Chapter 11 Question (kind of SPOILER?)

By HanScottFirst, in The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth

So, not asking for spoilers about Chapter 11 (bankruptcy, jk), just got there, but when it says "Warning: If you lose this scenario, the campaign will end" it doesn't just reset you to square 1 if you lose, right? Or like, auto delete? Or idk some other horrible thing? Can you retry it??

I've played the first 4 scenarios way too many times, and I am not too keen on replaying 10 scenarios if I lose. Fantastic game, I just don't have that time right now 😛

Hi,

Yes the campaign does end and you have to start again, there is no retry option. However the app saves at the start of every round so you could reload the game and then cheat the game by clicking on whatever tokens or enemies need to be defeated to progress. Personally I haven't done this but it is an option rather than having to go for a total restart.

I have another (definitely spoiler) question about this scenario.

So, is there a way to win that doesn’t involve breaking the mirrors?

multiple times it says stuff like “decide how to keep the mirrors out of Atarins hands” and “you’ve found all the mirrors but now you must decide how to protect them”. So we cleared literally the whole map of tokens and enemies, including Atarin himself when he showed up, and did all conversation options with the Wraiths. And no other option was presented to us other than breaking the mirrors.

Then we were majorly screwed when we decided to break the mirrors (with the threat bar almost full) and then we had more things to do.

we just felt it was a major narrative fail to imply that there was an actual choice to be made.

If you're right that there is no other option, it is misleading. Still, it's probably deliberate. I think they wanted to portray the fact that any other choice would backfire.
