9. Frodo Character Guide
Frodo Walkthrough (1)
Explanation
-----------
Here is a walkthrough for the character Frodo. First it
says the level name, area name, and level number. I made
up some difficulty ratings (Very Easy to Very Hard). The
Quick Hint is for people who don't want to be babysitted
through the level. Starting Location and Ending Location
can help some confused players. Shrines will show where
shrines are (if there are any). The Detailed Guide is
only meant to get a person through the level, not collect
every single item.
The Walkthrough
---------------
Here is the actual walkthrough:
----------------------------------------------------------
Opening Scene-
Frodo: Sam... you're still awake? You should get some
rest.
Sam: I was thinking about Mordor, Mister Frodo... It's the
one place in Middle-earth I don't want to see, and
it's the one place we're trying to get to...
Frodo: And with each step closer, the Ring gets heavier.
Sam: Can you manage?
Frodo: I'm fine for now...
Sam: When we left Master Elrond, back in Rivendell, was
the ring so much a burden?
Frodo: Not like now. Back then, I had hope still - enough
hope for the whole of the Shire...
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 1: Caradhras - Foothills
------------------------------
Difficulty: Very Easy
Quick Hint: Follow the paths to the end
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
Continuation of opening scene:
Cutscene-
Frodo: Do you remember the mountains? The peak of
Caradhras... it seemed then to be the most
terrifying obstacle in the world.
This level starts off with your character in the upper
left hand corner. Start heading downward, killing the two
enemies you see and opening any sacks that you want too.
You will soon notice the Crebain, and you will want to
kill them to prevent getting corrupted. Continue following
the gravel path. It will continue taking you down, then
it will turn right. Eventually it will turn upwards Follow
the path up. It might look (because it might be snowing)
like it splits in two directions, and you want to go onto
the left path. It will go up until you see a sack. Turn
right, which will take you to a raised area. Continue
following the path, even when it switches to a different
type of path (which looks blue and paved). You can follow
this path all the way to the end. There will be a chest
along the side of the path and a red pool.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 2: Caradhras - Mountains
------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy
Quick Hint: When rocks fall another path opens
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SW corner
Shrines: Near Exit (Shrine)
Detailed Guide:
Start following the blue paved path. Kill all enemies you
see and continue following the path until you reach a
blocked wall of rocks. Try to remember where this spot is.
Start going straight up until you can't anymore. Turn to
the right and continue going right until you see rocks
dropping. Don't step into the rocks because you will get
hurt:
Cutscene-
Frodo: The path is blocked. I must find another way.
Turn and go back to the previously blocked area and it will
be cleared. Once again start following the path. If you
kept following the path you will pass in between two
raised areas and then you'll turn left where rocks will
begin falling again. Backtrack until you are able to go
left onto one of the raised areas. There is no path but
you only have to go as far to the left as you can. Go
down. A path should go left, which is the exit.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 3: Caradhras - Valley
---------------------------
Difficulty: Very Easy
Quick Hint: When rocks fall another path opens
Starting Location: NE corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: SE corner (Forge)
Detailed Guide:
Follow the path down and to the left until you see rocks
falling down. Backtrack a little and go down (you have to
weave through a few rocks), and go left until you reach
a new path of two groves in the ground in mud. Follow the
path down and to the right. Soon you will encounter a
hero creature which is a strikingly different color than
the others of it's type (it will be blue). It may be a
little hard to defeat it but most people should do it
with ease. After defeating him and his two aides, you
can exit by continuing traveling to the right.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 4: Caradhras - Moria Gate
-------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy
Quick Hint: Follow the paths to the end
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NE corner
Shrines: NW corner (Ent Pool)
Detailed Guide:
Start travelling up immediately. Follow the dirt, which
acts like a path. Turn left when the path splits. Follow
it until you see a river with a stone pebble path across
it. Cross the bridge and go up. There will be a chest,
a red pool, and a shrine. Do what you want then start
going right. There should soon be a cut scene with a
circle of Orcs:
Cutscene-
Orc: I'm hungry. Do we 'ave any Dwarf meat left?
Orc 2: I thinks there is some inside. Get some bits for me.
Go down there and defeat the Orcs and start travelling
Northeast. Don't step in the fire because it deals
damage to your character. Continue going to the right and
you will need to meet Gandalf:
Cutscene-
Gandalf: Ah! 'Ithildin'! This door mirrors only starlight
and moonlight.
Frodo: It is beautiful.
Gandalf: The inscription reads, "The Doors of the Durin,
Lord of Moria, Speak Friend and Enter"
Frodo: What does that mean?
Gandalf: It means if you are a friend, simply speak the
password and the doors will open.
Frodo: Do you know the password?
(Screen scrolls to large creature in water)
Frodo: Get back to the mines, Sam!

Level 5: Moria - West Hall
--------------------------
Difficulty: Easy
Quick Hint: Find the stairs
Starting Location: SW corner (Part 2: NW corner)
Ending Location: SE corner (Part 2: SW)
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
The level begins with a cutscene:
Cutscene-
Frodo: Moria... Had I known the dangers hidden there in
the Mines, I might have thought twice about leading
the Fellowship under the mountain...
Aragorn: Moria... Kingdom of the Dwarves. I'll scout ahead.
Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli run to the left. You want to
go right to meet with Gandalf:
Cutscene-
Frodo: Gandalf, what is this place?
Gandalf: Moria was one of the greatest kingdoms of the
Dwarves. But we must move quickly. Aragorn and
the others have scouted ahead to the Old Stairs.
Let us explore these chambers together. Be wary.
Go up the stairs to your right, go up a little, then turn
right. Rocks will begin falling and that will form a wall
of rocks behind you. Move on, run as far right as you can
then start going down until you pass through a gap. Go
southwest and exit this part of the level by going down
the stairs.
(Part 2)
The level continues at this point. If you were to quit
now, you would start back before you split up with your
group. Go down. When you reach a wall. Turn right. Start
going souteast with the passage. Keep going southeast
until you are forced to go right. Keep an eye of the
higher wall. Keep going right until you see a doorway
leading up. Go through the doorway into a little room.
Hit the switch in this tiny room (NE corner). Exit from
the room and turn right until you reach the eastern edge
of the level. Start going down, and keep going down until
you pass through a doorway. Go left from here. You will
pass through a room with a giant dwarven statue. Continue
going left. In the next room, you will encounter another
tough blue hero creature. After killing it, go left until
you reach the west edge of the level. Go down from here.
Once you go through a doorway, go southeast until you
reach the exit stairs.

Go to the right from the beginning of the level. Go down,
until you have gone down one flight of stairs. Hit the

along the wall to your left. Eventually you will reach a
tall rock. Walk around the rock and still go down until
you reach the very bottom of the level. Go left and up
until you see a door. Enter through that door. Inside the
room will be a Moria troll and several creatures. Kill all
of the enemies in the room, then hit the switch in the
upper right hand corner of the room. Exit the room and go
right until you hit a wall. Go northeast until you see a
doorway opening to the south. Go through the door and
turn to the right. Go right until you reach the east edge
