Three were given to the Elves- immortal, wisest, and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords- great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. Nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else, desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race. But they were all decieved. For another ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged, in secret, a master ring to control all others. And into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice ad his will to dominate all life. ============================================================================== + + + + + GAME BASIC + + + + + [GMBC] ============================================================================== ******CONTROLS****** Move................................D-Pad or Left Analog Stick Speed Attack....................X Button or Right Analog Stick Fierce Attack...................Triangle or Right Analog Stick Knock Back...............................O Button or R3 Button Parry......................................Square or R1 Button Killing Move.........................................R2 Button Equip Ranged Weapon...........................L1 Button (Hold) Fire Ranged Weapon...X or Right Analog Stick (While Equipped) Jump Back............................................R2 Button Devestating Attack....................Hold and Release Tiangle To see combo moves, see the UPGRADES AND COMBOS section _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ******GAME SCREEN****** Starting from the top left hand corner and working clockwise- <<>> This is your life.

There are four different score ratings- Fair, Good, Excellent and Perfect. The higher the skill meter the batter your score. To fill the meter use combos to kill the enemy and avoid enemy hits. If you manage to fill the meter entirely, for a brief period of time you will get the score Perfect. You will know when this happens, as your sword/bow/axe, will shine silver, as will the Skill Meter. At this time, you will also recieve additonal points and the experience earned for each kill is doubled. At the end of each mission, there will be a Results Screen. It will give you the number of kills achieved on this mission, and the ratings and experience points for each one. You will also see if you have gone up a level or not, total mission experience gained, Mission Rating and you have the choice to replay the mission, or to continue. ============================================================================== + + + + + THE WALKTHROUGH + + + + + [TWKH] ============================================================================== As you start the game you are show a movie clip from the Fellowship. It shows Galadreil explaining the origin of the rings of power and the One ring. She goes on to tell how the Last Alliance fought for the freedom of Middle Earth. At this point the game begins... ============================================================================== + + + + + PROLOGUE + + + + + [PRLG] ============================================================================== You are in the middle of battle and your character is Isildur. You are a great warrior and king. You may see other free people on your side, but you will notibly see Elrond.This level lets you get to grips with the basics of the game. Follow the instructions given to you on screen and you should pass through easily. nyway to business, so do as the game instructs you at first and defend (press square repeatedly) to parry all attacks. You will then be instructed to use your SPEED ATTACK against the enemy (press X to attack). Once you have felled a few a scene will show the advance of orcs bearing shields. To destroy their shields, you must use your FIERCE ATTACK (triangle). This will cleave their shields to pieces, leaving you free to attack them as you will (personally I usually just use the FIERCE ATTACK). Suprisingly, you can use all of Isildurs available combos already, so if you feel the need to use them, check the Upgrades And Attacks section of the guide. Once you have dealt with a number of these, Oroduin (Mount Doom) will erupt and the battle field will be showered with falling rocks. Then you are back in the thick of things. Once you have handled a few more orcs, Sauron will appear in computer graphics form and begin to attack ( this is part of a clip) and the film will fade in and run it's course and you will cut to Aragorn on his way to Helms Deep. ============================================================================== + + + + + WEATHERTOP + + + + + [WETP] ============================================================================== Now just before you start this level, you will see another film extract in which the Ringwraiths are looking for Frodo. You will then cut to the level at Amon Sul where the Ringwraiths are attacking Frodo and it is your job to defend him. You will notice Frodos health bar in the top right hand corner. Once this is depleated you have failed the mission. You must keep Frodo safe. To do this, you start with fire in your hand, so attack the first wraith using your FIERCE ATTACK and this will set it on fire and it will be frenzied. Repeat this with the second, but, be warned, do not attack rashly, as the Wraiths can cause you serious damage so don't forget to defend (square). If you keep attacking them, Frodo should be kept safe by scurrying about like a wounded rat. Should your fire be quenched, simply go the the campfire in the centre of the court and use your FIERCE ATTACK or SPEED ATTACK to light it back up again. Note that attacking the Wraiths without fire has no effect. Once you have tackled the first two and they have fled, Frodo will put on the Ring and become invisible, you can only see his outline. Another Wraith will appear and you must attack this one in the same fashion as the others. Once you have vanquished this one, two more will appear and one of them will stab Frodo. His health will slowly decline after this, so you must defeat the final two swiftly. When you have done this, you will driift back into the film and to Rivendell. It shows how Frodo offers to take the Ring to Mordor. ============================================================================== [I] + + + + + GATES OF MORIA + + + + + [GOMR] ============================================================================== As you start this level Saruman will ask which route you will take if the mountain Cahadhras defeats you. Gimli the dwarf suggests Moria and this is where the level begins. You and Gimli will go forward and clear the path. Now follow the brown path and you will meet three or four orcs heading down the