Embark on an epic quest in Return to Moria and unearth the hidden Dragon’s Den. This guide will guide your path through the game’s intricate map to the lair of the formidable beast.
Return to Moria Dragon Location
The Dragon location lies hidden under the depths of Barazinbar. Unlike other quests, there’s no direct marker to guide you. Your journey will involve thorough exploration of the area.
Clues to Guide Your Quest
The quest hints at a battle and directs you to look the Dragon’s Hoard with a Mithril spear. The dragon is believed to have built her hoard near the resting place of Durin’s Bane, deep under Barazinbar. The quest involves tracing the Balrog’s ancient resting place.
Misleading Route to Dragon’s Location
While the lore suggests the Mithril mining by Dwarves awakened the Balrog, leading you to believe the “Mithril Mine Shaft” in The Darkest Deeps might be the path, this is a red herring.
Real Path to the Dragon’s Den
Your actual journey will take you through the Barazinbar section of the map. Expect to navigate a labyrinthine maze, moving across various levels.
Identifying Your Destination
You’ll know you’re close when you encounter a vast hall obstructed by Orkish barricades. This hall, connected to a large cavernous room, is the pathway to the Dragon’s Hoard, though it’s not a straight route.
Setting Up Base
Before advancing, it’s wise to establish a nearby camp equipped with essentials like a Bedroll, Repair Forge, and Meal Table. Additional amenities like a Map Stone can be beneficial. Prepare for battles against numerous Orcs.
Essential Equipment
Ensure you have the Mithril Spear, a vital weapon against both the dragon and the Orcs and Wargs. Crafting this weapon requires Mithril.
Breaking Through and Final Confrontation
Once you break the wooden barrier, you’ll go into The Domain of the Shadow Orcs. Destroy the Orc Camps to stop more Orcs from coming. After this, you’ll find the Dragon’s Hoard and have a big battle with Narag-Shazon, who is the reason for the Shadow Seals in Moria.
Final Verdict
In short, carefully explore Barazinbar, follow clues to the Dragon’s lair near Durin’s Bane, and avoid wrong paths like the Mithril Mine Shaft. Navigate the maze on the Barazinbar map, find the hall with Orkish barricades to locate the Dragon’s Hoard. Set up camp, equip the Mithril Spear, and break through barriers for the final battle in The Domain of the Shadow Orcs. Defeat Narag-Shazon to reveal the source of Moria’s Shadow Seals. Prepare for an exciting adventure with challenges, discoveries, and an epic showdown with the Dragon.
