1. “The Legend of the Ring”
I copied this from the manual, so I don’t take any credit for it.
“It began with the forging of the great rings.
“Three were given to the elves-immortal, wisest, and fairest of all
beings.  Seven to the dwarf lords-great miners and craftsmen of the mountain
halls.  And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of men, who, above all
else, desire power.
“For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern
each race.  But they were all of them deceived.  For another ring was made.
“In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord
Sauron forged, in secret, a master ring to control all others.  And into this
ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life.”
“The One Ring”
“The One Ring, an innocent-looking golden band, is by far the most
powerful object in all of Middle-earth.  Put it on, and the wearer becomes
completely invisible.  Using its powers of invisibility draws the attention of
the Dark Lord Sauron, who may dispatch sinister creatures to retrieve The One
Ring.
“The One Ring has a strange corruptive influence, causing greed and
powerlust in many who are exposed to it.  Possessing The One Ring can prolong
the life of its keeper, but corruption from The One Ring will eventually
transform a normal hobbit into a selfish, hideous monster.
“The One Ring was forged thousands of years ago by Sauron in the
fires of Mount Doom.  He was close to using The One Ring’s full power to
dominate Middle-earth when it was cut from his hand in battle.  Sauron has been
trying to reclaim The One Ring ever since losing it, and if he does,
Middle-earth will be plunged into darkness and sorrow.
“To prevent Sauron from possessing The One Ring, it must be
destroyed forever, and this can be accomplished only by throwing it back into
the fiery chasm of Mount Doom.  Frodo shows a remarkable resistance to The One
Ring’s evil influence, so he volunteers to carry it on the perilous journey to
Mount Doom.”
“Middle-Earth”
“Middle-earth is, by and large, a pleasant place.  Hobbits, Men,
Elves, and Dwarves live in peace with one another despite their obvious cultural
differences.  Lately, however, there have been signs of darkness rising
throughout the land.
“Hobbits inhabit an idyllic agricultural valley called the Shire,
where they live in underground houses and have little to worry about besides
nosy family members.  Hobbits are very small, with big hairy feet, and they have
never been known for their courage or adventurous natures.  Frodo’s improbable
journey shows that hobbits can be the bravest and boldest of all creatures.
“The men of Middle-earth are heroic but not entirely trustworthy.
They are known to be selfish and have difficulty controlling their desires.
Even the beloved wizard Gandalf is afraid to handle The One Ring for fear of its
corruptive powers.  Still, Aragorn shows himself to be the best of men in terms
of bravery, dedication, and bravery in battle.
“Elves are gentle, graceful creatures that live in harmony with
nature.  They are immortal unless killed in battle, and they conduct themselves
with the wisdom and calm of the millennia they have lived.  Legolas is a prince
of the Elves, possessing keen eyesight, and remarkable bravery and skill with a
bow.
“Dwarves are short, strong, and often grumpy creatures that excel in
underground endeavors like tunneling and mining for jewels and precious metals.
Their prickly dispositions can often mask the deep bonds that they develop with
relatives and friends.  Gimli is a proud dwarf, and he wields his axe with skill
and might that strikes fear in the hearts of much larger enemies.”
The Fellowship
“Gandalf discovers the true nature of the magical ring Frodo
possesses and urges him to leave the Shire.  Learning of Sauron’s efforts to
recover The One Ring, Frodo quickly escaped the Shire, dodged numerous
Ringwraiths, and made his way toward the Elven stronghold of Rivendell.  Here,
the great leaders of Middle-earth discussed the problem of The One Ring and
Sauron’s recent activities.  It was agreed that The One Ring must be taken to
Mount Doom to be destroyed.  After some debate (and an energetic but fruitless
attempt by Gimli to destroy The One Ring with his axe) it was decided that Frodo
would bear the burden of The One Ring.  Several agreed to accompany and protect
him, including Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir, Sam, Merry, and
Pippin.  Together they formed the Fellowship of the Ring, and set off toward
Mount Doom on their epic adventure.”

3. Walkthrough
A. Prologue
This is just an area where you can practice fighting (as Isildur).
B. Weathertop
(You play this area only as Aragorn.)  Just attack the Ringwraiths
with Y to light them on fire.  Use Y at the fire to light the torch when it goes
out.  Make sure you protect Frodo; later on he won’t be able to run away.
