I know, I know, but I keep telling you. Physical attack won't push him over the edge until he staggers, and then flails his arms as if losing his balance. This is the ONLY time when he is vulnerable to knock off the cliff's edge. I've tried it every other way, with all manner of combos and attacks. He is impervious to any of them. ONLY when he loses his balance can you smack him. Then you stab him, and he falls off. Only then does he lose health. THe thing is, he won't lose his balance when we play co-op! Does no one understand my plea? My plight?

He won't lose his balance unless you use the speed attack on him. Or isn't that working either?

Yeah I had to go to Gamefaqs.com to find out how to beat him yes you use a quick attack while he's on the edge then he goes all tippytoe and then you push him

I had no problem killing Gollum in co-op. But my strategy is to just swing swildly, so I suspect luck had a bit to do with it. If you don't succeed, go back and play Southern Gate again and slaughter Uruks and Orcs as long as you like. It helps, beleive me (I couldn't beat Pellenor and I got all angry, so I killed my beings!).

I didn't think it would work...but it did! I completed the Crack of Doom in co-op! Thanks you guys! I didn't know speed attack made him lose his balance. In Single, it must have been the computer-controlled other hobbit that wound up making him lose his balance! Now we can do the Palantir levels with co-op! Cheats on levels! Gandalf and Pippin during the battle at Gondor!

Thanks y'all! *Draws sword* FOR GONDOR!! YAAAAGH!

No, in single player, you're still doing all the work, but congrats! To Gondor! Now that that problem is out of the way, does anyone else have any other questions? If not, this thread will get dormant fast!

As a matter of fact I have a question. I've just started playing in single mode. I haven't played TTT and FOTR before this, so I know nada about this kind of games. But even I can see that something is wrong when in Paths of the Dead and Road to Isengard I'm controlling Sam! I should be controlling Aragorn in PotD and Gandalf in RtI, am I right? Is there a problem with my game then? Will it ever change?? It's really difficult to get past the Road to Isengard when you're a hobbit
