It is very useful, especially when you do not know where to go. There will usually be an orange flashing dot that shows you the next place you should go to. You can toggle the size of the map by pressing the Square button on your controller. ------------- |Levelling Up | ------------- When a character has accumulated enough Experience Points after battle, they will level up, and will gain Stat Points which allow you to increase your character's stats. Press Triangle to access the menu. Select Stats, and then the player which has the Level Up symbol next to his/her name. You can then choose the Stats that you wish to level up. ------- |Skills | ------- Each character can gain skill points when they use their skills. Each time they use a skill, they gain skill points. If they miss the enemy, they will NOT gain a skill point. After they gain enough skill points, they will learn the new skill that has been set under the menu page. For example, if you set Berethor to learn Orc Bane under his Sword Craft (skills menu), each time he uses his Guardian Strike, he will gain 1 Skill Point that will go towards the total needed to learn Orc Bane. However, it differs for Passive Skills. You get 1 point towards the Passive Mode skills each time you level up. It works the same way for Perfect Mode. View [SKI] Skills section for some tips on how to gain skills quickly as well as a more in-depth look at each character's skills. -------------------- |Restoring AP and HP | -------------------- Each time you save your game, your AP and HP is restored. Every time your character levels up, the AP and HP for that character is also restored. --------- |Treasure | --------- You can find treasure in chests or after defeating enemies in battle. --------------------- |Switching Characters | --------------------- If you have more than 3 characters in your party, press L1 during battle to switch characters. Try and use all the characters during battle, otherwise the character that is not used will only get half the Experience Points. ------------- |General Tips | ------------- Each chapter is divided into many different smaller quests. Some are optional, others are compulsory. It is my advice to complete all of them, as the character that is currently walking around will gain Experience Points. Note: You can change the character that is travelling around by pressing L1. Thus you can spread out the Experience Points gained from quests between different characters. =============================================================================== [CHA] Characters =============================================================================== --------- |Berethor | --------- You begin the game with this player. He is a Gondor Scout when you first begin the game. ------- |Idrial | ------- She joins your party almost at the very beginning. She is an elf. She's a Lothlorien Scout when she first joins your party. -------- |Elegost | -------- Elegost is a Ranger Scout. Joins your party in the Eregion chapter. ------- |Hadhod | ------- A dwarf. Joins your party towards the end of the Eregion chapter. He is an Erebor Warrior. ------- |Morwen | ------- She joins your party in the Plains of Rohan chapter. She is the Royal Guard Captain. ------- |Eadoen | ------- He is the Royal Guard Captain. He joins your team towards the end of the Plains of Rohan Chapter. =============================================================================== [WAL] Walkthrough =============================================================================== -------- |Eregion | -------- 'This largely uninhabited land lies south of Rivendell, and passage to the east is blocked by the towering Misty Mountains.' This game begins with Gandalf telling the story that has become so familiar to us all, the start of The Lord of the Rings movie; how the ring was created as well as the wars fought to obtain the ring. You start the game as a player named Berethor, fighting two Nazghul. It does not matter whether you choose to attack, taunt or skip your turn, as the two enemies are invincible. You are saved by an elf lady named Idrial, who joins your party. This will begin your first quest. [E1] Journey to the Elf Outpost ================================ 'Follow the female Elf to an outpost defended by Rivendell Elves. Here you should find equipment and potions to heal your wounds.' You will receive notification that you have received an Epic Scene. You can view these scenes by going to the menu bar, and selecting the Scenes option. Here, you can view the different scenes you have found. When you regain control of Berethor, follow the path until you come to a chest which contains a 3rd Age Gondorian Scouting Shield (Berethor's shield). Equip the shield, and move on. In the large area slightly further on, there is a chest containing a 1st Age Galadhrim Spirit Warding Pendant for Idrial. As you walk, Berethor will tell Idrial that he is looking for Boromir of Gondor. She will reply, and then your party will be attacked by Orcs. After the battle, follow the path until you come to a save point. There is a chest to the left of the save point. Enter the door to the right of the save point. After you enter the door, you get a notification that you have completed the quest "Journey to the Elf Outpost". [E2] Collect Elf Artifacts =========================== 'Galadriel's people crafted many great artifacts and weapons containing ancient powers. Collect these to keep them from Orc hands' There are several chests in the room, one of which contains Gondorian Steel Citadel Guard Pauldrons (Berethor). Equip it and move out of the room. View the cut scene and move on. This will begin yet another quest. [E3] Defend the Elf Caravan ============================ 'Isengard Orcs have been sent by Saruman to slaughter Elves who travel these roads. Save at least one Elf from these creatures.' You will receive a new Epic Scene - Betrayal. There is a room to the left containing a 2nd Age Elven Silver Tiara of Eriador for Idrial. As you follow the path, you will meet a group of Orcs. After defeating them, you will receive a 3rd Age Elven Gold Plated Fauld (Idrial) and a 3rd Age Steel Ithillien Long Sword (Berethor). This will also complete the 'Defend the Elf Caravan quest'. There is a new Epic Scene - The Power of Galadriel. There are two new quests now. [E4] Rescue at Caradhras Pass ============================== 'Find your way to the Pass of Caradhras and search for survivors of recent attacks. Rescue anyone you find still alive.' [E5] Hunt the Wild Men ======================= 'Help the Dunedain Rangers by hunting down raiding bands of Wild Men from Dunland. Shatter three war bands to drive them back.' There are 3 Warbands that you have to defeat before you can complete this quest. Go to the left area, where you will find two chests. A party of wild men will attack, after defeating them you will have defeated the 1st group of Warbands. Now go to the right area. Both of the dead ends have chests, and you will have to fight the remaining two groups of Warbands. This will complete the 'Hunt the Wild Men' quest. Return to the junctions and go straight. Follow the path until the next save point and save your game. You will view another cut scene. A new player, Elegost, will join your team. You have to fight a wolf now, but it should be fairly easy to defeat. After you defeat it, the quest 'Rescue at Caradhras Pass' will be completed. You will receive an Epic Scene - The Dunedain. A new quest will begin. [E6] Hunt all Warg Packs in the area ===================================== 'Help the Dunedain Rangers by scouring these roads of marauding bands of Isengard Wargs. Kill all packs of these creatures.' There are 3 Warg Packs you have to hunt for and kill. Take the junction to the left. At the dead end area, there is a chest and the first Warg Pack. Turn around and go the other way. Follow the path from there and you will meet the 2nd Warg Pack. After killing the 2nd Warg Pack, I obtained a 3rd Age Havens Steel Long Sword (Idriel). The path will split into two. Take the left path and you will do battle with the last Warg Park. This will complete the 'Hunt all Warg Packs in the area' quest. Go straight around the path, don't take any junctions to the left or right until you come to the end of the path. Now, go to the right. View a short cut scene, and that will bring you to the next quest. [E7] Find an Elf Healing Altar =============================== 'Many ancient ruins contain remnants of Elven Power from earlier ages. Go to one of these Altars so the Ranger may be healed.' [E8] Follow Fellowship to Moria ================================ 'Search for signs Gandalf's fellowship traveled throughout Moria. Evidence of their passage means they will reach Moria.' Follow the path until you come to a loop. Take the closer path, it will lead you to a dead end containing a chest with a 3rd Age Lothlorien Ring of Spirit Warding for Berethor. Around the loop, you will view a cut scene and this will complete the 'Follow Fellowship to Moria' quest, as well as receive Scene 8 - The Fellowship's Camp. Return to the loop and take the other path. Follow the path until you reach a save point in the middle of a circle. Go up the stairs to find a chest. Go back down to the save point, and go down the staircase on the left. There is a room on the right with a staircase leading upwards. Go up the stairs and eventually, down the stairs. You will have to battle a party of Orcs. After defeating them, I received a Dunedain Tan Leather Underbraces (Elegost). This will complete the 'Find an Elf Healing Altar' quest. You also receive a new Epic Scene - Spirit Powers. You now have a new quest. [E9] Defend Elf Healing Altars =============================== 'Help the Elves defend their Healing Altars. Journey to three different ruins and defend any Elves who seek respite there.' Ahead of you, there is an Elfstone. That is the 1st of 4 Artifacts for the 'Collect Elf Artifacts' quest. Continue down the path and view the next cut scene. You get an Epic Scene as well - Moria's Past. The next quest wil be... [E10] Reclaim Elrond's Map =========================== 'Find a Healing Altar that has been deflied by the forces of Shadow. Kill any Orcs and recapture Elrond's Map to Moria.' After you reach the grassy area, there is a small path on the right that leads to a dead-end. Here, there is a chest containing a Battered Steel Helm (Berethor). Go up the stairs in the circular area. Defeat the party of enemies (I received a Gondorian Steel Greaves for Berethor) and you will clear 1 of 2 Light Altars from Enemies. Examine the statue to find the 2nd Artifact - Cracked Elfstone of Health Enhancement. Continue along the path until you reach another save point. There is a chest containing a 3rd Age Dunedain Brooch of Armor (Elegost) beside it. Go a bit further, and you'll have to fight another party of Orcs (I got a 3rd Age Elven Gold Plated Chestplate for Idrial after defeating them). The defeat of this party results in the completion of the 'Defend Elf Healing Altars' quest. Examine the statue in front to find the 3rd artifact - Cracked Elfstone of Water Protection. Go further until you reach another save point. The junction on the right contains chests with healing items and a 3rd Age Lothlorien Spirit Calling Pendant for Idrial as well as a Dunedain Wool Ranger Cloak for Elegost. Return to the save point and take the other path. Follow the path and you will enter a fight with some Orcs (I received a 2nd Age Elven Golden Tiara of Earendil for Idrial). You receive an Epic Scene - Saruman's Trap. This will complete the 'Reclaim Elrond's Map' quest as well as begin a new quest. [E11] Find Hadhod the Dwarf ============================ 'Follow Elrond's map toward Moria Lake and search until you find Elegost's Dwarven friend, provided he survived the earlier battle'. Examine the statue in front and you will find the 4th Elven Artifact - Cracked Elfstone of Armor Enhancement, and complete the 'Collect Elf Artifacts' quest. Return to the save point and save your game. From here, go to the other junction. Save your game at the next save point. Follow the direction of the orange dot, and view the next cut scene. You will automatically enter a battle with a Cave Troll. For the first time, you will have more than three characters to use during battle. Press L1 (for PS2) to switch characters. I received a Dwarven Boiled Leather Pauldrons as well as a Dwarven Black Iron Helm for Hadhod. This completed the 'Find Hadhod the Dwarf' quest. You receive a new Epic Scene - The Dwarf. Equip the new equipment and open the chests in front of you. A new quest has begun. [E12] Find Moria's West Gate ============================= 'Use your map to search near the lake. It might reveal a hidden doorway, the only way to enter these ancient ruins.' Return to the save point and take the other junction (follow the orange dot). You will go up a windy path until the next save point. Walk past the save point, and you will have completed the 'Find Moria's West Gate' quest. Walk just a bit further, and you will be attacked by a creature in the water. It is too far away to attack normally, so use Elegost to shoot arrows as well as the Spirit Powers of Idrial and Hadhod. After you defeat the creature, you will enter the mines of West Moria. You also receive an Elfstone of Nimble Crafting which will allow the character you equip it to, to be able to create items during battle. Congratulations! You have just completed 100% of Eregion's Chapter. ----------- |West Moria | ----------- 'Behind a hidden gateway ancient, abandoned mines and galleries are rumored to still hold many lost treasures of the Dwarves.

