Storyline
':*:' =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ':*:'
=============================================================================
Three rings for the Elves under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf Lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for the Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie,
One ring to rule them all. One ring to fine them,
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
In early Middle-Earth there were master rings forged to help the races govern
themselves. They were all decieved though, for a ring above all the others
was forged, The Dark Lord Sauron forged it in the center of Mount Doom. He
took control of the lands until an alliance of Humans and Elves battled it
out....
On the grounds of Mount Doom Humans and Elves joined forces to stop the Dark
Lord. As Isildur's father is killed by Sauron the Dark Lord he picks up his
father's sword and slices the ringed hand off destroying everything. The
race of men is weak though, instead of destroying the ring in the fires of
Mount Doom Isildur kept it. One day while riding on his horse (now king) he
was attacked by orcs. The ring was thrown into the bottom of a lake where it
remain for 2500 years. On a riverfolk named Smeagle's birthday him and his
friend went fishing in the river. His friend pulled up the ring and because
riverfolk are attracted to shiny things Smeagle went insane and killed his
friend for the ring.
Eventually Smeagle was kicked out of his community and took the name of
Gollum and took refuge in a Goblin Mountain. There he was corrupted by the
ring for 500 years until Bilbo Baggins on his journey (read the Hobbit for
information on his journey) met him deep inside Goblin Mountain. Bilbo found
the ring on the dark ground and once Gollum found out tried to attack him,
but by flipping on the ring Bilbo disappeared and escaped the Mountain.
Bilbo remained alive for a very long time, even for a Hobbit, and on his
100th birthday he gave the ring to Frodo, his adopted son.
The ring was soon discovered by Gandolf to be the "One Ring" and frodo must
go to Rivendale, the home of the elves. After a long journey with Sam,
Pippin, Merry, and Aragorn (met along the way) they finally reached
Rivendale where they held a councel. After much debating it was Frodo who
would take the ring to Mount Doom along with the "Fellowship of the Ring".
The Fellowship took off and because of Saruman (now allied with Sauron) had
to go into the Mines of Moria where the game starts off.

Character Analysis
':*:' =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ':*:'
=============================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Aragorn the Human Ranger =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Aragorn, also known as Strider is the decendant of Isildur, though he is
nothing like him. He is known as an outsider by his race, and many other
things across the land. Skilled both in the Bow and the Sword he is a very
tough opponent. As a character in the game, he is probably my favorite. He
is decently fast, and his attacks are good all around, if you're new to this
game you _MUST_ be him, since he is well rounded. The only problem that I
ever have with him is that sometimes he is too generic making it difficult to
kill some enemies that you need say a high bow damage to defeat eaisly.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Legolas the Elvish Archer =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Legolas, the Immortal elf. All elves are immortal, only being able to die in
battle or if killed by a related way. He is the best character long ranged
wise, and he can have 60 arrows opposed to 30 for the other characters. He is
also quite fast, though his close ranged attack is severely lacking. Because
of his unbalanced stats he is only good in a few missions, but in those
missions he is _VERY_ good. If you think Aragorn is a bit too generic then I
suggest trying Legolas.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Gimili the Dwarven Axeman =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Gimili is one of the highest ranking Dwarves, that isn't really saying much
though. Dwarfs aren't very kind to outsiders and prefer to be locked up in
their mines, but they are very skilled with the axe. Gimili is basically, the
worst character. He is strong, but slow, and his long ranged attack is useless.
the only time you would want to use him would be when you want a real challenge
or if you are in the like one level he is good in. I suggest just ignoring him
for the most part of the game :).

Enemies
':*:' =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ':*:'
=============================================================================
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Cave Troll ==
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Big, slow-witted, and dangerous, the cave troll is an awkward brute that
might not be taken seriously if it weren't so horrifying. Its strength is
legendary, its speed deceptively fast, and its thick hide and strong
constitution make fighting one an epic event. Thankfully, its decision making
skills are lacking, and Cave Trolls despise direct sunlight. Check the
walkthrough for advice on beating them.
