The "Lord of the Rings" theme has always been a record-breaker in the world of Heroes 3; you can find at least 25 different maps and authors dedicated to it. But usually, it was limited to map design and hero names, so I didn't take these maps seriously. However, the map's high rating caught my attention.

Pros
1. Difficulty.
The difficulty is quite moderate; you don't have to spend too much time figuring out the author's tricks, but there are still plenty of interesting moments. I assume that this map is designed for the widest possible audience due to its difficulty level.

2. Well-thought-out.
Interesting quests, all elements (artifacts, heroes) are presented logically, and there is absolutely no time to get bored. Overall, it's safe to say that this is a map of the highest quality.

3. Help.
The author provides help to the player in an interesting way if they get stuck.
In a separate area of the map, there are all the gate guards and seers, with text hints. If you have a problem, open the gate guard you visited recently.

4. Design.
Objects have been replaced (and this is without WOG), and everything is recognizable.

Cons.
The only drawback of the map is the help provided to the player in the final stage.
Before the final battle, we are given a Berserker, and this is with an Expert-level Fire skill. After that, the battle becomes extremely easy.

Also, the Ring of Life seems to disappear somewhere; it looks like the AI sells artifacts. But since the author gives us the Grail at the end, we place it in Conflux and teleport the gate guard, who requires this ring.

Rating: 9 / 10
It would have been an even better map if not for the ending.