C. Gates of Moria
At first, you’ll just have just a few goblins to fight, but later
on, there are goblins that shoot arrows.  When you can’t reach enemies, use your
long range weapon.  Also, it is helpful to parry with B to avoid getting hit
with arrows.  (Make sure you don’t forget to get the health enemies drop if you
need it.  In some places, there are also boxes you can break for health.)  Later
on, in some water, there will be more goblins, some of which come out from the
water.  It is especially helpful to parry the arrows shot by the goblins here
since you can’t move very fast.  At the end, you’ll have to fight the boss
alone.
Boss: The Watcher is pretty easy.  Just use B when it tries to hit
you with its tentacles, then, cut the tentacles that stick up in the water.  Its
head will come up, so hit it with a long range weapon.  Continue this until you
win.
D. Balin’s Tomb
(Legolas seems to be the best here.)  First of all, you have to
fight a lot of goblins, some of which have shields which you can break with a
Fierce Attack.  After a bit, you’ll have to fight a troll.  This seems like the
time when a lot of health is dropped by the enemies.  Anyway, avoid the troll’s
club when you attack it.  You can use a long range weapon, but it’s faster to
run up to it right after it attacks, then, use a fierce attack or two before
running away again.
Make sure you’re health is full by the time it has half its health gone because
you’ll have to fight it along the edge of the room where you probably won’t be
able to recover any health.  Watch out for a couple goblins up here and hide
behind the pillar so you won’t get hit by the troll’s chain.  After getting hit
enough, the pillars will break, so it’s best to beat the troll before all the
pillars are gone.  You have to hit the troll with a long range weapon, and if
you stand back a bit from the pillar, you can hit the troll without getting hit
by the chain.  (Legolas’s arrows seem to work the best on it, so that’s why he’s
the best for this area.)  When you defeat the troll, the area ends.
E. Amon Hen
There are 75 Uruk-Hai in this area that you need to kill before the
blue meter in the upper right corner of the screen runs out (where Frodo’s face
is shown), otherwise, the Uruk-Hai will catch Frodo.  At this very beginning
area, the other two playable characters will fight with you.  (Up the stairs
nearby is a box, and when you break it, I think it gives you some experience.)
Anyway, all you really need to do is run through here and kill things.  Some
Uruk-Hai shoot arrows and others throw things that light part of the ground on
fire.  Most can easily be killed any way, but some can only be hit with a long
range weapon.  After a little bit is a pointless cut scene showing Frodo hiding
behind a tree.  (Right after that is a doorway, and you can cut through the
plant growing over part of it.  Through the doorway is a box you can break for
experience.)  Later on, with the other two people from the beginning, kill of
the remaining Uruk-Hai and Frodo will be saved.  Hooray.  Go past here for a cut
scene and a boss battle.
Boss: The boss, Lurtz, shoots three arrows at a time very quickly,
and sometimes other Uruk-Hai will attack you.  Anyway, it is easiest to hit him
with your long range weapon.  When you do that enough, he’ll come after you with
a sword.  (Watch out, he’s pretty fast.)  Just go around the statue things so
that he gets his sword stuck in one so you can attack him a bit.  Continue doing
that until you win.
F. Fangorn Forest
In this area, you can break things in your path like logs, but not
until you kill all the enemies in the area.  Anyway, right before a big log,
you’ll have some goblins and orcs to fight.  Run back the way you came right
away so you don’t get surrounded.  After killing these enemies, go into the big
log.  Right at the end, an Uruk-Hai will drop down.  These berserker-type
(that’s what I call them) ones are really annoying and hard to hit.  It really
helps to kill the enemies from earlier quickly enough to charge the skill meter
enough (until your weapon glows and you get a perfect rating), then, kill this
Uruk-Hai.  (If you can’t do that, you can still beat it, it’s just harder.  It
can block attacks easily, so if it keeps blocking you, you might need to get
farther from it, then, try again to hit it.)
