Extra experience: Use a link cable to connect to a Gamecube and
play its version of The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King. For
every level completed on the Game Boy Advanced version, you will have
1000 experience points to add to a character in the Gamecube version.
Easy combo attacks: You can use the C-stick to do quick combo
attacks. C-stick Up and C-stick Down work very well on any creature that
has a shield.
Hidden trailer: Allow the game to idle at the "Press Start"
screen. After a few minutes, a new trailer for the game will play.
Black Gate: There are two checkpoints in this level, but it is
still difficult. First, you will have to defeat a big, black caped
enemy. He is very easy to defeat if you use fierce attacks. Then, you
must defeat six fat Orcs with green health bars above their heads. As
they approach, you will have to fight many Orcs and protect your
friends. Their health bar will be at the top of the screen. When it gets
low, go to them and help them kill the Orcs. When you stand next to your
friend, he will glow and get health. Make sure you stay next to him to
get his health up. After three big Orcs are destroyed, the Orcs will
attack ou from three different directions. Keep helping your friends and
killing Orcs. Once you have killed all six fat Orcs, you will reach a
checkpoint. Three Nazgul will appear. Kill them by shooting your ranged
weapon (arrows or axes). Once all three of them are killed, the level
will end.
Black Gate: Defeating the Nazgul: When you get near the end of the
Black Gate level, you will face three Nazgul warriors. The best way to
defeat them is use the flaming spears. Alternately, play as Legolas at
level 15 and use the Mithril Arrows with the Double Shot.
Get your character's strongest arrows or axes and fire them at the
Ringwraiths. It will require nine arrows or axes.
Use Aragorn's upgrade to light the Nazgul on fire. It kills them
quickly. Throw a flaming spear at one, and they will charge at you. By
doing this, you only have to fight one at a time.
When playing as Gandalf, turn on your shield and go straight to the
middle of the Nazgul. Start using Flames Of Aneron. Use it about three
or four times and the Nazgul will be dead or have very little health
remaining and easily killed by sword or ranged weapon.
When playing as Legolas, use arrows. When playing as Gandalf, use magic.
When playing as Gimli, use axes. However if you are Aragorn, use your
own variety of ranged combat and hand-to-hand combat.
Cirith Ungol: Easy kills: As Sam, wait for someone to knock over
another Orc then run up and quickly kill him. Eliminate them one by one
and eventually get up to the Boss. An easy way to kill him is to keep
throwing pikes at him. Make sure time does not run out while fighting
the Orcs.
When you are fighting the hordes of Uruk-Hai at the bottom of the
staircase leading to the Boss, look for the vats of lava. Use your
invisibility move to sneak up on it. When you think the Uruks are close,
press Action to spill the vats, killing all the Uruks. If there are any
that remain standing, use the flame-tipped pikes.
This level does not have any checkpoints, but has many Orcs. Take Sam
through the level and destroy eighty Orcs. After killing them, you will
have to fight a fat Orc. Use fierce attacks to kill him, then hit the
catapult to kill off the Orcs. Remember to look for buckets of fire to
knock down to kill the Orcs. Also, when you reach bridges that you must
pull down, put them down when Orcs are underneath to kill them.
When you get to a point where you have to climb a ladder, do so, then,
defeat a few Orcs. You will see two barrels with blue rings around them.
Press Action and the barrels will roll down and kill Orcs. Note: If you
want the kills to be Excellent, you must kill a few Orcs before rolling
the barrels.
As you fight your way through the level you will reach a circular room
with lots of Orcs. Use Sam's special ability to become invisible.
Immediately take a right and you will see some stairs. Fight your way to
the top where you will see a rope leading to a chandler hidden in the
shadows. Press Action to cut the rope, killing all the Orcs below. This
will help get a large amount of the 80 required kills.
Crack Of Doom: Defeating Gollum: Gollum is not effected by swords.
You must parry and push him towards the edge. Once you do so, he should
lose his balance and start to fall. He will try to climb back up. At
this time, stab his hands with your killing move. It will take awhile to
defeat eat him.
Go to the edge near the top of the screen and repeatedly parry as Gollum
attacks until he steps back, goes into in an upright position, and
shakes his head at the sky. When he does this, stop parrying and move
out of the way. He will jump to where you were on the edge. Repeatedly
do a speed attack until he starts flailing. Then, do a fierce attack and
when he is hanging on the edge, stab him with the killing move.
