Lord Of The Rings, The: The Two Towers - Strategy Guide (Page 11)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Lord Of The Rings, The: The Two Towers - Strategy Guide (Page 11).

Detailed Guide:
Upon entering the level, start going down until you can
turn left. Keep going left until you reach the West edge
of the level. Go down until you hit a wall or see a dirt
path. If you go down to the wall, walk to the right along
the wall. If you notice the path, start walking on it.
Either way, pause when you reach a gap. Go throught the
gap and go left until you reach the west edge of the level
again. Go down. When you are stopped by rocks, walk to the
left until you can go down through them. Turn left if you
want to use the shrine, otherwise, just walk right to
reach the end of the level.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 26: Rohan - Plains (Version 2)
-----------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Exit the level
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None

Detailed Guide:
Walk down along the western edge of the level. When you
reach a long wall, start walking to the right along the
wall. There will be a rock or two obstructing your path,
but keep your eye on the wall until you see a gap which
can be identified because it is between two large rocks.
Walk in between the rocks and turn left. Keep going left
until you reach the western edge of the level. There, turn
and start going downwards until you encounter another long
wall. Start walking to the right along the wall. Walk
fairly close to the wall, because if you walk close
enough, you can avoid alerting some the Crebain on your
path. Keep going right until you reach the end of the
level!

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 27: Rohan - Eastemnet South
---------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Find the Rohan soldiers
Starting Location: SW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: Top (Forge)

Detailed Guide:
Obviously, the only path you can take at the beginning of
this level is up. Be VERY careful though, because 5 crows
will be on this path, and you should tread carefully as
to not alert them before you can kill them with some well
aimed magic attack. Keep going up until you reach the
very top of the level. When you do, walk to the right
until you reach a river. Walk down along the riverbank
until you see a large bridge across the river. Cross the
river on the bridge. Start following the river up. If you
go all the way to the top of the screen, you will reach
a shrine. If you don't go to the shrine, turn to the right
from the river when you see some dirt to the right of you.
If you go to the shrine, you can come to this point by
going southeast from the shrine until you hit a wall. Go
down. You may start seeing Rohan soldiers helping you
fight. Make your way down to the Rohan leader:

Cutscene-
Rohan Solider: Halt White Wizard, you are not welcome
               here!
Gandalf: Eomer of Edoras, I am sent by your Uncle.
Eomer: My Uncle's orders have no sway here. He is
       corrupted!
Gandalf: No longer Eomer. Saruman's influence has been
         severed. Theoden is himself again!
Eomer: How do I know you speak the truth?
Gandalf: You will not until you see for yourself.
         Unfortunately, Saruman's approaching armies makes
         this an urgent matter. Your Uncle needs you at
         Helm's Deep.
Eomer: Helm's Deep!? What is happening?
Gandalf: Saruman is hoping to enslave all of Rohan. His
         armies are moving as we speak.
Eomer: Yes, we have seen the signs already... We will
       follow you.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 28: Helm's Deep - Hornsberg
---------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy
Quick Hint: Enter Hornsberg
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: None

Detailed Guide:
Welcome to Helm's Deep. Follow the darker paved path to
the northwest. You will eventually see a bridge and two
guards and enter a cutscene:

Cutscene-
Guard: The White Rider! You have returned.
Eomer: He is not alone.
Guard: Eomer! Quickly, Orcs have broken through the Gate!
Gandalf: Keep the Orcs out of the Keep. I will find the
         others.

Continue towards the building and go across the bridge,
and enter the door.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 29: Helm's Deep - Battlements
-----------------------------------
Difficulty: Hard - Very Hard
Quick Hint: Destroy ALL the ladders
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None

Detailed Guide:
Go down the stairs and go right until you see and talk to
a guard:

Cutscene-
Gandalf: Soldier, where is the ranger, Aragorn?
Guard: He's with the Elf and Dwarf, protecting the breech!
Gandalf: Then we must keep this enemy at bay ourselves!

Now comes the difficult part. You have to go back and
forth across this wall destroying ladders until you have
destroyed all of them. Some won't spawn until you have
destroyed another. The best stragety is to just go back
and forth down the wall killing all the enemies and
ladders you encounter. Watch out for explosions that hit
your character, as they can cause tremendous damage.
When you have knocken down all of the ladders, you will
enter another cutscene:

Cutscene-
Gandalf: The Orcs are falling back and regrouping! Hold
         this wall and wait for me to return.

