Evil mode
Complete a chapter to unlock the ability to replay it in Evil mode. This is an easy way to gain weapons, armor, and Elfstones.
Restore HP and AP
When low on HP or AP, find a save point. Save your game and both your HP and AP will be completely refilled.
Transferring Evil Mode treasure
Any treasure acquired in Evil Mode can be transferred to a regular saved game.
Gaining new moves
When fighting groups of Orcs, use Elegost's Sleeping Arrows, after getting Elegost's passive skill that effects all foes with them. Then, use the Double Attack skill with Berethor and his three hit attack. Just before killing the last Orc, use everyone's Spirit skill to gain SP points. This will allow you to gain new moves that would normally take many fights to gain.
Recommended weapons
Throughout the game there will be many different weapons; swords, spears, bows, axes. The better weapons for Berethor would be the First Age Mithril lon sword of the Valar. For Eaoden, the Second Age Silver Spear of the Queen of Lorien. For Hadhod, use his Second Age Dwarven Mithril piercing axe.
Easy wins
Do not use the normal attack. With Hadhod and Idrial use Spirit Powers. With Elegost, use Ranged Craft. With Berethor, use Sword Craft. With Morwen, use Thief Craft. With Eaoden, use Spear Craft. You will only get new skills if you use Spirit Powers, Sword Craft, Ranger Craft, Thief Craft, or Spear Craft. You will not get new skills by using the normal attack. When you get all skills in the crafts listed, use Axe Craft with Hadhod, Sword Craft with Idrial, Leadership with Berethor, Bow Craft with Elegost, and Dual-Axe Craft with Morwen. Eaoden may have two different kinds of skills. If he does, train the other. If he does not, change him with one of the five others.
Easier Evil mode
If you are having trouble completing Evil mode, save the game in Eregion, then exit and go into Evil mode. The difficulty is greatly reduced.
Everlasting health
Once your Elf healer gains the Valor move that presets whoever you choose with an instant revival when ever you die, use it at the beginning of each battle on her first, then on everyone else. If you maintain this so that no enemies can truly kill you, you will almost always be the victor.
Berethor: Good sword
To start the the game with a very good sword for Berethor (the first character you start with), do the evil mode of Osgiliath and save it on an early 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.
Ancient Elfstones
Complete the game, defeat Sauron, and have 100% of the game completed. Then, enter evil mode with this game. After this, choose Pelennor Fields to fight at. Your first battle is Berethor, Eaoden, and Hadhod vs. the Mumakil. Defeat all three of them to go to the Battle Of The Witch-King, then after him, Sauron. Complete all three to gain four Ancient Elfstones.
Morwen: Better weapons
Use her Steal Item ability on unique enemies (i.e. Bosses) such as Grima Wormtounge. This will give you weapons not found anywhere else. Note: Some of the Bosses have the same weapons.
Unlimited items
Got to Eregion after you get the Craft Item Stone. Then, find an Archer. Cast Fellowship Grace with Belethor and the Haste Of The Elves ability with Idrial on whoever has the Craft Item Stone equipped. You will never run out of AP, and the character creating items goes very fast, producing a lot of items. This is especially useful for the Elf Medicine item. Also, you can level up character abilities that do not damage foes.
