==2. Introduction==
===================
===================
Well, this is my first and hopefully one of many guides I'll write for my
favourite games out there for www.gamefaqs.com. I thought I'd write this
guide because
A) This is my favourite game for the PS2 at the moment.
B) I've lots of good tips in my opinion to help gamers through the game.
C) The more FAQ’s on the website, the more opinions people have to choose from,
and the better chance they'll find a style they like more than the others. If
you wish to use this guide on your site, just email me and I'll give you
permission, just email me or contact me on msn messenger like one guy did. Feel
free to print it for personal use.
If you get a score and a rating your proud of on a level, send it to me and
label it very clear on the email. If it's better than the score on that level,
you have the best score for it until some one else beats it. :)

==3. Some tips.==
=================
=================
Now we've got that out the way, we can start getting down to business.
When playing Lord of the Rings you'll notice certain objects in the landscape
with a blue circle around the base of it. When you stand very close to these
objects they are usable by pressing the R1 button. Also, if your a beginner,
it is advisable that you try to prevent yourself from being surrounded. Do
this by using the 'jump back' button, L2, then proceed to use range attacks
like there's no tomorrow. This works great of your either Gandalf or Legolas.
If you're Aragorn or any of the others, it's best to retreat then fight,
retreat the fight until all enemies are killed.
Here is a list of some of the weapons you can find in the game:
Brazier - An iron basket of fire that you can spill over enemies.
Cauldrons - I personally don't know what's in them, but pour them over enemies
for a quick kill
War pikes - The most basic of them all, pick up and throw...and hope.
Siege Weapons - You'll find a few dotted around the landscape.
Bridges - No don't laugh, I'm serious. You'll see later in the FAQ when you're
the hobbits.
Barrels of gunpowder - Yes, again you'll find them on some levels, you'll
be grateful when you’re on the path of the hobbits.
Look out for other environmental hazards to use on the enemy.

Gandalf
Gandalf knows that desperate plans are required as the spectre of darkness
grows over Middle Earth and Sauron's armies issue forth from Mordor to destroy
the world of Men. The White Wizard liberates Rohan and the war is turned
towards Minas Tirith, the last great stronghold of the free people, where he
intends to distract Sauron's gaze with a final, bold defence. As and advisor of
Men, Gandalf musters the defence of Gondor to stand firm in the face of
darkness. As a warrior on the battlefield, Gandalf conjures shockwaves from his
staff to knock enemies aside and then with his sword, he slays them with ease.
But victory cannot be won with forces of arms alone, and Gandalf's plans are
meant to buy time, knowing all hope rests in the success of Frodo's quest.
Aragorn
As the last descendant of the kings of Men, Aragorn is fated to claim the long
empty throne of Gondor, should he prove worthy of this task. But to fulfil his
destiny, Aragorn must first pass through the horrible Paths of the Dead to
attempt to command the foes that once betrayed Gondor. Then he must return to
Minas Tirith and fight Sauron's hoard in defence of the besieged city. And
should he survive this path, Aragorn must at last face The Dark Lord's servants
before the very gates of Mordor. As a ranger and Elf friend, Aragorn's ability
with the bow allows him to defeat opponents at long range. His true prowess
however, lies in close combat. Wielding a reforged Narsil, the legendary sword
that once defeated Sauron, Aragorn is a deadly combatant on the battlefield,
easily defeating multiple foes.
Legolas
Although the Fellowship that set out from Rivendell has been divided, still the
friendship that binds these combatants together holds true. In support of
Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli fight beside each other through hardship and peril,
despite their differences. Yet their greatest challenges are yet to come, as
they enter this war alone and vastly outnumbered. As a fighter, Legolas' skill
with matched blades has won him the respect of his friends. But it is the bow
of Legolas that will often turn the tide of battle, his deadly accuracy often
stopping foes in their tracks. Legolas risks his immortality in the cause of
all free Men and he will not permit Aragorn or Gimli to go on without him - to
whatever end.
Gimli
As sturdy in spirit as he is in stature, Gimli he dwarf is a formidable
warrior. His skill with his weapons and his unflappable spirit earn for him a
strong and unlikely bond with Aragorn and Legolas. Despite the distrust between
Elf and Dwarf, all three of these warriors share a deep admiration for each
other, forged in the firs of combat. Armed with axes and the sheer force of his
will, Gimli can quickly defeat enemies nearly twice his size. His ferocity in
combat is a perfect compliment to the swordplay of Aragorn and the bow skill of
Legolas. Together these companions intend to become and an irresistible force,
helping Gandalf turn the tide in their war against Sauron.
