The main reasons I am doing this walkthrough are that- it's the holidays there's nothing to do, I have no new PS2 games until I have the money and I would like to pay back something to gamefaqs as it has helped me through numerous tough spots. The first thing you will notice is that the game is set on the book, not the film, so obviously the characters will be different though this doesn't excuse why Legolas has a Scottish accent or why they insist on calling Gandalf, Gandolf... strange. Also the people who haven't read the book will find some things in which are not in the film. Such as the OLD FOREST. This is because the game is based on the book rather than the film-as previously mensioned. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3. + + + + + INVENTORY + + + + + >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> To use your inventory press and hold R2 and select from the menu. All the items and pick-ups which you collect in the game will be in your inventory such as- lembas, weapons and The One Ring. Select the items using up, down, left, right and the X button to select. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 4. + + + + + CHARACTER CONFIG + + + + + >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> There are 3 playable characters in the game who you control and they are- Frodo, Aragorn and Gandalf.

Miruvor will return spirit to 100% If you look n your inventory whilst you are the character Gandalf you will be able to select the different types of magic which he posesses.These are- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> + + + + + GANDALF'S MAGIC + + + + + >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *Fiery Blast* Shoots out a jet of flame a a single target. Probably the most commonly used magic on the game. Cost- *Chain Lightning* Blasts numerous targets at once. Wll attack all enemies within range. The lightning jumps from target to target inflctng damage on each. Cost- *Staff Stirke* While surrounded by enemies,use staff strke to knock all enemies within range to the ground, sometimes killing them. A ring of force is cast out. Cost- *Heal* Gandalf rises from the floor in blue light.This restores all of Gandalfs health, though it takes time in dong so and you may get hit in the proccess. Cost- *Attract* Cost- Gandalf can make all enemies attack a single target, though this also happens only within range. For Gandalf and Aragorn the finishing attack (hit the opponent to the ground, stand over their body and stab them through the heart) is a good tactic. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 5. + + + + + HEALTH, CORRUPTION, PURITY AND DETECTION + + + + + >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a. Health Your health bar is situated in the top left hand corner. When the bar is totally green the characters health is full. As the character loses health the bar depletes. When the bar is empty the character will die. Though there are numerous ways in which to regain health they are- Mushrooms-These are the primary source of health early in the game put the health meter up a small way. Cram-This is a type of way-bread which puts up your health by about a quarter. Lembas- A type of way-bread made by the elves restores around 3 quarters of health back. Heal- In your inventory select heal and this will take your health up to 100%. Please note this only works with Gandalf. b. Corruption and Purity Every time you put on the ring your corruption will increase, when your corruption bar is empty you will get the game over screen. There are two corruption bars these are situated in the top right hand corner. One of them is a gold bar and will move down the bar until you take off the ring. The other will decrease, but it will fill up once you take off the ring, though it won't fill up past the golden bar. If you earn purity the golden bar will move back up the other bar. You can earn purity by helping others an example of this is- saving the sheriff from the wolf. Though when you are Gandalf this bar will be a spirit bar. c.Detection In the top left-hand corner you will notice an eye. This shows you how close to detection by your enemies you are. When it is white you are out of sight of your enemies. When it is yellow you are close to being spotted, and when it is red you have been spotted by enemies. When red this is particularly perilous when spotted by Nazgul as they will do their "Surrender the Ring" clip. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> And so the walkthrough begins don't forget this is my first walkthrough and it may be very bad. Tell me at the email address above. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 6a. + + + + + THE SHIRE + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< You will begin at your (Frodo) home and in case you hadn't noticed you are a little hairy footed hobbit. Anyway the first quest which you complete will appear once you have started the game, these are- "Find the Bag End Deed", "Sell Bag End to Lobelia Sackville-Baggins" and "Get the key to Bag End". From your starting position go through the hole and turn right, on top of a red chest should be the Bag End key, one quest done. Now turn around and take your first right and then first right again. You will be in a room in which is a red chest in here is the Bag End deed now u have two quests completed. Now leave Bag End and speak to Sam who will be outside, he will tell u to meet Merry and Pippin at the Green Dragon Inn. Now turn left and walk down the hill and follow the road which you come to.Here you should run into the happiest person you wish to meet in the form of Ted Sandyman. He will tell you that he has lost his pin for the mill.Now hop onto the field to your right and follow it until you come to the farmer, he will tell you that his weathervane is stuck. You can either throw stones at it and dislodge it- or go round the back, climb the ladder and dislodge it that way. The farmer wll reward you by giving you Ted's missing pin.Now return this to Ted. He doesn't seem much more cheerful now than he did before but that's him... Now go past the mill and leave Hobbiton over the bridge and you will come to Bywater. When you reach Bywater carry on straight until you come to The Green Dragon ( the one with the wall around). Go in and talk to Merry and Pippin who are over by the fireplace, they will tell you to meet them at Farmer Maggots farm. Now leave the Green Dragon and go forward through the market square and turn right. Here Lobelia will be stood outside a house. Talk to her a she wants you to ring the warning bell which is located in the market square.Do this by either hitting the bell with your walking stick or by throwing a stone at it. The sheriff Robin Smallburrow will come from the inn and tell you that Lobelia is wrong. Now go back and talk to Lobelia and sell her Bag End. Notice how she doesn't pay you for Bag End? ...cheeky mare. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> b. + + + + + AVOID THE NAZGUL + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< You will now be told to go and collect the One Ring from Bag End, do this now. Once in Bag End the key is located in Frodo's bedroom. Take a left and the key is in a red chest in the room in front of you. Two quests will now appear telling you to give the Bag End key to Master Gamgee and to take the Ring to Rivendell. Now leave Bag End and turn right, walk along here and you will see one of the Nazgul talking to Master Gamgee. Once the sequence is over and you have given the key to Master Gamgee I strongly suggest that you SAVE the game as it is easy to get caught by the Nazgul. You must now leave Hobbiton without getting caught by the Nazgul. A useful tactic which I used was every time I made progress I saved the game. OK so here we go, by no means travel on the roads or put on the Ring! Behind you is a hill climb to the top of it, here u can see the Nazguls movements. On the road at the bottom of the hill is a Nazgul running around. When it has run down road from left to right, go down over road and onto a field, dot stop until u reach a fence. Now go over the road on your right, go past the house and cross the road opposite you. Now you should be in the field across from the mill. But don't just cross the bridge as there is a Nazgul on the other side. Lure the Nazgul over the bridge and up the road with rocks and while it is doing this make a run for it! Cross the bridge and SAVE. It is worth noting occasionally the Nazgul isn't waiting at the bridge. Enter Bywater and you will see the sheriff being attacked by a wolf. Beat the wolf to death with you're walking stick. Once this is done your purity will be increased. Now follow the path through Bywater and leave through the archway. A little while down the road you will meet a pack of wolves- more than a match for a solitary hobbit. You can either outrun them ( still following path) or put on the Ring, but just go a short way before taking it of before running the rest of the way to Green Hill Country. Cross the Bridges and take the path down the hill. A short way down the hill you will see another Nazgul. Now walk down the stream until u can hide behind the big boulder. SAVE. Throw a stone a short way in front of the Nazgul. When he moves to it move to the right hand side of the rock. Now throw a rock right in front of you and wait for him to move. While he is inspecting the rock run over the bridge where he was stood. Your now at farmer maggots farm follow path to the gate and meet Merry, Pippin and Sam. After a short clip you will be in the… >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> c. + + + + + OLD FOREST + + + + + d. + + + + + TREE LABYRITH + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< You've been in the forest 5 seconds and your friends are already clever enough to get lost. You're next 3 quests will be to find each of them. The ways in which I have found them may not be the quickest but you will find them. You might see the odd giant spider just beat it with your walking stick. At first the path is blocked so walk up and down until it opens. As Frodo says the forest has a mind of its own. Each time you discover one of them your purity will be increased. To find Merry- From your starting point follow the path and take your first right and then your first left. Merry will run up to you. To find Pippin- From the point where you find Merry, go on ahead until you reach a fork in the path. Go left, then at the next fork, take a left. When you hear Pippin's voice hang a right. To find Sam- Double-back the way you came, and take the left hand path. There will be a 3 way fork in the road take the right hand one then take a right when you hear Sam calling you.. Once you have found all of them you will be on... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> e. + + + + + THE WITHYWINDLE PATH + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Here just walk upstream and you will meet the first boss- Old Man Willow. He has taken Merry and Pippin into his mouth. You must throw stones at his (hands?) until they break- this could take a while. What ever you do don't hit his trunk (I'd advise saving before this) , if you hit it 3 times Merry and Pippin will be crushed to death! and you will get the game over screen. A good way to do this boss is to position yourself just out of his reach. In doing this when his hands come down they are a much bigger target to hit. They were so easy to hit I didn't even have to move my control stick. When this is completed you will go with a man called Tom Bombadil He will tell you to find 12 lilies for the Lady Goldberry. These lilies are spread up and down the river bank. I will tell you where the exact positions when I update my walkthrough. But to start you off there are two just further up the river bank. Once you have collected all the lilies (not without intervention by the giant spiders) return to Tom Bombadil. After you have done this a short clip will be shown and you're health and purity will be increased. Now change direction and hang a right, follow the path and u may see a wolf or 5, deal with these how you dealt with the last one but this time you will have help from your friends. Once you have reached the end of this path you will reach... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> f. + + + + + THE BARROW DOWNS + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Now you will enter the Barrow Downs this place is sooo beautiful I'm surprised tourists aren't flocking here...not. After a clip in the game you will discover you're friends have got lost again. Their getting good at this. Walk up the path ahead of you Now you will meet ghosts though hard to see in the mist, a couple of whacks with a stick should sort them out. Now turn right and go into the lake. Take out the 3 ghosts here and then hang a right. Here you will meet more ghosts once these are cleared DON'T go back to lake but turn right and take the path that runs along the side of the hill. You will see a hollow with another 3 ghosts, you don't need to go down there, instead carry on the path until you come to the first bend turn left up the hill here. At the top of the hill are yet more bloody ghosts, turn right and go up the hill. At the top you will be taken to... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> g. + + + + + BARROW WIGHT + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This is the second boss of the game which looks intimidating but isn't really. The first thing you must do is collect the dagger which is situated to your right on a ledge in a red chest. Now to deal the damage, avoid his green breath though. When you hit him he will disappear and then reappear in another part of the room. Hit him 5 times and at that point Frodo will call for Tom Bombadil who appears and banishes the Barrow- Wight. The Westenesse Dagger which you aquired will now replace your walking stick as your main weapon. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> h. + + + + + BREE + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< You are now in the hillside village of Bree, inside the Prancing Pony Inn. You must make arrangements to stay the night. Walk forward, take a right and then a left, you should now be in the bar. See the tall, dark man in the corner? This is Aragorn... Hurrah! He will tell you to check in. Return to the main entrance and meet the in keeper Barliman Butterbur, and he will check you in. Now return to the bar and see a rather long clip which the game plays. Aragorn introduces himself as "Strider". After this clip this is your chance to use Aragorn. Your quest is to find Merry who went for a walk. Walk straight forward from the Prancing Pony and you are challenged by a horse thief, simply murder the cheeky f*****. Once this is done turn back and take a left, Merry will be through an archway to your left. Speak to Merry and you will see wolves being set on you, kill these easily with your amazing long sword. In the next quest given you must find items that are useful to make decoys of the hobbits these are- clothes, melons, hay bolster and small logs. Small logs- Turn left from where you found Merry, carry on forward until you are challenged to a duel by the gatekeeper. Kill him with the help of Merry a good tactic to use would be to kick him to the floor, walk near his head and drive the sword through his heart (see character config). Once he is dead on the right hand wall is a walled area, in here are the small logs. Old Clothes- Go forward away from the gates until you come to a barrel with rags on it. Melons- From where you found old clothes go forward and take the last left (near trees in holders). Carry on ahead and you come to some stalls, next to the left hand stall are the melons. Hay Bolster- Turn back and go to the place before you turned left, carry on a short way forward and a clip will be shown. In which a small hobbit (Nob) is being threatened. You must kill the two "orc sons of Mordor". Again the "Kick and Stab" tactic is good here (see character config). Once these are dead the Hay Bolster is in the stables behind. Now return to the Prancing Pony Inn (first right and then turn into 1st alley on right). This is the completion of Bree and you will be shown yet another clip showing the fooling of the Nazgul and that you are headed for Rivendell. