Conflict at the Carrock Adventure Pack - Tips & Strategies

This might seem obvious but it is very important in this quest. If you finish part 1 with a threat of 34+ you’ll be facing 4 trolls and a threat rise of 12 due to Louis ability.

If you can keep your threat beneath 34 Loius should be the last Troll you engage due to his threat raising ability.

One of heaviest factors in making this adventure so difficult when playing solo is the fact that no matter how many, or few, players there are, there will always be four of those nasty, unique, trolls. As a way to scale this quest (if you’re finding it as difficult as I do) is to use fewer Trolls.

For the easiest step in difficulty, use only one troll per player, randomly picked and kept face down until he appears in the staging area.
For the next step in difficulty, use one troll per player plus one additional troll; face up being slightly easier or placed face down for slightly more difficult.

And remember, when playing “two-handed” solo (i.e. 2 decks and 2 sets of three heroes as if two players were playing) still counts as playing with two players.

Then everything’s alright. This quest has only two stages which need to be completed. Unfortunately, the publisher (Fantasy Flight Games) left out the phrase the lets you know you’ve defeated the quest once the second stage has been completed. It may be obvious to some but it also never hurts to hear something confirmed.

At first glance, Bilbo and Frodo seem to be weak, and with some adventures they may be, but with this adventure the extra cards and strong life, respectively, provide much help during the adventure. Give the hobbits a chance…
