In the game "The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria," players will have to delve deeper into the dangerous mines of Moria, surviving thanks to their dwarven cunning and the ability to craft various items using tools. However, to create these items, valuable resources are needed, which can be found in orc chests. In this article, we will examine in detail how to find keys and open orc chests in this game.
Why open chests
One of the reasons for opening chests is the search for black diamonds. A black diamond is one of the first rare materials a player interacts with in the game. Although this material can be obtained randomly during battles with orcs and goblins, the likelihood of getting a black diamond as loot upon victory is very low, and there is a more reliable way to obtain it.
The best method for obtaining a black diamond is looting orc chests, starting from the Mines of Moria area and beyond. It is important to note that while chests can be found in the Elven Quarter, it seems that none of them contain black diamonds.
If the player finds their way into the Orc City from the Mines of Moria, several totems and orc chests are discovered, each of which may contain several black diamonds. Thus, this is the optimal way to get black diamonds early in the game.
Where to Find Orc Chests
Orc chests are usually located in orc camps and other hostile settlements. To find such a camp, look for wooden fortifications and banners that rise in the center of the settlement.
Chests are not always hidden and are usually located in the center of the camp. However, they are locked, and you will need to find a key to open them. Although it is not always necessary to eliminate all orcs, it is strongly recommended to clear the camp of enemies to avoid unnecessary threats.
How to Obtain the Key
You can obtain the key by destroying the orc banner in the camp. To do this, approach the banner and use a weapon or a pickaxe to destroy the structure to which it is attached. You are guaranteed to receive a key that will allow you to open the orc chest.
It is worth noting that orc chests and their camps do not respawn, so after clearing the camp, you can take all the rewards from the chest. However, be careful if there is no space in your inventory, the loot may disappear after some time.
Depending on the region within Moria, you will find different loot in orc chests. For example, orc chests in the Western Halls may contain black diamonds, while their counterparts in the Lower Deeps may contain rubies.
