Cauliflowerland

Thurwingwath: There is one more place to visit and I think the developers must have skimped out on this zone. There is a little chain of quests following Gandalf to a strange altar. That's about it. The rest of the path has you tracking down Rare Minas Morgul Chests and pages, of all things in Cauliflowerland as I call it because of the white trees on the map. Don't freak out if you think you are seeing faces. Faces of the dead will appear in the white and green fog. You'll eventually find this huge place at the very end with some trees and a few gaunt-men lurking about. If you wander around, it is possible to get underneath the fortress... though there isn't anything down there. You'll want to head to the third floor in the middle to grab a couple of important items. And then you'll want to discover the instance too.

 

Bar Nirnaeth: The Houses of Lamentation: I don't know about you but the developers definitely put some fine work into this place. Well, except for the fact that people ask the same ridiculous question: "How do I defeat the tree?" Honestly, it gets pretty dumb when a hunter has to remove 5 corruptions from the tree with an ability that removes 1 every minute when going in solo. There is a lot of detail, maybe too much detail with the amount of talking that happens. Some are skippable, some are not. In any case, you will see a quick and easy defeat of Lhaereth the Stained when she finds out the truth about her beloved tree. But honestly I think it is the second boss that gives people's some problems. First, do not fall down the scary Star Wars Jabba the Hut trap. Second, pull the boss as far away as possible from the cracked healing walking vessels so he doesn't get healed. The red bar simply becomes a "shared" health bar between the two once they get past a certain distance.