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> i. + + + + + AMON SUL (WEATHERTOP) + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Now your in sort of a barren land quite cheerful really...Here you will meet a lot of wild dogs, dispose of them with your sword. The hobbits help out…sort of. Your quest for this is to reach the summit of Weathertop. To start turn right down the path in front of you. Take a left at the first fork, follow the road until you see a few large boulders in front of you. Carry on the road past the boulders. Follow the path and pass between two hills, keep following the path until you see a light here you will find cram. Also about 4 or 5 wild dogs. Keep following the main path, don't go up the hill with the tree on it, instead take the path just to the left. Follow this path until you reach a camp fire, next to the campfire is lembas. Now turn right see the path? Just follow it to the top. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> j. + + + + + TROLL + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This is a huge massive troll that looks invincible but is really quite easy. Circle the troll until it swigs for you or tries the hammer you into the ground. When it does move out of the way and when it has finished hit it a few times with your long sword. Do this a few times and it will fall. Invincible my arse. Now a clip is shown showing the Nazgul heading for the camp. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> k. + + + + + PROTECT FRODO + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< You are then at the camp and you must protect Frodo from them. To do this stay near Frodo and fight off any Nazgul with your flaming stick. Hit them about 5 times each and they will run off. Don't forget there's lembas next to the fire. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> l. + + + + + TROLL SHAWS + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Here you meet more trolls who are a little more tricky this time. You must follow the path and go on ahead of the hobbits to scout for trolls. Go on a little further and a black wolf will start howling. After this carry on forwards until you have the opportunity to slay wild dogs. Keep to the path and you should see a mountain troll- this one looks well armored. Also there is the timely intervention of more wild dogs- kill these first while avoiding the trolls wild swings. Though when the troll swings it should take out some of the dogs also. *Note the lembas in the undergrowth. The troll takes around 10 hits to kill and once it is dead he will drop some handy cram. I keep saying this but its true- keep following the path and shortly you should be greeted by more wild dogs, though by now you should be killing these for fun. Round the next two corners you should see another armored troll, kill this in the same fashion you killed the other one and again it will drop cram. Along the path you will meet something that is actually challenging in the form of orcs. My advice is to retreat to the hobbits as they will help you out. The orcs will drop treats such as lembas. Now travel at hobbit speed back to the battlefield. Here take out the archers and troll and two more trolls will appear. Fight one on your own while the hobbits fight the other. Once you have finished with yours go and help the hobbits out. A little further on a tick will appear in the box "all enemies cleared from area". A loooong clip will be shown and you will emerge in Rivendell and the House of Elrond. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> m. + + + + + RIVENDELL + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Nothing to do here take the door behind you and Bilbo will give you his Mithril shirt and the sword- Sting. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> n. + + + + + MORIA + + + + + o. + + + + + HOLLIN GATE + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< In my opinion The Mines of Moria are the most annoying, boring confusing part of the game but you have a walkthrough and I didn't. You join where a discussion is taking place over which route to take. The decision is made to tread the Mines of Moria. Here you get too use Gandalf for the first time who can use magic- yay! Miruvor will be next to the campfire (Miruvor-See character config). Straight away you will be attacked by two dogs kill these obviously, then take the path on the right and more dogs will attack you. A short way down the track you will come across a troll. The best way to take out a troll is to use Fiery Blast (O) Even further down the track are orcs, kill these and the archer, then make your way up the hill. On your climb you will be met by more orcs kill these and continue. I find the best way to kill orcs is again to use Firey Blast. Once at the top take out the orcs and use the left hand path. Walk around the lake until you come to the Hollin Gate. Once you have reached this point the quest will be complete. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> p. + + + + + WATER CREATURE OCTOPUS THING + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Now you are Aragorn again I don't see the point I changing all the time but then again I don't make games for a living. I don't know the name of this thing so work with me. This looks really hard to beat but there's that word "looks" again. All you must do is fire at each of its tentacles with your bow until it withdraws each of them. Once you have done this Gandalf will open the door and so you enter the… q.Mines Of Moria- Labyrinth Gandalf! Again! What's with these people? Take the obvious path forward and you will encounter orcs, use the Firey Blast to kill these. Take any cram which they drop thankfully. At the end of the passage press triangle to pull the switch (it looks like a stick in a plant pot) which will open the door. This chamber is empty save for some miruvor and a small fire. Cross the room, pull the next switch and go into the next room. It will have many stone pillars. Kill the orcs and take the passage to the right- kill all the orcs on this path. At the bottom of the path should be a ramp- up here is lembas, now continue down the passage. Through the archway is a bridge which is defended by orcs slay these foul beasts. Once across the bridge you should on a narrow path and headed towards light…and orcs. I don't really need to tell you how to slay orcs by now. Go straight on and through the archway where the orcs will be waiting. The next room is sort of a platform/bridge, kill every orc in the vicinity. Go straight on and through an archway, down some stairs,turn right and go up more stairs. At the end of the passage should be a lift which will take you to a lower floor. As soon as you get off the lift you are attacked by orcs. Go down the passage and take the first left. Here is another platform/bridge. Again take out all orcs and take the right hand passage, onto a rough track, here you meet orcs. Is there any escape from these things? Carry on through the passage, and you will come to a room with 4 stone pillars- pass straight through the room. As you enter the next room you will see a large crack through the middle. Go through the doorway on the left and take the miruvor. Now exit the room and take the narrow path on the left. A clip will be shown in which you take camp. After this go forward and pull the switch and go through the door. Kill all the orcs and take the right had passage. Take the passage in front of you. Trigger the switch and a bridge will be extended. Now go back and take the passage to your left. A clip is shown in which Legolas suspects you are being followed. Now take the passage ahead of you and cross the bridge which is defended by orcs. Once across you should come across another armored troll kill it with Firey Blast. When it is defeated go into chamber and take the passage to your right. Take the stores of miruvor and cram. From here go back into room and go straight on. Trigger the switch and again a bridge will be extended. Go back over the bridge and hang a right and at the crossroads take the passage in front of you. At the next crossroads take the right hand passage and cross the bridge. You will be met by a solitary orc. Go through the door and you will enter… >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> r. + + + + + THREE PASSAGES + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Cross the bridge and kill the orcs. Pass through the door way a kill these orcs. Follow the path killing all enemies along the way. When you come to a room with a switch in it, trigger the switch. Now you will be shown a clip in which Pippin thinks it's a good idea to tell the orcs you're here. You will now be before the three passages, down the left on will be miruvor and a couple of orcs. But the one to the right is he correct passage. Follow the upwards, winding, orc ridden path until you come to a room with a switch. Enter the room on the other side of the door and a lip will tell you that you are close to the exit. It will also tell you that there's the small matter of two cave trolls waiting to pummel you to death. While the others handle the trolls you must find a way out. The answer is quite simple really. In the centre of the room is a statue. Around the statue are 4 small, grey plates. Next to them should be 4 sculptures (pillars with balls on top). You must push these (triangle) onto the plates. Once you do this the exit will be opened. *Note- Don't hesitate to help your friends if they tell you they can't cope. Exit by the door lit up in blue and take your first right. Here Gandalf will read of how the orcs stormed Moria. Then you will see many orcs running to the place where you stand. Then for some reason you re-enter the game as Frodo and you are in the secod hall, I find this rather annoying. This aside you and