Defeating Lurtz:
Lurts starts by shooting arrows. As Aragorn, deflect them with your sword then fire 
a charged arrow at him. Keep repeating this until the intermission sequence where 
he grabs a sword from the ground begins. When he charges you, kill the minions 
that appear and try to hide behind one of the marble statues surrounding the 
arena. He will stab it, stick in, then be open for an attack. Use the Triangle thrust. 
Normally, two shots can be dealt and sometimes a third if you are lucky. Note: 
This is under the easy and normal difficulty setting. Also, when he rips his sword 
from the marble statue, it disintegrates, dropping health, arrows or other useful 
items.

When you get to the end of the Amon Hen mission, you will fight Lurtz. He will take 
out his bow and fire at you. Deflect the arrows, hide behind a statue, and use a 
projectile attack. Once he takes out his scimitar, try to get him to follow you to one 
of the statues. He will try to slash you, but his scimitar will go into the statue. While 
his scimitar is in the statue, fierce attack him as many times as possible. Another 
Uruk-Hai will try to help Lurtz kill you while his scimitar is stuck. Kill the Uruk-Hai 
while Lurtz is stuck. 

When fighting Lurtz (at the end of Amon Hen), instead of trying to get his sword 
stuck in the marble statues, try the following trick. After you are done with the bow 
and you are swordfighting him, just fight him for a while by mostly parrying. 
Speed attack once in a while; if you do not, Lurtz will grab and trip you, which 
does a lot of damage. The attack will not do any damage because he will block it, 
but you must do it. After a while, he will stand back as if tired and you can use an 
attack combination. He will then attack you again. Repeat this until he is dead. 

As soon as Lurtz picks up a sword, kill the one beast that comes at you and just 
block Lurtz's attacks. As soon as you see that you blocked an attack, press Circle 
to kick him. He will be knocked back, and will stand for a few seconds, stunned. 
While he is stunned, press Triangle to hit him with a fierce attack one time, then 
repeat. It is possible to defeat Lurtz without getting hit by doing this.

At the end of the Balin's Tomb level, purchase any special item that deals extra 
damage (for example, Ranger Fury or Elven Fury). When you fight Lurtz in the 
next level. get his scimitar stuck in a statue. Then, use the item you purchased 
(hold Fierce Attack) instead of doing as many fierce attacks as possible. You may 
only get one shot in, but it will deal extra damage. 

When Lurtz is stuck in one of the statues, hold Triangle. Note: This attack must 
first be purchased. Hold it until it is almost fully charged, then release Y. After 
doing this two or three times, Lurtz will be defeated.

Defeating Ringwraiths:
The only two attacks you should do when fighting these, is the parry attack 
(Square) and fierce attack (Triangle). Every time one attacks you, press Square, 
then counter with a double fierce attack (Triangle). This should give you an easily 
earned "Perfect" at the end of the level. 

In the level 2, use the torch to set them on fire. Wiggle the Right Analog-stick to 
light them up easier. Keep doing this until they are defeated.

Defeating Trolls:
In the levels with Trolls, you can kill them easily without getting hit once. Run up to 
a Troll after it has thrown a log at you or tried to hit you. Press Triangle once only, 
then run away. Do not run too far. Stay close, but not too close for it to hit you. 
Wait until it takes a swipe at you, then run back at it and press Triangle once 
again. Repeat this until it is dead.

Run up to a Troll and use your fierce attack. When he is about to hit you, jump 
back (L2). Continue this to defeat it. 

Wait for a troll to approach you. While you wait, hold Triangle and let your sword 
(if playing as Aragorn) or axe (if playing as Gimli) charge. This power-up is the 
one where the weapon catches on fire, and is one of the last upgrades you can 
get. When the troll approaches, release Triangle. If the attack is well placed, it 
should kill the troll instantly. The same can be done for Berserkers.

When battling Trolls, first rush in and fierce attack. Depending on your character, 
you can get up to two attacks in (Aragon and Legolas). Then, press L2 to jump 
back. This will put you out of the range of their clubs. This works well against the 
Cave Troll in Moria. but can fail against the two Forest Trolls in Fangorn because 
one will just throw logs. 

During the Secret Mission, play as any character and use devastating attacks. Go 
near the Troll and hold Triangle until your character stops, then attack.

Run up to a Troll and use your force attack once, then press Square quickly after 
the attack.

