The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

So close...lol. I think I might just look up cheat codes just so I can finish it quickly to see if there is a clip from ROTK. I can always play it again "legally".

Nope, not musical. But I'm sure Dwarves can make anything musical!

What you do is parry while the tentacle are flinging around and when they go straight up in the air run to one and give it a chop. The tentacle will come down and the Watcher's head will rise above the surface long enough for you to shoot an arrow/throw an axe at its head.

Just keep doing that until it's dead.

Oh yeah, you need to stay pretty far in the water in order to reach the tentacles in time.

"It also seems that a short clip from the third film apparently plays if you successfully complete the Two Towers video game." I'm going home and finishing my game tonight dang it!

TORN talked about that the other day, but not having the game, it didn't mean much to me... I don't remember what the scenes were decsribed to be like, but it seemed equally possible that they were unused scenes from TTT as from RoTK... They were not sure.

I think she embellished the list a little!

Note it did not say "recorders"