Exit the level by going to the far right of the level and
going down the stairs.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 30: Helm's Deep - Breach
------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Defend the breach
Starting Location: Stairs
Ending Location: SW corner
Shrines: None

Detailed Guide:
You start this level on the same stairs you ended the last
one on. Go down the stairs, where you will immediately
encounter a red colored hero creature. Go down the stairs.
Look to the right. Enemies will begin coming in through
the breach. You want to kill them all, but it may be hard
because enemies will also come from other areas to attack
you. If you aren't close enough to the breach sometimes no
enemies will spawn. Don't try entering the breach, because
that only results in an explosion and a loss of health.
When the breach seems to have stopped producing enemies,
and you have killed everyone in the level, Gimli will
appear near the breach:

Cutscene-
Gandalf: Gimli! Where is Aragorn?
Gimli: Back in the glittering caves, Gandalf. Orcs broke
       through!
Gandalf: Hold fast, Gimli.

After this cutscene you can exit the level at the west
edge of the level.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 31: Helm's Deep - Gorge
-----------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Cross the river
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: Middle (Forge)

Detailed Guide:
Upon entering this level go left. You will pass some
stairs, and it is wise to go up them even though they
don't lead to the end of the level. Up the stairs is a
room full of enemies, allies, a shrine, chests, and
breakable containers. After you loot the room to your
satisfaction, go back down the stairs. If you go up you
enter a huge area with a white pool. It's better to go
left from the stairs and reach the river. If you go down,
you will see a path across the river. Cross the river. If
you want to immediately go to the next level just follow
the edge of the river all the way to the end. You can go
left from the river to reach the red pool that is in the
raised area.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 32: Helm's Deep - Valley
------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Go West young man
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: None

Detailed Guide:
Start going to the left. Eventually you will encounter 3
hero creatures at once. After defeating them cross the
river unless you are low in health. If you are low in
health continue going left (without crossing the river)
until you reach the red pool. Either way, you will have to
eventually cross the bridge. Kill the three crows you meet
on a little island in the middle of the river. Continue
crossing the river. Go left from there. The exit of the
level looks like a cave enterance.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 33: Helm's Deep - Glittering Caves
----------------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Explore around
Starting Location: NE corner
Ending Location: SW corner
Shrines: Middle

Detailed Guide:
You are now in the Glittering Caves. Go down and to the
right until you reach a bridge. You have to cross the
bridge. BEWARE, the bridge has several crows on the edges
of it. Go southwest from the end of the bridge until you
reach another. Cross that one also. You will now have 3
paths to choose from. SW, NE, and SE. To the southwest is
a white pool, so I would recommend going there first. The
NE path is just a dead end with no special features and
only normal enemies. Obviously you have to go to the
southeast to beat the level. Go that direction until you
see two walls structed like this:  ---  ---. There will
be a shrine (Forge) in front of the second wall. Use the
shrine if you want to, either way, go down until you pass
a wall. Go southwest from that point on, until you reach
a wall. Go west from here, and you will eventually meet
with Legolas:

Cutscene-
Legolas: Gandalf, you have returned!
Gandalf: And with no time to spare... Follow me!

Go down from Legolas until you reach the bottom of the
level. Go left until you reach Aragorn and Eowyn:

Cutscene-
Gandalf: Aragorn, the enemy has been driven back moment-
         arily. Now is our chance for a final assault.
Legolas: Gimli has already tossed himself into battle
         against the siege weapons. Hurry!
Aragorn: Tend to your people, Eowyn. We will return.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 34: Helm's Deep - Hornberg (Round 2)
------------------------------------------
Difficulty: Hard
Quick Hint: Destroy EVERY seige machine
Starting Location: N edge
Ending Location:
Shrines: None

Detailed Guide:
This level can be hard or easy depending on how good you
are at defeating difficult hero creatures. There are many
seige machines scattered throughout this level and each
are guarded by two hero creatures. You have to defeat
them and destroy each seige machine. This is a great level
to find good weapons and to gain experience because of the
large number of hero creatures. If you are having trouble
finding all of the seige machines, comb the area very
carefully, as it's not very big but it is easy to miss
areas. There are a total of six seige machines. Once you
have broken all of the machines, go to the starting point,
where the king of Rohan, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli will
be standing:

Cutscene-
King: This battle has one more front yet!
Gandalf: Aragorn, fetch the others... we are headed to
         Isengard!
Aragorn: Aye, Gandalf... we are well on our way.
Gandalf: Be vigilant. Saruman's army may be diminished,
         but his cunning is not.
Gimli: Is there no time for a moment's rest in this world!
Aragorn: Not while Saruman lives, Gimli.

