Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Lord Of The Rings, The: The Third Age - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

 'Reach the ancient Chamber of Records on the far side of Moria to perhaps
 learn more about the hallways that exit the mountain to the east.'


Return to the junctions and make your way to the the room which earlier 
contained the locked chest which was not accessible without the 7 Runes (if
you are coming from the throne room, it is the junction on the right).
You can now open this chest which contains the Dwarven Velvet Hauberk and 
the Dwarven Velvet Tabard for Hadhog. You also get a new Epic Scene - 
His Balrog Spells. 

Now, go around all the walls of this room to find a hidden door. It is 
slightly to the left of the area. Idrial will speak in a different language,
and the door will open. You receive a new Epic Scene - Dwarrowdelf.

There is a chest on the right containing 3rd Age Silverlode Raging Waters
Pendant for Idrial. Go to the end of the room where there is a save point.
This will complete the 'Find the Chamber of Records' quest.

You now have completed 100% of the West Moria Chapter.


 -----------
|East Moria |
 -----------

 'Moria's mazes open upon the vast underground Dwarf city of Dwarrodelf,
 where a terrible flaming monster is said to lurk.'

As you move on to the next room, you will be attacked by a band of goblins.
Use Hadhod's Endure Flame skill, and Idrial's Haste of Elves to speed up
your strongest player. Also use Berethor's Leadership skills to improve the
strength of the party. I received a 3rd Age Woodland Steel Falchion (Idrial),
a 2nd Age Elven Ring of Wrath (Berethor) and a Dunedain Wool Captain's Cloak
(Elegost).

View the next cut scene, which will begin a new quest.


 [EM1] Reach the Bridge of Khazad-dum
 ======================================

 'The Bridge of Khazad-dum is the only exit from Moria leading east. Travel
 through Great Halls and search for crumbling stairways.'


Walk on to the next room, and another two new quests will start.


 [EM2] Find Balin's War Axe
 ============================

 'Weapons crafted by Dwarves are too powerful to leave behind for Goblins.
 Find an axe Balin was rumored to have ordered buried here.'


 [EM3] Find the Dwarf Lord Statue
 ==================================

 'Hadhod must search out the statue of Nain and pay homage to this great
 Dwarf Lord and founder of Moria'.


At the save point, you will get notification that you have unlocked a
new chapter in Evil Mode.

As you walk further into the room, on the left hand side, there is a dead
end area that contains a chest with Ithilien Ranger Leather Overbraces for
Elegost. Further in, you have to fith a party of Goblins. Use Berethor's
Leadership skills to strengthen the party, and Elegost's Arrows of Flurry.
I received a Gondorian Wool Fountain Guard Cloak for Berethor after the battle.

Furthur on, you will fight a large Cave Troll. After you defeat him, you will 
complete the 'Find Balin's War Axe' quest and begin a new quest. You also 
receive a 3rd Age Dwarven Black Iron Walking Axe for Hadhod and a new Epic 
Scene - Troll Slaves. This is the first of nine trolls you have to defeat.


 [EM4] Kill Nine Trolls of Moria
 ================================

 'When Moria was overrun, nine fearsome Trolls led the host of Mordor.
 Avenge the fall of Moria and the death of Hadhod's family.'


Before you reach the door, on the right there is a small area (looks like a 
whale's tail!) that contains a chest with a 3rd Age Dwarf Belt Buckle of Moria
Steel for Hadhog. Further up, on the left, there is another chest that contains
a Cracked Elfstone of Blunt Defense.

Pass through the door. Save your game at the Save Point.

As you approach the room with the Dwarf Lord Statue (the orange dot), you will
be attacked by a Cave Troll and a goblin. I received a Dwarven Steel Pauldrons
for Hadhog after defeating them. This will complete the 'Find the Dwarf Lord 
Statue' quest, and you will have defeated Troll 2 out of 9. There is a chest
containing Gondorian Steel Citadel Guard Greaves for Berethor in that area.

Travel onwards until you see a cut scene, and you will receive an Epic Scene -
Aragorn of the Dunedain. Move on to the next save point, where you will 
receive two new quests.


