LotRO: Hero's guide to Zelem-melek

Filed under: Fantasy, Lord of the Rings Online, Expansions, Game mechanics, Guides, Lore, MMO industry, PvE


In this week's Hero's Guide for Lord of the Rings Online's Mines of Moria, we get an in-depth look at Zelem-melek. This area is just east of the Great Delving and the first spot you can venture when taking a rented goat mount in the mines themselves. If you choose to explore from the Hollin Gate to Zelem-melek, be aware of many Orcs and Goblins in your path.

This Hero's guide explains much more than what creatures you will face, though. We get a look at the lore and history behind this vast area, as well as the best methods for navigating its crumpled ruins. You can also check out some of our previous coverage on these areas through Turbine's video trailers, released prior to Mines of Moria's launch. If you're new to this Hero's Guide series, check out the complete collection and stay tuned for more!
