Spoilers Ahead!
New LOTR player here and wow is this tough! I thought I was kicking butt and was thinking wow how is this rated 7 difficulty. Then the four trolls with 10 health appear and absolutely stomp me! Their crazy abilities are nothing to sneeze at either. And I thought AH LCG had some rough scenarios!
Yup, LotR has quite a few of those "Wait what!" moments! Haha!
Conflict at the Carrock is a classic though, at least for me. Do you want any strategy tips?
As you play the game some more, many scenarios have some nuances that you can pick up on. One thing the Conflict teaches you is that if you see a quest card with a "just quest on through" and "set aside these enemies" that you might be in for a battle at the end, so prepare accordingly.
I learned the hard way to appreciate these wtf moments. When you beat those scenarios you simultaneously take your play and deckbuilding to a new level. Conflict at the Carrock was my first hurdle, and it made me a much better player and I felt so good for beating it. I just beat Siege of Cair Andros for the first time, so the game has several more scenarios of this kind.

Here's another thread I started awhile back about this scenario, maybe you could pick up some tips there:
Funny thing is, I don't remember writing that, and I very much doubt I would use that particular deck now, the way it's set up. I was pretty much of a newb at the time (still am, I guess, but I'm getting the hang of it). The main thing I remember (I think) was trying to keep the threat low and not letting all the trolls jump me at once. I find Wandalf gives pretty good advice, so I'd listen to him.
I play solo progressive style, so all those cards would have been available at the time of the scenario's release.
