Item Description ******************************************************************************* * 1. INTRODUCTION * ******************************************************************************* The Lord Of the Rings: The Third Age is one of the best games I have ever bought for the XBOX. I have completed the game in all three difficulties. I have experimented with the many ways to develop characters, but my favorite character has to be Morwen. Her ability to steal items from the enemy makes her one of the best characters to develop as fully as you can. In this FAQ you will find what items Morwen can steal from your enemies for each of the areas of the game. I have not included "Special" Items that she can steal from Boss encounters. Let's just say that if you are involved in a major Boss battle, you might want to try to steal from the Boss. Many Boss encounters have armor, weapons, etc. that can be stolen. *********************************** COPYRIGHT *********************************** I do not have a problem with this being posted on any site without my permission. If you include any of the material from this FAQ, I would appreciate credit. ******************************************************************************** * 2. STEALING * ******************************************************************************** After acquiring Morwen in Rohan, it is beneficial to travel back to the areas of the game that you have already completed. Many items can be retrieved from the enemies that you have encountered along the way. Doing this also allows you to build up those skills as the encounters that were tough in the beginning should now be much easier since your characters are much stronger and do a lot more damage. The main idea of traveling back is to steal the items you want from the random encounters while using your skills and building up your characters skill trees. NOTE: Boss encounters can only be completed once per game so they will not be available to steal from when traveling back. The Quest encounters also will not be available (i.e. Wild Men Quest in Eregion). In the sections below, I will list the name of the enemy and what item can be stolen from them next to their name. *********************************** 2.1 Eregion *********************************** Armored Orc Sword Veteran - BAG OF OLD TOBY Orc Archer Rabble - KINGSFOIL LEAVES Orc Lesser Captain - WATERS OF LORIEN Orc Shadow Chieftain - DEFY SHADOW PHIAL Orc Sword Warrior - LEAVES OF LEMBAS Starving Lesser Warg - SIMBELMYNE *********************************** 2.2 Western Moria *********************************** Albino Cave Warg - BRUINEN WATER Moria Goblin Archer Rabble - RUSTS OF MORIA Moria Goblin Shadow Chieftain - ELF MEDICINE Moria Goblin Sword Veteran - DEFY FIRE PHIAL Moria Goblin Sword Warrior - LEAVES OF OLD TOBY *********************************** 2.3 Eastern Moria *********************************** Cave Troll Rabble - ARNOR MUSHROOMS Moria Goblin Archer Rabble - DWARVEN ALE Moria Goblin Shadow Chieftain - ELF MEDICINE Moria Goblin Sword Veteran - LIMELIGHT WATERS Moria Goblin Sword Warrior - WATERS OF GLADDEN *********************************** 2.4 East Emnet Gullies *********************************** Armored Orc Archer - NOTHING Armored Orc Greater Captain - MORGAL DECAY Armored Orc Shadow Chieftain - LONGBOTTOM RALLY Armored Orc Sword Warrior - DWARVEN ALE Grizzled Greater Warg - DROPS OF VALINOR Hardened Greater Warg - VENOM OF DESPAIR Uruk-Hai Scout Captain - VENOM OF FORTITUDE Uruk-Hai Scout Veteran - SIMBELMYNE Uruk-Hai Scout Warrior - PHIAL OF VIGOR *********************************** 2.5 Rohan, Home of the Horse Lords *********************************** Elite Orc Archer - SATCHEL OF OLD TOBY Elite Orc Greater Captain - ELF MEDICINE Elite Orc Shadow Chieftain - ENTWIFE POLLEN Elite Orc Sword Veteran - DWARVEN ALE Elite Orc Sword Warrior - MAIAR EMBERS Grizzled Greater Warg - LONGBOTTOM RALLY Hardened Greater Warg - WATERS OF LORIEN Ringwraith Fell Beast Captain - SAURON BLOOD Uruk-Hai Greater Captain - VENOM OF FORTITUDE Uruk-Hai Scout Captain - VALINOR MEDICINE Uruk-Hai Scout Veteran - ARNOR MUSHROOMS Uruk-Hai Scout Warrior - WEAKENING DRAUGHT Uruk-Hai Sword Warrior - HUORN POLLEN Wild Man Sword Rabble - MARSH LEECHES Wild Man Sword Warrior - MORGAL DECAY ************************************ 2.6 Helm's Deep ************************************ Attack Troll Captain - HUORN POLLEN Attack Troll Veteran - RED MEAT RALLY Urak-Hai Archer - ENT DRAUGHT PHIAL Urak-Hai Berserker - MAIAR EMBERS Urak-Hai Greater Captain - MORGAL DECAY Urak-Hai Sapper - DEFY EARTH PHIAL Urak-Hai Shadow Chieftain - ELF MEDICINE Urak-Hai Sword Veteran - BAG OF OLD TOBY Urak-Hai Sword Warrior - HUORN POLLEN Veteran Urak-Hai Berserker - LONGBOTTOM RALLY ************************************* 2.7 Osgiliath ************************************* Attack Troll Shadow Chieftain - DWARVEN ALE Attack Troll Veteran - SLIME OF ORTHANC Grizzled Warg - SATCHEL OF OLD TOBY Mordor Orc Archer - HAUNTED DUST Mordor Orc Captain - VALINOR MEDICINE Mordor Orc Shadow Chieftain - TROLL PIT MUD Mordor Orc Veteran - THENGOL STONE Mordor Orc Warrior - SHELOB SLIME Ringwraith Fell Beast Captain - LONGBOTTOM RALLY Ringwraith Shadow Chieftain - ARNOR MUSHROOMS ************************************** 2.8 Minas Tirith ************************************** Attack Troll Captain - HUORN POLLEN Attack Troll Veteran - DWARVEN ALE Easterling Veteran Warrior - LEAVES OF OLD TOBY Easterling Warrior - RUSTS OF MORIA Mordor Orc Archer - HAUNTED DUST Mordor Orc Shadow Captain - VALINOR MEDICINE Mordor Orc Shadow Chieftain - TROLL PIT MUD Mordor Orc Veteran - THENGOL STONE Mordor Orc Warrior - SHELOB SLIME ************************************** 2.9 Pelennor Fields ************************************** Elite Easterling Veteran - LEAVES OF OLD TOBY Elite Easterling Warrior - RUSTS OF MORIA Elite Mordor Orc Archer - HAUNTED DUST Elite Mordor Orc Captain - VALINOR MEDICINE Elite Mordor Orc Shadow Chieftain - TROLL PIT MUD Elite Mordor Orc Veteran - THENGOL STONE Elite Mordor Orc Warrior - SHELOB SLIME Elite Troll Captain - HUORN POLLEN Elite Troll Shadow Chieftain - DWARVEN ALE Mamakil of Harad - DWARVEN ALE Ringwraith Fell Beast Captain - LONGBOTTOM RALLY ******************************************************************************** * 3.
