Kill a Troll King

The option to kill a Troll King can be useful for players if they want to get Sunstone a bit earlier in the game. It is also worth noting that Troll Kings are mighty bosses, and it is not guaranteed that players will receive Sunstone that defeating one of them. Nevertheless, these bosses can be found in different places in Moria. Even if players do not get the Sunstone, their struggles will not be pointless, as they will still receive other valuable rewards.

Sunstone Mining

This will require players to progress a little longer in the story until they reach the deeps of Moria. Specifically, they will need to go to the Barazinbar and The Darkest Deeps areas. In these locations, players will need to explore the walls of caves to find various ore veins.
