Evil
mode: Complete a chapter to unlock the ability to replay it in Evil
mode. This is an easy way to gain weapons, armor, and Elfstones.
Hint:
Easier Evil mode: If you are having trouble completing Evil mode, save the game in
Eregion, then exit and go into Evil mode. The difficulty is greatly reduced.
Hint:
Restore HP and AP: If you are low on HP or AP, find a save point. Save your game and
both your HP and AP will be completely refilled.
Hint:
Everlasting health: Once your Elf healer gains the Valor move that presets whoever
you choose with an instant revival when ever you die, use it at the
beginning of each battle on her first, then on everyone else. If you
maintain this so that no enemies can truly kill you, you will almost always
be the victor.
Hint:
Unlimited items: Got to Eregion after you get the Craft Item Stone. Then, find an
Archer. Cast Fellowship Grace with Belethor and the Haste Of The Elves
ability with Idrial on whoever has the Craft Item Stone equipped. You will
never run out of AP, and the character creating items goes very fast,
producing a lot of items. This is especially useful for the Elf Medicine
item. Also, you can level up character abilities that do not damage foes.
Hint:
Better healing: If you use Elf Medicine, try and use it with Idrial. If this is
done, it will give full health instead of half.
When using an item that heals
or improves anything below full health, (for example, Kingsfoil), the amount
healed or improved depends on your Spirit Power Score. Chose one character
(Idrail recommended) to have the highest Spirit Score, and with her spirit
powers she will become your "White Mage". Note: This rule only
works in battle; when you are outside of battle, the character you are using
it on is actually the one using it.
Hint:
Defeating the Balrog: Stock up on Elf Medicine before fighting the Balrog. Have Gandalf
use it to bring you back to life; you will get more unit points back if
Gandalf uses it on you. Also, equip any Fire protection Elf Stones you have.
The Balrog has about 70,000 HP.
Eodain.
Use the following trick to
defeat the Balrog or Witch King. You must have first opened at least 25% of
the treasure chests before the Balrog. Save just before the Balrog or Witch
King. Then, check for two items in your inventory, Arnor Mushrooms and
Morgul Decay. If you have at least one of these, it will be an easy battle.
When you start the battle, have Gandalf use Protection From shadow. Then
with the rest of your characters, use Morgul Decay on the enemy to get rid
of their armor and use Arnor Mushrooms on Gandalf. Note: If Berethor has a
weapon with 150+ and has double attack and Ecthelion Wrath or better, use
Arnor Mushrooms on him and he will do a lot more damage. Take out Idrial and
use Heal on party until all are dead except for the main attacker. After a
while your opponent will be dead.
When fighting the Balorg. use a
Morgul Decay, which will make its armor 0. Once that is done, you will do
about ten times more damage and defeating it will be a lot easier.
Have plenty of Elf Medicine.
Use Idrial in the battle. Gandalf has the only attack that inflicts a good
amount of damage;, concentrate on using Bolt Of The Valar to attack the
Balrog. The Balrog has about 70,000 HP and Gandalf's Bolt Of The Valar
inflicts about 5,000 to 6,000 HP each attack. Have Idrial use Aura Of The
Valar on Gandalf, who will then be fully restored when he is knocked out.
Make sure to use Aura Of The Valar on Gandalf again each time he is knocked
out and restored. Use Elf Medicine to restore Idrial when she is knocked
out. Make sure she has enough action points (50) to be able to keep using
Aura Of The Valar on Gandalf when he needs it. Use Elf Medicine as necessary
to restore other characters, and have them use items to give Idrial attack
points or Elf Medicine to revive her when she needs it. Continue this
pattern until the Balrog is defeated.
Hint:
Defeating the Mumakil: Use Stand Fast to prevent stun from Stomp; Paralyze to prevent
Melee; Silence to Stop Spirit Immune to Bind Ranged; so Blind and/or Reduce
Ranged Damage from Haradrim Volley (only attack it has remaining). Pierce is
also recommended.
