south. Make your way to the northeastern corner of the
room. When there, go straight down through the open door.
You will immediately encounter a hero creature with two
allies. After disposing of them, continue down and turn
left when you can. Continue left down the long passage
until you can go up. Go up until you reach Gandalf and
the rest of your party. After a short admonishment:
Cutscene-
Gandalf: Gimli and Legolas are ahead of us... Quickly!
Gandalf and Frodo will run upwards. Follow them to the
end ofthe level.

You start off in front of a closed door. In order to
progress you need to hit two switches, but one doesn't
appear until the other one is hit. First, start going to
the right, defeating all of the enemies that you find. If
you follow the map you should be able to find and hit the
lever. Return to the starting location. Next you want to
go left, and you should be able to find the switch inside
of a room. Again return to the starting location. Now you
can go down the stairs directly in front of your starting
location. You will be in a huge room with several pillars
and many enemies and breakable containers. Two hero
creatures will also be in this area. Continue in the same
direction and down more stairs. You will be in a room with
two more hero creatures. There are two stairs, one (to the
left) has nothing, while the other thinner one leads up
to a Shrine. To progress, you have to take the path in
betwwen two of the stairs to an open trapdoor, which will
take you to a lower floor. On the lower floor, you should
generally move toward the right and you will eventually
reach the exit.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 9: Moria - Balin's Tomb
-----------------------------
Difficulty: Medium, boss: Cave Troll
Quick Hint: Defeat the Cave Troll
Starting Location: SE
Ending Location: Top of the screen
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
This level is a boss level, so be prepared for a fight.
After entering this level start going up, use the red pool
you pass if you need health. After going up, go to the
left until you see some of your comrades by an open tomb.

storming in from the top with several enemies:
Cutscene-
Aragorn: A tomb within a tomb...
Frodo: Aragorn, Orcs are near!
Aragorn: I hear drums... on your guard!
(Cave troll comes out)
Defeat him (Look at Bosses section for hints). Once you
defeat him, go up through the door where he came from and
continue going up until the end of the level.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 10: Moria - Flight
------------------------
Difficulty: Very East
Quick Hint: Leave
Starting Location: Bottom
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide: This level is one of the simplest. After
defeating the few enemies that great you as soon as you
enter, continue up until you see your allies and enter a
cutscene:
Cutscene-
Gimli: Let them come! There is one Dwarf yet in Moria who
still draws breath!
(Enemies surround you but then start fleeing away)
(Ground shaking)
Gimli: What is this devilry?
Gandalf: A Balrog... a demon of the ancient world! Run!
To the Bridge of Khazad-dum!
You can either kill them or just leave the level by
heading toward the northwest until you exit.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 11: Moria - Khazad-dum
----------------------------
Difficulty: Easy
Quick Hint: Go left
Starting Location: NE
Ending Location: NW
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide: Most of this level is pretty easy to go
through. Start by heading the only direction you can go
and move down the stairways. After going down two stairs,
go left onto a thin bridge. There you will have a cutscene
with Gandalf, who will want to cross the bridge:
Cutscene-
Aragorn: Gandalf! Where are you going?
Gandalf: This foe is beyond any of you! Run!
Aragorn: Gandalf...
Gandalf: Across the bridge! RUN!
Go left and another cutscene will happen, this one showing
Gandalf encountering the Balrog. The bridge will break and
you will be forced to continue left. Go through the gap in
the wall and then go up the stairs to the exit.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 12: East Mountains - Gate
-------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy
Quick Hint: Exit the map
Starting Location: Top of the screen
Ending Location:
Shrines: Middle (Forge)
Detailed Guide: Immediately upon entering this level there
will be a cutscene mourning Gandalf's death:
Cutscene-
Aragorn: There is no time for grieving now. Let's go... On
your feet Sam.
Boromir: Have you no heart? Give them some time, for pity's
sake!
Aragorn: These hills will be swarming with Orcs in mere
hours. We must reach Lorien before nightfall.