Repeatedly do this until he dies.
You tend to take less damage using Speed Attacks against enemies, as
opposed to Fierce Attacks. A lot of times their swords will hit yours
since it is moving so fast, thereby doing little damage. Continually
Speed Attack Gollum and aim him toward the edge. Use Speed Attacks until
he begins to teeter on the edge, then use your Fierce Attack. This will
send him hanging on the edge; use the Killing Move to send him
plummeting. Watch out -- he will be back. Also, you cannot fall off the
platform, but fortunately Gollum can. If you try to fall, you run in
place against the edge, as if there is an invisible wall there. hen
Gollum sits in one place and does a strange shrieking noise, he is
getting ready to attack Frodo. He will either strike you with Fierce
Attacks that you can Parry, or a flying leap that will knock you over no
matter what. You will notice that he alternates these attacks. Dodge out
of his way, then go after him with your attacks.
Escape from Osgiliath: This level is played by Sam. You will meet
many Orcs that are your height. Frodo will help you in some battles.
When you reach a roof, you will have to find shelter so the Nazgul does
not catch Frodo and the Ring. This will happen twice in the level. When
it happens and you find shelter, stay there until the red meter has gone
all the way down. When you get near the end, you will have to fight an
Orc with a green health bar above him. Parry his attacks, then strike
with fierce attacks. Once his shield is broken, the battle will go much
faster. Open the gate to your escape.
When fighting the Orc with the health bar at the end of the level, press
L + R to make Sam invisible. Then, sneak up directly behind the Orc and
press R to stab him in the back. This will kill him instantly.
Kill all the Orc archers at the end first. There will be a single big
Orc that actually can be defeated with a hobbit. Hold back your throwing
knife until you have it behind your hobbit's head before releasing it.
It will break his armor (you will see it fall off). Then, repeat the
move using two or three more knives at full power to kill him.
Enable the "Play as Faramir" code. This level will be easier because his
fierce attack is very strong, and he is faster. You can also use him in
other levels such as Shelob's Lair and Cirith Ungol.
Escape From Osgiliath: Avoiding Nazgul: When the Nazgul arrives,
hide under anything that you can get under. When the Nazgul's life meter
appears, hide.
Escape From Osgiliath: Bypass big Orc: At the end of the level
there is a giant Orc that stands between you and the exit. Instead of
fighting it, hold L + R to use Sam's special ability and become
invisible. Then, run up and turn the crank that opens the gate. If you
need health, do the same thing and grab the health. This is much faster
than fighting the Orc. As long as you get out of the door you will still
complete the level, no matter how many enemies remain.

This is much faster than fighting the Orc. As long as you get out of the
door you will still complete the level, no matter how many enemies
remain.
Escape From Osgilath: Easy experience: After first completing the
game, enable the "Perfect mode", "Invincibility", and "Unlimited
missiles" codes. Use any character in the level. Get to the part where
you have to push down the bell. On your way up, you should see the
Nazgul through the small hole in the wall, and again in a larger hole.
Aim and fire away at it. If you miss, try again as you will have
unlimited ranged attacks. Hold down (pull back your arrow/staff/dagger
etc.) before you shoot to get range. If you have Perfect mode, you
should get 2000 experience points.
When you get to the part where you have to push the bell down, go to the
window first and use your ranged weapon to hit the Nazgul every time it
flies by. You can hit it as many times as desired, as long as you have
ammunition. Every time you hit it, you will receive 2,000 experience
points. At the bottom before the bell, leave the Orcs and when you run
out of daggers, go down and kill an Orc to get more.
Escape From Osgiliath: Defeating Orc in sewer: When you can barely
see the big Orc in the sewer, hold L then hold A until you can see the
sword behind Sam's head. Then, release A and fire. Do this about four or
five times until he is dead.
Minas Tirith Courtyard: Easy completion: Stand off in a corner and
keep blocking. No one will hurt you, or be able to. The Trolls are too
far away; just leave them alone. Eventually, the 200 civilians will get
through. It will just take longer.
Paths Of The Dead: This level may be played as either Aragorn,
Legolas, or Gimli. During the level you will meet multiple dead enemies.