At a long distance, shoot arrows until they run out. At a short distance, press 
Triangle (fierce attack) once when close, then run. Wait until it swings, then do it 
again repeatedly until it dies.

Often when you fight a Troll, it either hits you before you run away or it takes a 
seemingly endless time for it to go down. Use this trick to kill Trolls swiftly and 
easily. Run up to the Troll and tap Triangle only once. This should bring your 
weapon on an upstroke to hit the Troll. Then, let your character finish the 
upstroke, then quickly tap Triangle again. This should repeatedly make the 
character do an attack on the Troll while stunning it long enough to do the attack 
again. You can now eliminate the Troll without it ever getting to swing at you. 

The easiest way to defeat a troll is to hit them with the X(2), Triangle attack. This 
will turn you weapon blue, and you will be able to do stronger moves. You can also 
enable the "Restore health" code when low.

It is possible to kill a Forest Troll with arrows as Legolas. Wait until they swing at 
you, then run around behind them. Shoot and hit them with an arrow. It only takes 
about three arrows to kill it.

Defeating Uruk Hai:
The strongest Uruk Hai have a sword, no armor, and have only white on their 
faces. Shooting them with arrows and setting them on fire works well. 

To kill the armored Uruk Hai in one attack and get an usually get an "Excellent", 
press Triangle(2), R2. 

When a strong Uruk-Hai approaches you, use your "Bane Of Sarumon" attack to 
easily it in one move.

To defeat the hardest type of Uruk-Hai, with white face and no armor, attack him, 
allowing yourself to be knocked down. You will get some damage, but not much. 
Then, do a Rising Fierce Attack (Triangle) while knocked down. That should knock 
him down if he is near to you. When he is down, do your killing move to defeat 
him. This should just give you a "Good" kill. 

Defeating enemies:
If you are having problems killing some of the Berserkers, Uruk Hai, etc., try one 
of the following two tricks. First, let the archers target you then run. Have another 
enemy between you and the archer. The archer will now hit your opponent instead 
of you. Second, allow a Troll to spot you and have it come towards you. When it 
does, run on the other side of a group of enemies. The Troll will knock them out of 
the way so it can get to you. This can also be useful when you have to fight more 
than one Troll. 

Amon Hen: Secret area:
When you are near the place where you meet your friends again, just when you 
are going down the stairs you can see a bunch of vine covering a hole. Slash it to 
find a Tome for experience points.

Amon Hen: Extra experience points: 
At the start of the level there will be a concrete structure in the background. Go 
under it and up the steps to find a secret box. Another place to find a secret box is 
at the part where there will be an archer on top of a concrete "doorway". Go 
around the side of it to find a walkway going up. The box will be there.

When playing as Gimli, instead of fighting all of the Uruk-Hai at the ruins near the 
end then losing all of your skill meter when you join your companions, skip 
through this fight. You may have to use a speed attack or two to pass through. At 
the last fight on the bridge, there will be at least double the amount of Uruk-Hai. 
This trick is best for Gimli because he is slow and his weapon kills very fast, he 
cannot build up his skill meter unless there are a lot of enemies at once. Do not 
attempt this if he is at a low level.

Amon Hen: Defeating Uruk-Hai:
Run through and get lots of Uruk-Hai to follow you. Stop where the bombers 
surround you with fire bombs. Get behind the rock and fight some Uruk-Hai, and 
the rest will burn when the bombers try to hit you.

When fighting the head Uruk-Hai, if you run out of attacks you can block, kick him, 
then attack him. Do this until he is dead. 

Amon Hen: Kill more enemies:
After you kill the Uruk-Hai that attack you in the first part of the level (where all of 
your friends are fighting with you), go down the path. If you are facing ahead, look 
to your left and there are probably Orcs in that direction, running. If you fire your 
arrows at them, you can usually kill them now, and not later in the level.

Balin's Tomb: Defeating the Stone Troll:
Once you enter the mines of Moria, waves of trolls will file through the door. Fight 
these off until a short intermission starts and the Stone Troll appears. The best 
way to defeat him is to dodge his attacks and fire when you can. After the Stone 
Troll has taken some damage, another short intermission will begin. You will find 
yourself on a ledge lined with pillars between you and the Stone Troll. The troll 
now attacks with a chain. It only takes two to three hits to kill you. Hide behind the 
pillars when the troll swings his chain at you. You will see dust fly from the pillars 
when he hits it. Jump out and fire as many arrows as you can at him. There are 
more arrows to the far right of the ledge. Every now and then, a goblin will appear 
on the ledge. One fierce attack usually takes care of them.

