Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Hints
How To Destroy The Towers At Mines Tireth
When you see trolls pushing towers go to the catapult (the catapult is up some stairs and sometimes two men are standing at the bottom.) order the men to fire the catapult twice then the first tower will fall. For the second tower you go to the other side of the wall and shoot the tower with your staff and it will fall. (I don't remember how many times you have to shoot it.) Next you go to the catapult and fire 2 times the you go to the other side of the wall and if the tower hasn't reached the wall shoot it with your staff. If it has reached the wall kill the orcs then before any more come shoot it with your staff

How to Beat the Black Riders In the Black Gate
The easiest way to beat the black riders is to shoot at then with arrows. It is sooo much harder to fight them in hand to hand combat

Get the Southern Gate Troll to Hold Door
To get the troll on the southern gate to hold the doors is to first don't kill it (duh). Then when you want to release the catapults and then go up the stairs in the blown-up tower. Then once you have taken care of all the trolls and the elephant thingy. try to move the gate. the troll is holding it shut. so if you want to get rid of him/it. Just go over to those round things (which are boiling hot pots of oil/lava!) then press Z on them and they will pour out on it. You will have to do this a number of times (and don't worry the vats of lava magically refill), but it takes time because he keeps on running back and looking at you like any dumb troll would. finally once you've killed it, you can open the gate.
(note one of your helpers sometimes will eventually kill him but not all the time so it doesn't always work).

Deafeat Gollum
To defeat Gollum you have to knock him off the cliff. Stand on the edge and wait for him to come near you. When he jumps to kick you get out of the way. You can use either Fierce Attack(Y) or Physical Attack(A). Its easier if you tap the both at the same time. Hit Gollum until he is almost off. Hit him again with the Fierce Attack. He falls but hold onto the top slam you sword(R) onto Gollums hands to make him drop. You then see a video of Gollum climbing back up! When he falls him health bar goes down a bit. Keep doing this until he loses all his health. Gollum then finally falls in to the fires of Mount Doom

How To Beat The Crack Of Doom
This is the hardest level in the game its also the last. Here's how you beat it, after a while Gollum will scream, this means he's about to jump at you, make sure your near the edge when he does it. Now make sure your infront of him and his back is facing the edge now hit A he'll start to stretch hit Y or X and he'll fall off, now hit R and you'll take life off of him. Repeat 6 to 8 times to beat.

Gain Extra Experience For Gandalf
At Helm's Deep when you get to the catapults fire only 2 of em and then fight to get more experience. The 3rd will fire automatically after sometime. You should be able to get to level 3.

How to Beat Shelob
you should get the poison sword and then once you get to shelob you will see her tying up frodo. so parry her claw thingies, then once she moves back hold y then let go when she comes back at u. after you stab her eye she climbs up the wall.
about six or seven spiders come flying down so kill those shelob will come back and keep reapting this until you cut off her arm then about 15 spiders come down but don't worry only 1 or 2 attack u at once. keep doing the parry over and over again until u kill shelob.

Beating the Dead King
You first have to choose a character I recommend Aragorn. When he comes out of the ground stand back then attack. when he attacks u got to pary. He should attack 4 times. He attacks 3 times then 1 last time. Do it a couple of times then he sets out some dudes. Kill them then hit him again. Eventually he'll shoot wind that hurts u. Don't go in front of the 1st rock. Go behind a further back rock. Come out and shoot but when he raises his arms get back. Then fight again and u are done. Oh and after that run out of there!!!!!!!!!

How to Beat Pellennor Fields
Ok this is the toughest level in the game. Use Legolas for his good bow skills and speed.
First kill 60 guys. Then you will get a checkpoint. You'll have to kill an elephant while your up there. Go to the side where it has a catapult. Shoot it with the catapult and then shoot it with arrows. It will explode then you will have to kill another elephant. Go to the other side and do the same thing. Then it shows Merry and Aowen being knocked down by the witch king. Run to the other side of the mountain and load up your arrows. Let the arrow go after a while but not too long or he'll fly away. Then you'll have to kill another elephant and then the witch king again. Make sure the witch king doesn't kill Merry and Aowen or you will fail the mission at the checkpoint again. It will keep on doing this until you die, Merry and Aowen die, or the witch king dies
