# Frodo Walkthrough #
#####################
Explanation
-----------
Here is a walkthrough for the character Frodo. First it
says the level name, area name, and level number. I made
up some difficulty ratings (Very Easy to Very Hard). The
Quick Hint is for people who don't want to be babysitted
through the level. Starting Location and Ending Location
can help some confused players. Shrines will show where
shrines are (if there are any). The Detailed Guide is
only meant to get a person through the level, not collect
every single item.
The Walkthrough
---------------
Here is the actual walkthrough:
----------------------------------------------------------
Opening Scene-
Frodo: Sam... you're still awake? You should get some
rest.
Sam: I was thinking about Mordor, Mister Frodo... It's the
one place in Middle-earth I don't want to see, and
it's the one place we're trying to get to...
Frodo: And with each step closer, the Ring gets heavier.
Sam: Can you manage?
Frodo: I'm fine for now...
Sam: When we left Master Elrond, back in Rivendell, was
the ring so much a burden?
Frodo: Not like now. Back then, I had hope still - enough
hope for the whole of the Shire...
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 1: Caradhras - Foothills
------------------------------
Difficulty: Very Easy
Quick Hint: Follow the paths to the end
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
Continuation of opening scene:
Cutscene-
Frodo: Do you remember the mountains? The peak of
Caradhras... it seemed then to be the most
terrifying obstacle in the world.
This level starts off with your character in the upper
left hand corner. Start heading downward, killing the two
enemies you see and opening any sacks that you want too.
You will soon notice the Crebain, and you will want to
kill them to prevent getting corrupted. Continue following
the gravel path. It will continue taking you down, then
it will turn right. Eventually it will turn upwards Follow
the path up. It might look (because it might be snowing)
like it splits in two directions, and you want to go onto
the left path. It will go up until you see a sack. Turn
right, which will take you to a raised area. Continue
following the path, even when it switches to a different
type of path (which looks blue and paved). You can follow
this path all the way to the end. There will be a chest
along the side of the path and a red pool.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 2: Caradhras - Mountains
------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy
Quick Hint: When rocks fall another path opens
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SW corner
Shrines: Near Exit (Shrine)
Detailed Guide:
Start following the blue paved path. Kill all enemies you
see and continue following the path until you reach a
blocked wall of rocks. Try to remember where this spot is.
Start going straight up until you can't anymore. Turn to
the right and continue going right until you see rocks
dropping. Don't step into the rocks because you will get
hurt:
Cutscene-
Frodo: The path is blocked. I must find another way.
Turn and go back to the previously blocked area and it will
be cleared. Once again start following the path. If you
kept following the path you will pass in between two
raised areas and then you'll turn left where rocks will
begin falling again. Backtrack until you are able to go
left onto one of the raised areas. There is no path but
you only have to go as far to the left as you can. Go
down. A path should go left, which is the exit.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 3: Caradhras - Valley
---------------------------
Difficulty: Very Easy
Quick Hint: When rocks fall another path opens
Starting Location: NE corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: SE corner (Forge)
Detailed Guide:
Follow the path down and to the left until you see rocks
falling down. Backtrack a little and go down (you have to
weave through a few rocks), and go left until you reach
a new path of two groves in the ground in mud. Follow the
path down and to the right. Soon you will encounter a
hero creature which is a strikingly different color than
the others of it's type (it will be blue). It may be a
little hard to defeat it but most people should do it
with ease. After defeating him and his two aides, you
can exit by continuing traveling to the right.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 4: Caradhras - Moria Gate
-------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy
Quick Hint: Follow the paths to the end
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NE corner
Shrines: NW corner (Ent Pool)
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.
Go down there and defeat the Orcs and start travelling
Northeast. Don't step in the fire because it deals
damage to your character. Continue going to the right and
you will need to meet Gandalf:
Cutscene-
Gandalf: Ah! 'Ithildin'! This door mirrors only starlight
and moonlight.
Frodo: It is beautiful.
Gandalf: The inscription reads, "The Doors of the Durin,
Lord of Moria, Speak Friend and Enter"
Frodo: What does that mean?
Gandalf: It means if you are a friend, simply speak the
password and the doors will open.
Frodo: Do you know the password?
(Screen scrolls to large creature in water)
Frodo: Get back to the mines, Sam!

the Mines, I might have thought twice about leading
the Fellowship under the mountain...
Aragorn: Moria... Kingdom of the Dwarves. I'll scout ahead.
Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli run to the left. You want to
go right to meet with Gandalf:
Cutscene-
Frodo: Gandalf, what is this place?
Gandalf: Moria was one of the greatest kingdoms of the
Dwarves. But we must move quickly. Aragorn and
the others have scouted ahead to the Old Stairs.
Let us explore these chambers together. Be wary.
Go up the stairs to your right, go up a little, then turn
right. Rocks will begin falling and that will form a wall
of rocks behind you. Move on, run as far right as you can
then start going down until you pass through a gap. Go
southwest and exit this part of the level by going down
the stairs.
(Part 2)
The level continues at this point. If you were to quit
now, you would start back before you split up with your
group. Go down. When you reach a wall. Turn right. Start
going souteast with the passage. Keep going southeast
until you are forced to go right. Keep an eye of the
higher wall. Keep going right until you see a doorway

the room and turn right until you reach the eastern edge
of the level. Start going down, and keep going down until
you pass through a doorway. Go left from here. You will
pass through a room with a giant dwarven statue. Continue
going left. In the next room, you will encounter another
tough blue hero creature. After killing it, go left until

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.