Frodo
In the final days of the War of the Ring, the fate of all Middle Earth rests in
the hands of Frodo Baggins. Now upon the most difficult part of his long
journey, Frodo and his trusted companion Sam at last approach the devastated
land of Mordor, home of The Dark Lord Sauron. With every step taken toward that
fell place the burden upon Frodo grows heavier. Relentlessly pursued by
Ringwraiths mounted upon huge flying beasts, Frodo and Sam must trust Gollum,
if they hope to find an encircling passage through the Orc forces. While huge
armies rage around them, these two small Hobbits must never falter, for failure
will bring about the ruin of the world.
Sam
Often the unlikely may become the greatest of heroes and Sam Gamgee is destined
to become the greatest hero ever. Every step taken by a weary and worn Frodo
brings these two Hobbits closer to Mount Doom and the fulfilment of their
quest. Sam is always at Frodo's side, his unswerving loyalty and conviction of
heart giving them hope, despite the seeming impossibility of their task and the
odds of their success. Sam is a warrior created by necessity, determined,
ferocious and deadly despite his small size. His quick thinking and ability to
use stealth to his advantage must get him - and Frodo - out of some very tight
spots. Yet Sam's greatest strength is his love for his friend and his
commitment to see things through.

==6. Tips using characters==
============================
============================
Gandalf
Well, apart from being old and wrinkly, Gandalf is one powerful dude. After a
few upgrades his ranged attack becomes very powerful and useful. In my opinion
he's one of the best characters. He has a great charged triangle move. Charge
up his triangle move and use his special ability and you've got a good game
plan. A charged-ranged attack can do amazing damage.
Aragorn
He is probably the best character in the game, a really strong fierce attack,
a mediocre speed attack, which is in my opinion his best attack, he may not
be the fastest guy but he can hack his way through a load of enemies with
minimal fuss. A good choice if you want to get straight in their and kick some
orc butt.
Legolas
His speed attack is probably his only saving grace along with his ranged
attack, use these things and victory is certain. DO NOT linger in the middle
of a melee, he will get killed very quickly. When being Legolas, execute an
orc bane if you have it on a small orc then run away and fire arrows until you
are out. Then repeat. Or block constantly to build up the skill meter and then
fight hopefully getting into perfect mode in the process.
Gimli
A little battle tank. Run... or in Gimli's case jog into a load of enemies
and let him rip. he can cut through them very easily, but in my games with
him, his combos are too easily interrupted. To counter this, try and use quick
combos such as orc hewer. Another tactic is to get the crowd down to a easier
number, say 3 or 4.
Hobbits
They're not the most powerful characters to choose, but they are
surpassingly strong for their height. In my opinion their ranged attack sucks.
But their special ability is very useful. Whenever you play as a hobbit, think
of the big nasty orcs who are getting their butt's kicked by a guy barely half
their size. :)
=================
=================
==7. Enemy List==
=================
=================
Small orcs.
You'll find these generally everywhere. Especially in Gandalfs path. Some
have a shield others have a helmet and some wear no armour. Easy to kill,
simply speed attack or Orc Bane them. Basically every combo is effective
against these. If you can avoid using fierce attacks.
Large orcs.
These are not Uruk Hai but not far off, you'll face them in every path like the
small orcs. Either use the Bane of Sauron or, you can speed attack them and
follow up with some good combos like Final Judgement. Fairly easy to kill.
Just don't get surrounded. Some come with shields so fierce attack them first
to rid them of that privilege .
Orc archers.
These get very irritating. Zig zag your way towards them and then take them
out. They come in a variety of sizes, large orc, small orc and Uruk Hai archers
Uruk Hai.
These are a bit tricky since some come with shields. Fierce attacks work well,
but use speed attacks since you'll take them out quicker. Combos are a must.
The shielded ones get quite annoying. So make sure you either block then use a
bane move on them, or a shield-busting combo.
Beserkers.
You remember these guys? From Helm's Deep with the big swords? Well, they're
back but only make a few appearances. Since you can't use a bane move on them.
Block their first few attacks then use a fierce attack followed by a few combos
Champions.
Well, I really hate these guys. I find that parrying their first wave of hits
then get in a combo like orc hewer is effective. Use whatever tactic you find
comfortable. Any other tips you have to defeat these? Please send them in.
Vamsi Mohan sends this:
here's the deal on the orc champions.....
u block their first attack...then hit them about 2 times with a fierce attack
on the fat champions..the shield will fall of..making him look like he just
went on atkins. after that...u can pummel him with the fast attack X as long as
u want...just make sure no one else is around to distract u
Alex sends this:
Ok, first of all, I'm assuming that the vaguely described "champions" you speak
of are the ogres with hammers and swords, but this will work with any shielded
foe. This will also work with any character. Simply charge up your ranged attack
and chuck it at em. (This will even work as a level 1 Hobbit) Any charged up
ranged attack will instantly destroy ALL their shields. Then, use combos like
Orc Hewer, and they'll never lay a finger on you.