You will also receive a new Epic Scene - Moria Today. Continue along the path until you come to a watery area. You will be attacked by the Watcher here. After defeating it, I received Dunedain Layered Leather Overbraces and 1st Age Erigion Brooch of Weapon Warding for Elegost. You also receive a new Epic Scene - THe Watcher's Lair.

[WM3] Locate Moria's Great Pit =============================== 'This ancient Dwarf map reveals that the path around the Great Pit of Moria may be the only way out of the underground mazes.' Continue along the path, until you face another battle. I received a 3rd Age Iron Cutlass of Isengard (Berethor) after winning this battle. There is a chest on the right. After you open it, you receive an Epic Scene - The White and Grey Wizards. Walk further until you come to a large area. Examine all the little nooks and crannies, I found a Elven Steel Scouting Vambraces (Idrial), a Cracked Elfstone of Fire Protection, the 2nd Rune, a Gondorian Steel Citadel Guard Helm (Berethor) and the 3rd Rune. When you open the chest containing the 3rd Rune, you will also receive an Epic Scene - The Moria Horde. As you make your way forward, you receive an Epic Scene - Camping at the Crossroads. Now you are at a three way junction. The path on the left leads you to a chest containing the 4th Rune.

On the far right corner, there is a chest containing a 3rd Age Steel Long Sword of Arnor. Return to the place with all the junctions and take the middle path. Along the straight and narrow path, do battle with a goblin and receive a 3rd Age Dwarf Belt Buckle of Moria Iron for Hadhod as well as an Epic Scene - Cleaning West Moria.

You also receive an Epic Scene - Inhabitants of the Mountain. Move forward until you view the next cut scene, in which you will find a key, and then face a party of goblins. In this battle, you will lose one member of your party. This depends on who you did not use in the last battle. Use Idrial's Haste of Elves skill to hasten your strongest player, and then attack! You gain a 3rd Age Dwarven Steel Battle Axe for Hadhod and a Gondorian Steel Citadel Guard Chestplate for Berethor after the battle. You have now completed the 'Locate Moria's Great Pit' quest and are given a new quest. [WM4] Find the Book of Secrets ================================ 'Now only the lost Book of Secrets can reveal a way out of Moria. Search for the Throne Room to see if it holds a clue.'

