Version History

moves under the "Combination Attacks &

Mission 5: Amon Hen.
Added a tip for the Cave Trolls under the
secret mission, courtesy of HowYouDoin1002.

helped to contribute to this guide. All tips

***********************************************************************
*********************** I. PURPOSE OF BEING *************************
***********************************************************************
So, I wrote this FAQ to (hopefully) help gamers and give them an
in-depth look into the video game “The Lord of the Rings: The Two
Towers.” Okay, I was bored too.
This is my first FAQ. I attempted to play through every level with
Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, documenting strategies specific to each
character. Some of the strategies are the same, but some (especially
later levels differ quite dramatically) It might be a little long,
but I hope it’s helpful for you.

CONTROLS
========
Guard = Square (S) button
Speed Attack = (X) button
Fierce Attack = Triangle (T) button
Push An Enemy = Circle (C) button
Bow & Arrow
-----------
Press and hold the L1 button. You can aim by using the left analog
stick. A little bright dot will appear above your target. To fire
an arrow, press (X) or (T) while holding down L1. Your character will
auto-aim most of the time, but there will be instances when you might
have to do the aiming manually.
However, be careful when firing arrows, because it could leave you
very vulnerable to attack.
==============
ATTACK RATINGS
==============
When you attack an enemy, you will get an "attack rating" for how
skillfully you disposed of that enemy. The four ratings are:
Fair
Good
Excellent
Perfect
The higher the attack rating, the more experience you will gain. To
get high attack ratings (good, excellent, perfect), try to defeat your
enemies without getting hit. If you defeat enough enemies without
getting hit, you Skill Meter will fill up and glow. When this happens,
your attacks will inflict more damage - for a short period of time.
Example: one hit will defeat an enemy, giving you a "perfect" attack
rating for that enemy and thus rewarding you with more experience.
Filling the Skill Meter Quickly
-------------------------------
To fill the skill meter quickly, use special combination attacks.
These can be purchased after each mission. You will know when you
pull off a combo attack because the name of the move will appear in
the bottom left corner of the screen.
Just make certain your combo attacks actually hit you enemies,
otherwise your skill meter will not fill up. If you do this, you'll
soon be hacking with joy at your foes.

=======================================================================
Note: On the linked "Bane" moves, in order for them to work properly,
you must first wait for an enemy to attack you. Then, parry
the attack with the square (S) button. Immediately follow this
up by pressing both the (X) button and the (R1) button at the
same time. All Banes work the same way. But they will only
work if you have purchased the proper upgrade. For example, if
you purchased only Goblin Bane but not Orc Bane, a bane move
will not yet work on an orc.

==================
TIPS FOR UPGRADING
==================
After you complete a mission with each character, purchase ALL the
upgrades you can. Don't worry about saving up your upgrade points for
later. Just buy all the upgrades you can between missions because they
will most likely be very helpful in the missions to come.
AND NOW . . .
***********************************************************************
************************* VI. DA WALKTHROUGH ************************
***********************************************************************
=======================================================================
---------------------MISSION 1 - PROLOGUE (ISILDUR)--------------------
=======================================================================
Part I - Guard & Speed attacks
There is a long intro movie cutscene, and suddenly you are dropped in
the middle of the Orc carnage.
Don't worry - you can't die here, so just follow the button
instructions that flash on the screen to get a feel for the game
controls.
Guard = Square (S) button
Speed Attack = (X) button
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
After fighting a bit, there will be a rendered cutscene with archers
and some orcs running around.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Part II - Fierce Attack
Here you will go back to the action and learn the fierce attack.
This attack is to be used on enemies with shields. A fierce attack
will break the enemy's shield, allowing you to then use other attacks
to damage it. If you do not use fierce attacks, to destroy their
shields, you cannot damage them.
Fierce Attack = Triangle (T) button
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Soon, Mt. Doom will erupt.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Part III - Go Berserk!
Just get a feel for how the controls work, trying differing tactics
to what works best for you. Practice trying to string attacks together
and build up your skill meter, so you will get "Perfect" attack ratings
and gain more experience.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Okay, so when he sees that you winning, Sauron will show up and reek
havoc on your armies. But, Ilsildur will take up his father's sword
and defeat Sauron (in one blow, I might add). The One Ring will pass
to Ilsildur, but to the grief of us all, he does not destroy it . . .
The story then shifts to Aragorn.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
=======================================================================
------------------MISSON 2 - WEATHERTOP (ARAGORN ONLY)-----------------
=======================================================================
Part I - Get ready to rumble!
The Ring Wraiths will attack. Run to the bonfire in the middle of
Weathertop and attack it to light your torch. Once your torch is lit,
you must attack the Ring Wraiths. The most effective way to do this is
to parry their attacks with the (S) button and then use a fierce (T)
attack to hit them. Make sure your torch stays lit, otherwise you
will not damage the Ring Wraiths. If you get knocked down, your torch
will fizzle - just re-light it.
Just keep parrying any attacks using the (S) button and then smack
them with fierce attacks (T). Each Ring Wraith takes about three hits
before it will run away.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Once you defeat two Ring Wraiths, Aragorn will tell Frodo to keep away
from the Ring Wraiths. Frodo then dons the ring and becomes invisible.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the action. Now, when you fight the Ring Wraiths, a gray Frodo
can be seen scampering about Weathertop. Defeat one more Ring Wraith
and . . .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE
The Wraiths get angry and surround Frodo. (Yes, even though he is
invisible, they can still see him). The Wraiths stab him. Now for
the tricky part . . .

Part II - Protect Frodo!
Frodo is down! Repeat - Frodo is down! Now, you must fend off the
Ring Wraiths AND protect Frodo. An energy meter showing Frodo's life
will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
A bunch of Ring Wraiths will close in. Only concern yourself with the
ones that get close to Frodo. If they get too close, they will stab
Frodo, and that's not good 'cause if Frodo dies, it's game over.
Again, fend off ring wraiths with fierce attacks (T). Make sure your
torch stays lit and don't get too far away from Frodo because this will
leave him vulnerable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
After defeating the Ring Wraiths, you will have completed the mission
and will be rewarded with a movie cutscene of the forming of the
Fellowship in Rivendell. Here, you will acquire two new characters:
Legolas and Gimli!
