Hints
Defeating Lurtz
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, kick him. He will be knocked back, and
will stand for a few seconds, stunned. While he is stunned, 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 [Y]. Note:
This attack must first be purchased. Hold it until it is almost
fully charged, then release [Y]. 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.
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.
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.
Troll types
There are two types of Trolls in the game. The Forest
Troll has a light color and has little branches of trees to throw
at you. The Cave Troll is darker and does not carry branches.
You can shoot arrows into the Cave Troll, but not the Forest Troll.
Defeating enemies
If you are having problems killing some of the Berserkers,
Urk Hai, etc., try one of the following two tricks. First, let
the archers target you then run. Have another enemy between you
and the archer. The archer will now hit your opponent instead
of you. Second, allow a Troll to spot you and have it come towards
you. When it does, run on the other side of a group of enemies.
The Troll will knock them out of the way so it can get to you.
This can also be useful when you have to fight more than one Troll.
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.
Amon Hen: Kill more enemies
After you kill the Uruk-Hai that attack you in the
first part of the level (where all of your friends are fighting
with you), go down the path. If you are facing ahead, look to
your left and there are probably Orcs in that direction, running.
If you fire your arrows at them, you can usually kill them now,
and not later in the level.
Balin's Tomb: Defeating the Stone
Trolls
Rush in and fierce attack on of the Trolls. Depending
on your character, you can get up to two attacks in (Aragon and
Legolas). Then, jump back. This will put you out of the range
of its clubs. Note: One will just throw logs. After killing one
of the Trolls, your life will now probably be very low (in the
red or yellow). Return the way you came, back down the hill to
the point where the intermission sequence began. On one side,
you will see a second passage. Go into the passage and fierce
attack the vines. Note: If you do this before going into the Troll
battle, the vines will not break. Enter the little room. It looks
like the Trolls would be able to get you, but there is a wall.
Break the chest to get a full heal. Use it, then go back and kill
the second Troll.
Get in the middle of the two Trolls. When they swing at you, run
out of the way. They will hit each other instead of you.
When you have killed all the Orcs that drop from the roof, if
you have any arrows or axes remaining, throw charged ones at the
two Trolls. Make sure to dodge the sticks that they throw at you.
You will eventually kill them.
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"
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.
Gates Of Moria: Defeating The Watcher
When facing the Boss, it does not matter who you are
in this mission. Run into the water. The Watcher will raise its
tentacles out of the water. Parry to block the tentacle's strikes.
After being blocked, the tentacle will still remain out of the
water. Chop it off. The Watcher will then leave the water. Use
your arrows/throwing axes to hit it in the head region. Continue
to block the strikes from the tentacles. After every tentacle
you cut off, The Watcher will surface. He will usually die after
about five well-placed arrows.
Block the Watcher's arm swing. Then, its arm will wiggle in the
air. This your chance to attack it. Run up to the arm and use
you fast attack to cut its arm off. Its head will appear out of
the water for about five seconds. Before it goes back down, shoot
an arrow (if playing as Legolas or Aragorn) or throw axes (if
playing as Gimli) into the head. Do this repeatedly to defeat
it.
You will first see your partner get knocked out. Go out as far
as you can into the water. Block his attacks. When its tentacles
are sticking out of the water (not touching you), hack one off.
Its head will appear from the water. Shoot your arrows or axes
at its head. It should take five to six shots to the head to kill
it.
Note: Play as Gimli when facing the Watcher. When he raises his
tentacles, he will try to swing it at you. Use your parry to block
his arms. Afterwards, he will wiggle his arms up in the air. Go
up to his arm when it is in motion. Press [Y] to cut his
arm off. When that happens, his head will come out of the water.
Shoot his head with your axes or arrows. Repeat the process to
kill it.
Gates Of Moria: Extra experience
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 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
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.
points
When you get to the part where you have to shoot a
barrel open with your bow, then break the wood to set the people
free, look to the right . You will see a walkway, but fire will
be blocking your path. Enable the "Invincibility" code
ad walk though it. At the end will be a box. Note: Make sure you
save the people and kill the three Orcs first.
Immediately after Gandalf leaves after breaking the door at the
beginning of the level, go inside and rescue the Rohan citizens.
Once you have freed them, run to the back wall of the building.
Look to the left there to find an overturned table. Break the
table and proceed behind the counter. Another table will block
your path. Smash that table, and just beyond it there will be
a box. Break it open for experience points.
The easiest way to get experience points is to defeat the Boss
in this level. Every time you defeat him, you will gain a level
and a lot of experience points.