You can easily kill them with fierce attacks, especially the ones
without shields. When you reach the blue fog, your character will move
slowly. Be aware of enemies in the blue fog. The last battle is on a
long bridge on which you will have to kill 35 opponents. After
completing the last battle the level will end and you will unlock The
King Of The Dead level.
After you defeat the King of the Dead, you have to run back through the
level as the whole place comes down on your head. When you get to the
white mists that really slow you down, try facing the opposite direction
and jump backwards. This lets you get through the mist faster.
After you defeat the King Of The Dead and must run through the mist,
most characters will die when the second groups of rocks fall. To get
past this, enable the "Play as Faramir" code. He is faster than the
other three characters. Note: Do not stop running.
If you get lost while escaping the level, find the rats and follow them.
They will lead you to the end.
When you defeat the King Of The Dead, you have to go through blue fog.
An easy way to get through the fog qucikly without being smashed is by
using the speed attack when you have the four hit combo on. You will
take steps twice as fast.
Paths Of The Dead: Defeating the King Of The Dead: When you are
fighting the King of the Dead, make sure you always parry with B. He
will attack with his sword three times, then you can attack by pressing
A. Be careful, as he will strike back after a couple of hits. Once a
dead body appears from of him, he will then strike five times when he is
attacking. After you defeat him, you will have to make a run for it. The
place collapses and you will have to fight the dead to escape. There
will be two fights that you will have to finish quickly, or the place
will fall on you. The last battle (the third one) has your friends with
you. It gives you more time, but if you do not hurry, you will die.
After you finish the final battle, you will escape the Paths Of The Dead
.
When fighting the King Of The Dead, always approach him when you see the
green/yellow/red bar above him (depending on how much damage you inflict
on him) and parry first. In the beginning he will attack three times
(usually with a green bar above him), four times (usually with a yellow
bar above him), and five times (usually when a red bar is above him).
Timing is also a factor. As a rule, you want him to have a yellow or red
damage bar above him by the time he summons "Winds Of The Mountain".
After awhile, the king will set up to use his "Wind Of The Mountain"
attack. You will start behind a rock on the very right side of the
level. If you go immediately, you can make it to the other rock to the
left without taking damage. When the king pauses to recharge, step out
from behind the rock. Then, pour on the ranged attack. If you hurry, you
can get five shots off each time. If done correctly, you can take out a
quarter of his life each time he tries to set up the wind attack. If you
have any skill, he will not be able to use his wind more than twice.
When fighting the King Of The Dead and he goes into his wind attacks
during that time that your are positioned behind a rock, between
attacks, jump out, then fire your range attack repeatedly. Make sure you
get behind the rock again before the wind starts. This is most effective
when playing as Legolas, as he can fire faster than Gimli or Aragorn.
This will prevent you from fighting the dead champions (the dead
soldiers with the green bar above their head) later, which saves time
and life.
When the King Of The Dead sends out his little minions, run all the way
back to where the cliff is located. Once his men appear, they will not
see you. Take out your bow and shoot one. He will start to run towards
you. Fight him, then repeat. Note: A similar strategy also works at
Shelob's Lair.
When playing in co-op mode, have the strongest character fight him while
the other person shoots their ranged weapon from a distance. This will
quickly wear down his health.
Pelennor Fields: The battle will start with killing sixty Orcs and
warriors. Once that is done, you will have to defeat an Oliphaunts. Use
the catapults at the top of the hill, and if that does not destroy it,
you can finish it off with your ranged weapon. After it is destroyed,
quickly run down the hill to the battle field. Do not kill any Orcs or
warriors, as you will not have time. Get to the other hill and go to the
top of it. Another Oliphaunt will appear. Do the same thing as done to
the other one. Once it is destroyed, go to the end of the hill where the
Nazgul is located. Shoot your ranged weapons at it until it goes away.
Another Oliphaunt will appear, and you must destroy it. Make sure you
are on the right side where the Oliphaunt is. Keep repeating this
process until the Nazgul is destroyed to end the level.
When at Pelennor Fields, there will be approximately four Oliphaunts
(after the sixty Orcs are killed). The first one will come on the side
that you are already on. The next one is on the other side. Go down the
path provided to the other side. Note: Do not kill any Orcs or warriors.
