7. FAQ
--------

Q. No matter how many enemies I kill, I don't level up!  What's wrong with my game?
A. Nothing.  You only level up after certain events.

Q. Then what's the point of fighting enemies?
A. Usually useful, if not necessary, items are hidden behind them.  That, or they're usually
blocking your progress to another area.  That, and later on it's kinda fun.

Q. Why didn't you mention the {insert weapon name here} that I found in your walkthrough?
A. If I didn't list it, chances are better than not that you don't need it and it'll just waste
my time telling and your space picking up.

Q. Should I buy this game?
A. Check my review at GameFAQs.com  Note that this is just my opinion, most people didn't like
the game.  Don't get pissy with me if you buy it and don't like it.

Q. Should I get this or The Two Towers?
A. The Two Towers for sure.

Q. Too late, I got this!
A. Oh well.

Q. Why can't I put on The Ring?
A. Because I said so.

Q. My game froze in Moria!  Help!
A. It's becoming well known that there's a glitch in Moria that causes your game to freeze and
prevent you from further progress.  There is a way around it though.  This was an official
solution provided by Black Label games about:
"In the Mines of Moria, there is a large open room with an orc in it. When the player
approaches the door to the northeast, Gandalf informs the player that the passage is blocked
and that the player must go deeper into Moria. At this point, the player should save the game.
If the game freezes, the player should reload from the saved game, walk toward the doorway that
causes the glitch and push the Start button right before the screen fades. If the player does
this correctly, the save menu appears as the screen is fading. Save the game, and then continue
the game. The game will continue with the player on the other side of the doorway, and the
player will be free to move. It is very important that the player pushes Start as he or she
walks toward the doorway and the screen is fading."
Thanks to Black Label for providing the information and Gamespot for posting it.  It takes some
great timing to do this right.  So, like it says, save beforehand, and DO NOT save again unless
the screen is fading while the save screen is up.

Q. [INSERT CHARACTER NAME] didn't drop the [INSERT ITEM] they were supposed to!
A. We all know how glitchy this game is.  I really can't help you if it's screwed up.  If you
know someone is supposed to give you an item, save before talking to them.  I've gotten about
umpteen different e-mails on Bilbo not giving up the Mithril Vest and the elves not giving up
Gimli's axe.

Q. A different glitch screwed me up and...
A. If this is what your e-mail is sounding like, just stop.  Once again, I can't help you.
Save often.

Q. Why didn't you answer my e-mail?  I followed your guidelines.
A. There was a period around Christmas where the same questions (See above three for examples)
that I really just didn't want to answer.  It would be a waste of time.

Q. I told you where the dwarf at the Last Bridge was!  Why didn't you give me credit, I'm suing.
A. About 200 people told me.  Cam Wonka was the first.

Q. Is there anywhere I can heal the fellowship.
A. Yes, press B, go to your inventory...  No.  You have to use items.

Q. I heard Gandalf can learn/use spells.  How?
A. He can't.  The only "spell" you use is when you attack an enemy with his staff.

Q. I need help in Moria.
A. I did my best to help you there.  The mere memory of that place brings tears to my eyes, and
e-mails asking for my help there make me go curl up in a corner for a few hours, sobbing.

I will add more as I am asked frequently.

8. Cheats
----------

Unlimited Money:
Near the start of the game, you will hear the riddle of the bog shoes from a man. Near that man
him is a Hobbit hole on a hill. Go up two steps to reach it. Inside are three bookcases. Two
are on either side of the fireplace and the third is on the other wall. Search the lone
bookcase to get a gold coin. Exit the room and reenter. The coin will be on the floor again.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Duplicate Items
Drop any item and save the game. Go back to the current game, and where you last left your
items, there should be another extra item.  This can be repeated as many times as you want.

-----------------------
9. Really Bad Glitches
-----------------------
These are a few of the really bad glitches that people have encountered and constantly pestered
me about in e-mails.  If your game ending glitch is listed here, please don't bother me with it.
I CANNOT under any circumstances help you until I find the solution.  When I find it, it will
be listed here.  If you have another game ending glitch, I can't help you there either.  I only
encountered numbers 1 and 3.