 [EM5] Find Dwarven Dragon Armor
 ================================

 'Retrieve a suit of armor crafted ages ago as a priceless Dwarven gift
 to former allies, but never delivered because of Moria's fall.'


 [EM6] Slay Goblin Spirit Wielder
 =================================

 'End the rising power of the Goblin horde by killing the Goblin Spirit
 Wielder who conducts sacrifices in the Great Halls.'


There is a chest not too far from the save point on the left, containing a 
Cracked Elfstone of Fire Protection. Go down the dark cave, and view the cut
scene. You will immediately enter a battle with a group of goblins, following
which, I received a Dunedain Suede Leather Skirt of Arnor (Elegost) and a 3rd
Age Goblin Shield of Moria (Berethor). This completes the 'Slay Goblin Spirit
Wielder' quest.

There is a chest in the area to the left of the fiery stuff, which contains a
3rd Age Gondorian Brooch of Spirit Warding (Elegost).

Take the path outwards and you will soon find a new quest.


 [EM7] Stop the Goblin Drummer
 ==============================

 'The Goblin Drummer will alert all of Moria's Goblin horde if he is not 
 silenced.'


As you make your way towards the goblin drummer, you should enter another 
battle with a cave troll (3 out of 9). After you defeat the goblin drummer, (I
received a Gondorian Steel Citadel Guard Fault for Berethor), the quest 'Stop
the Goblin Drummer' will be completed.

Go to the next chamber which is located at the other end of the room. It's
a underground tunnel. A new quest will begin.


 [EM8] Kill the Goblin Chieftain
 =================================

 'Cut down the Goblin Chieftan to avenge the desecration of the tomb of 
 Hadhod's ancestors.'

To the left of the save point, there is a chest containing a 3rd Age Dwarf
Belt Buckle of Moria Gold (Hadhod). Follow the long and windy path, and 
eventually you will do battle with the 4th Cave Troll (received a 3rd Age Dwarf
Belt Buckle of Moria Silver for Hadhod).

The area to the left has a chest containing a 3rd Age Steel Dwarven War Hammer
for Hadhod. The dead end area on the right contains a Cracked Elfstone of 
Earth Protection.

Walk up the stairs to view the Moria statues and enter a fight with the 5th
Cave Troll (received 3rd Age Steel Broad Sword of Gondor for Berethor, 2nd
Age Dwarven Dragon Helm for Hadhod, and 3rd Age Ithilien Band of Fortification
for Berethor). This completes the 'Find Dwarven Dragon Armor' quest. A new 
quest will begin.


 [EM9] Find the Goblin bow
 ===========================

 'It is rumored that a great Goblin bow of power lies somewhere deep within
 Moria.'


Examine the glowing light towards the end of the room to receive a 3rd Age 
Rohan Steel Long Sword for Idrial. Go along the curvy path on the right. 
Follow the path, until you go down a tunnel. View the next cut-scene, and 
you will be ambushed by a group of goblins. After defeating them, you will
have completed the 'Kill the Goblin Chieftain' quest. A new quest has begun.
You also receive an Epic Scene - Hadhod's Sorrow.

 
 [EM10] Find Lorien's Golden helm
 ==================================

 'Somewhere in Moria a Golden Battle Helm awaits the Elves of Lorien, lost
 payment for safe Dwarven passage beneath the trees.'


Examine the glowing light to receive a 3rd Age Elven Gold Plated Greaves for 
Idrial and a 3rd Age Moria Goblin Shortbow for Elegost. This will complete the
'Find the Goblin bow' quest.

Find the next save point, and save your game. I was attacked by 2 trolls at 
once a bit further on. After you enter the next room, you will complete the 
quest 'Reach the Bridge of Khazad-dum' and receive an Epic Scene - 
The Great Bridge. Walk forward to view a cut-scene. Immediately after the cut
scene, you will enter a battle with a couple of Cave Trolls. After defeating 
them, the quest 'Kill Nine Trolls of Moria' is completed.

There is a chest nearby containing a 3rd Age Dwarven Battle Shield of Moria 
and a 3rd Age Elven Gold Plated Battle Helm, which completes the 'Find 
Lorien's Golden Helm' quest. 