mountain side towards you. At this point (if you have just started the game) you will only have one combo at most. Use this is possible and I would suggest using ISILDURS SWIFT TERROR as your first combo. Otherwise I feel the best way to deal with all enemies is the FIERCE ATTACK. Anyway, move on a little way along the mountain path and a landslide will reveal some orcs to you. Dispatch these and carry on along the path. Another landslide will reveal more enemies or the same sort. Kill these and move on. After a short while a scene will shown uyou saving Gimli's life with a well placed arrow. Now, there will be about 3 infantry orc to deal with and 2 archers. Deal with the infantry first, as quick as possible, hen deal with the archers with either your own arrows, or your sword. Now move on over a short stone bridge and another scene will show Aragorn fall from the cliff! But don't worry this is a small glitch in the game and does not effect it in any way. Also in this scene you are ambushed by archers. Now the scene ends and you have to deal with a few infantry orcs whilst been shot at by the archers. Once you have killed these, take out the enemy archers with your own bow. To do this you must move and shoot, then move and shoot as to avoid their arrows. You could deflect the arrows (square), but then you would not be able to shoot them as easily. Once all the enemies are slain, move along the path, picking up any dropped potions or arrows. To the right of the path, there is a chest. Smash it with your FIERCE ATTACK to recieve arrows. Now, if you move a little way into the gorge, yet another landslide will reveal yet more orcs. Once you have dealt with these, move up the path to be greeted by a small band of fighting orcs ad a couple of archers. Take out the archers with your arrows before the orcs reach you, then use either a combo or your FIERCE ATTACK to slay the band of orcs. As the path slowly cliimbs, you will be met by more orcs- dispose of them. Eventually you will come to some archers placed on rocks, out of reach. Use your bow to kill them and don't forget- shoot and move, shoot and move. After these, you will come to a small bog. Be aware, there are orcs hiding in the water, so be prepared to parry their attacks (square). They will attack in pairs, and eventually, you will reach a point where there are a few archers across the left hand bank. Get out of the water as quickly as possible and shoot them with your arrows. At the point where the left bank begins (nearest to you) there is a chest containing health. Now, deal with all the archers and the hiding orcs, all along the left bank. Now move on and another left bank will appear. Shoot the archers with your own bow and slay all of the chargig orcs. A combo would be effective here, as they work well against groups of orcs. Whilst shooting the archers don't forget- shoot and move, shoot and move. Now where the archeres were positoned, there is another chest, and in it is health. Now move to right of the screen and go through the gap in the stones. Here you will meet your first boss... ============================================================================== + + + + + BOSS 1: THE WATCHER IN THE WATER + + + + + [TWIW] ============================================================================== Right at the beginning, Gimli will cleverly get knocked out, leaving you to fend for yourself. Now you will notice this the Watcher is basically a giant squid. In the top right hand corner is a bar signalling the Watchers health. To defeat it, head into the water and press parry (square) repeatedly. This will block all attacks from it's swinging tenticles. When you get a oppotunity, hack off one of the tenticles with your FIERCE ATTACK or SPEED ATTACK. When you have done this, quicly get out of the water (out of reach) and fire an arrow at the creature while it is out of the water. Once you have done this head back to the water and do the same. After you have hit it with 5 arrows, it will retreat and the whole company will reach Durin's Gate. Gandalf will speak the password and you will enter Moria... ============================================================================== + + + + + BALINS TOMB + + + + + [BNTB] ============================================================================== At the beginning of this level, whilst in Balin's tomb, you are attacked by orcs and this is where the level begins. Basically, all you need to do is slay as many orcs in the tomb as possible. To do this, your FIERCE ATTACK may be of use, but hopefully you have got some useful combos by now. Also, it may be useful to have the RISING ATTACK, for if you get knocked down, use it as a powerful attack against the enemy. You will see that more and more orcs will enter through the door. You must just carry on the fight to keep their numbers down. You will alos note, that you are not fighting alone, and the other members of the Fellowship are also in combat. If your health should deline, search aroud o the ground, and you may find the small red potion or the green orc draught. This shall increase your life and you can carry on the fight. After a while, a cave-troll shall appear and wreak havoc on the battle field. It's health bar shall appear in the top right had corner.There are two main ways of halting it. If you have the upgrade RANGER FURY you can handle it better. You must first lure it into making it swing for you with it's club. Do this by going close to it and the hold triangle and unleashing your attack. If you do not have this upgrade, then you must do the same, but use your FIERCE ATTACK. But be wary, as if you get hit by it's club, it can cause heavy damage. Note that you should ignore all orcs at this point and just attack the troll. ============================================================================== + + + + + BOSS 2: CAVE TROLL + + + + + [CVTL] ============================================================================== When you have taken roughly half of the trolls health, it will break it's club against a pillar and will now bear a chain. You will automatically jump onto the higher platform to try and escape it. The troll will swing it's chain at you and if it hits, will knock you to the ground. To defeat it, position yourself at the back of the platform, so you can still see the troll, but are protected by the pillar. Now, quickly fire as many arrows into it as possible, before the pillar crumbles (after about 5 hits of the chain). One one of the pillars is broken, head to the next and the next. In between this occasionally, a rogue orc will appear and when slain, may drop arrows or health. Hopefully, you should have killed