When you get to the part where you have to kill 75 Orcs, stay on the ridge and let the ents kill them then move on.

To easily defeat Shelob, make sure that you have the move "Poison Blade" before entering this level. Charge the move up when Shelob backs away, then strike when she approaches. This will make the battle go much faster.

Use Legolas and run directly up to Shelob. Start using your speed attack. She will turn around, but keep slashing. Her health will drop dramatically.

When the battle starts, Shelob is preoccupied with Frodo, so you can get a free hit on her. Use this to your advantage and attack with the Orc Hewer combo, This is recommended, as using a 4-hit combo will end up with you damaged. She will start hitting you three times in a row. Parry those hits, then respond with a simple Speed combo. Do not bother with other combos (even Orc Hewer), because trading blows with Shelob is tricky; she will strike quickly then pause, but the lull is only long enough to get a very quick combo in. Orc Hewer is slower to develop. Keep trading hits (remember to parry as well) then, after enough damage, you will succeed in putting out one of Shelob's eyes. Shelob will crawl up the wall and summon some spiders. They will drop from the sky. When you see one of them flying down, go to where it will land and start using Final Judgement to kill it. Then, run to one of the walls. If one of the spiders does not follow you, use a ranged attack to get its attention. Then, on the spider, use a Fierce attack, then the Death move to kill it. Repeat this with all of the spiders. Do this quickly, as if you take too long Shelob will jump from the wall and you will need to deal with her and the other spiders as well. When Shelob jumps down, she will be flat for a few seconds; use another Speed combo. Then, she will trade blows with you again. If you do not damage her enough, she will call more spiders. Damage her quickly. If you hurt her enough, you will cut off half of her leg. She will then run around her lair and try to run you over. You cannot parry this; run away. She will then call more spiders. Repeat the same process. She will then trade blows with you; repeat again. Repeat this entire process until she is dead.

At the very beginning of the level, when you walk up to the gate a Troll will drop down. In co-op mode, have one person near the pikes and have the other player walk up the gate. When the troll comes down, have the person by the pikes press Action and throw the pike at the Troll. It will be killed automatically. This helps save health.

Use the following trick to defeat the Troll at the top of the walkway. When you run up the ladder, do not go up all the way on the platform with the Troll. Stand behind the small wall and use a ranged attack. The Troll cannot reach you, though he will swing at you. The Orcs and other enemies cannot get past him and also cannot hurt you. It takes a few shot to bring down the Troll, but you will not be injured.

As soon as you step on the drawbridge, you are ambushed by Orcs and a Troll. Quickly run from the Troll and shoot the catapults. Once this is done, do not go up on top of the gate. Kill all the surrounding Orcs. Travel down as far as you can from the catapults (not towards the gate). Once you have gone as far as you can, turn and run left. When you cannot go left anymore, there should be an area where Orcs are appearing. Keep killing them with arrows before they reach you, and they will eventually stop. Then travel to the right until you see another area where they are appear from. Destroy them all here until they stop. Then, travel to the right some more and do the same thing. In all, there should be four different Orc spawning locations. When they stop coming from all of these, they will no longer appear.

If you have already completed the game, you can go to the Southern Gate level with a character that has a low level (for example, Merry). When you are fighting the Orcs, stay there and keep fighting them as much as needed. When your health gets low, use the "Health" command and restore it.

At the end of the level after you have opened the gate, do not use the pots to kill the extra Orcs. Instead, go down and fight them by hand. By doing this you will gain about 2,000 more experience points.

Let the Troll jump off. Throw a spear at it. Hopefully you will have every Bane. If you do, keep using them and you will rank up the Perfects. It takes about ten minutes for the Orcs to die down. Once all of them are dead, fire all catapults. Then, go up to where the Troll is located. Use a Bane, then quickly kill the Troll while still in Perfect mode. Use the same approach with the Mumakil. Pull open the gate. Then, use another Bane, and pour the vats of oil over onto the Orcs. Run through the gate. You should gain about three levels if you are at a high level.
BBBBBEN.
This level can get you a lot of experience points, since there are so many enemies. With the larger kind of enemies (not troll) press A(3), then when they are in mid-air, press Y. Note: This was done with Aragon and Faramir.
