OK I keep getting angry at my PS2 at the moment, I can't defeat Gothmog at Osgiliath in The lord of the rings the third age! If I end up dying one more time I don't know what I'll do ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!
Can u help??

Gothmog, Orc Army Commander:

Location: Osgiliath (When you meet Faramir)
Suggested Characters: Berethor, Idrial, Any, (Faramir)
Difficulty: **1/2
HP: 60,589
AP: 60,593
Vulnerable: Fire, Light
Strong: Blunt, Slash, Pierce
Immune: Root, Sleep, Melee Bind, Ranged Bind, Spirit Bind

The first Gothmog battle is very simple, mainly because he can't get more
men. Immediately start out with the Idrial routine, using Frenzy (You did get
it, didn't you?) and Aura of the Valar on all, concentrating most on herself
and Berethor and Faramir last. On your first turn with Faramir, use Volley of
Arrows. Then on your next turn, use it again, and the orcs should be down to
sufficient health to be killed by anyone (you don't want Berethor bothering
with them) On Berethor's turn use Double Attack, then Gondor Rampage on
Gothmog. Keep repeating this until he is dead. Meanwhile, as you are
finishing off Gothmog, use Faramir's Steward's Armor so everyone takes less
damage from Barad-Dur Curse, and heave your third character take out the now
half-health orcs.

Gothmog (Second Battle):

Where: The Bridge (Near Osgilath Plaza save point, you will see him on the
bridge as you climb the rubble)
Suggested Characters: Idrial, Hadhod (Equipped with Spirit Enhancement
Elfstone), Berethor, (Faramir)
Difficulty: ****
HP, AP, Vulnerabilities/Weaknesses: See first Gothmog battle

This is the most difficult boss fight yet, and one of the most difficult in
the game. It should be said here that when two of Gothmog's helper-orcs are
killed, he uses Black Gate to call more. If one is killed nothing happens
though. The first character to go (unless it's Idrial) should use Morgul
Decay item on Gothmog, entirely removing his armor. I will now describe what
each character should do on his turn (after this). Idrial: Use Frenzy/Aura of
the Valar to cover everyone, then when some die, repeat on them. If you get
an extra turn, use Valarous Haste to Berethor. Hadhod: On first turn, cast
Flames of Ruin, this will kill almost all the orcs but the point is to get
Gothmog to take some lasting damage. After this use Flaming Fury on Gothmog
or Stone Shield on anyone who is severely injured but not covered by Aura.
Berethor: Just KEEP AT IT. Use Double Attack then Gondor Rampage twice on
Gothmog. Faramir: Faramir is the useless one. I would suggest just doing
whatever you like with him, but maybe using Steward's Armor once, it wouldn't
make much difference. Eventually he will go down. Well Done. Be sure to save
after this.

Gothmog's the dude with bulgy, gross face right?

Thank you satsujin, I'm gonna try it tonight, but if i doesn't work, it's going out the window lol lol!

channel your anger into something destructive

Such as Mortal Kombat Deception!

Or, how about a computer!

Haven't had time to try it out yet, but when I do I'll prob fail.

Im up to some bit where you have to gather some elf scouts in rohan.

Haven't looked into the game, is it like Final Fantasy?

Thank you I defeated it FINALLY! but stuck on the second bit.

with the ringwraith captain.

help?

Maverick, yes it's exactly like Final Fantasy with the turn-based fighting and random encounters. It's LOTR meets Final Fantasy basically. Yet another game I can completely pwn in less than 24 hours....

Help with the Ringwraith captain, you mean when Berethor and Idrial are alone? I'll assume yes.

Have Idrial cast Frenzy and then Aura of the Valar on herself and Berethor. Use a Morgul Decay when you can and then have Berethor whomp him with Ecthelion Wrath (or Gondor Rampage if you have it). He'll fall pretty fast. Recast Aura of the Valar as needed and you can't lose.

no it's when idrial has been captured! it's berethor elegost and hadhod.

