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. 

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.

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. 

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.

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, 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.

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.

Paths Of The Dead: Defeating the King 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.

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. 

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.

Hint: Road To Isengard: Killing Orcs:
When you get to the part where you have to kill 65 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. 

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 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. 

Shelob's Lair: Defeating Shelob: 
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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

Walls Of Minas Tirith: Courtyard: 
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hint: 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.

Entering Perfect mode:
Use the following trick to enter Perfect mode very quickly without taking any 
damage. When surrounded by a group of enemies, rapidly press [Parry] to block 
all incoming attacks. As you block, your special meter rises very quickly, bringing 
you to Perfect mode. You can now quickly take out all nearby enemies while 
racking up the Perfects. This is very useful in Pelennor Fields.

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.
