Sauron took Amon Lanc from the Elves at the beginning of the Third Age. Now the Elves lay siege to reclaim the fortress and cleanse the forest.

When Revealed: Remove all tokens from the Lieutenant enemy at this stage and set it aside, out of play. Add the set aside Bane of Amon Lanc to the staging area, unless it is in a victory display. If Dol Guldur's city strength is 5 or lower (10 or lower if playing epic multiplayer mode), Bane of Amon Lanc makes an immediate attack against each player in turn order.

Bane of Amon Lanc gets -1 engagement cost for each progress token on this stage.

Forced: At the end of the round, remove 5 progress from this stage or increase Dol Guldur's city strength by 3. The first player may remove an additional 5 progress to reduce Dol Guldur's city strength by 3.
