• This is Part 10 of our complete Lord of the Rings Conquest Walkthrough, featuring Rise of Sauron: Mount Doom.

  • Conquest Campaign

    The Lord of the Rings: Conquest features two campaigns in its single-player mode. One focuses on the Armies of the West and follows the major events of the Lord of the Rings films. During this campaign, players get the chance to control many of the major protagonists from The Lord of the Rings, including Gandalf, Aragorn and Legolas. The other campaign focuses on the armies of Mordor in a hypothetical scenario in which The One Ring was never destroyed and Sauron never defeated. In this campaign, players can embody the evil wizard Saruman and even Sauron himself. The campaign mode can be played co-operatively with another person on a split screen and takes approximately ten hours to complete.GameSpot: The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Impressions (July 15, 2008)

  • Objective 1: Acquire the Mask

    1. The evil campaign begins with you controlling a Nazgul, which has the same basic abilities as the Warrior. You need to get the Witch King's mask, which is being guarded by Orcs who covet the ring for themselves.
    2. Get accustomed to the Nazgul's controls on the first handful of grunts, then move to the Orc Warriors near the gate. Let your fellow Nazgul take care of them while you move to the gate.
    3. At the gate, go to the lever on the right side and hit RB to pull it. Continue along this path.
    4. A crowd of Orc Grunts and Archers awaits in the next room. Head straight towards them and hold LB, then press B repeatedly to perform a series of slam attacks. Clean the remaining enemies up with combos, then head to the mask.
    5. CAUTION: If you're low on energy here, you may want to get killed in order to get a fresh life, as the next challenge is difficult to accomplish if you lose any lives. Also, try to store up as much special energy as possible before killing these last few enemies.
    6. Heeding the advice above, defeat the last few enemies around the mask. They are easily killed with regular attacks. Grab the mask when you've defeated them all.

  • Objective 2: Deliver the Mask

    1. Head in the direction of the yellow arrow. When you reach the gate, pull the lever on the left side to open it.
    2. Approach the throne in the middle of the room, delivering the mask.

  • Objective 3: Kill 20 Forge Orcs

    1. You have two minutes to kill 20 Orcs. This is difficult, particularly on Heroic or Legendary difficulties.
    2. Charge the group of enemies that come out of the gate. When you get close, hold LB and press B to perform a special slam attack. Keep pressing B and point the left thumbstick forward, causing your character to slam down again on the crowd. Continue to press B while pointing the left thumbstick toward the highest concentration of enemies. If executed properly, you can kill four or more enemies this way.
    3. The attack you just used is crucial for racking up quick kills, but you'll have to perform regular attacks to recharge your special abilities. Find the nearest enemy that isn't completely surrounded by follow Orcs and use a combo, such as X, X, Y, Y', B to recharge.
    4. Once your special bar is refilled, launch a series of LB and B attacks, pointing the left thumbstick towards your enemies after each blow.
    5. Continue this pattern. The best enemies to recharge on are mages, as they aren't good at defending, but you won't have time to be picky. If an Orc Warrior blocks your attacks, use the special power you just charged up to finish him off.

  • Objective 4: Kill the 2 Orc Captains

    1. Choose the Witch King when asked if you'd like to play as a hero.
    2. Look for the gate in this room nearest the arrows pointing to the two captains. Throw the nearby lever to open the gate.
    3. Take care of the two grunts at the gate, then move forward.
    4. With any luck, the first captain will approach you as you're crossing the fire pits. Turn the tables by circling around him so his back is to the pits, then perform a combo, starting with weak X attacks and moving to the strong B attacks. Keep hitting him until he falls in.
    5. If you can't knock the captain into the pits, defeat him the old fashioned way. Hold LB and hit B for a devastating special move, then follow up with combos. If the captain's minions get too close, charge up your special meter with regular attacks, then hold LT and press B to clear them out.
    6. Use this strategy to defeat the other captain. Try not to let up on your attacks, as the captain can heal himself on occasion.

  • Objective 5: Rally to Sauron's Hold

    1. Run away from the remaining enemies, up the ramp to Sauron's Hold.
    2. When you get there, use combos to attack the crowd of Orc Grunts. They are easily defeated.

  • Objective 6: Kill Frodo Baggins

    1. Frodo waits, cloaked, but he can pack a wallop if you get close. Wait until the Nazgul arrive.
    2. The Nazgul's attacks should draw Frodo out of hiding. Use this opportunity to unleash a combo of your own. Keep attacking Frodo until a cutscene is triggered.
    3. Frodo will now begin to run away. Run after him.
    4. Even when he's cloaked, the yellow arrow gives away his location. Get close, and begin attacking with X. When you hit him, follow through with a combo.
    5. Deplete enough of Frodo's energy and he will make his way toward a cliff overhanging deadly lava. Approach Frodo swinging, as you did the last time, and you can either deplete his energy or knock him over the edge.
    6. Recover the ring to end the mission, earning the "Assault on Mount Doom" Achievement.