At the circular-ish area near the save point, look for a chest under some wooden construction. You will receive an Epic Scene - Key to the Book of Secrets.

You can now open this chest which contains the Dwarven Velvet Hauberk and the Dwarven Velvet Tabard for Hadhog. You also get a new Epic Scene - His Balrog Spells. Now, go around all the walls of this room to find a hidden door. It is slightly to the left of the area. Idrial will speak in a different language, and the door will open. You receive a new Epic Scene - Dwarrowdelf. There is a chest on the right containing 3rd Age Silverlode Raging Waters Pendant for Idrial. Go to the end of the room where there is a save point.

Further up, on the left, there is another chest that contains a Cracked Elfstone of Blunt Defense. Pass through the door. Save your game at the Save Point.

[EM10] Find Lorien's Golden helm ================================== 'Somewhere in Moria a Golden Battle Helm awaits the Elves of Lorien, lost payment for safe Dwarven passage beneath the trees.' Examine the glowing light to receive a 3rd Age Elven Gold Plated Greaves for Idrial and a 3rd Age Moria Goblin Shortbow for Elegost. This will complete the 'Find the Goblin bow' quest. Find the next save point, and save your game. I was attacked by 2 trolls at once a bit further on. After you enter the next room, you will complete the quest 'Reach the Bridge of Khazad-dum' and receive an Epic Scene - The Great Bridge. Walk forward to view a cut-scene. Immediately after the cut scene, you will enter a battle with a couple of Cave Trolls. After defeating them, the quest 'Kill Nine Trolls of Moria' is completed. There is a chest nearby containing a 3rd Age Dwarven Battle Shield of Moria and a 3rd Age Elven Gold Plated Battle Helm, which completes the 'Find Lorien's Golden Helm' quest. You have now completed 100% of the East Moria chapter. My advice is to go back to the save point and save, as you have a tough battle coming up. You will be doing battle with the Balrog, however, you will gain a new character, Gandalf. He is very powerful, use his Bolt of Valar to deal 5000+ damage each time. His Wizards Drain will drain the Balrog of AP and restore some to your party. If your health is down, use Ent Draught Flask on the party, which will restore greater Health to all, or Kingsfoil Leaves, which will restore a smaller amount of Health Points. Here's a strategy which was emailed to me by Matt McCrady. **************************************************************************** I don't know if this works the same for everyone, but by the time I defeat the two final cave trolls, I have built up my attack meter to Perfect, ad I leave it there for the battle with the Balrog. After defeating the trolls save my game, as you advise, and then I go into battle. I use my first few turns this way. I use the Morgul Decay item to remove the Balrog's armor--whether this does any good, I can't tell, but at least I do not get the message that Balrog is "Immune" to it. I use Berethor to increase the company's "Might." I use a "Defy Fire" vial on Gandalf. And then finally, I unleash my "Perfect" attack. I use the "Fell Clawing" attack. The arrow volley does not do enough damage, and the Balrog is immune to the attack in which the Ent throws a boulder. After all this, the Balrog usually gets a turn. Sometimes he wipes out my band of Merry men with the Roaring Inferno, sometimes he just uses the sword or whip on Gandalf. Anyway, at some point everyone but Gandalf is going to be dead. I usually revive only Idriel at first. It is important to keep at least one other character alive in order to keep Gandalf alive. Idriel is best because she can use the "Gift of Galadriel" to heal Gandalf. Her water attack is also very potent against the Balrog. These two facts make her more indispensable than the other members of the party. The battle usually goes back and forth at this point, with Gandalf using the light of the Valar to strike the Balrog, and the Balrog repeatedly killing either Gandalf or Idriel. It's important to keep Gandalf healed enough that both characters don't die at the same time. Eventually, the Balrog will have used or been drained of enough Attack Points that he can only use the whip or sword, which greatly increases one's odds of winning. At this point, I revive other members of the party. Elegost is good because ranged shots seem to be the only thing that does any damage to the Balrog. Reviving him and Berethor, though, is really nothing more than a delaying tactic to give Gandalf and Idriel time to take deal some serious damage to the Balrog. I usually use Berethor and Elegost only for using "Items" to heal the party or deliver attack points to the party. Sometimes I attack with Elegost, though. Once you've got all four members of the party revived, and the Balrog is only striking with whip or sword, you've got the upper hand. I usually enter the battle with 30 Elf Medicines, and I use lots of them. You can revive and revive and revive until eventually you win just by continually reviving until Gandalf can deal enough damage to win. **************************************************************************** Another strategy from someone who emailed me: **************************************************************************** Use Hadhod's Endure Flames then cast his stone shield. Idrial should be alive to heal...you should cast the shield on her. **************************************************************************** After you defeat the Balrog, you will enter East Emnet Gullies. You will receive Epic Scene 36 - 38. After I completed the chapter, I noticed that Scene 31 was missing, so I went back to East Moria to search for it. As soon as I entered East Moria, there was a shining light in front of me. Examine it to get Gondorian Steel Captain's Guard Pauldrons for Berethor and an Epic Scene - The Fellowship's Passage Here. ------------------- |East Emnet Gullies | ------------------- 'The great Anduin River flows south, past steep uninhabited gullies that finally open upon the vast green expanse of Rohan.' At the save point in the beginning, there is a chest containing an Ithillien Wool Ranger Cloak for Elegost on the left. Move forward and view a cut-scene and receive Epic Scene - Boromir has Fallen. A new character, Aranel, will join your party. Enter a battle against several Uruk-hai. After defeating them, Aranel will ask you to find his elves. This begins several new quests. [EEG1] Everybody's Grudge ========================== 'An Old Warg has been ravaging these lands for years. Her killing has gone unchecked for generations and now it is time that it came to a stop.'

Move back to the starting junction (assume the original save point is behind you). From here, I went to the right. Somewhere along the way, I fought a battle with a group of Orcs, receiving a Gondorian Steel Captain's Guard Helm for Berethor and Epic Scene - Tree Guardians. Somewhere before the junction, on the left, there is a chest containing 3rd Age Dwarven Steel Mortising Axe for Hadhod. At the junction, turn right. View the next cut scene, and a batle with a large Warg will begin. After defeating the Warg, I received a 3rd Age Fangorn Steel Falchion for Idrial. This completes the 'Everybody's Grudge' quest.

