Return to Moria - Top Beginner's Tips You Need To Know!

[@sekurity730]

Additional Tips: 1. Mauls/Battlehammers do increased damage to armored enemies, Axes do increased damage to trees and unarmored enemies, and Swords are best for hitting multiple enemies. 2. Build an Oven ASAP. I'm guessing you missed this because if youre at the place with elven wood, you should be able to make it. Ovens allow you to make meals and take them with you. Think of these as health potions but also eliminate hunger. 3. Enchant your weapons at the Rune Table. I waited too long to do this myself and it helps immensely. The lightning enchant is great especially when hordes or sieges occur.

[@whiteclouddakota1451]

Thank you!!!!

[@Kijinn]

My advice for those who are stressed out by the sieges: Don't build your base on the ground, but somewhere up high. The higher you go, the less likely you are to get attacked by bats. That should also be the height at which archers won't be able to see you. Platforms help you in climbing. You don't need actual ground to place wood or stone floor. Just attach it to a wall (natural or built). You can also place any of the required objects up there, like hearths or forges. Sieges at my high base always end without enemy contact. They just give up and disappear after ~60-90 seconds.

[@Sibb13]

My 2 cents, don't destroy all the orc banners to get the keys. If you run out of black diamonds you'll want to farm the orcs. If you leave the banners up the orcs respawn. You can open the orc chests with your pick ax.

[@a.plipps]

Always craft wall torches or standing torches. Darkness consumes Morale. Also if you break pots you'll get seeds. Find dwarven villages near water areas and you'll often find plant pots where you can plant your seeds

[@briannatrainer5288]

i just reached the forge yesterday, when you knock down the center pillars (where the goblins spawn), not only do they not respawn but they all drop the key to get into the chests sitting there. but using a pickaxe will break it a lot faster compared to the axe. we also knock down the bottom walls on the buildings we arent interested in. gives a ton of wood and stone and it collapses everything up top.

[@En3rgyLee]

Also, you can start all your furnaces and foods and then go to sleep. Once you wake up all of them will be done instantly. No need to wait. Also, later on down you’ll be able to craft meals to go. I’m in the mines now building up my third camp and then going to move on. Playing solo b4 I try playing with others, helps keep the experience fresh 😄

[@jamesjacobs8864]

I'm doing the same no where near as far as you are though what do you play on?

[@En3rgyLee]

@@jamesjacobs8864 you’ll get there eventually. It’s pretty fun. I stopped playing a good while ago. But when I did it was PC. With all the new updates I may consider getting it for PS5.

[@alxiong]

When you progress through the game, you can craft an Oven (there is also a cooking pit later). You can craft certain food/meals to heal and keep on you on the go. There are healing foods that you can use when in danger. There is QUITE a depth to this game which is impressive.

[@Timithos]

The Oven cooks the Ration class of food items. All these Rations can go into your inventory. The Hearth cooks all the other stay in camp meals.

[@turankhan2381]

Also, the Hearth foods DO spoil while the benefit of Oven-cooked rations is that they NEVER spoil, hehehe

[@PhoenixKing1611]

The Blue Meter is actually how much armor you have, There is a darker shade of blue behind how much you're wearing. IF you hit TAB to open your inventory and look down where those meters are you'll see that it tells you. Armor, health, and food. From top to bottom. Not light level....

[@michaelrogers9322]

Rock and stone! Wait...

[@dokinstmynballensugje]

ROCK ANND STOOOOOONNEE

[@GameSpyDarkAge]

Did I hear a Rock n Stone!?

[@ShrekTickler]

Guys I need help because this game isn’t rock and stone enough for me so I need a new phrase

[@thedarkones2226]

ROCK AND STOOOOOONE!

[@iamAlpharious]

If you don’t rock and stone you ain’t coming home.

[@xden]

Hit R and you can throw stuff. Helps a lot with the forge pieces.

[@Cryotyde]

Wish I had seen this (or at least thought of this) about 20-minutes ago. I just did the forge pieces and it could have been a less clunky experience had I thought of this. Thanks for sharing though.