Once the Uruk-Hai is killed, right past here is a troll.  It can throw stuff at
you and use its club.  It’s easy to kill if you attack it right after it swings
its club.  Keep that up until you win.  Now break through the gate ahead, and
there will be a cut scene.  Kill the orcs, then, go past here.  There are more
orcs, then, there will be orcs that come out of the water.  Go through the
waterfall and defeat another troll.  Break the box nearby for experience, then,
go farther on and kill another berserker Uruk-Hai.  Past here, kill some orcs,
then, some goblins, then finally, two more trolls.  (There are two paths to
them, and in one is a box with health in it.  In another box near the trolls is
experience.)  Kill the trolls, then, go past here, and there will be a cut
scene.
G. Plains of Rohan
Right at first, you have Gandalf to help you.  Kill the two
Uruk-Hai, then, go into the town.  You have to save enough people; if the green
meter in the upper right hand corner goes low enough, you’ll have to try again.
Kill the Uruk-Hai here, then, go into the building Gandalf opened up.  (He also
leaves for now.)  Break the water barrel to put out the fire.  After a cut
scene, kill the Uruk-Hai right outside the door, then, go up the stairs.  Kill
the Uruk-Hai here, then, go outside.  Kill the berserker Uruk-Hai, then, some
other Uruk-Hai past here.  You’ll have to break a water barrel with a long range
weapon, then, break through the stuff in the path.  Past here, go through the
building.  Outside, Gandlaf will help you again.  Kill the Uruk-Hai here, then,
kill the berserker Uruk-Hai that you can’t reach.  Now, unblock the path to the
left and go that way.  After another cut scene.  Kill all the Uruk-Hai
(including another berserker one) before the people die, then, break the stuff
blocking the doorway to free everyone and end the area.
H. The Westfold
(I used Legolas here.)  There are a lot of explosives here, which
you need to blow up from afar.  It’s best to do this as enemies get near it, so
you can kill them all.  At first, you’ll just have o kill some Uruk-Hai and some
orcs.  At the stream, break the box for some experience, then, past the stream,
along with all the other enemies, you have bomber Uruk-Hai to deal with.  Just
hit them with a long range weapon to blow them up (or you can get near one so it
stops, then run and it will blow itself up).  Past here is a cut scene, then,
you’ll find a lot of enemies and a lot of explosives.  Kill them, then, go past
here.  (Right after here is a box behind some fire. Go up some nearby stairs,
hit the water barrels, then, go up some more steps and break some more barrels
to put out the fire.  Now go and break the box for some experience.)  Kill some
more Uruk-Hai, then, break the cart in the path and go farther.  When you’re
crossing the water, watch out for enemies coming out of the water, arrows, and
bomber Uruk-Hai.  On the other side, blow up the explosives to end the area.
I. Gap of Rohan
First off, kill a couple of Wargs.  (A couple arrows work well on
them.)  Now, break the gate and go past.  Kill the Wargs, then, there will be a
boss battle.  That was quick.
Boss: This isn’t too hard, it just takes a while.  You can’t hurt
this Warg until it rears up, which it does after it charges twice.  When it runs
at you, it’s best to be by the water because it’s less likely to get you.  (If
you’re closer, be careful because if you’re running in one direction, it will go
that way, too, so you need to run in the other direction before it gets too
close.)  Also, the Warg can hit you if you’re close to it, like after it rears
up.  Sometimes, other Wargs come over, and the things riding on them shoot
arrows.  Just hit them from afar, then, continue fighting the boss.  When you
win, the area will be over.
J. Helm’s Deep: The Deeping Wall
All you have to do here is knock down ladders (with your combat
kick) and kill enemies.  At first, there are goblins, then, orcs.  After that
are Uruk-Hai and right at the end, there was one of the berserker Uruk-Hai (or
more, but I only saw one).  Sometimes, you’ll have to watch out for arrows and
stuff the catapults are throwing.  On the upper right corner of the screen is
the meter that shows how many enemies there are.  Don’t let it fill up.  That
meter is also a map, and the red dots are the ladders.  Just keep killing
enemies until the area ends.
K. Helm’s Deep: Breached Wall
(Legolas is the best here.)  You need to defend the gate, so don’t
let the meter run out for the gate.  Enemies will attack it, so try to kill them
as early as possible.  There are many bomber Uruk-Hai which you can shoot from
afar.  They can blow up some of the orcs, but you’ll probably have to deal with
the shielded orcs yourself.  Anyway, after a lot of Orc killing, some ordinary
Uruk-Hai (three actually) and one of the berserker Uruk-Hai will come.  Kill
them and the big group of archers that come shortly after, then, kill another
beserker Uruk-Hai.