Once you get to the other side, destroy that Oliphaunt. The next one is
also on that side. You will know that you are at the correct location if
when the Oliphaunt enters, it fires arrows. It will not do this if you
are on the wrong side. As for the Nazgul, it should appear two times
before it starts taking damage. Fend it off the first two times on the
side that you are already on. After the first time an Oliphaunt should
also appear on that side. Then, for the second time, the same thing
should happen. Finally, go to the other side. The Nazgul will appear
vulnerable to ranged attacks. Note: It may go away on the third time;
just stay on that side.
On your first trip through, play as Legolas. His archery skill is useful
and allows you to become familiar with the level with minimum damage.
When taken to the cliff top at the checkpoint, charge to the left to a
Mumakil that is going by. Parry for a few seconds, as there are quite a
lot of arrows coming in. Take the Mumakil down. Run down the ramp to
your right, and wait for the enemy army to pass out of sight. Rush
across in as straight a line as you can to the other ramp, ignoring any
enemies that come at you. Once you are up the ramp, run to the right.
Your companions will usually keep any other Orcs/Easterlings behind you
busy, but be on your guard. The Mumakil moves slowly, so you will have
time to dispatch a few annoying enemies before it reaches the other end.
Once the Mumakil is down, rush to your left as far as you can before the
intermission sequence begins. The Witch King is swooping down over Eowyn
and Merry. Continue left and use combos and/or Fierce Attacks to bring
down the charging Easterling then run as far as you can to the edge of
the platform. Shoot frequently, charging when you can, at the Fell
Beast. If you are lucky, and your companions keep enemies busy behind
you, you can kill the Fell Beast in one session.
Road To Isengard: As Gandalf, you will encounter many Uruk-Hai.
You will easily kill them with your attacks. When you reach the part
where Ents are killing Orcs, you will join the battle and must wait
until 75 Uruk-Hai are dead. After this, your journey will continue. When
you reach to group bunch of towers, destroy all of them by shooting your
ranged weapon at the explosives under the towers. Once they are
destroyed, you will keep going on until the end. At the end you must
help destroy the wall that is blocking the water from coming out and
wiping out all of Isengard. Kill any Orc that approaches by the Ent and
let him break the wall. Once he does this, you will have finished the
level.
Road To Isengard: Killing Orcs: When you get to the part where you
have to kill 75 Orcs, there is a small crack that you can hide in while
the three Ents kill all the Orcs. There are some that will stop at the
opening where the Orcs appear. You can just kill with your ranged
attacks.
When you get to the part where you have to kill 75 Orcs, stay on the
ridge and let the ents kill them then move on.
Shelob's Lair: Easy experience: When you get to the part where Sam
says "I can't get by this", fight all the Orcs. Once you have finished,
go to the top of the ridge where you push off the rocks. Push the rock
and the Orcs will be there, giving you more experience.
Shelob's Lair: Easy Perfect mode: To get perfect mode easily, use
speed attacks repeatedly on the little spiders. This will raise your
Perfect meter quickly while in a pack of the spiders.
Shelob's Lair: Defeating Shelob: When fighting Shelob, be aware
that she can deal a lot of damage to you. To defeat her, press Parry to
deflect her attacks. Then at the correct moment, hit her with your speed
attacks. When you cut off one of her legs, she goes on a big rampage.
Jump back to back off her rampage. Note: This also works in co-operative
mode.
To easily defeat Shelob, make sure that you have the move "Poison Blade"
before entering this level. Charge the move up when Shelob backs away,
then strike when she approaches. This will make the battle go much
faster.
Use Legolas and run directly up to Shelob. Start using your speed
attack. She will turn around, but keep slashing. Her health will drop
dramatically.
When the battle starts, Shelob is preoccupied with Frodo, so you can get
a free hit on her. Use this to your advantage and attack with the Orc
Hewer combo, This is recommended, as using a 4-hit combo will end up
with you damaged. She will start hitting you three times in a row. Parry
those hits, then respond with a simple Speed combo. Do not bother with
other combos (even Orc Hewer), because trading blows with Shelob is
tricky; she will strike quickly then pause, but the lull is only long
enough to get a very quick combo in. Orc Hewer is slower to develop.
