Easy skill building
To level up skills more quickly have Elegost in your party and use the "Arrows of Sleep" skill to immobilize the enemy, Then cast Berethor's leadership skill "Fellowship Grace" to regenerate any AP points used, then build skills with each of the other party members using skills that are nonevasive to the enemy making sure not to awaken them. Kill any enemies that are immune to the sleep spell.
Note: This works more effectively if you have Elegost's passive skills "Sleep Volley" which will affect all enemy's that are not immune to sleep spells, and Elegost's passive skill "Lingering Sleep" which will extend the effect of the sleep spell for the remainder of the battle.
Ancient Elfstones
This code is primarily for people who have already beat the game at least once. If you want to start out a new game, there is a very effective way to boost your hit points, armor values, action points, and protection. First, start a new game in Eregion, then when you are near the Elven outpost save your game. Next, complete the Evil Mode of Pelennor Fields. After you successfully finish this, save the items you have acquired onto the new game save. You will now have Ancient elfstones, which cause your values to go up about 200 points (example: if you have 500 HP and you equip an Ancient Elfstone of Health Enhancement, your HP will be about 700 or so.) This technique is very helpful, especially during the early portions of the two Moria chapters.
The Eye of Sauron
When you are fighting the Eye of Sauron, it is important to know quite a few things. It is best to have your party consist of Berethor, Idrial, and Eaoden. Berethor should have the following skills: Double Attack and Gondor Rampage. Idrial should have this skill: Elven Rage. Eaoden should have learned these: Frenzy, Drain Health, and Rampage of Helm. It is possible to beat Sauron without these talents, but it's a whole lot easier if you have them. To actually beat the Eye, use a Morgul Decay on him. This will completely remove his armor and make it possible to beat him in about two hits from Berethor. When you get to use Eaoden, hit Sauron with either Horse Lord Skewer, Rampage of Helm, or a three-hit combo. When you use Idrial, use either Elven Rage or use her to restore health and action points. When you get to Berethor, have him do a Double Attack, then use Gondor Rampage on Sauron. The Eye should be dead by the time Berethor has hit him twice with the five-hit move. If he isn't, just keep repeating these steps over and over again.
Transferring Evil Mode treasure
Any treasure acquired in Evil Mode can be transferred to a regular saved game.
Building skills
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.
Good sword for Berethor
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.
Restore HP and AP
If you are low on HP or AP, find a save point. Save your game and both your HP and AP will be completely refilled.
Defeating the Witch King
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.
Everlasting health
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.
Beating the Balrog
Beating this moster is very hard when you do not know how to beat him. He has about 70,000 HP and when he attacks, the attack can occasionally take off your AP and massive amounts of HP. Gandalf and three other players of your selection are with you. To beat him, stalk up on Elf Medicines (brings back a downed player) and keep Gandalf alive at all costs, use your other players to use the Elf Medicines, Kingsfoils, and Lambas potions to return health and AP to other players. I would recomend using Gandalf and the Elf Girl to attack it, use other charactors to use potions. WAtch out for Balrog attacks like Pilar of Fire and Inferno Breath, they not only take life off you, but also AP.
