Lord Of The Rings, The: The Two Towers - Strategy Guide (Page 09)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Lord Of The Rings, The: The Two Towers - Strategy Guide (Page 09).

------------------------
Floor 15 - 1 Cave Troll
           4 orc archers  
------------------------

Now things are getting interesting.  You’ve made it this far, but will 
Saruman’s minions get you?  

Run around the perimeter of the arena and take out the archers with 
speed (X) attacks first.  Dodge the club of the Cave Troll.  Run in and 
hit him with ONE fierce (T) attack.  (You MIGHT be able to get two 
fierce (T) attacks in, but it’s hard with Gimli.)  Get away.  Repeat.  
This particular Cave Troll doesn’t throw logs, so it’s all good.  

Note:  You can line up so the Cave Troll continuously walks into the 
       podium in the center of the arena.  That way, he’ll be stuck and 
       won’t be able to get to you.  So, when he takes a swing, you can 
       run up and get a free hit!  

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:  

Saruman laughs.  “Your end is near . . .” he warns.  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------
Floor 16 - 2 Sword-wielding Uruk-Hai 
           2 orc archers  
------------------------------------

The sword-wielders run FAST.  Wait for them to get off balance and then 
attack.  Then, attack them from behind.  Stab them on the ground, if 
you have to.  (Take ANY opportunity to finish them off if they fall to 
the ground.)  

Now, work on the archers.  

------------------------------------
Floor 17 - 2 Sword-wielding Uruk-Hai  
           2 Uruk-Hai 
           3 orc archers  
------------------------------------

Again, the sword-wielders take priority, here.  Finish them off, and 
the rest of the enemies should be easy.  Use Wrath of Moria on the 
other enemies once you’ve taken care of the sword-wielders.  

------------------------------------
Floor 18 - 1 Cave Troll
           1 Sword-wielding Uruk-Hai 
           3 orc archers
------------------------------------

Save the Cave Troll for last.  He hurls logs at you, so be careful.  
Make sure you don’t run in a straight line, as you will get pegged 
by logs.  

Take care of the sword-wielder first, and get the archers out of the 
way.  Now, it’s just you and the Cave Troll.  You can run up and hit 
him ONCE with a fierce (T) attack between log throws.  But beware of 
his club . . .   

------------------------
Floor 19 - 2 Cave Trolls 
           2 orc archers 
           2 orcs 
------------------------

Work on the archers first, then the orcs.  Last, take on the Cave 
Trolls, preferably one at a time.  One of the Cave Trolls throws logs.  
The other doesn’t.  

Note:  If you get the Cave Trolls together, they can hit each other.  
       Try and get them to accidentally hit each other.  It will make 
       the floor easier.  

Whenever, one of the Cave Trolls takes a swing his club, and the other 
is far enough away, run up and slap the swinging cave troll with a 
fierce (T) attack.  It doesn’t matter which one takes a swing and 
leaves himself vulnerable to attack.  If you have an opening for an 
attack, use it!  Don’t try to take them at once, as you WILL get 
flattened.  

Another Method:  Dispatch the dark coloured Cave Troll with throwing
                 axes, and run around the edge, away from the Troll.
                 Then come in and do ONE fierce attack and press L2 as 
                 you finish it to jump back and out of the Troll's 
                 Range. Continue. If there is more than one Troll, then 
                 they may hit each other if they attack you and you 
                 move out of the way.  (Special Thanks to AzureXVIII 
                 for this strategy.)  

--------------------------
Floor 20 - 3 Cave Trolls
           2 shielded orcs
           2 orc archers
--------------------------

Whew!  You made it this far, but don’t rest just yet!  

Again, take out the archers first, if you can.  Then, the shielded orcs 
(either with fierce attacks or Wrath of Moria).  Remember to parry the 
shielded orcs’ attacks.  Sometimes, the Cave Trolls will take out the 
other enemies for you!  

Next, work on the Cave Trolls.  See if you can get them to clump 
together and accidentally hit each other before you even try to touch 
them.  Do this by running around the perimeter of the arena.  If they 
hit each other, it will save you time and energy.  One Troll will go 
down soon.  

Note:  If you get too close one of the Cave Trolls, instead of slapping 
       you with his club, he might decide to pick you up and fling you 
       around.  That’s not good.  

Now, with two of the Cave Trolls left, again, wait for one to swing, 
and just run in, get a quick fierce attack in, and run away.  The 
Trolls might accidentally beat on each other too.  But you’d have 
absolutely no problem with them doing your work for you, would you?  

When all enemies on Floor 20 are gone . . .  

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CUTSCENE:  

Well, I won’t spoil it for you.