Gimli must find a way out. Go forwards and help Gimli fight the orcs, though they are much stronger than you, you should have plenty of mushrooms to boost your health. Once the orcs have been defeated, on your left should be two platforms close to each other, jump onto the opposite platform. Once here there should be another platform close, now jump to this one. On this platform is a ramp- go up it and slay the archer that has no doubt been annoying you. At the end of this platform is like a blur rock thingy, push this off the end of the platform. Now return to the first platform and blue rock should be on your left, push it onto the grey panel in front of you and the door will open. Now head back to the entrance, but before you reach it turn right. Pull the switch and the bridge will extend, leave all the fighting to Gimli. Cross the next two bridges and head left. At the edge of the abyss is some cram. Now go turn round and go forwards. On your right should be another bridge go over it, only fight the orcs that are in your way- avoid them if you can. On the next platform should be a HUGE ladder climb to the top of it. At the top follow the platform round and either fight the orcs or run right the way round the platform. At the end of the platform should be another ladder, climb down it and pull the switch at the bottom. This will extend the bridge so Gimli can get across. Now exit the second hall, ignoring all orcs on the way. You will now meet the first really challenging boss. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> s. + + + + + BALROG-ABYSS FIGHT + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This great big f*** off thing is as hard as it looks...unless you have a walkthrough-the irony. Position yourself on the bridge (so you can reach the balrog easily) and avoid the creatures fire breaths. Stun the creature with your Lightning Attack (you can use your staff strike but Lightning is long-range). Once it is stunned go at hit the beast with your sword, you will only get 2 or 3 hits in. Make sure you are out of the way before he reacts because his sword will slay you I one hit. The creature will take around 20 hits before a clip is shown where the beast falls into shadow. Then Gandalf cleverly follows him in- and he calls us fools? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> t. + + + + + LOTHLORIEN-THE GOLDEN WOOD + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< After a clip you will emerge in Lothlorien but there's nothing much to do here. When you are bored of talking to people pass through the door to start up yet another boring clip.This one is about what Sam and Frodo see in the mirror. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> u. + + + + + RIVER ANDUIN-ORC DAM + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Aragorn again...yay! Your quest here is to clear the area. More orc slaying- more yays! Follow the path until you meet a small band of orcs (or are they mountain men I canot tell). Anyway dispose of these and carry on. Presently you should come to a larger band of enemies but these aren't difficult either- until a mountain troll appears. But you easily outnumber the troll so it doesn't have time to put up much of a fight. There's not a lot else to tell you about this level apart from there's a bit more mountain man/orc and troll slaying. Follow the path to come to the next part of the game. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> v. + + + + +AMON HEN + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Sam is taken away by one of the Nazgul as he is mistaken for Frodo-you must rescue him. Follow the shoreline, killing all enemies along the way, until you come to a couple of angry mountain trolls. You must kill them on your own, this sounds daunting but just deal with them the same as the others. There's cram by the fire to help you. When you have killed these creatures head along the path to your left and you should see another troll break a boulder. Kill the troll, also there will be a few wild dogs- deal with these first. When the troll is dead head through the gap with it has created. You will be shot at by two archers. Take the one closest to the ground out with your sword. Kill the other one with your bow. To your right should be some stairs, go up them. Once at the top kill all the archers with your bow- Legolas will help you. When the are all dead drop down the ledge and you will be greeted by a troll. As the land is uneven I found the best way to kill the troll is with your bow. Follow the path, go through the archway and collect the lembas. Now follow the path over the bridge. Aragorn will tell Frodo to climb to the top while he holds off the orcs. You are now Frodo (sighs) climb to the top, OUTRUNNING not fighting the orcs. Take the path to the right and follow it. Take another path to your right, along this path you will climb numerous flights of stairs- don't forget to outrun the orcs. You will eventually come to a campfire, take the cram next to it and take the next flight of stairs. You will go over a bridge and take some longer flights. At the top you will be met by the Nazgul. Now you'd think you'd be fighting the Nazgul- wrong. You must climb up the mountain with Aragorn- this