VERSION HISTORY
=================
Version 0.80 (11th Jan) - Completed first three sections. Finished
whole walkthrough and FAQ. completed Secrets scetion, thanks to... and
legal section.
Version 0.90 (17th Jan) - Finished Palantir of Saruman. Updated cheats
section and thanks to... Added Monster Guide section, completed that.
Version 0.95 (22nd Jan) - Added yet another section explaining which
upgrades do what etc. That's completed as well.
Version 1.25 (25th Jan) - Added a couple of maps for gameplay advice,
corrected some grammer and spellings. Adjusted cheats section. Rewrote
some of the guide as it looked dodgy when it was on the net, hopefully
that solves the problem. Added some more to Minas Tirith - Top of Wall,
and finally added more to Bosses section, and Upgrades Section.
Version 1.30 (26th Jan) - Added final walkthrough section, Palantir of
Sauron. Made the Palantirs more readable, hope it helps. Finally, I
decided that I didn't like the character descriptions, so I did them
again. this should be my last BIG update, unless I re-write the
walkthrough again.
Version 1.35 (27th Jan) - I don't know why, but the guide has gone funny
again, so I changed a few things and it should be okay THIS TIME!
Version 1.40 (29th Jan) - I'm gonna give it one last chance to work,
otherwise I'll just give up on it. Added some more onto Minas Tirith
section.

1. About this guide
=====================
I got the game just about when it came out in Britian, so I suppose that
this guide is based on the British version. I really enjoyed the game,
and it inspired me to write an in-depth walkthrough about it. I can't
guarantee that it's spoiler-free though. It's been written in 'Normal'
mode, so it's really useful for beginners and veterans. There is very
little difference in the three difficulty levels, so you can use it for
Easy and Hard too. The Return of the King isn't that different from the
Two Towers, but it is far more superior.
It has amazing graphics, which are combined with Real Return of the King
footage, great gameplay value, and a new option, co-op, which lets you
play with two players. It's difficulty has soared through the roof, with
levels like the Black Gate and Shelob's Lair. You also have a whole cast
of new characters like Gandalf, Frodo, Sam and three bonus characters.
===============
2. The basics
===============
Return of the King is an Action-Adventure type game with a bit of RPG
mixed in with it. It's extremely difficult for a first timer, so you
oughta begin with easy mode, even if you've played normal in the
previous
game. Here are some basic things you oughta know before we get
started...
___ ___
/ \ 2========= / _ \
| 4 |1==========| (_) |
\___/ 3\___/
1. Your health meter. This is the most important thing in the game.
Everytime an enemy hits you, this bar goes down. When it gets really
low,
it'll start flashing red, so be really careful, and try to avoid too
many
fights.
2. Your experience bar. There is normally a number above it to, for
example 970/1000. This is how much experience you have, and how much you
need to get to the next level. When this fills, you get some more
abilities to buy, and you keep the previous experience too.
3. This is your hit meter. Every time you hit an enemy, this'll fill a
tiny bit. When this fills, your whole body will glow blue, and each hit
you do does extra damage. to help fill this, use more powerful moves and
combos. If you get hit though, the bar drops right back down and you
have
to start again. This also decreases over time.
4. This is your character picture. It's not important, it just shows who
you're playing as.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
On the battlefield, you'll find various items...
Red bottles - these restore small amounts of health
Green bottles - these restore large amounts of your health
Arrows - these replenish twenty arrows
Elfstones - these give you an extra 1000 experience points
------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
As well as other things, these are generally surrounded by a glowing
blue
circle...
Spears - these can break an enemy's shield, or inflict damage
Fire spears - a more powerful version of a spear
Catapults - these can be fired at things to cause HUGE damage
Hot oil - these will burn anything in their way
Hot coals - these will also burn anything in the way (even you)
Balista - these will cause HUGE damage to enemies
Catapults - these are used for destroying buildings etc.
There are others that do other things like open gates and lower
drawbridges, just have a look around.

- Characters
--------------
NOTE: THESE ARE OPINIONS BASED ON A SURVEY I DID - YOU MAY THINK
DIFFERENT
TO MY RESULTS
In this section, I will feature all of the playable characters,
including
the three bonus characters. They will also be rated so you can get a
rough
picture of their strengths and weaknesses...
Power - how strong the melee (close-range) weapon is
Speed - how fast they are while attacking (mainly Killing Move and
Combos)
Missile - how powerful the ranged weapon is
Accuracy - how far they can shoot, how accurate they are
Endurance - how much damage they can take before dying
These stats are out of 5, 1 being junk and 5 being superb.
~~~~~~~
Aragorn
~~~~~~~
A ranger from the north, known as Strider. Heir to the throne of Gondor,
Aragorn has royal blood in him. He has a wide knowledge of the
landscape,
and is a very powerful Fellowship member. He wields the only weapon
Sauron
fears, the Narsil, which was broken when Isildur cut his hand off.
Reforged by Elrond, the Narsil can slice any opponent in half. He also
carries a bow for long-range fighting.