And as for the spiders, use a fierce attack (which will knock them over) and
then kill move em. Simple as that.
Trolls.
Big boys with big clubs. Relatively easy to kill, grab a war pike and throw
it at it to kill it in one shot. Or use a charged up ranged attack to take
a chunk of health off. Or, using Gandalf, use his special ability then
casually stroll up to the troll and attack it or simply stand there. Orc hewer
works well.
Easterlings.
These guys can get annoying, especially the ones with the spears and shields.
The trick is to block the use Warrior bane then cut through them with perfects.
No real weaknesses or strengths.
Spiders
Use final judgement and orc hewer and these guys are a piece of cake. Can get
very tricky if they attack in groups of 4+.
More enemies will be added as time goes by.

++Helm's Deep++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
**Gandalf Only**
Ok, first level. Be ready as soon as Eomer shouts "To the King!". You start
surrounded by Uruk Hai, hack your way out and keep fighting whilst listening
to Gimli's advice. After killing quite a few, Legolas will ask for aid. Head
over to Legolas taking out lots of Uruk Hai on the way. When you reach the
ladder an Uruk with a shield will be waiting for you. Use a fierce attack on
his shield and then finish him off.
Climb the ladder and parry instantly as a flurry of arrows will be heading your
way. After parrying use range attacks until Aragorn calls for help.
Ignore the charging Uruk Hai and press R1 in the blue circle to follow Legolas.
When down, kill any charging Uruks and set off the siege weapons one by one for
victory. However some orcs seem to have other ideas, either have fun practising
your fighting technique or ignore them and finish the level. =P
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++Road to Isengard+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When you start charge forward after the Uruks who are fleeing. 3 or 4 Uruks
will pop out of the bushes and attack you. If you bought Orc Hewer use that on
each of them.
A cutscene with an ent will occur after this and when it is finished you will
be attacked by two Uruks and a Uruk archer. Quickly take out the 2 Uruks on
the floor and use a ranged attack on the archer.
Some explosives will be ahead so fire a ranged attack at that too. There is
another load of explosives further ahead near the bridge. Fire at that too
before advancing. A shielded Uruk will be waiting, so quickly dispatch him so
you can take out the two archers on the bridge.
Cross the bridge and keep going till two Uruks come after you. Kill them and
an archer will appear on the ledge to your right. Kill him with a range attack
and another will appear a little further on. After that little scrap. Two uruks
and two little orcs will block your path. Orc bane one of the little orcs and
use speed attacks on the rest.
After the cutscene run down the ledge and 4 little orcs will attack you. You
can try to do an orc bane on one of them and kill the others with a speed
attack. But I find the camera angle too dodgy.
This bit can get annoying. The ents are having some fun and want you to join
in. However, they still feel the need to step on you as well as the other orcs.
You can either:
A) Use your ranged attacks to take some out.
B) Charge in and take out the enemies on the outskirts.
Your goal is to kill 75 either way. The ents will take loads out anyway. If
you really want to take lots out. Stand next to the entry points and have some
fun. When you have killed 75 an ent will smash a barricade allowing you to
pass.
Go along the new path and kill the two uruks that block you. Two archers
will be on the ledge behind the uruks. Slightly hid by the bush. When you have
killed the archers two more come in so kill them quick and get out.
Carry on and a load of little orcs and Uruks will be waiting. Orc hewer or bane
your way through them. More will attack you but they're easy to kill.
Isengard will be in sight now. Follow the path till you see an orc archer near
a cart load of explosives. Blow up the cart and carry on. You'll see a load of
towers with some carts below them. Aim for the carts below each one to destroy
the tower. Some orcs will attack you while you are doing this so orc bane one
and speed attack the others.
Cross the bridge and fierce attack the two uruks. Turn left and kill the two
little orcs continue up the hill to get find a XP block. Go right this time
back where you came and if you they didn't attack you back when you crossed the
bridge. You'll meet them now. One shielded uruk, an uruk and a few little orcs.
Dispatch them and continue right. Kill the two little orcs coming up the hill
and range attack the two archers.
Down the hill, there are two archers on a platform to your left and some orcs
will attack from your right. After dealing with these continue on. A cutscene
will begin with an ent trying to break the dam.
********
**Boss**
********
A beserker from Helm's Deep. Block his first attack then use orc hewer, repeat
this till he dies. Take out the archers and guard the ent until he breaks the
dam. People will attack from the platform near the dam and from where you are.
You will have to use ranged attacks to take out the archers on the platform.