Hint:
Defeating Sauron: On the battle of The Dark Lord Sauron, use Morgul Decay just like
was done on the Witch King. The Dark Lord knows Berethor is strong. He will
probably use Darkest Fear on him, then he will not be able to battle for a
while. Use Elven Rage and it will do somewhere from 16,000 to 19,000 damage
if it is a critical hit. Do not use Elegost. He misses often when you fight
the Dark Lord. Try Eaoden, but his move Drain Health still only does 4,000
HP. Use Hadhod and kept using Cleaving Wound.
Have Hadhod, Elgost, and
Berethor in your party. Make sure your Perfect meter is full, and you have
Hadhod's passive skill that lets him always get criticals when the Perfect
meter is full. On your first turn, use Morgul Decay on Sauron. On Berethor's
first turn, have him use either double attack with Company Migh and War
Call, or Company Night if you do not have Double Attack. Next, add the item
that adds light damage to your melee/ranged attacks to Hadhod. He should now
do about 33,000 damage every time he attacks.
Make sure you have Hadhod,
Eaoden, and Berethor in your party. Make sure Eaoden has Rampage Of Helm and
Berethor has the Double Attack and War Cry. Also, make sure each character
has at least 5,000 HP. If the fight begins with you going first, and if the
first person is not Berethor, use a Morgul Decay on Sauron. Whenever it is
Hadhod's turn, use the best attack that he has. When it is Eaoden's turn,
use Rampage Of Helm. When it is Berethor's turn, use the combo of Double
Attack and War Cry. It should not take very long to defeat him, as long as
you use a Morgul Decay.
Use Idrial and cast Aura Of The
Valar. Sauron will often use Paralysis Of Light, which will make characters
unable to cast spells; therefore, cast it the first time Idrial has a turn.
When Idrial dies, she will be brought back to life. Use Frenzy. By doing
this, Idrial will get two Spirit moves opposed to one before Sauron uses
Paralysis Of Light on the characters again. Remember to cast Aura Of The
Valar after Idrial dies. She now has one more Spirit move remaining, which
can be used to bring another character back to life (Power Of The Valar) or
cast a spell on Sauron. Repeat this strategy and you will not die.
When fighting Sauron, use
Elegost, Berethor and Idrial. Berethor will need to know Gondor Rage.
Elegost will need to know True Shot. Idrial will need to know Aura of the
Valar and Power of the Valar. Also, make sure you have a Morgul Decay and a
few Dwarven Ales. On your first turn, have your character use the Morgul
Decay on Sauron. Then, Elegost should do about 40,000 damage with True Shot
(level 70 and up). Berethor can then do the same with Gondor Rage (all
together, not each hit). When Idrial's turn comes around, make her use
Frenzy and do Power of the Valar to Elegost and herself. If Sauron uses
Paralysis Of Light, have a free character use a Dwarven Ale on them to
remove the stun. It is possible to defeat Sauron in under ten turns.
Start by having Idrial with the
Aura Of The Valar ability in your party, and two characters with Ignore
Enemy Armor abilities. Then, have Idrial cast Aura Of The Valar on herself
and your other two characters. From here on, have Idrial use attacks that
weaken the enemy or heal your party members, which you probably will not be
able to do with him using Paralysis Of Life. Keep your two characters with
Ignore Enemy Armor moves attacking the dark lord. He will cast Fear Of
Darkness and will prevent your characters from moving. If you continue
casting Aura Of The Valar on everyone, when they die have the people who
have Ignore Enemy Armor skills attack Sauron and you will defeat him soon.
Hint:
Defeating the Witch King: To defeat the Witch King at the Pelennor Fields, make sure that
you have Hadhod's Second Age Dwarven Mithril Piercing Axe and the Dwarven
Mithril Helm. When you face the Witch King, use these attacks: Berethor's
Stunning Strike and Ectehlion Wrath, Hadhod's Mountain Rage, and Eaoden's
Enraging Blow and Rohirrim Rage. The Witch King has 200,562 HP and 59,098
AP.
Enter the fight with Perfect
mode. Have your first character use the Banner of Elendil special. It will
not actually stun the Witchking to make him stop attacking, but will disable
his ability to counterattack for a great while. Then, have your next
character use Morgul Decay, an item that completely rids the enemy of its
armor. Now that the Witchking is completely vulnerable and will not
counterattack, have your characters deal out their combos, such as
Berethor's Ecthelion Wrath and the Rohirrim's Wrath of Edoras.
