Hints, Tips & TricksMoria: Hidden locationWhen you are in the West Halls of Moria with any character, defeat the green Orc and go to the right. You will see a door. You can enter it and go to a different place.
Balin's Tomb: Defeating the TrollWhen you first enter this room, note the first doorway before you proceed to the actual tomb. When the Troll appears, run back to the doorway. You will see that there is a slanted area. Position yourself such that the troll is in that corner and move southwards so that he cannot move further in. From here you can kill him, even with your melee attacks. Alternately, run back to the first room you were in and use the attack through walls glitch to hack and slash until the Troll dies.
Uruk-HaiThe Uruk-Hai with the hammer falls forward when he really dies and backwards when it is not. Also you can check if he drops an item. He does so when he dies. However, sometimes corpses do not leave items.
Defeating RingwraithsWhen your corruption is at maximum (flashing eye), Ringwraiths will appear. However, they will only appear at the top of you. You can trap them by standing on a ledge and running to the top end before they appear. From there, you can kill them with ranged attacks or lure them to an open space one by one.
Defeating the BalrogWhen you are facing the Balrog, immediately go to the top left corner. Shove yourself in as far as possible. The Balrog will appear, hit the wall, and always miss you. Then, launch fireworks or Zaps at him. If you really want to kill him the old fashioned way, sit there while pressing B.
Legolas: Use Elvish bladesWhen playing as Legolas, lure an enemy to a box, crate, pot, etc. then press B as if to break it. However, be on one side of the box so that you can press B and not brake it. Then, just keep hitting your enemy until it dies.
Legolas: Use Overdraw quicklyFor those who use Overdraw with Legolas, use the following trick to eliminate the delay when he starts the attack. Press B (normal attack) then immediately before he shoots the arrow, press A (which should be set to Overdraw). You will hear the "whoosh" sound if done correctly To charge the Overdraw, hold A after pressing B.
Moving around quickerAlways keep a pair of sandals in your backpack. They usually come in handy. For example, if you find a forge, a shrine, or an Ent Pool, you will probably want to keep returning there to sell things. They are also useful when you want to run away from an enemy. In most shoes, boots, etc., you will move a lot slower than you would in sandals.
Recover healthPlay as Legolas with the skills where you can Meditate (stand still and recover hit points ) and Forest Friend (call hawks to distract and injure the foe). Use Meditate and Forest Friend at the same time and your hit points will recover twice as fast.
Easy spiritFind a place where Orcs, Trolls, Wargs, young Wargs, or Goblins cannot get you. For example, in the stone fence above the health pool when you are against the Fargon Troll (only the little Troll can get you). Then, stand still for about six to ten seconds.
Easy experienceGo to a level with a Boss. Kill it and save the game. Then, quit and load that game again. You will still have the experience when the game was saved. Keep doing this until you get the desired amount of experience.
Easy levels and gemsIf you are having too much difficulty passing a level, wait until you are about to die then save your game and quit. Restart that game and you will start back at the beginning with full health, full spirit, the experience you just gained, and all enemies are re-spawned for you to kill again. Repeat this several times to gain easy level ups, gems for buying power-ups and items, and to rack up kills in order to reach the 500 point skill increases.
Duplicate itemsIn multi-player mode, have player one gives item(s) to player two. Then, have player one quit the game without saving. When the screen says the that Game Boy Advance has lost the connection, have player two save the game and quit. Player one will still have the item(s), and player two will have the copied item(s).