=-=-=-=-=
= Orcs =
=-=-=-=-=
The foot soldiers of Sauron's evil forces, Orcs can be found throughout Middle
Earth. Although mutated from Elves, Orcs are corrupted forms that stand just
over five feet tall. Taking their strength and determination for less than
full-size can be a deadly mistake, however, especially when multiple Orcs are
involved in battle. Capable of melee attacks as well as ranged attacks with
bows, Orc have no obvious weakness. Taking them down may be a bit of a
challenge. I suggest using Fierce Attacks to knock them down, then a Kill
Move.
=-=-=-=-=
= Lurtz =
=-=-=-=-=
At Amon Hen, the Fellowship fights to protect Frodo from the Uruk-Hai. Lurtz,
their leader, is bigger and more fierce than the rest of his army, and slaying
him will prove no easy task. Check the Walkthrough for advice on beating this
boss.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Ringwraiths =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The nine Dark Riders were once great kings, hellisly corrupted to the point
of no return. They fell victim to Sauron when he gifted them rings of power,
which slowly turned them to wraiths. They are now completely under the Dark
Lord's control and he dispatches them throughout Middle-earth in attempts to
recover The One Ring. They appear in hooded black robes, usually when the
Eye of Sauron is fully fixed upon the One Ring's wearer. You only have to
fight these guys once, in the second level of the game. Basically you have
to light them on fire with a torch then attack with Fierce Attacks.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Saruman the White =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Once trusted friend and advisor to Gandolf, Saruman betrayed all once he
stood for to join the sinister cause of the Dark Lord Sauron. His powerful
magic inspires fear in all those who oppose him, and his fortress in Isengard
is home to a vast army of his own foul creation: the Uruk-Hai. One cannot
hop to overpower Saruman, for merely surviving any confrontation with this
brilliant wizard is considered a true victory. Unfortunately, you do not
fight Saruman in this game.
=-=-=-=-=-=
= Sauron -=
=-=-=-=-=-=
The Dark Lord himself has not been physically present on Middle-Earth for
some time. In fact, it was over 3,000 years ago that Isildur cut The One Ring
from Sauron's hand, ending has last evil reign. Today however, Sauron grows
more powerful with every passing minute. His vile armies are spreading
throughout Middle-Earth in an ever-expanding search for The One Ring. If he
gets it, Middle-Earth will be plunged into an age of unimaginable terror and
violence, and Sauron will take physical form once again. Like Saruman you do
not face off against the Dark Lord in this game :(.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Uruk-Hai -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Saruman has succeeded in crossbreeding Men and Orcs. The result is an army of
stronger, fast Orcs that do not weaken in sunlight. They are capable of melee
attacks, ranged attacks with bows, and pike attacks. Genetic enhancement
makes the Uruk-Hai larger, stronger, and far more dangerous than their
standard Orc counterparts. Uruk-Hai are a pain to defeat, especially in Helms
Deep. Basically you want to defeat them the same way as Orcs with Fierce
Attacks to knock them down, and Kill Moves to defeat them, but often they are
too strong for that so it will basically take a shield breaker move then the
Orc defeating combo or something like that.
=-=-=-=-=
= Wargs =
=-=-=-=-=
The great Wargs are a terrifying breed of huge wolf-like carnivores, driven
by a hunger for blood and predatory intelligence. Saruman recruits Wargs,
and Orcs skilled in riding them, in his campaign to crush the nation of Rohan.
Worked into a killing frenzy by the murderous Orcs, the Wargs fall upon the
ruined Rohan refugees as they flee their burning homes. These things are
pretty darn easy, a few fierce attacks and they're dead.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= The Watcher =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The mines of moria rarely sees visitors, and the Watcher is one of the main
reasons why. This multi-tentacled behemoth waits patiently for prey just
outside the entrance to the mines, and very rarely does a man-sized meal
escape its writhing grasp. Consult the Walkthrough for advice on the Watcher
battle.

