Hints & Tips

Beating Trolls
Just run up to a Troll and use your fierce attack. When he is about to hit you, jump back. Keep doing this to beat it.

When you fight a Troll, it either hits you before you run away or it takes a endless time for it to go down. Use this trick to kill Trolls fast and easily. Run up to the Troll and tap Fierce Attack once. This should bring your weapon on an upstroke to hit the Troll. Then, let your character finish the upstroke, then swiftly tap Fierce Attack again. This should continualy make the character do an attack on the Troll while stunning it long enough to do the attack once again. You can now eliminate the Troll without it ever haveing it swing at you.

When battling Trolls, first rush in and fierce attack. Then 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 their clubs. This works well against the Cave Troll in Moria. but it can fail against the two Forest Trolls in Fangorn because one will just keep throwing logs.

At a long distance, shoot arrows until they are gone. At a short distance, press Fierce Attack once when thet are close, then run. Wait until it swings, then do it again continually until it dies.

Beating Lurtz
When you reach 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 you can. Another Uruk-Hai will try to help Lurtz kill you while his scimitar is stuck. Kill the Uruk-Hai while Lurtz is stuck.

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, and be stunned. While he is stunned, hit him with a fierce attack one time, then do again. It is possible to beat Lurtz without getting hit by doing this.

When you are fighting Lurtz (at the end of Amon Hen), instead of trying to get his sword stuck in the marble statues, try this trick. After you are done with the bow and you are swordfighting him, just fight him for a while by mostly parrying. Then speed attack once in a while, if you do not, Lurtz will grab and trip you, which does plenty 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.

Beating the Orc Overseer riding the Warg
Take care of the Wargs and riders that are present when the battle starts. The Wargs will charge, but just step out of thier way. Fierce Attack as they pass and stop. Soon, you will be facing just the Orc Overseer on his Warg, who deflects each 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 will hit you virtually every time, so take care of him as soon as you can. The Overseer regularly calls another Orc and Warg into the fight. Dispatch it in the same way as the others, but try to remain 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 normally get three good hits on him this way. After the third hit, he will slash you then 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. Redo this three to four times to beat him.

When you first encounter the Orc Overeseer, he will have roughly four other allies with him. These are really easy to kill. When you do kill them 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 then charge at you. Parry those attacks. After roughly 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 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. Redo this process until you win.

Just shoot his Warg when he rears up, then attack the Overseer while he is stunned.

When you first encounter the Orc Overseer, he will have roughly four other Warg Riders with him. Dispatch these using any means (projectile attacks work well), then be ready for the Overseer himself. Do not get too close or the Warg will bite you and the Orc riding it will slash at you. Remain a safe distance away and the Overseer will charge. Parry the charge and you will get little, if any, damage. 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 him harm. Occasionally the Overseer will call in another Warg to help. Fire projectiles at this "helper" to kill it. Continue to parry the Overseer's charges. It will rear up after every second charge, at which time you can move in and kill him.

Use this trick to avoid being hit when you are fighting the Orc Overseer riding the Warg. After you dispatch the Overseer's allies, the Overseer will try to charge you. Go back and stand in the water, the Overseer will not come near you. When he does charge, 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 let go of 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 a lot. Ranged weapons will not work against him, except for when they are used to stun. Just 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 to hurt you.

You must first beat the four other Warg Riders. To do this, dodge the charging Wargs. When they miss, they will stop. This is your opportunity to attack. When the Overseer charges, you cannot dodge because he will swerve and hit 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 center area (but not up to him). Then be ready to throw an 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 many times to beat him.

Amon Hen: Extra experience points
At the start of the level there will be a concrete structure in the backround. Go under it and up the steps to come across a secret box. Another place to locate 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 locate a walkway going up. The box will be there.

Amon Hen: Beating Uruk-Hai
Run through and manage to get lots of Uruk-Hai to follow you. Then 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 attempt to hit you.

Beating strong 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 the best.

Beating enemies
If you are having a lot of problems killing some of the Berserkers, Urk Hai, etc., try one of these two tricks. First, let the archers target you then run. Then have another enemy between you and the archer. The archer will now hit your opponent not 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 really useful when you have to fight more than one Troll.

Amon Hen: Secret area
When you are close to the place where you meet your friends again, just when you are going down the stairs you can see many vines covering a hole. Slash it to locate a Tome for experience points.