When the dams health is depleted you win.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++Minas Tirith - Top of the Wall+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
**Current highest number of kills on Top of the Wall held by me: 88.**
**Rating: Perfect**
Straight away set about knocking down any ladders and killing any orc that is
on the wall. Try and swift and take out enemies as quickly as possible. Try
and knock down every ladder that shows up and then take out the orcs that have
climbed it. Ladders can be identified by red dots on the diagram on the top
right corner of the screen. The Orc meter has to be kept low down. When it is
full, start worrying.
After a while, siege towers will start coming along with ladders. Try and rush
to the siege tower to destroy it quickly. Use charged range attacks to kill it
quickly. If you have them, orc hewer and final judgement work brilliantly on
the orcs hanging around.
A tip on Minas Tirith Top of the wall, When the siege towers appear. A blue
dot appears on the map appears and if you return to the centre and head to the
back wall and move to the left where you will find a catapult (if you go to the
right staircase there is health) you can take out the siege towers, to the
left, with two fires of the catapult. But on the second tower, when you fire,
a Nazgul appears on it's fell beast. Shoot it down quickly or it will steal
one of the catapult men and kill him. Also on this level, as you go towards
the second siege tower that appears, as soon as you turn you will find another
stairway where there is about 6 experience blocks.
Eventually a siege tower will make it to the wall. Head over there quickly to
take out a load of orcs. After that destroy the siege tower using ranged
attacks.
There will be a cutscene with "Grom" the siege ram. Follow the stream of
Gondorian soldiers down the staircases. Eventually 'Grom' will break through.
Phew! Level cleared.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++Minas Tirith - Courtyard+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I hate this level for numerous reasons.
1) Possible THE most annoying camera angle EVER!!!
2) The Gondorian soldiers don't help apart from the rare occasion
3) The women seem to love wandering into marauding bands of orcs
Straight away move towards the staircase behind you. Meet almost all enemies
there. Take out the band of orcs coming towards you at random times during the
level by doing one of 3 things.
A) Executing your special ability.
B) The good ol' fashioned way.
C) Holding /\ for a bit before they reach you. (not really effective)
Go about guarding the door way and occasionally wandering around killing
loitering gangs of orcs. Ideally use orc bane on one of them then speed attack
the rest.
After a while, some orc archers will show up near the gate. Use range attacks
on them. Lots of them will show up when you least expect it.
Champions will show up so use a charge up range attack or two then either keep
firing at them or orc hewer. Block his first attack then orc hewer him. More
will show up so repeat that OR use the war pikes hanging around. Orc bane
whenever possible to rack up some perfects.
Very soon 3 trolls will show up. You can either use the war pikes on 2 of them
then kill the others with ranged attacks. Or you can use your special ability
on them then orc hewer whilst doing that.
Now it's a test of endurance and skill, champions and trolls and orcs will pour
into the courtyard. Now is the perfect time for my 'Blaster' technique.
Basically, stand on the stairs and keep firing your ranged attack at anything
that moves. You can't actually see the enemy so it's basically fire randomly.
After your ranged attack is depleted, go in search of some more arrows then go
back to blasting. Combo anything and everything and if you have better luck
than me you won't have to replay the mission 5 times.
Congratulations you have completed The Path of the Wizard.

===============================================================================
===============================================================================
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++The Paths of the Dead++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Quite easy but can get tricky in the later stages. Follow the path until
you reach a cutscene when some ghost soldiers come through the wall. Kill them
and then keep following the path.
Another cutscene will begin which has a stone rising from the ground. Defeat
all the ghosts that come out of it and carry on.
As you walk through some mist, some ghosts will ambush you. Take them
out and keep going.
There will be two archers on a bridge ahead of you as you advance. Stop and
fire arrows at them, then turn left and two soldiers will rise up. Kill them
and another two come up to attack you. Kill them and carry on.
Keep on the right hand side and as you advance, two soldiers will appear
in-front of you. Kill them and keep going. DON'T go left but straight on. Push
the rock down onto the soldiers to kill them all. Go back then along that path.
Collect the XP block and as you come back you'll get attacked. Despite the
annoying camera angle it should be an easy fight. Turn right and keep going.
Then take the first left. Then follow it. Take the lower path to get some
health.
As you come back up two shielded ghosts will be waiting. Use a fierce attack on
the shield then carry on to the other ghosts and kill them too.
As you continue 3 more ghosts will block your way in the next chamber. Quickly
dispatch them to carry on. The next obstacle you face is a drawbridge. There is
a red potion to the left of it. On the right is the wheel. Once you start to
pull it archers appear on the ledge in-front of you. Take them out and continue
to lower the drawbridge.
The drawbridge will bring itself back up so you have to go forward. As you go
forward however an ambush will be triggered. Defeat all ghosts to go forward.