[@vahdettinsefali]

Oh man, carried those two pieces for ages. And they were also present near the forge, i just didnt see them. Instead i went back to my camp and crafted :(

[@daliOtter]

During combat don't just spam the attack button, holding it down allows you to do a power attack for much more damage. Took us quite a while to learn that little nugget.

[@Elendalar]

The deconstruckt tip was a lifesaver!

[@Kijinn]

Why do some people never look at the key mapping options? There will always be games with unusual keys/functions, that aren't explained anywhere.

[@nathanweese3812]

We were able to store roast meat for later by having a character with full inventory (and maybe full belly?) grab meals which then fell on the floor and could be stored for later. Maybe just a glitch but super nice early game. Or try destroying the table thats full of food (using x) Dropped meals can be eaten on the go, rushing home during a tough fight sucks.

[@reeenatu]

If you craft a coal and then craft any meal food (that requires the meal table) when you collect the coal you'll get the meal as well in your inventory

[@metzli5797]

The size of hordes does scale up with more players, the hordes are just very large.

[@BradyRay_333]

I was wondering about this.

[@pokemontrainerthink9045]

Once you get an oven you can make lembas bread and jerky and stuff which you can take with you for food and they heal you too

[@footthumb]

I spotted the first 2 Narvi repair items but didn’t even bother with the orc-men camp so I only had to walk one item all the way from the Elven Woods entrance to the forge. Also, your roll/dodge has I-frames (I think it’s for the entire animation). That’s a great way to manage hordes solo.

[@gato-v5x]

Repairing statues !!! Thank you i'would never notice this without your video

[@bobafitt]

Very helpful early beginner Tipps, thanks mate.

[@Brian-ch6hg]

Looks pretty cool. Thanks for the tips, TV!

[@DominiqueComte]

to discover many features of any game, start by going through the command options (the key mappings). it would have shown you the deconstructing option from the start :) as a non-US player, it is often an obligation just to be able to move anyway.

[@dawnmartin1621]

i love this game, dont have a clue what im doing yet but its still fun af 😂😂 thx for the vid and tips!

[@artwithalexander5359]

thanks man, definitely a couple of things i missed today.

[@feuderali1234]

Some meals are classed as 'Rations' and you can take those with you.

[@crazylazylee892]

You can take food with you buy using an oven

[@Dukiees]

Played this game all day today soo much fun

[@spicy_xinger]

glad you're making it work as a variety streamer!

[@207KalashBoy]

This one is for the offline players, if youre playing on version 1.00 or 1.01, some of the statues are bugged and wont give you recipes. I got all the way down to the Pump House without the Erebor ringmail and got my progression got halted because enemies were to strong and numerous for low tier equipment. Version 1.02 fixes this and youll have to go back and rebuild the statues but you will get the recipes now.

[@Cryotyde]

Tip: Press & Hold "E" to automatically collect items on the floor en masse.

[@briantriplett2667]

its just the secon day of owning this game for me thank you for the great video and the comments are awsome info to =)

[@lachiripiolca]

Would you recommend this game? It piqued my interest with its trailer

[@Kijinn]

I would recommend it if you like survival based games like "ARK", "The Forest" or Minecraft. The world design is quite remarkable and rewards exploration. Maybe avoid it if you need great stories or complex combat for entertainment.

[@charlescrawford1788]

Where do you get the recipe for the door? I got the wall with door opening, but no door.

[@BradyRay_333]

Did you already figure this out? It's on the far left of the build menu, the icon looks like just a door.

[@Timithos]

That stone door opening is just an opening and useless to put a door in. You have to build a Simple Door, which is an all-in-one stone wall section with door. Perhaps later in the game, a stone door insert is an recipe option.