A battle with a group of Orcs will begin immediately after that. Turn left to find a save point. This will also complete the 'Locate the Rohan Outpost' quest. You will receive an Epic Scene - War Comes to Rohan. Continue until you reach the end of the path, there is a chest containing a 3rd Age Rohan Infantry Shield for Berethor. Turn around and go straight ahead. You will face a battle with some Orcs and an Uruk-hai. I received a 3rd Age Rohan Shortbow for Elegost after the battle.

Near the save point, there is a chest containing a 3rd Age Rohirrim Brooch of Fortification for Elegost. Further on, you will enter a battle with a group of Uruk-hai after which I received Gondorian Steel Citadel Guard Vambraces for Berethor. Go to the end of the path, and you will enter a battle with a group of Uruk-hai. I received a 3rd Age Dwarf Belt Buckle of Moria Mithril for Hadhod after the battle. This will complete the 'Liberate the Stockade' quest. Just around the corner, there are 3 chests containing 3rd Age Elven Gold Plated Vambraces for Idrial and a 3rd Age Steel Fountain Guard Long Sword for Berethor. Move out of the windy path, and head towards the left, towards the orange dot. View the cut scene, and then fight the following battle with a group of Uruk-hai. This will complete the 'Save the Rohan Soldier' quest and the 'Break out to Rohan's Plain' quest. You have now completed 100% of the East Emnet Gullies chapter. ---------------- |Plains of Rohan | ---------------- 'Rohan's vast territory offers little natural defense, forcing its scattered villages to look to their skilled horse warriors for protection.'

Find these Riders and pass on Gandalf's request for them to head to Helm's Deep.' You receive an Epic Scene - Gandalf and Galadriel's Plan, at the star of the chapter. Move forward past the save point and view a cut scene. After that, you will be plunged into another battle (I received a 3rd Age Rohan Steel Long Sword for Berethor and Epic Scene - Old Hatreds). The female villager will ask you to save the warrior in the village. [PR4] Save the Warrior ======================= 'There is a Warrior in the nearby village. Help this Warrior defeat the attacking enemies.' Enter the village and you will have a tough battle with some Orcs. Morwen will join your party for the first time (I received a Rohirric Scouting Helm for Morwen). This completes the 'Save the Warrior' quest. She will give you a new quest. You will also receive Epic Scene - Morwen's History. [PR5] Morwen's Family ======================= 'Morwen's family has fled their village and their whereabouts are unknown.

Along the way, I had a battle with some Orcs and Wargs after which I received a 3rd Age Jagged Scimitar of Dunland for Berethor as well as an Epic Scene - Big Friends. To the left, is a chest containing 2nd Age Elven Steel Greaves for Idrial, to the right, a chest containing Waters of Gladden, and straight ahead, a chest containing Cracked Elfstone of Slashing Defense. Return to the previous screen, and turn right at the junction. Go straight and head for the dead end which contains a chest with an Ithilien Wool Captain's Cloak for Elegost. Turn around and head for the nearest orange dot. This completes the 'Riders on the West side of the Warg hive' quest. You also receive an Epic Scene - Riding to Edoras. This will start another new quest. [PR6] Riders near Edge of Fangorn =================================== 'A large group of Riders of the Mark have set up camp near the edge of Fangorn Forest. Find these Riders and relay Gandalf's request for them to head to Helm's Deep.' Move forwards to the next screen until you see a battle-like structure. You are not able to enter this structure yet, so take the other route back to Morwen's village. Keep to the right, towards the orange dot. This will complete the 'Riders near Edge of Fangorn' quest. Turn around to go back and you will view a cut scene. You will receive an Epic Scene - Angry Huorn Trees. Make your way back along the path. Follow the direction of the orange dot and you will cross a bridge. As you cross, you will battle Orcs, after which I received a 2nd Age Elven Steel Chestplate for Idrial and an Epic Scene - The Woods Sleep. Further on, battle more Orcs to receive a 3rd Age Uruk-hai Scout Bow for Elegost and a Gondorian Steel Warrior Battle Helm for Berethor. Towards the end of the bridge, there is a battle with Orcs, after which you receive a Gondorian Steel Captain's Guard Chestplate and a 3rd Age Gondorian Ring of the Citadel for Berethor and an Epic Scene - Watching Rohan. View the next cut scene and receive an Epic Scene - Vulnerable Frontier. Save your game at the next save point. There is a new quest and an Epic Scene - War's Grim Purpose. [PR7] Liberate Snowbourne =========================== 'Grima has overtaken Snowbourne Village and now holds it hostage. Make your way to the Great Hall and liberate the village.' As soon as you enter the village, there will be a battle. After defeating the enemy, you receive a new quest from the male villager. [PR8] Reach the Great Hall ============================ 'Hurry to the Great Hall upon the highest ground of Snowbourne village. To reach it you must find levers that open its locked gates.' There is a chest just in front containing a 3rd Age Rohirrim Brooch of Haven for Elegost. Assuming you just came in from the entrance, take the left junction upwards towards the first orange dot. Battle a group of Uruk-hai to receive a Gondorian Wool Captain's Guard Cloak for Berethor and an Epic Scene - Saruman and Theoden. There is a chest containing Gondorian Steel Captain's Guard Vambraces for Berethor near a lever. Press X to activate the lever. Go opposite to activate the second lever. Go down the path and back to the entrance. This time, take the right junction upwards towards the orange dot. Battle with more Orcs and Urul-hai to receive a 2nd Age Elven Steel Battle Helm of Lorien for Idrial. Press X to activate another lever. There is a chest containing a 3rd Age Rohirrim Royal Guard Shield for Berethor nearby. Go back to the entrance and take the left path again, past the gate that is still closed. There are two more levers to activate up here. Battle some wild men to receive a 2nd Age Dwarf Belt Buckle of the Miners for Hadhod as well as an Epic Scene - The Golden Hall and Grima. Now, go back to the gate, which has now been opened. Turn left at the junction. At the bottom of the path, there is a chest containing a 3rd Age Morgul Iron Piercing Axe for Morwen.

This completes the 'Reach the Great Hall' quest. Go inside the hall, and a boss battle will begin. Use Berethor's Leadership skills to your advantage, if you have levelled up enough, this should be no problem. Take out the two Uruk-hai's first before focusing your attacks on Grima. After the battle, I received a 3rd Age Rohan Steel Royal Court Long Sword for Berethor, a Dunedain Chain-Mail Hauberk for Elegost and a 3rd Age Gold Cuisse of Sanctuary for Morwen and an Epic Scene - The Great Test to Come.