the troll before all the pillars are destroyed. If this is ot so, you need to deploy the shoot and move, shoot and move tactic. Note that if you upgrade your bow, the arrows will be more effective. When you have depleated the health bar of the troll, it will fall to the ground and die and the level will be over. ============================================================================== + + + + + AMON HEN + + + + + [AMHC] ============================================================================== At the start of this level, Aragorn tells of the fall of Gandalf into shadow, whilst Galadreil gives counsel. Then Aragorn rallies the company and tells Frodo to run and they will protect him. Now, as the level begins, in the top right hand corner are two bars. One indicating the number of Uruk-Hai left to kill, the other the time before Frodo is caught. You must kill all the Uruk-Hai before Frodo's bar is depleated. Now you are in a small opening and fighting Uruk-Hai are charging at you. There are roughly 20 of them to begin with. Right at the start of battle, the horn of Boromir can be heard in the background. Anyway, deal with the Uruk-Hai the same as orcs, either with your FIERCE ATTACK or with combos, which you must have accumilated by now. If you are in need of health, the Uruk-Hai will drop some when murdered. Once you have taken out these foes, pursuit more into the forest and kill the archer on your left hand side. The total enemies left should be around 56. Now carry on along the path and Lurtz (I think he is meant to be Ugluk from the book) will order his minions to 'Find the halfling'. Carry on along the path and a small band of Uruk-Hai will ambush you. Take these out and you will be confronted by 3 archers. One close to you, one under the bridge ahead and oe o top of the bridge. Kill the closest with your sword and use the 'Shoot and Move' tactic to take out the other two. Take health and arrows which they drop if you need. Move off and pass under the bridge and another small band will be waiting for you. Kill the original ones and more will join them. Slay these also and the total remaining should be in the region of 42. Move on along the path and 3 archers will greet you. Position yourself so you are protected by the short wall in front of you, but can shoot the foes. If you cannot do this use Shoot and Move. Once these are dead, move past them and at the bottom of a small hollow you will be attacked by more Uruk-Hai. Once you have killed these, you will see an archer just to the right, perched upon a rock. Kill him with your arrows and move on. Your total left should be around 28. Further up the path, you will have fire thrown at you to block your path and 3 arachers will ambush you. Use the protection of the short wall and the Shoot and Move tactic to kill them. Note that they will also throw exploding fire balls at you. Once you have killed them, the fires will sunside leaving you to track the Uruk-Hai pursuing Frodo. At the bottom of a small hill, you will descend down some stairs and be on a small yard. Here, more Uruk-Hai will appear and you should kill them- obviously. There will also be an archer on this yard, so kill him also. When you have done, descend down some more stairs and meet more foes. As well as many more Uruk-Hai here, there will be archers in unreachable places, so use your bow to defeat them. Whe you have killed all, your remaining total should be around 9. Go down the stairs to the left and you will me Legolas and Gimli, who are deeply in combat. Once you have defeated all the Uruk-Hai, head down the path onto the bridge. Immediately Uruk-Hai will approach the bridge from both sides. Once you have took your total down to zero, get off of the bridge and head left. I know that there are foes left, but you don't NEED to kill them. Uruk-Hai will chase Frodo, but Legolas will kill them. Follow the path to the left and you will come to... ============================================================================== + + + + + BOSS 3: LURTZ + + + + + [BSLZ] ============================================================================== Lurtz is a particularly strong and vicious Uruk-Hai and you will see him murdering Boromir. You will avenge his death. A bar signalling Lurtz life appears in the top right hand corner. To begin with you must fight bow to bow. Use the Shoot and Move tactic to good effect. He shall soon get bored with that and he will pick up his sword. He is immensely strong, so he is hard to fight one on one. To defeat him get behind one of the statues in the opening and defend (square). He should attack, but his sword will get stuck in the statue. Use the RANGER FURY attack to seriously halm him. Repeat this with all of the statues and he should die. If you still have not got the attack RANGER FURY, you must use FIERCE ATTACK. Which is not as effective and you must be swift. If you need health, there is a small potion in the top right of the opening. Once he is defeated, a scene will show Aragorn pay his respects to the dead Boromir. ============================================================================== + + + + + FANGORN FOREST + + + + + [FGFT] ============================================================================== Aragorn speaks of the 3 companions chase of the orcs which hold Merry and Pippin. The level starts in the forest , you must follow the marked path. A log will block your path so you must smash it with your FIRECE ATTACK. Note that if you now look to the left of the path, you will be able to see one of the tree-like ents. At this point you will see an orc scramble through the treetops, but don' t attack it. Instead keep following the trail and you will come to a seemingly dead end. As you draw closer, orcs will burst through the log and others will drop down from the trees. By now you should be quite adept at slaying orcs, so dispatch these. I find that ISILDURS DEATH CHARGE is a effectiive way of combating groups of enemies. Once you have killed them, head down the inside of the hollow, but be vigilant. At the end of the hollow, an axe-wielding orc will drop from the roof. He is strong and seemingly formidable. At first, you must defend (square) or face severe damage. To defeat it there are two main methods. You must knock it to the floor using the CHARGE ATTACK or RUSH ATTACK, depending on which upgrade you have. Then, press R2 and finish the creature off. The other way is, if you are knocked to the ground, use the RISING ATTACK, to bowl the enemy over, then again finish him off with your killing move. If you are in need of life, the foe will drop some health. Now move on and smash the log in front of you, and