Welcome to the Lord of the Rings – The Return of the King Weapons
and Items FAQ for Gameboy Advance. This is my first ever FAQ and I hope
you find it useful. If you have any contributions, see something missing,
or find a mistake email me at arty_404@hotmail.com. I will hopefully soon
finish this FAQ.
---------------------------------------
FAQ
---------------------------------------
Q. Where do I get this game?
A. Any game store should have it.
Q. Is this game good?
A. Yes, it’s OK.
Q. Why did you make a guide like this, are bonus maps and items related?
A. I made this because there was already a item guide, and I also noticed
there was no Bonus Map guide.
Q. What does "Regeneration" or (R) mean?
A. It means that the enemy found will keep re-spawning, for a limited amount
or possibly until a goal is completed, or sometimes they will just
continue to re-spawn forever.
Q. I fought a different amount of [insert enemy here] than your guide says
on [insert level here], what’s that mean?
A. Nothing, some of my numbers aren't accurate, sorry about this, but the
should be close.
Q. What are items?
A. Items are objects picked up or bought throughout the game that can
have a variety of effects, such as healing you, or boosting your stats.
Q. What are weapons / armor?
A. Weapons and armor are items picked up during the game that you can equip
to your character to get stat / attribute bonuses.
Q. How do I pick up items?
A. Stand over them and press the "R" Button.
Q. What about those treasure chests?
A. Same thing, stand in front of them and press the "R" Button.
Q. Are you going to list all the chest locations and there contents?
A. No. Why? Because the contents are completely (well not really) random.
Q. My item's name is written in a green font, am I screwed?
A. No, that means the item has a prefix and is valued at more (and usually
better) than normal items.
Q. My item's name is written in a red font, am I screwed?
A. No, that means the item is a non-equip able unique item or it has a
suffix; both are very rare and valuable.
Q. My item's name is written in a blue font, am I screwed?
A. No, that means that you just picked up one of the rarest items in the
game: a unique.
Q. My item's name is written in blue, but it's not on your Uniques list, what
is it?
A. It's an ancient artifact item, they are found (randomly) after linking up
to a Gamecube. Also, ancient artifacts have different equipping characters
than normal ones (e.g. Tabard can only be used by Gandalf, not others)
Q. Which weapons are Melee, and which are Impaling?
A. It will tell you on the item screen. Look at the + Damage to see what kind
it inflicts.
Q. How do you know the stats increases of everything?
A. I have found every item and then I typed what I saw on the GBA screen,
so I'm pretty sure they are right.
Q. Will you ever complete the Prefix / Suffix section?
A. I doubt it, as there are so many, if you have a list: e-mail it to me
and I will add it. I will of course give you full credit.
A. Are the Prefixes / Suffixes of items also random?
Q. No, they are based off the area you are playing in.
Q. Do I get better items if I play on Hard / Grueling mode?
A. Yes and no, you will get better Prefixes and Suffixes, but items will
stay the same, you also get more Experience Points.
Q. The how can I find the best items?
A. Use a MAX Keen Eyes & Dwarf Sense Gimli in the bonus map Fangorn or the
Black Gate level. Having Treasure Hunt boosting equipment also helps.
Q. Where are Forges / Ranger Hollows / Rune Forges?
A. You can find them in most “campsite” areas in the game, along with some
hidden in normal areas, but as there are many areas like this and this
isn't a walkthrough I wont be giving a full list, consult one if you
really can't find one.
Q. So what exactly are "campsite" areas?
A. Simply areas that are named "[insert campsite location here] Campsite".
There are always a Rune Forge and a Ranger Hollow in a "campsite" area,
and there are never any enemies (I believe there is 1 exception). To
see if you are in a "campsite" area, save your game, and check the area
on the new save data.