= The Slopes of Mount Doom -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Walkthrough:
After a short movie the actual gameplay begins. You control Isildur in this
level, who controls like Aragorn. This mission is very easy, you don't even
really move much. Enemies come at you and at the top right the game tells you
which button to press, easy huh? After you kill a few guys there will be a
short movie of Archers taking out orcs and the gameplay will come back on.
Now you will need to do Fierce Attacks because the Orcs have shields, I don't
suggest using speed attacks at all, because Fierce Attacks give you better
ratings. Soon there will be another movie of Mount Doom erupting, no worries
really, the Mountain will occasionally shoot out a fireball, but you are in
no harm.
If your sword starts to glow that means you have a perfect from attacking
enemies rapidly. Use speed attacks now because you will kill enemies in one
hit no matter what, until your sword stops glowing. There will be one last
movie of the dark lord killing a bunch of guys (and your father) then there
will be a movie clip where Isildur slices off his the Dark Lord's hand
killing everything, Sauron has been defeated. After a little bit of
storyline there will be the mission ending screen. A bunch of numbers and
charts will come up telling your kills, and type of kills.
Level Information:
The Slopes of Mount Doom takes place 3000 years before all the other events in
this game. The last alliance of men and elves charge to Mount Doom and
attempt to destroy the Dark Lord Sauron. Things are going well, until the Dark
Lord appears that is. He takes out ten's of people at a time, until he kills
Isildur's Father. Enraged Isildur picks up his father's sword and cuts off
Sauron's hand with the ring on it. Sauron and his army of orcs die, and this
is the one chance to get rid of the evil forever. Men are weak though, Isildur
keeps the ring and the legacy lives on.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Weathertop -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Walkthrough:
A short movie will play like the first level and all the levels to come and
you'll gain control of Aragorn. In this mission it pits you against the nine
Ring Wraiths, they aren't too hard though. Basically what you're doing is
liting them on fire with your torch, if it goes out then head to the fire
and light it by attacking there. Keep an eye on Frodo, if he dies you'll
fail the mission, he has a life bar on the top right. After you kill three
they'll stab frodo (no worries), finish off the rest that attack (it should
not be nine) and a movie will happen. It will explain the "Fellowship of
the Ring". A new screen will pop up after the Mission Totals, buying stuff.
You can buy attacks, and upgrades, buy a few if you want and have the exp
then continue.
Level Information:
Frodo, Strider (Aragorn), Sam, Merry, and Pippin need a place to rest for the
night, and high ontop of a small mountain they find Weathertop Fortress. Late
in the night Merry and Pippin start a fire and the RIngwrathes see it -_-' so
they come charging up. Armed with a torch and a sword Aragorn attempts to
fight off the Ringwrathes, but Frodo is stabbed and will die if not taken
care of. Frodo is taken to Rivendale where the Fellowship of the Ring is
formed.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Gates of Moria -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Recommended Character: Aragorn or Legolas
Walkthrough:
Saruman has stopped you from going over the mountain so now you must go
under. Run down the side and you should notice orcs running down a hill,
when you reach them take them out with speed attacks and continue along the
path. An explosion of a wall will occur, take out the appearing Orcs with
some fierce attacks as you run along and more explosions occur. When you
reach the end you will go through a short movie of you saving Gimili. Take
out the Archers firing at you with your bow and try to avoid the close range
orcs (let Gimili handle them). As you come across archers firing at you
take them out with your bow, and handle close range orcs with speed attacks
until you reach the swampy area.
Once you reach the swamp be ready, Orcs will come out of the water. This is
actually a pretty tough area. You will be surprised by Orcs coming out of
nowhere will ambushed by Archers. The best thing to do is to try to avoid
the arrows by moving a lot, and take out the Orcs with Fierce Attacks for
quicker kills. Make sure to walk over red potions you find on the ground,
for if you don't then you might die from lack of HP. At the end of the swamp
you'll face off against The Watcher.