[@windfallthomas676]

for those forge parts, the first one often has two of the three peices just lying around the room, look for them and just make the last one thats missing

[@michaelmiles2647]

The last one (pipe for me) was outside of the forge in the big orc structure

[@skylerstokman2869]

5:45 nooo! I'm sorry you had to do that, man! Luckily for me, I found the pipe piece first and figured you'd just need to look around there. All you need to get up is one or two stairs pieces, no matter how awkwardly placed they are, as long as you can drop onto it, all good

[@GrendelMTL]

The Oven makes meals to go

[@macfeelye536]

Great video! You should do another one that Mentions how to add way points to the map. This comes in handy when you find a Muznaken(sp?) shrine and the Ranger's Camps. Helps to find them again when you get the items for them. And in that you can talk about the shrines, statues, journal pages and the camps. Keep up the great work!

[@jakkrit6910]

i think you can make a stove or something to craft ready meal. also thanks for the tips. i hope they will drop black diamond but i think i will have to manualy move item from my first base...

[@robertdewolfe1654]

Cool game! First ive seen. Is there good combat? Was the bear killable?

[@unusualwale624]

Yes and yes

[@likeyoutubers5454]

Combat is awful but u can kill bears they drop hide and meat

[@Kijinn]

Combat is actually quite okay, certainly not awful, if you can manage using a block key. Maybe a bit too easy. It really just lacks variety and impact.

[@ijuswannahackiphones]

There are lots of attack variants but the game does not tell you about any of them. You have to figure them out. There are multiple charge variants, light attack variants, shield attacks. So it isn’t that bad at all

[@13mgreg]

Can you turn on the lanterns everywhere??? I find the torches and wall torches dont give off enough light and feel like im wasting material

[@zacharyhowell3962]

Let me catch a so called self respecting dwarf using anything "elven" and I'll shave his beard.

[@CrimsonNightsGaming]

What if someone chose a Dwarf with no beard? Would you then shave their head? Not me but just saying it was an option lol

[@ItsFunnyAndYaKnowIt]

I don't know who you are but I know I like you 😆

[@theonlyhorus]

It's the fourth age, they kissed and make up.

[@davemurray7505]

What's the blue thing in the top right? Also is there a way to heal in the field? Instead of eating meals at base.

[@justashadow126]

The blue thing in the top right is just a notification counter. Make an oven everything you cook in that can be carried to eat later. Some are better than others... a key ingredient for the best spawns im the elven areas

[@josephiovine8952]

My one concern with this game was not having a true "home base", which is something I enjoy in survival games. Is it possible to still keep a large base of operations or are you constantly moving to new areas and starting new bases?

[@TrueVanguard]

Yeah that's definitely a drawback of the game. I'm the same way, I want to plant my roots and really make a big home base with all the bells and whistles. And there is fast travel in the game, but it has limitations. But you will definitely be constantly progressing so you will be rebuilding all of your resources and forge needs everywhere you go.

[@Natharneal]

You get fast travel options for your base so you could just travel back and forth, that way you can have a main base you just go back to.

[@izorion6443]

I made my 'main base' at the Great Forge. As I venture deeper, I just make rudimentary bases that include a fast travel

[@Kijinn]

The game doesn't force you to give up old bases, nor will it prevent you from returning there. I've made a "home base" at the start of the game and keep walking back to it frequently. Take note though, I'm a gamer without ADHD-like problems and really enjoy the view of the landscape so much that walking back and forth never worries me. The only thing you need to be aware of is that you should absolutely build outposts as you travel onward. Sometimes the way back is too far for the time you have available (There is a day/night cycle, despite being underground). I'd also recommend to not plan on building a home base before the elven area. You'll get more resources there.

[@WoVic]

Im working out of one main base just before elven quarter and am now 3-4 zones further. Later unlock of fast travel helped a lot

[@bigteej8366]

I had no idea this game existed. Interesting. Good to see you having fun.

[@L3and3rM]

It came out today!

[@bigteej8366]

I looked it up. Survival crafting? I am out but I hope everyone else has fun.

[@magpi3684]

Keep it pushing TV!

[@paulaccuardi9071]

I got to the mines and I repaired all the statues I found and the only armor and weapons I had were iron hills gloves and iron sword. Procedural generation blows.

[@MrMagyar5]

How in the WORLD do you make stairs? I am trying to build a multi level base and I can't find any schematics for stairs.

