LEAD travels through Mirkwood, joining the Golden Host’s invasion of the dark forest.

Ah, Mirkwood; vast forest inhabited by elves, orcs, spiders, and crazy adventurers.

One thing that was left out purposefully is the Corruption Removal Techniques that help you defeat bosses. Many people commented that this was extremely important, and I can’t agree more. So have no fear, I haven’t forgotten to include that in this guide.