# Introduction #
################

Eowyn is the neice of the King of Rohan. She wields swords
like Aragorn but doesn't play much of a fighting role in
the second movie. Her character in this game is a mixture
of other characters, and all of her passive skills are
derivative. Many don't like playing as Eowyn but her quest
can be a fun experience.

##########
# Skills #
##########

Active Skills
-------------

1st Tree

Herbal Remedy (Level 1) - Heals 25 hit points +5/level.
Herbs are more effective. 8 spirit +2/level.
- Like the other characters healing spells, putting more
than one point into this skill provides very limited
returns. Don't put more than one point into this skill.

Defending Fury (Level 5) - Increases Eowyn's Defense by
10, +2/level. Lasts 5 seconds, +0.5 per level. 10 spirit.
Corrupt.
- Not a good skill to put several points into. If you
are going to use the Princess of Rohan ability in
combat than you have at least put one point into this
skill, but don't put more than one. The defense bonus
is really meager and the skill doesn't last long
enough to be really beneficial. Most of the time your
skill would run out before you left a combat situation.

Princess of Rohan (Level 8) - Stuns foes around Eowyn.
Stun time increases per level. 4 spirit/level.
- Great skill. Many people like to concentrate their Eowyn
around this skill (you can also use Double Strike). If
you raise this skill high, then you can stun enemies for
a very substantial amount of time. The cost is low, so
you won't have too much problem with spirit points if
you concentrate on this skill.

Call Eomer (Level 10) - Summon's Eomer's Rohan soldiers to
Eowyn's aid. 22 spirit.
2nd Tree
- Not that good of skill. The soldiers are pretty dumb
and don't really help that much. Plus the skill costs
a large amount of spirit points for what it does. I wouldn't
recommend putting any points into this skill. You may want
to put in one if you have never seen it before, but you'll
probably regret it.

Shield Bash (Level 2) - Bash enemies with her shield for
5 damage +1/level, plus stun. 8 spirit.
- Put just one point to unlock Double Strike. Many who start
playing Eowyn find out that they can do more damage with
a 2 handed weapon than with a shield and sword. The damage
of this skill is very low, and the stun doesn't even compare
to Princess of Rohan's stun capabilities. The cost is too
high for constant use. Don't put in a point unless you want
Double Strike.

Double Strike (Level 5) - Fast attack does +4 damage,
+1/level. 7 spirit.
- Nice skill to have for all Eowyn users. The attack is
fast and raising this skill will practically raise the
damage you can cause for only a few skill points. The cost
is a little high, so I would recommend putting several
stat points into Courage if you decide that you want to
use this skill a lot.

Passive Skills
--------------

1st Tree

Strength of Heart (Level 2) - Lessens corruption by
5%/level and +2 damage to Ringwraiths per level.
- This skill is the exact same as one of Aragorn's skills,
and it is a good skill to put several points into. If you
ant to fight Ringwraiths than you will want to put quite
a few points into this skill, but it is also useful
because it reduces your overall corruption. Be careful
though, if you raise this skill too high, you won't be
able to even attract Ringwraiths.

Iron Will (Level 10) - Eowyn regenerates health.
2nd Tree
- Good skill to put points into. The regeneration is a
useful thing to have and putting several points can make
your health rise at a fairly good rate. Having more
points in this skill lessens your need for her healing
spell which will save you spirit points and time.

2nd Tree

Stand Fast (Level 5) - Eowyn has 5% +1/level to parry
enemy blows, taking no damage.
- This is the same as Aragorn's Parry and should be treated
similarily. If you are going to use 2 handed weapons then
you have to put several points into this skill to make
up for your lack of a shield. Even if you don't use a
two-handed weapon then you should at least put one point
into this skill.

Eyes of Rohan (Level 5) - Each level makes it more likely
Eowyn will find better items.
- The same as Frodo's Rummage, this skill is a great skill
and at least one point should be put into it. The higher you
raise it, you will find more green and red items. I would
recommend putting several points in this skill, but it
shouldn't be your first priority.

