Beat the Uruk-Hai boss
To beat the Uruk-hai boss, dodge his flaming arrows by hiding behind one of the statues. He goes through patterns of three shots then takes a couple of seconds to reload, and at that moment you have to step out from behind the statue and fire an arrow at him, then jump back behind the statue again. Other orcs will come to help him as you do this. Once you do that a couple of times, he will drop the bow and pick up a metal sword. Once you kill them, it will be just u and the boss. He will run after you, so just run behind one of the statues. Then he will take a swing and get his sword stuck. Take your bow and arrow and shoot him while he is stuck.

Defeating Lurtz (as Aragorn)
Lurts starts by shooting arrows. Deflect them with your sword then fire a charged arrow at him. Keep repeating this until the intermission sequence where he grabs a sword from the ground begins. When he charges you, kill the minions that
appear and try to hide behind one of the marble statues surrounding the arena. He will stab it, stick in, then be open for an attack. Use the Y thrust. Normally, two shots can be dealt and sometimes a third if you are lucky. Note: This is on the
easy and normal difficulty setting. Also, when he rips his sword from the marble statue, it disintegrates, dropping health, arrows or other useful items.
Defeating Trolls
In the levels with Trolls, you can kill them easily without getting hit once. Run up to a Troll after it has thrown a log at you or tried to hit you. Press Y once only, then run away. Do not run too far. Stay close, but not too close for it to hit you. Wait until it takes a swipe at you, then run back at it and press Y once again. Repeat this until it is dead.
Easy "Excellent" rank
When you can play levels over again, use this trick. It will take several attempts, depending on your skill. In all of the levels (excluding Weathertop, Amon Hen, Plains of Rohan, Breached Wall, and the Helms Deep), you can complete the level
with an "Excellent" rank, just by killing one or two Orcs, and getting "Excellent". Kill a few Orcs at the beginning of the level (five or more), getting an "Excellent" rank. Then, run near to the end of the level. For example, in the Gates of Moria
level kill off the first few Orcs with your Linked Move until the intermission sequence with the arrow and the Orc and Gimli. Then, run to the part where you need to kill the Watcher, and do not kill any Orcs on the way, unless you have to. No orcs will follow you to the Boss part after you have started it. Kill the Watcher. When your kills get counted, as you will see, you will have more "Excellent" kills.
Easy level
The easiest way to level up is to repeatedly enable the "Add 1000 experience points" code. Each time you level up, you will hear a noise along with the sword.
For the Watcher in the Water
When you face the Watcher in the Water it will lift three tentacles out of the water and swipe at you, Parry (press B)! Then after a second or so approach one of the tentacles and cut it off (press A). The Watcher will appear, shoot an arrow at it
(hold L, press A and release A), do these steps 3 - 4 times and you will have defeated him.
How to defeat the kraken
When you are in the level Gates of moria eventually you run into a kraken. Heres how you beat it; It will attack you so you must deffend yourself (presing the B button), then it will raise a tentecual and put the tentucal back in the water. That tentucal is the one he will raise first. Go up by the same tentecal and get ready to attack is; when the kraken raises the tentecal attack it(by presing the A button). once you do that for awhile it will eventually die.
In Amon-Hen
It takes four arrows to kill Uruk-Hai, whereas with regular Orcs it only takes two.

Putting out fires

Slow Motion
Pause the game and hold L+R, and press Y, X, A, B. The sound of a sword confirms correct code. Note: You have to beat the game in order for this cheat to work.
