Lord Of The Rings, The: The Two Towers - Strategy Guide (Page 06)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Lord Of The Rings, The: The Two Towers - Strategy Guide (Page 06).
Detailed Guide:
Start travelling up immediately. Follow the dirt, which
acts like a path. Turn left when the path splits. Follow
it until you see a river with a stone pebble path across
it. Cross the bridge and go up. There will be a chest,
a red pool, and a shrine. Do what you want then start
going right. There should soon be a cut scene with a
circle of Orcs:
Cutscene-
Orc: I'm hungry. Do we 'ave any Dwarf meat left?
Orc 2: I thinks there is some inside. Get some bits for
me.
Defeat (or not defeat) the Orcs and start travelling
Northeast. Don't step in the fire because it deals
damage to your character. You will see Gimli with a horse
and you will see another short cutscene:
Cutscene-
Gimli: Here it is, the west wall of Moria!
Legolas: I see no reason to celebrate. It is a dank and
dismal place. Quite the opposite of a forest.
Gimli: Only on the outside! Soon, master Elf, you will
enjoy the fabled hospitality of the dwarves.
Legolas: We shall see...
After this brief dialogue, you have to continue going
to the right wher you will meet Gandalf and Frodo:
Cutscene-
Legolas: Gimli, the water! Stand fast!

Shrines: NW corner (Ent Pool)
Detailed Guide:
This level starts with a cutscene:
Cutscene-
Aragorn: Moria... Kingdom of the Dwarves. I'll scout
ahead.
(Aragorn leaves)
Frodo: What's this? A trap door down?
Gandalf: The dwarves do not build homes, they build
labyrinths. Legolas, explore the lower tunnels to
see if any orcs lurk.
Go down the trapdoor. After going down, go down two sets
of stairs. At the bottom of the second set, go right until
you reach the eastern edge of the level. Go straight down
and go through the open door at the bottom of this area.
The room you are in now has a chest, a red pool, and a
button in the lower section. You must press the button.
After pressing down the button, return to the bottom of
the second staircase in this level. Go down into the room
and go through two open doors located at the bottom of
the room. Exit the level by going down the stairs in this

Go southeast and down through the open door. You will meet
with Gandalf:
Cutscene-
Legolas: It is as we feared. Orcs infest this place. Where
is Gimli?
Gandalf: He has run off in search of Balin. If you value
his life, find him, elf.
Go up and exit the level in the northwest corner of the
level. You will appear in front of a door. Go left until
you reach a wall. Go down and go through the open door
below you. Go down to the bottom of the room and go to the
right until you see a button. Step on it and go back to
the left until you see a newly open door on the bottom
wall. Go through that door. Go to the left. You will
encounter many holes in the ground. Find a way through
the mess and make your way to the southwest corner of the
area. There, you should find a button to step on. Step on
the button and go up until you reach some stairs. If you
go up the stairs, you will reach a Shrine. If you don't

Starting Location: NW
Ending Location: Down a trap door, NE corner
Shrines: NE corner (Forge)
Detailed Guide:
This is a tricky level for some people. Here is little

----------------------------------------------------------
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.
A cutscene will happen and then the Cave Troll will come
storming in from the top with several enemies:
Cutscene-
Gimli: No! It is as I have feared... Balin has fallen!
Legolas: I am sorry Gimli... I misjudged your people's
perseverance...
Gimli: They fought to the finish, no doubt.
Legolas: Defending their home.
Gimli: Poor Balin.
---
Legolas: Stand fast Gimli, else we suffer Balin's fate!
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. 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. At the end
of the level Aragorn will be standing, waiting for you.
Once you reach him, there will be a cutscene:
Cutscene-
Legolas: Aragorn, where is Gandalf? We cannot leave him
behind!
Aragorn: He sent me away. I implored him to follow, but-
Legolas: Aragorn, Gandalf's wisdom is beyond measure... If
he says run, we do not ask questions.
Aragorn: Just the answer I expected. Let us leave this place.
Exit the level.
----------------------------------------------------------
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 tears; we have far to go.
Legolas: To Lorien, Aragorn. Galadriel will welcome us if we
are cautious.
Gimli: That witch? Cautious of what?
Legolas: It would be unwise to lead a pack of Orcs into the
heart of Lorien, Gimli.
Gimli: From the tales I've heard, the Witch of the Woods is
likely to do more harm than Orcs.
Legolas: She is strong, indeed. Try not to lose favor with
her.
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.
(This isn't always true. If you find some ruins at the
beginning of the level, you won't find this elf.)
----------------------------------------------------------
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. Aragorn,
one of your allies, will be standing by the elf. The elf
first tells you to halt but he decides to let you in
because Aragorn tells him who he is:
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: Press A
Starting Location: none
Ending Location: none
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide: This level is extremely easy. Just sit
back and enjoy the cutscenes... or just press A:
Cutscene-
Legolas: It fills my heart with joy to see these woods
again.
Galadriel: Rest here Legolas. You are among kin.
Legolas: Good night, Lady.
---
Legolas: Goodbye lady Galadriel.
Galadriel: Legolas, Sauron will be seeking the Ring
without rest... if his gaze is not drawn away
he will find it.
Legolas: I will not let that happen.
Galadriel: Even if that means making unthinkable
sacrifices.
Legolas: If I must, lady.
Galadriel: Good luck, Legolas.

