The mines of Moria are a very memorable location for any Lord of the Rings fan. This is where the first battle between Gandalf and the Balrog took place. This location has been of particular interest to every LotR fan since the books came out. There is finally a game, named LotR Return to Moria, that lets players experience this world in detail. This survival game sees players play as dwarfs and enter the mines deep beneath the mountains to reclaim them for all of Dwarvenkind. In the game, you will need weapons to do this, of course, and what better than the Iron War Axe? So, if you are wondering how to get and craft the Iron War Axe in LotR Return to Moria, here’s everything you need to know.
Since this is a survival game, you can expect the basics of a survival game from it. Crafting, cooking, staying warm and fed, breaking items for loot, and unlocking craftables are all part and parcel of being a modern-day Dwarf. If you are looking for something to satisfy your thirst for blood and glory and also want something that you can use to break open wooden crates, you need not look further than the Iron War Axe. However, before you can get your hands on it, you will have to find some resources. More details on the same are shared below.
LoTR Return to Moria Iron War Axe: How to get, unlock, & craft?
The Iron War Axe is an axe-type weapon in Return to Moria. It can be used as both a combat melee weapon and a bludgeon to break open boxes, crates, and anything else that’s breakable. This is very important since some of your best loot or resources can come from these crates. Having this axe means you not only have a form of defense but also something you can use to get resources and materials you can craft with. These are both very important aspects of survival games.
How to get this axe?
Getting this axe is a slightly harder process. You can find the recipe for this axe once you repair two broken stone statues. These are the statues of the dwarves in and around the region of Moria. They are almost always broken and need to be fixed. You can do this simple task if you have an iron hammer (2x Iron Ingots and 4x Wood Scraps) and 10 stones (per statue) in your inventory. Once you have the required number of stones and an iron hammer, go ahead and explore the region for these statues.
Since the game is procedurally generated, it is not possible to pinpoint the location of these statues. It is, however, possible to identify the region they are found in. Since they are important to the game and can be rebuilt, they are usually around the base. You simply have to explore the area near your base for a little while, and you will be able to find them there. Repair two separate statues, and you will have the recipe for the Iron War Axe.
How to craft it?
Once you receive the recipe, crafting the iron war axe is not so difficult. To craft it, you will need resources and the crafting forge. The resources required are as follows:
- 2x Iron Ingots
- 4x Wooden Scraps
- 2x Hide Scraps
Iron ingots can be smelted from six pieces of iron ore in a furnace. Wooden scraps can be obtained from the crates or other wooden objects around. To get hide scraps, you will have to fight various creatures with a weapon. These creatures have a chance of dropping hide scraps when defeated. Once you have these resources, you will be able to craft this axe and use it.
