==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
===Act One===
===Introduction===
====The [[Shire]]====  
===The Shire===
The first act deals with [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]]'s journey to [[Bree]]. It begins peacefully in the Shire as Frodo has to make the final arrangements for his departure. Although there are many optional quests involving the inhabitants of [[Bywater]] and [[Hobbiton]], the main story focuses on the selling of [[Bag End]]. Once this is complete and the [[One Ring|Ring]] is retrieved Frodo must escape the Shire undetected by [[Black Riders]] to meet with his companions and [[Maggot]]'s Farm.
;Hobbiton
;Bywater
;Green Hill Country
;Night Hobbiton<ref name="save">So called in the game's [[wikipedia:Saved game|.rsg]]-files.</ref>
;Night Bywater<ref name="save"/>
;Night Green Hill<ref name="save"/>


====[[The Old Forest]]====
===The Old Forest===
;Forest Labyrinth
Frodo must find [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]], [[Samwise Gamgee|Sam]] and [[Peregrin Took|Pippin]] who have lost themselves among the moving trees of the Old Forest, while battling [[spiders]].
;Withywindle Path
Frodo finds Merry and Pippin taken by [[Old Man Willow]]. After [[Tom Bombadil]] arrives on the scene to rescue them, he asks Frodo to help him gather lilies for [[Goldberry]]. Along the way, more spiders emerge. As a reward, he takes the Hobbits to his house, where they can recuperate.
;The Barrow-downs
Frodo's companions are again lost and Frodo has to find them in the fog of the wight-haunted downs. In the final barrow Frodo finds his new weapon, one of the [[Daggers of Westernesse]]. Though the quest log tells the player this knife is necessary to defeat the Barrow-wight that serves as a [[wikipedia:Boss (video games)|boss]], throwing many rocks at him from the safety of an elevated part does the trick too. After "defeating" the wight, Frodo decides to sing a song tought to him by Tom Bomdail, who emerges and sings the wight away. He gives them more daggers, and tells them to stay the night at ''[[The Prancing Pony]]''.
===Bree===
;Town of Bree
It is apparent that Merry is missing and gameplay switches to Aragorn. Having found Merry he then hunts for objects to construct Hobbit decoys to fool the Nazgûl who are still on their trail, battling wolves and ruffians along the way.
===Weathertop===
;Weathertop Hill
Aragorn escorts Frodo and Sam to the summit of Weathertop. On the way [[Wargs]] and [[Orcs]] are first introduced into the game. At the summit of the hill, Aragorn discovers signs of a struggle, and he is attacked by a [[troll]]. After defeating the troll, Frodo notices [[Nazgûl|Black Riders]] on the [[Great East Road]], and they head back to the encampment.
;A Knife in the Dark
In a cut-scene, Frodo is stabbed by the [[Witch-king]], and Aragorn must prevent the Nazgûl from stabbing Frodo even more, fighting them off with a fire-brand.
;Troll Shaws
Aragorn must clear the area of enemies including orcs, wargs and several trolls. Once all enemies are defeated [[Glorfindel]] appears; he sends Frodo away on [[Asfaloth]]. After his stance at the [[Ford of Bruinen]], Frodo collapses.
===Rivendell===
;House of Elrond
Frodo wakes in Rivendell, and meets Gandalf. After the [[Council of Elrond]], [[Bilbo Baggins]] gives Frodo [[Sting]] and the ''[[mithril]]'' shirt; [[Arwen]] gives Aragorn [[Andúril]]. Both merely serve as weapon upgrade.
===Moria===
;Hollin Ridge
;Labyrinth
;3 Passages
;2nd Hall
Frodo and Gimli have to fight themselves through the [[Second Hall]]. The player controls Frodo, who has to pull several levers to connect bridges and open the main door. Though most of the fighting can be left to Gimli, some foes - several archers, some orcs - are outside his reach, and have to be avoided or killed by Frodo.
;Abyss Fight
Gandalf fights the Balrog. The Balrog can only be stunned by the spell of lightning, after which Gandalf has to hit him with Glamdring. One hit from the Balrog's sword, however, is lethal.


