The Lord Of the Rings: The Third Age is one of the best games I have ever
bought for the XBOX. I have completed the game in all three difficulties.
I have experimented with the many ways to develop characters, but my favorite
character has to be Morwen. Her ability to steal items from the enemy makes
her one of the best characters to develop as fully as you can. In this FAQ you
will find what items Morwen can steal from your enemies for each of the areas
of the game. I have not included "Special" Items that she can steal from Boss
encounters. Let's just say that if you are involved in a major Boss battle,
you might want to try to steal from the Boss. Many Boss encounters have armor,
weapons, etc. that can be stolen.
I do not have a problem with this being posted on any site without my
permission. If you include any of the material from this FAQ, I would
appreciate credit.
After acquiring Morwen in Rohan, it is beneficial to travel back to the areas
of the game that you have already completed. Many items can be retrieved from
the enemies that you have encountered along the way. Doing this also allows
you to build up those skills as the encounters that were tough in the beginning
should now be much easier since your characters are much stronger and do a lot
more damage.
The main idea of traveling back is to steal the items you want from the random
encounters while using your skills and building up your characters skill trees.
NOTE: Boss encounters can only be completed once per game so they will not be
available to steal from when traveling back. The Quest encounters also will
not be available (i.e. Wild Men Quest in Eregion).
In the sections below, I will list the name of the enemy and what item can be
stolen from them next to their name.
