Story[]
Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli pursue a group of Uruk-hai to save their companions Merry and Pippin, entering the kingdom of Rohan. The Uruk-hai are ambushed by a group of Rohirrim, allowing Merry and Pippin to escape into Fangorn Forest. Upon meeting Aragorn's group, the leader of the Rohirrim, Éomer, explains that he and his men have been exiled by the king of Rohan, Théoden, who is under the control of Saruman and his servant Grima Wormtongue. Éomer believes that Merry and Pippin died during the raid, but leaves the group two horses. In Fangorn, Merry and Pippin meet Treebeard, an Ent. Convincing Treebeard that they are allies, they are brought to an Ent Council, where the Ents decide not to participate in the coming war. Later, Aragorn's group meets Gandalf, who after his fight against the Balrog was resurrected as Gandalf the White to help save Middle-earth.
Walkthrough[]
Level Prelude[]
After completing the previous level, you will appear on the road to Isengard with Frodo, Sam, Gollum (who you cannot change into), Faramir and Madril. If you follow the path of studs, you will come to an area that will be blocked by a red mist, meaning that Sauron's gaze is on this area. If you go towards it, the Eye of Sauron will force you back. Because of that, you won't be able to do anything and your only option will be to switch to Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli's perspective. Press and hold the alternate attack button to open the character wheel and select Aragorn, Legolas or Gimli to switch to them.
From Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli's perspective, follow the path of studs to start this level.
Level Walkthrough[]
You start at the entrance to Fangorn Forest. Switch to Legolas, go to the left side and shoot a target to get a rope. Then, shoot the three targets on top of a large bonfire to make three boxes fall and use the bricks received to build a ladder. Switch to Gimli, go up the stairs, stand on a broken slab and destroy it after jumping on it to reveal a belt. Switch to Aragorn, take the belt and follow the green path until you learn what happened to the hobbits. Grab another item with Aragorn and follow the green path to find bricks that you can use to build a hook. After building the hook, use the rope you got on it to reveal another item. Grab it with Aragorn and follow the green path until you see what the hobbits did to get another item. Grab it with Aragorn and follow the green path to reveal a cracked tile. Switch to Gimli, stand on it and destroy it after jumping on it to destroy the log barrier and reveal another item. Grab it with Aragorn and follow the green path to five yellow bushes to move on to the next area.
In the next area, you will take control of Merry and Pippin, who are fleeing Grishnákh. Go right, destroy the rocks blocking your path and go down the slope where you will have to fight the Moria Orcs. After defeating the Moria Orcs, have both hobbits grab the handholds on the log above. Then build a ladder. Climb the ladder to the upper ledge and continue along the path to the right defeating more Moria Orcs. After defeating the enemies, an armored Moria Orc will destroy the rubble to open a hatch. Defeat him and enter the newly opened hatch to move to the right. You will reach a place that might seem like a dead end. Destroy the bushes in the middle of the place next to the large tree and build several handholds with them. Use them to reach the top of the tree and then reach the final area.
In the final area, Pippin will control Treebeard. Head to the right while smashing both objects and incoming enemies. If you're having trouble hitting them, press the attack button and Treebeard will swing his arm. When you reach the end of the path, head north. After a brief fight with Moria Orcs, you will need to defeat some archers. Approach one of the rocks on the ground and press the action button to pick it up and target the nearby rocks by holding down the attack button. This will unlock a path to the upper path. Follow the path north and then continue along the path to the right. When you reach a stream, you will have to help Merry cross it. Approach him, press the action button and then press it again on the other side to put him down. The Moria Orcs will block the path with a burning log. Since the Ents fear fire, you will have to trust the hobbits. Switch to Merry and use the hatch. At the top, grab the vine to put out the flames. Return to Pippin and head further north towards a light to finish the level.
