Earn all of the other trophies to unlock this.

When one of your allies takes too much damage, they will fall to the ground and need to be revived. Stand over them and press the button to revive them.

See Bane of Mordor for more information.

When an enemy is weakened, a white/yellow arrow will appear over their heads. Press the button to perform a critical hit. Do this three times in 10 seconds to get the trophy.

The only ‘online’ trophy in this game. This trophy requires you to get a ‘Fellowship’ or ‘Group’ Kill on a single enemy. When an enemy is dazed (has a white or yellow arrow above their head), all three players will need to use their attack at the same time to perform a finishing move.

You discover secrets by breaking through a wall, following ranger footsteps. It is best to play each playthrough on a separate character to find more secrets and this should unlock on the start of your second playthrough. You can also choose to go back through a level with another character to get this in only one playthrough if you want.

Note that by a single playthrough the game means on a single save file, so you will have three playthroughs to get this if you are going for the platinum.

Elfstones are enhancements picked up from chests, barrels and enemies that increase the stats of items that have slots. Go into your usable item inventory ( after pressing ), find and elfstone and click the button to ‘use’ the item. You will then need to put it into an item that has a slot for this to unlock.

‘Hero Mode’ is activated after killing a dazed enemy (one with a yellow or white triangle above their head) with a finishing attack. Once you’re in the mode, you will need to perform a hit streak of 50. Taking too long between hits or getting hit too much will cause the counter to reset.

This can be done in any area with lots of enemies, but here are a couple of suggestions:
1) The ‘Fornost’ mission: Upon falling through the floor, you will enter a sewer area. A gate will open and a flood of goblins will rush you. Initiate hero mode on one of the first goblins and they will keep swarming you.
2) The ‘Lorien’ challenge mission: This is the preferred challenge mission to get this as there are no sappers, and there are a lot of enemies each wave.
3) The ‘Barrow-Downs’: After clearing out the first two tombs, you will defeat a Barrow-Wight and move into the third and final tomb. There are a lot of enemies here and you should be able to string together a 50 streak.

Note that you can use your arrows to hit enemies in between hits if they are not close enough to you.

Simply kill 4 enemies with one attack to unlock this. Each hero will have an area effect attack, usually + . Use this on a group of weakened or weaker enemies, such as hordes of goblins to unlock this.

Note that it may be better to do this on your second or third playthrough as you will do more damage and be able to kill the goblins in one hit.

See Relentless for good places to get this trophy.

Story related and cannot be missed.
When scaling Mount Gundaband, a wild snow troll will burst through the wall, and you will have to kill it along with 2 others before continuing.

Active-cast abilities are abilities that are used with the modifier (i.e. :L1:+). However, this trophy also requires you to unlock each of the (r2) abilities as well. Unlock each of these skills with any character to unlock this trophy.

For Eradan you would upgrade the following:
Left: Evasion
Middle: Ranger Strike, Dual Wield (x3), Dual Strike (x2), Cleave (x1), Assail (x1)
Right:Heavy Shot, Bow Master (x2), Stunning Shot (x2), Volley (x1), Piercing Shot (x1)

If you are still stumped, watch this:

Upon gaining enough experience, you will level up. Along with 3 attribute points to put into Strength, Dexterity, Stamina or Will, you will receive 1 skill point. There are 3 branches of skills, and you simply need to fill out one branch, one tier at a time until you can put 1 of your attribute points into the 3rd tier of skills.

The AI may unlock this for you as they will upgrade their character's abilities as they level.

Thanks to DarqueDragon for this info.

Use a ranged attack () to deal 3000 damage on one hit. You will most likely get this as you upgrade your stats on your first play through, but if not, it will be much easier on your second and third playthroughs. It works best to use Eradan for this trophy with high dexterity.

Use a melee attack to deal 1500 damage on one hit. You will most likely get this as you upgrade your stats on your first play through, but if not, it will be much easier on your second and third playthroughs. It works best to use Farin for this trophy with high strength.

This trophy requires you to take, or absorb, 25,000 points of damage in 1 level. You will have to go out of your way to get this by getting hit a lot and then healing or using health potions, then rinse and repeat. It is best to do this on your second and third playthroughs, but it can be done on your first it will just take longer.

See Relentless for good places to do this trophy.

