To finish these poems and open each Ithildin door, Talion first has to locate each missing word for the poem — but that part’s easy, as the locations are clearly marked on the map.

The hard part is figuring out how to unscramble the poem and place each salvaged word in the correct location to unlock the door, and that’s what we cover in detail below.