Another cutscene and all the pillars fall down. Zig zag your way through
taking out the ghosts as you go. Go through the mist and you'll see a ladder
at the other side of the chamber head towards it and kill the enemies in
your way.
Another rock comes up from the ground as you go forward. This time after
killing a load of ghosts. It also produces a ghost champion. Speed attack each
ghost and occasionally fierce attack the champion. Alternatively, you can
use 3 charged arrows to take out the champion.
Follow the path until you reach a huge statue. Ghosts will spawn around it
so before touching the statue, take out the ghosts then push the statue to
create a bridge.
The gate in-front is closed so turn left to go beneath the fallen statue and
follow it round to get to the gate winch. But two champions will spawn next to
you. Introduce them to god the hard way then proceed to open the gate using the
wheel. Go back the way you came but some ghosts will appear in-front of you.
Hack your way through until you get to the gate.
Go through it and follow the path and you will get to a bridge. Cross it until
you trigger a cutscene.
********
**Boss**
********
Trapped between two big rocks. The goal is to kill 35 ghosts of different
varieties and live to tell the tale. If you have orc hewer, this is a piece
of cake. Simply hack at whoever comes towards you.
After this encounter, run to the end of the bridge and to victory.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++King of the Dead+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Firstly be ready to block, he'll attack 3 times so after each attack do a orc
hewer. After doing this 3 times he'll disappear into the ground. Giving thanks
to my friend from school here Tom Burton, you can get an extra shot in when
he's sinking into the ground by pressing R2.
He'll appear near the bridge and summon some dead soldiers or archers. Kill
them so you can get at the king again. Repeat this process until he reaches
yellow health.
He'll summon a wind to attack you. Oooooh! Scary you say. Well it's a nasty
wind that hurts you. Hide behind a rock then pop out again and hit him with a
charged arrow (thanks again Tom). Repeat this process twice until the rock has
been destroyed.
Then do the same as before but this time, he'll attack 5 times. Repeat the
same process as before and he'll eventually use the wind on you again. Repeat
the above steps to kill him.
The King has yielded but now you have to run. Time is of the essence. Now the
tactic is to run...fast. Legolas and Gimli will abandon you so at least you
don't have to worry about leaving them behind. Follow the path and try to
avoid the rocks dropping around. When you cross over the statue a rock will
appear and spawn ghosts.(I thought we'd beat their king?!?). Anyway, pound
them to a pulp and continue.
Another rock will appear after awhile to block your passage on a bridge.
Hack through them and then kill the two champions to proceed.
Keep following the path and avoiding the falling rocks. After walking through
the mist, you'll meet Legolas and Gimli, and a ghost rock...which spawns a
small army you must hack through, INCLUDING CHAMPIONS. Use any combo you have
and block an awful lot. After killing a lot of ghosts including a small
number of champions, you meet 3 champions. Orc hewer is your best friend in
this scrap. Once you kill them all keep advancing and you'll win.
Phew!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++The Southern Gate++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yay! My favourite level
First keep going towards the gate, and a troll will jump down. Run off the
bridge and grab a war pike and throw it at the troll to kill it in one.
Now simply have fun slaughtering countless numbers of orcs until the level is
cleansed. Don't set off any catapults, except the one on the right hand side
of the path. There doesn't seem to be any use for it. Once you start struggling
set off one catapult on the left hand side. Then keep fighting or if you wish
to just finish the level quickly, set off both catapults. Then run to the
fallen debris to cross the river then climb the ladder to the top. Use bane
combos whenever possible.
It is quite easy to get 3 levels up doing this.
When up there you'll be confronted with 2 orcs. Make short work of them and
keep going. You'll next be confronted with a troll. The key is to use a
charged up arrow to take it out. Use as many as you need. Or, if you can get
a perfect on one of the orcs just before hand, you can kill it very quickly.
Ladders will appear as well, so knock them down if you want to stem the flow of
orcs or you can use this tactic from Mike Kennedy:
"In The Southern Gate, he right hand catapult is of use! There are siege
ladders that take over the top of the structure-thing. This catapult takes out
several orcs and the landing area that the siege ladders will now TRY to take.
This has worked for me and I hope it will work for you."
This is from Bmxhammerguy:
"On the southern gate level I have 413 kills I got some when you go up the
ladder to kill the cavetroll don’t kill him and endless orcs will climb up
the ladders and come out the building until you kill the cavetroll"
After fighting for a bit, a Mumakil will appear. You can either
A) Use arrows on him.
B) Go to the left most part of the gate and use two war pikes on it to smash
some of it's armour then use arrows.
Be careful as it fires a lot of arrows itself.
