LOTR: War in the North Trophy Guide
|
|
The platinum trophy is acquired when all other trophies are unlocked. |
|
|
Simply revive a hurt companion by going near them and pressing X until the bar fills, or utilize War Cry to rally them to battle if you are playing as Farin. |
|
|
You will get this easily without any specific effort during your first playthrough. You can speed up the process by utilizing Area of Effect attacks often. |
|
| This trophy will be easily achieved during the Mirkwood level in Chapter 5. When surrounded by small spiders, use melee attacks and wait for a yellow icon to appear, then hit your heavy attack and move to the next target. If you do this rapidly you will earn the trophy. |
|
| This trophy requires that you slay an enemy together with two other players. It is supposedly online only, however I obtained it without a third player (Eradan was AI). The best place to attempt this is areas with multiple enemies where you can aoe together, or targetting a large enemy and scoring a last blow as a team. You will see co-op kill popup when doing it correctly. |
|
| The game has numerous secret areas and items. Andriel can unlock rune walls, Farin can identify weaknesses in walls and Eradan loot hidden caches. Playing as Farin you will get access to the Mithril secret location, so be mindful to play as him during the Mount Gundabad level. Open every hidden door you find and you will soon get this trophy as there are many more than 25. |
|
| Some armor, jewelery and weapons have upgrade slots that can be filled with Elf Stones. You will find the special upgradees in chests throughout the game. To slot them, go to your inventory and select the item, then apply to any gear that can receive it. Elf Stones cannot be unslotted or replaced, so chose wisely. |
|
| This trophy is easiest to achieve during the Mirkwood level (chapter 5.) You should trigger a critical hit when surrounded by spiders, then go on a melee killing spree, increasing your hit counter. Make sure to keep your block up and dodge incoming attacks so your hit streak is not reset. |
|
| This is easily achieved with an area of effect attack of a powerful magnitude. Farin’s explosive arrow and Andriel’s slow but deadly bolt are good choices. Best used against weak enemies like spiders. |
|
| This is a story trophy and cannot be missed. Simply slay the snow trolls in Mount Gundabad. |
|
| Each character has several abilities that use power and have different button combinations to use. Use your level bonuses to unlock all of them for one character for this trophy. |
|
| With every gained level, you obtain 1 skill point to apply to a skill. Some skills have three tiers that require three points. Simply upgrade any of these skills to the max and earn your trophy. |
|
| This trophy can be unlocked using crossbows during the machine war sections or by utilizing your devastating ranged skills (explosive arrow and burst of light) |
|
|
This trophy can be unlocked with any character if you have put points into strength and secured dual weild in Andriel’s case. Easily done on normal mode. |
|
|
To unlock this trophy, you must take 25,000 damage without blocking or dying. It is easier to do on legendary difficulty with a single ranged enemy. simply let it shoot you and break line of sight when you are low on health to regen. Being Farin helps with this as you have a larger morale pool, but it is achievable with any character. |
|
|
There are more than 15 quests in the game, however you may find some of them glitch (cult of lideless eye cannot be turned in after progressing to Nordibad) and some bug out and vanish. Read here for workarounds. You should talk to every NPC you can and obtain quests from them as often as possible to earn this trophy and good in game rewards. |
|
|
This trophy is unlocked my mounting a turret and killing enemies from it. There are several possibilities for this, starting at Fornost and throughout the game. It is easier to do on normal. |
|
|
This trophy is not easy and may require three playthroughs. You should identify and save all and any armor set pieces you find, and always check the stores for available pieces. Continue through the game collecting pieces and make notes of how many of each set you are carrying so you can identify when you have all. You can also trade for a set with other players online so making use of message boards to acquire a missing piece is an option. |
|
|
This trophy requires that you utilize your ranged skills to defeat enemies with headshots. Any of the three characters can do it. Simply aim with your ranged weapon and click on R3 to zoom in and lock onto the head. Bulls-eye and Headshot are the same thing. You can check your progress in your character’s stat history on the pause menu. |
|
|
Beleram is summoned by using one of the great eagle feathers against enemies (Mapped to X). Feathers are picked up from dead enemies and looted from chests. Use him ten times to unlock this trophy. |
|
|
To earn this trophy, you should unlock all skills that enhance Farin’s War Cry, Andriel’s Sanctuary or Eradan’s Evasion. You will need to level up quite a bit before you are able to do this, but it is achievable on the first playthrough. |
|
|
Level up to 10, easily done. |
|
|
Level up to 20. Most likely unlocked on second playthrough or during first one if you are making use of experience boost gear or potions. |
|
|
You should play as Andriel to find the ingredients to create potions, or trade them from another player online. Once done, create 15 potions (can all be the same) to unlock this trophy. |
|
|
This is a missable trophy. You must not call upon Belaram on your final fight with Agandaur. |
|
|
This trophy can be achieved easily. If you reach the last zone and have not unlocked it, replay some areas for extra enemy kills (mirkwood is good for this) and you should obtain it without issues. |
|
|
This is an easy trophy to get as you get more coins and valuable gear as you level up and increase difficulty. I ended my game with over 1 million coins just by selling unwanted loot. |
|
|
Gilded treasures are special chests. They look more robust than your average container and will have slightly better loot in them. There are more than five of them per playthrough and are readily visible at times, whilst hidden behind secret doors at others. Explore the environment thoroughly and you will find them easily. |
|

This trophy will unlock when you beat the game on normal. |

I actually liked this game a lot even if it was kinda piggy-backing on the success of the LotR juggernaut. Still was pretty fun to play especially co-op.
Nice guide, fexlea.
I loved this game. Good fun from start to finish. Plus, it’s made by the same guys that did the two ”Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance” games, which are among my all time favorites.
