Quest: Vol. I, Book 2, Chapter 5 (Fellowship): Retake Weathertop
Epic Fellowship
Category: Epic - Vol. I, Book 2: The Red Maid
Scope: Epic
Minimum Level: 18
Description
While you climbed to the peak of Weathertop, Candaith busily worked to translate the letter you recovered from Bleakrift. His translation is complete and the news he uncovered is grave.
Bestower
'(your name), I have news of Radagast, but I must ask you once again for assistance here. The letter you recovered from Bleakrift speaks of the Orcs' true goals: taking control of Amon Sûl! Orc-forces are to move towards the crest of Amon Sûl under cover of night and will move in a large group, establishing small units along the paths from that larger force.

'We cannot stand against the force when they are assembled, but we can once they are splintered. They wish to establish an encampment that will allow them a vantage over the entirety of the Lone-lands. We must foil their plans, (your name)!

'Gather allies and return to me when you are ready. Together we shall scale Amon Sûl and defeat Rigûl, their leader, before he can carry out his master's will!'
Objectives
Objective 1:
Candaith is at his camp at the foot of Weathertop.

The Ranger Candaith asked you to assist him in driving a company of Orcs from Weathertop. He told you to gather allies and return to him when you are prepared.
• Talk to Candaith and retake Weathertop with a fellowship
Objective 2:
Candaith is at his camp at the foot of Weathertop.

Candaith is waiting to discuss with you the strange events that occurred atop Amon Sûl.
• Talk to Candaith (Candaith)

Player Entry
This is another one of those very hard Lone-land quests for the level it's listed for, but the end fight sequence gets your heart pumping.

This quest is acquired from Candaith's camp, just northwest of Weathertop and east of Glumhallow. You'll have to perform a few orc kill quests and a fedex quest to Saerdan in Bree-land and back again before you get this one.

You will be working your way up Weathertop, fighting group of orcs and wargs along the way. The quest itself is fairly easy up until the very end, then it becomes extraordinarily hard.

Spoiler alert

When you get the boss orc low on health, he flees to open a gate, releasing a large troll on your group. This troll hits very hard and has 10k morale. I believe it would be very hard for a level 20 group to finish this quest successfully, but I've seen stranger things. Take blue potions, because the fight will be very long.

Avoid leaving the circle while you fight the troll to prevent pathing and reset problems. You will only be able to attempt this fight once, since Candaith locks the gate behind you. If you fail the quest, you'll have to do it all over again.

Good luck! (Gapper/Landroval)
