The Mechanics
The new Battle for Helm’s Deep panel
can be accessed from the Start Menu, or
by hitting ‘Shift-B’.
This panel contains 3 tabs, ‘Road to Battle’, ‘Promotions’, and ‘Battle History.’
Detailed descriptions of each tab can be
found at:
Road to Battle
Promotions
Battle History
The ‘Road to Battle’ is a map of Helm’s
Deep, with numbers indicating the steps
and phases of the Battle of Helm’s Deep.
Once you’ve selected the battle you wish
to partake, the
right panel will
update with the
name of the instance, the group
sizes available, a
description of the
encounter, and a
visual display of
the best medal
you have earned
on each of the
quests and objectives that can be
found within.
Selecting Launch
will send you into
the space immediately, while Queue will
enter you into the Instance Finder queue
to find a group to play with. All Epic
Battles solo spaces allow for two players
to play them together, without an increase in the difficulty of the space. We
encourage you to find a friend and play
together.

You can also find the Battle for Helm’s
Deep instances within the panels of the
