Once you get the Shadowcraft Elfstone, put it on Idrial. From there, get Crippling, followed by Fear. Maxing it out is not necessary but is fun. From there, go to Eregion and to that small little gully-like area that has a high build up rate for battles. Just wait for the battles, then kill all but one enemy. Have Idrial fear it, then just max out all the desired skills. Keep the enemy feared every time his face gets close to the top of the roster on the upper right-hand screen. You can even have everyone else retreat but her then just max out her skills using Drain Inspiration, and eventually Leech Inspiration, from her Swordcraft set. You can even maximize item crafting and Lightcraft Elfstones if desired. After she is maxed out, move the Shadowcraft Stone to another character. Get fear on that one and continue the same strategy.

When fighting groups of Orcs, use Elegost's Sleeping Arrows, after getting Elegost's passive skill that effects all foes with them. Then, use the Double Attack skill with Berethor and his three hit attack. Just before killing the last Orc, use everyone's Spirit skill to gain SP points. This will allow you to gain new moves that would normally take many fights to gain.

Do not use the normal attack. With Hadhod and Idrial use Spirit Powers. With Elegost, use Ranged Craft. With Berethor, use Sword Craft. With Morwen, use Thief Craft. With Eaoden, use Spear Craft. You will only get new skills if you use Spirit Powers, Sword Craft, Ranger Craft, Thief Craft, or Spear Craft. You will not get new skills by using the normal attack. When you get all skills in the crafts listed, use Axe Craft with Hadhod, Sword Craft with Idrial, Leadership with Berethor, Bow Craft with Elegost, and Dual-Axe Craft with Morwen. Eaoden may have two different kinds of skills. If he does, train the other. If he does not, change him with one of the five others.

Get some of the best skills very early in the game, just practice. In the first level, find an enemy respawn point near a save point. Once there, keep attacking until you run out of AP and save the game. Your AP should have refilled, as well as your health. Keep doing this, and after a few hours you will get the special move from Berethor that can hit an enemy five times in a row. Note: This works for all characters, and not just Berethor.

A good way to get some very good weapons and armor is to start a new file and save it. Go to Evil mode and finish its levels (preferably the high level ones). When prompted for which file to save the items to, select your new file. When you load the game, equip the weapons and armor and it will make the game a lot easier.

Throughout the game there will be many different weapons; swords, spears, bows, axes. The better weapons for Berethor would be the First Age Mithril lon sword of the Valar. For Eaoden, the Second Age Silver Spear of the Queen of Lorien. For Hadhod, use his Second Age Dwarven Mithril piercing axe.

Use Steal Item from the Witch King at Pelennor Fields to get the Third Age Rohirric Silver Battle Ax (base: x90 +9 per level, +8 Str, -2 Dex, +3 Spd).

Use her Steal Item ability on unique enemies (i.e. Bosses) such as Grima Wormtounge. This will give you weapons not found anywhere else. Note: Some of the Bosses have the same weapons.

To start the the game with a very good sword for Berethor (the first character you start with), do the evil mode of Osgiliath and save it on an early game. By doing this, you will get the Sword Of Isildur, which has a 200+ damage rating. At the beginning of the game, you can give at least 2,000 damage points from a normal hit with this weapon.

Any treasure acquired in Evil Mode can be transferred to a regular saved game.

The Goblins may have a difficult time if The Fellowship focuses on taking them out. However, the Watcher in the Water should be in for a solid win after a few blasts of Wreaking Spout.

When you are opening all the gates, start at the farthest left you can go until you can go up. Then, get that gate. Go to where it opened. Watch out, as you will get into a lot of fights in Rohan. Just continue from there.

In the first fight you must keep the Chieftain alive and focus on destroying The Fellowship with Foul Sleep. Next, on the bridge, focus on Elegost. Have your archers pick off the rest long after your frontline is gone. With Grima Wormtounge you can destroy them with Black Speech and help from your Uruk-Hai allies. With Sharku you have to use your attacks to finish them fast.

The Mumakil should have enough HP to survive an onslaught of attacks. When you have the offensive, wipe their AP with sweeping tusks. When reduced to regular melee they have no chance. The Witch King is easier because any health they chip off him is recouped with Devour Flesh, Finally there is Sauron. Open with Paralysis Of Light then peck them off one by one with Darkest Fear.

When you go to the sewers, try to complete all tasks before saving Idrial. If this is not done and you go back to finish the tasks you did not complete after finishing the mission, Idrial will not be able to be used anymore for the rest of the game. There is no way to bring her back.

When you are the Witch King in Evil mode, put Fear on everyone except Berethor. He is immune to it. Take out Berethor, because he is the only one who can attack. Then, just kill Elegost, Gandalf, and Eaoden.

You will experience a surrounding fight from the outside. Focus on using Stun Blades and Thunder Hammer to knock the heroes off the battle queue and win, Another Troll fight and then you will control Easterlings and are on the good side of disturbing sleep. On the Witch King, use Fear and take Berethor first. Then, constantly cast Fear and destroy the rest of The Fellowship. Even Gandalf cannot withstand Fear, Use it, and they are all under your thumb.