Walk straight out and view the cut scene. You willk receive an Epic Scene - Aragorn's Sacrifice. Move forward and view another cut scene. You will enter a battle with a couple of Wargs. Go into the dead end to recover some treasure, the most important being a 3rd Age Rohirric Bronze Felling Axe for Morwen. Follow the path until you come to a save point. Save your game and continue on. You will be attacked by Wargs, but a new player, Eaoden, will join your party. You receive a Rohirrim Banded Leather Helm for Eaoden and a 3rd Age Dread Orc Blade of Mordor for Berethor after the battle as well as an Epic Scene - The Horse and the Rider. Make your way to the end of the path. The first time, I got to the end of the path, and saw the dead bodies scattered around. However, it was like there was an invisible wall, and I couldn't go any further. What I did was to go back and forth from the tunnel to the save point, and the second time, a cut scene began when I reached the last save point. This time, I saw the cut scene between Morwen and her dead family. This completes the 'Morwen's Family' quest. A battle begins right after the cut scene. I received a 3rd Age Steel Long Sword of Eomer's House for Idrial, a Dwarven Boiled Leather Greaves for Hadhod and a 3rd Age Rohirrim Shield of Kings for Berethor after the battle. This completes 100% of the Plains of Rohan Chapter. ------------ |Helm's Deep | ------------ 'This ancient fortress was one of Rohan's major refugees in times of invasion, never having fallen while men defended it.'

Walk forward, there is a chest containing Rohirrim Boiled Leather Jerkin for Morwen near the save point. After saving, you get a notification that you have unlocked a new chapter for Evil Mode. Walk straight ahead, up the stair case. Turn right at the end of the path, and enter the tunnel-like room. You are now in the armory. Examine all the glowing lights to get items, the first light on the left had a Polished Elfstone of Action Enhancement, the second light had Gondorian Steel Fountain Guard Greaves for Berethor, the first light on the right had 2nd Age Elven Steel Vambraces for Idrial and the second light had a 2nd Age Numenorian Longbow for Elegost.