-= Boss Battle: The Watcher =-
The Watcher battle is awkward, but not hard if you know what you're doing.
It will have everything but its tentacles under water, and the tentacles
will attack you. Do Not, try to avoid them, or attack back, simply block
them with the B button and they'll be up in the air. Run up and slice the
Tentacles, and the head will appear. Shoot the head with an arrow, and
repeat this process. Do this several times and the Watcher will fall, not
too hard huh?
Level Information:
Saruman has created a storm preventing the Fellowship to travel across the
mountain so they must find another way... to Moria. After traveling to the
gates they are attacked by the Watcher a giant swamp, octopus type creature,
after a short battle they are faced with the puzzling gate of moria saying
"speak friend and enter". Frodo asks what the elvish tongue of "friend" is,
Gandolf says what it is and the gate opens.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Balin's Tomb -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Recommended Character: Legolas
Walkthrough:
When they arrive in Moria they find the Tomb of Balin. As they approach
it they are also attacked by hundreds of Orcs. For the non boss portion
of this mission you want to basically be blocking the Orcs. Find where
they spawn ASAP then stand there. As they come attack with Fierce Attacks
since some of them have shields. As you are probably experiencing this
mission is very easy. You'll take a lot of damage, but potions are also
constantely spawning so it's easy! After awhile the Cave Troll will
attack...
-= Boss Battle: Cave Troll =-
For the first and easier portion of the Battle you want to do a hit and
run style. Run up to the side of him, do a Fierce Attack then run behind
him, then around and repeat this. Doing this will minimize the damage to
that of really small, and soon you will be at portion two of the battle.
After you deal some damage to him there will be a movie and you will run
up on a higher ledge. He will now attack with a chain. Hide behind pillars
and shoot arrows from him. If he destroys the pillar run to another, there
is plenty of pillars. If you run out of arrows there is a arrow fill up
on the right side, and if you start to run low on HP goblins come every
once and a while, when you kill them they will give you a potion. Because
of your good long range (if you're Legolas) you should defeat him rather
quickly ^_^.
Level Information:
Near the end of the deserted Moria the Fellowship comes across the Tomb of
Balin. Before a heart-warming reunion can take place, the Fellowship is
attacked by goblin. Toward the end of the fight they are faced against a
giant Cave Troll, in which Legolas ends up killing. They leave the tomb soon
and have to flee from a fire demon. On the bridge leaving Moria the demon
catches up to the rear, Gandolf. Gandolf breaks the bridge sending the demon
flying down, but he also sends Gandolf down with him!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Amon Hen -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Recommended Character: Aragorn
Walkthrough:
After Frodo cries even more, and some more lame stuff the mission begins.
You get to fight Uruk-Hai in the mission (what joy!). The beginning of the
mission is You, and the others verse a bunch of Uruk-Hai. Take them out
with Fierce Attacks then run down into the forest. Now that you're in the
forest look up at the Top Right of your TV. There will be the number of
Uruk-Hai left, and Frodo's HP. Your main goal is to go through the level
killing all the Uruk-Hai before frodo dies. It's not really that hard.
There is plenty of potions that spawn, and only like five at a time attack
you. If you ever are in deep trouble, like surrounded by tons of Uruk-Hai
then start using A attacks. After you've killed all the Uruk-Hai and gone
all the way through the forest you will face off against the leader...Lurtz
-= Boss Battle: Lurtz =-
The first portion of the battle is a lot easier than it seems. Stay your
distance away and shoot him several times with arrows until there is a cut
scene where he picks up an axe type thing. Take out his little minions
now so it's just you verse him. Run behind a statue and make sure he gets
his weapon stuck on it. Now attack him with fierce attacks until he breaks
the statue, now go to a different statue and repeat. If you're good you
might get up a to a perfect and be able to kill him very quickly, if not it
will be a slightly long battle of getting his weapon stuck in a statue and
attacking, then running to another.
