LOTRO | Caves Tier 2 Deep Dive — Class Comp, Cooldowns & RNG Management

Struggling with Caves Tier 2 in LOTRO? This complete 3-man instance guide breaks down every boss mechanic, interrupt priority, treasure room strategy, and optimal group composition so you can clear consistently — even with the heavy RNG this instance is known for. In this guide we cover: • Trash mechanics and priority interrupts • Boss 1 dune waves, whirlwinds, and Whirling Dervish strategy • Boss 2 kill order, cleansing requirements, and mandatory interrupts • Boss 3 treasure room phases, Curse of Greed scaling, and Shower of Jewels survival tips • Recommended class compositions (ranged vs melee) • Cooldown timing and DPS optimization Caves Tier 2 is heavily burst-dependent, melee-unfriendly, and extremely sensitive to treasure room execution — especially on Boss 3. If you’re wiping to dunes, Pestilent Spill, or Curse of Greed stacks, this breakdown will help you clean up your runs. Whether you're preparing for higher tiers or just want smoother 3-man clears, this guide walks you through everything step by step. 📌 Written version of the guide available in our Discord   / discord   💬 Drop your comp in the comments — happy to help troubleshoot.