Intro
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Well, these are some of the funniest parts of the game. There are four
(4) in total, most being places from older parts revisited, they are: Moria,
Amon Sul (Weathertop), Helm's Deep, and Fangorn Forest.
To access a bonus map, fulfill the requirements (listed below), go to
the start-up menu (where you chose "New Game", "Continue" etc.) and go to
"Bonus Maps". Now chose the character you want to play as, or chose an empty
file to start a new game in the bonus map, and then pick your path. After
picking it will ask you to pick a level of your path (though there is and
will only ever be 1) such as Dwarf Halls or the Hornburg. Next pick the
difficulty you wish to play on. Now the games begin!!!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Smeagol & Sam
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Well, by now the secret characters are widely known: Smeagol (or
Gollum) and Sam. I won't tell you haw to get the, but I will tell you that
you can only use them in bonus maps or multiplayer. To do this, select the
"Bonus Maps" option and go to an empty file (if you don't have one you can't
use these two). It will say: "Pick a Hero" and if you have fulfilled their
requirements, Sam and Smeagol can be found by scrolling through characters.
Sam is identical (except for his sprite) to Frodo, and Gollum is just pure
shit, but can get good if you level him up.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Moria
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-----------------------------------------
Intro
-----------------------------------------
"Khazad-dum was the greatest of the Dwarf cities in Middle-earth. It's vast
halls lay under Celebdil, Caradhras and Fanuidhol. From its mines came the
only source of the impervious metal called mithril. But a Balrog of Morgoth
slept in the deeps of Khazad-dum, and when it awoke the Dwarves of the city
were killed or driven from their home, and Durin, Khazad-dum's lord, met his
bane. The halls of Khazad-dum were taken over by Goblins and other evil
creatures and it became known as Moria, the Black Chasm, and was a place of
evil, fear and dread."
Yup, Moria is really infested with goblins. Many vets will remember this place
from The Two Towers (TTT). It's changed a bit, and is composed of 5 levels.
The greatest thing about this place is that it's very maze-like, and some of
the puzzles I haven't managed to solve yet....
-------------------------------------------
Requirements
-------------------------------------------
~ Kill 2,000 or more Orcs with one character ~
The kill count is on the "Stat" page of the menu, with your strength, courage,
accuracy, etc. To see it, press "START" in-game and then press the "R" Button.
Beside a poorly proportioned head will be a number in red; that has to hit
2,000 to get Moria to appear.

Sorry about the terrible ASCII, but, as you may have noticed, the whole area
is pretty much stairs. Anyway, go left, down the first set of stairs, there
some Goblins here, nothing to worry about. At the bottom you are greeted by
Archers. Kill them, and go through the cracked walls to be attacked by Baby
Spiders, millions of them. These babies keep coming from the wells, a good
source of herbs, healing and cash $_$. To the right are full grown spiders,
these can poison you, just watch out for the red ones, they're pretty strong
at low levels. Now go all the way left, down the stairs, use the Shrine if
needed, now down the next three sets of stairs. This should spawn Goblin
Archer Champions to appear all over the landings between the stairs, if it
doesn't, try going up and down the staircase to your right. Anyway, if you
can manage to kill all the newly spawned Archer Champions, a new treasure
chest awaits you on the top, above the Shrine.
To leave this stupid stair-full place, go all the way down all 4 stairways,
the hug the bottom wall, and walk over the two switches, this opens the
door between them. Go through, open your chests (one explodes for 50%
health), kill the Spider Champions, walk over the switch, and lastly use
the Health Pool if needed. If you pressed the switch, go out of the room,
and go right untill you reach a new door, that should now be open. Through
it are a few (5) goblins, and your exit !!_!!

This level is literally LONG, the map is kind of screwed up because of the
margin limit and the width of this level, so.... Anyway, you start by going
right, (there is a chest right beside you) you don't need to go down the
stairs unless you want EXP and items: another cool feature about this level,
there are random items all over the place, I have tried to point these out.
Anyway, if you continue right you will see a dwarf statue (Baby Spiders spawn
from behind it), go down, unto the ridge, kill the two Goblin Champions, and
hit switch A, now go back up and continue left, egnore the stairs for now,
get the items if you want, and once you reach a second statue (also with Baby
Spiders regenerating like mad) then go down, kill two more Goblin Champions,
and hit Switch B, the screen will shift and a door will open. This door is
between the two platforms, so go of the platform, then down the staircase.
South of you should be 8 Goblin Soldiers all huddled together, when you walk
up, they run apart to reveal another Champion, but to the right of these, we
will find our newly opened door.
Go through and you'll be attacked by two Half-Trolls, they're herder than
regular enemies, and hit hard. Anyway, once they are dead open the two chests
use the Shrine if needed, and hit switch C, the screen wil shift far south-
east to show you another door opening. Anyway, get out of this room and go
up the staircase, then go ALL the way right, until you hit a Forge. A little
below this Forge is a staircase, go down it, then go past the pillar (Goblins
come down it) and the Spider Champions (or kill them), until you reach two
staircases.
The stairs on the right is the way to the exit, and the one on the left leads
to three (3) more chests, a Forge and a ton of Baby Spiders & Goblin Champions.
Also, on my map it says there should be a Half-Troll guarding the left stair-
way, he will only appear after opening the chests down below. Anyway, once
that's sorted out, go down the right staircase to find three Maggot Swarms
feasting on a dead Hlf-Troll, and a chest in the top left corner. If you kill
all the Maggots, it turns out that the Troll isn't dead, he'll get up and
attack you. Once your done with him, go through the door (this was the one we
saw opening) into the last room. A Goblin Champion is guarding the exit and
up the chamber is a fully grown CAVE TROLL, this is the BIG one, and three
Maggot Swarms guarding three more chests (woah, shitload of chests here).
Once your done with the Cave Troll (remember he's optional), go all the way
east and out the level. ;)

