowship of the Ring's most iconic battles, a fight that takes place in the fallen corridors of the underground kingdom of the dwarves, after the Fellowship attempts to escape from the orcs in the Mithril mines.
This battle between the great Balrog of Morgoth and Gandalf the Gray is as intense as one can imagine, and for many it is one of the Most notable battles of The Lord of the Rings.
The Fall of Isengard
Stage 12 of the Westmarch Red Book
After losing the battle for Helm's Deep, Saruman met his end when the Ents of the Fangorn Forest descended on Isengard, smashing its gates and flooding the city by destroying the walls of its dam.
With Merry and Pippin acting as your commanders, The Lord of the Rings: War allows you to lead an army of gigantic arboreal units against the remnants of Orcs and Men that make up Saruman's last forces to put an end to the nefarious machinations of the villainous Wizard.