a little way down, orcs will be thrown against the hollow behind you. Now, roud the corner and you will come face to face with a cave-troll. To defeat it, use the same method as before, lure it into attacking you (go close to it) then move away whilst it swings its club. Then, quickly move in and use your DEVESTATING ATTACK depending on which upgrade you have (Rememeber, to use it, hold triangle and release when the sword is glowing.. Repeat this a few times and the troll will fall. Note that this troll will thrown logs at you and cause damage if you are idle. If you need health, the troll will leave some behind once it is dead. You may also want to not that arrows have no effect against it, they simply bounce off. Now move off up the pass and smash the barrier in your way. A scene will show some orcs engaging in a bit of sport. Before you go an crash their little party, go to your left and you will notice a chest. Inside the chest is a weight which increases your experience points. Now you may attack the hoard, but be warned, they are bearing shields and are no walk over. But just kill them in the usual manner. Pay no heeed to the pit, with the monster or whatever in it, as it is impossible to fall down. Now head to the left of the pit, but before you go through the passage, look to your right and you will see another chest, containing health.Now tread the path to your left, but as soon as you are in the water start the parry (square). There are 2 archers and a foot soldier, waiting to ambush you. Kill them all and take the health which they drop if you require. Now move norhtward up the stream, but be wary, there are orc hiding in the water. You can see their positioning due to the air bubbles breaking the waters surface. At first, parry all their attacks, then kill them. Keep moving up the river Entwash and you shall see another ent reflected in the water. Carry on up the river and you will pass under a water fall. Behind the falls is a cave, which a kindly cave troll resides in. You should know how to kill it now but anyway- To defeat it, use the same method as before, lure it into attacking you (go close to it) then move away whilst it swings its club. Then, quickly move in and use your DEVESTATING ATTACK depending on which upgrade you have (Rememeber, to use it, hold triangle and release when the sword is glowing. Repeat this a few times and the troll will fall. Be wary through, if you get too close to this troll, it will pick you up and smash you on the ground. Once you have killed it go to the hole which it broke through and there is a chest. In the chest is another weight to boost your experience points. Now leave the cave at the opposite end, clearing all obstacles and you shall meet another Mountain Troll. At first, you must defend (square) or face severe damage. To defeat it there are two main methods. You must knock it to the floor using the CHARGE ATTACK or RUSH ATTACK, depending on which upgrade you have. Then, press R2 and finish the creature off. The other way is, if you are knocked to the ground, use the RISING ATTACK, to bowl the enemy over, then again finish him off with your killing move. If you are in need of life, the creature will drop some. Now head off up the path and when you enter a narrow passage, beware and press parry, as an orc is waiting to ambush you. Kill him and more will join the fight. Kill these and you will come to a log blocking your path, and an archer. Kill the archer and move on.up the stream. Yet more orcs will drop down and attack you. Once you have killed the first wave, beware, because more and more will come. Finally, once you have killed them all, smash the log and head up the path. A short scene will tell you that there are two large cave trolls ahead. Don't smash the logs in the path to get to them, but instead go to the left and you will see a small passage. Clear the way with your FIERCE ATTACK and you will come to a chest. In the chest is health, so if you have full health, save it until you have finshed with the trolls. To the right, the trolls will be having fun. You must kill them in normal fashion. To defeat it, use the same method as before, lure it into attacking you (go close to it) then move away whilst it swings its club. Then, quickly move in and use your DEVESTATING ATTACK depending on which upgrade you have, (Rememeber, to use it, hold triangle and release when the sword is glowing. Repeat this a few times and the troll will fall. Just attack the trolls one at a time, avoid the other and you'll be laughing. Just note that these trolls will also pick you up and smash you to the ground ouch! Once you have cleanly dealt with these, look at the hollow inside the tree, and there is a chest in the chest is another weight to increase your experience points. Now head down into the hollow and clear the branches in the way. On the other side you will meet up Legolas and Gimli, and a short scene will reveal that Gandalf is indeed alive. He tells of the union of the Two Towers and that war is coming to Rohan. ==============================================================================

+ + + + + PLAINS OF ROHAN + + + + + [PORH] ============================================================================== So to the Plains Of Rohan you ride to save all those you can. At the start of the level you will see the town being overrun by Uruk-Hai. Then the level begins and Gandalf is acompanying you. Kill the 2 Uruk-Hai outside the gates, then enter the town. Gandalf hits the enemy with a staff stike which helps you on your way. You will notice that a bar signalling the health of the villagers has appeared in the top right hand corner. If this is depleated, the mission will be failed. Now, kill all of the Uruk-Hai in the courtyard, as they are attacking the villagers. To help you in the courtyard will be a few men of Rohan. When you have destroyed all the Uruk-Hai, Gandalf will open a door at the top of the yard. To it's right is a barrel containing health. Go inside and you will see villagers trapped by fire. To the right of the furnature, is barrel. Smash the barrel with your FIERCE ATTACK and water will issue from it, extinguishing the fire. Now smash the furnature to free the villagers. Now head back towards the door and a scene will show an Uruk-Hai kill a man, the man will fall and extinguish the fire at the foot of the stairs. Now an Uruk will appear in the doorway. Kill it and head up the stairs. At the top of the stairs smash the obstacles in your way and you will see Uruk-Hai attacking a woman and a man. Kill the Uruk-Hai for them to escape, then deal with the archer in the doorway. If you need health the Uruks may well drop