4. Artifact Guide 
                      Artifacts are special items that can be found throughout
                        your adventures through middle earth. There are a total
                        of eight artifacts in the game and no one character can
                        find all of them alone. Collecting all of the artifacts
                        unlocks the special multiplayer option "Misty Mountains". 
                      Artifact Listing 
                        ---------------- 
                      Balin's Book - Gandalf 
                        Found in Balin's Tomb (where the Cave Troll is). 
                      Sauron's Ashes - Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, Frodo
                        Found in a tower at Helm's Deep. In order to find it, you
                        have to open all of the chests on the Northeast wall.
                        After doing this, a chest will appear by the doorway.
                        Frodo doesn't visit Helm's Deep, but he can find the Ashes
                        in a Mordor or Emyn Muil map. 
                      Troll Tusk - Frodo 
                        In Moria (just after the bridge of Kaza-dum), the Troll
                        Tusk can be found. 
                      Bilbo's Map - Aragon, Frodo, Legolas 
                        Found in a Dimril Dale map. An elf will give you a quest
                        to recover a lost item from some orcs. Two orcs will be
                        guarding a chest. One of the orcs will drop the artifact
                        when killed. 
                        Optional stragety: 
                        On a cliff near the end of the correct map, a wounded elf
                        informs you that some orcs that stole an artifact. Once
                        he talks to you go back to the middle of the map, and you
                        will see two strong Orcs with two blades each, gaurding a
                        chest. Kill them both and one of them will drop the
                        artifact. If you're having trouble finding the elf, work
                        backwards. From the level exit, go north west until you
                        see a cliff. Go north to actually get onto the cliff, and
                        then go south down the cliff. He'll be down there. 
                      Narsil, the Sword of Isildur - Frodo 
                        Found in Lothlorien at the bottom of the area. 
                      Judkins Scrolls - Eowyn only 
                        In one area a woman will ask you to clear town hall in
                        the center of the area. Instead of immediately going in,
                        you can find the artifact below the town hall. The map's
                        actual name is "Village Square" (to see what level you are
                        on, save the game or press select, and select the
                        objectives choice). 
                      Chain Link of Morgul - Aragorn (Legolas?) 
                        Near the end of a map in Rohan a bright blue troll (or
                        greenish, like a Jungle Troll - Lord Ragnoroks) will
                        appear and start running away. You can't harm it, but
                        you can follow it. It will lead you to a cave, and there
                        the chainmail will magically appear. 
                        NOTE: You are on the correct map if you start between
                        three bushes (one big on the right and two smaller ones
                        on the left). The path to the left should be blocked by
                        rocks. If you don't start on this map, you will NOT
                        find the chainmail. 
                      Moria's Lamp - Legolas 
                        In the area where Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli meet the
                        wizard Gandalf, Moria's Lamp is hidden in a secret area
                        at the top of the area. To get to this hidden area, you
                        have to go on a path to the right of the screen and go
                        up, then left, and then you will leave the area and go to
                        another area where you can easily get the lamp.                        |
