Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The
Unlimited Gold Coins
On the East Road just out of Hobbiton (past the woodsman who trades his dagger for pipeweed), on the ledge above the stumps that summon the elves is a house. Enter it and walk up to the bookcase. Press Action and a gold coin will appear. Leave the house and re-enter. Another gold coin will be there. Repeat this to get as many coins as needed.
Get Past the 2nd Hall Level
On the 2nd Hall level, where you play as Frodo and Gimli accompanies you, let Gimli hack the orcs at the beginning. When he's done slashing them, run across the floor and turn to your left. You will see a gap between two strips of floor. Jump
across it, and then jump across the other gap just ahead of the first one. A fallen piece of stone provides a huge ladder leading up to a ledge that an orc-archer is shooting from. Kill the orc, then head over to the blue piece of boulder. If you need to change your perspective, go ahead, but you need to push the boulder off the ledge. Another little cutscene will show the boulder come crashing down onto a narrow strip of floor that looks different from the other designs. Come back
down to where Gimli is, head over to the boulder, and push it onto a weird-looking square in the middle of the weird-looking strip. Another cutscene will show a door opening somewhere, and after this, you head across the bridges and pieces of floor until the door is reached. ( P.S. - Let Gimli cut up orcs all the way.)
Get Past the Fire Creature Level
When you have to beat the Balrog on the bridge, save the game. ( Trust me, you'll die at least 5 times.) When gameplay resumes, press R2 to bringup your inventory stash. If you need Miruvor, use it, but don't get stupid and waste it all. Then
select " Lightning " as your magic spell and go back to gameplay. Dodge the fiery circles the Bal- rog throws at you ( a little helpful tip: they go from left to right, left to right ), then cast the Lightning spell at the Balrog. A message will appear at the bottom of the screen saying to strike the Balrog with Glamdring while it's stunned. Do it, but run back as soon as the Balrog regains consciousness. After a few times, Aragorn will cry, " Gandalf, take this!" and you will receive a Miruvor. Repeat the stunning, attacking, and running back process until you cast down the Balrog but then fall into the abyss yourself ( only you'll win.)
Get Past the Smashing Tree Level
On the Smashing Tree level, run across the brook at the very beginning and you will find mushrooms. Then run up the side of the river until your Stealth Indicator goes yellow or red ( usually just yellow.) A short minifilm will play in which an evil tree sprinkles yellow stuff over Merry, Pippin and Sam, then gameplay resumes. When the tree tries to smash you, don't attack its trunk or it will kill Merry and Pippin. Attack the limbs when they try to smash you. The limbs will draw back with a weird noise. Note: Don't attack the limbs vigorously, or you'll lose health. Hit them one time with your walking stick, and then run.
Repeat this until another minifilm appears.
Get Past the 1st Forest Level
On the forest level where you must find Sam, Merry and Pippin, run ahead and eventually you will find a pile of rocks in your way. Run back to the gate and then run to the pile of rocks again. They will have disappeared by that time, at which point Frodo will remark about the forest having a mind of its own. From there on, kill the huge spiders with your walking stick, and when you hear a voice say " Hey, Frodo!" or " We're over here!", look around until you find one of the Hobbits.
Get Past the Dark Rider in Green Hill Country
To get past the Dark Rider in Green Hill Country, get behind a boulder and throw stones far away from you. Practice this technique until the Rider chases after the stones, then run across the Bridge to Maggot's farm and meet Merry, Pippin, and Sam.
Get Past the Wolves in Bywater
To get past the wolves in Bywater, wait until the nifty little minifilm of them howling passes and then put on the Ring. To do this, simply press R2 to bring up your inventory selection, then select the Ring. You will become invisible to the wolves until your purity becomes low. But by that time, the wolves will have lost sight of you, and you're free to go.
Get Past the Dark Riders in Hobbiton
This isn't a cheat, but it could help. When you have to get past the Dark Riders in Hobbiton, throw stones far away from yourself and they will chase after them. Run away when they are distracted. This works every time. Repeat this process until you reach the Bywater Bridge. Then throw stones in the direction of Sandyman's Mill until the Dark Rider chases them, and run over the bridge.
