Story[]
Shelob discovers, paralyzes and binds Frodo, but Sam wounds and drives her away and, lamenting Frodo's apparent death, takes the Ring. Sam realizes his mistake when a group of Orcs take Frodo captive, but manages to rescue him while the Orcs fight among themselves. Now inside Mordor, the hobbits, disguised as Orcs, continue towards Mount Doom, their destination.
Walkthrough[]
Level Prelude[]
After completing the previous level, you will appear in the depths of Mordor with Frodo and Sam. If you press the alternate attack button, you can switch to the perspective of Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and Gandalf the White, but it is recommended to stick with Frodo and Sam's perspective first.
From Frodo and Sam's perspective, follow the path of studs that will take you to Cirith Ungol, where you will begin this level.
Level Walkthrough[]
You start in Shelob's Lair. Your task will be to protect Frodo from Shelob, who is paralyzed. Go to the web where Frodo is and grab both his Light Flask and his sword. Run after Shelob and she will stop for the light. Stand on the yellow circle, press the action button, and then press the attack button several times until your character attacks Shelob. She will run towards the wall. She will then shoot webs at you and summon a giant spider that you will have to defeat. Quickly throw the flask at her while holding down the attack button. This will knock her to the ground. Grab the flask again to stop Shelob and then stand on the yellow circle and press the action button, make sure you have the sword. Press the attack button several times until you damage her again. The last phase is almost the same as the previous one, only when she is on the wall, you have to hit her twice instead of once. Then, when you're in the series of quick time events, you'll have to beat three quick time events in a row instead of just one. When you hit Shelob the third time, you'll move on to the next area.
In the next area, Gorbag will block the entrance to the lower floor. Switch to Sam, throw his Elven Rope at the hook in the middle of the room and pick up the stone to throw it at the chain. This will cause the lamp to fall on Gorbag and destroy a portion of the upper floor, allowing you to go down to the lower floor with three Mordor Orcs. Grab the middle rope, go down it and defeat the three Mordor Orcs on the lower floor. Switch to Frodo and use his flask to light up the small room on the left side. Grab the gear, place it in the mechanism next to the door and have the two hobbits grab onto the two chains to go down the stairs to the next floor. As you go down the stairs, defeat three Mordor Orcs and you will see a group of Mordor Orcs and Uruk-hai fighting on the lower floor. Defeat them and you will see that three Uruk-hai will destroy the door on the upper right wall. Defeat them and go to the final area.
In the final area, you will fall from a scaffold and see a cutscene where two armored Mordor Orcs abandon Cirith Ungol. Therefore, you will have to have Frodo and Sam wear two helmets and two pieces of armor each and then disguise themselves as Orcs and leave Cirith Ungol. Head to the right, pick up a small rock and throw it into the curved pipe above the Orc. This will cause the Orc to get dirty and then head off to take a shower, which will give you a piece of armor. Have Frodo or Sam put it on. Head further to the right, passing through the entrance door and then defeating an Uruk-hai. You'll see a helmeted Orc on a high ledge throwing barrels at you, so you'll need to head for some green flags. Switch to Sam, go to the designated spot and set the green flags on fire. Then grab the rope next to it to make the fire spread to another flag and cause the barrels above to fall and be destroyed. Use the bricks received to build a catapult. Keep controlling Sam and use the catapult to reach the ledge on the right side. There, use the rope to climb to the ledge above, go right and hit the platform containing some barrels. This will kill the Orc that is throwing barrels at you and drop his helmet, which you can put on with either Frodo or Sam. Then build a ladder with the bricks on the ground for Frodo to climb to the high ledge. Go to the left of the ledge and you will see that a Mordor Orc will close the door on you if you try to run towards it. Switch to Frodo and put on his Elven Cloak to camouflage yourself with a box and reach the door without the Orc seeing you. Then, go up the stairs to the high ledge, defeat an Orc, and destroy two barrels on either side to get a stone and a stick, creating a hammer. Stand on the cracked tile, jump on it and press the attack button right in the air to destroy the tile with the hammer and reach the Mordor Orc's lair. There, defeat the Mordor Orc so the door remains open and turn a crank to open a door to the lair. Inside the lair, you will find another helmet that, since you made one of the characters put one on, you will have to put it on with the other character. Further to the left, use Sam to burn a wooden barrier and go even further left until you see two boxes. Defeat an Orc and push down the two boxes to reveal tiles, which you can use them to build the floor below. On the tiles on the left, you will also build a handhold so you can climb to the platform without having to do the route again. Push the platform into the alcove on the right and destroy a wooden window to find another suit of armor. If one of your characters is wearing the previous armor, have the other wear the one you just found. When the two hobbits are disguised as Orcs, have them greet the two guards near the door to open it and end the level.
Collectables[]

- At the beginning of the area, directly below the climbable wall that takes you to the previous minikit, destroy a cube to reveal this spider.
- To the right of the Save Statue, destroy a table and then a chair to reveal this spider.
- Behind the entrance to the special area with the eighth minikit, destroy a plank in the upper left corner of the room to reveal this spider. Due to some kind of bug, this spider is immune to melee attacks, so you'll have to hit it with something that can hit ranged objects, like an archer character.
- At the top of the high ledge, to the left of the Orc controlling the door mechanism, will be a large stone. Destroy it to reveal this spider.
- After pushing down the two boxes, go down the stairs on the left and destroy a large stone in an alcove to reveal this spider.

There, six Mordor Orcs will try to find you with spotlights. Switch to Frodo and put on the Elven Cloak so the Orcs won't see you. First, go down the upper hallway, then down the right hallway, and then down the upper hallway again. There is a small step that prevents you from sneaking past. Wait until the spotlight stops seeing you, take off your cloak and quickly jump to the step. Then, go down the left hallway and then down the lower left hallway. Put your cloak back on, continue down the hallway below, and grab a key. Then, continue through the upper hallway and continue along the right hallway until you reach the watchtower post in the upper right corner. Use a character with Elven Rope to pull a hook, build a bonfire and light it with Sam. This will bring down the watchtower and defeat the Mordor Orc guarding it. Finally, jump up to the step where the chest is and use the key to open the chest and reveal this minikit.
- (F) At the far right of the final area, to the right of the ledge with the Orc throwing barrels, you will find a broken slab. Use a character with axe to destroy it and then use a gardener character to grow a palm tree. Use a high-jumper character to reach it and then use it as a trampoline to grab a chain. You will activate a cannon that will fire blue barrels. You will then start a minigame where you have to destroy twenty blue barrels in 60 seconds. There are five at first, but the cannon will fire more as you destroy the blue barrels. If you manage to destroy all twenty blue barrels before time runs out, you will win the minigame and the cannon you activated will launch this minikit at you.