Either way once it's dead, continue to slaughter orcs on the gate and when
you feel you've had enough, or there are no more orcs, turn the wheel and open
the gate.
8 orcs will try to block the gate so you can either kill em the good ol'
fashioned way, or cheat.
If you want to cheat simply pour the two cauldrons on top of them and wait for
a few seconds. Otherwise go back the way you came down the ladder and have
some fun.
Level cleared!
NOTE: It is advisable to be at least level 8 before going onto the next level
Also have all the "Bane" combos.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++Pelennor Fields++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Can get very annoying, lets go!
First you have to kill 60 Orcs/Easterlings. This is relatively easy. Apart from
the Easterling champions that have a knack to just go for you. This is why it
is preferable to have the bane combos. Use one then, cut through the waves of
enemies trying to kill you. You should reach 60 in no time. Try not to get
surrounded.
A cutscene will start with Eowyn and Merry. The task now is to kill any
Mumakil which come near you. How? Well here is a diagram of the valley:
---------------------------------------
| \ | / |
| | | | |
| | V | |
| | \ \ | |
| \ \ \| |
| | \ \ | |
| |\ \ \ |
| | \ \ | |
| | | |
| X / / X |
---------------------------------------
The arrow is the direction of the Mumakil. The X is where to go to hit the
With King.
The Mumakil will come down the valley. They have shields on one side of them.
You have to get to the side of the valley where the Mumak's shields are.
Then you fire arrows at it to kill it. Or use the siege weapons and war pikes.
Then depending on which valley side you are on, get to the 'X' to fire
charged arrows at the witch king. Try and take out enemies very very fast.
When switching between valley sides, do not engage any enemies. Repeat the
above process until victory is achieved.

The Mouth of Sauron.
Simply speed attack him or use Helm's Hammer if you have it. This fight is
very easy.
CHECKPOINT
I hate this level.
A)It seems you are the only one fighting.
B)Gimli, Gandalf and Legolas seem incapable of self defence.
C)The amount of archers that appear on this level.
Now a massive army comes to say hello. The goal is to kill 6 champions.
Also, whenever of your allies appears on the top of the screen with a health
bar, stick near them for a bit and kill any orcs or Easterlings around them.
This should prove no problem until champions pour in. Use the war pikes on
them and tip the Braziers over them too. Use fierce attacks lots, and use Bane
combos to get perfects.
CHECKPOINT
Oh yeah!
A cutscene will start with the enemy circling the entire hill. Keep fighting,
and check the sides for archers on small platforms. More and more champions
will come so try to take them out even quicker now.
CHECKPOINT
Hell yeah!

3 Ringwraiths
Remember Wheathertop in The Two Towers Video Game? Where you used fire to kill
them? Well run to each Brazier and topple it to kill the Ringwraiths and
throw war pikes at them too. Block constantly and helm's hammer works ok on
them but try not to attack then with your sword. Arrows work very very well on
them charged or not charged.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First go forward through the arc on your left and you'll be greeted by two
orcs. Reply by sticking your sword through them and carry on. When you've
killed them, there is a staircase with an orc archer at the top. Throw some
daggers at him and go forward.2 orcs will come at you so finish them and
proceed forward. A catapult will blast away the wall and the orcs so go through
the newly created door and throw some daggers at the orcs archer in the rubble.
Kill the two orcs that charge down at you and then follow Smeagol. A timer will
appear in the top right corner. You have to be under some sort of shelter
before it fills otherwise you lose. Kill the orcs attacking the men and run for
the stairs. Dispatch the orcs guarding the stairs and wait for the Nazgul
meter to disappear. You can take the two orc archers out from the stairs
without being seen by the Nazgul.
Run to the shelter of the building on the other side of the roof. A catapult
will take care of most of the orcs around it. You should only have to deal with
two of them. Climb down the ladder and kill both archers whilst they have their
backs turned. Climb down this ladder too and you'll be attacked by two orcs.
"Negotiate" with them then carry on, killing all orcs in the vicinity and
dealing with the archer on the stairs. Go through the door the archer was
guarding and climb the stairs whilst killing the orcs. Watch out for the 2
archers.
At the top, there is a man and 3 orcs including an archer. You can knock them
off the ledge by using the circle button. Anyway, head outside after that for a
checkpoint.
Go through the arch and two orcs will appear from nowhere and attack you. Get
rid of them and climb the ladder. Run forward and up the bridge taking out all
7 orcs. Then orc archers will appear ahead, side-step to the right and hide
from the nazgul for a bit. Take shots at the archers with your daggers as well.
But before you do that, take out any orcs that fancy a fight.
