A ruling this month about card immunity and attacking enemies in the staging area (see the post here) opens up a path for defeating The Nameless Fear in Flight from Moria. Hands Upon the Bow is a legal card to play against this enemy. Dunhere and Great Yew Bow won't work.

Anybody tried?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: you will need Hama to cycle Hands Upon the Bow, and you'll need to beef the heck out of somebody. Erebor Battle Master with a Dunedain Cache and a cadre of dwarves at their back? Throw in Dunedain Marks and dual-wielding Dwarrodelf Axes to further boost the attack power. Call up the Support of the Eagles to add up to 9 attack power from Vassals of the Windlord, or even more if you manage to beef up some Eagles of the Misty Mountain first.

All this while trying hard not to advance quest cards (+victory points, noooo!) or get wiped out by A Foe Beyond or Dark and Dreadful.

Gimli has base attack of 2.
With Dain's buff total attack of 3.
Play Khazad-Khazad x3 for total attack of 3+9 = 12
Attach 2 Platemail and 12 wounds for total attack of 12 + 12 = 24
Attach Dunedain Mark x 3 for total attack of 24 x 3 = 27
Exhaust x 3 Support of Eagle to burrow attack strength of Eagles of Misty Mountain with 14 Eagles attached underneath (3 Vassal, 3 Guardian, 3 Descendent, 3 Landroval*, 2 Eagles of Misty Mountains) for total attack of 27 + (3 x 14) = 69
Play x3 Song of Durin for total attack of 69 + 6 = 75
Attach Dunedain Cache to make Gimli ranged
Play Hands Upon Bow to attack Nameless fear with 76** Attack Strength Gimli

If this isn't satisfying enough, attach Keeping Counts on Gimli and Legolas, make sure Gimli's Keeping Count has 0 Resources and Legolas' Keeping Count has X resources for additional X attack strength for Gimli where X is amount of time and patience you have.

*I assume you can play other copies of Landroval once a copy of Landroval that was in play becomes facedown attachment.
** Hands Upon Bow gives additional Attack Strength,
