Hints
Defeating Lurtz
Lurts starts by shooting arrows. As Aragorn, deflect them with your sword then fire a charged arrow at him. Keep repeating this until the intermission sequence where he grabs a sword from the ground begins. When he charges you, kill the minions that appear and try to hide behind one of the marble statues surrounding the arena. He will stab it, stick in, then be open for an attack. Use the [Triangle] thrust. Normally, two shots can be dealt and sometimes a third if you are lucky. Note: This is under the easy and normal difficulty setting. Also, when he rips his sword from the marble statue, it disintegrates, dropping health, arrows or other useful items.
When you get to the end of the Amon Hen mission, you will fight Lurtz. He will take out his bow and fire at you. Deflect the arrows, hide behind a statue, and use a projectile attack. Once he takes out his scimitar, try to get him to follow you to one of the statues. He will try to slash you, but his scimitar will go into the statue. While his scimitar is in the statue, fierce attack him as many times as possible. Another Uruk-Hai will try to help Lurtz kill you while his scimitar is stuck. Kill the Uruk-Hai while Lurtz is stuck.
When fighting Lurtz (at the end of Amon Hen), instead of trying to get his sword stuck in the marble statues, try the following trick. After you are done with the bow and you are swordfighting him, just fight him for a while by mostly parrying. Speed attack once in a while; if you do not, Lurtz will grab and trip you, which does a lot of damage. The attack will not do any damage because he will block it, but you must do it. After a while, he will stand back as if tired and you can use an attack combination. He will then attack you again. Repeat this until he is dead.
As soon as Lurtz picks up a sword, kill the one beast that comes at you and just block Lurtz's attacks. As soon as you see that you blocked an attack, press [Circle] to kick him. He will be knocked back, and will stand for a few seconds, stunned. While he is stunned, press [Triangle] to hit him with a fierce attack one time, then repeat. It is possible to defeat Lurtz without getting hit by doing this.
At the end of the Balin's Tomb level, purchase any special item that deals extra damage (for example, Ranger Fury or Elven Fury). When you fight Lurtz in the next level. get his scimitar stuck in a statue. Then, use the item you purchased (hold "Fierce Attack") instead of doing as many fierce attacks as possible. You may only get one shot in, but it will deal extra damage.
When Lurtz is stuck in one of the statues, hold [Triangle]. Note: This attack must first be purchased. Hold it until it is almost fully charged, then release [Triangle]. After doing this two or three times, Lurtz will be defeated.
When Lurtz is stuck in one of the statues, hold [Triangle]. Note: This attack must first be purchased. Hold it until it is almost fully charged, then release [Triangle]. After doing this two or three times, Lurtz will be defeated.
A good way is to get Lurtz's sword to become stuck in a statue is after the bow sequence. The first time he is stuck, kill off his allies and start running. On the second time, use a swift attack such as Islidor's or Elrond's Swift Attack and your sword will start to glow. Hit him once more if possible, then start running. The next time he gets stuck, do the same thing and you will get a Perfect kill on him.
Purchase the [X]x2, [Triangle] attack. Let Lurtz fire one arrow. Hide behind a statue then start shooting yours. Defeat the minion first then hide behind a statue. He will get his sword stuck. Press [X]x2, [Triangle] on him and you should enter Perfect mode. Hide behind a statue again. Press [X]x2, [Triangle] to kill him and get a "Perfect".
Defeating the Orc Overseer riding the Warg
Take care of the Wargs and riders that are present when the battle starts. The Wargs charge, but just step out of the way. Fierce Attack as they pass and stop. Soon, you will be facing just the Orc Overseer on his Warg, who deflects every arrow with his sword. Close attacks are similarly foiled by the Warg biting you, lifting you into the air, and the Overseer slashes at you. He also charges, and the Warg swerves to hit you, and succeeds virtually every time, so take care of him as soon as possible. The Overseer regularly calls another Orc and Warg into the battle. Dispatch it in the same way as the others, but try to stay close to the Overseer. When you kill the summoned Orc and Warg, the Overseer's Warg rears up. When it does, run in behind it and Fierce Attack the Orc. You can usually get three good hits on him this way. After the third hit, he will slash you -- go back and wait for the next Orc and Warg to be summoned. Dispatch them and wait for the Overseer's Warg to rear again. Repeat this three to four times to defeat him.
When you first encounter the Orc Overseer, he will have approximately four other Warg Riders with him. Dispatch these using any means necessary (projectile attacks work well), then get ready for the Overseer himself. Do not get too close or the Warg will bite you and the Orc riding it will slash you. Stay a safe distance away and the Overseer will charge. Parry the charge and you will receive little, if any, damage. Successfully parry a second charge and the Warg will back away and rear up on its hind legs. Move in and use any of the attack combinations to cause damage. Occasionally the Overseer will call in another Warg to help. Fire projectiles at this "helper" to eliminate it. Continue to parry the Overseer's charges. It will rear up after every second charge, at which time you can move in and eliminate him.
