Question
Hi gameuserper,
I have a question about ''The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age'', for PS2. One of the characters, Elegost the Dunedain archer, has a secret bow which he uses against the eye of Sauron in evil mode, and in a video of him using different attacks, and I imagine it's the most powerful one, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the game, nor it's location anywhere on th net, and it even says it's one of the unknown weapons. Can you help me please?
Thanks,
Mark

Answer
Mark, unfortunately I have never played this game, so I am not really the person to ask this question. But I will attempt to assist you as much as I can. Here are a few links to the gamefaqs site:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/game/920496.html

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/gentopic.php?board=920496

The first is the main page for this game on PS2. The second is for the board for the game where you can ask questions and get people to respond.

The two faqs you may want to look at are the weapon/armor faq and the only general faq/walkthrough there is. The bow is in the weapon section for that character.

Both faqs list this bow, 3rd Age Mordor Orc Shortbow, as being the most powerful weapon for Elegost. Whether or not it is a secret weapon I can't say. But it has nearly twice the damage stats of the next most powerful bow, so I would assume it is an ultimate weapon of some sort. It also lists where you can find any given weapon or armor in the game.

It is entirely possible that the characters get things in evil mode that are not available in the main game. But as I have not played this game, I cannot confirm this with any amount of certainty. I hope I have helped. I would suggest asking around to other experts if this info doesn't provide a solution for you.

Expertise

TOPICS I can answer questions about: Game Strategy, Recommendations (based on age or genre preference), History of a game, Recalling a game you played, Game music, Company or Creator info, and some simple system troubleshooting GENRES: My specialties are Adventure, RPG, Survival Horror, Action, and a small amount of Strategy and Puzzle. I avoid sports games like the plague, and have little interest in any racing games save for a few, F-Zero, Mario Kart and Wipeout being the main ones. Nor do I know many fighting games, mainly Bushido Blade and a few others. I am not much of a fan of First Person Shooters either. I am especially well versed in RPGs, particularly Final Fantasy and most of SquareEnix's other titles. GAMES: Not limited to the following. These games are series, and I know them all. There are MANY other individual ones. Feel free to ask and I will let you know if I can help you. Actraiser, Alundra, Breath of Fire, Bushido Blade, Castlevania, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Donkey Kong, Dragon Warrior/Quest, Drakkhen/Dragon View, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, King's Field, Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver, Mana, Mario, Mega Man, Metal Gear Solid, Ninja Gaiden, Metroid, Parasite Eve, Resident Evil, Rygar, Silent Hill, Spyro, Star Fox, Suikoden, Tomb Raider, TMNT, Wild Arms, Xenogears/Xenosaga, Zelda, and Zone of the Enders SYSTEMS: NES, Super NES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy Color, GBA, DS, PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP plus computer, but I'm not really a big computer gamer. Systems I plan on getting in the future are XBOX 360 and Wii U. I am also a big fan of emulators on the PC. I have many of the old 8-bit and 16-bit systems and ROMS for my computer and know a lot about them. These include NES, Super NES, Genesis, Turbografx, MSX, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and GBA.

Experience

I have been a video gamer for over 20 years. I started with the original NES way back in 1988 and have owned or played nearly every popular console since then. I have completed hundreds of games and played thousands. I have a large file cabinet filled with hundreds of hand-made maps, lists, and various strategies for many of the games I have conquered in the past two decades. I subscribe to 5 different game magazines to keep up to date on the newest stuff out there. I would officially call myself an expert on the subject of videogames. And if I don't know the answer, I can find out about it and direct you to someplace that does.

Publications
I have had three things published in Nintendo Power magazine as well as a piece of artwork. I also participate regularly on the GameFAQs forums. I am wanting to write FAQs for GameFAQs as well. I would also like to write columns for other video game magazines.

Education/Credentials
Experience with games baby, and lots of it. On the academic side, I am currently attending ITT Tech and am two quarters into an Associate's in Visual Communications. I will then be continuing for a Bachelor's in Video Game Design.

Awards and Honors
These are not academic awards. I am still working on those. These are video game related things of note about me. I do consider them honors as they are the most secret things in each of their respective games, and I am very proud of having found them. I am the discoverer of the Ryu Fireball in Megaman X, the Dragon Punch in Megaman X2, and the Golden Armor in Megaman X3. All three of those discoveries have appeared in Nintendo Power magazine. I have also broken the password systems for Megaman 4 and Megaman 5.
