As you progress on this balcony area, an explosion will occur to the right, knocking away the enemies that were in your view. Go through the newly opened wall, and up the ramp on the left. Kill a few guards with some Fast Attacks for some Excellent kills, and keep it steady as you run up the ramp. Watch the fast cut-scene, and take out some guards up here.
Run up the stairs, and kill a few extra soldiers up here. Keep running until the camera changes, where you should kill a guard charges towards you. Go down the ladder here, and kill the two blind Archers on this platform. Go further down another ladder, and kill the two soldiers that enter. Watch out for the Archer in the background outside.
Help out the good guys out here by killing off some soldiers. If the battle gets too intense, distance yourself and shoot off some arrows. Walk up the stairs, shooting arrows at the Archer here, and go inside of the building. Snipe away at a few Archers above, and take out any guards that come after you. Once up here, duel with a few soldiers by Fierce Attacking them, and shoot away at the Archer near the ledge.
Walk outside, and you will reach the Checkpoint. Destroy a guard from behind, and follow right. Go up the ladder, and fight off some more guards. You will reach a short bridge. Walk up the bridge whilst destroying more soldiers with Fast Attacks. Once atop, there will be plenty of Archers and regular soldiers to spread around, so knock them down and stab them with the Killing Move. Hide under the small roof to allow the dragon time to decrease, if needed.
Climb down the ladder, and duel with the guards that are down here. Travel up the winding staircase, and fight off several soldiers along the way. Once you reach the top, press the Action Button on the glowing circle to send the bell tumbling down, killing several soldiers, and knocking away the wood blocking an exit.
Rush down the stairs, and go through the newly opened hole. Slash away at the enemies running amuck outside, and go up the stairs straight ahead. Quickly knock down the guards up here, and perform the Killing Move to eliminate them in time. Move left quickly, and up several ramps to reach a safe rooftop. Eliminate your foes from here.
Kill several guards from afar with the arrows, and move out once the dragon timer ceases. Make your way straight ahead, and into the building. Go down the ladder from here. Once you have made it to the bottom, destroy three guards, and hop onto another ladder. Make your way to the bottom once more. Walk through the sewer and kill several enemies along the way.
You will soon reach an enemy with a health meter. You can either cloak yourself (Special Move) and slip past him, or Parry three of his attacks, and hit him with a Fierce Attack. Take out the Archers, and quickly turn the gate lever. Go through, and watch the cut-scene. This will complete the mission.
The King Of The Dead
After the movie sequence, you will face off with the boss. The King Of The Dead is a very dangerous lad that will sink into the dirt, and rise above for an onslaught of attacks. The best way to defeat the King Of The Dead is to initially Parry his melee attacks, and counter with the Fierce Attacks. Perform this a few times, and he will summon his lackeys to come out and do the dirty work.
To easily destroy the ghouls that he summons into battle, perform the Orc Hewer to knock them down, and press the Killing Move button to eliminate them from battle. Continue using the Parry-Fierce combo until the King begins to spin in a wind attack. Here, you should snap him out of it with a few charged projectile attacks while hiding behind the rocks in the surroundings. Just remember that near the end, the King attacks in five straight hits, not three. Before you know it, the King will be dead.
Now you must escape from this terrible madhouse. Run downward, towards the camera, to fight with several different enemies after the series of bridges. Take them all out with very swift Fierce Attack combos, and carry on. Continue following the path, and you will reach another set of ghosts to battle against. This tomb contains several dead with health meters. Remember to Parry their attacks as you make your way through here. Go through the fog backwards while tapping the Retreat Button to gain speed.
You will meet up with your party here. Take the health potion, and run for the exit... where you will be stopped by a mob of the dead. Try to run away from them if they become too much, and use your Special Ability here, as well. This will quickly drop several of these dead mercenaries. After you have defeated the first batch, a meaner batch will appear to be taken out. Pick up any potions that they happen to drop. Take out the Archers first, as always. If your health is low on those last few health meter ghosts, try using the arrows against them from a distance. Stay away from the exit, as it will explode. Proceed to complete the stage.
The Southern Gate
Select your best character (likely Aragorn), and proceed. Head for the gate dead ahead, and an Ogre will come out of nowhere. Foul beasts, they are. You will not want to take it out as is, so run back and to the left. Look for the two catapults. Make you way through the never-ending river of enemies, and press the Action Button near both catapults to create a new bridge.
Once across, look for the ladder to climb up and attack the enemies up here. Continue left. If you leveled up beyond insanity, then feel free to melee against the Ogre that awaits you. Otherwise, stand back and fire arrows at him until he dies.
A cut-scene will ensue. You will have to destroy the Oliphaunt in the distance. Draw your bow, and begin shooting arrows at each section until it explodes.
With that out of the way, you can pour some hot lava, tar, or something of the sort, onto the Ogre below until it dies, and hit the Action Button where the cut-scene showed you. After the gate is opened, hit those hot lava buckets down onto the enemies below. Go back down, and fight your way through the gate for the easy mission victory.
Minas Tirith - Top Of The Wall
You are forced to play as Gandalf, which is never a bad thing. Starting out, you will soon realize that there is a meter on the screen. You cannot allow many enemies to roam here. Take note of the new HUD screen, as you will have to knock down all of the ladders here by using an Attack against them (the regular attack button). After the cut scene, keep the area clean from guards for a while until another cut-scene ensues. Go to the left and behind the tower to reach a catapult at the top. Set it off by pressing the Action Button in the glowing circle when the glowing red icon shows up on the map.
Soon after this, press the Action Button again. This should damage a mainstay in the enemy's flow. Retreat to the wall once again, killing many-a-Orc and knocking down the ladders as you wish. Go across to the opposite side and straight (not up the stairs) along the right path. Follow it to the end, and begin shooting your projectiles at the transport that's near here until it goes down. After this, quickly go back down the stairs.
Take out many more Orcs, and as many ladders as you possibly can along the way back to the catapult that we visited to begin with. You must destroy the next transport in the area here once more, and go back down the stairs. Go over to the other side, and send projectiles flying at the transport to defeat the four total. Now, head for the stairs where the two guards are. Keep on rolling with the other guards to reach the exit of the stage.
