Help needed from anybody who has played...

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

How in the FUCK do you get past The Watcher in The Water? You know, that big, tentacle whipping thing. It's fuckin impossible to pass, I've tried a shitload of times and only succeeded in cutting off one of the three tentacles.

 

Any help would be appreciated

Block the tentacles when they attack (try to get all three parried at one time, the others will still attack). When they are parried they'll stand up in the air. Chop one off and when the Watcher's head pokes out of the water, fire an arrow at it. It'll take a bit of timing but once you get it down it's easy. Balin's Tomb is a bit tougher however....

Thanks dude, I managed to get by it, I'm now at Helms Deep, defending the breached wall......fuckin tough shit.

[Conspiracy_Victim]

Hehe Yeah Breached Wall is a fun one. Wait until the last level it makes the Wall looks fairly simple by comparison.

 

BTW: Gimli sucks. He may be able to take a hit but you better hope you don't have to hit a moving target at any distance. His little hatchets suck!

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

See, I like Gimli for one reason: One hit with his axe usually gets the job done. Whereas Aragon and Legolas are faster, their weapons are also weaker. Gimli's only real weakness is his speed, because if you miss a swing with the axe, you're fucked.

 

I still haven't beaten the breached wall yet, though. I always get to the part where you have to bust up the catpault AND defend the door then die.

 

Hey, anybody know who the secret character is in the game? My money is on Gandalf, but I'd rather it be Eomer or Faramir or somebody........

[Conspiracy_Victim]

I gotta go with my boy Aragorn. Good speed, decent hitting power and his arrows will hit what you aim at about 90% of the time. Plus I like his instant kill combos the best and at the end his flame sword ability will REALLY help on the "secret" level.

 

When you get to Breached wall and past the first few waves of the suiciders, try firing arrows at the orcs as they run past you. Assumming a couple/few do (they will, trust me) kill anything coming after you first, then start firing arrows and taking the occassional swipe at the group around the door until the next wave of bombers runs up. Kill all but one or two, then wait until he/it gets near the door. Hit him with an arrow and blow him up. He'll take out most of the group around the door and do a fraction of the damage to the door. When the catapult arrives knock out the crossbowers and Uruk-Hai in front of the catapult with your distance weapons QUICKLY, then starting hitting the different sections of the catapults with your biggest FIERCE combo. It'll be close but you'll make it. Once you knock out the catapult the level's done.

 

Like I said, get used to protecting the door because the last level is a lot like it, only with more shit flying at you and a bigger target they're going for.

 

As to the secret character, it ain't Gandalf. And it ain't Boromir either (that's who I wanted it to be despite the whole death issue).

 

All in all it's a damn cool game (EA did a tremendous job mixing the movie footage into the game) but awful short so they could shoehorn in all the extras.

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

Ok..........so who the hell is the secret character?

[Conspiracy_Victim]

Well he's not REALLY a secret character.

 

*game spoiler*

 

 

 

It's just Isildur from the intro level. He's got basically the same stuff as Aragorn and is level 10 when you unlock him. Doesn't really offer anything new, just a different character model.

[Guest Lord of The Curry]

I dig........thanks.