[@magic777ize]

Cheers about the statues. Didnt know. New player

[@EmporerAaron]

I'm looking at your map at 8:07 and I'm assuming that the story version of the game has the same map. So let me ask you this. Where the hell do I find the statues or whatever that has the steel weapons blueprints that I need. I can't really fight the enemies in the Mines of Moria as my iron sword barely does anything against them.

[@codyebner986]

Campaign map is still procedurally generated as well, my single player and my multiplayer campaign are both different layout

[@EmporerAaron]

@@codyebner986 Yeah, I figured that out not long after posting the comment, and I'm still looking for a few missing statues and such that seem to evade my grasp even though I have moved onto a new area that requires better equipment. Thats what it feels like every new area your equipment needs to be upgraded again and again.

[@DarkRictor]

I'm pisses because I've fixed every statue in the beginning area, the Elvin Glade, and several in the mines, and all I ever get are gloves & helmets! I never got anything for the chest or legs!!!!! I'm already wearing the Erebor gloves with tshirt & pants!

[@Timithos]

That comes later still.

[@Kijinn]

@@Timithos Hm...It is strange. In my game, first armor was gloves, then chest and helmet. I have yet to find the second part of the pants blueprint.

[@Warprincess84]

Blue meter is your armour inventory menu says this food stamina and Armor

[@ottopay3813]

I always cook my food before I use the bedroll and then eat when I wake up. Good then until the next night.

[@mikearge23]

Isn’t the blue meter your armor?

[@Dukiees]

Using the oven you can bring food with you

[@SeemzLegit454]

Is there AI dwarfs to play with? Or you by yourself? Cause none of my friends want to play it.

[@MachineTeen]

What is the number in the top right corner? Ps great info

[@xden]

It's just counting the number of new tips/lore entries/quest updates you haven't checked yet. It's kinda buggy though and doesn't always accurately count. I'll have 8-16 still even after reading everything.

[@Hina_Hanta]

You can just cook 2 portions of a simple meal and eat both to fill up your hunger

[@Keiy_Art]

Do the ores replenish or is it limited?

[@MentorRick]

Don't destroy their banners

[@seangross5057]

How do I get someone to play With Me? I can really use someone to help me out and watch my back And I can watch those.

[@cherub3624]

Do they seriously only let you build in the 4 cardinal directions??? I can't line up walls to a lot of the se pre existing buildings and its dumb.

[@Dragoninja833]

If you make an oven you can bring food with you.

[@yodamasterx1869]

Dude this isn't on console is it? Looks sick

Not yet. It will be.

[@ohnoitisnt666]

It is now 😂

[@marcelopendola9701]

very good man

[@WoodlandDrake]

not a fan of how they handle armor in this game, just figured I would put that out there in case someone had some insight I do not.

[@rahbee6266]

Craft an oven. Let's you make on the go meals

Why is this titan so short

[@АлександрВолков-с9е]

THX!

Don't you think it's abit too much to have build a hearth near all your construction pieces...

No not that one, the pale blueish one underneath your health.

[@johntoney810]

yes you can take meals on road you need build a oven

[@prostheticaim8030]

Drink Ale before rest to get a better buff

[@TinaRamirez-g1d]

Such a great game

[@Lordnexuz]

Bro I went too far into the mines of moria and lost all my shit by a spider 😭

[@seeker_rodan3113]

Man a remake of Return of the King would be nice

[@Fefko13]

Best tip ever: Don’t waste Elven Wood (unless you’re willing to raid multiple worlds over and over)

[@Kijinn]

Wonder how that would be a problem. I never even took down a single elven tree myself, but just collected the remains that the bears leave behind, and still never run out of elven wood.

[@Fefko13]

Wether you cut it down or bear runs through it that tree is gone. If you play solo it wouldn't be a big issue I guess. We played as 6 and we ran out of elven wood before we even discovered Barazinbar.@@Kijinn

[@kellenfk9190]

Dude you bugged me out. I was going back n forth. When twitch had an add I went to KZbin. Then poof gone. Lol

[@Orcrez]

Nice video but your keyboard sucks for KZbin videos.