------------------------
Difficulty: Very Easy
Quick Hint: Leave

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

----------------------------------------------------------
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-
Frodo: Gandalf! Aragorn, what is he doing?

Go 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: Have you the strength to walk? We're going now.
Frodo: Despite the heaviness in my heart, I think I can.
Aragorn: He was a dear old friend... I am sorry Frodo.
Frodo: ...
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: None
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 SE and down
until you reach the exit in the SE corner.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 15: East Mountains - West Woods
-------------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Go SE
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide: Be careful at the beginning of this level,
many crows are here. Upon entering the level start/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, who is
standing beside Aragorn!:
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!

---------------------------------
Difficulty: Extremely Easy
Quick Hint: Press A and read
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: NW corner (Ent Pool)
Detailed Guide:
This level is extremely easy. It starts with Legolas
talking with Frodo:
Cutscene-
Legolas: Listen! The elves are singing a Lament for
Gandalf.
Frodo: What are they saying?
Legolas: It I cannot say, for the grief is still too near
to my heart... I must get some sleep.
Walk straight up until you reach the shrine (Ent Pool).
Use it. Go up and to the right of the shrine and cross
over the water with the bridge (the bridge looks like
circles laid on top of each other). Here, you will meet
Galadriel, the Lady of the Woods:
Cutscene-
Galadriel: The quest stands upon the edge of a knife.
Stray but a little and it will fail.
Frodo: I am frightened, Lady Galadriel.
Galadriel: Do not let this trouble you now. Tonight you
will sleep in peace... Welcome Frodo Baggins.
Frodo: Thank you, Lady of the Wood.

Level 17: Amon Hen - Slopes
---------------------------
Difficulty: Easy to Medium
Quick Hint:
Starting Location: W side
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: SE corner (Shrine)
Detailed Guide:
This level starts with Frodo thinking about his current
situation:
Cutscene-
Frodo: We floated in silence down the River Anduin until
we reached the shores of the ancient watchtower,
Amon Hen. The burden of the ring was on my mind at
all times... I was restless and I needed a place to
think.
Walk to the right along the wall of stones until you reach
a large wall of random rocks. Go down along the wall of
rocks until you see a gap to the right. Don't hit the
sack nearest to the gap because it releases three Crebain.
When you reach the gap, go to the right and start going up
along the side of the wall. Not counting the tree right by
the gap, turn to the right at the first tree. You should
see Boromir, waiting for you:
Cutscene-
Boromir: Frodo, none should wander here alone - you least
of all.
Frodo: What do you want, Boromir?
Boromir: Want?... Only to.. unburden you of your troubles.
Frodo, you suffer. I see it day by day.
Frodo: I must endure this alone. There is no other way.
(Frodo runs up the steps)
Boromir: Why do you recoil? I'm no thief! I ask only for
the strength to defend my people!
Frodo: Boromir, stay back!
Boromir: You'll lead the enemy to us - the ring should be
mine! Give it to me!
(Aragorn runs up)
Use the shrine you should be standing beside (it increases
experience!), then go to Aragorn:
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!
Go down the stairs you came up. Go left until you hit that
large wall of rocks. Go down along the side of the rocks
until you reach that gap. Go through the gap and run up
the left side of it until you reach the stone wall. Go
southwest from here, and just run along the western edge
of the level until you hit the exit.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 18: Amon Hen - Parth Galen South
--------------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy to Medium
Quick Hint: Follow the first wall
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
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. This is
a long way to go but it is definately the easiest to
remember! Remember, keep running along side it, whatever
it changes to.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 19: Amon Hen - Nen Hithoel
--------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Cross the bridge at least
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: West edge
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
This is a boss level for Legolas and Aragorn. Unfortunately
for you, this isn't a boss level for Frodo. Darn. 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. Cross the bridge.
Go up after crossing the bridge, and keep going up until
you reach the very top of the level. Turn right and run
that direction until you reach the boats:
Cutscene-
Frodo: The Ring's influence is too much for men to bear...
I must go to Mordor alone.
(Sam runs up)
Sam: Mister Frodo! Wait!
Frodo: Stay back, Sam! I'm going to Mordor alone!
Sam: Of course you are... and I'm coming with you.
Frodo: Oh Sam, you stubborn fool... In truth, I'm glad
you're with me. Let's hurry!
----------------------------------------------------------

Level 20: Emyn Muil - East Path
-------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Go through the gaps
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SW corner
Shrines: NW corner (Forge)
Detailed Guide:
Run toward Sam:
Cutscene-
San: We're three jumps from the old river, Frodo, and
right in the middle of a wasteland.
Frodo: This is Emyn Muil, Sam. Sheer cliffs and razor
sharp rocks. It doesn't get any easier from here.
Sam: Are you sure there isn't an easier way 'round?
Frodo: Over the waterfall you mean?
Sam: I guess not... Lead the way, Mister Frodo.
Sam will run away. Ignore him, go as far right as you can.
Go down now, until you reach a really thin gap. Go through
that really thin gap and go left. Continue going left
until you have to make a choice between going up or down.
Go up with if you want to use a shrine (Forge), but
beware, there are several Crebain above also. To beat the
level, go down from here. You will pass through a short
diagonal passage. Go down from here until you reach a
wall. Turn right and follow along the wall. Keep following
and running along this wall/edge even when it ends. Do
this until you reach a tower with Crebain resting on it.
Go down just a little, then go left to the end of the
level.