This is a very, very emty level, no re-spawing enemies andvery few enemies,
make this a very easy level. Also, I would like to mention the area on the
right wall. You can see a switch here, so I don't think it is inaccessible,
but I have not found a way into this place, if anyone knows, please contact
me. On the the guide, start by going down the stairs. The ones on the right
lead to an area with nothing for now, but after killing all the Goblin
Archers below the left stairs, you will find a barrel, with a barrle, and
a crate inside it, after all are broken a Orc Drummer pops out, and when you
kill him a mysterious flame appears. I don't know what it's for, but if the
flame is there than Goblin Soldiers and Champions appear all over the area to
the left, hmm....
Ok, go down the left staircase, you'll be attacked by 8 Archers shooting you
from behind statues. Kill them and go down the next set of stairs (below you
is a Shrine), then go left, into a big area. A few random items around here,
as well a Baby Spiders all by themselves, but go to the middle-right wall.
There should be crates and barrels. Break them all and step on the remains.
There is a switch under one. Once you find it, go down, between the pillars
(Goblins can climb down now), and then go left, to a newly opened door. Go
through, to the left you will find 8 random items and 4 Goblins Soldiers.
To the right you see a chest, open it, then go south, you'll find a second
chest, go left from here. Once half-way, Maggot Swarms and Goblins will climb
out of the cracks, but they're nothing to worry about. At the end will be a
switch guarded by a Soldier Champion.
Now get out of this place (right than up), and once outside the door, hug
the wall east (right), until you reach a Forge. Below you should be another
just-opened door. Go through and you'll be attacked by two Half-trolls, and
the Orc Drummers start beating, increases the Eye of Sauron, no worries,
there are no Crebain. Once you kill them, open the chest, and go around the
wall for the exit. On to the final level !_!

Helm's Deep
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
--------------------------------------------
Intro
--------------------------------------------
"The stronghold of Rohan, located near the Gap of Rohan at the foot of
Thrihyrne - the northern-most part of The White Mountains. Between the
Mountain's arms lay a valley called the Deeping-coomb. Across the Deeping-
Coomb stretched a trench called Helm's Dike, and behind this rampart was
Helm's Deep; the site for the Battle of the Hornburg. It was a narrow ravine,
high cliffs on both sides blocked out all sunlight. With the Deeping-Coomb
stretching across the entrance to the Hornburg, no army had yet prevailed
while man stayed defending it"
Ok, Helm's Deep is like... the battle arena for this game, at first a super
annoying level, and then a big series of battles. That's right, just two
levels, this place is short, but could be challenging. Again, it's from
The Two Towers, but this time it's an exact copy of two of the levels.
However, enemies and the difficulty has been enhanced. This is also a great
place to treasure hunt.
----------------------------------------------
Requirements
----------------------------------------------
~ Complete the game at least once, with any character ~
Now, you can do this with anyone you like, but the weird part is, seeing the
credits counts as completing the game! That's not weird at all, right? Well, it
means that you can simply finish another bonus map (Moria) to get this one to
appear.

Aragorn: Saruman's forces are upon us! Drive them out!
The point of this place is to get across the wall alive, and to smash
down all the ladders. Luckily, unlike in The Two Towers, these ladders cannot
be put back up. So how is it harder? Archers from below sometimes shoot arrows
at you (and you can't stop it), not to mention tons of explosions if you step
in the wrong space. You really need some Kingsfoil herbs for this level.
Now go quick down the stairs, kill the Uruk Grunt Champ, the go east,
as the staircase below you is destroyed. You'll come across an Uruk Bomber
and around 5 Grunts. Break the ladder above them, and start going South-east.
You'll see two more ladders, along with Orc Champs (they have 2 swords) and
Wild Men. Break the ladders, go east and up the ridge soon seen. Kill the
bombers, break the 4th ladder and go pack to our path. Kill the Champ seen
here, then go east for the last 2 ladders, and some Uruk Grunts. Now go east
to the end. If you broke all the ladders there will be a rumble and you will
go to the next level, if not, you can just fight Bomber Champions until you
want to. Watch out for all the explosions on this level, but I can't show
you where they are as my ASCII map isn't nearly big enough, nor is it to
scale. If your having way to much trouble, break the barrels for food and
herbs.
