Lord Of The Rings, The: The Two Towers - Strategy Guide (Page 04)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Lord Of The Rings, The: The Two Towers - Strategy Guide (Page 04).
PART II - Arches & Archers
In this new section, Legolas and Aragorn have conveniently left you to
battle alone (hmmmmm . . .). But you will hear Legolas say: "We must
defeat these Uruk-Hai in order for Frodo to escape!"
Right away, one Uruk-Hai will come down from the left to play. Tell
him to go away. Take out the attacking Uruk-Hai first. Leave the
archers on the arches for later.
Two more Uruk-Hai will leap out and run at you. Just defeat all the
Uruk-Hai with Fierce (T) or combo attacks.
As you get closer to the stone arches, one more Uruk-Hai will leap out
from the right and start whacking away at you.
Note: There is a treasure chest full of throwing axes on the left side
of the path by the tree. Pick them up if you really want them.
Now, run down through the arches, taking out the archer with steel.
The camera will shift. Turn left and run up to the top of the arches
to pick up an experience block in another treasure chest, taking care
of any remaining archers on your way.
Some Uruk-Hai will run up on the arches and attack you. Just slap
'em with your BIG axe. Make your way back down the stone arches to
the forest floor and run to your right, down the path to find 3
Uruk-Hai slashing at you.
Move on down the forest path. The camera will shift again and you
will be staring at 3 archers. Use your throwing axes to defeat the
archer located in the trees, using the stone wall that's there for
protection from the other two archers. After that, just charge the
remaining archers and take them down with fierce (T) attacks.
Note: On the other side of the wall is a treasure chest full of
throwing axes if you really want them.
In the next open area, about 3 Uruk-Hai will run out of the trees, but
be careful here because more enemies will soon filter out of the
forest, giving you about 9 Uruk-Hai in all to deal with. Oh, and don't
forget the annoying archer up on the rock hitting you with arrows.
Gimli can take some pain, so run in there, slashing away. When you're
done, hit the archer on the rock with a few throwing axes (you have
to . . .).
Move on to see . . .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
More Uruk-Hai running through the forest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the action. Three archers will be perched in the forest.
Quickly get behind another conveniently placed rock wall, and use it
as a shield. This can get pretty annoying because the archers shoot
their arrows, surrounding you with a circle of flames. Stay away from
the fire. When you can, launch some throwing axes at the archers and
just wait for the fire to fizzle out. When it is safe, move on to your
right.
Note: If you find this part a bit too annoying, once the fires dies
down, you can just move on ahead and forget about the archers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Frodo will be hiding behind a tree, while Uruk-Hai warriors run past,
with absolutely NO clue he is there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PART III - Courtyard Ruins
Looking ahead, you will see a sort of courtyard, and one archer ready
to attack. Run down to where he is. The camera will shift, and you
will be in the courtyard ruins. About 3 more Uruk-Hai will run up
some stairs and attack you. Take care of them.
Note: Before running down the stairs, look at the wall. There is a
sort of doorway with some vines covering it. Run over to it
and break the vines with about 2-3 fierce (T) attacks. Run
inside to find a teasure chest with an experience block.
(Thanks to Will Steal and Jakob Parsons for this one.)
Dash down the steps to the lower portion of the courtyard. You will
be greeted by more angry Uruk-Hai and 2 archers (you MUST use your
throwing axes to defeat these archers).
Move on to the left and down some more steps. You will hear Aragorn
shout, "Hurry, Gimli!" And he and Legolas will rejoin you. Take care
of any remaining Uruk-Hai and run toward the bridge.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli will dash onto the bridge and fight some
Uruk-Hai.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PART IV - The Bridge
Beat up as many Uruk-Hai as fast as you can here. Your Uruk-Hai Meter
should be getting really close to zero by now. Check and make sure
that Frodo still has some life 'cause you don't want him to die. Combo
attacks are your friend here, and so is a full skill meter. To beat
this section, defeat enough Uruk-Hai to bring your count down to "0".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
A few Uruk-Hai will chase after Frodo, but luckily Legolas launches
arrows at them, allowing the Hobbit a free route of escape.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, you just have to defeat any Uruk-Hai that come at you. Boromir's
(one of The Fellowship) life meter will appear in the upper right-hand
corner of the screen. Just survive until Boromir's life is depleted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Sadly, Boromir dies. That nasty Lurtz did it! Go get him!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
************
BOSS - LURTZ
************
Note: If you die here, just continue, and you will automatically
restart from this point.