[HD6] Speak with Gimli ======================== 'Find Gimly in the Keep and speak with him. He will know what your chances are in the battle to come.' [HD7] Speak with Aragorn ========================== 'Find Aragorn in the Stable and speak with him. It is rumored he saw the Uruk-hai Army as he rode here.' Exit the armory, and walk straight to the end of the path. Enter the tunnel on the left (near the man standing). Legolas is in the little corner on the left. This completes the 'Speak with Legolas' quest. Walk to the end of the path, there is a chest containing 2nd Age Dwarf Belt Buckle of The Smiths for Hadhod. Now, go down the stairs. In the left area, there is a chest containing a 2nd Age Elven Brooch of Wrath for Elegost. Go to the end of the area, and walk up the stairs. On the right hand area (near the orange dot), there is a chest containing a 3rd Age Mithril Dwarven War Hammer for Hadhod (completes 'Retrieve Helm's Hammer' quest). Go through the tunnel and head towards the room with the curvy sides. Just before you enter the room on the right, there is a chest containing a 3rd Age Rohirric Iron Battle Axe for Morwen. Inside the room with curvy sides, view the cut scene with Gimli. This will complete the 'Speak with Gimli' quest. You also receive an Epic Scene - Saruman's War Plan. Exit the room. In the square area, on the left hand side, there is a chest containing Dunedain Wool Riding Hood for Elegost. Go down the stairs and take the tunnel to the left. On the left hand side, there is a 2nd Age Elven Cuisse of Spirit Warding for Morwen. Go back out again and take the stairs down on the left. Turn left and go down the stairs. Follow the path all the way and there will be a cut scene with Aragorn. This will complete the 'Speak with Aragorn' quest. You will also receive an Epic Scene - Secrets of the Family. You also get a new quest. [HD8] Return to Gamling ======================== 'Return to Gamling in the Armory and learn how you may assist in the defensive preparations. He will need every sword.' Theoden can be found near the two semi-circles in the map. There is an orange dot where he is standing. Move near him and watch the cut scene. This completes the 'Speak with Theoden' quest. You receive an Epic Scene - Helm's Deep Convergence. Go back to the Armory and speak to Gamling, which completes the above quest. Gamling will ask whether you are ready to go to Deeping Wall. Make sure you have saved your game before you answer yes. During the battle, try to knock off the Uruk-Hai Ladders after you have defeated the Uruk-hai standing in front of it, otherwise more Uruk-hai will keep on climbing up. Use Berethor's Stand Fast ability so that you will be immune to the Stagger Strikes. Legolas's Uruk Skewer is very powerful, try and use that as often as you can. Use Idrial to cast Haste of the elves on Legolas, so his attack speed will increase. You can also try stunning attacks such as Elegost's Crippling Shot, Idrial's Stunning Strike, etc. I received a 2nd Age Steel Numenorian Long Sword for Berethor and Minas Tirith Bronze Vambraces for Elegost after the first battle. Make sure your characters are fully healed towards the end of the battle, as they will start the second battle straight after this. The second battle begins immediately after the first. I received a 3rd Age Iron Cutlass of Isengard for Idrial and a 3rd Age Isengard Uruk-hai Battle Shield for Berethor after the second battle. After the third battle, I received a Rohirrim Steel Helm for Eaoden and a Gondorian Steel Fountain Guard Fauld for Berethor. Gimli joins you for the next battle. Use Elegost's Ranger Craft - Arrows of Sleep, this puts all of the Uruk-Hai to sleep, then you can focus on one at a time. Each time you kill the original Uruk-Hai, there will be 4 replacements, one after the other. Eaoden's Rupture Armor skill comes into good use here. After this battle, I received a 3rd Age Iron Uruk-hai Pike and Rohirrim Boiled Leather Vambraces for Eoden. After all the battles, equip your new equipment, upgrade the stats for each character and save the game. You have a new quest [HD9] Aid Aragorn at the Gate =============================== 'Hurry to the Helm's Deep Main Gate and help Aragorn defend it against the Uruk-hai assault.' This is a good time to travel back to other chapters to level up your character's skills. I made sure that each of my characters learnt the Gift of Galadriel skill from the Elfstone of Pure Light, so that they could heal each other during battle. After I had done that, then I returned to Helm's Deep. When you exit the armory, make sure you take the left turning into the semi- circle area as soon as you exit. Examine the glowing lights to get a Rohirrim Boiled Leather Vambraces for Morwen and a 3rd Age Lothlorien Flaming Might Pendant for Idrial. Now, return to the armory and save your game again. This time when you exit, go straight to the end of the path and turn left. Aragorn will join your party for this battle. I recommend using an Arnor Mushrooms for Aragorn, so that he will have unlimited AP. First, have Elegost cast his Arrows of Sleep. Then, let Idrial caste Haste of Elves on Aragorn. Always use Aragorn's most powerful attack. Use Berethor's Leadership Skills as well as the stunning attacks of Idrial (Stunning Strike), Hadhod (Crippling Smash) and Elegost (Crippling Shot).- I received Gondorian Steel Fountain Guard Vambraces for Berethor and Rohirrim Iron Greaves for Eaoden after the battle. Another battle begins immediately between two Uruk-hai's and a troll. Take out the two Uruk-hai's first, as their HP is less. I received a 3rd Age Elven Silver Tiara of the Galadhrim for Idrial and a 3rd Age Silverlode Raging Waters Pin for Eaoden. Yet another battle begins immediately. I found this battle even tougher than the one with Aragon. Get Idrial to cast her Frenzy as soon as you can. Cast Aura of the Valar on herself and one other character (preferably your strongest character). Use Idrial to revive/cast Aura of the Valar as much as possible. She must ALWAYS be in your party. As soon as she dies and revives herself, cast Aura of the Valar on herself yet again so that she will auto-revive the next time round. You have to get this rhythm correct. Use your characters double skills so that they can always take two turns at one time. Then use their most powerfull attacks. Use Berethor's Stand Fast Skill to avoid the Staggering Attacks together with Eaoden's Armor Rupture skill. I received a Dwarven Steel Scale-mail Hauberk for Hadhod and a 3rd Age Rohirrim Shield of the Royal Court for Berethor. After all these many, many battles, you will finally complete the 'Aid Aragorn at the Gate' quest as well as the 'Defend Helm's Deep' quest. The Helm's Deep Chapter is now 100% completed! After saving your game, you will have unlocked a new chapter for Evil Mode. ---------- |Osgiliath | ---------- 'This ancient Gondorian city straddles the Anduin River east of Minas Tirith, and for years has defended against river crossings.' Move past the save point and view a cut scene. You will then fight four battles with Orcs, one after the other. Elegost's Arrows of Sleep works well here. I received Rohirrim Steel Greaves for Morwen after the second battle and a 3rd Age Silverlode Ring of Haven for Berethor after the third battle. For the fifth battle, Faramir will join your party. I received a 2nd Age Steel Long Sword of Minas Tirith and a Gondorian Steel Fountain Guard Chestplate for Berethor after the battle. For the Epic Scenes, I received The Elves Arrive, The Uruk-hai Army Approaches, Shatter the Wall, Fall Back!, Saruman's End Draws Near, Final Retreat, Look to My Coming!, You Are Free of His Possession, Osgiliath Assault and Realization of Past Cowardice. [OS1] Save the Defenders ========================== 'Come to the aid of Gondorian Defenders throughout the besieged city.' There are several chests to the back of the save point, one near the bottom of the stairs containing a 1st Age Golden Belt Buckle of The Lords for Hadhod, and a 3rd Age Rohirric Double-Bit Axe for Morwen. Another is directly behind the save point containing a 3rd Age Hammerhand Pin of Might for Eaoden, you also receive an Epic Scene - A Long Planned Invasion. Clear the square area of any fighting people. Towards the long path, there is a chest containing Rohirrim Steel Vambraces for Morwen and an Epic Scene - Denethor's Favor. Go to the next screen, and you will receive another Epic Scene - Spawn of Sauron. Go to the little area and fight a battle with some Orcs. I received a 2nd Age Dwarf Belt Buckle of The Lords for Hadhod. Now a little way down the path there is a chest containing a 3rd Age Rohirric Steel Spear for Eaoden. For the next battle, I received a 3rd Age Gondorian Steel Infantry Spear for Eaoden and a 3rd Age Gondorian Cuisse of Haven for Morwen. There is a chest on the right hand pocket near the save point containing a Rohirrim Plumed Steel Royal Guard Helm for Eaoden, and another containing a 3rd Age Mirkwood Bow and a Dunedain Wool Ranger Hood for Elegost. Moving along, I received Dwarven Steel Greaves for Hadhod, 3rd Age Mearas Pin of Haven for Eaoden, 2nd Age Elven Steel Fauld for Idrial and a Rohirrim Steel Helm for Morwen after battles. In the next mini-area, there is a chest containing 2nd Age Elven Steel Pauldrons for Idrial. In the next screen, view the cut scene and, you will receive a new quest and a new Epic scene - Outmatched. [OS2] To the Bridge! ===================== 'Fight through to Faramir and his men, so you may aid in the defense of Osgiliath's main bridge.' There is a chest to the left containing a 3rd Age Leather Cuisse of Haste for Morwen and a 2nd Age Elven Pendant of Wrath for Idrial. Behind the fighting people, there is a chest containing 3rd Age Easterling Polearm for Eaoden. There's another chest containing Dwarven Steel Plate Vambraces for Hadhod and a 2nd Age Rivendell Brooch of Sanctuary for Elegost around that area near the orange dot. Fight more battles with the people around that area to receive a Rohirrim Steel Chain-mail Hauberk for Morwen, 3rd Age Rohirrim Battle Shield for Eaoden. There is a chest to the right area of the save point containing 2nd Age Elven Crystal Tiara of Nenya for Idrial. This completes the 'Save the Defenders' quest. Move towards the orange dot. I received a 2nd Age Steel Numenorian Battle Helm for Berethor after fighting several battles. View the cut scene, and then a battle will begin. Faramir will join you for this battle. Try and attack Gothmog, the Orc Army Commander. If you focus on the others, once they are dead, Gothmog will call others to take their place. You can kill ONE Orc, if you kill two, Gothmog will replace them. You MUST use a Morgul Decay, this item is very useful. It will strip Gothmog of his armor, so you will be able to deal critical hits to him. This battle was not easy for me, the members in my party kept dying. Valinor Medicine was very useful, it revives all the knocked out members in your party. Also use Idrial's Frenzy, which allows her to take two spirit actions. Then use her Aura of the Valar to protect your party members. If they are killed, they will automatically be revived and their Action Points restored. Once you have removed Gothmog's armor, use all the two/three strike melee attacks, and he should go down pretty quickly. After the battle, I received a Dwarven Steel Scale-mail Tabard for Hadhod and a Dunedain Scale-Mail Hauberk for Elegost. This complets the 'To the Bridge!' quest. You also get a new Epic Scene - Crossing the Anduin. Now, turn back and save your game. Then, head towards the orange dot. View the cut scene, after which you receive a new quest and a new Epic Scene - Routes Known to Faramir. [OS3] Rescue Idrial ====================== 'You must find a way to reach the occupied island if you hope to rescue Idrial before she is overwhelmed by enemies.' Move forward, and you do battle with Idrial against 2 Orcs. After the battle, receive another Epic Scene - Revelation of Morgul Possession. Move forward and do battle with a Ringwraith Fell Beast Captain. Use Hadhod's Crippling Smash and Elegost's Crippling Shot. After the battle, you receive an Epic Scene - Fear of the Nazgul. Go straight ahead, there is a chest at the end, to the left. Along the way, I fought with another Ringwraith and received Rohirrim Steel Pauldrons for Morwen. In the chest is a 2nd Age Dwarven Steel Battle Axe for Hadhod. Now, take the other path. You will have several more battles against Ringwraiths. Save your game at the save point. I had another battle with a Ringwraith and received Rohirrim Leather Tassets and a 3rd Age Royal Court Gold Spear for Eaoden. Go back and save your game before continuing forward. In the next scene, you will receive a new quest. [OS4] Spoils of War ===================== 'Many of the Enemy's weapons have been lost to the river. You must find one that will aid you in this battle.' If you go straight ahead, then turn left, you will have a battle between Idrial and two enemies.