Frodo must find [[Merry]], [[Sam]] and [[Pippin]] who have lost themselves in a fores labyrinth. He must then free Merry and Pippin from the clutches of [[Old Man Willow]]. Finally [[Tom Bombadil]] intervenes, rescuing the Hobbits and setting them off in search of 12 water lilies whilst defending themselves from the giant spiders. Once recovered Tom takes them to his house to recuperate.

====The [[Trollshaws]]====
{{references}}
Aragorn must clear the area of enemies including orcs, wargs and about 5 Trolls. Once all enemies are defeated [[Glorfindel]] takes the company to [[Rivendell]]. In other versions the enemies are mainly goblins(including the xbox version).
 
===Act Three- [[Moria]]===
Act three begins with [[Gandalf]] as the playable character as he searches for the doors of Moria. As he attempts to open them, play switches to Aragorn as he fends off the [[Watcher in the Water]] before returning to Gandalf on entering Moria. in the other system versions you must defeat the watcher in the water with Gandalf. With [[Gimli]] the [[dwarf]] as a companion, Gandalf must navigate the dark maze of the [[Dwarrowdelf]] fighting off the orcs and trolls that stalk its shadows. in other versions you do not fight all enemies like trolls and so not have Gimli as a conpanion at all. The game becomes more objective based when the Fellowship reaches [[Balin's Tomb]] from which Gandalf must find an escape route as the other characters fend off the trolls, using slabs of stone which redirect the light onto the huge keyhole, and the only thing to open the humungous door is the light, this is a real puzzerler. Play then switches to Frodo in the 21st hall, retaining Gimli (no gimli in other versions) as a companion, who must find a way through the various ladders, walkways and bridges to reach and open the gates on the other side. The act reaches its conclusion on the [[Bridge of Khazad-dûm]] where Gandalf duels with the Moria boss, the one and only Balrog.
 
===Act Four- [[Amon Hen]]===
Act Four sees Aragorn resume the role of playable character after a brief interlude in [[Lothlórien]]. First there is a short level in which he spies out an orc-dam on the river [[Anduin]] in which the game introduces its final minor enemy, the [[Uruk-hai]]. Play then moves onto the final level of the game at Amon Hen in which Aragorn battles his way through most of the previously-encountered enemies to the Seeing Seat. The very summit has to be reached twice, first as Frodo who must get to the top of a stone hill while other members of the fellowship are dueling orcs. Aragorn battles the game's final boss, the [[Fell Beasts|Fell Beast]] using only his bow and arrow at the top of the hill. The game ends in a cut-scene where [[Legolas of Mirkwood|Legolas]] shoots the winged beast with an arrow.
 
A final cut-scene shows [[Galadriel]] over her [[Mirror of Galadriel|mirror]], where she recounts the future of Sam and Frodo. It features two pieces of artwork from [[Alan Lee]], one showing [[Gollum]] and the other Frodo and Sam.

A sequel was planned for this game, and was to be titled ''The Lord of the Rings: The Treason of Isengard''. The game was in development, but was cancelled before its release.

Withywindle Path

Frodo finds Merry and Pippin taken by Old Man Willow. After Tom Bombadil arrives on the scene to rescue them, he asks Frodo to help him gather lilies for Goldberry. Along the way, more spiders emerge. As a reward, he takes the Hobbits to his house, where they can recuperate.

The Barrow-downs

Frodo's companions are again lost and Frodo has to find them in the fog of the wight-haunted downs. In the final barrow Frodo finds his new weapon, one of the Daggers of Westernesse. Though the quest log tells the player this knife is necessary to defeat the Barrow-wight that serves as a boss, throwing many rocks at him from the safety of an elevated part does the trick too. After "defeating" the wight, Frodo decides to sing a song tought to him by Tom Bomdail, who emerges and sings the wight away. He gives them more daggers, and tells them to stay the night at The Prancing Pony.

Bree

Town of Bree

It is apparent that Merry is missing and gameplay switches to Aragorn. Having found Merry he then hunts for objects to construct Hobbit decoys to fool the Nazgûl who are still on their trail, battling wolves and ruffians along the way.

Aragorn escorts Frodo and Sam to the summit of Weathertop. On the way Wargs and Orcs are first introduced into the game.