Part I - Bows & Arrows
Lurtz will fire flaming arrows at you. Dodge them. He will fire 3
three arrows successively and then pause. Use this time to hurl some
axes at him. But this can be a bit tough with Gimli as you'll probably
only be able to throw one (MAYBE two) when Lurtz pauses. But keep at
it!
Periodically, throughout the battle an annoying Uruk-Hai will attack
you as well. Be ready for that. But, the plus side here is that
sometimes he will drop "full life" potions. That is good.
After Lurtz takes about 5 throwing axes . . .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Lurtz will trade his bow for a sword.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PART II - Swords & Statues
The camera will shift to a strange angle, giving you a limited view of
the arena. Be careful because Lurtz is FAST! He will dash over to
you (he likes to sneak up from behind) and efficiently make ground
round out of you if you're not careful.
So, there are six states around the perimeter of the arena. Run over
to one and try to get Lurtz to attack you. Lurtz's sword will then
get lodged in the statue. While he is trying to pull it out, take
this opportunity to slap him with about 2 fierce (T) attacks.
Be warned, though . . . the statue will soon break, and Lurtz will
continue his pursuit of you. When that happens, just run to another
statue and repeat the process.
Note: If another annoying Uruk-Hai decides to join in the fun, just
hit him with fierce (T) attacks. The best time to do this is
when Lurtz gets his sword stuck in one of the statues.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Aragorn will let Boromir rest in peace.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
***You have completed Mission 5***
=======================================================================
----------------------MISSION 6 - FANGORN FOREST-----------------------
=======================================================================
Recommended Upgrades/Character Level:
Aragorn (Level 5)
Goblin Bane (S X R2)
Legolas (Level 4)
Goblin Bane (S X R2)
Gimli (Level 4)
Goblin Bane (S X R2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Merri & Pippin are taken away by the fleeing Uruk-Hai. Legolas,
Aragorn, and Gimli search for days, following their trail. Soon, they
come to Fangorn Forest and decide to split up to search for Uruk-Hai
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
AS ARAGORN
----------
Run on ahead. Destroy the log in your path with some fierce (T)
attacks. Move on until you come to a giant tree trunk blocking your
way. Three shielded orcs will burst out of the log, and four more
orcs will attack you from behind. Remember, use fierce (T) attacks
to break their shields.
Once you take care of all problems here, run into the giant log. The
camera will shift to inside the hollow trunk. Run about halfway down
the trunk, and the ceiling will collapse, giving you an Uruk-Hai to
deal with. Now, this Uruk-Hai has a very LONG sword that WILL hit you.
And it is very hard to parry his attacks, so this can make him pretty
annoying. DO NOT fight him head-on. (Oh, and arrows are useless
here.) Instead, run back out the way you came - up and out of the log
into the big open area of the forest. The sword-weilding Uruk-Hai will
follow. Dodge his attackss and wait for him to swing his sword around
his head TWICE. He will lose his balance and pause (you should hear a
"clank" noise). Use this opportunity to QUICKLY run up behind him and
hit him with 1-2 fierce (T) attacks to knock him over. Once he is on
the ground, press the (R2) button to thrust your sword down and finish
him off.
Note: The sword-weilding Uruk-Hai can turn around very fast. So, be
sure to get up behind him quickly when he is vulnerable.
When you are finished here, run back into the giant tree trunk and out
the other end. Break the small log in your path. Move on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Oh no, looks like you've got bigger problems than the sword-wielding
Uruk-Hai because two orcs coming slamming through the trees and fly
SMACK into the giant log. I wonder what awful, horrible thing can
toss orcs like rag dolls?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Run around the corner and into the open area to find a Cave Troll
emerging from the trees. (Remember this guy from Balin's Tomb?) Don't
worry, he's not as hard as he looks. Just wait for him to swing his
club, then run in and hit him with ONE fierce (T) attack. Be sure to
run away quickly (or press the [L2] button to jump back) because he
will take a swing at you. If you get too far away from him, he will
throw logs at you - watch out!
Just repeat this process until he falls over. With Aragorn, he will
go down in about 9 hits. He drops a "full life" potion, so pick it
up.
Break the fence and run ahead to see . . .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
An bunch of orcs are playing around a giant hole in a camp. They are
too busy knocking each other in to notice you behind them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sneak up on them and pull off a combo attack. When they finally notice
you, use fierce (T) attacks to break their shields.