When the meter is depleted start again taking out any surviving orcs. Head
towards the ladder and climb down it after dealing with the orc. Go right down
to the bottom and eliminate the orcs down there. Climb the stairs but be
wary of any orcs that chuck themselves down at you. When at the top, kill the
last orc and push the bell onto the pursuing orcs. Even better, if you bought
it for the entire fellowship and you've gone up a level with Sam on this level
use orc bane on the last orc and push the bell down and get perfects!
Here's a useful tip from Bill
on the first level of the hobbits. after the first checkpoint when you get to
the bell tower where you roll the bell down the stairs. before you roll the
bell down the stairs there is a bell hanging in the middle with a rope. stand
a hair left of the rope looking outside. there is the dragon flying by. when
he passes going to the right time out a dagger throw hit the rider and you
get 2000exp points per hit. if your standing to the left of the rope you
throw when the dragons head is even with the broken pillar to the right. if
you are full of daggers you can get 60000exp points right there. Hope this
helps.
Run back down the stairs and through the new door and kill the orcs outside.
Climb the stairs and swiftly kill all the orcs. Go up the stairs and kill all
the orcs whilst running. Head for the shelter where the man is fighting two
orcs. Help him out and wait till the Nazgul meter has depleted. When it has,
kill the archers and kill all the orcs, I made it 5 orcs. Clear the sheltered
area of orcs and archers, then wait for the meter to deplete.
Run across the roof, killing all orcs you meet. Keep going until you reach a
ladder under a roofed building. Go down it until you reach the bottom. Kill the
welcome party of orcs then go down the next ladder. Follow this tunnel and kill
any orcs in the way. You'll eventually meet a champion. Get very close and use
your special ability then get behind him and backstab him. Clear out the orcs
and open the gate and you've won! Alternatively, throw your daggers at the orcs
around the champion then use the special ability and backstab him.
Level Cleared!!

++Shelob's Lair++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Okay, you can get lost pretty easy in the level (or is it just me?)
I also have a phobia of spiders. >.<
Here's a tip from dogsoldiers12
"in shelobs lair, your going the right way if you hear frodo calling for you."
Keep on the right path and don't turn left and eventually a spider will attack
from the left. Knock it on it's back with speed attacks then finish it off with
R2. Keep going down the right hand path. Another spider will try and kill you.
Dispatch it then keep following this path to collect an XP block. When you try
to leave, a load of spiders will jump down for a fight. Final judgement works
really well on spiders. After killing them all head back to the fork and take
the left turn now.
See the black stuff on the floor that’s moving? Whatever you do don't walk into
it. Don't try to kill it either. Keep going and turn right. Take the tunnel the
spider comes out of after killing it. Going down this a spider will attack from
the right. Kill him and keep going straight to get an XP block. Deal with the
spiders that stop you. Take the path that the spider attacked you from. Follow
it until you get to a fork. Kill any spiders and take the left path. In total,
6 spiders will attack you as you continue down this path, maybe more. Throw the
torch into the black spiders to make a path (a bit like Moses eh?) continue on.
Throw the torch at the web after dealing with the trapeze loving spiders.
When the camera angle shifts as you go into this chamber, two spiders will
attack from the rear. Kill them and go on. Throw the torch at the cocoon
hanging down then slaughter the orcs. Use orc bane mostly and orc hewer if you
have them. This is very difficult thanks to the dumb camera angle.
Alternatively, follow the path around and avoid the congregation of orcs and
deal with any orcs blocking your path.
Follow the new path and a shielded orc and a regular orc will try to stop you.
Quickly dispatch them and continue on. Throw the torch at the cocoon above the
waiting spiders and orcs. Any survivors left should be dealt with. Take the
right path, dealing with spiders as you go.
You'll come to a gathering of orcs. Take the right path and orc bane one of
the orcs and kill the other, push R1 in the blue circle to push a load of rocks
onto the orcs waiting. Haha! Take that suckers. Go through the tunnel at the
end of the chamber where the orcs were.
A cutscene with Shelob scuttling down the wall will start now. Take out the
orcs on the bridge, killing any orcs in the way. Or throw the torch at the
cocoon hanging above them all (how dumb can a group of orcs get?!?). Kill the
spiders in the next tunnel and throw the torches at the black spiders on the
floor. As you near the torch, two spiders will jump down. Deal with them and
throw the torch at the spiders on the floor. Use the other torch to your left
to burn the web. Stick to the wall on the left side to get to the web without
going through the black spiders. Take out the spiders coming out of the tunnel.
Go forward and two orcs will want a fight. Once they're dead, go forward to the
torch at the fork. Throw the torch at the spider group on the right. Then go
through the gap. Deal with the spiders dropping down and go to the end of the
tunnel and throw the torch at the web. Go back to the torch at the fork and
throw it this time at the spiders on the right. Throw the next torch at the
next row of spiders. As you do this, some orc archers show up. Block the waves
of arrows then reply with your own. Then throw the torch at the spiders to get
through, Do this for each blockade of spiders. Go through the tunnel and some
spiders will come for a fight. Take them out then go out the tunnel and to
Shelob.