some. Head out of the door and immediately you will see villagers running towards you. Go past them and you will meet an Mountain Troll .To kill him use the RUSH ATTACK, the press R2 to finish him off. If you are knocked down, use the RISING ATTACK to floor him, then press R2 to finish him off. Alteratively, if you hold him off for long enough, he may well step into the fire. Now move on and nail the two archers ahead of you, who are attacking a man. Kill them and look to your right ad you will see a barrel. Smash it and inside you will find a weight which will boost your experience points. Head up over the mound and you will find villagers being attacked by Uruk-Hai. Their path is blocked by fire. Press L1 to target your bow and fire. It will shoot a barrel out of your reach and the water from the barrel will extinguish the fire. Then clear the wood which is in the way. If you need arrows, there are some to your right. Now, head up the path and save the villagers from the enemy. Once you have killed them, keep to the path and a man who is on fire will run straight out of the roof of a house. There is noting you can do but let him, die, so head into the roof where he came from. You will see that the house is on fire and when you reach the top of the stairs, an Uruk-Hai will come to meet you. Slay him and head dow the stairs. As you try to leave the house, an Uruk will break the door down. Kill it and head out into the open. There is a small battle going on and Gandalf is here also. Kill the foes but quickly, as there is a man being attacked. At the top of the yard is a house raised on a platform and a villager is being attacked by a Goblin. You cannot reach him, so you must kill the Goblin with your arrows, but Gandalf may help also. When this is done, go to the left and break down the cart is your way, then head up the path. At the top you will come to a large battle, but there are more men of Rohan to help you. But you will also see a Uruk imprison 2 villagers in a burning building. A smaller bar will appear in the top right, indicating these certain villagers health. Do not join the battle yet, instead go and save the trapped people. They are in a building near the action. Some wood is blocking their escape, so smash it with your FIERCE ATTACK, then you can join the battle. Kill all the enemies which include archers, Goblins and Uruks. This will end the level. ============================================================================== + + + + + THE WESTFOLD + + + + + [TEFD] ============================================================================== At the start, Eomer of Rohan talks to you of the strange explosive devices the Uruk-Hai are transporting and asks you to help him. The level begins and timing is of the essence here. Hold L1 and target the nearest pile of explosives and when the Uruks are close, shoot the barrels and they will explode, killing your foes. Do the same with the other devices if need be. When you have killed all the nearby Uruks, head off dow the path. You will have barely turned the corner, when you will see Uruks charge at you. You will also notice some more explosives. Again aim at them and when the Uruks draw level, shoot the explosives and all the surrouding enemies will perish. There may be a few surviors a little way away. Shoot the explosive next to them to kill them. If this does not work, then you must kill them by hand. Head off to where they were stood and you will just cross the river when two orcs will come and meet you. Slay them and move on. Note that Eomer will follow you throughout the level and will never die. On the next corner, you will meet a shelded orc. Kill it an go around the corner. Quickly draw your bow and shoot the orc bearing explosives on its back. Do this every time you see these expolsive bearing orcs. Move down the hill and you will be on a wide road. Many orcs and Uruk-Hai will be there to fight you. Note that there will be many explosive bearing orcs running at you, so keep an eye out for them. When you are done killing, head through the arch at the end of the road. Immediately on the other side you will meet a soltary orc. Kill it mercilessly. Head down the road and you will see a small battle taking place. Note the positions of the explosives and shoot them to take out a good number of enemies. When all are killed, head through the next arch. You will immediately be meet by oncoming foes. When they are in position, shoot the explosives and kill the enemy. You will also notice the presence of TNT orcs. Shoot them as soon as you see them. Whilst you are doing this, head slowly up the path. And when you are at the top of the hill on the path You will sight a battle going on. Go and join the battle. Don't forget the uses of the explosive and use them when you have the chance. Kill all enemies and it will be easy with all the aid from the men of Rohan. When you have killed all, smash the cart in the way of the path on the left of the screen. Head down this path and you will have sight of a large band of orcs. Slay all the ones on the near bank. Beware of the TNT orc as they will run from the far bank, at you. Head into the marsh (still killing TNT orcs at sight) and shoot at the enemy, then move to avoid their fire. In this way, you will be able to take out the enemy archers, and advance to the far bank. Beware of the orcs hiding in the water. Make sure that you are aiming at the archers, rather that at the orcs with shields. Another good way to take out some of the orcs on the far bank would be to shoot a TNT orc whilst it is ear the enemy camp. If you take out the front line, Eomer will advance to the bank, with or without you. When you are on the far bank, stand well back from the line of explosive filled carts and shoot the nearest with an arrow. This will set off a chain reaction along the carts and all will be destroyed. This will signal the end of the level. ============================================================================== + + + + + GAP OF ROHAN + + + + + [GORH] ============================================================================== At the start of the level, you are in a small yard which two Warg riders burst into. To slay them, use your FIERCE ATTACK or shoot them with your arrows. If they attack you, parry (square) their attack. If you are in the need of health, the Wargs may well leave some behind. Before you exit the yard, look around the edges and you may well find silver weights in the barrels nearby. By now you should know that they increase your experience points. To exit the yard, look to the top of it and smash the wooden beams blocking your path. Once you are out, the beams overhead