Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Walkthrough for PlayStation 2 Game Name: Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Format: PlayStation 2 Submitted By: - Prologue: Level 1 - Fairly straightforward. You start off as Isildur, quite simply use Triangle (fierce attack) to break enemys shields and quick attack (cross) to kill shieldless enemys. Use square to block. Be careful of falling rock, this should be the only problem. Weathertop: Level 2 - Again, fairly easy. Playing as Aragorn you will notice that he is holding a flaming torch. Use your fierce attack (triangle) to set fire to the Ringwraiths, be warned, if you get knocked down or hit the flame will go out and you must use fierce attack on the nearby fire to relight it. NOTE: Only fierce attack will work and the torch must be on fire otherwise no damage will be caused. A cutscene will cut in showing Frodo putting on the ring. Continue to defend him until another cutscene comes in showing him taking it off. You will then have to fight two ringwraiths at the same time, the best tatic is to strike one then the other to prevent them from getting to close to the hurt Frodo. Gates of moria: Level 3 - Here will be the first time you have the choice over which character you choose. Remember the skills your character has and try to use them to your advantage. Gimli, is very strong although slow where as Legolas is fast although fairly weak (remember Legolas' best skill is firing arrows, this will help throughout the game). Aragorn is a mix of the two being both strong and quick. You will start the level at the top of a hill starting with a cutscene of Gandalf and the rest of the fellowship. Follow the path down the hill where you will be attacked by orcs. Defeat these and carry on. (You will find as you carry on down the hill orcs will burst throught the rock face so stay on your guard.) Check each of the openings in the rock from where the orcs came for any pickups such as health which are often in wooden crates. As you carry on a cutscene will cut in showing an orc attacking Gimli from behind. After this you will be attacked by orcs and archers. Kill the orcs and block the arrows using square. (The best way to kill an archer is using your ranged weapon. For Aragorn and Legolas this will be a bow and arrows, for Gimli it will be axes. Your ranged weapon will start off very weak however you can upgrade later. Hold down L1 to use your ranged weapon and cross to fire. The longer you hold down cross the more powerful it will be when you fire it) Carry on through the level following the path. At the end of the level you will face the giant squid seen in the fellowship of the ring. The best tatic for this is to wait for its tentacles to come out of the water. Keeping blocking using square and wait for it to strike, (it will usually attack with more than one tentacle to be ready for more than one attack) once it has struck and you have successfully blocked its tentacle will wave around in the air. Walk into the water and slash it, this will force the squid to surface from the water where you should shoot it with your ranged weapon. Keep doing this until the level is complete. Balins tomb: Level 4 - as you will see orcs will keep coming from the main door, the best strategy is to fight off the attacking orcs closest to you with your normal weapon then shoot the rest as they come through the door. Some will make through in which case use your normal weapon (sword, axe) to finish them off. Eventually a cut scene will play showing a troll entering the room, use your ranged weapon on it until its health reaches 3/4 when another cut scene will play showing your character climbing onto a nearby ledge. At this part of the level the troll will use a chain to attack you, be careful when you first start out as an orc will attack you from the left. Hide behind the pillars will the troll attacks then use your ranged weapon to shoot it, repeat the process until complete. Amon hen: Level 5 - You will start off at the top of a hill (seen in the fellowship of the ring) fight off the attacking Urukhai and follow the path. The important part of this mission is killing all the enemys, when you are sure there are no more to be killed in that area then carry on following the path. Watch out for archers who will fire small balls which will burst into flames after a short period of time. After you have killed all the urukhai you will face the boss. Use square to block and keep firing your ranged weapon at him, eventually a cutscene will play showing him picking up a sword. Let him follow you and hide behind a stone statue, you will swing with his sword which will get caught in the stone, take this chance to attack him. You can only do him damage when he is caught on the stone. NOTE: be careful of attacking urukhai who will attack from the side. Fangorn forrest: Level 6 - again fairly straight forward, follow the path throughout the level. The key to defeating Trolls is wait for them to attack them quickly run up to them slash once with triangle and move before the strike back. Plains of Rohan: Level 7 - Defeat any enemys you come accross, speed is important here so be as quick as you can. Fight the first two urukhai and walk through the archway, after the cutscene fight the other enemys and wait for Gangalf who will break down the door. Go inside and slash the barrell which will put out the fire. You must save all the villagers in this level so look to put out fires by slashing barrells. Also if anything gets in the way use fierce attack to break it down quickly. The Westfold: Level 8 - Follow the path killing the enemys in the way. Use you ranged weapon to blow up the explosives dotted around the level, use them to your advantage and try to take some enemys with the explosives by waiting until they get close enough. Gap of Rohan: Level 9 - a short and simple level, defeat the two wolves at the start. Slash the barrells to gain extra pickups and break down the follow wood to go through the burning house. Once of the other side you will be attacked again, defeat these wolves and you will be onto the boss. You can only hurt him when the wolf rears on its back legs which will normally happen after it attacks 3 times. Watch out for other wolves which will sometimes attack from a small slip lane to the right. The Deeping wall: Level 10 - the key here is to knock down the ladders as they come up. You will see a small image in the top right corner of the screen showing red blips and a coloured line. The red dots represent ladders which are in place against the wall, use circle to knock them down. The coloured line shows enemys, if the line is red and blinking defeat any enemys in the area and quickly knock down as many ladders as you can. smash barrells for pickups. Breached wall: Level 11 - Fairly hard, the mission is best completed as either Legolas or Aragorn. The objective is to protect a door situated behind you. Use your ranged weapons to defeat the explosive urukhai from a distance. Try and use their explosives against other enemys, try to take out the explosive enemys first as they will inflict the most damage on the door. Towards the end a catapult will be brought into the area. Defeat the nearby enemys to allow clear access to it, there will be a wooden section at the front and on each side, you must attack these sections until they break. Holding down triangle is an effective move on the catapult however it will have had to be purchased before hand. Hornburg Courtyard: Level 12 - Very very difficult, the objective is to protect the door from being breached. My advice is to stay just away from the door so it is just off the screen, then enemys will attack you instead, fight through them (using combos is the best way to do this) eventually a cutscene will play showing another fellowship member in trouble. Go up the steps behind you and follow along the wall to help them out. when finished go back to the door, there will be some urukhai attacking it, finish them off and then stand slightly away from the door again with it being just off the screen. Eventually a voice will shout "ARCHERS ON THE WALL" go back up the steps and walk along the wall picking off the archers which are towards the back firing arrows. you will find you can pick them off easily from one spot however it is better advised to follow the wall along and pick them off that way. Once all the archers have been killed fight your way back to the door, keeping it slightly off screen. You will know when the level is nearly over as Two trolls will come into the courtyard, use your fierce attack to stop them but be careful of your health.