In the first fight you have unlimited resources to throw at them, as long as your ladders stay alive. Your Beserkers are crucial. Use Stagger Foe to knock the heroes of the battle queue. Even Legolas can be subdued entirely. Use the same strategy for the fight with Gimli, except you have now a secret weapon to protect. Even Gimli cant stand against your suicidal Uruk-Hai and will fall to three blasts at the most. However, being only two rounds, Aragorn escapes your grasp.

Eregion is perhaps the toughest area because your Orcs are delicate. Hang in there until you get to the Nazgul round, which should be on for a solid win.

The Troll fights are easy if you take out the light caricatures and move up the line with Massive Swing. It costs so little that you can use it every turn. Then for the Goblins, the key to victory is in your Shadow Cheiftans' Dark Renewal ability. Playing the Balrog is fun if you experiment with your lesser attacks. However, if you really need to do damage, use Pillar of Wrath. It is an instant kill on anyone except for Gandalf, even if they are at full health.

Perhaps the most difficult fight of all is the one with Aranel as the guest character. His Arrow Flurry can heavily damage your group. Use Power Of The Pits on your captains and hang in there. Use the same strategy on second fight. In the battle with you as the Dominant Warg, use Stunning Bite and never let them on the battle queue.

When fighting enemies with strong attacks, use a move that will stun the enemy whenever they are about to attack. By doing this, they will not be able to attack you.

To defeat the Witch King at the Pelennor Fields, make sure that you have Hadhod's Second Age Dwarven Mithril Piercing Axe and the Dwarven Mithril Helm. When you face the Witch King, use these attacks: Berethor's Stunning Strike and Ectehlion Wrath, Hadhod's Mountain Rage, and Eaoden's Enraging Blow and Rohirrim Rage. The Witch King has 200,562 HP and 59,098 AP.

On the battle of The Dark Lord Sauron, use Morgul Decay just like was done on the Witch King. The Dark Lord knows Berethor is strong. He will probably use Darkest Fear on him, then he will not be able to battle for a while. Use Elven Rage and it will do somewhere from 16,000 to 19,000 damage if it is a critical hit. Do not use Elegost. He misses often when you fight the Dark Lord. Try Eaoden, but his move Drain Health still only does 4,000 HP. Use Hadhod and kept using Cleaving Wound.

If you use Elf Medicine, try and use it with Idrial. If this is done, it will give full health instead of half.

When using an item that heals or improves anything below full health, (for example, Kingsfoil), the amount healed or improved depends on your Spirit Power Score. Chose one character (Idrail recommended) to have the highest Spirit Score, and with her spirit powers she will become your "White Mage". Note: This rule only works in battle; when you are outside of battle, the character you are using it on is actually the one using it.

Got to Eregion after you get the Craft Item Stone. Then, find an Archer. Cast Fellowship Grace with Belethor and the Haste Of The Elves ability with Idrial on whoever has the Craft Item Stone equipped. You will never run out of AP, and the character creating items goes very fast, producing a lot of items. This is especially useful for the Elf Medicine item. Also, you can level up character abilities that do not damage foes.

Once your Elf healer gains the Valor move that presets whoever you choose with an instant revival when ever you die, use it at the beginning of each battle on her first, then on everyone else. If you maintain this so that no enemies can truly kill you, you will almost always be the victor.

If you are having trouble completing Evil mode, save the game in Eregion, then exit and go into Evil mode. The difficulty is greatly reduced.

Use Stun, Sleep, and Fear attacks on whoever is up next on the attack queue (top right with the character pictures). Focus attacks on one character. If it is an attack that hits them all, then focus your attacks on the one who has the greatest damage. Go for lighter characters in this order: Idrial, Morwen, or Elegost, then Berethor (if the situation uses Fear, cast it and take Berethor first, being that he is immune to it) or Eaoden, and finally Hadhod or battle guest.

There are certain parts of the game where battles spawn infinitely. The first is very near the beginning of the game, just after the quest to kill three Wild Men bands. There is a passage that goes straight south, and a battle with two orcs will spawn there. If you simply stand still after that battle, in a few seconds another two orcs will spawn for battle, and this will continue indefinitely. There are at least two other places in the game that this occurs.

After beating Osgiliath, travel back there. Idrial will be removed from your party until you reach a save point near the end of the Pelennor Fields due to a glitch from the Osgiliath 'Save Idrial' quest. Developer's mistake or someone's sick idea of a joke? We may never know.

To replay the game starting with a very good sword for Berethor (the first character you start with), do the evil mode of Osgiliath on your first game and save it on your new game. By doing this, you will get the Sword Of Isildur, which has a 200+ damage rating. At the beginning of the game, you can give at least 2,000 damage points from a normal hit with this weapon.
