On this Path, you'll play the role of Samwise Gamgee as he looks out for his Ring-bearer and friend, Frodo Baggins. This Path begins in Osgiliath, continues through Shelob's Lair, and finishes in Cirith Ungol.
Available Heroes: Samwise Gamgee
Sam's journey begins as he flees Osgiliath with Frodo and Gollum. Your path in this level is fairly straightforward; head across the courtyard and up the stairs. Eliminate the Orcs in your path, and the wall will explode inward, allowing you to continue. Follow Gollum up the rubble, and a Nazgul will appear, along with a timer. Whenever Frodo is out in the open, the timer ticks down. Find him some cover, and your time returns to normal. Thus, your goal is to move quickly, dispatching enemies only when necessary.
Continue across the rooftop and down the ladder to the right on the other side. Proceed outside, and jog through the carnage and up the stairs into the building across the way. Climb the rubble once again, and imagine that the Orcs have come between you and second breakfast to aid your fury. Head outside and you'll hit a checkpoint. Climb the ladder, and you'll see the reason that you were given a checkpoint--the Nazgul has returned. Speed is of the essence. Sprint across the roof and into the tower. Let the timer count back to zero, and eliminate any enemies within reach before heading back out and sprinting the rest of the way across the roof.
Descend the ladder, and you'll find respite from the Nazgul once more. Climb the stairs, and send the bell tumbling down for a double-whammy--dead Orcs and a newly-created exit. Head through it, and the Nazgul is back again. Sprint across the roof for your toughest challenge yet--the path across is riddled with Orcs, and isn't as straight as the previous two. Make your way to the enclosed area across the roof and to the left, and let the timer count back down to zero. This next run is a long one; sprint out the other side of the enclosure, and continue pushing toward the next safe area, ignoring baddies whenever possible. Descend both ladders, and you'll find yourself in the city's sewers.
Keep moving forward, eliminating Orcs as they come at you. After a short while, you'll meet a decidedly anti-social Orc, carrying a rather large hammer. Take his friends out before you make him mad if possible, as he's tough enough for our little Hobbits on his own. Parry his blows, then pummel him with Fierce attacks until he starts taking damage, then switch to Speed attacks and combos to take him out before he can regain his balance and swing that hammer again. Once he's down, drink up and use the winch to lower the gate. Head through and out into the exterior of Osgiliath.