Level Information:
Leaving an Elvish Village the Fellowship is attacked by Uruk-Hai in pursuit
of Frodo. The Uruk-Hai is attacked and widdled down by the Fellowship while
Frodo and Sam escape to their own path. The Uruk-Hai end up picking up the
wrong hobbits though, Merry and Pippin! As they are leaving the leader faces
off against Borimor, and kills him to only be fought, and killed by Aragorn.
Realizing that it's Frodo's journey the remaining Fellowship members (Aragorn
Legolas, and Gimili) head in pursuit of Pippin/Merry.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Fangorn Forest -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Recommended Character: Gimili
Walkthrough:
As the mission begins run through the forest until a tree is blocking your
way. Hack it up and continue along until there is a huge tree blocking your
way, and a group of enemies burst out. Defeat them with Fierce Attacks to
destroy their sheilds then Speed Attacks to finish them off and run through
the inside of the tree. Break the log and run until you see a Troll. Charge
him with Fierce Attacks until he is defeated, then break the fence and
continue on. After the cutscene attack the Uruk-Hai. There is a lot, but if
you attack one at a time with fierce attacks it's not so hard. After you've
defeated them run up into the river. Wade through the river, taking out
enemy Uruk-Hai when they appear until you reach a cave with another troll.
Defeat the troll and exit the cave and make your way to the next troll fight
killing enemies as you go. Once you reach this double troll fight destroy
the logs, then charge the left troll. After it's dead run right to a tomb
like thing, and hack it up getting a potion. Now you're ready to kill the
other one, do so then head forward to the end of the level. You will meet up
with Gandolf again ^_^.
Level Information:
The riders of rohan have killed all the Uruk-Hai when the Aragorn, Gimili,
and Legolas arrive. Upon further inspecton Aragorn finds that they were not
killed, but have fleed into the Fangorn Forest. Entering this Ancient Forest
they search for the hobbits to no avail (who have been picked up by Ents!),
they do find Gandolf reborn though! Gandolf has came back as Gandolf the
White to help stop the Alliance of Evil (Sauron/Saruman). They now head to
the towns of Rohan.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Plains of Rohan =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Recommended Character: Legolas
Walkthrough:
Once the gameplay beings quickly take out the Uruk-Hai and run into the town.
Gandolf will take out a bunch of enemies, help take out the rest then Gandolf
will break open a door for you, head through it. Look at the top right of the
screen, this is the townspeople meter thing, if it runs out you'll lose the
mission, run over to where there is a barrel and some fire, slash the barrel
and the fire will be put out. Run up the stairs after the cutscene now,
destroy the tables and start attacking the Uruk-Hai. The townspeople will run
away, destroy the Uruk-Hai and leave through the back of this house. As you
emerge start running up, there will be some people running down because they
are being chased by an Uruk-Hai, destroy it with a few fierce attacks and run
on up to the top killing the Bow-Uruk-Hai-Men.
Continue on running down then up. There should be another hill going up, but
there is some fire blocking it. Shoot a barrel behind the fire then destroy
the tables and chairs letting the people out. Destroy the Uruk-Hai then run
into the nearby house a guy on fire should be running out of. Run through the
house then outside to a fight against more Uruk-Hai, but luckily Gandolf is
with you! After the battle is over complete the final house of the level and
you win!
Level Information:
As the Fellowship and Gandolf move on they come across a town in Rohan. The
town is swarming with attacking Uruk-Hai and people are desperately trying to
flee, it is uncertain if this town will survive much longer, but the
Fellowship and Gandolf will slash through the Uruk-Hai.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= The Westfold -=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Recommended Character: Aragorn
Walkthrough:
This is a very easy mission if you use the explosives to your advantage. What
you want to do is to wait until the Uruk-Hai or Orcs are by an Explosive then
shoot it killing them. There are plenty of explosives around so it's very
easy. The first area is really simple. As the Uruk-Hai come advance up and
take them out with the explosives lying around. After you reach the river
you'll have to fight them without explosives until you reach a townlike area.