There is a save point somewhere in the waters. The shortest dead end path leads you to a 3rd Age Spear of the Royal Guard for Eaoden and a 2nd Age Imladris Ring of Sanctuary for Berethor. This completes the 'Hands of Healing' quest. The next dead end on the right contained an Elfstone. The next dead end contains Rohirrim Steel Vambraces for Eaoden and another chest with a Gondorian Wool Warrior Cloak for Berethor and 2nd Age Numenorian Command Pendant for Idrial. Go back towards the large area, there is a chest on the left of the exit, containing 2nd Age Elven Mithril Greaves for Idrial and Gondorian Steel Fountain Guard Pauldrons for Berethor. The dead end after that contained a 2nd Age Dwarven Mithril Double-Bit Axe for Hadhod. After finding all of the chests, the 'Spoils of War' quest should be completed. Now make your way to the paths that intersect. There is a save point half way through. Exit the sewers and Berethor and Idrial will fight against two Ringwraith Shadow Captains. Have Idrial cast Haste of Elves on Berethor and her auto-reviving skill, then simply use Berethor's strongest attack. After the battle, I received a 3rd Age Emnet Pin of Fortification for Eaoden. Immediately after, you will have a battle with the witch-king of Agmar. He is impossible to hurt, and you will view a cut-scene. Now, the battle will resume again. Have Idrial cast Haste of Elves on Berethor, and use her to heal the party. Berethor should cast his Leadership skill - Company Might, then attack with his strongest attack skill. After the battle, I received a 2nd Age Mithril Long Sword of Minas Tirith for Berethor and a 2nd Age Steel Elven War Sword for Idrial. This completes the 'Rescue Idrial' quest. You will also gain a new Epic Scene - Possession Overcome. Exit the arena, and view the cut scene. A battle with two trolls will begin immediately. I received a Rohirrim Steel Chain-mail Skirt for Eaoden and a 3rd Age Mordor Orc Shortbow for Elegost after the battle. You have now completed 100% of the Osgiliath Chapter. ------------- |Minas Tirith | ------------- 'Standing upon seven walled levels, the White City has served as Gondor's final bulwark against Sauron throughout the Third age.' You first quest is to: [MT1] Defend the Courtyard ============================ 'Aid in the defense of Minas Tirith's Courtyard. Assist the Gondorian soldiers to the last!' Everywhere you see people fighting, aim for them. There's a save point in the middle of the courtyard. After saving, you will unlock a new chapter in Evil Mode. After the battles, I received a 3rd Age Gondorian Battle Shield for Berethor, a 3rd Age Rohirrim Shield of the Royal Court for Eaoden and a Dunedain Scale-mail Skirt for Elegost. This completes the 'Defend the Courtyard' quest. There is a chest on the upper right hand corner (assuming the orange dot is in front) containing a Gondorian Mithril Fountain Guard Helm for Berethor. Go towards the orange dot, where you will fight three trolls and then a mixture of Trolls and Orcs. Use Berethor's Stand fast Skill to avoid stunning attacks. After battle, save your game at the save point. Move towards the orange dot, and view the cut scene with Gandalf. A battle will begin immediately after. You fight a four group of Orcs, and then another two groups of Orcs. Use Elegost's Arrows of Sleep skill to put the enemies to sleep, and then attack them. I received a Dunedain Wool Captain's Hood for Elegost after the battle. There is a new quest to complete. [MT2] Stay the Rampaging Troll ================================ 'A Mountain Troll has broken through the Main Gate defenses. You must stop him before he causes more damage in the city.'

Now go through the door where the orange dot is and view the cut scene. You now have two new quests. [MT3] Defeat an Outer Wall Troll ================================= 'A Troll is assaulting the Outer Wall. Stop him before he kills more Gondorians and weakens that section of the city.' [MT4] Save Troops from a Troll =============================== 'Orcs and a Troll have trapped a group of Gondorian warriors in an alley behind the Outer Wall. Stop these attackers quickly.' Move forward and save your game. Go to the left, and do battle with two Trolls. This completes the 'Defeat an Outer Wall Troll' quest. You also receive a new Epic Scene - Linked Gates. There is a chest just in front containing Gondorian Steel Warrior Greaves for Berethor. Now, turn around and go the other way. There is a chest containing a 2nd Age Numenorian Ring of Command for Berethor. Go up the stairs and take the left junction. You will do battle with two trolls and receive a 3rd Age Fangorn Binding Pendant for Idrial. This completes the 'Save Troops from a Troll' quest. Turn around and go the other way. View the cut scene, then begin a battle against several Orcs. You only have control of Morwen, Eaoden and Hadhod during this battle. After that, you do battle with a Ringwraith. You control Berethor, Idrial and Elegost here. You will alternate between battling Orcs with the first party, and Ringwraiths with the second party. After the battle, you receive a new Epic Scene - Gondor is Weak. There is a chest just beside you on the right, containing a 2nd Age Dwarven Mithril Piercing axe for Hadhod and a Polished Elfstone of Action Enhancement. On the right area, do battle with a group of Orcs to receive a Rohirrim Steel Chain-mail Skirt for Morwen. In front of the save point is a chest containing Minas Tirith Mithril Vambraces for Elegost.

Moving towards a chest on the right (containing Rohirrim Steel Captain's Pauldrons for Eaoden) in front of the save point, I received an Epic Scene - Failure of the Steward.

This completes the 'Recover Banner of Elendil' quest as well as 100% of the Minas Tirith Chapter. ---------------- |Pelennor Fields | ---------------- 'These open fields surrounding Minas Tirith are destined to fill with Orcs, should Gondor's Control of the river ever falter.' At the start of this chapter, you will do battle with some Orcs. After the battle, I received a 3rd Age Rohirrim Royal Guard Shield for Eaoden and a new Epic Scene - The Six Thousand. There are two quests when you begin this chapter. [PF1] Ride to Ruin ==================== 'Theoden fights for the future of the Free Peoples. Join him.'

