How does the Elf Medicine work better with Idrial compared to other characters?
| MarioCube |

When you use an Elf Medicine with Idrial, your health will be completely restored. For all other characters, your health will only be restored halfway.
Of course, it's even smarter to use 'Power of the Valar' as Idrial; then all your action points will also be restored.

How can I deal more damage to strong opponents in The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age?
| MarioCube |

Having trouble defeating Trolls or other heavily armored creatures in The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age? Try using the item 'Morgul Decay'. This will make all the opponent's armor disappear, allowing you to quickly eliminate them with powerful attacks like Berethor's Ecthelion Wrath or Eoden's Rohirrim Rage.
Secrets:
How can you become almost invincible in Helms Deep?
| MarioCube |
| 9 jaar |
This is a tip to become (almost) invincible in The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. It's a great way to get through the terribly difficult Helms Deep quite easily. The only way it can fail is if Idrial can no longer use this attack due to, for example, being hit by a Silenced Arrow from an Uruk-Hai, or being silenced by Grima Wormtong.
First of all, make sure Idrial knows 'Aura of the Valar'.
As her fifth Spirit Attack, Idrial learns the very strong attack Aura of the Valar. When she uses this on a teammate or herself, they are automatically revived if they are killed. Further explanation: Let's say Berethor has been given Aura of the Valar by Idrial. At some point, Berethor is killed by (for example) a goblin. Thanks to Aura of the Valar, he immediately comes back to life, with full HP and AP, and it's his turn right away.
In tough battles, like Helms Deep, it's wise to first 'bless' herself, then the other teammates with this attack. If someone dies, they will be revived and it will be their turn immediately. If you make sure each teammate has 'Aura of the Valar', you can almost never lose.
Secrets:
What is Evil Mode in The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age and how do you unlock it?
| MarioCube |
| 9 jaar |
Evil Mode is an option to replay certain battles you've done with your heroes, but this time facing off against the forces of evil. Here, you can battle with orcs and goblins, as well as Nazguls and even the Balrog. To unlock Evil Mode, you need to complete each part of the game. This happens step by step. Every time you finish a part of the game with your heroes (for example, West-Moria), you unlock that same part in Evil Mode of The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age.
Secrets:
What's the quickest way to learn specific attacks?
| MarioCube |
| 9 jaar |
First of all, make sure that Idrial has Drain Inspiration or Morwen has Steal Action. These attacks can steal Action Points from the opponents.
Some opponents only have spirit attacks, like the Moria Goblin Shadow Chieftains in Moria. Once it's Idrial's turn, she should use Drain Inspiration on this Chieftain (or Morwen's Steal Action). When all the Action Points of this monster have been taken away, it can no longer attack and will keep 'skipping' its turn. This ensures that it's only your turn! Now, only use attacks that don't cause damage, such as Berethor's Leadership attacks, Idrial's Spirit attacks, Hadhod's Spirit attacks, Eoden's Spirit attacks, Morwen's Steal attacks, or Morwen's Battle Haste. You can keep using these attacks and will never be attacked. Unfortunately, you might run out of action points from time to time... Use Idrial's Drain Inspiration, Morwen's Steal Action, Berethor's Fellowship Grace, or simply a Lembas Item as a solution for this. In a short time, you will have very strong attacks with which you can defeat the stronger monsters.
Good luck, warriors!

How can I obtain a powerful sword for Berethor in The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age?

By doing this, you will acquire the sword Isildur, which has a damage class of 200+. At the beginning of the game, you can deal at least 2,000 damage on a regular hit with this weapon.
Secrets:
How can I quickly learn how to attack in The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age?

For example, if you want to learn Orc Bane with Berethor, go to a previous level and use 'Sword Craft' for all your attacks.
Good luck!

After they have learned the attack, you can transfer the stone to another character, allowing everyone to learn those attacks. It's very convenient and nice that you can use it as often as you like!

When you're nearing the end of The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age and you've mostly learned all the passive skills, make sure not to use your perfect mode in tough battles.