Head down until you have to turn left. (Go around the tree
to the right, not the left) If you go down and turn left at
the right time, you should see a shrine (Forge). After the
shrine go down, turn right, and then go down again. Turn
right and continue right until the end. This is a very
straightforward level.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 13: East Mountains - Rolling Hills
----------------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy
Quick Hint: Go around... way around
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
Head southeast from the starting point until you see a
wall. Go to the right, walking along the wall until it
terminates at the end of a little raised ridge. Head down
from that end of the wall until you reach another wall.
Go left along the wall until you can go down and turn to
the right along the same wall. Continue going right until
the end. This level does have a white pool and a chest,
but they aren't essential to your quest or for beating
the level.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 14: East Mountains - Dimril Dale
--------------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium - Lengthy
Quick Hint: Go East Young Man
Starting Location: SW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: NE corner (Forge)
Detailed Guide: Walk up from the beginning of the level.
You will pass a tree sitting a large pool of water with a
butterfly circling the tree. Go down along the wall to the
right of this tree until you can go around it and start
going up. You can follow this wall to reach a shrine that
is located in the NE corner of this level, but that takes
a long time. If you decide to go the shrine, you can
easily reach the exit just by heading straight down. If
you don't want to reach the shrine, you still have to go
a long way to finish the level. From the wall near the
tree (outside the right wall), you have to go up until
you reach a wall. From there you have to turn left and
follow that wall. When the wall terminates you have to
continue going up. Weave through the rubble until you
reach even another wall. Go right, following the rubble
until it stops. From there you can go straight down to
recieve a quest (see below) or you can go SE and down
until you reach the exit in the SE corner.
Special Note: In the middle of the level an elf will be
standing on a ridge. If you go to him, he will tell you
that a great orc brute has waylaid some travellers and
stolen their wares, including a strange map (artifact).
He tells you that you can keep the treasure if you find
them. After this short dialouge, two orcs guarding a
chest will spawn in the level. If you haven't yet found
Bilbo's Map, then one of the Orcs will drop the artifact.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 15: East Mountains - West Woods
-------------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Go SE
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide: Immediately upon entering the level begin
going down until you reach the lower boundary of the whole
level. From the bottom turn to the right. Go up when you
have to. You should now be in an area with a blue pool. Go
to the NW corner of this area and go up through the gap.
You'll want to turn to the right immediately unless you
want to reach a white pool that is directly to the north.
As you pass through a grassy passage between to ridges
spikes may pop out of the ground and damage you. If they
do, just keep moving southeast. Continue going southeast
until you reach an elf at the edge of a forest. A red pool
is a little ways above this area, and you can go to that
before you finish the level by talking to the elf. He at
first tells you to halt but he decides to let you in
because you tell him who you are:
Cutscene-
Elf: Halt stranger. You have come to the edge of our wood
uninvited.
Aragorn: Haldir of Lorien, I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn.
We must take shelter with the Lady of the Wood.
Haldir: Aragorn? It has been a long time since we last met.
If you wish to visit Lothlorien, walk softly and
with speed. Come!
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 16: Lothlorien - Lothlorien
---------------------------------
Difficulty: Extremely Easy
Quick Hint: Cross the bridge
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: NW corner (Ent Pool)
Detailed Guide: This level is extremely easy. There aren't
any enemies in this level and only a few breakable sacks.
A shrine is directly north of the starting point of the
level. To the right of the starting point Gimli, Legolas,
and the Lady of the Woods will be standing around. Cross
the silver bridge near them. You will encounter Boromir,
who discusses using the ring for good before the level
ends:
Cutscene-
Boromir: The Ring occupies my thoughts, Aragorn. Why not
use it against Sauron himself? My city's fate may
depend on it.
Aragorn: None can wield the Ring without being overtaken
by it. But do not worry Boromir - we will not
allow the White City to fall.
Boromir: Your optimism is comforting. But is it wise?
----------------------------------------------------------
*Screenshot from the movie*
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 17: Amon Hen - Nen Hithoel
--------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Go left first, and cross the bridge
Starting Location: Top
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide: This level starts off with a quick
dialouge between Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn, who wonder
where Frodo and Boromir went:
Cutscene-
Aragorn: We will rest here for the day. Mordor is nearer
than ever, and orcs patrol the shores.