When you first see the Orc Overeseer, he will have about four other allies with him. These are easy to kill. Do so, and you will face the Orc Overseer. You cannot shoot him, because he deflects your arrows/axes, and you cannot attack him because his Warg will bite and lift you into the air for the Orc Overseer to slash. He will charge at you. Parry those attacks. After about two charges, he will rear his Warg. Instead of going behind at this point, shoot it with an axe/arrow. It will fall and whine. Then, move in and slash the overseer with fierce attacks, combos, etc. This takes about half of his life away. He will send in a warg ally, which is useful. Whenever you kill him, he will drop arrows or life. Repeat this process until you win.
Shoot his Warg when he rears up, then attack the Overseer while he is stunned.
You must first defeat the four other Warg Riders. To do this, dodge the charging Wargs. When they miss, they will stop. This is your chance to attack. When the Overseer charges, you cannot dodge because he swerves and hits you. You cannot hit him while charging -- he will just grab your leg and hit you. When fighting the Boss, wait in the water for him to lift up in the air. He will do this after three charges. After the third charge, run up to the middle area (but not up to him). Then, ready a throwing axe or bow. When he lifts in the air, fire. It will daze him. While he is dazed, run up and hit him with one or two fierce attacks. Do this several times to defeat him.
Stay close to the rider. He will call on other riders occasionally. Shoot the new riders with arrows or throwing axes. When the Warg charges you, make sure you are facing towards either side of the screen. Just before the rider gets to you, press [L2] to jump back. There is a good chance that the rider will miss you. When the original Warg rider rears up, shoot the Warg. The Warg will stumble around for a little while. During this time, run up behind the rider and use the double-fierce attack. It is possible to get up to six fierce attacks in if you get behind the Warg quickly. Doing this twice should result in a victory.
To dodge when the Warg Overseers charge, wait until he gets very close then press [L2]. Your character should jump back and dodge his attacks.
To avoid taking damage from this Boss, press "Parry" repeatedly until the Warg charges you. Although you will still get knocked over, you will not take any damage.
Use the following trick to avoid being hit when fighting the Orc Overseer riding the Warg. After you dispatch the Overseer's allies, the Overseer will try to mostly charge you. Go back and stand in the water, the Overseer will not come near you. When he charges, he turns back around and goes to the opposite side of the battlefield. Once he goes back, he will call for another ally. You can take him out easily with a ranged attack. After that, the Warg will leave himself open to an attack with a ranged weapon. Shoot an arrow or throw an axe. As soon as you release the projectile, run towards the Orc. By the time you get there, the Warg will be stunned and you can attack the Orc, draining his life dramatically. Ranged weapons will not work against him, except for when they are used to stun. Be careful -- if you are too close to the shoreline he will still be able to hit you with the charge. Also, make sure you take out his allies when he summons them with a ranged attack. They can come into the water after you.
Defeating Trolls
In the levels with Trolls, you can kill them easily without getting hit once. Run up to a Troll after it has thrown a log at you or tried to hit you. Press [Triangle] once only, then run away. Do not run too far. Stay close, but not too close for it to hit you. Wait until it takes a swipe at you, then run back at it and press [Triangle] once again. Repeat this until it is dead.
Run up to a Troll and use your fierce attack. When he is about to hit you, jump back ([L2]). Continue this to defeat it.
Wait for a troll to approach you. While you wait, hold [Triangle] and let your sword (if playing as Aragorn) or axe (if playing as Gimli) charge. This power-up is the one where the weapon catches on fire, and is one of the last upgrades you can get. When the troll approaches, release [Triangle]. If the attack is well placed, it should kill the troll instantly. The same can be done for Berserkers.
When battling Trolls, first rush in and fierce attack. Depending on your character, you can get up to two attacks in (Aragon and Legolas). Then, press [L2] to jump back. This will put you out of the range of their clubs. This works well against the Cave Troll in Moria. but can fail against the two Forest Trolls in Fangorn because one will just throw logs.
During the Secret Mission, play as any character and use devastating attacks. Go near the Troll and hold [Triangle] until your character stops, then attack.
Run up to a Troll and use your force attack once, then press [Square] quickly after the attack.
At a long distance, shoot arrows until they run out. At a short distance, press [Triangle] (fierce attack) once when close, then run. Wait until it swings, then do it again repeatedly until it dies.
Often when you fight a Troll, it either hits you before you run away or it takes a seemingly endless time for it to go down. Use this trick to kill Trolls swiftly and easily. Run up to the Troll and tap [Triangle] only once. This should bring your weapon on an upstroke to hit the Troll. Then, let your character finish the upstroke, then quickly tap [Triangle] again. This should repeatedly make the character do an attack on the Troll while stunning it long enough to do the attack again. You can now eliminate the Troll without it ever getting to swing at you.
The easiest way to defeat a troll is to hit them with the [X]x2, [Triangle] attack. This will turn you weapon blue, and you will be able to do stronger moves. You can also enable the "Restore health" code when low.
