Version History

Version 1.00
I only put the quests that are needed to complete the game for now. I'll put
the one's that aren't needed, but are fun to complete, in later.

Version 1.1
I added a little bit more to the section about e-mailing me. I also added a
question I got asked quite a few times.

Version 1.2
I added a few tiny things that don't really need to be mentioned (the "Last
Updated" thing at the top).

Version 1.3
I added a little important note at the top. I also added a credits section with
a few people that sent me stuff to make things easier for you, and what they
sent were easier ways to beat the barrow-wight.

Version 1.4
I added a section with the only sites that have permission to use my guide as
of when I last updated this.

Version 1.5
I added a person, that noticed a misdirection, into the Credits section.

Version 1.6
Two more sites with my guide on them. They're down in the section with my
permission. Also another "Important" note at the top and it's also in the
e-mail section. Furthermore my computer decided not to be able to play the game
anymore. So all of the secondary quests in Hobbiton may not be put in for quite
a while until I figure out what's wrong.

Version 1.7
Oh boy! That took long enough! I've finally got one of the secondary quests up,
but i did it all by memory because my game is flipping out. On top of that,
there's two more people in the credits section for helping me out.

Version 1.8
And there is yet another site with my guide on it. So it's down there in the
website section.

Version 1.9
Got few more people in the credits section. One wanted to remain anonymous,
though. Also an item and weapon section which was inspired by the anonymous
person.

Version 2.00
Added a question I got asked several times into the FAQ section. So look at it,
memorize it, and never ask me that question again. I also added two sites that
have my permission to post my guide on it. Oh yeah, and thanks to a person, who
is now in the credits section, the other side quest in 'The Shire' has been
added to this guide. One more thing, another thanks to a certain person, who is
also in the credits section, we all will now know that this guide does NOT work
for the gameboy version. So, besides the fact that this guide should only be in
the PC section for LOTR, there is another IMPORTANT note at the top. Sheesh, I
sure did add a lot to this update... maybe it's because there is nearly nothing
left... either that or because I was too lazy to click like 3 whole buttons to
update it onto the internet. Oh well.

Version 2.1
Added another site with my permission, therefore forcing me to realize that
this will never be done. I also fixed a few stupid spelling and grammar errors
I found, but I bet there are more somewhere in here.

Version 2.2
Got another person in the Credits section for giving me the idea for an enemies
list. And that would also mean I have an enemies list now. And I added a little
more to Boss Battle: Balrog in the Mines of Moria section. I also fixed two
tiny spelling errors. So there.

Version 2.3
Added a tip to the Barrow-Downs section and added the person, who sent the tip,
into the Credits section. I finally just got sick of finding little spelling
and grammar errors so I threw my whole guide into a spell check and fixed them
all!! MUAHAHAHA!!... but somehow... I still believe there are some left...

Version 2.4
Added that you have a torch to fight off the Nazgul in the Boss Battle: The
Nazgul under Weathertop. Dawn Arbuckle was the person who sent in that I should
say that, so I did and in turn now have another person in the Credits section.

Version 2.5
First of all, I changed the name of the "Sites That Have My Permission" section
to "Allowed To Post My Guide". Second of all, a magazine named PCGAMER UK asked
if they could put my guide in. So now they're down in the newly named section
and you now know why I changed the name.

My Thoughts on the Game

This game is pretty awesome, a little short, but good nonetheless. It's
pretty cool how you get to see the world from a hobbit's point of view, and to
cut enemies to shreds as Aragorn, and to blast away orcs with the awesome
powers of Gandalf. The finishing moves are really cool (stand over a knocked
down enemy and press the attack button[Aragorn and Gandalf only]). Personally,
my favorite character to play as was definitely Aragorn. Gandalf was ok except
he couldn't use his sword very well and Frodo couldn't do jack to orcs. Overall
I give the game an A. Good job game developers.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is my first walkthrough, so yeah it probably will seem pretty bad to some
of you.
If you find anything amiss, inaccurate, not understandable, or if you know
something like a secret or something that's really cool about the game that I
haven't already put, please e-mail me at: crazysbeej@hotmail.com
Please don't send anything that has absolutely nothing to do with the game or
this walkthrough. And please refrain from sending anything that puts down,
makes fun of, or is just mean about me. I don't care if you yell about the
walkthrough, just don't start "throwing rocks" at me, if you catch my meaning.
I created this walkthrough because of how much I love the books by JRR Tolkien.
This walkthrough isn't anything special but it was fun to create and it just
might help whoever needs help in the game. My walkthrough may not be as good as
other walkthroughs on this game but I don't care.
MAKE SURE YOUR QUESTIONS AREN'T ALREADY ANSWERED IN THE WALKTHROUGH!!!!
Also make sure you have something like "Lord of the Rings guide" in the subject
area of your e-mail. If you do not, I most likely will NOT open it.

