getting close to valinor on LOTR

[gabe]

-finished all the modes
-got to there and back
-destroyed the ring
-collected all the gifts from the elves
-was only able to finish one of the multi ball though

Game is set on 3 ball and is the hardest game I have tried to master
so far. Been playing it non stop for 2 weeks now.

Great game Gabe, congrats!
I haven't got that far on mine and I've had mine for years.I'm getting
to think I'm never getting to Valinore.
Doesn't say much for my playing does it....
Bought it new from the 1st run.
Still love it!!

Is someone being an a-hole? Why do random threads like this keep getting marked as "Abusive"?

Wait til your on DTR after you've completed everything for valinor.
Sweaty palms, excited yet anxious. Then you choke on the final ring
shot. Haha its happened to me twice...final shot til valinor. But what
a great game.

I've never got that far in one game. I can do everything separately
now, but can't string it together in 3 balls (or 5+ counting extra
balls)... yeah it's a tough nut to crack. For us mortal men.

I posted quite a long blog about ideas for getting to Valinor and
finishing the Movie Multiballs with running modes. Basically I defer
DTR with Gollum MB and then start both a mode and a movie multiball. You
get back to DTR when you drain down to one ball again so nothing is lost
trying the strategy.

You can't start a mode after a movie multiball starts. I think you can
still add a Gollum MB though. And bash that palatir target when lit, in
case it gives you add-a-ball.

Seems to help me finish the movie multiballs (4th ball in play, maybe)
and you also get 2x scoring when Smeagol 'helps'.