time taking out the orcs. Once you reach the top you can now fight the Nazgul >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> w. + + + + + THE LAST BATTLE-NAZGUL + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Here simply follow your instincts, avoid it's green breath and go and waste it with your sword. Don't stop hitting it until it takes flight, at which point Legolas will kill the beast with an amazing shot- not really after all it's just a game. Here, I have been informed that this happens very rarely on the game and here is the more frequent ending. when you first go to hit the beast, it will soon take flight. You must go to the cove or up the staircase and fire arrows at it when it swoops. Do this Legolas shoots it. I find this a really disappointing last boss and end to the game. I can't believe they make such an easy last boss.Though I have been informed that the Nazgul can take flight, in which case you must kill it with arrows. More on this at a later date. The game will end will Galadreil saying that the Fellowship has succeeded. And also with you sitting back and admiring your work as you watch the game credits. THE END >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 7. + + + + + BASIC ENEMIES + + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Giant spider- Expect to see this around woodland- Old Forest. These are fairly basic enemies. To kill this avoid it's attack that will knock you to the ground and hit it with your melee weapon. Alternatively use your projectile attack against them. Wild dogs- These look like black dog/rat thingys. You will come across them in barren lands such as- Amon Sul. Their attack will knock you to the floor and it sort of bites you. To kill this hit it to the ground and use the "finishing attack". Orcs- The most common enemy on the game. Carry swords and are not bad fighters. Their forms of attack are just basically sword fights. Though there are archer orcs but if you get close to them they cannot defend themselves. To kill them hit them about 3 or 4 times with your melee weapon. Use the "finishing attack" as this is useful. If you are with the character Gandalf use the firey blast attack and then administer the "finishing attack". Mountain Men- See Orcs. Trolls- These are big huge armored beasts. They will probably take about 10 hits to kill. Their forms of attack are to swing their club at you, or to try and hammer you into the ground…charming. The best way to kill these is by avoiding their attack and then going over and hitting them a few times. Alternatively you can stand at a distance and fire at them with your projectile attack. Again if you are with Gandalf Firey Blast deals damage here. These are seen in numerous areas of the game but mainly around the Mines of Moria. You may notce that some trolls have different amounts of armour usually ths doesn't affect the number of hits for a kill. Dead Barrow Wights (ghosts)- These unsurprisingly lurk in the Barrow Downs. They are often hard to see as they are camouflaged by the mist. There only form of attack is to hit you, though this doesn't sound very effective if they gang up on you your in trouble.The best way to deal with these is simply to hit them a few times until they …erm …die again I suppose. Wolves- See wild dogs. Though wolves have a lighter colour. Nazgul- Ringwraiths, Black Riders, Nazgul whatever you want to call them. These appear at various points in the game and each time you will be shown a clip. These cannot be killed until the last boss, which happens to be one. If they catch you they won't attack they will loom over you and say "surrender the ring", wielding a great big sword. Don't mess. Well the game doesn't go over board with the enemies which I think is ok- keep it simple. You will notice that I haven't included the bosses as they have been explained in the walkthrough. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 8. + + + + + GAME WEAPONS + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Frodo- Walking Stick-A stout finely carved wooden stick.This is the least effective weapon on the game.This is Frodo's pre-selected melee weapon at the start of the game Westernesse Dagger- The first weapon in the game which will actually cause damage. This weapon is found on the boss level Barrow Wight. Sting- Frodo's most advanced weapon.This is aquired as soon as you reach Rivendell. It is given to you by Bilbo Baggins. Stones-This is Frodo's projectile weapon.Not much to say about it apart from it cannot be upgraded. Aragorn- Long sword-This is Aragorn's pre selected melee weapon. Very affective, commonly used throughout middle earth. Anduril-(Flame of The West)The sword that was broken, the sword which was used to defeat Sauron.The most effective weapon on the game, you aquire this while in Rivendell. Wooden Arrows-Aragorn's projectile weapon. Commonly used throughout middle-earth. Gandalf- Glamdring- Forged by eleven smiths, is Gandalf's only melee weapon.About as effective as Aragorn's long-sword. Magic-See Character Config,Gandalf's magic section. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 9. + + + + + SAVING + + + + + <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Here I will suggest the times at whch to save.