Keep trading hits (remember to parry as well) then, after enough damage,
you will succeed in putting out one of Shelob's eyes. Shelob will crawl
up the wall and summon some spiders. They will drop from the sky. When
you see one of them flying down, go to where it will land and start
using Final Judgement to kill it. Then, run to one of the walls. If one
of the spiders does not follow you, use a ranged attack to get its
attention. Then, on the spider, use a Fierce attack, then the Death move
to kill it. Repeat this with all of the spiders. Do this quickly, as if
you take too long Shelob will jump from the wall and you will need to
deal with her and the other spiders as well. When Shelob jumps down, she
will be flat for a few seconds; use another Speed combo. Then, she will
trade blows with you again. If you do not damage her enough, she will
call more spiders. Damage her quickly. If you hurt her enough, you will
cut off half of her leg. She will then run around her lair and try to
run you over. You cannot parry this; run away. She will then call more
spiders. Repeat the same process. She will then trade blows with you;
repeat again. Repeat this entire process until she is dead.
Shelob's Lair: Defeating spiders: To kill a spider easily, press Y
to flip it over then press R to stab.
Shelob's Lair: Defeating Orcs: You can defeat a lot of the Orcs
before you enter the next area. For example, after you burn the spider
web and go through it, you will see an Orc meeting at the end of the
tunnel. Go back to the torches and pick one up. Even though you cannot
see far ahead, throw it in that direction. Amazingly, you will strike
every time. You can clear up the room before you even enter it. Just
throw the torch and you will hear the "hit" sound. This will also work
with the archers in the left tunnel ahead. Fire will be useful if you
use it to clear your way ahead, even if you cannot see your enemy. It
seems that Sam has great aim.
Southern Gate: This level is not too difficult. A Troll will be at
the start the level. Kill him using fierce attacks and your ranged
weapons. Once he is dead, kill some Orcs and make your way to the
catapults. The two on the left side will shoot toward the gate to create
a bridge for you. Once you shoot them, go across the bridge to the
ladder leading you up towards the top of the gate. A Troll is waiting
for you there. Kill him, then an elephant will appear. Kill it by
shooting at the top part of it. You will know that you have destroyed it
when it explodes. Open the gate after the elephant. Orcs will block you
from getting out. Destroy them by dumping the coal over their heads. Go
back down once they are destroyed and get out of there before more Orcs
arrives. The level ends when you go through the gate.
At the very beginning of the level, when you walk up to the gate a Troll
will drop down. In co-op mode, have one person near the pikes and have
the other player walk up the gate. When the troll comes down, have the
person by the pikes press Action and throw the pike at the Troll. It
will be killed automatically. This helps save health.
Southern Gate: Easy experience: Complete all the tasks until you
have the gate open. Do not go through the gate. Just fight all the
creatures you can as they keep respawning. Try to use combos to get into
Perfect mode then most of the enemies are worth 300 experience points.
When you cannot fight anymore, leave. Some small creatures give out red
health potions, allowing you to fight for a long period of time.
As soon as you step on the drawbridge, you are ambushed by Orcs and a
Troll. Quickly run from the Troll and shoot the catapults. Once this is
done, do not go up on top of the gate. Kill all the surrounding Orcs.
Travel down as far as you can from the catapults (not towards the gate).
Once you have gone as far as you can, turn and run left. When you cannot
go left anymore, there should be an area where Orcs are appearing. Keep
killing them with arrows before they reach you, and they will eventually
stop. Then travel to the right until you see another area where they are
appear from. Destroy them all here until they stop. Then, travel to the
right some more and do the same thing. In all, there should be four
different Orc spawning locations. When they stop coming from all of
these, they will no longer appear.
If you have already completed the game, you can go to the Southern Gate
level with a character that has a low level (for example, Merry). When
you are fighting the Orcs, stay there and keep fighting them as much as
needed. When your health gets low, use the "Health" command and restore
it.
At the end of the level after you have opened the gate, do not use the
pots to kill the extra Orcs. Instead, go down and fight them by hand. By
doing this you will gain about 2,000 more experience points.
Let the Troll jump off. Throw a spear at it. Hopefully you will have
every Bane. If you do, keep using them and you will rank up the
Perfects. It takes about ten minutes for the Orcs to die down. Once all
of them are dead, fire all catapults. Then, go up to where the Troll is
located. Use a Bane, then quickly kill the Troll while still in Perfect
mode. Use the same approach with the Mumakil. Pull open the gate. Then,
use another Bane, and pour the vats of oil over onto the Orcs. Run
through the gate. You should gain about three levels if you are at a
high level.