Hint:
Defeating Orc Veterans: In the Minas Tirith and Pelennor Fields levels, your basic Orc
Veteran has at least 20,000 HP. You can use Berethor's Orc Bane twice to
kill them. If it does not die, just use a plain attack to save your AP.
In Osgilath, you will encounter
the big Orc featured in Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King.
First, use Farimir's Quality (where he will counter attack for someone). Do
it to everybody. He will counter attack for everyone with a volley of
arrows. Then, use Captain's Volley until he runs away. For Berethor, use
Ecthelion Wrath. For Idrial, use Loud Water Fury. For Eadon, use Rupture
Armor. You may also want to use Morgul Decay. Do not have Elgost out, as he
misses to much. It is best to have Idrial, Eadon, Berothor, or Morwen.
Use the following trick to
defeat the Orc leader in Osgilanth for the second time. Have Eaden,
Berothor, and Indrial. You will also have Faramir. First, use Morgul Decay
on the Orc captain. Then, if you have Berothor use his three hit move. If
you have Eadon, use Rupture Armor. If you have Idrial, use Loudwater Fury.
If you have Faramir, use the move that he counter attacks for someone; use
it on Idrial. When someone dies, use Idrial's move that brings them back to
life. If Idrial, dies use Elf Medicine. Keep doing this until the Orc
captain retreats. When you have your turn with Faramir, use Captain's
Volley. Also, when your party gets low on health use Lorien's Water.
Hint:
Defeating enemies with strong attacks: When fighting enemies with strong attacks, use a move that will
stun the enemy whenever they are about to attack. By doing this, they will
not be able to attack you.
Hint:
Helm's Deep: When you are at Helm's Deep, find Gamling in the armory. He will
tell you to find Aragorn and his friends. Legolas will tell you where
Aragorn and Gimli are located if you find him first. Legolas is outside
along the wall. You must also find King Theoden who is also outside. After
you talk to all of them, you must go back to Gamling. He will tell you that
the Orcs broke through and it is time to fight. You will get to fight with
Legolas first, Gimli next, then Aragorn last.
Hint:
Helm's Deep: Exploring and getting more weapons: When you first get to the Helm's Deep level, you will start in
the stables. After you save, you will be able to explore the entire
fortress. However, if you just want to fight immediately, find Theoden and
talk to him. Then, explore the passageways outside of the Great Hall. Look
carefully to find Gamling in the armory. He will tell you to look for
Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. Gimli is in the Great Hall (drinking), Legolas
is on the Deeping Wall, and Aragorn is back in the stables talking to his
horse. Before you return to Gamling, take some time and explore. By doing
this you will find treasure chests containing helpful items. You will also
find new bows for Elegost, helms and swords for Berethor and Idrial, axes
for Morwen and Hadhod (plus a special hammer for Hadhod if you search hard
enough), and possibly a better spear for Eaoden. After doing this, make sure
you are ready with your armor and check your stock of Elf Medicine and other
items. Then, go to Gamling and he will ask you to join him on the Deeping
Wall. After that, the battle will begin.
Hint:
Transferring Evil Mode treasure: Any treasure acquired in Evil Mode can be transferred to a
regular saved game.
Eodain.
Hint:
Berethor: Good sword: To start the the game with a very good sword for Berethor (the
first character you start with), do the evil mode of Osgiliath and save it
on an early game. By doing this, you will get the Sword Of Isildur, which
has a 200+ damage rating. At the beginning of the game, you can give at
least 2,000 damage points from a normal hit with this weapon.
Hint:
Morwen: Better weapons: Use her Steal Item ability on unique enemies (i.e. Bosses) such
as Grima Wormtounge. This will give you weapons not found anywhere else.
Note: Some of the Bosses have the same weapons.
Hint:
Morwen: Ultimate weapon: Use Steal Item from the Witch King at Pelennor Fields to get the
Third Age Rohirric Silver Battle Ax (base: x90 +9 per level, +8 Str, -2 Dex,
+3 Spd)..
