Ithildin Doors - Middle-earth: Shadow of War Guide - IGN (2024)

Each region houses an Ithildin Door. Find all six pieces of the poem to unlock the door and get the treasure inside. Each of the five Barrows in the game hide pieces of the Legendary Bright Lord Set. However to get the full set of seven items, you'll have to earn Bronze Trophies on all of the Shadows of the Past Missions to get the Bright Lord's Rune, and earn Gold Trophies on all of the missions to get the Bright Lord's Hammer.

How to Find Ithildin Doors

After gathering all the poem parts, the final part of the puzzle is finding the actual door. Chances are you’ve already found it. When searching for markers with the Haedir tower, you’ll make a Barrow. The Barrows house Ithildin Doors. Visit a Barrow once you’ve collected the poem pieces to unlock the door and gain a new Fast Travel Point.

Collect the six poem pieces after marking their locations on your map with the Haedir tower. You'll find the actual door location after completing the Shadows of the Past quest.

Insert these words to complete the poem:

Shadows > Drums > Cadence > Land > Wrath > Doom

In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie
We bear our banners aloft, boots like Drums
Our Cadence quick, our countenance dire.
For who in this dark, dream-haunted Land dares
Resist the righteous flame of Wrath
And Doom themselves to despair and death?

Reward: Bright Lord's Armor

Collect the six poem pieces after marking their locations on your map with the Haedir tower. The Barrow is in the southern part of the map. Sneak your way through the camp that's just outside it, or ride some sort of beast through the mess of enemies.

Insert these words to complete the poem:

Rises > Fires > Night > Beacons > Shines > Marching

When the sun Rises, the shadows must retreat
Fleeing in fear from the Fires of dawn.
The Night never knew that its end was fleet
As a Bright Lord bears Beacons of flame.
The sun rises, yes -- but from the West it Shines
Marching e'er Eastward, e'er eternal, 'ere bright.

Reward: Bright Lord's Cloak

Collect the six poem pieces after marking their locations on your map with the Haedir tower. The Barrow housing the Ithildin Door is deep within the main mountain, and you'll pass a Gondorian Artifact and Shelob Memory along the way if you haven't already collected them. Journey through the Barrow after finding all six poem pieces in the area.

Insert these words to complete the poem:

Iron > Serpents > Avail > Woe > Hordes > Claim

Let our foes fortify with Iron and stone
Let them summon scabrous Serpents, feral beasts
It will Avail them nought. Across the Ages none
Have an army that wield such weapons, such Woe
Such doom against the dark-benighted Hordes who dare
Claim dominion over a Mordor soon bright.

Reward: Bright Lord's Bow

Collect the six poem pieces after marking their locations on your map with the Haedir tower. The Barrow housing the Ithildin Door is far off on the left side of the map on the edge of the ice lake, past a cave entrance guarded by a Graug.

Insert these words to complete the poem:

Slumbers > Nest > Poisoned > Trapped > Comes > Base

Fair Mordor Slumbers, entangled in the night
A vipers' Nest of sorrow and strife
Poisoned by pernicious betrayal and blight
Trapped in the grasp of gelid corpse-hands
Yet behold! The Bright Lord Comes as a wildfire
Burning only what is Base, that all else may thrive.

Reward: Bright Lord's Dagger

Collect the six poem pieces after marking their locations on your map with the Haedir tower. The Barrow housing the Ithildin Door is in the top Northern caves that split the Northeastern Tower from the one in the Northwest.

Insert these words to complete the poem:

Lurk > Bulwark > Impervious > Powers > Vicious > Fail

They stalk and Lurk, then lash out so furious
Yet our Bulwark is proof against their rage
Our hard-ringed, hand-forged armor Impervious
To predations from the Powers of darkness
No matter how Vicious or how vile
To assail the Bright Lord is to falter and Fail.

Reward: Bright Lord's Sword
