In Middle-earth: Shadow of War, collectibles mean something. They tell a story and provide the player with lore that might be otherwise missing. In the case of Ithildin Door Poems, they also provide the player with Legendary Bright Lord’s gear set. To get this set of Legendary gear, players must first track down six Ithildin in each region, and then use the clues that they gather to complete the Ithildin Door Poem, placing words in the correct place for the right solution. Doing so will unlock the door and allow the player to collect their prize.


How to Find Ithildin

When players finally get settled in Middle-earth: Shadow of War, one of their first missions will be to purify a Haedir. This not only allows you to fast travel in Shadow of War, but it is also how you locate the various collectibles on the map. Locate each Haedir in each region, and set a waypoint for its location. Climb the Haedir and use it to spot each of the six Ithildin in the region. These are required before you can attempt to provide a solution for the Ithildin Door Poem.

Once you've spotted the Ithildin, you should be able to place a marker on each one, making the act of finding them quite simple. Head to the Ithildin you have selected, then enter the Wraith world to spot it in-game. Once you collect it, head to the next. Continue this process until you’ve collected all six Ithildin in that region.

How to find the Barrows

Once you have all six Ithildin for the region you’re in, look for the Barrows to be marked on your map. You must locate the Barrows the same way you do Ithildin; through the Haedir mini-game. You can’t fast travel there, but you can usually fast travel somewhere close to the Barrows, then walk the rest of the way. As you enter the Barrows, activate your Wraith sight so that you can access the Ithildin Door Poem and provide the correct solution.