[@davidtate3240]

Dude your killing me. Lol find pokets of light.....craft a torch.....cant take food with you.... craft an oven and make bit long and lampurous bread bam you can take food with you

[@CleggHoldFast]

For the algorithm

[@coreymckee4844]

Or just play on custom difficulty and adjust the enemy mob sizes and frequency of random attacks etc. Im playing for the story and love how easy the game is. Lol

[@Shifty51991]

I repair some and just get fucking stone and iron......what the hell?

[@caladrius81]

Well, I wouldn't really call that tips.

[@dynamicvoltage9765]

Here are my tips 1. play a better game, like Ark, or Conan Exiles, or Valheim, or Grounded, or watching paint dry It's legitimately one of the worst designed games I've ever seen in my life. Apparently anyone can get the LOTR license now.

[@visualsiren89x]

If I get this game can I have a female dwarf?😂 like , can I customise my own female dwarf that's all I wna know

[@cody1570]

Ight so no secret bridge building tips got it

[@brianadsersen8968]

This game is not on Steam. Is it a consol game

[@RISpaceCase]

It's in the Epic Game Store on PC and it's on sale right now.

[@ohnoitisnt666]

And on consoles now too 😊

[@Dystinction1]

Beards!

[@dumdumcappy]

You made this too soon, too many wrong facts in this video.

[@bravexheart7]

This sucks because you can’t join a game your friends created unless they are online… a very big fail They market it as multiplayer but it’s basically a solo game beware

[@digiross7199]

It's the same as valheim, peer to peer. Unless you are on a dedicated server. I think the devs said that dedicated servers are coming in 2024 if i'm not mistaken

[@MadEra33]

Bro every survival game is done this way, the forest, sons of the forest, subnautica, below zero, green hell, no mans sky etc.

[@Kijinn]

Mate...What are you talking about? Of course you can only join the world when the player who hosted it is online. How else do you think that would even work? The world is on that person's computer. How do expect to access it, unless that player is also starting the game? Seemingly, what you expect is a world running on a dedicated server. That option may not be available yet...That still isn't a reason to call it a solo game. Man...gamer entitlement gets worse.

[@Mugulord]

Obviously all games are just reskinned Minecraft.

[@bonephish12]

Say what you want about Fortnite but that new Lego survival game mode they just released has an excellent solution to this, as bare bones as it is, it released with a way to let your friends play on your world/server while you were away. If your friend is in the world with you then you can give them an "access" key, and from then on they can join at any time, original host not necessary. Only catch is that you only have 7(?) keys. As I said it's bare bones but it's really fun and the building system is a hella lot better than Return to Moria, but that's probably on account of the building pieces being Legos, lol. Even then I'd prefer Valheims (Modded even more preferably) building system to the one we've got. I'd classify it as early access just like return to Moria. They both need alot of work but they have great bones.

[@maraacoma5121]

Really loved how game looks+feels+story n game mechanics!!!! BUT.BUT.BUT a hughe BUT Look below!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just got this game n tried it a little(but i stumble upon orcs that i cant hurt at all in the early stage of game"i should have made a sword,But didnt find any skin or what it was n that is why i found enemies i cant hurt even n start up over n over where they attack me at 1st camp when i die i awaken at same place n gets killed over n over again so its unplayable pretty much due to cant do anything exept die here!! Help would be great but game is just released n will take a while for it to show up on google!! Must i start up a new playthrough from the beginning or what"im i missing something this early in already?".. Thanks 4 video"U made me want to get this game so Thanks 4 this one"!!!

[@nieksmit9726]

Hello, you can make a beginners axe when pressing c. That helps with the killing. You can block to, but it doesn't block as well as a shield. You need iron to make a shield. Hope that helps!

[@Kijinn]

My biggest advice is to not build your base on the ground, as the game tells you to. Build small platforms on walls with which you can climb higher. Then make your base on the roof of a building or simply build your own structure up there. The higher you go, the less likely you are to even get attacked by bats. Sieges will just end after ~90 seconds, since the enemy can't find or reach you.