At first you will just have to fight a group of Orcs. These should not be too difficult. 
Keep killing them until there is an intermission sequence in which the Stone Troll 
appears. If you are low on health, stay away from the Stone Troll and keep killing 
Orcs. Some of them will have green potions. When you have good health, wait 
until the Stone Troll finishes an attack, then go up to his stomach and keep using 
your fierce attack. Do not go away -- press the D-pad towards him so you do not 
get too far away and thus allow him to hit you. After awhile, you will see an 
intermission sequence where you have to go up on the ledge while he uses his 
chains. It is best to have Aragorn or Legolas on this stage because of this section. 
At first, kill the Orc to your left. Then, run back and forth across this ledge. When 
he uses his chains, he will miss you, then remain still for a moment. When this 
happens, you should be able to get about three arrows out on him. If you run low 
on arrows, the far right side of the ledge has some. If you run low on health, 
dodge the chains and wait until the second or third Orc attacks you. One of them 
will have a green potion. 

Fangorn Forest: Defeating the Forest Trolls: 
Rush in and fierce attack on of the Trolls. Depending on your character, you can 
get up to two attacks in (Aragon and Legolas). Then, press L2 to jump back. This 
will put you out of the range of its clubs. Note: One will just throw logs. After killing 
one of the Trolls, your life will now probably be very low (in the red or yellow). 
Return the way you came, back down the hill to the point where the intermission 
sequence began. On one side, you will see a second passage. Go into the passage 
and fierce attack the vines. Note: If you do this before going into the Troll battle, 
the vines will not break. Enter the little room. It looks like the Trolls would be able 
to get you, but there is a wall. Break the chest to get a full heal. Use it, then go 
back and kill the second Troll.

Get in the middle of the two Trolls. When they swing at you, run out of the way. 
They will hit each other instead of you.

When you have killed all the Orcs that drop from the roof, if you have any arrows 
or axes remaining, throw charged ones at the two Trolls. Make sure to dodge the 
sticks that they throw at you. You will eventually kill them. 

Fangorn Forest: Defeating the Orcs: 
After you defeat the first Forest Troll, you will have to break a barrier. An 
intermission sequence featuring Orcs and other enemies throwing a Goblin into a 
pit. Your character will walk out, and game play will resume. Do not walk forward 
yet. Instead, pull out your bow and arrow and hit one of the Orcs with two curved 
swords and no shield. If your arrow is powerful enough, it will kill that one, but all 
of the Orcs will come after you. Watch out for the Orcs with no shield. They do a 
spinning technique that can hurt you badly and knocks you down. Then, they all 
start attacking you. Try to block that spinning attack.

Fangorn Forest: Secret passageway: 
Go through the forest until you get to the part where Goblins jump down on you 
from above. Kill them if desired, then look for two rocks that are together. Use 
your sword or axe to cut them down the middle to reveal a secret passageway.

Fangorn Forest: Ent:
Proceed through the level until you get to the part where you fight people in the 
water. Kill the archers, then the Orcs that pop out of the water. After that, walk a 
little way in the water. Watch the water to your right. If you are going in the 
correct direction, it will be on the right. Keep looking until you see a reflection of a 
tree. Look closely at it to see Treebeard's reflection.

At the beginning of the level, walk until you see a log. Go near it, but not next to it 
so that it changes the camera angle. You can see an Ent in the background.

At the very end of the level when the intermission sequence with Gandalf appears, 
before it turns into the film look closely and you will see many arms. Look even 
closer and you will see lots of Ents.

At the end of the level, look in the background behind the characters during the 
FMV sequence. You can clearly see Treebeard.

Fanghorn Forest: Easy "Excellent" ranks:
At the part where the Orcs throw the small Goblin into the pit, you can run up to 
one of them and kick him into the pit to get an "Excellent". Immediately after you 
defeat all of them, go to the river. After defeating the Orc with the shield, you can 
kick the Orcs shooting the arrows at you off the edge of the waterfall for 
more "Excellents".

Gap of Rohan: Extra experience points: 
After killing the first two Wargs with your companions, do not go on just yet. Go to 
all the barrels and smash them. You should find experience points in two of them.

