Level 7: Moria - Mazes
----------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Just go where you can
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: NE corner
Shrines: Middle (Shrine)
Detailed Guide:
Go southeast when you first enter this level. Don't break
open the barrel you pass unless you want to release a
goblin drummer, a creature that can raise your corruption
if left unchecked. Go through the door in the lower right
hand corner of the room and turn left until you hit the
far left wall. Go down along the wall until you see and
reach a door that you can go through. Go to the southwest
corner of the new room. Knock the statue onto the button
and go down through the open door. Go right and continue
in that direction until you reach a door leading upwards.
Go through that door. There is a shrine near the middle
of the room if you want to use it. Otherwise, turn right
right after you enter the room. Go right until you hit
a vertical wall. Go up now until you find a door. Go to
the right upon entering the room, then go up when you
have to. Wrap around the wall you are walking beside and
hit the button you see on the otherside. Go down and to
the right from the button and go down through the open
door. Go straight down until you reach some stairs. Go
down the stairs and continue down until you reach a gap.
Go down through the gap and turn right. Keep going to the
right until you see a doorway leading up. Go through the
doorway and keep going up and go through the doorway
above this one. Keep going up, through another doorway.
The exit to the level is in the northwest corner of this
room.

You start off in front of a closed door. In order to
progress you need to hit two switches, but one doesn't
appear until the other one is hit. First, start going to
the right, defeating all of the enemies that you find. If
you follow the map you should be able to find and hit the
lever. Return to the starting location. Next you want to
go left, and you should be able to find the switch inside
of a room. Again return to the starting location. Now you
can go down the stairs directly in front of your starting
location. You will be in a huge room with several pillars
and many enemies and breakable containers. Two hero
creatures will also be in this area. Continue in the same
direction and down more stairs. You will be in a room with
two more hero creatures. There are two stairs, one (to the
left) has nothing, while the other thinner one leads up
to a Shrine. To progress, you have to take the path in
betwwen two of the stairs to an open trapdoor, which will
take you to a lower floor. On the lower floor, you should
generally move toward the right and you will eventually
reach the exit.

defeating the few enemies that great you as soon as you

cutscene:
Cutscene-
Gimli: Let them come! There is one Dwarf yet in Moria who
still draws breath!
(Enemies surround you but then start fleeing away)
(Ground shaking)
Gimli: What is this devilry?
Gandalf: A Balrog... a demon of the ancient world! Run!
To the Bridge of Khazad-dum!

----------------------------
Difficulty: Easy

through. Start by heading the only direction you can go
and move down the stairways. After going down two stairs,

with Gandalf, who will want to cross the bridge:
Cutscene-
Frodo: Gandalf! Aragorn, what is he doing?
Aragorn: Frodo, keep moving! Don't look back!
Go left. Go through the gap in the wall and then go up the
stairs to the exit.

-------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy

Starting Location: Top of the screen
Ending Location:
Shrines: Middle (Forge)
Detailed Guide: Immediately upon entering this level there
will be a cutscene mourning Gandalf's death:
Cutscene-
Aragorn: Have you the strength to walk? We're going now.
Frodo: Despite the heaviness in my heart, I think I can.
Aragorn: He was a dear old friend... I am sorry Frodo.
Frodo: ...
Head down until you have to turn left. (Go around the tree
to the right, not the left) If you go down and turn left at
the right time, you should see a shrine (Forge). After the
shrine go down, turn right, and then go down again. Turn
right and continue right until the end. This is a very
straightforward level.

terminates at the end of a little raised ridge. Head down
from that end of the wall until you reach another wall.

the right along the same wall. Continue going right until
the end. This level does have a white pool and a chest,
but they aren't essential to your quest or for beating
the level.
