Siege of Mirkwood (Volume II Book 9)




Answer the call of war

The Lord of the Rings Online™ sounds the battle cry and brings the war for Middle-earth to the gates of Dol Guldur with the Siege of Mirkwood digital expansion, the epic finale of LOTRO Volume II.

You’ve survived the depths of Moria and wrested glory and power from its dark halls. But now the true test has come: the Siege of Mirkwood, when the fate of all the Free Peoples of Middle-earth hinges on your courage, your skill, and your power.
War has come to Middle-earth. And nothing will ever be the same.

  • Join the elves of Lothlórien in war against Sauron among the ancient ruins, spider-haunted canyons, and foul bogs of Mirkwood
  • Discover hundreds of challenging quests in this new region
  • Advance your hero to level 65, and take the power of your Legendary Items to level 70
  • Infiltrate the Dungeons of Dol Guldur, the Deadly Sword-halls, and the Savage Warg-pens
  • Experience action like never before with new enhanced combat responsiveness
  • Risk the most challenging 12-person raid ever devised against the Nazgul Lord, Lieutenant of Dol Guldur!


Skirmishes
Jump into battle with the new Skirmish system. Skirmishes offer endless action in repeatable, randomized instances for up to 12 players. Create and lead your own army of customisable soldiers into battle, training them to greater skill as you earn victories against the forces of shadow. Stand and fight wherever violence erupts with the ‘World Join’ feature, which lets you and your friends band together to fight Skirmishes from anywhere in Middle-earth.

Mounts 2.0
The mount system has undergone a major revamp. The mounts are now counted as skills, so fewer items in your inventory and storage! Interact with NPCs while still mounted. Read about all the changes to the mount system in the Developer Diary: Mounts 2.0

And much more!

  • The epic conclusion to Volume II
  • Lonelands revamp
  • Yule festival
  • Major gameplay enhancements