This level can get you a lot of experience points, since there are so
many enemies. With the larger kind of enemies (not troll) press A(3),
then when they are in mid-air, press Y. Note: This was done with Aragon
and Faramir.
Southern Gate: Defeating Trolls: As soon as you step on the
drawbridge, a giant Troll will appear. Go back a few steps and pick up
the spear. Throw it at the Troll and it will die instantly.
Use the following trick to defeat the Troll at the top of the walkway.
When you run up the ladder, do not go up all the way on the platform
with the Troll. Stand behind the small wall and use a ranged attack. The
Troll cannot reach you, though he will swing at you. The Orcs and other
enemies cannot get past him and also cannot hurt you. It takes a few
shot to bring down the Troll, but you will not be injured.
Southern Gate: Endless enemies: Contrary to popular belief there
is not an endless supply of enemies in this level. Although it may seem
like the Orcs will not stop appearing, there are actually about 300 to
400 enemies.
Southern Gate: Easy experience: To get your character to level up,
play the Southern Gate level repeatedly.
Walls Of Minas Tirith: Courtyard: When playing as Gandalf and you
have his lightning attack and see a pack of Orcs coming at you, press Y
to charge your lightning attack. Wait until they get close enough, then
release Y. This attack will knock down the Orcs and put you into Perfect
mode. Do this multiple times until you have completed the level.
This level is difficult if you have not completed the game. You have to
keep fighting with Gandalf until you have saved two hundred people. The
level will start with twenty already safe, but many Orcs will try to
kill the free people. Trolls will appear during the end of the level. To
kill them, press Z to get a spear and throw it at them. They will die
automatically. Once two hundred people are saved, the level will end.
Walls Of Minas Tirith: Siege towers: Destroy the first siege tower
with the catapult near the middle of the wall. It requires two hits to
topple. For the second tower that rolls over to the far right, you can
just use your projectiles to take it out. Keep firing at it in order to
bring it down.
When you have destroyed the third siege tower, go to the fourth one and
kill all the Orcs that are in there until you cannot see any more. Then,
shoot down the siege tower with your arrows. Once that is done, go to
the men that are guarding the stairs. Walk down there to complete the
level.
Walls Of Minas Tirith: Defeating Nazguls: This trick requires a
lot of patience. After taking out all of the siege towers (including the
Boss one), finish off all of the Orcs and wait for a Nazgul to approach.
Once you have him locked, shoot it with your ranged attack. Keep doing
this until it dies and you will get a lot of points. You can also kill
it easier by using Legolas and his double arrow attack.
Walls Of Minas Tirith: Extra experience: Complete Minis Tirith top
of the wall, but instead of going straight down the stairs to the
courtyard, go up the tower to the left of the stairs. At the top are
approximately seven pickups that will give you an extra 1000 experience
points.
At the part where the siege towers are approaching, use the catapult to
destroy the first and third ones. On the third tower. the Nazgul will
come up and swoop. When he does this, use your ranged attacks to kill
it. This will block the way to the other tower. Press R to swing down
the rope, go across the ledge, knock over the other ladder, climb up the
rope, and go to the other tower. Once you have knocked the tower over,
go to the front and go up the stairs to the top of the watchtower. There
will be seven Elven-stones there, giving you 1,000 experience points
each. Then, go back down the stairs and down to the courtyard to end the
level.
Multi-player mode: Double kill: In co-operative multi-player mode,
if one player you starts to do a Bane (Orc, Warrior, or Sauron's Bane),
attack the enemy that the other player is using the Bane on to get two
kills. Note: The other player will get a Perfect while you will get
either a Fair, Good, or Excellent.
Killing enemies: A great way to kill a vast amount of enemies is
to use the speed attack as much as possible while moving frequently. For
example, when surrounded by Orcs, rapidly press A while moving around to
knock enemies to the ground, kill them, and enter into Perfect mode
faster. This is a great strategy to prevent back attacks and when you
are greatly outnumbered.
Outnumbered battles: Do not be a hero. When outnumbered,
immediately press A(3) for speed attacks, then when you have some room,
press Y(2) to use a fierce combo or perform your special moves. Do this
enough times and you will enter Perfect mode.