Faramir
~~~~~~~
Son of Denethor, nutter of Gondor (sorry, Steward of Gondor), Faramir
was
next in line to be protected of the Throne. Brother of Boromir, who died
protecting the Hobbits, Faramir vows to seek revenge on the Uruk-hai and
avenge his brother. He also wields a sword similar to the Narsil, and an
elven longbow for long-ranged shooting.

Frodo
~~~~~
Frodo is the ring-bearer. He is a Hobbit, a race of of strong-willed,
kind-hearted little people. The ring was given to him as a present by
his
uncle Bilbo, and he only found out it's true malice when he was urged to
destroy it by Gandalf. He wields his uncle Bilbo's 'Sting', and wears
his
famous Mithril Vest. He also has the ability to make himself invisible
temporarily, which is a highly useful ability indeed.

~~~~~~~
Gandalf
~~~~~~~
At 7000 years old, Gandalf still has a spring in his step as he cleaves
through enemies softly and swiftly. Once Gandalf the Grey, he was killed
(I think), in the mines of Moria by the Balrog. Revived by the Mirror of
Galadriel, he now lives for one purpose, to destroy the ring. He is in
possession of his mighty white staff, and his famously powerful sword.
His light projectiles can blast through several enemies at once, leaving
a
whole army devastated!
Power - 4
Speed - 3
Missile - 5
Accuracy - 4
Endurance - 3

TOTAL 4
~~~~~
Gimli
~~~~~
Gimli, son of Gloin is a mini battle-tank. He is a dwarf from Moria, and
can hold is own even against several orcs. His small size may fool the
enemies, but it shouldn't fool you. Gimli is the most powerful close
combat fighter in the Fellowship, and with his mioghty axe, no-one can
stand in his way.
Power - 5
Speed - 2
Missile - 2
Accuracy - 2
Endurance - 5
===
TOTAL 3
~~~~~~~
Legolas
~~~~~~~
Legolas is an elf from Mirkwood. All elves have the gift of immortality,
but he risks his life to protect Frodo. Armed with his elvish longbow,
he
can fire arrows and still hit a target hundreds of meters away. Also
armed
with twin blades, his fighting skill is remarkable, weak, but all the
speed of a runaway train.

Speed - 4

~~~~~
Merry
~~~~~
Meriadoc Brandybuck, friend of Frodo, first begins his journey when he
tags along with Pippin on Frodo's journey to destroy the ring. Armed
with
a sharp knife and throwing daggers, as well his stout courage, Merry may
look small, but size doesn't matter.
Power - 2
Speed - 5
Missile - 2
Accuracy - 3
Endurance - 5

TOTAL 3
~~~~~~
Pippin
~~~~~~
Peregrin Took is Merry's best friend, and also tags along with Frodo on
his quest to destroy the ring fo good. Pippin is more of an entertainer
than a fighter, and his skills lie in his ability to get smashed out of
his face and start acting like a prat. Also armed with a sharp knife and
throwing daggers, Pippin is small, but tough.
Power - 2
Speed - 5
Missile - 2
Accuracy - 3
Endurance - 5
===
TOTAL 3
~~~
Sam
~~~
Samwise Gamgee, Frodo's gardener and bodyguard, he joins the quest when
he
is caught eavesdropping by Gandalf. Sam has a stout heart, and can take
down even Sauron when his master is in danger. Armed with a quick-shot
temper, a blade of pure steel and a stack of poisonous throwing knives,
Sam lacks physical power, but relies on his shotgun speed for quick
dispatches.

- Level-up system
-------------------
In Lord of the Rings, everytime you kill an enemy, you get a certain
amount of points, known as experience points, depending on what rating
you
got, (I'll talk about those later). You get levels in it too, from one
to
twenty. Each time you gain a level, you unlock a host of new abilities
to
buy. You don't buy them with money though, you buy them with the
experience you earned. (I'll refer to experience now as 'exp.')
E.g. I play Helm's Deep and get 12,000 exp. points. I also go up two
levels. So now I can buy level three abilities, (you start at level
one...) I buy Orc Hewer, which costs 1000 exp. points, which leaves me
with 11,000 exp. left over to buy some more moves.
Each character has a different set of abilities. But if you get some
exp.
points, and decide not to use them on someone (say Gandalf), you can
save
them and use them on another character instead. Pretty cool.
Every kill you do earns you a different amount of exp. points, like
killing an Uruk-hai get you more than killing a normal Orc, but less
that
what you would get if you killed a troll.
If you string together a number of successful attacks though, the amount
of exp. points awarded changes. If you kill several enemies without
getting hit, your ranking goes up. (You can see what your ranking is on
the dial in the bottom corner.) It'll also go up if you block an enemy
attack, get a normal hit in, or successively use a combo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using the dial... (the one next to your health)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The dial to the left of your health shows how good you are doing. The
further around the circle the colours go, the more points are awarded
for
a kill. When you kill an enemy, you get a rating and a number above you.
Fair
150
This will change from time to time. If you fill the dial on the left 1/4
full, the letters will change according to your ranking. At the 1/4
mark,
you rank will change to good, at the 1/2 way mark, they will change to
excellent, and when the meter is filled, your rank will change to
perfect.
Good Excellent Perfect
300 400 600
Fair - you get an average amount of points
Good - you get double the amount of points
Excellent - you get (just under) triple the amount of points
Perfect - you get four times more points
E.g. If I kill an Uruk-hai, I'd normally get 150 exp. points, but my
meter
is half full, (which would count as excellent), so I'd get 400 instead.
If the meter was full though, I'd get a round 600, but if it was only a
quarter full, I'd only get 300.
So you get the basic idea, I hope. It's not been explained too well, but
you should do okay.
=======================
3. Character Upgrades
=======================
Each character has a different set of abilities to buy. At level 2,
Aragorn could buy Ranger Fury, whereas Gimli couldn't buy this, he'd
have
to buy Dwarven Fury instead. Some moves though, can be brought by
everyone, so these are known as Fellowship upgrade. Moves that can only
be brought by one person are listed on the right, with an N/A in the
Fellowship column. Moves that can be brought by all are listed in both
columns. They can be brought induvidually, or they can be brought
cheaply
for all nine characters at about twice/three times the normal price,
(this is the better option to buy).
