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.

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. |
