STORY

“One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.”

In ancient days, the Elves created the magical Rings of Power.They gave these Rings
to the rulers of the Elves, Dwarves, and Men that they might heal the hurts of the
world. But the Dark Lord Sauron forged the One Ring to enslave the other Rings.

In a great battle, the Free Peoples of Middle-earth overthrew Lord Sauron, and he
lost his Ring. But now the Lord of the Rings has returned to his Dark Tower in
Mordor. And he needs only one thing to cover all the lands in a second darkness.
He needs the One Ring.

PLAYER CHARACTERS

The adventure of The Fellowship of the Ring is played from the perspective of three
alternating Fellowship members.The journey begins in the Shire with Frodo Baggins.
Along the way, the player’s character alternates between Frodo,Aragorn and Gandalf.

character.At times, the camera automatically provides the best view of the situation.

to control the position of the default camera around the character; moving the stick
forward or backward zooms the camera in and out.

camera. To activate and deactivate the first-person camera press the

F key. Use

THE STATUS BAR

The Status Bar is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. It is made up of
the health bar, the secondary status bar and the sneak indicator.

current health.When the bar is full, the player’s
character is at full health.As the character loses
health, the bar depletes.When the bar is
completely empty, the character dies and the
game returns to the Main Menu.

Secondary Bar

The far right bar has a different function for two of the three player characters.

Frodo – Purity Meter

The green and yellow bar indicates the amount of corruption Frodo has gained by
using the One Ring.When the bar is completely yellow, Frodo remains untainted by
the One Ring.When the corruption bar is completely green, Frodo is fully corrupt and
will perish.

detection by the enemy.When an enemy is near and Frodo is successfully sneaking, the

items shimmer so you can identify them. Some items spawn when objects are broken
or foes are defeated.

Picking Up Items

weapon or inventory list. (You can then use your inventory to select that item.) If
you pick up more than one of an item, it will appear in the inventory with a number
in the corner indicating the number of uses available. Some items have unlimited uses
and do not have a number next to them.

When an item is depleted, it is removed from the item slot.

To find out more about items in your inventory, go to the Inventory Menu.

wooden stick, perfect for walks in the
countryside

short blade crafted by the Men of
Westernesse in ancient times

Sting – Forged by the smiths of
Gondolin in the First Age, Sting glows
blue in the presence of Orcs

Aragorn

throughout Middle-earth

blade was shattered during battle against
Sauron; reforged by Elven smiths,it is
renamed Andúril–Flame of the West

Melee Attacks

Basic Attack

Press the L Mouse button to use your basic attack.Your character will attack the
closest enemy.

Blocking

Press and hold Left Control to block.A
successful block will reduce damage from enemy
attacks.You must face an enemy attack to block
it successfully.

Special Attacks

Aragorn has a number of special attacks unique
to his character.

Kick

When you are near an enemy, press the Space
Bar

.Aragorn will attack with a powerful kick.

Thrust

When you are near an enemy, press the
L Mouse button.Aragorn will deliver a
powerful thrust with his sword.

Ranged Weapons

Frodo has a limitless supply of rocks to throw. Rocks inflict a small amount of
damage and are useful for distracting enemies.

Aragorn uses his bow in ranged combat.

Gandalf does not use a weapon for ranged combat. Instead, he switches to his arsenal
of spells–offensive and defensive.

10

Aiming and Firing

Press the R Mouse button to fire a ranged
attack.Your character will attack the targeted
enemy (if one is available) when a shot is fired.

Sometimes it is easier to aim using the
first-person camera. Press the

F key to enter
first-person mode, and a targeting reticule will
appear. Remember that you can strafe left and
right by using the

A and D keys. Moving the left

thumbstick

in first-person mode positions the

targeting reticule.

Damage caused by a ranged attack is based on
the type of ammunition or spell used.

Ammunition

Frodo

Rocks: Smooth round stones, perfect for throwing
and for distracting the enemy

Aragorn

Wooden Arrow: Common hunting arrows
found throughout Middle-earth

Finishing Blows

If an enemy has been knocked to the ground,
you can finish him by standing over his body
and pressing the

Space Bar.

11

MAGIC

Instead of a ranged weapon, Gandalf has a formidable array of offensive and
defensive spells.

Using Spells

Press the I key to bring up inventory, use A
and S keys to select the spell, press Enter
when the desired spell is selected. Press the
R Mouse button to cast it.

Spirit

The use of magic requires a great deal of physical and mental energy.With each use,
Gandalf tires himself and reduces his ability to cast further spells.

Each spell drains a specific amount of spirit.When Gandalf’s
spirit meter is low,he may be unable to cast some spells until he
replenishes his spirit. Using Miruvor restores some of Gandalf’s
spirit. Gandalf also recovers spirit at campsites.

Offensive Spells

Fiery Blast

When Gandalf casts a fiery blast, a fiery projectile is hurled from his hand
toward a single target.

Chain Lightning

Chain lightning blasts multiple enemies at once. Bolts of lightning streak
forth from Gandalf’s staff, striking all enemies within a limited area.The
lightning jumps from target to target, inflicting the same amount of
damage on each.

Staff Strike

When Gandalf is hemmed in by enemies, the staff strike is especially valuable.
A wave of force extends outward in an expanding ring, damaging all enemies
(and breakable items) within range, knocking them off balance, and disrupting
attacks and spell casting.

12

Defensive Spells

Heal

The wizard has the power to preserve his mortal shell.This spell restores
some or all of Gandalf’s lost health points.

Attract

Gandalf’s piercing gaze and commanding voice strike fear into the hearts
of evil creatures.With a brief incantation, the power of Gandalf’s will
strikes a single foe, causing all enemies within a radius to turn and attack
the target.

AVOIDING DETECTION

Sometimes it is wiser to avoid detection by enemies than to charge headlong
into battle.

Stealth

Frodo uses stealth to avoid being seen or heard by an enemy. Press and hold the
Left Shift.The faster Frodo moves, the more noise he makes and the easier it is for
an enemy to detect him.

When Frodo is wearing the One Ring, he is able to move across an enemy’s line of
sight without being detected.

13

THE ONE RING

When Frodo uses the Ring, he enters a surreal
shadow world. Here the power of Sauron and
his minions is strong.When wearing the Ring,
Frodo is hidden from the eyes of mortal foes,
but steadily draws the attention of Sauron's
Lidless Eye.

The power of the Ring is immense, but the cost
of using it is high.With each use of the Ring,
Frodo comes closer to corruption, dissipation
and, ultimately, domination.

Using the Ring

As Frodo, you may tempt fate and use the One Ring.To do so, press the R key.To
take off the Ring, press the

R key a second time.

Purity

The purity meter on the Status bar tracks the effects of the Ring on Frodo.This bar
shows how strongly his spirit remains untainted by the Ring’s dark pull.

Each time the Ring is worn, Frodo is corrupted by it.Merely placing the Ring on his
finger reduces Frodo’s purity, and after a short time it begins to corrupt Frodo steadily.

At full corruption, Frodo falls fully under the influence of the Ring, and the game ends
as Sauron’s minions capture the Ringbearer.

Good deeds or simply being in the company of certain individuals may increase
Frodo’s purity level.
