9. Frodo Character Guide
Frodo Walkthrough (3)
Level 14: East Mountains - Dimril Dale
--------------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium - Lengthy
Quick Hint: Go East Young Man
Starting Location: SW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide: Walk up from the beginning of the level.
You will pass a tree sitting a large pool of water with a
butterfly circling the tree. Go down along the wall to the
right of this tree until you can go around it and start
going up. You can follow this wall to reach a shrine that
is located in the NE corner of this level, but that takes
a long time. If you decide to go the shrine, you can
easily reach the exit just by heading straight down. If
you don't want to reach the shrine, you still have to go
a long way to finish the level. From the wall near the
tree (outside the right wall), you have to go up until
you reach a wall. From there you have to turn left and
follow that wall. When the wall terminates you have to
continue going up. Weave through the rubble until you
reach even another wall. Go right, following the rubble
until it stops. From there you can go SE and down
until you reach the exit in the SE corner.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 15: East Mountains - West Woods
-------------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Go SE
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide: Be careful at the beginning of this level,
many crows are here. Upon entering the level start/begin
going down until you reach the lower boundary of the whole
level. From the bottom turn to the right. Go up when you
have to. You should now be in an area with a blue pool. Go
to the NW corner of this area and go up through the gap.
You'll want to turn to the right immediately unless you
want to reach a white pool that is directly to the north.
As you pass through a grassy passage between to ridges
spikes may pop out of the ground and damage you. If they
do, just keep moving southeast. Continue going southeast
until you reach an elf at the edge of a forest. A red pool
is a little ways above this area, and you can go to that
before you finish the level by talking to the elf, who is
standing beside Aragorn!:
Cutscene-
Elf: Halt stranger. You have come to the edge of our wood
uninvited.
Aragorn: Haldir of Lorien, I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn.
We must take shelter with the Lady of the Wood.
Haldir: Aragorn? It has been a long time since we last met.
If you wish to visit Lothlorien, walk softly and
with speed. Come!
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 16: Lothlorien - Lothlorien
---------------------------------
Difficulty: Extremely Easy
Quick Hint: Press A and read
Starting Location: NW corner
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: NW corner (Ent Pool)
Detailed Guide:
This level is extremely easy. It starts with Legolas
talking with Frodo:
Cutscene-
Legolas: Listen! The elves are singing a Lament for
Gandalf.
Frodo: What are they saying?
Legolas: It I cannot say, for the grief is still too near
to my heart... I must get some sleep.
Walk straight up until you reach the shrine (Ent Pool).
Use it. Go up and to the right of the shrine and cross
over the water with the bridge (the bridge looks like
circles laid on top of each other). Here, you will meet
Galadriel, the Lady of the Woods:
Cutscene-
Galadriel: The quest stands upon the edge of a knife.
Stray but a little and it will fail.
Frodo: I am frightened, Lady Galadriel.
Galadriel: Do not let this trouble you now. Tonight you
will sleep in peace... Welcome Frodo Baggins.
Frodo: Thank you, Lady of the Wood.

Level 17: Amon Hen - Slopes
---------------------------
Difficulty: Easy to Medium
Quick Hint:
Starting Location: W side
Ending Location: SE corner
Shrines: SE corner (Shrine)
Detailed Guide:
This level starts with Frodo thinking about his current
situation:
Cutscene-
Frodo: We floated in silence down the River Anduin until
we reached the shores of the ancient watchtower,
Amon Hen. The burden of the ring was on my mind at
all times... I was restless and I needed a place to
think.
Walk to the right along the wall of stones until you reach
a large wall of random rocks. Go down along the wall of
rocks until you see a gap to the right. Don't hit the
sack nearest to the gap because it releases three Crebain.
When you reach the gap, go to the right and start going up
along the side of the wall. Not counting the tree right by
the gap, turn to the right at the first tree. You should
see Boromir, waiting for you:
Cutscene-
Boromir: Frodo, none should wander here alone - you least
of all.
Frodo: What do you want, Boromir?
Boromir: Want?... Only to.. unburden you of your troubles.
Frodo, you suffer. I see it day by day.
Frodo: I must endure this alone. There is no other way.
(Frodo runs up the steps)
Boromir: Why do you recoil? I'm no thief! I ask only for
the strength to defend my people!
Frodo: Boromir, stay back!
Boromir: You'll lead the enemy to us - the ring should be
mine! Give it to me!
(Aragorn runs up)
Use the shrine you should be standing beside (it increases
experience!), then go to Aragorn:
Cutscene-
Aragorn: Frodo?
Frodo: The Ring has taken Boromir. Stay away!
Aragorn: Frodo, I swore to protect you.
Frodo: Can you protect me from yourself? I must go alone.
Aragorn: I would have gone with you to the end... go,
Frodo! Go now!
Go down the stairs you came up. Go left until you hit that
large wall of rocks. Go down along the side of the rocks
until you reach that gap. Go through the gap and run up
the left side of it until you reach the stone wall. Go
southwest from here, and just run along the western edge
of the level until you hit the exit.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 18: Amon Hen - Parth Galen South
--------------------------------------
Difficulty: Easy to Medium
Quick Hint: Follow the first wall
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: NW corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
Walk along the wall that you encounter first when entering
this level, wrapping around it and following along it no
matter what it changes to (water, rubble...). Eventually
you will begin going upwards and then turn left. This wall
will take you directly to the end of this level. This is
a long way to go but it is definately the easiest to
remember! Remember, keep running along side it, whatever
it changes to.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 19: Amon Hen - Nen Hithoel
--------------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Cross the bridge at least
Starting Location: SE corner
Ending Location: West edge
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
This is a boss level for Legolas and Aragorn. Unfortunately
for you, this isn't a boss level for Frodo. Darn. To beat
this level, start going diagonally up (northwest) from the
beginning of the level. You will pass through a gap between
two walls and eventually reach a bridge. Cross the bridge.
Go up after crossing the bridge, and keep going up until
you reach the very top of the level. Turn right and run
that direction until you reach the boats:
Cutscene-
Frodo: The Ring's influence is too much for men to bear...
I must go to Mordor alone.
(Sam runs up)
Sam: Mister Frodo! Wait!
Frodo: Stay back, Sam! I'm going to Mordor alone!
Sam: Of course you are... and I'm coming with you.
Frodo: Oh Sam, you stubborn fool... In truth, I'm glad
you're with me. Let's hurry!