Now there are KamiKaze's running through, they are huge Orcs with explosives
attached to them. What you want to do now is to wait until they reach a large
group of enemies and shoot them killing like 5-10 guys. After you've moved
through the town there will be a cutscene of Uruk-Hai advancing.
Once you reach the Uruk-Hai you should notice there are plenty of explosives.
There is two ways to do this, the stupid way of making them all attacking you
by trying to take out a few at once, or the smart way of blowing them all up
by shooting the explosives really quick. Regardless after you've defeated
them go through the gate into another area. This hill that you're at is kind
of tough, first of all you'll want to take out the guys, after a few seconds
KamiKaze's will start attacking you though. My suggestion is to stay in the
back until the KamiKaze's start coming and shoot the KamiKaze's killing
everything. Once only KamiKaze's are coming at you start heading up the hill
taking them out as you go.
At the top of the hill is another village, take care of this village like
you've done to previous ones and head over to the lake where a cutscene will
appear. Wade through the lake the best that you can watching out for incoming
KamiKaze's. When you reach the end shoot one of the explosive holders and the
mission is over!
Level Information:
The Fellowship and Gandolf finally reach the King who was been enchanted to
be weak by Saruman. After a short battle Gandolf despells Saruman's enchant
on the King and they are faced with a hard decision on what to do. After a
short debate they agree to go to Helm's Deep and Gandolf goes off saying look
in the East on the fifth morning. On their way to Helm's Deep the people of
Rohan come across a town in danger, the Westfold. After saving the town they
continue to march on to Helm's Deep.

= Gap of Rohan -=

Recommened Character: Aragorn.
Walkthrough:
This mission is incredibly easy. Kill the two Wargs then continue on into a
field where there is like 5 more. Quickly defeat them as they come at you
with fierce attacks until the boss comes out to "play".
-= Boss Battle: Warg Leader =-
This battle is like the level, incredibly easy. For the most part of the
battle you want to avoid the boss, so basically run around dodging and
blocking their attacks. When they send a Warg after you quickly slash it up
with a few fierce attacks. The only time when you want to attack it is when
its legs are up in the air. After a few times of attacking it the boss should
fall and the battle will be over.
Level information:
Nearing Helm's Deep the people of Rohan are attacked by a group of Wargs. The
battle is short, but a few lives are lost, and Aragorn almost loses his by
falling off a cliff into the water. After another day or so they reach Helm's
Deep.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Helm's Deep: The Deeping Wall =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Recommended Character: Aragorn
Walkthrough:
Because this level is just defending the fortress on a small area I will only
give a basic strategy for the level instead of a walkthrough for it. The main
objective for this level is to keep out the enemies from the fortress until
the level is over. If the meter at the top right of your TV ever gets full
and stays there for awhile you will lose the mission. To prevent this from
happening you need to follow this strategy:
Your main objective is to keep all the ladders down, for if there is no
ladders the enemies cannot come up. Because of this you want to run around
the area kicking ladders down with the X button, you won't really need to
attack enemies that much. The second thing to do is to find out where your
allies are because that's where you will spend the lease time, only going
over there to knock down an occasional ladder because they do not knock them
down for you. If you see that the meter is in the red or high yellow then I
suggest going to the area where your allies aren't and helping taking down
the enemies that will probably be there.
That is basically it for this mission, it is just protect the fortress. It is
a fairly long mission and it isn't that hard if you follow that strategy, if
you don't then the bar will probably overload and you'll lose. There are
three cutscenes in this mission, the first signifies that the mission is 1/4
over, the second signifies that the mission is 3/4 over, and the last is the
end of the mission.