It is possible to kill a Forest Troll with arrows as Legolas. Wait until they swing at you, then run around behind them. Shoot and hit them with an arrow. It only takes about three arrows to kill it.
When killing Forest or Cave Trolls as Legolas, make sure to have purchased either the level 6 or 8 arrows. With these, simply shoot it once in the face and let it burn. This also works on the Urik-Hai without the armor and big sword.
Defeating Uruk Hai
The strongest Uruk Hai have a sword, no armor, and have only white on their faces. Shooting them with arrows and setting them on fire works well.
To kill the armored Uruk Hai in one attack and get an usually get an "Excellent", press [Triangle]x2, [R2].
When a strong Uruk-Hai approaches you, use your "Bane Of Sarumon" attack to easily it in one move.
To defeat the hardest type of Uruk-Hai, with white face and no armor, attack him, allowing yourself to be knocked down. You will get some damage, but not much. Then, do a Rising Fierce Attack ([Triangle]) while knocked down. That should knock him down if he is near to you. When he is down, do your killing move to defeat him. This should just give you a "Good" kill.
When you are in a level with one of the strongest Urak-Hai, wait until the three slash attack. When it does that, at the end it will stop for a moment and not swing at you. This is your chance to hit it two (as Gimli) or three times (as Aragorn or Legolas).
Amon Hen: Secret area
When you are near the place where you meet your friends again, just when you are going down the stairs you can see a bunch of vine covering a hole. Slash it to find a Tome for experience points.
Amon Hen: Extra experience points
At the start of the level there will be a concrete structure in the background. Go under it and up the steps to find a secret box. Another place to find a secret box is at the part where there will be an archer on top of a concrete "doorway". Go around the side of it to find a walkway going up. The box will be there.
When playing as Gimli, instead of fighting all of the Uruk-Hai at the ruins near the end then losing all of your skill meter when you join your companions, skip through this fight. You may have to use a speed attack or two to pass through. At the last fight on the bridge, there will be at least double the amount of Uruk-Hai. This trick is best for Gimli because he is slow and his weapon kills very fast, he cannot build up his skill meter unless there are a lot of enemies at once. Do not attempt this if he is at a low level.
Amon Hen: Defeating Uruk-Hai
Run through and get lots of Uruk-Hai to follow you. Stop where the bombers surround you with fire bombs. Get behind the rock and fight some Uruk-Hai, and the rest will burn when the bombers try to hit you.
When fighting the head Uruk-Hai, if you run out of attacks you can block, kick him, then attack him. Do this until he is dead.
Troll
Once you enter the mines of Moria, waves of trolls will file through the door. Fight these off until a short intermission starts and the Stone Troll appears. The best way to defeat him is to dodge his attacks and fire when you can. After the Stone Troll has taken some damage, another short intermission will begin. You will find yourself on a ledge lined with pillars between you and the Stone Troll. The troll now attacks with a chain. It only takes two to three hits to kill you. Hide behind the pillars when the troll swings his chain at you. You will see dust fly from the pillars when he hits it. Jump out and fire as many arrows as you can at him. There are more arrows to the far right of the ledge. Every now and then, a goblin will appear on the ledge. One fierce attack usually takes care of them.
At first you will just have to fight a group of Orcs. These should not be too difficult. Keep killing them until there is an intermission sequence in which the Stone Troll appears. If you are low on health, stay away from the Stone Troll and keep killing Orcs. Some of them will have green potions. When you have good health, wait until the Stone Troll finishes an attack, then go up to his stomach and keep using your fierce attack. Do not go away -- press the D-Pad towards him so you do not get too far away and thus allow him to hit you. After awhile, you will see an intermission sequence where you have to go up on the ledge while he uses his chains. It is best to have Aragorn or Legolas on this stage because of this section. At first, kill the Orc to your left. Then, run back and forth across this ledge. When he uses his chains, he will miss you, then remain still for a moment. When this happens, you should be able to get about three arrows out on him. If you run low on arrows, the far right side of the ledge has some. If you run low on health, dodge the chains and wait until the second or third Orc attacks you. One of them will have a green potion.
Fangorn Forest: Defeating the Forest Fangorn Forest: Defeating the Orcs
After you defeat the first Forest Troll, you will have to break a barrier. An intermission sequence featuring Orcs and other enemies throwing a Goblin into a pit. Your character will walk out, and game play will resume. Do not walk forward yet. Instead, pull out your bow and arrow and hit one of the Orcs with two curved swords and no shield. If your arrow is powerful enough, it will kill that one, but all of the Orcs will come after you. Watch out for the Orcs with no shield. They do a spinning technique that can hurt you badly and knocks you down. Then, they all start attacking you. Try to block that spinning attack.
Fangorn Forest: Ent
Proceed through the level until you get to the part where you fight people in the water. Kill the archers, then the Orcs that pop out of the water. After that, walk a little way in the water. Watch the water to your right. If you are going in the correct direction, it will be on the right. Keep looking until you see a reflection of a tree. Look closely at it to see Treebeard's reflection.