Hint:
Recommended weapons: Throughout the game there will be many different weapons; swords,
spears, bows, axes. The better weapons for Berethor would be the First Age
Mithril lon sword of the Valar. For Eaoden, the Second Age Silver Spear of
the Queen of Lorien. For Hadhod, use his Second Age Dwarven Mithril piercing
axe.
Hint:
Building skills: Get some of the best skills very early in the game, just
practice. In the first level, find an enemy respawn point near a save point.
Once there, keep attacking until you run out of AP and save the game. Your
AP should have refilled, as well as your health. Keep doing this, and after
a few hours you will get the special move from Berethor that can hit an
enemy five times in a row. Note: This works for all characters, and not just
Berethor.
Get to about the Village in
Rohan, after you get Morwen, then save the game and travel back to Ereigon.
Find some Orcs and fight them. Do not do attack skills. For Morwen, use your
Steal skills or her Haste skill. Remember to steal action points. For
Idrial, just use Drain Inspiration. You will never run out of points, and it
gives you a Spirit point every time it is cast. For Elegost, keep using your
Craft Item ability. This will give you a ability point in it, and will give
you a free item. For HadHod, keep using either the Rock Shield ability or
the Whole Party Flame Shield ability. Again, after awhile you will get a new
skill. Remember not to kill the Orcs until you need to heal or level up a
skill.
Find a save point anywhere when
you get the ability to travel. Then, travel anywhere possible and keep
battling (use Spirit Powers or Sword Craft) until you get as many levels and
skills as desired. This is best done when you are about to face the Balrog.
In Moria, when you are fighting
the Goblin drummer, do not kill the him. Kill the goblins in front of him
and leave the drummer. He will call on new Goblins all the time. This is a
good way to gain experience and train abilities.
When in Moria and you are
fighting a Goblin wizard (not a wizard who uses melee attacks), do not
attack him. Just use abilities like Fellowship Grace, Stone Shield, Craft
Item and Haste Of The Elves. The wizard will run out of AP and cannot
attack.
There are several battles in
which the party is surrounded (usually with Orcs). In this example,
Berethor, Idrial, Hadhod were used. Battle as usual to kill all foes.
However, single out one enemy to never attack. Once all other enemies are
killed, you can start using your non-attack Spirit Powers with the two party
members that are not facing the enemy. In this example, have Idrial facing a
Warg. Every time Idrial's turn comes up, cast Aura Of The Valar (automatic
resurrection) so that she can be attacked by the Warg and come back.
Meanwhile, just keep casting Company Valor with Berethor (uses the least
amount of SP) and cast a low SP spell with Hadhod. Once you run out of SP,
use an item to restore it again. Note: This will take some time.
Hint:
Easy wins: Do not use the normal attack. With Hadhod and Idrial use Spirit
Powers. With Elegost, use Ranged Craft. With Berethor, use Sword Craft. With
Morwen, use Thief Craft. With Eaoden, use Spear Craft. You will only get new
skills if you use Spirit Powers, Sword Craft, Ranger Craft, Thief Craft, or
Spear Craft. You will not get new skills by using the normal attack. When
you get all skills in the crafts listed, use Axe Craft with Hadhod, Sword
Craft with Idrial, Leadership with Berethor, Bow Craft with Elegost, and
Dual-Axe Craft with Morwen. Eaoden may have two different kinds of skills.
If he does, train the other. If he does not, change him with one of the five
others.
Hint:
Ancient Elfstones : Complete the game, defeat Sauron, and have 100% of the game
completed. Then, enter evil mode with this game. After this, choose Pelennor
Fields to fight at. Your first battle is Berethor, Eaoden, and Hadhod vs.
the Mumakil. Defeat all three of them to go to the Battle Of The Witch-King,
then after him, Sauron. Complete all three to gain four Ancient Elfstones.
Hint:
Gaining new moves: When fighting groups of Orcs, use Elegost's Sleeping Arrows,
after getting Elegost's passive skill that effects all foes with them. Then,
use the Double Attack skill with Berethor and his three hit attack. Just
before killing the last Orc, use everyone's Spirit skill to gain SP points.
This will allow you to gain new moves that would normally take many fights
to gain.
