if i am not mistaken: there is no way to carry over a mode but the multi balls are always carried over.

The seven modes do not carry over. You either complete them before they time out or you have to start from the beginning. The multiballs will start from where you left off as long as you have not scored one of the super jackpots. If you score one of the super jackpots then it restarts the next time you start that multiball.

Correct answer! The Multiballs will keep your progression, so it is possible (and hilarious) that you can get the Super Jackpottt (ho ho ho) on the first shot of restarting TT. Same with Fellowship, if you restart it, you will have the same number of inserts representing who crossed the bridge. As for ROTK Multiball, I am not 100% sure if that restarts the wave you are on, or if it is to the exact shot.

Valinor prerequisites (in no order):

Play all 6 modes (completion not required-but certainly helpful to earn gifts-see below)
Play TABA (completion not required)
Earn the SJP for all 3 mbs (need not be done first time through)
Earn 7 gifts (note: it's not 6)
DTR after the previous prerequisites are met. (This is order dependent)

This is where the journey can get long. If you DTR along the way w/o everything else complete, you have to finish whatever it is you are missing, start all 3mbs again (SJP not required if already earned), and then DTR again. So it is possible to have multiple DTR completions before reaching Valinor.

Enjoy!

And it always seems to happen that when you do need to finally destroy the ring to get valinor is the one time you fail! Even despite destroying it previously lol. Which is why it's one of the most toughest wizard modes to achieve.

Sure is. It's amazing code and playability. I finally gave up (in?).

Sold LOTR last week.
