Inside the foundation there are several areas where the orcs prepare for war. It is basically an armory where swords can be smelted and sharpened and where shields and helmets are stored.

Additionally, there is lava flowing on both sides of the foundation, and in one area it is used as a way to slowly imprison and kill prisoners, as indicated by the skeleton hanging in a cage above a pool of lava. On the other side, you can have some orcs waiting to make swords from a small pit of lava that comes out of the rocks.

Within this foundation is also the first of some Easter eggs hidden in the Barad-Dûr set. There is a small opening on the side of the rock formation where a small fish is hidden, a surprise that Gollum would no doubt appreciate. (How sweet!) Right above, there is also a small group of LEGO pieces that can be extracted from the rocks, and inside there is a small LEGO spider, representing the monstrous Shelob, which attacks Frodo and envelops him in a spider web. before being blocked by Sam.
On the second floor of the large tower base, there is a mess hall where orcs can drink and dine. In the center of the room, there is a table with stools rotating around it. And on the table there are LEGO wands, bones and even a nice sausage to accompany several glasses. Also, on this side of the wall, there is another Easter egg hidden in the rocks. When you pull another protruding piece of the stone, there is a hidden page showing some of the other Rings of Power of Middle-earth.

Behind the table, there is a food preparation area with some vegetables and herbs, a meat cleaver, and a much larger bone. To the left of the table, you will notice a barrel where you can get some sort of green drink, with part of it leaking onto the floor. On the right side, there is a large cauldron sitting on lava, and inside it are LEGO carrots, celery, bones, and if you get an extra sausage like I did, you can throw that in too. Orcs aren’t picky; they just want some meat.
By the way, there’s a big wink on the back of the wall, where you’ll see the word “MENU” scrawled in chalk over a piece of meat on a bone. What does that mean? Well, Looks like meat is back on the menu, guys!
