The Explosive Mine is a unique and deadly siege weapon that is used by the Isengard faction. It is a bomb that must be set off manually, e.g. by a Berserker's torch, after being placed anywhere on the ground. Any fire consisting weapon can trigger the mine, like fire arrows or Wildmen equipped with torches and even spells like Saruman's fireball ability.
Lore[]
Saruman invented this weapon and used it to destroy the Deeping Wall of Helm's Deep, at the Battle of the Hornburg.