You have now completed 100% of the East Moria chapter.

My advice is to go back to the save point and save, as you have a tough
battle coming up. You will be doing battle with the Balrog, however, you 
will gain a new character, Gandalf. He is very powerful, use his Bolt of 
Valar to deal 5000+ damage each time. His Wizards Drain will drain the Balrog 
of AP and restore some to your party. If your health is down, use Ent Draught
Flask on the party, which will restore greater Health to all, or Kingsfoil
Leaves, which will restore a smaller amount of Health Points.

Here's a strategy which was emailed to me by Matt McCrady.

****************************************************************************

I don't know if this works the same for everyone, but by the time I
defeat the two final cave trolls, I have built up my attack meter to
Perfect, ad I leave it there for the battle with the Balrog.  After
defeating the trolls  save my game, as you advise, and then I go into
battle.

I use my first few turns this way.  I use the Morgul Decay item to
remove the Balrog's armor--whether this does any good, I can't tell,
but at least I do not get the message that Balrog is "Immune" to it.
I use Berethor to increase the company's "Might."  I use a "Defy Fire"
vial on Gandalf.  And then finally, I unleash my "Perfect" attack.  I
use the "Fell Clawing" attack.  The arrow volley does not do enough
damage, and the Balrog is immune to the attack in which the Ent throws
a boulder.

After all this, the Balrog usually gets a turn.  Sometimes he wipes
out my band of Merry men with the Roaring Inferno, sometimes he just
uses the sword or whip on Gandalf.  Anyway, at some point everyone but
Gandalf is going to be dead.  I usually revive only Idriel at first.
It is important to keep at least one other character alive in order to
keep Gandalf alive.  Idriel is best because she can use the "Gift of
Galadriel" to heal Gandalf.  Her water attack is also very potent
against the Balrog.  These two facts make her more indispensable than
the other members of the party.

The battle usually goes back and forth at this point, with Gandalf
using the light of the Valar to strike the Balrog, and the Balrog
repeatedly killing either Gandalf or Idriel.  It's important to keep
Gandalf healed enough that both characters don't die at the same time.

Eventually, the Balrog will have used or been drained of enough Attack
Points that he can only use the whip or sword, which greatly increases
one's odds of winning.  At this point, I revive other members of the
party.  Elegost is good because ranged shots seem to be the only thing
that does any damage to the Balrog.  Reviving him and Berethor,
though, is really nothing more than a delaying tactic to give Gandalf
and Idriel time to take deal some serious damage to the Balrog.  I
usually use Berethor and Elegost only for using "Items" to heal the
party or deliver attack points to the party.  Sometimes I attack with
Elegost, though.  Once you've got all four members of the party
revived, and the Balrog is only striking with whip or sword, you've
got the upper hand.  I usually enter the battle with 30 Elf Medicines,
and I use lots of them.  You can revive and revive and revive until
eventually you win just by continually reviving until Gandalf can deal
enough damage to win.

****************************************************************************


Another strategy from someone who emailed me:


****************************************************************************

Use Hadhod's Endure Flames then cast his stone shield. Idrial should be 
alive to heal...you should cast the shield on her.

****************************************************************************

After you defeat the Balrog, you will enter East Emnet Gullies. You will 
receive Epic Scene 36 - 38.

After I completed the chapter, I noticed that Scene 31 was missing, so I went
back to East Moria to search for it. As soon as I entered East Moria, there
was a shining light in front of me. Examine it to get Gondorian Steel Captain's
Guard Pauldrons for Berethor and an Epic Scene - The Fellowship's Passage Here.


 -------------------
|East Emnet Gullies |
 -------------------

 'The great Anduin River flows south, past steep uninhabited gullies that
 finally open upon the vast green expanse of Rohan.'

At the save point in the beginning, there is a chest containing an Ithillien
Wool Ranger Cloak for Elegost on the left.

Move forward and view a cut-scene and receive Epic Scene - Boromir has Fallen.
A new character, Aranel, will join your party. Enter a battle against several 
Uruk-hai. After defeating them, Aranel will ask you to find his elves. This 
begins several new quests.