Aside from the main quests, there are several other side quests in the game. There are 3 attainable in Bree, another at Sarn Ford (note that this Athelas quest can be failed if you don’t turn it in after you complete the Barrow-downs), 4 at Rivendell, and several others that will start along the way. Complete the listed objectives and return to the NPC’s to receive an award and get closer to the 15. This can be done on your first playthrough.

There are certain glitches in the game that may result when you turn your system off. Sometimes, the quests will disappear, and in certain occasions even talking to the NPC’s will not get the quest back. Try to play through a chapter at a time and turn in the quests either as soon as you complete them or right after you complete the chapter to make sure you avoid this.

Note that by a single playthrough the game means on a single save file, so you will have three playthroughs to get this if you are going for the platinum.

War machines are mounted crossbows that you will need to use several times throughout the main story, as early as Fornost. While you will most likely get this just by playing through the game, perhaps the best time to go for this is when you are protecting the dwarves at Mount Guldaband.

Certain pieces of armor belong to ‘sets’ in the game, such as ‘Fell-hunter’, ‘Marskman’, or ‘Alliance’. In order to get this trophy, you must equip a helmet, gloves, breastplate, legs and feet of the same set.

It’s very possible to get this through your playthroughs as long as you only sell your duplicate armor pieces, but if you are having trouble, try traveling between Bree, Sarn Ford and Rivendell and shopping at the vendors. Each time you visit these places they will have new items, and it is very possible to find that one item you are missing to unlock this.

Using ranged attacks, try to aim for the head of your enemies. The system is fairly generous, but I found it helpful to aim a little higher than you might in a first person shooter. You’ll know you got a headshot when you see ‘Bullseye’ or ‘Headshot’ on the right side of the screen.

Note that by a single playthrough the game means on a single save file, so you will have three playthroughs to get this if you are going for the platinum.

After rescuing Beleram at Fornost, there will be times when you are out in the open that you can summon Beleram by hitting :l2: + while aiming at a target. You will need to have a Feather in your inventory to do this, and you can get these from chests and barrels. There are several times you are required to do this, and to get this trophy you need to do it 10 times.

This is another attribute trophy. When you are leveling up, focus on putting your skill points into every skill that you see that modifies Farin’s War Cry, Andriel’s Sanctuary or Eradan’s Evasion (their + skills). You can also use a respec token, which is purchaseable from a vendor, to re-allocate your attribute points just for the sake of this trophy.

Straightforward. Simply gain enough experience to reach level 10. You’ll get this halfway through your first playthrough.

This is definitely an attainable trophy on your first playthrough, but don’t fear if you don’t get it. You’ll have two more playthroughs to go and levels carry over between playthroughs. You’ll most likely reach level 40 midway in your final playthrough.

While all characters have the ability to make potions, only Andriel has the ability to forage the ingredients to make these potions. Mirkwood is a good location to collect herbs, but they are attainable at Fornost and onwards. To make potions, go into your inventory to the items section and you will see a crafting icon (hammer and anvil) on certain elements. When you hit to use them, you will then need to select another item on the list to combine ingredients. There are several herbs than can be combined to make health potions, and underneath the combine menu it will tell you what result will be achieved my mixing the herbs.

Kill 600 total enemies in the game to unlock this trophy. By simply playing through your first time on Normal you will unlock this.

Simply collect 25,000 currency by looting barrels and chests and selling items and this trophy will unlock.

You need to have 25,000 coins in your wallet at one time.

Gilded treasure chests look like regular treasure chests but are colored and often found in secret locations. These chests can often be found by using the special abilities of Eradan (following the glowing Dunedain footprints), Farin (smashing through walls) and Andriel (using magic to uncover doors in walls).

The ‘Cult of the Lidless Eye’ is a side quest that starts in Fornost. Before you push the first of the two catapults off the side of the cliff, this scroll will be found on the enemy sorcerer. Pick it up, and upon arriving in Rivendell, talk to Elrond to activate this side quest.

The locations of the scrolls can be found on our sister site at:

Note that while you can go back to the same levels and get these scrolls repeatedly, going back and collecting the same scroll again will not result in a quest completion. Elrond requires 7 DISTINCT scrolls, and you may bug this quest and you will have to complete it on another playthrough.