You see Shelob has got a kill. It's Frodo. Time to fight!
********
**Boss**
********
Sneak up behind her with a combo like orc hewer. Then block her first three
attacks and then charge up your fierce attack by holding triangle. When she
lunges in use it. Another good tactic is to keep doing orc hewer after blocking
the attacks.
Eventually you stick a sword into her eye, and she's not impressed one bit.
She'll run off onto the wall and stay there. (No you can't hit her). She'll
send spiders after you so kill them to get back at Shelob.
NOTE: If you stand still for a few seconds when the little spiders come out.
She'll bellyflop on top of you, which, seriously, scares the bejesus outta,
you.
Repeat the process until you chop a leg off. Now she's mad. She'll run around
so dodge her as best you can. She'll send out the troops again so deal with
them, then back to Shelob. Repeat the above tactics to win. Eventually, two
orcs come down and take away Frodo.
Level Cleared. Phew! No more spiders.

You have to kill 80 orcs including champions in this level. A Piece of cake for
Samwise Gamgee.
Run into the room until the champion comes after you. Use your special ability
and then backstab him and clear the room of the remaining orcs. Lower the bridge
to allow an orc and a big orc to run into the area. Take them out. You need all
the kills you can get. Run up the bridge, or stay put and let your special
ability recharge. Once it has take out the two orcs that charge out the tunnel
when you get near it. Go down the tunnel and two orcs and a champion will greet
you. Quickly take the orcs out and get very close to the champion before using
the special ability. Once you have backstabbed him continue on.
Go to the end of the tunnel and throw the war pike at the large orc. Head down
the stairs and dispatch the two orcs fighting. Once down the stairs, eliminate
all of them and preferably, use a bane on one and spill the braziers. Take the
first possible left and kill the orcs that stop you. Kill the shielded orc that
blocks your path then follow this passage.
You should be in a chamber with orcs fighting and two braziers. Bane one enemy
then spill a brazier. Take out the surviving orcs. Then go through the door.
the room your in now has a staircase on the wall that you must climb to make
this whole area sooooooooooo easier. Climb the staircase and before just
before you reach the top, orc bane and orc then cut the rope using R1 after
killing the champion very quickly. Or dodging the champion and cut the rope
first. That counts as a load of automatic perfects and now turn your attention
to the orcs coming up behind you. Kill them all except one and orc bane him. Go
through the door on the right and spill the cauldrons for even more perfects.
After this point I had killed 80+. Go down the stairs and through the arcs at
the other side. Kill all orcs and keep going to the right. Dodge through the
orcs but Bane one of them and pull the bridge lever to crush a load of orcs and
get some perfects. Kill all remaining orcs and go up the bridge and left to
climb a ladder.
Up here, bane one of the orcs after backstabbing the other and push the barrels
onto the orcs fighting below to get even more perfects. Go up the ramp and a
cutscene will happen. After this, go to the catapult and backstab the champion.
Set off the catapult and wait for a bit. Now run up the bridge to the tower
without stopping because it collapses behind you.

Your now in the room with Frodo. But you have to kill that mean orc.
When he goes to pick a shield up throw a war pike at him. Then throw another at
him to daze him and then either attack him normally or use the war pikes. Keep
doing this until his health is depleted. This fight is easy.
NOTE: When he is on the floor you can stab him using R2 when he is in red
health.
Level cleared!

Naughty Smeagol, oh well, prepare to die.
I personally don't like this level. Your melee attacks don't hurt him, nothing
does. So get him to the edge of the platform. (You can't fall off). Using a
fierce attack makes him jump back and to the left and a speed makes him jump
back and to the right. This can be useful. I find it a lot easier to run to the
edge and wait until Gollum chases you. Then move yourself so he's got his back
to the edge. Then using combinations of speed attacks, fierce attacks and
pushing him to knock him off. He'll grab onto the ledge though so use R2 to see
to that.
He'll come back up so follow the same pattern until he's off again. The third
time after you do this lava will pour onto the platform, so stick to the edges.
After knocking him off again a bit of the platform breaks off. After the fifth
time rocks fall on and after that, lava and rocks. Knock him off once more for
victory.
Congratulations, you've completed The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

Chester Chew sends this:
to add to your perfect kills simply get your character to perfect mode, then do
the characters 1k exp. cheat. You will receive 1000 exp. for that character but
your kills will increase. I tried it on Gollum on the final stage of the path
of the hobbits and it gave me 200 kills even though I only killed Gollum.
