...as we continued to fight, several more of these (strategic) encounters came up. For example, when we fought the mighty mammoth, once the creature was defeated we then had to deal with the critter's rider, who was no push over.
While the warmth of the steam vents helped our group defeat the Ice Giants, the cold was similarly as harmful against our party. Although the winds couldn't outright kill us, they did hinder the strength of our arms and cut into our ability to heal ourselves. Thankfully, the LOTRO developers had outfitted us with Forochel oriented gear that gave us resistances to the cold. Character's without cold resistance will have to huddle around fires often, as heat sources are the best way to avoid degeneration from the chilly Forchel landscape.
Even with the chilling effects of the weather in Forochel, adventurers and explorers will definitely want to take a look at every nook and cranny in the new area. Forochel is an incredibly large space, along the same size as the North Downs, so groups of players will certainly be eager to check out the latest landscapes.
Dungeon crawlers will also find plenty to do in the latest update, with a very large public dungeon available to players who are interested in delving into this area of Forochel.