The Witch King of Angmar:

Where: Osgiliath Island
Suggested Characters: N/A
Difficulty: * to ***1/2
HP: 70,089
AP: 60,047
Vulnerable: N/A
Strong: N/A
Immune: Stun, Root, Sleep, Melee Bind, Ranged Bind, Spirit Bind,Slow.
The difficulty of this battle varies a huge amount depending on how much
you've worked on the two characters you can use (Idrial and Berethor). As you
first go in to fight the Witch King, just try to spend as little AP as
possible and let it be his turn as soon as it can be. (No, I'm not mad.) As
soon as it is his turn, there will be a cut scene involving Berethor pulling
a knife out from in him. (If it became Berethor's turn, you would have
noticed that he was immune to Berethor's attacks) and Berethor will now be
able to fight again. Since Berethor is immune to Fear, try to get Frenzy/Aura
of the Valar down before TWKA uses Fear on Idrial. After that, you're
basically invincible if you know how to do it right. Start attacking him like
mad with Berethor's strongest attack (Preferably Gondor Rampage, but you
might not have learned that if you haven't been using him) At the worst, you
should have Citadel Rage for this battle, and it takes about 10 times as long
but it's OK. If Idrial gets another turn before fear she gets 'Feared' use
Frenzy (AP is really no object since you won't have a turn with her soon
enough until she dies) then Haste of the Elves on Berethor and finally
Valarous Haste for Berethor. If Idrial is killed first (If you are good
enough, no-one should die) us Frenzy, recast Aura of the Valar on herself,
then Valarous Haste if Berethor is not going next, and if he is, use Haste of
the Elves on him if you haven't done so already. Otherwise, you have a free
move to bust. Keep attacking him with Berethor and eventually (or soon) he'll
die.
||Use Morgul Decay on the Witch King, using Double Attack and Ecthelion Wrath
(Gondor Rampage). Also, use Gift of Galadriel on Berethor with Idrial when
necessary and Aura of the Valar.||

The Witch King of Angmar (Second Battle):

Where: Near end of Minas Tirith
Suggested Characters: Idrial, Any, Any (Gandalf the White)
Difficulty: *1/2
HP, AP, Vulnerabilities/Weaknesses: See First Witch King Battle

Really really easy, but still a boss. Immediately with Idrial (Surprise) cast
Haste of the Elves on Gandalf. On consecutive turns, cast Aura of the Valar
on everyone. Just keep attacking with Gandalf for an easy victory with a
little aid from your other two characters. (Just use Valarous Haste with
Idrial whenever there is a turn you cannot use)

The Witch-King:

Where: Pelennor Fields, just after you fight the Mumakil
Suggested Characters: Idrial, 2 most damaging characters, (Eowyn)
Difficulty: *****
HP: 300,652
AP: 59,058
Vulnerable: Light, Blunt, Pierce
Strong: N/A
Immune: Stun, Root, Sleep, Melee Bind, Ranged Bind, Spirit Bind

In my opinion the Witch King (For real, now) is the hardest battle you will
ever fight. Now, off his Fell Beast, he has tons of armor, can counter any
attack, tons and tons of health, resistance to all effects, and very high
damage. Start off with your first character (if not Idrial) use Morgul Decay,
removing the Witch King's VERY HIGH armor. If it's Idrial's turn, use Frenzy,
Aura of the Valar x2. This will be a nonstop job for her throughout the
battle. In this battle, for starters, you will have to worry about Fear, so I
suggest including Berethor in your party. Note Fear will wear off if your
character dies or after a few turns. With your two highest damage givers,
start attacking the Witch King as quickly as possible with the strongest
attacks and using Frenzy or Double Attack. Eowyn is basically useless until
you use Morgul Decay, which should be immediately. At the start she can do
MAX 2k damage, afterwards a minimum of 20k so she can actually make an impact
on the battle. Just try to keep everyone covered by Aura and keep attacking
and eventually he will go down. BTW, if you have any lasting damage attacks
that are decent (i.e. Flames of Ruin with Elfstone of Spirit Enhancement-
equipped Hadhod) use those on your first turn.

Oh, you mean the separate Nazgul, well they're not too tough. Just have Hadhod use the attack that slows enemy attack rate (the name is escaping me). If you have Elegost in your party instead of Hadhod, have him do the same. Then just wail on him, easy.

ok i'll try, not enogh hrs in the day to play ps2 and do all my homework.

is there anything I can do to stop the attacks affecting me because I keep dying, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. run through it.

The best I can say is to just keep trying what i told you to do. I could only really help you more if I were sitting there with you giving instructions (like I do with my sister), but I'd just stick to what I said to do, it's never failed me.

so i use hadhod and elegost slowing melee attack (what the hell does melee mean anyway?)

Melee=swords/axes
Non-melee=bows

I can kill the first nazgul ut I can't the second. grrrrrrr

YES I'VE DONE IT, I'M NOT IN THE SEWERS, thats kinda confusing lol.

I mean I am in the sewers, well now I'm in Minas Tirith, Osgiliath has been the most complicated level so far, I dn't think Ive learnt nough skills.