This next part is really annoying.  Now you have a troll to fight, while also
keeping the bomber Uruk-Hai away from the gate.  You must blow them up, since
they won’t blow themselves up when you get close to them anymore.  It’s hard to
kill them while fighting the troll, so what I did was just focus on getting rid
of the bombers.  Once there aren’t any that are close to the gate, you can’t
quickly attack the troll, then, shoot any Uruk-Hai that have gotten close.
Repeat until that troll finally dies, then, you’ll have a catapult to destroy.
You’ll have to get past some Uruk-Hai, some shielded Orcs, and some archers.  At
the catapult, destroy the wooden things around the sides and the front.  (You
can destroy two at once by attacking between one on the side and the one on the
front.  Also, make sure you get rid of those archers.  They can light part of
the ground on fire and prevent you from getting near the catapult.)  Once the
catapult is destroyed, the area will end.
L.Helm’s Deep: Hornburg Courtyard
You have to defend this gate from orcs and goblins for a bit.  After
a cut scene, go up some steps and help someone (Aragorn or Legolas, depending on
who you are), then, go back down to the gate.  There are now Uruk-Hai here, too.
Defend the gate for a bit longer, then, when someone yells something about
archers on the wall, go up the stairs and shoot down the archers on the far
wall.  (Though, if no one says anything, go shoot the archers once a lot of
arrows start hitting the gate.)  When you’re back at the gate, there will also
be berserker Uruk-Hai, and a bit later, there will be two trolls.  Kill them;
luckily, they aren’t paying much attention to you, so it should be easier.  Once
the trolls are killed the area will end.  Now you can replay earlier areas and
try to unlock the secret places.
M. Tower of Orthanc
At first, you can play this area as either Aragorn, Legolas, or Gimli, depending
on if you’ve unlocked it or not.  Once you beat it, you will unlock another
Tower of Orthanc that you can play as Isildur.  He is at level 10 with all the
same upgrades Aragorn can get, so it is very easy with him.  With Aragorn, both
normal attacks and his bow are very useful.  With Legolas, it is very useful to
have all the arrow upgrades.  If you’re using Gimli, ordinary attacks work best.
(Don’t forget to use your rising attack when you can.  It is useful, whoever
you are.)
Anyway, this area has twenty floors, and at the end of every floor, you’ll
recover some health and get back five arrows/throwing axes.
Floor 1: Here are just some Uruk-Hai (which can be quickly killed by a few
arrows if you aren’t Gimli).
Floor 2: This floor just has Uruk-Hai and shielded orcs.
Floor 3: There are Uruk-Hai and orcs.
Floor 4: There are Uruk-Hai and shielded orcs again.
Floor 5: Here are orcs, both with shields and without.
Floor 6: There are archers here.
Floor 7: Here are Uruk-Hai, normal orcs, and archers.
Floor 8: Here are shielded orcs and archers.
Floor 9: Here are shielded orcs and archer orcs again.
Floor 10: On this floor are Uruk-Hai and archers.
Floor 11: There are just archers here.
Floor 12: There are Uruk-Hai, orcs, and archers.
Floor 13: Once again, there are Uruk-Hai and archers.
Floor 14: Here are more Uruk-Hai, archers, and also some shielded orcs.
Floor 15: Finally something new.  There are more archers and a troll.  This
troll (it’s a darker color compared to the tougher trolls) can be killed by
arrows easily.
Floor 16: There are berserker Uruk-Hai.
Floor 17: Now there are Uruk-Hai, berserker Uruk-Hai, and archers.
Floor 18: Along with a troll, there are archers and berserker Uruk-Hai.
Luckily, if the troll is near the others, it may kill them with its club.
Floor 19: There are orcs, archers, and two trolls.  (One is a weaker cave
troll.)  Trolls can kill other enemies and each other, so make sure they stay
close to each other so you may only have to fight one.
Floor 20: There are archers, shielded orcs and three trolls.  Kill the darker
colored one with arrows then the other two just like before.  Now you’re done.
If you’ve beaten this with Isildur, you can see the credits.
