To beat the Uruk-hai boss, dodge his flaming arrows by hiding behind one of the statues. He goes through patterns of three shots then takes a couple of seconds to reload, and at that moment you have to step out from behind the statue and fire an arrow at him, then jump back behind the statue again. Other orcs will come to help him as you do this. Once you do that a couple of times, he will drop the bow and pick up a metal sword. Once you kill them, it will be just u and the boss. He will run after you, so just run behind one of the statues. Then he will take a swing and get his sword stuck. Take your bow and arrow and shoot him while he is stuck.

Best characters for missions
I think these are the best characters to choose for every mission:
Gates of moria: Gimli
Balin's tomb: Aragorn
Amon Hen: Legolas
Fagorn forest: Gimli
Plains of Rohan: Aragorn
Westfold: Legolas
The deeping wall: Aragorn
Breched wall: Aragorn
Honburg Courtyard: Gimli
Funny Glitch
At Balin's tomb,make sure that your character is Gimli. Then, right when Gimli is about to climb up the ledge, hold Y so that Gimli's axe sets on fire (you need the upgrade though). Then, while it shows the clip of Gimli climing up the ledge his axe will be on fire.
The eye speaks to you
Ok, I know, this sounds cool and its very easy. Just kill yourself on one level and you will be in front of the eye. Wait a long time until you hear it speak to you.
Note: it is very low so hear it good.
How to defeat the kraken
When you are in the level Gates of moria eventually you run into a kraken. Heres how you beat it; It will attack you so you must deffend yourself (presing the B button), then it will raise a tentecual and put the tentucal back in the water. That tentucal is the one he will raise first. Go up by the same tentecal and get ready to attack is; when the kraken raises the tentecal attack it(by presing the A button). once you do that for awhile it will eventually die.
Cave Troll in Moria
After the Fellowship is ambushed by Orcs and you defeat some of them whomever you're playing as will be pursued by the Troll, after giving him several blows your character will jump onto a ledge and be followed by the Troll. Shoot arrows at him
and hide behind pillars when he swings his chain at you. Some orcs will be on the ledge as well, defeat them and get posions which increase your health, just keep shooting that Cave Troll and duck behind pillars and you'll get him!
In Amon-Hen
It takes four arrows to kill Uruk-Hai, whereas with regular Orcs it only takes two.
For the Watcher in the Water
When you face the Watcher in the Water it will lift three tentacles out of the water and swipe at you, Parry (press B)! Then after a second or so approach one of the tentacles and cut it off (press A). The Watcher will appear, shoot an arrow at it
(hold L, press A and release A), do these steps 3 - 4 times and you will have defeated him.
Easy level
The easiest way to level up is to repeatedly enable the "Add 1000 experience points" code. Each time you level up, you will hear a noise along with the sword.
Easy "Excellent" rank
When you can play levels over again, use this trick. It will take several attempts, depending on your skill. In all of the levels (excluding Weathertop, Amon Hen, Plains of Rohan, Breached Wall, and the Helms Deep), you can complete the level
with an "Excellent" rank, just by killing one or two Orcs, and getting "Excellent". Kill a few Orcs at the beginning of the level (five or more), getting an "Excellent" rank. Then, run near to the end of the level. For example, in the Gates of Moria
level kill off the first few Orcs with your Linked Move until the intermission sequence with the arrow and the Orc and Gimli. Then, run to the part where you need to kill the Watcher, and do not kill any Orcs on the way, unless you have to. No orcs will follow you to the Boss part after you have started it. Kill the Watcher. When your kills get counted, as you will see, you will have more "Excellent" kills.
Putting out fires
Many parts of the game will require you to put out a fire or save people in order to move on to the next area. Look for a barrel in the area of the fire. Smash it with a speed attack and water will flow out, extinguishing any fires it can.
Defeating Lurtz (as Aragorn)
Lurts starts by shooting arrows. Deflect them with your sword then fire a charged arrow at him. Keep repeating this until the intermission sequence where he grabs a sword from the ground begins. When he charges you, kill the minions that
appear and try to hide behind one of the marble statues surrounding the arena. He will stab it, stick in, then be open for an attack. Use the Y thrust. Normally, two shots can be dealt and sometimes a third if you are lucky. Note: This is on the
easy and normal difficulty setting. Also, when he rips his sword from the marble statue, it disintegrates, dropping health, arrows or other useful items.
Defeating the Orc Overseer riding the Warg
Take care of the Wargs and riders that are present when the battle starts. The Wargs charge, but just step out of the way. Fierce Attack as they pass and stop. Soon, you will be facing just the Orc Overseer on his Warg, who deflects every arrow with his sword. Close attacks are similarly foiled by the Warg biting you, lifting you into the air, and the Overseer slashes at you. He also charges, and the Warg swerves to hit you, and succeeds virtually every time, so take care of him as soon as possible. The Overseer regularly calls another Orc and Warg into the battle. Dispatch it in the same way as the others, but try to stay close to the Overseer. When you kill the summoned Orc and Warg, the Overseer's Warg rears up. When it does, run in behind it and Fierce Attack the Orc. You can usually get three good hits on him this way. After the third hit, he will slash you, go back and wait for the next Orc and Warg to be summoned. Dispatch them and wait for the Overseer's Warg to rear again. Repeat this three to four times to defeat him.
When you first encounter the Orc Overseer, he will have approximately four other Warg Riders with him. Dispatch these using any means necessary (projectile attacks work well), then get ready for the Overseer himself. Do not get too close or the Warg will bite you and the Orc riding it will slash you. Stay a safe distance away and the Overseer will charge. Parry the charge and you will receive little, if any, damage. Successfully parry a second charge and the Warg will back away and rear up on its hind legs. Move in and use any of the attack combinations to cause damage. Occasionally the Overseer will call in another Warg to help. Fire projectiles at this "helper" to eliminate it. Continue to parry the Overseer's
charges. It will rear up after every second charge, at which time you can move in and eliminate him.
When you first see the Orc Overeseer, he will have about four other allies with him. These are easy to kill. Do so, and you will face the Orc Overseer. You cannot shoot him, because he deflects your arrows/axes, and you cannot attack him because his Warg will bite and lift you into the air for the Orc Overseer to slash. He will charge at you. Parry those attacks. After about two charges, he will rear his Warg. Instead of going behind at this point, shoot it with an axe/arrow. It will fall and whine. Then, move in and slash the overseer with fierce attacks, combos, etc. This takes about half of his life away. He will send in a warg ally, which is useful. Whenever you kill him, he will drop arrows or life. Repeat this process until you win.
Defeating Trolls
In the levels with Trolls, you can kill them easily without getting hit once. Run up to a Troll after it has thrown a log at you or tried to hit you. Press Y once only, then run away. Do not run too far. Stay close, but not too close for it to hit you. Wait until it takes a swipe at you, then run back at it and press Y once again. Repeat this until it is dead.