Defeating the Mountain King: When fighting the Mountain King, play
as Gimli. Parry until he stops attacking you, then speed attack him
three times. Throwing axes at him has no effect.
Defeating champions: When up against Orc, Dead, Easterling, or any
other champion, the easiest way to defeat them is to take advantage of
corners. Rush, parry, and attack the champion back into a corner.
Continue with Fierce Attacks. The champion will not be able to go
anywhere, and will not have enough room to regain balance when knocked
over. Hack away at them, and do not stop. This is especially useful in
the King of the Dead level, when the third Bone Wall appears towards the
end, after the mist. Three champions emerge after the initial battle.
Attract one into the corner back behind and to your right, and hack
away. Do this with all three, and you will save time and health.
To break the champions' armor, charge your arrows to the maximum.
When playing as Sam and you have to fight enemies with green health
bars, use your special ability, move behind them, then use the killing
move. This does not work on Bossesm but can save you if you are low on
health.
Gandalf: Special move: If you are having trouble completing some
of the levels featuring Gandalf, try using his shield special move.
While are playing as Gandalf, press L + R to trigger the shield into
action. This blocks you from a wide range of attacks, including arrows.
You can also move wile using it, however just like Sam's special move it
will slow Gandalf down. You can upgrade this shield (as well as Sam's
cloak) to last longer and be stronger. Note: This may not block all
physical attacks or ranged attacks (for example, an Ent stepping on
Gandalf, a troll falling on Gandalf, or a catapulted rock hitting
Gandalf).
Legolas: Shoot two arrows at once: Complete the game 100% and get
Arrows Of The Valar with Legolas. You will now be able to fire two
arrows at once as Legolas, killing any two Orcs at the same time.
Sam: Special move: Use the following trick if you are having
trouble killing the fat Orcs in levels such as Escape From Osilgiath and
Cirith Ungol. While you are Sam, you can use a special cloaking move
that allows you to become invisible for a short amount of time. You can
activate this cloak by pressing L + R while standing still. While you
have the cloak on, you can use an instant killing move that is very
effective against any Orc, including the fat ones. However, you must use
this while you are close to the Orc that you are trying to kill. Sam is
very slow while he has the cloak on, and it may run out of energy before
you get to your target. With the cloak on, get behind the enemy that you
are attempting to kill, then press R. The Orc will die instantly, but
you will become visible afterwards -- use it wisely. Note: This move
does not work on the boss Orc at the end of the Cirith Ungol level, when
you are trying to get Frodo out of the tower.
Purchasing upgrades: When you have the option to purchase new
skills, make sure you get the skill that allows you longer life, then
purchase skills for the entire team starting at level 2 and working up
to level 8 first.
When purchasing upgrades, always try to get all of the level upgrades
before purchasing the higher level attacks. This is because some attacks
require certain level 2 attacks (for example, Ranger Fury).
Link moves: Learn how to "Link Move" (any special move that
requires you to parry first then followed by the combo move). It will
immediately place you in Perfect mode.
Use spears multiple times: When you pick up a spear and throw it
at an enemy, stand over them and press R to pull it back out and throw
it at another enemy. Note: Once the spear hits the enemy, you only have
a few seconds to perform this maneuver. It will work as long as the
enemy has not disappeared.
Restoring health at checkpoint: When you return to a checkpoint
and your life is low, find an enemy and let him kill you. When asked you
if you want to try again, answer "Yes". You will start off where you
were with full health.
Easy experience: Use the following trick to level up the hobbits.
After Palantir of Sauron or Saruman is unlocked, choose one of them in
cooperative mode. Select two of the hobbits, then enable the
"Invincibility" and "Perfect mode" codes. At the end of the level, both
characters should have gained two to three levels.
An easy way to get to Perfect mode is to use Orc Bane, Bane Of Saruman,
or Warrior Bane.
To get perfect mode, use Orc Hewer many times. You will soon enter
Perfect mode.
Rapidly press L + R with Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, or Faramir (as a
special ability). After a red glow appears, attack an Orc or two. You
should get Perfect mode very quickly.
Knock Orcs off ladder: Charge up by holding Y. When you see an Orc,
release Y. You will see the Orc falling off the ladder. |
