SHADOWS OF MORDOR - SOLUTION - TYPED BY VAXALON - 1994
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
(You can play this game in various ways, as Frodo, as Sam, or as both
|
|
characters. This solution assumes that you're Frodo.)
|
|
|
|
START: Make your way to the cliff by going S, E, E, N, E, and if you don't
|
|
meet Smeagol on the way just WAIT until he turns up.
|
|
|
|
SMEAGOL: HIT SMEAGOL WITH SWORD when he appears, then when he falls to the
|
|
ground SAY TO SAM "TIE ROPE TO SMEAGOL". When Smeagol complains and asks
|
|
you to release him you must SAY TO SMEAGOL "NO". He will offer to act as a
|
|
guide, so SAY TO SMEAGOL "PROMISE" and when he reluctantly agrees you should
|
|
UNTIE ROPE and SAY TO SMEAGOL "FOLLOW ME". He should follow you from now on,
|
|
but if he doesn't it may be because he's tired so go back and find him and
|
|
SAY TO SMEAGOL "REST".
|
|
|
|
CLIFF: There are two ways down. Both require you to CUT TREE WITH SWORD.
|
|
This command may need repeating, but eventually you'll be left with a stump
|
|
and a branch.
|
|
(1) Take branch and use it to lever boulders to edge of cliff, then
|
|
LEVER ROUND ROCK OVER CLIFF to send the lighter one over the edge. Tie rope
|
|
to remaining (LUMPY) boulder and CLIMB DOWN ROPE to ledge below. When your
|
|
companions arrive, PULL ROPE to release it then tie it round the other
|
|
boulder and CLIMB DOWN ROPE to the bottom. PULL ROPE to retrieve it.
|
|
(2) LEVER STUMP OVER CLIFF then go down hole made by cutting the tree.
|
|
HOLD OUT CRYSTAL to enable you to see, or cut branch into twigs and light
|
|
twigs with match. Go through tunnels until you come out on the ledge where
|
|
you TIE ROPE TO STUMP, then CLIMB DOWN ROPE and PULL ROPE.
|
|
|
|
BASE OF CLIFF/SWAMP: Go to northern edge of swamp and DROP ALL. Go to the
|
|
four logs and SAY TO SAM "DRAG LOG". Go back to edge of swamp and
|
|
SAY TO SAM "DROP LOG". Do this for all four logs and BUILD RAFT - which is
|
|
why you retrieved the rope after coming down the cliff.
|
|
|
|
RAFT/CROSSING SWAMP: SAY TO SAM "GET ALL", SAY TO SAM "GET ON RAFT" then get
|
|
on it yourself and POLE RAFT with the branch to the other side. SAY TO SAM
|
|
"GET OFF RAFT" the POLE RAFT back across again for Smeagol and repeat the
|
|
procedure for him. Finally you GET OFF RAFT and PULL ROPE to retrieve it.
|
|
|
|
OTHER SIDE OF SWAMP: Make your way to the Rough Paved Highway by following
|
|
Smeagol's advice. If a black rider enters then do nothing; if you stay
|
|
still he should fly off again. If an orc enters just leave the location
|
|
immediately to avoid it.
|
|
|
|
ROTTEN WOODS: You may have to WAIT here a few turns until the exit to the
|
|
east opens up. Then go E, SE, E, SE, S, and WAIT until Skinny Orc appears.
|
|
If you happen to meet him on your way there, try to ignore him as there's a
|
|
chance that a black rider might appear.
|
|
|
|
SKINNY ORC: KILL ORC WITH SWORD as soon as he appears, and repeat command
|
|
if necessary, or alternate this command with SAY TO SAM "KILL SKINNY ORC
|
|
WITH SWORD". Note that you have to specify to Sam which orc to kill or he
|
|
gets confused, especially if, as is possible, other orcs appear at this
|
|
point. When the skinny orc is dead EXAMINE ORC to learn about the length
|
|
of fishing line, and TAKE LENGTH. Then head for the water hole.
|
|
|
|
WATER HOLE: TAKE PARCHMENT, and if you want a laugh don't leave at once
|
|
but wait and listen to the conversation between the bathing orcs.
|
|
|
|
STOUT ORC: When asked for your pass, GIVE PARCHMENT, then when you've been
|
|
given the all-clear go S, S, W, S, to the overgrown hollow. If smeagol
|
|
vanishes on the way, don't worry as he should reappear with something
|
|
useful: "a plump young coney".
|
|
|
|
OVERGROWN HOLLOW:
|
|
When you arrive, GO FISHING, provided you're carrying the length of line.