When you start a new game, it will show you a brief clip explaining the
background of the One Ring. As the clip goes on it gradually goes through
what's been going on after the battle for the Ring. Eventually it will show
Frodo holding the Ring and someone will knock on his door. The clip is pretty
informative and fun to watch so go ahead and watch it.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-*-*-*-*-*-*

*-*-*-*-*-*-
Character: Frodo

Weaponry: Walking Stick, Rocks

Enemies: Wolves, Nazgul(RingWraiths)

Main Quests: Find the Bag End deed, Sell Bag End to Lobelia Sackville-Baggins,
Get the key to Bag End, Ring the warning bell, Get the One Ring from Bag End,
Take the Bag End key to Gaffer Gamgee at Number 3 Bagshot Row, Take the One
Ring to Rivendell, Meet Merry, Pippin and Sam at Farmer Maggot's Farm, Avoid
being detected be the Dark Riders!

What I think about the level: This level is very easy. The only part you should
have any trouble at all on is avoiding the Nazgul. But this level's cool
because you get to explore where Frodo lives. Remember to collect mushrooms!


After the clip, Gandalf will walk into the room and talk to Frodo about the
Ring that Bilbo gave him. Gandalf will go over a little bit more of the
history of the Ring and even toss it in the fire so Frodo can read the writing
on it. If you look closely at the window behind Gandalf, you can see Sam
listening in on their conversation. I find that quite funny. Well, eventually
Gandalf will pull Sam in through the window and force him to go with Frodo
when Gandalf returns from his trip. Gandalf tells Frodo he must leave for
Rivendell. Frodo comes up with the idea to buy a house in Crickhollow and sell
Bag End to divert any attention of him going to Rivendell. The next cutscene
is of a scroll with a picture of Bag End on it. At this point it tells you that
Gandalf has not returned and Frodo must sell Bag End and leave.

Yippee! Now you finally get to play and you're given three quests. You're not
allowed to leave Bag End without finding the key and the deed. So from where
you are currently standing, turn left and head out of the room and into the
hall. There will be another archway in front of you so head through that. Keep
going and head through the archway on the wall to your right. Now open up the
chest in that room and, TADAH!!!, you got the deed. Leave the room, turn left
into the hallway you were in before, turn left again and you should see
something sparkling. It's the key. Grab it and turn right and out the door of
Bag End. Now that you're outside, Sam should be standing right in front of you.
Talk to him then turn left. Walk, or run, along the fence until you find an
opening in it and walk through that. Head down the path until you reach a tree,
a well, and a pig pen. Walk past those. Keep going along the path and stay to
the left of it. Within a few seconds you should reach Sandyman's Mill. You'll
know it when you see it. Near the mill there is a big, stone bridge... it's not
very hard to find. Cross the bridge then head along the path for a little while
until the screen goes black, then comes back in full color and states at the
top, "The Shire-Bywater". Keep going along the same path until you see a large
arch. Go through it and you'll be in Bywater. Now you get to look for the much
despised Lobelia. From the arch, go straight for a little while. You should
pass a hobbit, a maypole, and a large bell in a stone courtyard with yellow
drape like things around it. Stop just after you pass the courtyard and turn
left. You should see a hobbit with green overalls and a pink shirt. Talk to her
and she'll tell you to ring the bell. Turn around, hop up the stairs to the
bell, switch to first-person mode and hit the bell with a rock. Go back to
Lobelia and talk to her to sell her Bag End. Now you get to actually see the
One Ring. Go all the way back to Bag End and enter its front door. Turn the
corner at the end of the hallway after you enter and go into the room at the
far end of the hallway. Look inside the chest to obtain the Ring. Exit Bag End
and it will be night. Turn right and walk through your garden. You will see a
scene where Gaffer is talking to a Ringwraith. Once he's done talking, you
will talk to Gaffer after the Ringwraith leaves. As soon as you are done
talking to Gaffer, run straight from where you are facing and hide behind a
fence and a tree in front of Gaffer's house. Whatever you do, never use the
Ring at this part!!! Never never never!!!!! Wait until the Nazgul has passed
you and has turned the corner heading down the road to Bag End. This part may