1. The infamous Moria glitch
Location: The Mines of Moria
What Happens: In this well known glitch, Gandalf says you must go deeper into the mines.  Well,
when you go, the game freezes.
Is there a solution?:  Yes, see the FAQ.

2. Drop the damn axe!
Location: Rivendell
What Happens: When you collect Sting from Bilbo, you go to show it to the elves, right?  They
should drop Gimli's axe, right?  Well, a lot of you have said that they won't drop the axe.
Is there a solution?: No.  But I have a theory.  You might need Bilbo's Mithril Coat as well.
If that's the case...

3. Bilbo's missing armor
Location: Rivendell
What Happens: First off, I don't know if this is a game ending glitch.  But it might be.  In
this very common glitch, Bilbo won't drop his mithril armor.
Is there a solution?: No.  Just save beforehand and try again.

4. Where is everyone?
Location: Rivendell... Again.
What Happens: So you got Gimli's axe.  Or not.  Whatever the case, when you go to see the
fellowship when you're ready to leave Rivendell, something's missing.  You only see Boromir
there, no Gandalf, no Legolas, and still no Gimli.  Not even an invisible one.  You can't leave
Rivendell.
Is there a solution?:  No.  Try doing everything, make sure you have every item.  Including the
mithril coat.

More will be added as people complain about them to me.

E-Mail: kingmattress@hotmail.com
AOL Instant Messenger: Moriquend17 (Preferred method of contact)
MSN Instant Messenger: wontbeusingthis@hotmail.com
ICQ#: 40115584 (Rarely on)

Stuff to E-mail me about:
Info I've missed (Nothing I haven't gotten to yet.)
Items I've missed (NO WEAPONS)
Intelligent questions
Reporting guide theft

Stuff that will have you immediately blocked:
Weapon Locations
Complaining about anything
Telling me to hurry up in writing this
Questions answered in FAQ
Asking for a ROM
Asking for information I haven't made it to in the guide (at this point, don't ask from
Lothlorien on).
Asking to sell my guide
SPAM!!!
Anything stupid, pretty much.  I won't be angry if you overlooked something in the FAQ (please
double-check, though) but if it's clear you didn't look, you're gone.  If you do any of these,
I won't even get your e-mail anymore.  Need help after that?  Tough.  If you supply me with
info that I missed, you will be given credit where it is deserved.

Also, I'd like to point out that this game is full of glitches.  If one is screwing you up, I
really can't help you.  Please don't bother me with these.

One more thing.  I WILL finish this guide.  Stop asking.  I have school and a job, so stop
pestering me to finish it.  I'll finish it when I can.  I have a life outside of video games.
Not much of one, but it's still there.

If your e-mail seems worthy of my eyes, send away.  I'll either ignore it or you'll get a very
speedy reply.

11. Version History
-------------------
0.3: First published version of this guide.  Walkthrough through the Old Forest, the Main
Characters, and about half of the stories. (Didn't get published after all)

0.6: After a long absence from even playing the game (I got an Xbox, it's a bit time consuming),
I updated.  Hoping that this version of the FAQ gets published.  Added solution to Moria glitch
in FAQ, added more supporting characters, walkthrough extended up to Rivendell.  Added Cheats
section and some contact information.

1.0: The guide is incomplete, but I figured it's large enough for a version 1.0.  Walkthrough
completed through Moria.  Damn Moria was hard.  Character information updated.  Contact info
and thank yous updated.  Level up section created.  Enemy section created, no info yet.

1.5: Guide complete, level up section complete.  I'm gonna go sleep now...  Maybe go out and
buy Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.  Treat myself.  I'll revisit this to add an Enemies section
sometime and update the FAQ.

2.0: I decided to revisit the guide.  I noticed many small typing mistakes (forgetting to
update section numbers and the such), so I fixed those.  There's a new thing listed under
characters: starting stats for the fellowship.  I added a section for the glitches that people
complain about most.  I also began an item list and scrapped the enemy section.  I personally
don't have the means of finding out some of the info, and I'm not willing to spend $15 on a
guide to find out.