There is a chest to the right, at the back containing Rohirrim Steel Captain's Pauldrons for Morwen. To the left, is a save point. You will unlock a new chapter in Evil Mode when you save your game. Move forward, fighting several a battle with Orcs as you do so. In the next screen, there is a chest on the left containing a Gondorian Wool FOuntain Guard Hood for Elegost and a 1st Age Galadhrim Pin of Spirit Warding for Eaoden. Continue onwards to battle more Orcs. I received a 1st Age Mithril Long Sword of the Valar for Berethor and a 2nd Age Elven Gold Spear of Amon Hen for Eaoden. As you reach a junction with a save point, you will receive an Epic Scene - New Tactics. Go straight and do battle with an Orc and a Troll. I received a 2nd Age Forlindon Mithril Falchion for Idrial and a 3rd Age Shield of the Stewards for Berethor. There is a chest at the end of the path. Now, go back to the save point and take the other junction. Take the left junction. I received a Dwarven Mithril Pauldrons for Hadhod and Rohirrim Steel Tassets for Morwen after battles. Straight ahead, there is a chest containing a 3rd Age Dwarven Mithril Walking Axe for Morwen. Continue along the path, there is a chest containing a 3rd Age Elven Silver Tiara of Caras Galadhon for Idrial. Now, go back to the junction and turn left. I received a Rohirrim Steel Scale-mail Hauberk for Eaoden and a 2nd Age Earendil Mithril Battle Shield for Berethor after battles with a Ringwraith. There is a save point on the left. Further in, you will receive an Epic Scene - Monsters From the South. After battling a Troll and a Easterling warrior, take the junction to the right. I received Dwarven Mithril Vambraces and Dwarven Mithril Greaves for Hadhod after battles. There is a chest containing a 1st Age Galadhrim Brooch of Spirit Warding for Elegost and a 1st Age Eregion Pin of Weapon Warding for Eaoden. Turn around and go back to the other junction now. You have to fight a giant elephant-like creature now. After defeating it, there is a save point to the left (a bit behind). Move forward and view a cut scene, after which you will fight the witch king. Eowyn will join your party for this battle. First, use Morgul Decay on the Witch-king. This will totally remove his armor. Next, use all the weakening attacks, eg weaken armor, speed, etc. Idrial - Weakening Slash Hadhod - Hew Armor Morwen - Poisoned Wounds After that, I used the many-striked melee attacks. If a party member died, I used Idrial's Power of the Valar, which resurrected them to full health and replenished their AP. After the battle, I received a Helm of the Great Hall for Morwen and a 2nd Age Silver Spear of The Queen of Lorien for Eaoden. This completes the 'Ride to Ruin' quest. You also receive an Epic Scene - Fall of the Witch-king. Continue along the path, you will have to fight against Easterling warriors. If they use the Black shield, then use Eaoden's Spirit Powers - Dispel to remove the shield. There is a save point nearby after the battle as well as a chest which contains a 3rd Age Easterling Iron Broad Axe for Morwen. Move on to fight the elephant after which I received a 2nd Age Fell Numenorian Battle Helm for Berethor and a 3rd Age Rohan Infantry Shield for Eaoden. Go along the path and battle another elephant. Turn left at the junction to do battle with Orcs and Easterlings. There is a chest containing Drops of Healing and Dwarven Ale. Now go back to the junction and take the other path. You now have to battle TWO elephants at one go. Get Idrial to cast her Frenzy as soon as you can. Cast Aura of the Valar on herself and one other character. Use Idrial to revive/cast Aura of the Valar as much as possible. She must ALWAYS be in your party. As soon as she dies and revives herself, cast Aura of the Valar on herself yet again so that she will auto-revive the next time round. You have to get this rhythm correct in order to beat the two elephants. Use your characters double skills so that they can always take two turns at one time. Then use their most powerfull attacks. My two favourite characters are Berethor (use his double skill and then his multiple melee attacks) and Hadhod (his attacks are VERY powerful). Using this method, I was able to beat the elephants on my second attempt. Move forward to view a cut scene. Immediately after that, you will fight some Orcs and a Troll. You have control of Aragorn during this battle. This was so easy compared to the previous one! Use Elegost's arrows of sleep to put some of them to sleep, then take them out one by one. Use Aragorn's Call the Dead skill to completely destroy the enemies! There is a save point slightly behind you after this battle. Move forward to the next scene to battle a Ringwraith. After defeating it, I received a 3rd age Bronze Cuisse of Battle for Morwen. The next battle is with Orcs and a Troll. I received an Epic Scene - Return of the King after the battle. In the next battle, you fight against some Orcs, again, very simple. Just use Aragorn's Call of the Dead and they will all go down. This completes the 'Fight for the King' quest. You also receive the final Epic Scene - The Brave Prevail. This completes 100% of the Pelennor Fields chapter. Save your game and then move forward. You will fight against three Trolls. After the battle, view the cut scene and then battle against four Ringwraiths. When you finish that battle, you will start another one with more Ringwraiths. View the next cut scene, and then you will fight against the Eye of Sauron. Again, use Idrial to cast Frenzy, then Aura of the Valar. Use Morgul Decay as soon as you can to get rid of the Eye's Armor. Then, just attack with your most powerful skills. When it casts Paralysis of Light, use Dwarven Ale on Berethor, so that he can cast his Shield of Courage, which will remove all the negative effects. Alternatively, you can use Idrial's Cleansing Waters to rid the anti-magic. After you have finished with the last battle, view the cut scene. This ends your game! I think it is not possible to gain 100%, at the last save point, you will only have 99% completed. Most probably the last few battles complete the final 1%, but as it is not possible to save the game at the end, we will never find out! =============================================================================== [SKI] Skills =============================================================================== Each character has different skills that they can learn. Perfect Mode skills are the same for each character. Each character can gain skill points when they use their skills. Each time they use a skill, they gain skill points. If they miss the enemy or the enemy dodges, they will NOT gain a skill point. After they gain enough skill points, they will learn the new skill that has been set under the menu page. In order to level up your skills quickly, here is a tactic that you can use. Once you have gotten Elegost's Arrows of Sleep skill, use it to put the enemies to sleep. Then you can use skills that do NOT attack the enemy (once you attack, the enemy will wake up) such as Berethor's Leadership Skills, Hadhod's Shield skills, Idrial's Healing skills, etc. Using this method, you should be able to gain skills quickly. For Morwen, if you use her Seize Skill, this will steal Skill Points from the enemies. These points will alternate between her Dual-Axe craft and her Thief Craft. Bigger enemies will get more SP, eg, if you steal from a troll, you can get 3 or 4 SP. There are also special skills that can only be learnt when an Elfstone is equipped. For example, in order to Craft Items, the character needs to have equipped that Elfstone. Once the skill has been learnt, it doesn't matter if you equip the Elfstone to a different player, the skill will still be available for use. --------- |Berethor | --------- Sword Craft ============ Guardian Strike (default skill) -------------------------------- A more powerful melee attack.