At the beginning of the level, walk until you see a log. Go near it, but not next to it so that it changes the camera angle. You can see an Ent in the background.
At the very end of the level when the intermission sequence with Gandalf appears, before it turns into the film look closely and you will see many arms. Look even closer and you will see lots of Ents.
At the end of the level, look in the background behind the characters during the FMV sequence. You can clearly see Treebeard.
When you are about the crash the log that is in your way, stand still. When you are far away from your character, you will see a figure standing directly behind you. Also, you can see the Ent when Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn meet up. The Ent is behind Gimli.
Fanghorn Forest: Easy "Excellent" ranks
At the part where the Orcs throw the small Goblin into the pit, you can run up to one of them and kick him into the pit to get an "Excellent". Immediately after you defeat all of them, go to the river. After defeating the Orc with the shield, you can kick the Orcs shooting the arrows at you off the edge of the waterfall for more "Excellents".
Gap Of Rohan: Extra experience points
After killing the first two Wargs with your companions, do not go on just yet. Go to all the barrels and smash them. You should find experience points in two of them.
Start by killing the two Wargs, then smash the barrel in front of the burning house with a quick attack for extra experience. Then go, kill the Boss and his cronies. After this is done, at least one or two levels will be gained.
points
When you first get control of your character, run towards the edge of the cliff. Near the edge of the cliff will be a large rock. Next to the rock is what appears to be a box encased in a big block of ice. Fierce Attack the object to break the ice and reveal a secret box. Smash the box for experience points.
At the beginning of the level, there should be two rocks on the edge of the cliff in front of you. Smash them with a fierce attack to reveal a treasure chest.
Helm's Deep: The Breached Wall
At the start, your chosen character will be shown closing the door, and you must protect it. There is a meter in the upper right corner of the screen. It is best to use Legolas for this level. At first, all you have to do is shoot down Orcs with explosives. Once they are hit, they will explode. Do not hit them close to the door. After awhile, regular Orcs and Uruk Hai will start entering and slashing at the wall. Try to explode the dynamite Orcs by the Orcs that run in. Destroy all of them, and also keep the suicidal Orcs back. If you have too many Orcs by the door, and the door has a lot of health, you can blow up a suicidal Orc by them -- it will kill them all. After a bit, a Troll will appear and try to hit door. You have to keep the exploding Orcs back also. Once the Troll is killed, and a couple more Orcs appear, a huge catapult will enter. Run up to it, and kill the Orcs guarding it. Then, hit it. It is best to use Elven Fury (hold [Triangle], then release) to hit it. You can hit it about four times, then you will have to go to the other side -- always check to see if you are actually doing damage.
Extra help
When Legolas or Aragorn cries out for help, depending which character you are and you have saved them, stay up there and fight off the Orcs. Notice that there are Rohan soldiers fighting along with you. When they die, and you get overwhelmed, return to the area where you saved your comrade. Then, go back to the area where you were fighting. There will be multiple Rohan soldiers fighting along side with you. This can be done more than once.
Helm's Deep: Hornburg Courtyard: Helm's Deep: The Deeping Wall
This level, although appearing simple, is actually quite difficult. When you begin, a certain amount of ladders will be up against the wall. Knock them down by pressing [Circle]. The diagram of the wall in the top right corner of the screen shows where the ladders are located. Soon, a large amount of Orcs will gain access to the wall. Eliminating the Orcs is a key to completing the level, but knocking down the ladders is still a major priority. An intermission sequence will follow, with enemy archers firing at the wall. After this, even more Orcs will pour in and ladders will go up more quickly. Continue to knock down the ladders, killing as many Orcs as possible. Another intermission sequence will have a catapult launching rocks at the wall. By this time, giant armored Uruk Hai will be present. Killing these armored behemoths is a must, but make sure you still knock down the ladders. Keep the meter in the yellow area and you should be all right. If it begins to flash red and white, the mission will fail.
The easiest way to complete this level is to knock down the ladders. Only concentrate on the ladders on the right hand side and in the center, not the left. This is to avoid getting caught up in the killing fiasco. When you are only knocking down the ladders in the center and right hand side of the wall, you can go back and forth, hitting them down. Only kill the Orcs in your way, not the orcs killing the other men, but the ones killing you. Even if they are trying to attack you, just run away. The other men will take care of them. There is a quick and easy way to remember when it will end. It usually takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes to have the sequence with the Orc archers firing the arrows. Then, it takes another 30 seconds to 3 minutes for the catapult sequence to happen. After that, when you hear a single horn blowing, indicating that it will end.
Helm's Deep: The Deeping Wall: Easy Trolls
At the last part of the Helm's Deep level, use the following steps to get the two Forest Trolls to appear so that you can complete the level. When you hear someone yell "Archers on the wall", go up the steps and shoot arrows at the other wall in the distance. Run up and down the wall to make sure you get them all.