Gates Of Moria: Defeating The Watcher: 
When facing the Boss, it does not matter who you are in this mission. Run into the 
water. The Watcher will raise its tentacles out of the water. Parry to block the 
tentacle's strikes. After being blocked, the tentacle will still remain out of the 
water. Chop it off. The Watcher will then leave the water. Use your 
arrows/throwing axes to hit it in the head region. Continue to block the strikes 
from the tentacles. After every tentacle you cut off, The Watcher will surface. He 
will usually die after about five well-placed arrows.

Block the Watcher's arm swing. Then, its arm will wiggle in the air. This your 
chance to attack it. Run up to the arm and use you fast attack (X) to cut its arm 
off. Its head will appear out of the water for about five seconds. Before it goes 
back down, shoot an arrow (if playing as Legolas or Aragorn) or throw axes (if 
playing as Gimli) into the head. Do this repeatedly to defeat it.

You will first see your partner get knocked out. Go out as far as you can into the 
water. Press R1 to block his attacks. When its tentacles are sticking out of the 
water (not touching you), hack one off. Its head will appear from the water. Shoot 
your arrows or axes at its head. It should take five to six shots to the head to kill it.

Hint: Gates Of Moria: Extra experience points:
When you first get control of your character, run towards the edge of the cliff. 
Near the edge of the cliff will be a large rock. Next to the rock is what appears to 
be a box encased in a big block of ice. Fierce Attack the object to break the ice 
and reveal a secret box. Smash the box for experience points. 

At the beginning of the level, there should be two rocks on the edge of the cliff in 
front of you. Smash them with a fierce attack to reveal a treasure chest.

Hint: Helm's Deep: Hornburg Courtyard: Easy kills as Legolas:
After you go up and save Aragorn, stay there. Instead of going down to fight the 
army, shoot arrows off the wall and off screen. You will know if you are hitting 
anything by looking at the skill meter. This trick works best with Dragonfire or 
Mithril arrows. If you rapidly fire enough, you can get up to an "Excellent" rank. If 
you run out of arrows, go down and there will be all types of items from the Orcs 
you killed while on the wall. You can score very good points by fighting with knives 
as Legolas. When you get onto "Perfect", go to a corner in the back and start firing 
arrows. Your "Perfect" Mithril arrows will kill in one hit. Stay in a corner because if 
you get surrounded, your arrows will not save you.

Helm's Deep: The Deeping Wall: Easy "Excellent" kills:
To score easy "Excellent" kills, kick invaders off the wall in the same manner as 
you do the ladders. This is a fast and effective way to take care of the Uruk Hai.

Plains Of Rohan: Extra time:
Use any character and save most of the people and kill as many Orcs as possible 
to get more time.

Plains Of Rohan: Extra experience points:
When you get to the part where you have to shoot a barrel open with your bow, 
then break the wood to set the people free, look to the right . You will see a 
walkway, but fire will be blocking your path. Enable the "Invincibility" code ad walk 
though it. At the end will be a box. Note: Make sure you save the people and kill 
the three Orcs first.

Immediately after Gandalf leaves after breaking the door at the beginning of the 
level, go inside and rescue the Rohan citizens. Once you have freed them, run to 
the back wall of the building. Look to the left there to find an overturned table. 
Break the table and proceed behind the counter. Another table will block your 
path. Smash that table, and just beyond it there will be a box. Break it open for 
experience points.

ower Of Orthanc: Easy archer kill: 
When you get to the levels with the archers, stand in front of one of them, so that 
the archer is acting like a shield to you. The other archers will just keep shooting 
your "shield" until it dies. It is a good idea to keep your "deflecting of the arrows" 
on by pressing L1 + Square. 

Enable the "Slow motion" code. Quickly hold L1 and press X. It takes two hits with 
an axe, but only once with an arrow.

Tower Of Orthanc: Easy Forest Troll kill:
To kill a Forest Troll with one hit, hold Triangle for your sword, swords or axe when 
near it. Release Triangle when you think you can hit it. Note: This only works when 
you have ranger, elven or dwarven fury.

Tower Of Orthanc: Easy completion: 
Use the Orc Bane and Bane Of Saruman moves repeatedly. When you are using 
them, no other monsters will attack and the arrows that archers fire will not hit 
you. If you continuously parry as soon as you finish one Bane move, then you will 
not be hit and can do another easily. This obviously does not work for the Trolls 
that you encounter in the last few levels, but they will not attack when you are 
performing this on another Orc or Uruk-Hai.