Fangorn Forest: Ent
Go through the level until you reach the part where you fight people in the water. Then kill the archers, then the Orcs that pop out of the water. After that, walk a way's in the water. Watch the water to your right. If you are going in the proper direction, it will be on the right. Keep looking until you see a reflection of a tree. Then look closely at it to see Treebeard's reflection.

At the end of the level, look in the background behind the characters during the FMV sequence. And you can see Treebeard.

At the start 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 extreme end of the level when the intermission sequence with Gandalf starts, before it turns into the film look close and you will see many arms. Look closer and you will see plenty of Ents.

Balin's Tomb: Beating the Stone Troll
Once you go into the mines of Moria, waves of trolls will come through the door. Fight these off until a short intermission starts and the Stone Troll appears. The best way to beat him is to dodge his attacks and fire when your able to. After the Stone Troll has taken some damage, another short intermission will start. You will find yourself on a ledge lined with pillars between you and the Stone Troll. The troll now attacks with a chain. It will only take 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. Jump out and fire as many arrows as possible 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 normally takes care of them.

When you have killed every Orc that drop from the roof, if you have any arrows or axes still, throw charged ones at the two Trolls. Make sure to dodge the sticks that they will throw at you. You will kill them in time.

Get in the center of the two Trolls. When they swing at you, run out of the way. They will hit each other instead of you.

Gates Of Moria: Beating The Watcher
When you are facing the Boss, it will not matter who you are in this mission. Run into the water. The Watcher will raise its tentacles out of the water. Then parry to block the tentacle's strikes. After being blocked, the tentacle will still stay 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 area. Continue to block the strikes from the tentacles. After every tentacle you cut off, The Watcher will surface. He will usually die after five well-placed arrows.

You will first see your partner be knocked out. Then 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 of them 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.

Just block the Watcher's arm swing. Then, its arm will wiggle in the air. This your oppotunity 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 roughly 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 continually to beat it.

Gates Of Moria: Extra experience points
When you first obtain control of your character, run towards the edge of the cliff. Near the edge of the cliff will be a huge 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 uncover a secret box. Smash the box for experience points.

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 receive an "Excellent". Right after you beat all of them, go to the river. After beating the Orc with the shield, you can kick the Orcs shooting the arrows at you off the edge of the waterfall for more "Excellents".

Helm's Deep: Hornburg Courtyard battle
Fight with Gimli, concentrating on killing the enemies who are attacking the gates. When Legolas/Aragorn cries for help, go to the highest level on the stairs and kill the Orcs. Remain on the wall, killing the Orcs up there. The wall's life will stay the same. Stay up there awhile after you kill the archers, then go down. If you stayed upstairs long enough, the Trolls will soon appear.

Helm's Deep: Hornburg Courtyard: More help
When Legolas or Aragorn cries out for help, depending which character you are and you have saved them, remain up there and fight off the Orcs. Notice that there are Rohan soldiers fighting with you. When they die, and you become 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: The Breached Wall
At the start, your chosen character will be shown closing the door, and you have to protect it. There is a meter in the upper right corner of the screen. It is a good idea 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 a brief time, 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. Kill all of them, and also keep the suicidal Orcs back. If you have too many Orcs by the door, and the door has plenty 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 appear. 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 roughly four times, then you will have to go to the other side, always check to see if you are really doing damage.

Helm's Deep: The Deeping Wall
The easiest way to finish this level is to knock down the ladders. Just concentrate on the ladders on the right hand side and in the middle, not the left. This is to avoid getting caught in the killing fiasco. When you are only knocking down the ladders in the middle and right hand side of the wall, you can go back and forth, hitting them down. Only kill the Orcs that are your way, not the orcs killing the other men, but the ones killing you. Even if they are trying to attack you, just run. The other men will take care of them. There is a fast and easy way to remember when it will end. It usually takes around 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 occur. After that, when you hear a single horn blowing, meaning that it will end.

Plains Of Rohan: Extra time
Just use any character and save most of the people and kill as many Orcs as you can to get more time.

Plains Of Rohan: Extra experience points
When you reach 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 way. Enable the "Invincibility" code and walk though it. At the end will be a box. Note: Make sure you save the people and kill the three Orcs first.

Right after Gandalf leaves after breaking the door at the start 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 go behind the counter. Another table will block your path. Smash that table, and just beyond it there will be a box. Break it open to get experience points.