Level Information:
Upon arriving Helm's Deep there is little time for celebration, for an army
of 10,000 Uruk-Hai are advancing towards Helm's Deep. This mission is the
first part of Helm's Deep where they are attempting to stop the Uruk-Hai from
entering the fortress. The end of the mission has a cutscene where a KamiKaze
blows a hole through the fortress and part two begins.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= Helm's Deep: The Breached Wall =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Recommended Character: Legolas
Walkthrough:
The first minute of so of the level is pretty darn easy, just stand back and
shoot the KamiKaze's as they come. After a little bit orcs will start coming
with them, try to destroy the orcs when you shoot the KamiKaze's or take them
all out at once with a Charged Y Attack. Now that enemies start coming your
basic strategy should be to take them out with a Charged Y Attack (where you
hold down Y so your sword or axe turns a different color), or take them out
by shooting KamiKaze's.
Right before the first cutscene several Uruk-Hai will attack you. Use quick
attacks on them instead of the Holding Y trick because after the cutscene ten
or so archers will come at you. If you kill the Uruk-Hai right you will get a
perfect towards the end so you can blow through the archers with fast attacks
:). Shortly after a second cutscene will appear, and a Cave Troll will come
out. To be this guy I suggest charging up the Holding Y attack until your
controller rumbles and let it out on him ^_^. After you beat the Cave Troll
there will be another cutscene where they are pulling the catapult out. This
is the end of the level now and it's a race against the clock. Run up to the
catapult and do your best to take out all the enemies, once it looks like
there is none left go up to the side of the Catapult and start hacking away
with Fierce Attacks. If the wall hasn't taken much damage you will win, if
it's taken too much you'll lose, that's basically how it works... Remember to
take out all three sides of the Catapult too, if you don't you'll never take
out the full life bar.
Level Information:
The Uruk-Hai have broken through, and the villagers are fleeing into the
mountains, you must defend them by not letting the Uruk-Hai get through the
door! This is the second part of the Helm's Deep missions, and it's probably
the hardest. It takes place in the middle of Helm's Deep right after the
KamiKaze blows through a wall, and the villagers are fleeing to the mountains
so they don't die.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Recommened Character: Aragorn
Walkthrough:
The last level! Too bad it's pretty darn hard :(. Like in the last level you
have to protect a door, and there is a boss battle at the end. Unlike the last
level you aren't in a field like area though, it's much like the first level
in that you are on an elevated zone area. Until the first cutscene it will be
just enemies attacking the door, take them out with quick attacks (A) or
fierce attacks (Y). If they aren't paying attention to you, you might want to
charge up Y so you take out like 5-10. After awhile there will be a cutscene,
Legolas is in trouble. Run up to where Legolas is, and take out all the
enemies, then run back down.
After a little bit a guy will yell out "Archers on the Wall". Run back up the
stairs and take them out. Run back to the door after you killed the enemies
on the wall and remain there until there is one last cutscene where there is
two Trolls coming. These guys aren't that tough, Charge up your Y attack and
take them out when your controller starts to vibrate. After you take the
trolls out the game is over!
Level Information:
The last of the three helm's deep missions. This takes place almost to the
end of Helm's Deep, before Gandolf comes. You are protecting the door that
once it is breached Aragorn, the King of Rohan, and a few men charge out of
on horses and kill a ton of Uruk-Hai.

Walkthrough:
This is the secret level in the game so I will not provide anything but a
walkthrough for the level. The tower if filled up of twenty floors, each
progressing in difficulty. You can health only in some floors when you enter
them.
Floor #1: Charge up your Y attack and release. It should kill or knock them
all down. If it doesn't kill them, kill them with a killing move
(R).
Floor #2: Do the Y charge attack again to break the shields of the enemies
then take them out with speed attacks.
Floor #3: Start off with a Y charge attack like before to hopefully kill
them. If it doesn't use bane combo's (B,A,R) to defeat them.