There are 20 levels. It is easy in the beginning, but its gets harder. The first five 
levels are straight forward; kill the Orcs and Uruk-Hai. At about the fifth level, 
Saruman will start sending out archers. Since they fire in waves, block them then 
move to an archer and kill it. Repeat this until all are defeated. When they begin to 
mix archer and close range fighters, parry the Orcs' attacks until they all are 
around you. Then, just keep blocking their attacks until the fire from the archers 
has dwindled their numbers. To save on time, use some Bane attacks (Goblin's 
Bane, Orc's Bane, Saruman's Bane). At level 10, the archers' arrows may explode 
on impact, but the same technique still works. At level 15, Trolls and berserk Uruk-
Hai with huge swords will start to appear. When this happens, use the same 
technique while running from the Trolls instead of parrying. The archers can also 
do damage to Trolls. When fighting the berserk enemies, parry their attacks, then 
do Saruman's Bane.

Tower Of Orthanc: Floor 20:
On the last floor, you will have to face some Orcs, archers, two Forest Trolls, and a 
Cave Troll. The easiest way to kill the Trolls is to let them kill each other. Go 
between them and they will try to smash you, but will smash each other instead.

Tower Of Orthanc: Body shield:
Enable the "Invincibility" code. When you kill all enemies except for the archers, 
run up to an archer and stand directly behind him, so you can still see the next 
archer. The next archer will shoot the one you are in front of, instead of you.

Tower Of Orthanc: Slow motion warning: 
Do not enable the "Slow motion" code on this level. The enemies can attack you 
easier.

Tower Of Orthanc: Parry arrows as Gimli:
There will be levels with archers. Kill one side of archers, then when the other side 
starts to fire at you, use your speed attack at the correct moment. The arrow will 
be deflected. Always use Triple Strike when doing this, just to be sure.

Tower Of Orthanc: Easy "Excellent" rank:
Kick anyone except for the Trolls off the edge of the stage to get an "Excellent".

Weathertop: Defeating Ring Wraiths: 
As Aragorn, the easiest way to kill the Ring wraiths is to knock them back against 
a wall. Then, keep fierce attacking them. Keep doing this to have a good chance of 
getting a "Perfect" each time. However, If you are knocked down you will lose 
your flame. If this happens, speed attack the fire. 

Westfold: Do not explode the explosives: 
In The Westfold level, you do not have to destroy the explosives as described by 
the Rohan soldier. You can leave all of the explosives alone. You only need to 
destroy the row of carts carrying the explosives at the end of the level. 

Westfold: Exploding enemies: 
Every time a enemy is close to the explosive devices, shoot them with your range 
attack. They will blow up into pieces. 

Westfold: Easy experience:
When facing the Orc Overseer, you can keep killing the Warg riders for 
experience. Hit the Overseer four times so that his health is in the red, then 
continue to avoid his attacks by running in the water. Then, keep killing the Warg 
riders until you are satisfied and finally finish off the Overseer. This is a good way 
to level up a character who is at a low level. 

Go through the level until you reach a stream of water (creek). Go up it and open 
the box. Your character will say something about it. Continue through the level 
until you get to the intermission sequence in which someone says "Hold them at 
the gate". Immediately after that, go to the wooden structure that is back there. 
When you get there, look to the left. You will see a box inside, but it is covered 
with fire. Your character will say something again. Go under the structure. When 
the camera angle turns, look to the right. There will be a staircase. Go up the 
stairs. Once again, fire will block your path. So shoot the barrels at the top with 
your bow. Then, go over to the other barrels and slash them to extinguish the fire 
below. Your character will say something similar to "Quite useful" or "That should 
do it". Go down the steps and get the box.

You will notice that there are two streams that you will cross, one near the starting 
area, and one just before the large pond at the end. The one near the starting 
area will have explosives and an archer. Kill the Uruk-Hai running toward you, 
then blow up the explosives, which will kill the archer. Run forward. When you are 
standing in the water, walk upstream. You will see a chest. Break it open for a nice 
little tomb (experience points).

Flaming sword in intermission sequence: 
After you have defeated all of the Uruk-Hai in front of the final explosive set in the 
Westfold level, instead of blowing up the last set with an arrow, charge up your 
weapon. Do a devastating attack by holding Triangle. If done correctly, your 
character will be walking away in the ending sequence with a flaming sword. 

At the end of the Rohan mission with the explosives, have Aragorn or Isildur with 
all upgrades. Hold Triangle until your sword catches on fire, then release it to 
destroy the explosives on the wagons at the end. In the next intermission 
sequence, your sword will be on fire.