Note: A happy treasure chest with a "full life" potion waits for you
near the back of the camp.
Run on to the river in the distance.
Here, the camera will shift, and some orcs will be waiting for you
downstream: 2 archers & 1 shielded orc. Take care of them and move
upstream.
The view will shift again. Just wade upstream until two orcs leap out
of the water wo attack. Knock them over and use (R2) to thrust your
weapon into the stream to finish them off.
Note: A good combo attack to use here is Goblin Bane (S X R2), as it
will defeat them in one movement.
Four more orcs will attack and one shielded orc as well. Beat them
silly.
When you're finished here, move on upstream and into the waterfall.
You'll enter a cave.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Another Cave Troll will come for you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Defeat this guy the same way you did the other. But, be careful - this
is a tight space in here. Again, the Cave Troll will drop a "full
life" potion.
Note: Be sure to get the experience block in the chest to the left.
Now, run toward the screen until you come to a wooden fence. Break it
and run down to some vines blocking the exit. Shatter them with a
couple fierce (T) attacks.
As soon as you do, a sword-wielding Uruk-Hai will come straight for
you. Be careful, because this is still a tight space. Again, get
behind him when he gets off balance. Knock him down and finish him
off when he is down.
Move ahead on the path to be greeted by two orcs and an archer. But
that's not all: a shielded orrc will also try to stab you in the butt.
First, take down the attacking orcs. Next, use your arrows to defeat
the archer. Break the log in your path and run ahead.
In a bit, a horde of orcs will attack (too many to count). Combos are
your best friend here. Once that is over, break the log in your way
and move onward.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Two cave trolls come out and lay waste to some poor little orcs. Guess
what . . .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
**************************
BOSS(ES) - TWO CAVE TROLLS
**************************
As if 1 wasn't enough . . . Now, you can choose one of two paths to get
to your foes:
Left - Break 3 logs
Right - Break some vines
I say go right and break the vines. Run through the tunnel past a chest
with a "full life" potion and turn around to face both Cave Trolls.
You'll have lots of space to work with here. These guys aren't any
different from the other Cave Trolls you've faced in the mission.
There's just two of them now.
The key here is to focus on one at a time, running up to use one fierce
(T) attack between club swings. Once you finish off one, move on to
the last Cave Troll, using the same process.
Now that they're no longer a problem, move over to the vines ahead -
but not before picking up the experience block in the treasure chest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Legolas, Aragorn, & Gimli meet up again, and find Gandalf The White.
Gandalf explains that there is now a union between the Two Towers and
that war is coming to Rohan.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
***You have completed Mission 6***

AS LEGOLAS
----------
Even with Legolas, use mostly sword attacks on this level. Run on
ahead. Destroy the log in your path with some fierce (T) attacks.
Move on until you come to a giant tree trunk blocking your way. Three
shielded orcs will burst out of the log, and four more orcs will attack

it up.
Break the fence and run ahead to see . . .

CUTSCENE:
Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli ride across the Plains of Rohan. They find
Uruk-Hai raiding a village.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
AS ARAGORN
----------
Gandalf The White will be with you briefly. Both of you show up at the
village gates. Two Uruk-Hai attack immediately.
Go inside the gates when you're finished with them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:
Gandalf and Aragorn come in through the gates to find a horde of
Uruk-Hai tormenting the villagers. Gandalf knocks some Uruk-Hai back
with his staff and says, "We must save all that we can or this village
will fall."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Okay, so you have to do what Gandalf says. To save the
villagers, you must fight your way through the town VERY
QUICKLY. A meter showing an approximation of the remaining
villagers will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the
screen. If that depletes, you will fail the mission. Ready?
Here we go!
After the cutscene, you will be dropped in the village square with one
problem: a horde of Uruk-Hai coming after you. There are a few
villagers scurrying about here. Defeat the Uruk-Hai while protecting
the villagers. When Gandalf says, "You must press on. I am needed
elsewhere," he will bust open a door on a nearby building and
disappear. Run inside.
Inside, there are villagers trapped at the back wall by fire. The
stairs are also blocked by fire. Destroy the table in the middle of
the room, making your way back to a barrel by the stairs. Break the
barrel, and it will splash water all over the fire, allowing the
villagers to escape.
Run behind the counter to the left and break everything in your path
to get to a treasure chest with an experience block.