will collapse, blocking you off from Gimli and Legolas. ============================================================================== + + + + + BOSS 4: WARG LEADER + + + + + [WGLR] ============================================================================== Now you will be faced with the Wargs leader. First of all kill all the other Wargs (the leader is the on the middle ledge). To kill the others use your FIERCE ATTACK or shoot them with your arrows. If they attack you, parry (square) their attack. Once they are dead, they may leave behind some goodies, health, arrows. Anyway, whe they are dead, a gauge will appear in the top right hand corner, which shows the Warg leaders health. To kill him, you must wait for him to attack. Whe he charges at you, use your parry (square) to hold him off. This will knock you to the ground, but won't harm you. When he has done this twice, he will stand in front of the ridges and the Warg will stand on it's back legs. you muust quickly run forward and use your FIERCE ATTACK on him. This will cause him slight damage. But if you use the DOUBLE HIT FIERCE COMBO (triangle, triangle) you will cause more damage. Also when you do this, the Warg seems to be injured, so take this oppotunity to attack again. Though beware, as it may recover quicker than you expect. If you continue this, he should be defeated after a while. If you try and attack him before he has attacked you, or you take to long to attack him, the Warg will grab your leg in it's move, whilst the rider will hit you with his sword. This will cause you a great deal of damage so try and avoid it. If you fire arrows at him, a random points, he will simply defelect them and you will waste your arrows. Occasionally another Warg may join him. This is mainly for your benefit, as when slaughtered, they leave you health or arrows. Note that the DEVESTATING ATTACK attack, seems to have little or no effect on him for some reason. Note that all the way though this level, you should stay quite close to the place where the Warg keeps returning to rest and such. ============================================================================== + + + + + HELMS DEEP: THE DEEPING WALL + + + + + [HDDW] ============================================================================== In this level, you must keep the enemy numbers on the wall down ad these are indicated by the gauge in the top right hand corner. When the gauage is empty there are no foes on the wall,when blue there are few, yellow there are an average amount and when red, there are too many. Whe the gauage is full and is flashing red, you are overrun ad you have but a few seconds to get the number down. This means kill the nearest enemy. You will also notice that red spots will appear around the gauage. These signify the ladders on the wall. You will notice that the gauage is in the shape of the wall. The positioning on the gauage, shows positioning on the wall. To keep the umber of foes down, you must keep the number of ladders down. To do this, press O to kick the ladders from the wall. You must continue this pattern, but don not leave any section of the wall free. Move from section to section killing and kicking ladders whilst you are there. If you are in need of health, check the barrels along the wall, as they may contain some. Also the enemies may also leave some behind. You may find other things in the barrels, such as silver weights. After a while, one of the Uruk-hai captains will order the archers to fire at the wall. This will pose no real threat and you must continue as you were before, keeping the enemy numbers down. Also note that you can kick enemies who are close to the edge, off of the wall. After a while, the enemies will start to send more powerful foes, such as Uruk-Hai. These will take longer to kill, so you must be swifter about your business. Also, the arrows fired at you may become more intense, so you also need to be more careful. Then, when you have just got the hang of it, those b******s bring out the catapults. You should now be more cautious as if you are hit, it will cause great damage. Also,the catapults,will set small fires along the wall. Then if you still manage to hold of the enemy, after a while the Elvish archers will come to the rescue. This cues the end of the level, but it also shows a gap being blown into the wall. ============================================================================== + + + + + HELMS DEEP: BREACHED WALL + + + + + [BDBW] ============================================================================== The wall is breached, the women and children are safe inside the Glittering Caves, but only if the door holds out and you must protect it. As you start you will see the doors health gauge in the top right hand corner. If this is depleated, the door will yield and the enemy will get in thus ending the mission. The first wave of orcs will be many TNT bearing ones. Shoot them at a distance with your bow/throwing axes and they will explode. Sometimes if you shoot one, the others will explode in a chain reaction. They will split up into 3 groups, right, left and centre. So watch and shoot every side. DO NOT let them get near the door. If you are short on arrows, the fallen enemies may drop some. When you have killed around 30 of them, another wave will be sent in. In this wave will be orcs and one TNT bearer. Shoot the TNT orc and the expolsion will kill many of the orcs. Be aware that some will not die and will make straight for the door. If there is a large group, I would recommend that you use ISILDURS DEATH CHARGE, if not slay them however you want. The next wave will be much the same, but instead of orcs with shields, there will be orcs with mini-axes. Do the same, shoot the TNT bearer and kill off the survivors. The door at this point will have little or no damage. The next wave again will be a repeat, except that there will be a mix of shield and axe orcs. The next 2 waves will be smaller, but will be in quick succession.They again will be much of the same. You will then have a brief rest bite before around 10 mini-axe wielding orcs will attack. I recommend ISILDURS DEATH CHARGE to deal with them. Also, if you are knocked to the floor, RISING ATTACK would be useful. In the midst of this, keep an eye out for the TNT orcs that will advance towards the door. When you have killed all of these, a band of shield bearing orcs will attack. You should be killing for fun by now, so deal with these swiftly, but BEWARE as again many TNT orcs will be moving towards the door. When you have killed all of these, another mixed orc attack will advance. Kill all of these, but again, keep an eye out for the TNT orcs