Lurts starts by shooting arrows. As Aragorn, deflect them with your sword then fire a charged arrow at him. Keep repeating this until the intermission sequence where he grabs a sword from the ground begins. When he charges you, kill the minions that appear and try to hide behind one of the marble statues surrounding the arena. He will stab it, stick in, then be open for an attack. Use the [Triangle] thrust. Normally, two shots can be dealt and sometimes a third if you are lucky. Note: This is under the easy and normal difficulty setting. Also, when he rips his sword from the marble statue, it disintegrates, dropping health, arrows or other useful items.
When you get to the end of the Amon Hen mission, you will fight Lurtz. He will take out his bow and fire at you. Deflect the arrows, hide behind a statue, and use a projectile attack. Once he takes out his scimitar, try to get him to follow you to one of the statues. He will try to slash you, but his scimitar will go into the statue. While his scimitar is in the statue, fierce attack him as many times as possible. Another Uruk-Hai will try to help Lurtz kill you while his scimitar is stuck. Kill the Uruk-Hai while Lurtz is stuck.
When fighting Lurtz (at the end of Amon Hen), instead of trying to get his sword stuck in the marble statues, try the following trick. After you are done with the bow and you are swordfighting him, just fight him for a while by mostly parrying. Speed attack once in a while; if you do not, Lurtz will grab and trip you, which does a lot of damage. The attack will not do any damage because he will block it, but you must do it. After a while, he will stand back as if tired and you can use an attack combination. He will then attack you again. Repeat this until he is dead.
As soon as Lurtz picks up a sword, kill the one beast that comes at you and just block Lurtz's attacks. As soon as you see that you blocked an attack, press [Circle] to kick him. He will be knocked back, and will stand for a few seconds, stunned. While he is stunned, press [Triangle] to hit him with a fierce attack one time, then repeat. It is possible to defeat Lurtz without getting hit by doing this.
At the end of the Balin's Tomb level, purchase any special item that deals extra damage (for example, Ranger Fury or Elven Fury). When you fight Lurtz in the next level. get his scimitar stuck in a statue. Then, use the item you purchased (hold "Fierce Attack") instead of doing as many fierce attacks as possible. You may only get one shot in, but it will deal extra damage.
When Lurtz is stuck in one of the statues, hold [Triangle]. Note: This attack must first be purchased. Hold it until it is almost fully charged, then release [Triangle]. After doing this two or three times, Lurtz will be defeated.
When Lurtz is stuck in one of the statues, hold [Triangle]. Note: This attack must first be purchased. Hold it until it is almost fully charged, then release [Triangle]. After doing this two or three times, Lurtz will be defeated.
A good way is to get Lurtz's sword to become stuck in a statue is after the bow sequence. The first time he is stuck, kill off his allies and start running. On the second time, use a swift attack such as Islidor's or Elrond's Swift Attack and your sword will start to glow. Hit him once more if possible, then start running. The next time he gets stuck, do the same thing and you will get a Perfect kill on him.
Purchase the [X]x2, [Triangle] attack. Let Lurtz fire one arrow. Hide behind a statue then start shooting yours. Defeat the minion first then hide behind a statue. He will get his sword stuck. Press [X]x2, [Triangle] on him and you should enter Perfect mode. Hide behind a statue again. Press [X]x2, [Triangle] to kill him and get a "Perfect".
Defeating the Orc Overseer riding the Warg
Take care of the Wargs and riders that are present when the battle starts. The Wargs charge, but just step out of the way. Fierce Attack as they pass and stop. Soon, you will be facing just the Orc Overseer on his Warg, who deflects every arrow with his sword. Close attacks are similarly foiled by the Warg biting you, lifting you into the air, and the Overseer slashes at you. He also charges, and the Warg swerves to hit you, and succeeds virtually every time, so take care of him as soon as possible. The Overseer regularly calls another Orc and Warg into the battle. Dispatch it in the same way as the others, but try to stay close to the Overseer. When you kill the summoned Orc and Warg, the Overseer's Warg rears up. When it does, run in behind it and Fierce Attack the Orc. You can usually get three good hits on him this way. After the third hit, he will slash you -- go back and wait for the next Orc and Warg to be summoned. Dispatch them and wait for the Overseer's Warg to rear again. Repeat this three to four times to defeat him.
When you first encounter the Orc Overseer, he will have approximately four other Warg Riders with him. Dispatch these using any means necessary (projectile attacks work well), then get ready for the Overseer himself. Do not get too close or the Warg will bite you and the Orc riding it will slash you. Stay a safe distance away and the Overseer will charge. Parry the charge and you will receive little, if any, damage. Successfully parry a second charge and the Warg will back away and rear up on its hind legs. Move in and use any of the attack combinations to cause damage. Occasionally the Overseer will call in another Warg to help. Fire projectiles at this "helper" to eliminate it. Continue to parry the Overseer's charges. It will rear up after every second charge, at which time you can move in and eliminate him.