|
|
If sam has it then SAY TO SAM "GO FISHING" and repeat if necessary until
|
|
you catch something. If you WAIT then Faramir should appear, causing
|
|
Smeagol to run off.
|
|
|
|
FARAMIR: When he asks what you are, SAY TO FARAMIR "HOBBITS" and he should
|
|
be pleased to see you. When he leaves you should continue waiting until
|
|
he returns and gives you some rations, then SAY TO FARAMIR "THANKS".
|
|
However, while you are waiting you may encounter...
|
|
|
|
AN ENRAGED OLIPHANT: If this turns up while you're waiting at the overgrown
|
|
hollow, simply going north, waiting and returning south should cause it to
|
|
go away again.
|
|
|
|
PLUMP YOUNG CONEY: This is a young rabbit, very tasty to eat, but it has to
|
|
be cooked first. CUT BRANCH WITH SWORD until you get a pile of twigs,
|
|
then DROP TWIGS. OPEN BACKPACK, GET PAN, PUT CONEY IN PAN, GET SALT,
|
|
SPRINKLE SALT ON CONEY, PUT SALT IN BACKPACK, OPEN MATCHBOX (or SAY TO SAM
|
|
"OPEN MATCHBOX"), GET MATCH, LIGHT MATCH, MAKE FIRE, PUT PAN ON FIRE,
|
|
EXAMINE PAN, GET PAN and finally EAT RABBIT until it's all gone. Then put
|
|
the pan back in the pack and close the pack up.
|
|
|
|
WATERFALL: You now need to meet up with Smeagol again so go to the waterfall
|
|
location and GO WATERFALL before going SE to meet Smeagol. When he tells
|
|
you he's hungry just give him the fish you caught earlier, and SAY TO
|
|
SMEAGOL "EAT FISH" (some people can't work anything out for themselves).
|
|
Now go back through the waterfall to the Dark Shadowed highway (south of
|
|
the waterfall).
|
|
|
|
DARK SHADOWED HIGHWAY: Keep an eye open for Black Riders and remember to
|
|
stay still if they are present. Go E, SE to the pale white bridge, then go
|
|
NE and WAIT until Frodo starts acting strangely and heads east. Once he's
|
|
done that, go up the Twisted Staircase (N, U, W, U, E) to meet the
|
|
Red-Eyed Wolf.
|
|
|
|
RED-EYED WOLF: To be allowed to pass safely, SAY TO SAM "DROP BREAD" and
|
|
when the wolf has eaten it go NE to the entrance to the Yawning black tunnel.
|
|
|
|
YAWNING BLACK TUNNEL: Go east into the tunnel and HOLD OUT CRYSTAL to provide
|
|
light. Make your way through tunnels be going S, SE, NE then CUT WEB WITH
|
|
SWORD and go no S, NE, NE, E. At this point you should hear a voice coming
|
|
from a Cocoon, so EXAMINE COCOON and GET COCOON before going north and
|
|
south-east to the narrow Tunnel mouth.
|
|
|
|
SPIDER/NARROW TUNNEL MOUTH: Somewhere during your travels through the tunnels
|
|
you should have met the spider, and as soon as you do just type in the word
|
|
GALADRIEL to send it scuttling off. The spider should now be waiting to the
|
|
east, so SAY TO SAM "GO EAST AND ATTACK SPIDER WITH SWORD", then WAIT and
|
|
go east yourself to meet (fingers crossed) a live Sam and a dead spider.
|
|
Then go north and west to the Sturdy Iron door.
|
|
|
|
STURDY IRON DOOR: Here you can CUT COCOON WITH SWORD and then WAIT until
|
|
a platoon of Orcs appears and rushes through the door.
|
|
|
|
RESTING: You should do this regularly to keep your strength up, and don't
|
|
forget to SAY TO SAM "REST" and SAY TO SMEAGOL "REST".
|
|
|
|
EATING: EAT when you're carrying the bread, or EAT RATIONS when carrying the
|
|
rations. Do this fairly regularly too. Sam will follow your example without
|
|
being told, but smeagol will only eat fish which is why you must catch one
|
|
at the overgrown hollow. Note that there are several fish: slippery ones,
|
|
ugly ones etc.
|
|
|
|
BOX OF SOIL WITH MAGICAL PROPERTIES: Sam carries this around, but as to its
|
|
purpose....?
|
|
|
|
Note that there are other locations, other characters and other routines.
|
|
This is just one of several ways of getting through the game.
