Duplicate items
In multi-player mode, have one player give an item to the other. Then, have the receiving player save the while the sender does not. Next, have both players quit. If done correctly, both players should now have all the items.
Hidden Quest
When you reach Anduin River, Corsair Camp with Aragorn, Legolas, or Gimli there will be a woman looking for her brother. To find, her go to the top of the screen when you first enter the level. Find her brother and lead him back to her to get an item.
Secret areas
There is a secret cave containing a Rune Forge and a Rangers' Hollow in the level of tunnels where you see Shelob (but cannot yet fight her). It is located at the far south in the center, in one of four cave entrances. The others are unusable.
Additional Runes
At Ithilien, the Rune given by the old man in the hidden village will be different each time you play; if you save, quit, then play again. This is true of all of the Runes that are given in various levels throughout the game.
Deagol's Skull artifact
As Frodo in the Slopes Of Mount Doom level, go up the nearest set of several stairs and kill the standard bearer at the top. Open the chest. Walk back to the beginning and go east until you reach Gollum. Open the chest to find the artifact, Deagol's Skull.
Feather Of Gwaihir artifact
With Gandalf at the level where you have to light the two beacons, go through and light the east beacon. Then, go back to the starting level and go all the way to the upper left. The feather will be there.
Galadriel's Lock artifact
In the North Ithilian level, kill all the Orcs. You may need to go back and forth a lot to find all of them. As soon as you kill all the Orcs, go to the ledge with the waterfall then go right. You will see about thirty butterflies flocking the tree at the dead end. The artifact is near the tree. Do not enter the waterfall or you will have to start the process again.
Saruman's Palantir artifact
When you face Saruman with Gandalf, go to the top of the map. Break the vases and open the chest to find it.
Shelob's Stinger artifact
After you defeat Shelob as Sam, go straight up to find a barrel. Smash the barrel to find the stinger. You can also find this artifact in multi-player more. Note: If you find an artifact in multi-player mode, both players will get it.
There And Back Again artifact
After you save the girl's brother in the Corsair Camp, return to the beginning of the level. A group of Orcs will be mobbing a woman. Save the woman by killing the Orcs. She will take you to a barn and open the door. Walk through the barn. Talk to the little boy. He will tell you he lost many possessions, including the book. Smash all the barrels in the area to find the artifact.
Respawning enemies warning
When taking Frodo's path, in the level before you have to face Shelob and fight her as Sam, there is a cave guarded by two orange-garbed Orcs. That cave contains treasure without any enemies, but when you exit, you will find that you have to go through the level all over again, killing every enemy you killed before entering the cave. The waterfall cave in Ithilien is like that as well. When you exit it, you will find that every enemy you killed has come alive again and you have to play the level all over again. Note: Some of the Health Pools act as triggers for the appearance of new enemies. For example, in the Anduin level before you reach the Corsair ship, there is a health pool near a ruined tower. When you drink from it, you trigger the appearance of a cave troll and a number of Orcs.
Making sure Uruk-Hai are dead
Listen carefully when an Uruk-Hai falls down. You should hear it scream. If you do not hear it, then it is not dead.
Defeating Denethor
To defeat Denethor, you need to block his torches. The easiest way to defeat him is to use the Shield skill and stand in front of him. Do not stand too close or he will knock you down and immediately destroy your shield. Another way to defeat him is to use the Blinding Aura to stun the Gondorian soldiers. This is difficult because you need to position the soldiers directly in front of Denethor. You can only defeat him by blocking his torches; do not waste your Spirit Points.
Defeating the Witch King
The quickest and easiest way to killing the Witch King is to lead him into the fire. When he is directly on it, hit him once. Do not worry if his armor resisted the blow. The Kitch King will use a power surge and the fire will drain his life. Repeat this until his life meter is almost gone, then begin using your sword to attack him. After you defeat him, go to the man who was killed at the beginning of the level. Search him to get the Witch King's Crown, which is an Artifact.