Legolas: Aragorn, where is Frodo?
Gimli: And Boromir?
Aragorn: Spread out... we must find them.
If you go straight down you will reach a red pool that
will restore your health. Be careful not to let birds
leave the area to raise your corruption. Go left from the
starting point until you are on the raised side of a stone
wall. Follow that wall down until you reach a very thin
bridge across a very small river. Cross the bridge. Go
southeast, through a gap through two stone walls, and
continue until you reach the SE corner of the level. The
exit is a little patch of green grass in the very corner.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 18: Amon Hen - Parth Galen North
--------------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy to Medium
Quick Hint: Follow the first wall
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide: The easiest way to beat this level is to
just follow the wall at the top of the screen all the
way to the SE corner of the screen. You will have to wrap
around it and sometimes it will change to rubble but this
stragety will get you through this level very quickly and
easily (though it is a little time consuming). You will
know when you are near the exit because you will see a
statue of a human right near the exit.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 19: Amon Hen - Slopes
---------------------------
Difficulty: Easy to Medium
Quick Hint: Find Frodo and then backtrack
Starting Location: W side
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: SE corner (Shrine)
Detailed Guide: This level can be pretty straightfoward
for most people. You start off on the West side of the
level and you need to make it to the right side. To do
this, go right until you reach a large wall of rubble.
When you reach this wall of rubble start going down until
you see a gap in the wall. Go right into the gap and go
right until you reach the right edge of the level. If you
go down from here you will reach a shrine, one that sells
skill points, one of the best values in the game. To
actually beat the level you need to go up until you reach
a raised area with stairs leading up to it. Go up the
stairs and talk to Frodo:
Cutscene-
Aragorn: Frodo?!
Frodo: The Ring has taken Boromir. Stay away!
Aragorn: Frodo, I swore to protect you.
Frodo: Can you protect me from yourself? I must go alone.
Aragorn: I would have gone with you to the end... go,
Frodo! Go now!
Frodo will run away. After he does this, you goal is to
just go back the way you came. Go down the stairs and go
to the left until you reach that giant wall of rubble.
Follow the rubble down until you reach a gap. Go left
through that gap. Go NW until you reach the point at
which you entered the level and exit there.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 20: Amon Hen - Parth Galen North (Round 2)
------------------------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy to Medium
Quick Hint: Backtrack; Follow the wall
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide: You can use the same trick used when first
going through the level when you backtrack through it.
Walk along the wall that you encounter first when entering
this level, wrapping around it and following along it no
matter what it changes to (water, rubble...). Eventually
you will begin going upwards and then turn left. This wall
will take you directly to the end of this level.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 21: Amon Hen - Nen Hithoel (Round 2)
------------------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium to Hard - Boss Level
Quick Hint: Backtrack; Cross the bridge at least
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: West edge
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide: This level is a boss level, where you will
fight the Uruk-Hai captain Lurtz, as in the movie. To beat
this level, start going diagonally up (northwest) from the
beginning of the level. You will pass through a gap between
two walls and eventually reach a bridge. You can pause
before crossing the bridge to recouperate and restore some
lost health and/or spirit points before fighting the boss.
After crossing the bridge, there will be a very short scan
of the area and you will be propelled into battle with
Lurtz! (Look into the Bosses section for help on defeating
him.) After defeating him, you will need to find the dying
Boromir on the West edge of the level. If you need help in
finding his exact location pause for a moment and wait for
the direction arrow to appear. When you find him, Gimli
will run up and you and Boromir will talk. Boromir dies
and you reveal to Legolas and Gimli that you let Frodo go
and that you want to 'Hunt some Orc' in Rohan:
Cutscene-
Aragorn: Boromir, be still...
Boromir: Aragorn, forgive me! I tried to take the Ring
from Frodo!
Aragorn: Rest Boromir.
Boromir: I have failed my people!