that will come in greater numbers this time. When all the TNT orcs are dead, a band of shield bearers will appear on the left flank and a band of axe bearers to the right. Slay these and again (you'd think they'd get bored) watch out for the TNT orcs. After all these are slain, the first band of Uruk-Hai will attack., backed by... you guessed it TNT orcs. When these are dead, wave upon wave of TNT, Uruk-Hai, Orcs will attack. Hold them off as well as you can, try not to let them near the door. When you have finally weathered that storm, a small band of Uruks, headed by a Mountainn Troll will attack. Take out the troll first- To defeat it there are two main methods. You must knock it to the floor using the CHARGE ATTACK or RUSH ATTACK, depending on which upgrade you have. Then, press R2 and finish the creature off. The other way is, if you are knocked to the ground, use the RISING ATTACK, to bowl the enemy over, then again finish him off with your killing move. Then tackle the Uruks who will be laying into the door. When this has happened, the enemy Captain will order arrow fire against you. Try and avoid the arrows, whilst a new band of archers will pass through the broken wall. Also with them will be a mountain troll. Kill the troll using the same method as before. This will enrage then enemy and they will begin to attack using a catapult. So as well as a group of archers, there is a catapult and constantly advancing TNT orcs. Then, to cap it all off, they send forward a cave-troll. I suggest that you handle the troll first. To do this, lure the troll into swinging it's club (go near, then quickly move away) then swiftly go forward and use your DEVESTATING ATTACK. After a few hits, it should fall. In between all of this, if you get a chance to shoot a passing TNT orc, then do so. Once the troll has fallen, you will see that the enemy archers have fallen back, leaving you to deal with the oncoming TNT bearers. When you have killed them, a scene will show that the catapult has been advanced forward. From now on all speed is needed, as the door will be under heavy attack. It should now have round about a quarter of it's health left. Now, the enemy captain will now charge and challenge you. I think it's a good idea to kill him in the same way as a mountain troll. Also, you will notice that in the top right hand corner, the catapults health is shown. Once you have killed the Captain, go forward andtake on the enemy line, which is protecting the catapult. To take on a host so big, you will need to use a lot of clever combos. My recommendation would be ISILDURS DEATH CHARGE. Also, don't forget to parry all enemy swipes. Start at one flank and work your way across as you kill. If you are in need of health, there are some foes that will drop some in death. After a while, you should have killed them all, leaving the catapult exposed.The door should have around half of it's health left. Now go to the catapult and on it's 3 sides are 3 support beams of wood (one on each side). Use your DEVESTATING ATTACK whatever that may be, on each until it breaks. Then move onto the next and the next when that has broken. When the final one breaks, the catapults health should have gone. A scene will show it breaking upon itself. Don't forget while you are doing this section, you need to be as quick as you can, as the door is being attacked all the while. ============================================================================== + + + + + HELMS DEEP: HORNBURG COURTYARD + + + + + [HDHC] ============================================================================== At the start of the level, you will immediately see that in the top right hand corner of the screen is a gauge. This signifys the health of the gate behind you. You must defend the gate by killing as many enemies as you can, especially those which are attacking the gate. These will mainly be orcs to begin with. You will not be alone in this task, as many men of Rohan and Gimli will be on hand to help. Combos will be useful in taking out large groups and I recommend that you use ISILDURS WAR RUSH. Whilst all this is happening, arrows will be shot down into the courtyard. After a while, Legolas will ask for aid, as he is being overrun by Uruk-Hai. A gauge will appear in the top right showing his health. Now at the back of the yard are some stairs (opposite the gate). Go up these stairs and go left along the wall (past allies and enemies alike) and you will reach Legolas up a short flight of stairs. He is in combat with 3 Uruks so help him out with these, pick up the nearby silver weight and head back down to the courtyard. The gates health should now be around 1 fifth depleated. Now, do the same as before- slay some orc, whilst defending the gate. On your way down you will see that Gimli is greatly outnumbered. You will also find that the Uruks have joined the party. Stop them in their demolition of the gate. Legolas will now be helping out in the courtyard. If you need health, no doubt one of the enemies will drop some. Soon after, someone will shout 'Archers! On the wall!'. You must now go up the afore mentioned stairs at the back of the yard. Once you are on the wall, look across to the distant wall and you will see a band of archers lined up and firing. Take them out one by one with your own bow. But, you must be aware that the catapult will occasionally shooting at you. When you have killed all of the archers, head back down into the courtyard. Back in the courtyard, Mountain Trolls have now arrived. To defeat them there are two main methods. You must knock it to the floor using the CHARGE ATTACK or RUSH ATTACK, depending on which upgrade you have. Then, press R2 and finish the creature off. The other way is, if you are knocked to the ground, use the RISING ATTACK, to bowl the enemy over, then again finish them off with your killing move. The gates health should be quite low at this point. You must stay near the gate stopping all enemies from touching the gate. If a Mountain Troll approaches use the above method. Also, you will have noticed that the other foes have grown in numbers. Now the icing on the cake will appear. Two Cave-Trolls will approach over the wall. To kill them, get near to them (lure them to attack you) then move quickly away. Now swiftly use your DEVESTATING ATTACK on the beast. If you have the top upgrade for this, it should die in 1 to 2 hits. Repeat this with the second and when it dies it will fall onto the gate, smashing it to pieces. This is normal and will signal the end of the level. ============================================================================== + + + + + TOWER OF ORTHANC + + + + + [TOOC] ============================================================================== The Tower of Orthanc, Sarumans stronghold. You must battle your way through 20 floors to reach the summit. Here is a guide to each floor. Note that once you have done all 20, you will unlock the secret character ISILDUR. You must then complete the tower with him to unlock the secret codes, but it is easier with him. At the completion of each floor, you will be granted a small amount of health, so you will gather- health is precious, so don't waste it. Also note that kill ratings are irrelevant, as you don't need experince points after level 10. Also, I have a tip for you. Whilst the enemies are spawning at the edges, go to the edge and charge up your DEVESTATING ATTACK. If an enemy spawns near you, or come close, release the DEVESTATING ATTACK and they will die. This is a good way to get some early kills to make your life easier. FLOOR 1 Saruman will conjure up 5 Uruk-Hai for you to fight. Defeat them in any way which you see fit, but I would recommend ISILDURS DEATH CHARGE or BANE OF SARUMAN, depending on your mood and character. Just be careful with your health. FLOOR 2 6 enemies- a mix between shield orcs and Uruk-Hai, do the same, but be careful with your health. FLOOR 3 4 mini-axe wielding swords and 2 Uruk-Hai. More of the same, thank you please... FLOOR 4 4 shield orcs, 2 Uruks. ISILDURS DEATH CHARGE, ISILDURS SWIFT TERROR them all, you know the drill... floor 5 3 Shield orcs and 3 mini axe orcs, this seems much too easy... FLOOR 6 Saruman will conjure up 8 orc archers. I have a sneaky plan here for you. Run behind the nearest one and start to deflect the arrows. The slow witted orcs will shoot the one in front of you and kill him with the US Armys favourite term... Friendly Fire. Now, run behind the next and the next doing the same thing. Eventually there will only be one left and you can take him out however you wish. Alternatively, you can just follow the circle round slaying as you go, though you are liable to take for damage this way. FLOOR 7 2 Uruks , 2 mini-axe orcs and 4 archers. Now here you must do a little running. Avoid the chasing pack by running from them. When you have a fair distance between you, shoot at the orc archers, or slay them with your weapon. When you have killed all four in this way, slay the Uruks and orcs to be clear of this floor. FLOOR 8 4 shield orcs and 4 orc archers. Do the same thing- run away from the chasing pack and shoot/slay the archers, then turn and deal with the shield orcs. What could be simpler? FLOOR 9 4 orc archers, 2 mini-axe orcs and 2 shield orcs. Yet again same method, run away from the chasing pack, slay/shoot the archers, then turn and fight the chasers. Hunter becomes the hunted. FLOOR 10 6 Little Uruks and 2 orc archers. Quickly take out the two archers and then fight the Uruks. ISILDURS DEATH CHARGE works wonders, as does BANE OF SARUMAN. Lovely jubbly! But I'll tell you that on this one, you must keep an eye on your health, otherwise you wiil probably die. Also, your DEVESTATING ATTACK may be useful if you have the time to use it. FLOOR 11 Again, another lot of orc archers, so run behind the nearest one and start to deflect arrows. Sure enough the archers will kill the one in front of you with friendly fire. Then move on to the next and do the same, and then the next. Eventually, there will only be one left and you may dispose of it in a suitable manner...painfully I hope. FLOOR 12 2 Uruks, 4 mini axe orcs and 2 orc archers. Take out the archers first by keeping ahead of the chasing pack and shooting/slaying them. Then turn and confront the chasing pack. FLOOR 13 4 Uruks and 4 orc archers. Take out the archers first by getting some headway on the chasing pack, then shooting/slaying the archers. Then turn and defeat the 4 Uruks. FLOOR 14 3 Uruks, 3 shield orc and two archers. Business as usual... FLOOR 15 This floor sees the entrance of a Cave-Troll, but before you kill it, take out all of the surrounding archers. Then lure it into swinging for you (go close, then move out of the way) and when it has, quickly move in and use your DEVESTATING ATTACK on it. It will die in 1-2 hits if you have the highest upgrade. FLOOR 16 Well, well, well, 2 archers and 2 Mountain Trolls. Quickly take out the archers with your bow and then face the trolls. To defeat it there are two main methods. You must knock it to the floor using the CHARGE ATTACK or RUSH ATTACK, depending on which upgrade you have. Then, press R2 and finish the creature off. The other way is, if you are knocked to the ground, use the RISING ATTACK, to bowl the enemy over, then again finish him off with your killing move. Do this with the other and you'll be laughing. FLOOR 17 2 Mountain trolls, 2 Uruks and 3 Archers, so deal with this one much in the same way as the last. FLOOR 18 The cave troll returns in this one, backed up by a mountain troll and a host of archers. Quickly take out the archers then face the mountain troll. To defeat it there are two main methods. You must knock it to the floor using the CHARGE ATTACK or RUSH ATTACK, depending on which upgrade you have. Then, press R2 and finish the creature off. The other way is, if you are knocked to the ground, use the RISING ATTACK, to bowl the enemy over, then again finish him off with your killing move. Now focus your attension on the Cave Troll. Lure it into swinging for you (go close, then move out of the way) and when it has, quickly move in and use your DEVESTATING ATTACK on it. It will die in 1-2 hits if you have the highest upgrade. FLOOR 19 2 Cave-Trolls, 2 archers and 2 mini-axe orcs. Take out the archers with your bow, then fight then orcs. When this is done turn your attention to the two Cave-Trolls. Lure it into swinging for you (go close, then move out of the way) and when it has, quickly move in and use your DEVESTATING ATTACK on it. It will die in 1-2 hits if you have the highest upgrade. Repeat this with the second troll to advance to the final floor... FLOOR 20 3 Cave-Trolls, and I think there are some archers too. Kill the archers with your bow. When this is done turn your attention to the Cave-Trolls. Lure the first into swinging for you (go close, then move out of the way) and when it has, quickly move in and use your DEVESTATING ATTACK on it. It will die in 1-2 hits if you have the highest upgrade. Do this with the next two and you'll be complete! ============================================================================== + + + + + SECRET CODES + + + + + [SRTC] ============================================================================== At the end of the game the secret codes are revealed, but you can input these at anytime.