Easy level:
The easiest way to level up is to repeatedly enable the "Add 1000 experience 
points" code. Each time you level up, you will hear a noise along with the sword.

Easy experience:
Note: This trick only works with Aragorn. At the start of each level, go to the 
options menu and change difficulty to hard. Kill one enemy, then return the 
difficulty back to easy. 

Easy kills:
You can kick an enemy off just about any cliff in any level.

Note: This trick works best with Legolas, as he has two swords. It is also useful in 
the first Helm's Deep level. Whenever you or someone fighting with you knocks an 
enemy down, go beside the fallen but not dead foe. Press R2 to stab them; which 
kills pretty almost any enemy.

When you begin any floor, use a devastating attack by charging up your weapon 
(Triangle) until your enemies are close enough to hit. Then, release to harm/kill all 
the enemies in range. If you have time, charge it again to kill the slower enemies. 
This is especially helpful when battling trolls. Note: This trick requires Ranger Fury 
or its upgrades.

Easy Perfects:
Use the following trick to get east "Perfects" on enemies without repeatedly hitting 
them. Get any of the death moves for any character. Use this attack on enemies 
and the color meter will grow to high green. If you finish off the enemy with the 
last Triangle in the death move, it will make the "Perfect" glow appear. You can hit 
a lot of perfects doing this. This is good for Legolas, but it will practice to master it 
with Gimli, as he is slower than the other characters.

This trick is easiest when done with Legolas because of the way he moves. After 
you get to level 8, purchase Elrond's, Islidur's, or Balin's Judgment. Work on using 
it and getting very proficient with it. After mastering it, go to any level you want to 
get a Perfect on. This will not work every time, but if you can kill two enemies 
using the Judgment, you can usually get a perfect devastating sword. After you get 
this, go around killing as many enemies as possible, then repeat.

To get easy "Perfects" with Aragorn, purchase the Isuldur's Swift Terror level 2 
combo. Use it three times without missing and your sword will glow blue. Continue 
cutting down enemies for easy Perfects and experience.

Easy Excellents: 
When you can play levels over again, use this trick. It will take several attempts, 
depending on your skill. In all of the levels (excluding Weathertop, Amon Hen, 
Plains of Rohan, Breached Wall, and the Helms Deep), you can complete the level 
with an "Excellent" rank, just by killing one or two Orcs, and getting "Excellent". 
Kill a few Orcs at the beginning of the level (five or more), getting an "Excellent" 
rank. Then, run near to the end of the level. For example, in the Gates of Moria 
level kill off the first few Orcs with your Linked Move until the intermission 
sequence with the arrow and the Orc and Gimli. Then, run to the part where you 
need to kill the Watcher, and do not kill any Orcs on the way, unless you have to. 
No orcs will follow you to the Boss part after you have started it. Kill the Watcher. 
When your kills get counted, as you will see, you will have more "Excellent" kills.

As Legolas under the normal or expert difficulty setting, you can get an "Excellent" 
rank most of the time by doing the following. Do two fierce attacks to knock your 
opponents down. Then, do a Shadow Strike. Alternately, ready your bow and 
arrow. Do not charge up your arrows at any time. . Shoot one orc, then another. 
Next, shoot the other one again. Repeat this until two "Excellents" appear.

Dodging arrows:
Enable the "Slow motion" on any level with any character. You will be able to 
dodge arrows easier. Note: This may not always work.

Putting out fires:
Many parts of the game will require you to put out a fire or save people in order to 
move on to the next area. Look for a barrel in the area of the fire. Smash it with a 
speed attack and water will flow out, extinguishing any fires it can.

Destroying shields:
As Legolas or Aragorn, reach level 8. Use the bow and arrow to aim at the shield, 
then hold X for five to ten seconds.

Avoiding Warg charges:
To avoid a Warg charge, stand in the water.

Playing as Legolas:
Choose Legolas and use the codes to get all the upgrades. You can now fight from 
afar. Use your glowing arrows to shoot any enemy, unless they have a shield. If 
this is the case, use your Triangle attack to break the shield. You can then either 
knock them down and shoot an arrow when they get up, or just slice them with 
your swords. When fighting in the last Helms Deep level, this is useful. Only a few 
Orcs will attack when you shoot. Although you will not be able to see, you can still 
shoot and hit, as long as you are aiming at the door. 

Legolas: Extra damage:
Reach level 8 or above, then fire at the enemy. Wait a few seconds and it will die.