Ferocity (Level 10) - Slain enemies restore spirit points
to Eowyn.
- This is a useful skill to have and you should put several
points into this skill. This skill is really useful in
conjunction with Princess of Rohan and Double Strike because
those can drain your spirit points fairly quickly. Put at
least one point into this ability.

# Tips and strategies #
#######################

Primary Statistics: Accuracy, Strength, Defense
Least Important: Health, Courage

There is really only one way to play Eowyn, as a fighter.
Her skills are a mixture of everyone elses skills. For
instance, she has Strength of Hearth (Aragorn), Stand Fast
(Aragorn), Eyes of Rohan (Frodo)... etc... One of the most
popular skills to use with Eowyn seems to be Princess of
Rohan, a fairly good stunning ability. You can also use
double strike as your primary attack or even no special
ability.

One special note with Eowyn is that she can use two
handed weapons. She can't dual wield like Aragorn, but
she can use weapons that say "2H" on them which usually
do more damage. If you decide to not use a shield and to
use 2 handed swords, you have to put more statistic points
into Defense and more skill points in to Parry to make
up for your lack of defense.

Princess of Rohan Eowyn
-----------------------
Those who concentrate a number of points in Princess of
Rohan will find that stunning your enemies then hitting
them is a good stragety indeed. If you use this style,
then you will want to stun your enemies before hitting
them (obviously), but you want to be careful not to kill
yourself in a foolish manner. You may want Double Strike
to do extra damage to stunned enemies, but switching
skills constantly can be a hassle.

Example: (30 skill points)

Active Skills:
Herbal Remedy (1)
Defending Fury (1)
Princess of Rohan (10)

Passive Skills:
Strength of Heart (1) ---- Raise this to fight Ringwraiths
Iron Will (5)
Stand Fast (5)
Eyes of Rohan (2) ------ Extra points are well spent here
Ferocity (5)

Double Strike Eowyn
-------------------
An Eowyn who uses Double Strike as their special attack
doesn't get the ability to stun enemies like one who
uses Princess of Rohan but can do more damage. Double
Strike can be pretty expensive so an Eowyn using this
ability either has to raise courage or use it
conservatively.

Example: (30 skill points)

Active Skills:
Herbal Remedy (1)
Shield Bash (1)
Double Strike (10)

Passive Skills:
Strength of Heart (1) -- Raise this to fight Ringwraiths
Iron Will (5)
Stand Fast (5)
Eyes of Rohan (2) ---- Extra points are well spent here
Ferocity (5)

# Eowyn Walkthrough #
#####################

Explanation
-----------
Here is a full walkthrough for Eowyn.

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 or kill every creature. Enjoy:

The Walkthrough
---------------

Opening Scene:

Cutscene-
Theoden: Eowyn... The enemy is approaching and we have
         little time to waste. Would you lead the refugees
         to the safety of the caves?
Eowyn: If it is your wish, Uncle, I will protect them with
       my life.
Theoden: None of my soldiers can mix strength with
         sympathy... and this is what my people need most
         right now. They have been through much.
Eowyn: Far too much, Uncle. If only I could have
       convinced Eomer and his soldiers to stay, we might
       have prevented some of this pain...
---
Eowyn: Eomer, where are you going?
Eomer: Eowyn... I had hoped to slip away without my sister
       catching me.
Eowyn: Well she has, dear brother. Speak up.
Eomer: Word has reached us that the king's son and all his
       men were ambushed in East Rohan. We are going to
       investigate.
Eowyn: Theodred is in danger? Hold for a moment Eomer, I
       am coming with you.
Eomer: Eowyn no. This is too-
Eowyn: Hush, brother. There is no time for debate.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 1 - Edoras - Main
-----------------------
Difficulty: Very Easy
Quick Hint: Exit out the SE corner
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None

Detailed Guide:
After the cutscenes simply go to the SE corner of the
screen to continue the game.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 2 - Rohan Plains - Edoras Plains
--------------------------------------
Difficulty: Very Easy
Quick Hint: Walk around
Starting Location: SW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None

Detailed Guide:

*NOTE* : Eowyn's quest is shorter, but it can be very
difficult because of the difficulty of enemies. Play
Eowyn catiously.

