                      Level 20: Emyn Muil - East Path 
------------------------------- 
Difficulty: Medium 
Quick Hint: Go through the gaps 
Starting Location: NW corner 
Ending Location: SW corner 
Shrines: NW corner (Forge) 
                      Detailed Guide: 
                        Run toward Sam: 
                      Cutscene- 
                        San: We're three jumps from the old river, Frodo, and
                        right in the middle of a wasteland. 
                        Frodo: This is Emyn Muil, Sam. Sheer cliffs and razor
                        sharp rocks. It doesn't get any easier from here. 
                        Sam: Are you sure there isn't an easier way 'round? 
                        Frodo: Over the waterfall you mean? 
                        Sam: I guess not... Lead the way, Mister Frodo. 
                      Sam will run away. Ignore him, go as far right as you can.
                        Go down now, until you reach a really thin gap. Go through
                        that really thin gap and go left. Continue going left
                        until you have to make a choice between going up or down.
                        Go up with if you want to use a shrine (Forge), but
                        beware, there are several Crebain above also. To beat the
                        level, go down from here. You will pass through a short
                        diagonal passage. Go down from here until you reach a
                        wall. Turn right and follow along the wall. Keep following
                        and running along this wall/edge even when it ends. Do
                        this until you reach a tower with Crebain resting on it.
                        Go down just a little, then go left to the end of the
                        level. 
                      ---------------------------------------------------------- 
                      Level 21: Emyn Muil - Razor Hills 
                        --------------------------------- 
                        Difficulty: Medium 
                        Quick Hint: Explore 
                        Starting Location: NE corner 
                        Ending Location: W edge 
                        Shrines: None 
                      Detailed Guide: 
                        One way to get through this level is to follow the wall
                        below your starting point all the way until you reach
                        a cutscene. You have to walk along the wall no matter
                        what it changes to or if it changes direction. You will
                        start off going down, then you'll go left, and near the
                        end you'll be going diagonally. Eventually you'll go
                        through a passage and see some orcs: 
                      Cutscene- 
                        Orc: My blade can cut through a tree in one blow. 
                        Orc 2: How about an elf, boss? 
                      From the end of the passage, go left until you reach the
                        far western edge of the level. Go down until you reach
                        the end of the level by going left. 
                      ---------------------------------------------------------- 
                      Level 22: Emyn Muil - Ravine 
                        ---------------------------- 
                        Difficulty: Medium 
                        Quick Hint: Explore 
                        Starting Location: SE corner 
                        Ending Location: NW corner 
                        Shrines: None 
                      Detailed Guide: 
                        Go northwest from the beginning of the level. Keep going
                        in that direction until you hit a slanted wall (like: / ).
                        Follow the wall you hit to the left until you reach what 
                        appears to be an intersection of passages. Take the top
                        route. Start going up. Keep going up (running around any
                        barriers or rubble) until you reach the end of the level. 
                      ---------------------------------------------------------- 
                      Level 23: Emyn Muil - Plateau 
                        ----------------------------- 
                        Difficulty: Medium 
                        Quick Hint: Enter the cave 
                        Starting Location: SW corner 
                        Ending Location: SE corner 
                        Shrines: None 
                      Detailed Guide: 
                        Begin this level by following the stone path. There are
                        two short segments of path that you should follow. Go up
                        through a fairly large gap. Run right, running around rocks
                        and rubble, until you reach the eastern edge of the level.
                        Follow the wall down a little. Look around in this area
                        and utilize your directional arrow: You are looking for
                        a cave that you can enter. The cave is also a spawning
                        point for enemies. Once you find the cave and enter the
                        cave, go right through the thin passage. You will face
                        several enemies before you finally reach the exit.

                      Level 24: Emyn Muil - Gully 
                        --------------------------- 
                        Difficulty: Medium 
                        Quick Hint: Find and follow the path 
                        Starting Location: NW corner 
                        Ending Location: SE corner 
                        Shrines: None 
                      Detailed Guide: 
                        This level begins with a cutscene: 
                      Cutscene- 
                        Frodo: This is almost unbearable, Sam. I no longer remember
                        when the world was a quiet place. 
                        Sam: I hope Aragorn and the others are safe. 
                        Frodo: As do I... Sam, can you smell that rotten, earthy
                        stink? I think we're near a swamp. 
                        Sam: I can. It'll be no fun sloggin' through tat, but it
                        means we're headed in the right direction. 
                        Frodo: Right... we'd better get moving. 
                        Sam: The sooner the better, Mister Frodo. 
                      Ok, now read carefully. From right below Sam, run exactly
                        southeast. You should run into a barrel. Destroy that,
                        and when you continue you'll run into another barrel that
                        explodes. Continue in this direction until you reach a
                        stone path. Follow the path to the end of the level (go
                        down) The path is stone and easy to follow. 
                      ---------------------------------------------------------- 
                      Special Note: The upcoming levels are some of the hardest
                        levels that any character can have because of the amount
                        of Crebain in the marsh levels. Tread carefully, or else
                        ringwraiths will attack your character frequently.

                        Shrines: None 
                      Detailed Guide: 
                        Run southeast. You will encounter... Gollum!: 
                      Cutscene- 
                        Sam: Look out, Mister Frodo! 
                        Frodo: You've been sneaking around long enough, Gollum. 
                        Sam: Tie him up! 
                        Gollum: No no, nice Hobbitses... that would hurt Smeagol. 
                        Frodo: You haven't earned our trust so you're staying put. 
                        Gollum: Oh no master... Smeagol serves the Precious...and
                        the Master of the Precious. Never do any harm! 
                        Sam: He's a liar! 
                        Frodo: Hold, Sam! He may be of some help! 
                        Frodo: Gollum, do you know the way to Mordor? 
                        Gollum: Mordor? Yes... Nasty tower, Nasty eye... but we
                        wonders. What does Hobbitses want with Mordor? 
                        Frodo: Take us there Gollum and we will not harm you. 
                        Gollum: Yes, Gollum! Yes, I will show you the way! Look! 
                        (Screen scrolls to end of the level in southeast corner) 
                      Start following the path down. It splits to north and
                        south. Go onto the northern path. Break off from the main
                        path onto the smaller path to the northeast of you. Use
                        the blue pool you reach (exp bonus). The path will split
                        again, north and south. Take the north path again. It will
                        wrap around and connect you with Sam: 
                      Cutscene- 
                        Sam: Frodo, is this wise? 
                        Frodo: I don't know Sam. Stay on your guard. 
                      Exit the level.

                      Level 26: Dead Marshes - North Marshes 
                        -------------------------------------- 
                        Difficulty: Medium 
                        Quick Hint: Follow the paths 
                        Starting Location: NW corner 
                        Ending Location: SE corner 
                        Shrines: None 
                      Detailed Guide: 
                        Beware, you want to follow the path, but you are going to
                        encounter several Crebain. Tread carefully. There has to
                        be several dozen Crebain all over this level. Use knife
                        throw frequently to kill them before they can fly away.
                        Follow the path until it splits into north and south paths.
                        Take the southern path. You'll pass a cave that generates
                        wildmen. When the path splits again shortly after the
                        cave, take the southern path again. When the path
                        disappears, keep going down until you reach another path
                        that leads to the end of the level.