When you first see the Orc Overeseer, he will have about four other allies with him. These are easy to kill. Do so, and you will face the Orc Overseer. You cannot shoot him, because he deflects your arrows/axes, and you cannot attack him because his Warg will bite and lift you into the air for the Orc Overseer to slash. He will charge at you. Parry those attacks. After about two charges, he will rear his Warg. Instead of going behind at this point, shoot it with an axe/arrow. It will fall and whine. Then, move in and slash the overseer with fierce attacks, combos, etc. This takes about half of his life away. He will send in a warg ally, which is useful. Whenever you kill him, he will drop arrows or life. Repeat this process until you win.
Shoot his Warg when he rears up, then attack the Overseer while he is stunned.
You must first defeat the four other Warg Riders. To do this, dodge the charging Wargs. When they miss, they will stop. This is your chance to attack. When the Overseer charges, you cannot dodge because he swerves and hits you. You cannot hit him while charging -- he will just grab your leg and hit you. When fighting the Boss, wait in the water for him to lift up in the air. He will do this after three charges. After the third charge, run up to the middle area (but not up to him). Then, ready a throwing axe or bow. When he lifts in the air, fire. It will daze him. While he is dazed, run up and hit him with one or two fierce attacks. Do this several times to defeat him.
Stay close to the rider. He will call on other riders occasionally. Shoot the new riders with arrows or throwing axes. When the Warg charges you, make sure you are facing towards either side of the screen. Just before the rider gets to you, press [L2] to jump back. There is a good chance that the rider will miss you. When the original Warg rider rears up, shoot the Warg. The Warg will stumble around for a little while. During this time, run up behind the rider and use the double-fierce attack. It is possible to get up to six fierce attacks in if you get behind the Warg quickly. Doing this twice should result in a victory.
To dodge when the Warg Overseers charge, wait until he gets very close then press [L2]. Your character should jump back and dodge his attacks.
To avoid taking damage from this Boss, press "Parry" repeatedly until the Warg charges you. Although you will still get knocked over, you will not take any damage.
Use the following trick to avoid being hit when fighting the Orc Overseer riding the Warg. After you dispatch the Overseer's allies, the Overseer will try to mostly charge you. Go back and stand in the water, the Overseer will not come near you. When he charges, he turns back around and goes to the opposite side of the battlefield. Once he goes back, he will call for another ally. You can take him out easily with a ranged attack. After that, the Warg will leave himself open to an attack with a ranged weapon. Shoot an arrow or throw an axe. As soon as you release the projectile, run towards the Orc. By the time you get there, the Warg will be stunned and you can attack the Orc, draining his life dramatically. Ranged weapons will not work against him, except for when they are used to stun. Be careful -- if you are too close to the shoreline he will still be able to hit you with the charge. Also, make sure you take out his allies when he summons them with a ranged attack. They can come into the water after you.
Defeating Trolls
In the levels with Trolls, you can kill them easily without getting hit once. Run up to a Troll after it has thrown a log at you or tried to hit you. Press [Triangle] once only, then run away. Do not run too far. Stay close, but not too close for it to hit you. Wait until it takes a swipe at you, then run back at it and press [Triangle] once again. Repeat this until it is dead.
Run up to a Troll and use your fierce attack. When he is about to hit you, jump back ([L2]). Continue this to defeat it.
Wait for a troll to approach you. While you wait, hold [Triangle] and let your sword (if playing as Aragorn) or axe (if playing as Gimli) charge. This power-up is the one where the weapon catches on fire, and is one of the last upgrades you can get. When the troll approaches, release [Triangle]. If the attack is well placed, it should kill the troll instantly. The same can be done for Berserkers.
When battling Trolls, first rush in and fierce attack. Depending on your character, you can get up to two attacks in (Aragon and Legolas). Then, press [L2] to jump back. This will put you out of the range of their clubs. This works well against the Cave Troll in Moria. but can fail against the two Forest Trolls in Fangorn because one will just throw logs.
During the Secret Mission, play as any character and use devastating attacks. Go near the Troll and hold [Triangle] until your character stops, then attack.
Run up to a Troll and use your force attack once, then press [Square] quickly after the attack.
At a long distance, shoot arrows until they run out. At a short distance, press [Triangle] (fierce attack) once when close, then run. Wait until it swings, then do it again repeatedly until it dies.
Often when you fight a Troll, it either hits you before you run away or it takes a seemingly endless time for it to go down. Use this trick to kill Trolls swiftly and easily. Run up to the Troll and tap [Triangle] only once. This should bring your weapon on an upstroke to hit the Troll. Then, let your character finish the upstroke, then quickly tap [Triangle] again. This should repeatedly make the character do an attack on the Troll while stunning it long enough to do the attack again. You can now eliminate the Troll without it ever getting to swing at you.
The easiest way to defeat a troll is to hit them with the [X]x2, [Triangle] attack. This will turn you weapon blue, and you will be able to do stronger moves. You can also enable the "Restore health" code when low.