Helm's Deep: The Deeping Wall: Easier "Excellent" kills
To score "Excellent" kills easier, kick invaders off the wall in the same way as you do the ladders. This is a quick and effective way to take care of the Uruk Hai.

Helm's Deep: The Deeping Wall: Forest Trolls
At the last part of the Helm's Deep level, use these steps to get the two Forest Trolls to appear so that you can finish 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 do get them all.

Westfold: Do not explode the explosives
When in the Westfold level, you do not have to destroy the explosives as described by the Rohan soldier. You can leave every explosives alone. You only need to destroy the row of carts carrying the explosives at the end of the level.

Westfold: More experience
When you are facing the Orc Overseer, you can keep killing the Warg riders for more experience. Hit the Overseer four times so that his health goes into the red, then continue to dodge his attacks by running in the water. Then, keep killing the Warg riders until you are happy and finally finish off the Overseer. This is a good way to level up a character who is at a low in level.

Go up the waterfall to locate a box.

You will notice that there are two streams that you will cross, one near the starting area, and one just before the large pond at the end. The one by the starting area will have explosives and an archer. Kill the Uruk-Hai running at you, then blow up the explosives, which will kill the archer. Run forward. When you are standing in the water, walk upstream. You will see a chest. Then break it open for a nice little tomb (experience points).

Go through the level until you get to a stream of water (creek). Go up it and open the box. Now your character will say something about it. Keep going through the level until you reach the intermission sequence in which someone says "Hold them at the gate". Then immediately after that, go to the wooden structure that is back there. When you get there, look to the left. You will see a box inside, but it is covered with fire. Your character will say something once again. Go under the structure. When the camera angle turns, look to the right. There will be a staircase. Go up the stairs. Once again, fire will block your way. So shoot the barrels at the top with your bow. Then, go over to the other barrels and slash them to put out the fire below. Your character will say something similar to "Quite useful" or "That should do it". Go down the steps and get the box.

Tower Of Orthanc: Easy completion
Use the Orc Bane and Bane Of Saruman moves constantly. When you are using them, no other monsters will attack and the arrows that archers fire will not hit you. If you keep on parry as soon as you finish one Bane move, then you will not be hit and can do another easier. This obviously does not work for the Trolls that you come across in the last few levels, but they will not attack when you are doing this on another Orc or Uruk-Hai.

Weathertop: Beating Ring Wraiths
As Aragorn, the easiest way to kill the Ring wraiths is to knock them back against a wall. Then, keep fierce attacking them. Keep on doing this to have a good chance of receiving a "Perfect" each time. However, If you are knocked down you will lose your flame. If this happens, just speed attack the fire.

Legolas: Extra damage
Get to level 8 or above, then fire at the enemy. Wait a few seconds and it will die.

Putting out fires
Many parts of the game will require you to put out a fire or save people in order to move on to the next area. Look for a barrel in the area of the fire. Then smash it with a speed attack and water will flow out, putting any fires it can.

Avoiding Warg charges
To avoid a Warg charge, just stand in the water.

Easier Perfects
This trick is much easier when done with Legolas because of the way he moves. After you reach level 8, buy Elrond's, Islidur's, or Balin's Judgment. Work on using it and getting very proficient with it. After mastering it, go to any level you want to receive Perfect on. This will not work each time, but if you can kill two enemies using the Judgment, you can usually receiving a perfect devastating sword. After you get this, go around killing as many enemies as you can, then repeat.

Easier "Excellent" rank
When you can play levels over again, use this trick. It will take many attempts, depending on your skill. In all of the levels (excluding Weathertop, Amon Hen, Plains of Rohan, Breached Wall, and the Helms Deep), you can finish the level with an "Excellent" rank, simply by killing one or two Orcs, and getting "Excellent". Kill a few Orcs at the start of the level (five or more), getting an "Excellent" rank. Then, run near to the end of the level. For example, in the Gates of Moria level kill off the first few Orcs with your Linked Move until the intermission sequence with the arrow and the Orc and Gimli. Then, run to the part where you need to kill the Watcher, and do not kill any Orcs on your way, unless you have to. No orcs will follow you to the Boss part after you have started it. Kill the Watcher. When your kills get counted, as you will see, you will have more "Excellent" kills.
