Does anyone find all cards scanned somewhere ?
I have the full set from Gencon, I will try to take some pics of the other cards later tonight or tomorrow. The difficulty of this quest is off the charts. We got smoked every time we attempted it at Gencon.
As others have said, dealing with the questing difficulty while trying to battle Smaug is insane. You need an army of allies to feed him right from turn one. It is not uncommon for Smaug to make instant attacks against all players during the quest phase of the first turn.

I look on the quest and encounter cards and it look really cool. But i dont understand 2 things
1 Resolve burn damage. What is mean?? I must to put this number f damage to the lake-town or???
2 Smaug had his own deck. So when you revealed him from this deck???

yes….location cards have Burn X on them….smaug and treachery cards will say resolve all burn damage in play
so if you have cards in play that amount to 5 burn damage, 5 damage goes on lake town
smaug has his own deck which you reveal seperate from the encounter deck. you have to state where he will go- staging area or engage you, then you draw him
basically you want to choose engage every turn….all smaugs have 7 ish threat so it gets tough with all the locations to quest

Thank you Kobby and Glaurung.

sure
-during set up, set up the smaug deck which consists of all the smaug enemy cards, shuffle them
-the smaug deck has its own discard pile. effects that interact with the encounter deck/discard pile do not interact with the smaug deck/discard pile
-when smaug is discarded place it in the smaug discard pile. if the smaug deck is empty reshuffle the discard pile to make a new smaug deck
-at the beginning of the quest phase the 1st player must choose either:
1.his play area
or
2.the staging area
as the destination of smaug. then reveal the top card of the smaug deck and put it into play- either in 1 or 2 depending on what you choose.
if you chose 1 then smaug immediatly engages you.
-if another version of smaug was already in play (i.e after round 1) then move all damage from the previous version to the new version of smaug and discard the previous smaug.
BURN X is the burn numbers on the card in play. when told to resolve all burn damage, total the amount of burn damage in play and assign it to lake town.
when doing this each player may exhaust any number of his characters to assign any number of of burn damage to those characters, up to their remainging hit points.
any damage not dealt in this way is assigned to lake town

PS- there is a location that allows you to have two active locations at once- i think its the warf….i dont know how to officially play this as it isnt mentioned anywhere.

Ok we play with Kobby 2 game against this quest. First we terrible lost and second one we won. I like this quest is much better done then SOF but MAO is still the best in my opinion. MAO is going to be more difficult with the number of players Lake-city i think is going more easy instead.
I use Glorifindel(FOS), Beravur and Aragorn and Kobby have Elrond, Bofur and Eowyn deck.Both of us use spirit and Lot of Test of will and Dwarfen tomb cose there a lot of nasty when revealed and shadow effects.
And also Lake-town is more static ques then MAO. In MAO last stage can bring you lot of surprise (cose of Massing in Osgiliatn threachery or Captain effect) here is everything more monotony and if you are reach a certain point the encounter deck cannot do nothing against you(little bit remind me SAF).But still this one really cool quest and quite difficult as well. This quest take a lot time to win. And I really love the idea of Dragon deck! Smaug is flying around the city and you never know where he will going next round and what he will do. Really interesting quest and very, very difficult for solo play i suppose.

Thanks for the info.

If "burning" becomes a decently common mechanic in LOTR LCG then I hope FFG will include burning tokens in a future Deluxe Expansion, like the ones used in Warhammer: Invasion possibly.
Today i play another couple of solo sessions against this quest. Aragorn/Glorifindel/Denethor deck (Valinor might). All games lost.
Really difficult quest solo! Need to start use Elrond otherwise i will always lose.
Wizard is never late...
Good god, I think I'm just going to give up now! The cards look beautiful (as most encounter deck cards do, anyway!) so that's one reason to buy this, of course, but I don't anticipate completing this one, ever!
Makes me wonder what three scenarios will be included in the Hobbit 2, really…

i think is an extreme example as participants had to register as a couple, so it was tailored to be this hard.
id be really surprised if we ever got something as relatively brutal as this…..unless we were storming the dark tower with a feather duster or whatever
