10. Gandalf Character Guide
Gandalf Walkthrough (1)
Explanation
-----------
Here is a walkthrough for the character Gandalf. 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 actual walkthrough:
----------------------------------------------------------
Opening Scene:
Theoden: Curse these evil times, Gandalf. The last days of
my house are near...
Gandalf: This is Saruman's doing, Theoden, not yours. His
rage is potent, yes - but you can defeat him.
Theoden: But our strength is gone! My best soldiers have
gone with my nephew, Eomer.
Gandalf: True, their faith in you was diminishing. But
there is still, time to set it right. The throne
has been restored!
Theoden: Yes. Your coming signals a change. Was it luck or
fortune that lead you to my hall?
Gandalf: Perhaps a little of both...
----------------------------------------------------------
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:
This level starts with a continuation of the opening
scene:
Cutscene-
Gandalf: After a long counsel with Elrond, our party set
out eastward from Rivendell. In my heart I knew
some danger awaited me... but I knew not what
shape it would take.
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. Where you see a strip of snow, turn to the
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: None
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. 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: NW corner (Forge)
Detailed Guide:
Follow the path down and to the right until you see rocks
falling down. Backtrack a little and go down (you have to
weave through a few rocks), and go right 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.
Continue foward 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 your friends to enter the
Mines of Moria!
Cutscene-
Frodo: What could these words mean, Gandalf?
Gandalf: 'Speak friend and enter.' It's very simple - if
you are a friend, speak the password and the
doors will open.
Gimli: Do you know the password?
Gandalf: 'Annon edhellen, edro hi ammen! Fennas nogothrim,
lasto beth lamen!'
Frodo: Wait, Gandalf. It's a riddle. What is the Elvish
word for 'Friend'?
Gandalf: 'Mellon'.
(Door opens)
(Camera pans to creature in water)
----------------------------------------------------------
*Screenshot from the movie* - It shows the creature in
the water threathening the group as they flee into the
Mines of Moria.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 5: Moria - West Hall
--------------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: Find the secret door, then hit the lever!
Starting Location: Bottom
Ending Location: SW corner
Shrines: None
Detailed Guide:
Immediately upon entering this level you will see Aragorn
run toward the left. Ignore him and go to the right until
you meet Frodo:
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 find the Old Stairs.
Let us explore these chambers together. Be wary.
(Frodo runs away toward the right)
Follow Frodo to the right and go up the stairs. After
going up the stairs, go straight up. Some rocks will fall
to the right of you but if you go up enough Gandalf will
find a secret door. Enter the secret door. You have a
choice to go right or left. Go left until you see a door.
Go up through that door and continue up until you can turn
to the left. When you can, go left until you see a switch
(a lever) in the ground. Hit that switch and backtrack
back to the secret door. From there, go left. You'll pass
a giant dwarven statue, a circular floor design, and one
hero creature before you finally reach a wall. When you
reach the wall, go down and keep going down through the
door until you see some stairs. Go down those stairs to
beat the level.
----------------------------------------------------------
Level 6: Moria - Smithy
-----------------------
Difficulty: Medium
Quick Hint: None
Starting Location: ---
Ending Location: NE corner
Shrines: NE corner (Forge)
Detailed Guide:
The level begins with Gandalf thinking about what he must
do:
Cutscene-
Gandalf: Frodo has passed through here. I must hurry.
From the beginning of the level go to the right. Go right
until you are forced to go down. Continue going down,
down two stairs, and continue going down until you can't
go any farther down. Then go left and you should see a
open door to the north. Right before entering the room,
go left and hit the switch. Enter that room and you should
encounter a cave troll and several enemies. Kill them and
hit the switch in the northeast corner of the room. Exit
the room and backtrack a little until you see a pillar. Go
southeast from the pillar and go down through the open
door. Go down, then turn right when you have to. When you
hit a wall. Go straight up. You will pass the shrine (a
Forge), which you will probably want to use. From the
shrine go to the northwest until you reach an open door.
Go up through it and hit the switch you will see to your
right. Go through the newly opened door, and continue up
until you reach a wall. Go to the right until you can't.
Now, go down and you should see some stairs down, which is
the end of the level.