Aragorn: No, Boromir, you fought bravely.
Boromir: Farewell... my King.
Aragorn: Farewell, brave Boromir.
Gimli: The Fellowship is broken! We have failed!
Legolas: No Gimli... We can still catch Frodo if--
Aragorn: --No, Legolas. Frodo has chosen his own path. He
goes to Mordor alone.
Gimli: What is our next move then?
Aragorn: We have business further West, Gimli... Let's
hunt some Orc.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 22: Rohan - Eastemnet North
---------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Cross the bridge
Starting Location: East edge
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
There is a quick dialogue:
Cutscene-
Aragorn: The vast plains of Rohan!
Legolas: Not enough tress to make a decent home.
Gimli: Nor enough rock to build anything sturdy. Hmph!
Aragorn: But plently of sun to help us find Orc prints.
Let's go genltemen - we don't want them to reach
Isengard.
Congratulations, you are now in the land
of Rohan, hunting orcs... Go down from the beginning of
the level. You should pass Gimli, who may or may not be
fighting a creature as you pass (you probably will just
kill the creature for Gimli). Go down until you reach the
end of the level. Go left. You will reach a blue pool
right near a river. Use the blue pool if you need it,
either way, follow the river upwards until you see a
bridge across. You can either cross the bridge or go
northeast to use a red pool that is located in that
direction. Eventually you will have to cross the bridge,
so do that. After crossing the bridge start heading in
the general direction southwest until you see a gap in
between two giant rocks that opens upwards. Go up into
that gap. You will pass a chest on your way upwards. To
exit the level go to the northwest corner.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 23: Rohan - Plains
------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Left, Right, Left...
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
When you first enter the level it is a good idea to go up
because there will be a small white pool in a small area.
Use the pool and start heading left. You should be passing
through a pretty small passage. Eventually you will be
able to go up. If you go straight up immediately upon
entering the level, you will hit a wall. Follow the wall
to the right, until you pass in between two large rocks
and are forced to go up. You have two options from here.
You can either go to the northwest to reach the end (which
is in the northwest corner), or you can go around by going
as far up as possible and then turning left. Why would you
want to go around, which will take longer? The shorter
path takes you pass several Crebain, which will increase
your corruption and make the enemies more difficult to
kill. In the end, it is your choice.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 24: Rohan - East Wall
---------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Explore around
Starting Location: SW corner
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: NE corner (Forge)
Detailed Guide:
Upon entering the level, go up until you reach a wall.
Turn right and follow the wall until it terminates. Where
it terminates there will be a substantial amount of rocks
and rubble. Go northeast until you reach your allies Gimli
and Legolas. When you approach them they will just run
away. Follow them upwards. If you get close enough you
will have a dialouge scene.
Cutscene-
Legolas: Aragorn, look here!
Aragorn: A slaughter... Mordor orcs versus Saurman's breed.
Legolas: These tracks head north, deeper into Fangorn
Forest.
Gimli: Fangorn! More devilish Elven woods.
Legolas: The forest is very old, indeed. Old and angry.
Aragorn: Stay alert, stay close.
Your allies will leave but you may see them helping fight
against the orcs later in the level. After the cutscene go
northwest until you reach a diagonal wall of rubble. Walk
left along the rubble until you can go up. Go up and turn
right when you hit a wall. If you go up and left, you
will reach the end of the level. If you go up and right,
you will reach a shrine. Once you go (or decide not to go)
to the shrine, leave the level in the northwest corner.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 25: Fangorn - Copse
--------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Cross the river at least twice
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NE corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
Right when you enter this level you will see a cutscene.
Cutscene-
Orc: Filthy Mordor Orcs
Orc 2: This is Fangorn! Saruman warned us to stay away. A
vile place this is.
Orc 3: The forest ate 'em! Crushed their bones!
Orc: Then we go no further. Let the Mordor scum perish!