The level starts with a cutscene, in which Eomer asks
you to make a wide sweep across the plains. After enter-
ing the level, go directly to the right until you reach
a thin little stream going downwards. Follow it until
you can't. Go down from there. Keep going down until
you reach some rocks with trees. Walk along them to the
left. When the terminate, go down and turn right until
you reach the end of the level.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 3 - Rohan Plains - Rolling Fields
---------------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy
Quick Hint: Exit the level
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NE corner
Shrines: None

Detailed Guide:
Start this level by following the wall above you to the
right. You need to follow this until you reach a gap in
the wall. Go through that gap until it opens up into a
much larger area. After reaching the end of the gap, go
straight up until you reach a wall. Follow the wall to the
left until you reach the end of it. Go up and left until
you reach a body of water. Follow the riverbank to the
left and follow it even when it goes upwards and starts
turning to the right. After you start going to the right,
stop following the riverbank and just go right until you
reach the end of the level which is in the NE corner of
the level.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 4 - Rohan Plains - Grassy Fields
--------------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy
Quick Hint: SE corner
Starting Location: SW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: NW corner

Detailed Guide:
Upon entering the level go straight up until you reach a
wall. Go right and follow along the wall until you
finally reach a gap leading upwards. Go upwards if you
want to use a shrine. Otherwise, from the gap, go down
until you hit another wall. Follow the wall towards the
left until the wall finally terminates. Below the edge of
the wall. Turn right and go that direction until you reach
the end of the level.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 5 - Rohan Plains - Nomad Fields
-------------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Meet your friends
Starting Location: SW corner
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: None

Detailed Guide:
From the beginning of the level go to the right for a long
time. Eventually you will reach a wall and see a barrel in
the southeast corner of the level. Break the barrel if you
wish and start going upwards. You will pass a burnt out
house and several barrels and boxes before you reach another
wall. After reaching that wall, go left until you see your
brother with two troops beside him. Talk to him:

Cutscene-
Eowyn: Eomer! You found Theodred?
Eomer: I have. All his men are dead, but Theodred lives
       still, though barely[.]
Eowyn: How can I help?
Eomer: Travel west to the nearest village. Tell them to send
       help to meet us, for we cannot carry Theodred too
       quickly without risking his life.
Eowyn: I understand
Eomer: Good luck, sister.
(Eomer and his troops run away)

Go up from this point until you reach a very strange
looking tree that is extremely burnt out. To the northeast
of the tree there is a chest that you can open. Farther to
the northwest of the tree is a shrine (Shrine). From the
EXACT place of the tree, go west until you reach a gap
that you can enter. Go through that gap and go up and then
to the left to the exit.

----------------------------------------------------------

Level 6 - Rohan Plains - Village Outskirts
------------------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Go far left
Starting Location: NE corner
Ending Location: SW corner
Shrines: None

Detailed Guide:
Go up from the beginning until you reach the wall right
above you. Go left and follow that wall all the way down
to the west edge of the level. If you have gone far
enough, going down will take you through a small gap. Go
through the gap and continue down until you reach a wall.
Go right along the wall, and then go down again when you
can. When you hit another wall, go right. If you follow
the wall long enough, you will reach another gap. From
that gap go left until you again reach the west end of
the level. You may or may not see a woman that you must
talk too. If you don't see her, go down until you do.
Either way, you must talk to her:

Cutscene-
Eowyn: Hail! I need assistance!
Villager: What is it, Lady?
Eowyn: The king's son has been injured, east of her. Could
       you send a healer?
Villager: I believe we can, Lady. Please head west into
          our village.

Go left to the end of the level.


----------------------------------------------------------

Level 7 - Rohan Village - Village Residences
--------------------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy
Quick Hint: Exit the level
Starting Location: NE corner
Ending Location:
Shrines: None

Detailed Guide:
Follow the dirt path southwest. Watch out for tough bad-
guys and many Crebain. Eventually you will reach the
villager again:

Cutscene-
Eowyn: Your village's aid may save Theodred's life. Thank
       you.
Villager: I only pray our village can withstand these
          attacks. I hope your brother's journey back to
          Edoras is a safe one.
Eowyn: As do I... I am sure the King would also thank you
       for your kindness.
Villager: Pardon, Lady, but there are rumors that King
          Theoden is ill these days... is this so?
Eowyn: Not ill, no... Weary perhaps but-
(Troop runs up)
Troop: ORCS! ORCS are attacking the village!
Eowyn: More Orcs? This far west?
Troop: Big orcs! With White hand prints across their
       faces!
Eowyn: Gather everyone together! Hurry!
