Muznakans are one of the first mysterious items players find when they explore the ancient kingdom of Khazad-dum inLOTR: Return to Moria. A Muznakan is essentially an altar that contains several small statues. These statues represent the ancestral Dwarves that once roamed the hallways of Moria.
Each region in Moria typically has its own specific type of Muznakan. As players explore new areas inReturn to Moria, they can find several more Muznakans. Unfortunately, these altars are missing a few carvings and need to be restored before they can be interacted with. This guide can help playersfind the missing Muznakan Carvingsso that they can efficiently restore Muznakans inReturn to Moria.

Where to Find Muznakan Carvings
All worlds inReturn to Moriaare procedurally generated, which means that each player will have a unique experience. As such, the exact locations of the Muznakan Carvings will vary for different players. Muznakan carvings can be foundinside ruined Dwarven houses,inns,old forges, andstructures.
Since the carvings are pretty small, they’re very easy to miss, so players should thoroughly search any new area they enter if they hope to find one. Muznakan Carvings can appear anywhere in the room – hidden behind broken furniture or statues or under a pile of rubble. Sometimes, thesecarvings can be found inside Orkish chests, which are located inOrc camps. Players can open these chests to find not only the carvings but also valuable loot such asBlack DiamondsandMetal Ingots.
By interacting with the Muznakan itself, players can see how many more missing Muznakan Carvings they need to find.
Unfortunately, Muznakan Carvings are a finiteresource inReturn to Moria, which means thatthey will not regenerate in rooms the player has already explored. However, players can simply create a new in-game world and use their character to explore it thoroughly. This can enable them to find the missing carvings, which players can take back to their main world for use.
How to Use Muznakan Carvings
Once players have collected all the Muznakan Carvings for an area, they canplace them at the corresponding Muznakan altar. By inserting all the missing statues into the altar, players can open it up.
Muznakans essentially act like regular chests but contain valuable treasures, including gold coins, ingots, gemstones,and plenty of crafting recipes, namely “Craft Plans.” These crafting recipes can help players craft new weapons, tools, and armor for their Dwarf.
