The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
Playstation 2
Mega Shield Combo:
This may take a while to do but it's extremely effective and powerful. To do this you should have Hadhod, Berethor and Idrial on your team. Make sure Idrial has Aura of Valor and Haste of the Elves. Make sure Berethor has Last Gasp, Company Might, Company Valor and at least Ecillion Wrath or Rage. Lastly, make sure Hadhod knows Damaging Shield, Mountain Shield, and Devastating Shield.
First use Idrials Haste of the Elves on everyone else. Then use Aura of the Valor on everyone else. Use Mountain shield A.S.A.P! (It's like Stone Shield but stronger and protects all part members at once). Then use Devasting shield followed by Damaging Shield. Last, use Berethors Last gasp, Company Valor, and Company Might. Now you are practically unstoppable.
Your three members will not take any damage from Moutain Shield and the attacker will take massive damage from Damaging and Devasting Shield. You can slowly destroy your enemies with Ecillion Wrath or Rage. Any ability effects lost you should recast.
OBVIOUS WARNING: DO NOT SWITCH OUT MEMBERS, THE PEOPLE YOU SWITCH TO DO NOT HAVE THE SKILLS OR EFFECTS THE PERSON YOU SWITCHED OUT HAD!
Get a Great Weapon for Morwen:
Use Morwen's steal ability to steal from Grima Wormtounge in the city of Snowbourne. Your reward is a pair of 3rd Age Rohirric Gold Mortising Axes, which do an incredible amount of damage.
Unlimited Supply of Experience and Skills:
There are certain parts of the game where battles spawn infinitely. The first is very near the beginning of the game, just after the quest to kill three Wild Men bands. There is a passage that goes straight south, and a battle with two orcs will spawn there. If you simply stand still after that battle, in a few seconds another two orcs will spawn for battle, and this will continue indefinitely. There are at least two other places in the game that this occurs.
Handhod's Mithrail-Scale Hauberk:
Do three random battles in the Minas Tirith throne room.
Strong Starting Sword for Berethor:
To replay the game starting with a very good sword for Berethor, do the evil mode of Osgiliath on your first game and save it on your new game. By doing this, you will get the Sword Of Isildur, which has a 200+ damage rating. At the beginning of the game, you can give at least 2,000 damage points from a normal hit with this weapon.