Floor #4: Use a Y charge attack to break their shields and kill them with
bane combo's.
Floor #5: Destroy their shields with a charged Y attack then use Bane Combo's
like before.
Floor #6: Finally some challenge. Be sure to zigzag up to the archers so they
don't hit you and kill them with speed attacks.
Floor #7: Kill the archers with speed attacks and then move to the others and
kill them with fierce attacks.
Floor #8: Zigzag up to the archers, kill them with speed attacks, and use
bane combo's on the Uruk-Hai.
Floor #9: Take out the archers with speed attacks and then the non-archers
with bane combo's.
Floor #10: This floor is quite annoying. Kill the archers first and then kill
the Uruk-Hai's with bane combo's.
Floor #11: Zigzag up to the archers at the side then take them out with speed
attacks.
Floor #12: Not too many archers here, so you probably won't get hit by them,
take them out with fierce attacks and then kill the others.
Floor #13: Zigzag up to the archers, kill them with speed attacks, and kill
the Uruk-Hai with bane combo's.
Floor #14: Kill the archers with arrows then charge up Y and kill the others
easily.
Floor #15: Run up to the archers and kill them with speed attacks and kill
the troll by charging up Y.
Floor #16: Kill the archers with speed attacks and use fierce attacks on the
Uruk-Hai.
Floor #17: Kill the archers with speed attacks and use fierce attacks on the
Uruk-Hai.
Floor #18: Take out the archers and the Uruk-Hai then charge up Y to kill the
troll.
Floor #19: Kill the orcs and archers as fast as you can then charge up Y and
You'll take out the trolls.
Floor #20: Whew! This is a psycho floor. Take out the archers and orcs first
then charge up Y a few times to take out the trolls.

Bosses
':*:' =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ':*:'
=============================================================================
-= Boss Battle: The Watcher =-
The Watcher battle is awkward, but not hard if you know what you're doing.
It will have everything, but it's tentacles under water, and the tentacles
will attack you. Do Not, try to avoid them, or attack back, simply block
thrm with the B button and they'll be up in the air. Run up and slice the
Tentacles, and the head will appear. Shoot the head with an arrow, and
repeat this process. Do this several times and the Watcher will fall, not
too hard huh?
-= Boss Battle: Cave Troll =-
For the first and easier portion of the Battle you want to do a hit and
run style. Run up to the side of him, do a Fierce Attack then run behind
him, then around and repeat this. Doing this will minimize the damage to
that of really small, and soon you will be at portion two of the battle.
After you deal some damage to him there will be a movie and you will run
up on a higher ledge. He will now attack with a chain. Hide behind pillars
and shoot arrows from him. If he destroys the pillar run to another, there
is plenty of pillars. If you run out of arrows there is a arrow fill up
on the right side, and if you start to run low on HP goblins come every
once and a while, when you kill them they will give you a potion. Because
of your good long range (if you're Legolas), you should defeat him rather
quickly ^_^.
-= Boss Battle: Lurtz =-
The first portion of the battle is a lot easier than it seems. Stay your
distance away and shoot him several times with arrows until there is a cut
scence where he picks up an axe type thing. Take out his little minions
now so it's just you verse him. Run behind a statue and make sure he gets
his weapon stuck on it. Now attack him with fierce attacks until he breaks
the statue, now go to a different statue and repeat. If you're good you
might get up a to a perfect and be able to kill him very quickly, if not it
will be a slightly long battle of getting his weapon stuck in a statue and
attacking, then running to another.
-= Boss Battle: Warg Leader =-
This battle is like the level, incredibly easy. For the most part of the
battle you want to avoid the boss, so basically run around dodging and
blocking their attacks. When they send a Warg after you quickly slash it up
with a few fierce attacks. The only time when you want to attack it is when
its legs are up in the air. After a few times of attacking it the boss should
fall and the battle will be over.