----------------------------------------------------------
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: Something draws near, I can feel it.
Gimli: Where is Frodo?
Legolas: And Boromir?
Aragorn: Spread out. Find them!
This level isn't very hard. 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. You will see two orcs:
Cutscene-
Orc: You cheat!
Orc 1: You gonna stop me?
Cross the bridge and obliterate those arguing orcs. 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: NW corner
Shrines: None
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 near the
stairs and talk to Aragorn.
Cutscene-
Legolas: Aragorn, any sign of Frodo?
Aragorn: He was here... Boromir tried to take the Ring.
Legolas: Boromir? Frodo... is he-
---
Legolas: Boromir's horn!
Aragorn: Back to the boats - quickly!
After the short cutscene finishes, your final 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
and Aragonr will run up to talk to you. Boromir dies and
Aragorn reveals to Legolas and Gimli that you let Frodo go
and that you want to 'Hunt some Orc' in Rohan:
Cutscene-
Aragorn: Boromir is dead... Sam and Frodo have departed.
Legolas: We can still catch Frodo if we-
Aragorn: No, Legolas...
Legolas: You mean not to follow them?
Aragorn: We have other business in the West. Saruman's
forces are growing.
Gimli: Then we should not delay! Saruman's Orcs are not
hard to track, but they are fast.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 22: Rohan - Eastemnet South
---------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Explore
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: SW corner
Shrines: Top Middle (Forge)
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 vast expansive land
of Rohan, hunting orcs... Go left from the start of the
level until you reach a wall. Go up along the wall.
Continue going up when the wall ends and changes into
large rocks. Turn left when you can, and continue in that
direction until you reach a river. Walk down along the
riverbank until you reach a bridge that crosses the
river. After crossing the river, walk up along the river-
bank. Do this until you reach the top edge of the level
and a shrine (Forge). Walk along the uppermost wall in a
western direction. Keep going until you reach a cave that
releases wolves. Go down. If done right, you will find
yourself in a very thin passage. Go through this passage
until you reach the end of the level!
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 23: Rohan - Plains
------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Left, Right, Left...
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
Upon entering the level, go left, walking along the top
wall. Do this until you can go up, which will be when
there is a little passage between two rocks. Go right, and
continue in that direction until you reach a blue pool.
Use the blue pool and then go left, walking along the wall
above the blue pool. Eventually it will terminate, and
there will be a path leading upwards, made of dirt. Follow
the path until it becomes very fat and undefined. Go up
a little and turn to the right and go through the small
passage formed by the rocks. Do this until you can start
going up. Going up will take you directly to the end of
the level.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 24: Rohan - East Wall
---------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Explore around
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NE corner
Shrines: NW corner (Forge)
Detailed Guide:
Upon entering the level, go up until you reach a wall.
Turn left and follow the wall until it terminates. Where
it terminates there will be a few extraneous rocks and
rubble. Go northeast until you reach your allies Gimli
and Aragorn. 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 if you want to reach a shrine. If you want to
make it to the Forge, you have to make your way to the
very northwest corner of the level. To beat the level,
from where you met your allies, go up until you reach a
wall. Go right along the wall until you see a gap leading
upwards. Go up and turn left until you reach the end of
the level.
----------------------------------------------------------
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:
You start the level in view of a river. Go to the river
and walk up along the riverbank until you reach a bridge
across it. When you start to cross it, you will see some
Orcs talking:
Cutscene-
Orc: My blade can cut through a tree in one blow.
Orc 1: How about an elf, boss?
Finish crossing the bridge and begin walking down along
the riverbank. until you see a path leading west. Walk
along the path. It should eventually reach an intersection
of four paths. Take the far left one. It will terminate
very soon, but ignore that and continue going upwards.
Turn right when you see a tree near a pit in the ground.
Keep going right until you reach another path. Begin
following it; it will take you to the end of the level.
It will take you across a bridge. If you ever think the
path splits, take the upper route.