It is possible to kill a Forest Troll with arrows as Legolas. Wait until they swing at you, then run around behind them. Shoot and hit them with an arrow. It only takes about three arrows to kill it.
When killing Forest or Cave Trolls as Legolas, make sure to have purchased either the level 6 or 8 arrows. With these, simply shoot it once in the face and let it burn. This also works on the Urik-Hai without the armor and big sword.
Defeating Uruk Hai
The strongest Uruk Hai have a sword, no armor, and have only white on their faces. Shooting them with arrows and setting them on fire works well.
To kill the armored Uruk Hai in one attack and get an usually get an "Excellent", press [Triangle]x2, [R2].
When a strong Uruk-Hai approaches you, use your "Bane Of Sarumon" attack to easily it in one move.
To defeat the hardest type of Uruk-Hai, with white face and no armor, attack him, allowing yourself to be knocked down. You will get some damage, but not much. Then, do a Rising Fierce Attack ([Triangle]) while knocked down. That should knock him down if he is near to you. When he is down, do your killing move to defeat him. This should just give you a "Good" kill.
When you are in a level with one of the strongest Urak-Hai, wait until the three slash attack. When it does that, at the end it will stop for a moment and not swing at you. This is your chance to hit it two (as Gimli) or three times (as Aragorn or Legolas).
Amon Hen: Secret area
When you are near the place where you meet your friends again, just when you are going down the stairs you can see a bunch of vine covering a hole. Slash it to find a Tome for experience points.
Amon Hen: Extra experience points
At the start of the level there will be a concrete structure in the background. Go under it and up the steps to find a secret box. Another place to find a secret box is at the part where there will be an archer on top of a concrete "doorway". Go around the side of it to find a walkway going up. The box will be there.
When playing as Gimli, instead of fighting all of the Uruk-Hai at the ruins near the end then losing all of your skill meter when you join your companions, skip through this fight. You may have to use a speed attack or two to pass through. At the last fight on the bridge, there will be at least double the amount of Uruk-Hai. This trick is best for Gimli because he is slow and his weapon kills very fast, he cannot build up his skill meter unless there are a lot of enemies at once. Do not attempt this if he is at a low level.
Amon Hen: Defeating Uruk-Hai
Run through and get lots of Uruk-Hai to follow you. Stop where the bombers surround you with fire bombs. Get behind the rock and fight some Uruk-Hai, and the rest will burn when the bombers try to hit you.
When fighting the head Uruk-Hai, if you run out of attacks you can block, kick him, then attack him. Do this until he is dead.
Troll
Once you enter the mines of Moria, waves of trolls will file through the door. Fight these off until a short intermission starts and the Stone Troll appears. The best way to defeat him is to dodge his attacks and fire when you can. After the Stone Troll has taken some damage, another short intermission will begin. You will find yourself on a ledge lined with pillars between you and the Stone Troll. The troll now attacks with a chain. It only takes two to three hits to kill you. Hide behind the pillars when the troll swings his chain at you. You will see dust fly from the pillars when he hits it. Jump out and fire as many arrows as you can at him. There are more arrows to the far right of the ledge. Every now and then, a goblin will appear on the ledge. One fierce attack usually takes care of them.
At first you will just have to fight a group of Orcs. These should not be too difficult. Keep killing them until there is an intermission sequence in which the Stone Troll appears. If you are low on health, stay away from the Stone Troll and keep killing Orcs. Some of them will have green potions. When you have good health, wait until the Stone Troll finishes an attack, then go up to his stomach and keep using your fierce attack. Do not go away -- press the D-Pad towards him so you do not get too far away and thus allow him to hit you. After awhile, you will see an intermission sequence where you have to go up on the ledge while he uses his chains. It is best to have Aragorn or Legolas on this stage because of this section. At first, kill the Orc to your left. Then, run back and forth across this ledge. When he uses his chains, he will miss you, then remain still for a moment. When this happens, you should be able to get about three arrows out on him. If you run low on arrows, the far right side of the ledge has some. If you run low on health, dodge the chains and wait until the second or third Orc attacks you. One of them will have a green potion.
Fangorn Forest: Defeating the Forest Fangorn Forest: Defeating the Orcs
After you defeat the first Forest Troll, you will have to break a barrier. An intermission sequence featuring Orcs and other enemies throwing a Goblin into a pit. Your character will walk out, and game play will resume. Do not walk forward yet. Instead, pull out your bow and arrow and hit one of the Orcs with two curved swords and no shield. If your arrow is powerful enough, it will kill that one, but all of the Orcs will come after you. Watch out for the Orcs with no shield. They do a spinning technique that can hurt you badly and knocks you down. Then, they all start attacking you. Try to block that spinning attack.
Fangorn Forest: Ent
Proceed through the level until you get to the part where you fight people in the water. Kill the archers, then the Orcs that pop out of the water. After that, walk a little way in the water. Watch the water to your right. If you are going in the correct direction, it will be on the right. Keep looking until you see a reflection of a tree. Look closely at it to see Treebeard's reflection.
