A Long Awaited Party
Balin and his party of Dwarves have broken through the Ghol defenses and have found their place of worship. Fight your way to the Ghol idol and blow it up.
I have never finished this level in a cooperative play because you do not get a Balin. Don't ask me why. In the solo game, if Balin enters the cave to the secret level then he will be in A Long Awaited Party. For some reason this is not so when playing cooperatively.
Anyhow, as soon as your troops come out of the cave, line up on the ridge facing North. A bunch of Ghols will attack from this direction. There is also another bunch of Ghols that run a patrol around the hill in front of you. After you kill the initial Ghol attack, wait for the patrol to go by then set up on the East side of that little bump hill and wait for them to come around again. You do not have to clear the caves on this level. Skip the West one completely, do not even go near it. If you get too close to the cave guards they sound an alarm and the Ghols inside the cave come pouring out. However, if you kill him before he can sound the alarm, the Ghols will stay in the cave.
In the North East, the area narrows into a path and it is guarded by a bunch of Ghols with puss. Be very careful here and take your time. Ghols can throw farther than a Dwarf so use Balin. If you go too far into the narrowing they will attack, but once you go back out they will retreat to their original possition. Use Balins air strike. Sucker them back and forth and kill them one by one.

Follow the path and it will lead you to another bunch of pussed Ghols and their pal Soulless. Same tactic here. Back and forth them, or drop all your satchels before you get there and kill them with all your Dwarves. You are going to need your satchels though to don't lose them. Once you kill these guys you'll get reinforcements and you'll be facing the ramp down to the worshiping Ghols. Do not got down there. A patrol of Soulless will come by. Watch how and where they go down the ramp and satchel it once they've passed. A Ghol will come in and harrass you. Kill him, then wait for the Soulless to pass over you satchels and blow them up. You're just about done now. Do not go down the ramp but instead follow the grassy path and remember to fill up your guys with satchels. You will come across a couple more Ghols and Soulless, one at a time. Kill them also and make your way around to the end of the path where it leads down to the idol. You can approach the idol from the backside without triggering all those Ghols. Satchel the idol under it's thin part, careful not to piss off the praying Ghols. Toss in a bottle and blow the idol to wherever bad Ghols go.

Hints:

  • Use up Balins air strikes. They don't work on the idol in Legendary.
  • Be very patient with the pussed Ghols. They are more easily dealt with by killing them slow instead of all at once.
  • Be careful not to blow your Soulless trap when killing that harrassing Ghol.
  • Remember you are carrying satchels. One bad bottle throw or a good puss strike will blow up all your Dwarves.
  • If you time it right you can kill all or most of the puss Ghols by making them run into a Balin Air Strike.
  • The idol is not just a big rock. Look at it again. It is in the shape of and looks like a big Ghol's head.
    Here's the film.