 [EEG1] Everybody's Grudge

 unchecked for generations and now it is time that it came to a stop.'

 =================================

 'The Rohirrim Outpost may hold clues about reaching the Plains of Rohan.
 Locate and explore this hidden sanctuary.'


Move back to the starting junction (assume the original save point is behind 
you). From here, I went to the right. Somewhere along the way, I fought a 
battle with a group of Orcs, receiving a Gondorian Steel Captain's Guard Helm
for Berethor and Epic Scene - Tree Guardians. Somewhere before the junction,
on the left, there is a chest containing 3rd Age Dwarven Steel Mortising Axe 
for Hadhod. At the junction, turn right. View the next cut scene, and a batle
with a large Warg will begin. After defeating the Warg, I received a 3rd Age
Fangorn Steel Falchion for Idrial. This completes the 'Everybody's Grudge' 
quest.

Examine all the glowing lights to receive a 3rd Age Gold Ithillien Long
Sword for Berethor.

Continue to the right, where you will find a save point and many glowing
lights. Examine all the lights to get several items. There is also a body

After saving your game, you get a notification that you have unlocked a 
new chapter for Evil Mode. 

Return to the way you came going straight at the junction, and follow the 
path to the dead-end tunnel. There is a chest here containing 1st Age 
Eregion Weapon Warding Pendant for Idrial. Battle with a group of Wargs,
and I received Dwarven Black Iron Vambraces for Hadhod. Talk to the elf 
sitting down on the rock, and this will complete the 'Find 2 Elves in the 
Cave' quest. You also receive an Epic Scene - Wargs Raiding Rohan.

Go back to the junction and turn right. Move straight and slightly to the
right. View the next cut scene with Gandalf. A battle with a group of Orcs
will begin immediately after that. Turn left to find a save point. This will
also complete the 'Locate the Rohan Outpost' quest. You will receive an
Epic Scene - War Comes to Rohan. Continue until you reach the end of the 
path, there is a chest containing a 3rd Age Rohan Infantry Shield for
Berethor.

Turn around and go straight ahead. You will face a battle with some Orcs and
an Uruk-hai. I received a 3rd Age Rohan Shortbow for Elegost after the battle.
You also get an Epic Scene - Gandalf's Return. Further on, battle another 
party of Orcs and receive an Epic Scene - Saruman's Betrayal. View another

 the Elf scout force, smash through their camp.'


Turn left at the next junction towards the orange dot. View the cut scene

 'A group of Uruk-hai has captured a lone Rohan Soldier. Find and then
 rescue him before it is too late.'

 
Make your way to the final orange dot, where you will be attacked by 
a group of Uruk-Hai. This will complete the 'Find an Elf Near the
River' quest. He will also give you a new quest and an Epic Scene - 
Defending the River.


 [EEG9] Liberate the Stockade
 ==============================

 'A tunnel leads to an overlook where the Uruk-hai have captured a
 Rohan Stockade. You must defeat them to retrieve the supplies.'


Head along the long and windy path towards the orange dot. Along the way,
you will enter into a battle with Uruk-hai, after which, I received 3rd Age
Elven Gold Plated Pauldrons for Idrial.

Near the save point, there is a chest containing a 3rd Age Rohirrim Brooch of
Fortification for Elegost. Further on, you will enter a battle with a group
of Uruk-hai after which I received Gondorian Steel Citadel Guard Vambraces 
for Berethor. Go to the end of the path, and you will enter a battle with a

 villages to look to their skilled horse warriors for protection.'


 [PR1] Riders in the village

 'A group of Riders of the Mark were seen patrolling the near by village. Find
 these Riders and inform them to head to Helm's Deep.'

Move forwards to the next screen until you see a battle-like structure. You 
are not able to enter this structure yet, so take the other route back to 
Morwen's village. Keep to the right, towards the orange dot. This will 
complete the 'Riders near Edge of Fangorn' quest.

Turn around to go back and you will view a cut scene. You will receive an

enemy, you receive a new quest from the male villager.


 [PR8] Reach the Great Hall
 ============================

 'Hurry to the Great Hall upon the highest ground of Snowbourne village. To
 reach it you must find levers that open its locked gates.'


