Visored helmet zone
Location: zone n from Forlond
Strategy: first you need to receive the oaken rod from either the young Dwarf or the Shepherdess (just enter their rooms, and: ask dwarf in Khuzdul about 'Unnumbered Tears', or ask elf in Sindarin 'Nirnaeth Arnoediad'). Listen long story, after that one of them will get rod from sack and give you (though, it loads rarely, chance is like 10-15% per zonerepop).
Go to the mystical rings some sw of Shepherdess and look at glyphs on the rod. There are seven different types of glyphs on the rod, and the mystical rings contains of seven stones with diffenrent paintings. Now simply place the rod (ex. “put rod wedding”) in the right stone and in the right order. Here is a list of glyphs vs. stonepaintings.
Mistletoe - Wedding Tree - Hunt Flame - Battle Cloud - River Star - Mountain Harp - Feast Crown - Funeral
If you did this right, then stonedoor to the west will open. Go w, and now
you're inside. Just small advice before entering: don't be afraid of all these
messages about “something cold touches your arm”, “something moving in the
corner of your eye” - it's just mudlle effects, they don't hurt at all :)
Go s, e, d, n, push or pull handle (no difference). If you don't, to the
north is a trap and you will fall down one room. 2 mobs here - mottled snake
and watersnake, kill them. In this room a trapdoor is locked up and a secret
west, hiddenladder, open it and go w.
Now you're back from room you fell down from. There is hidden exit w (wall) -
it is another way out. Now you should go e. In this room are 1 stone beast and
1 stone statue, you must at least kill the statue to be able to go s. This room
has exit s and a hidden exit e (dragonhead).
Go s first, now you're in the lever room. The levers should be set to todays
date, by either pulling or pushing it. I guess it will clean up the load room
from water, so you don't have to fight the mobs underwater. After this go s
kill statue, go either es or se and kill 1 beast and 1 statue. Here is a hidden
exit e (secretdoor), open it and go e and loot all. Now go back to lever room
and go n.
Open dragonhead and go e, d and s. Here are 2 nonaggresive dwarf statues and
a sarcophagus. If you try loot they will attack you. Kill them and loot helmet.
Level: Solo legend any class.
Loads: Large visored helmet, full ringmail set, battle axe, 2H axe and sometimes thin plate.