After this brief cutscene you will find yourself on a
gravel path leading to the northwest. Follow this path up
until you reach where the cutscene took place. After
disposing of those orcs, go left until you reach a little
river. If you want to get a chest and a white pool, then
walk down along the river until you see a little pebble
path. Cross the river. Go left and open the chest you will
eventually reach. Immediately above it there will be a
white pool. Use it if you want and then leave that area
by crossing the river back to the other side. Walk up
along the river until you reach even another path across
the river. Cross it and go left. If you go the right way,
you will reach another white pool. Use it then go up. You
will eventually reach another bridge across the river.
Cross the river again. Walk along the paved gravel path
until it terminates. Go up from that point until the end.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 26: Fangorn - Watery Glades
----------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Cross the river
Starting Location: SW corner
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
At the beginning of this level you will be on a dirt path.
Walk on it until you reach a path across the river. Cross.
You will encounter a troll here, and it may be difficult.
Use the red pool you immediately reach if you need it. If
you follow the riverbank you will reach two chests. From
there you can go up a ways and then turn left to head
towards the end of the level. From the edge you hit by
going left, go up until you reach the end.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 27: Fangorn - Step
-------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Directional arrow
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines:
Detailed Guide:
Go northwest from the beginning of the level, but be very
careful, there will be a whole flock of Crebain waiting
for you, and letting just a few away can greatly increase
the difficulty of beating this level. Go northwest until
you reach a dirt path. Go up along the path until it ends.
Turn right and go that direction until you reach a dirt
area. Go up from there. Turn left when you can and go that
direction until you reach a paved path. Follow that path
to the end of the level.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 28: Fangorn - Derndingle
-------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Get around the barricade
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: N side
Shrines: W side edge (Forge)
Detailed Guide:
Go up from the beginning. You may see Legolas fighting by
your side, but he doesn't help that much. You will want
to start following along the riverbank, but don't go to
far because you will just reach a block. To get around
this block, before the riverbank begins turning left, go
up into the little passage that you can enter. Make your
way through this little passage. Follow it until you are
on the other side of the barrier. Go down as much as you
can (you should be able to reach the bottom of the level).
Turn left until you reach another river and a chest. Open
the chest and start going up. You will reach a Forge. Use
it if you want to (you probably will with so many previous
levels not even having a shrine). Continue going up, in
between two walls and along various pathes until you reach
the end of the level at the top of the level.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 29: Fangorn - Fangorn Troll
----------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium - Boss Level
Quick Hint: Defeat Fangorn Troll (Look to Bosses section)
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NE corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide: You have to beat the Fangorn troll in
this level. If you need help on defeating him, look to
the Bosses section in this guide. Some people may want
to repeat this level many times to gain better items
and to gain more experience. Many sacks and barrels
are scattered in this level, and hitting them may provide
food for your battle again the two trolls. There is also
a red pool in the NE corner. After defeating the boss,
exit this level at the top.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 30: Fangorn - Rise
------------------------
Difficulty: Very Easy
Quick Hint: Press A and go left
Starting Location: Middle
Ending Location: W side
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
This is probably the easiest level in the whole game. It
is practically composed of just a cutscene. Upon entering
the level you will be put into it.
Cutscene-
(You see a wizard in front of you and your allies)
Legolas: The White Wizard!
Aragorn: Show yourself, Saruman!
Wizard: Saruman? The name curdles my blood.
Aragorn: Gandalf! Impossible... you fell-
Gandalf: Ah yes. Gandalf is my name. Yes, I remember.
Legolas: You old wizard - it is good to see you again. We
took you for the enemy.
Gandalf: Saruman, yes... unfortunately for him, Middle-
Earth no longer requires his counself. Let us go
quickly, for his influence is spreading. To
Theoden's hall in Edoras!
Aragorn: The men of Rohan are unfriendly these days.
Gandalf: They have good reason to be wary of strangers.
Saurman's influence is too close for comfort.
Come, let us leave these woods and pay Theoden a
little visit.
After the cutscene, you can explore a little, but you'll
find little but a pool of red liquid and some crates. An
artifact is hidden in this level (Look to "Artifacts List"
for additional information). Go left to exit the level.
Phew, that was hard wasn't it. ;)