There is a chest just in front containing a 3rd Age Rohirrim Brooch of Haven
for Elegost. Assuming you just came in from the entrance, take the left
junction upwards towards the first orange dot. Battle a group of Uruk-hai to
receive a Gondorian Wool Captain's Guard Cloak for Berethor and an Epic Scene
- Saruman and Theoden. There is a chest containing Gondorian Steel Captain's
Guard Vambraces for Berethor near a lever. Press X to activate the lever. Go
opposite to activate the second lever.

Go down the path and back to the entrance. This time, take the right 
junction upwards towards the orange dot. Battle with more Orcs and Urul-hai
to receive a 2nd Age Elven Steel Battle Helm of Lorien for Idrial. Press X
to activate another lever. There is a chest containing a 3rd Age Rohirrim
Royal Guard Shield for Berethor nearby.

Go back to the entrance and take the left path again, past the gate that is 
still closed. There are two more levers to activate up here. Battle some wild
men to receive a 2nd Age Dwarf Belt Buckle of the Miners for Hadhod as well
as an Epic Scene - The Golden Hall and Grima. Now, go back to the gate, 
which has now been opened.

Turn left at the junction. At the bottom of the path, there is a chest 
containing a 3rd Age Morgul Iron Piercing Axe for Morwen. At the top of the
path, turn another lever. Battle some wild men and Uruk-hai to receive a
3rd Age Galadhrim Pendant of Restoration for Idrial as well as an Epic
Scene - Old Strongholds. There is also a chest at one of the nooks and 
crannies containing Rohirrim Iron Greaves for Morwen.

Now, you are able to reach the Great Hall (follow the orange dot). This
completes the 'Reach the Great Hall' quest. Go inside the hall, and a 
boss battle will begin. Use Berethor's Leadership skills to your 
advantage, if you have levelled up enough, this should be no problem.
Take out the two Uruk-hai's first before focusing your attacks on Grima.

After the battle, I received a 3rd Age Rohan Steel Royal Court Long Sword
for Berethor, a Dunedain Chain-Mail Hauberk for Elegost and a 3rd Age Gold
Cuisse of Sanctuary for Morwen and an Epic Scene - The Great Test to Come.
This completes the 'Liberate Snowbourne' quest. There is a chest 
containing Rohirrim Iron Pauldrons for Eoden nearby. Activate the lever in
the room to open the final gate.

Walk straight out and view the cut scene. You willk receive an Epic Scene -
Aragorn's Sacrifice. Move forward and view another cut scene. You will enter
a battle with a couple of Wargs. Go into the dead end to recover some 
treasure, the most
important being a 3rd Age Rohirric Bronze Felling Axe for Morwen. Follow
the path until you come to a save point. Save your game and continue on.
You will be attacked by Wargs, but a new player, Eaoden, will join your
party. You receive a Rohirrim Banded Leather Helm for Eaoden and a 
3rd Age Dread Orc Blade of Mordor for Berethor after the battle as well
as an Epic Scene - The Horse and the Rider.

Make your way to the end of the path. The first time, I got to the end of
the path, and saw the dead bodies scattered around. However, it was like
there was an invisible wall, and I couldn't go any further. What I did was
to go back and forth from the tunnel to the save point, and the second time,
a cut scene began when I reached the last save point. This time, I saw the
cut scene between Morwen and her dead family. This completes the 
'Morwen's Family' quest.

A battle begins right after the cut scene. I received a 3rd Age Steel Long 
Sword of Eomer's House for Idrial, a Dwarven Boiled Leather Greaves for 
Hadhod and a 3rd Age Rohirrim Shield of Kings for Berethor after the battle.

This completes 100% of the Plains of Rohan Chapter.

|Helm's Deep |

Walk forward, there is a chest containing Rohirrim Boiled Leather Jerkin for
Morwen near the save point. After saving, you get a notification that you have
unlocked a new chapter for Evil Mode.

Walk straight ahead, up the stair case. Turn right at the end of the path, 
and enter the tunnel-like room.

You are now in the armory. Examine all the glowing lights to get items, the

Exit the armory, and walk straight to the end of the path. Enter the tunnel
