![]() ![]() ![]() Solo or Multiplayer?: I will recommend playing this Solo, or with as few players as possible.What is different about this quest?: Objectives, resetting quest cards, enemies scale with the number of Clues. ![]() Play if: you want to feel nostalgic about playing the first AP ever, play if you haven’t beaten it (in a while).Encounter sets: Journey along the Anduin, Sauron’s Reach, the Hunt for Gollum.Found in: The Hunt for Gollum Adventure Pack, Shadows of Mirkwood cycle, pack 1.Let’s take a look at the quest and what strategies you can use to stand a good chance at beating it. Overall, it’s a decent quest in the cycle, but it does not stand out so much as others. The quest can also be pretty punishing, with some nasty treacheries and the real threat of location lock, thanks to some unbalanced cards that you may encounter in this quest. The Hunt for Gollum is a relatively tame quest, with a few mechanics that are new to players (chiefly the objectives having to be found in the encounter deck). In more recent times, the Dark of Mirkwood Scenario pack is now a good bridge from the Core Set to the cycle, but new players will likely face this quest early on in their collection. It was the first one ever released and starts off the first cycle of the game. The Hunt for Gollum is often the first Adventure Pack that players buy after their Core Set. I will not be doing these articles back-to-back, but I will mix them in with some Nightmare scenario reviews and other content as we get along. More details on other questions that you might have about the quest before going in will also be answered. I will also expand on the article by reviewing every card in the pack (even if I have to repeat myself if the encounter set was mentioned before), and I will look at Shadow effects as well. I feel that these articles are a bit outdated and do not match the in-depth style of some more recent articles. I revised the Core Set scenarios back in 2020, and I now want to dedicate some time to revising all 6 AP scenarios from the Shadows of Mirkwood cycle. Back then, I was still trying out different styles and formats for my articles. It has been over 4 years since my first article on this quest. ![]()