At the beginning of the level, walk until you see a log. Go near it, but not next to it so that it changes the camera angle. You can see an Ent in the background.
At the very end of the level when the intermission sequence with Gandalf appears, before it turns into the film look closely and you will see many arms. Look even closer and you will see lots of Ents.
At the end of the level, look in the background behind the characters during the FMV sequence. You can clearly see Treebeard.
When you are about the crash the log that is in your way, stand still. When you are far away from your character, you will see a figure standing directly behind you. Also, you can see the Ent when Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn meet up. The Ent is behind Gimli.
Fanghorn Forest: Easy "Excellent" ranks
At the part where the Orcs throw the small Goblin into the pit, you can run up to one of them and kick him into the pit to get an "Excellent". Immediately after you defeat all of them, go to the river. After defeating the Orc with the shield, you can kick the Orcs shooting the arrows at you off the edge of the waterfall for more "Excellents".
Gap Of Rohan: Extra experience points
After killing the first two Wargs with your companions, do not go on just yet. Go to all the barrels and smash them. You should find experience points in two of them.
Start by killing the two Wargs, then smash the barrel in front of the burning house with a quick attack for extra experience. Then go, kill the Boss and his cronies. After this is done, at least one or two levels will be gained.
points
When you first get control of your character, run towards the edge of the cliff. Near the edge of the cliff will be a large rock. Next to the rock is what appears to be a box encased in a big block of ice. Fierce Attack the object to break the ice and reveal a secret box. Smash the box for experience points.
At the beginning of the level, there should be two rocks on the edge of the cliff in front of you. Smash them with a fierce attack to reveal a treasure chest.
Helm's Deep: The Breached Wall
At the start, your chosen character will be shown closing the door, and you must protect it. There is a meter in the upper right corner of the screen. It is best to use Legolas for this level. At first, all you have to do is shoot down Orcs with explosives. Once they are hit, they will explode. Do not hit them close to the door. After awhile, regular Orcs and Uruk Hai will start entering and slashing at the wall. Try to explode the dynamite Orcs by the Orcs that run in. Destroy all of them, and also keep the suicidal Orcs back. If you have too many Orcs by the door, and the door has a lot of health, you can blow up a suicidal Orc by them -- it will kill them all. After a bit, a Troll will appear and try to hit door. You have to keep the exploding Orcs back also. Once the Troll is killed, and a couple more Orcs appear, a huge catapult will enter. Run up to it, and kill the Orcs guarding it. Then, hit it. It is best to use Elven Fury (hold [Triangle], then release) to hit it. You can hit it about four times, then you will have to go to the other side -- always check to see if you are actually doing damage.
Extra help
When Legolas or Aragorn cries out for help, depending which character you are and you have saved them, stay up there and fight off the Orcs. Notice that there are Rohan soldiers fighting along with you. When they die, and you get overwhelmed, return to the area where you saved your comrade. Then, go back to the area where you were fighting. There will be multiple Rohan soldiers fighting along side with you. This can be done more than once.
Helm's Deep: Hornburg Courtyard: Helm's Deep: The Deeping Wall
This level, although appearing simple, is actually quite difficult. When you begin, a certain amount of ladders will be up against the wall. Knock them down by pressing [Circle]. The diagram of the wall in the top right corner of the screen shows where the ladders are located. Soon, a large amount of Orcs will gain access to the wall. Eliminating the Orcs is a key to completing the level, but knocking down the ladders is still a major priority. An intermission sequence will follow, with enemy archers firing at the wall. After this, even more Orcs will pour in and ladders will go up more quickly. Continue to knock down the ladders, killing as many Orcs as possible. Another intermission sequence will have a catapult launching rocks at the wall. By this time, giant armored Uruk Hai will be present. Killing these armored behemoths is a must, but make sure you still knock down the ladders. Keep the meter in the yellow area and you should be all right. If it begins to flash red and white, the mission will fail.
The easiest way to complete this level is to knock down the ladders. Only concentrate on the ladders on the right hand side and in the center, not the left. This is to avoid getting caught up in the killing fiasco. When you are only knocking down the ladders in the center and right hand side of the wall, you can go back and forth, hitting them down. Only kill the Orcs in your way, not the orcs killing the other men, but the ones killing you. Even if they are trying to attack you, just run away. The other men will take care of them. There is a quick and easy way to remember when it will end. It usually takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes to have the sequence with the Orc archers firing the arrows. Then, it takes another 30 seconds to 3 minutes for the catapult sequence to happen. After that, when you hear a single horn blowing, indicating that it will end.
Helm's Deep: The Deeping Wall: Easy Trolls
At the last part of the Helm's Deep level, use the following steps to get the two Forest Trolls to appear so that you can complete the level. When you hear someone yell "Archers on the wall", go up the steps and shoot arrows at the other wall in the distance. Run up and down the wall to make sure you get them all.
