( A: Introduction )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Hello there and welcome to my walkthrough for Black Label Games,
Vivendi Universal Games and Surreal Software's
Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring.
I have worked hard to make sure that THIS guide is THE most
comprehensive one you'll ever find on the net.
(sorry if i sound too 'proud', one's gotta be proud of
their work to make it good right? )
So...let's continue shall we?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. A Little About Me
=====================
My name is Justin Ang and I'm a 14 year old teen from Singapore (as of the
time when I was writing the guide). My hobbies include:
Go - karting, typing this guide (Of course!), Rollerblading (In-line Skating),
swimming, Surfing the Net, playing online and offline games,
playing my Gameboy Advance, Harry Potter, Spongebob Squarepants, Star Wars and
playing my Playstation.
Let's move on shall we?
2. E-mailing Rules
===================
1. Do not e-mail me asking silly questions or irrelevant things, because,
chances are that your questions are answered in the guide.
2. If you have anything to say, comment, criticize or contribute anything at
all, you can e-mail me then. Full credit will be given of course.
3. If you put the subject as 'LOTR-FOTR' there is a better chance that I
will respond to you.
4. Any rude comments in the mail will be instantly deleted. Ok?
5. That's it...

( E. The Story )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
In ancient days, the elves created the magical Rings of Power.
They gave these Rings to the rulers of the Elves, Dwarfs, and Men,
that they might heal the hurts of the world. But the Dark Lord
Sauron forged the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom to enslave
the other rings.
In a great battle, the Free Peoples of Middle-Earth overthrew Lord Sauron,
and he lost his Ring. But now the Lord of the Rings has returned to his
Dark Tower in Mordor. And he needs only one thing to cover all of
Middle-Earth in a second darkness. He needs the One Ring.
When Lord Sauron lost the Ring, it was picked up by a Man, but he was
corrupted by the ring and died. The Ring was deemed lost, until Gollum
found it in the dark underground waters of the Misty Mountains. And
the most unlikely person took the Ring from him - Bilbo Baggins.
Now that Baggins has returned to the Shire from his perilous journey to
the Lonely Mountain, he passed on the Ring to his adopter heir to the
Bagginses: Frodo, son of Drogo.
Now Frodo must embark on a dangerous journey to destroy the One Ring, before
the Dark Lord can take it back. And it can only be destroyed in one place:
The fires of Mount Doom in Mordor, where it was created.
Before the Dark Lord takes it back.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

Offensive Spells
`````````````````
Fiery Blast Shoots a ball of fire at a single target 5 Spirit
Lightning Goes from ememy to enemy. Stuns the Balrog Boss 15 Spirit

enemies in the area will attack that target
4. Meters
==========
Each Character has three meters (except Aragorn, who only has two.).
I will explain them now.
Primary Meter - Coloured Green. This is the Health Bar. Watch it during
combat!
Secondary Meter - Coloured Blue.
For Frodo, this is the Purity Meter. With each
use of the Ring, Frodo is corrupted by it. When the bar empties
completely, the game is over. Purity increases when you meet certain people,
or do good deeds.
For Gandalf, this is the Spirit Bar. Each spell requires a
certain amount of spirit. When the bar is empty, Gandalf can't
cast spells.
Stealth Indicator - A round meter below the health bar. When the meter is
white, the character is successfully sneaking. When
the meter turns yellow, an enemy nearby is alerted of
the character's presence, but has not seen you yet. When
the indicator is red, prepare to fight, because an
enemy has detected you.

( H. Enemies )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
(In order of appearance)
(Bosses explained in the walkthrough)
Black Riders - Very difficult. Found in the Shire. Sneak by them or
distract them by throwing rocks.
Wolves - Fairly Easy. Found in the Shire, Barrow Downs and Bree.
By themselves, you should be able to kill them easily.
Spiders - Hard, especially when they attack in groups. Found in the Old
Forest.
Ghosts - Easy. Found in the Barrow downs. A bluish sorta colour.
Lead them back to your campsite and fight them within the
boundary, cos they can't enter it. Later just avoid them.
Men - Medium, if you know Aragorn's techniques. Found in Bree.
Wargs - Medium. Found in Weathertop and Troll Shaws, Amon Hen.
Black and look like huge rats. They're rather short,
so attack on the same level as them or below.
Orcs - Medium. Found in Weathertop, Troll Shaws, Hollin Gate, Moria,
Orc Dam and Amon Hen. Much easier to kill than Men.
Archers - Easy. Found in Weathertop and all areas after,
except Rivendell and Lothlorien. Approach by
zig-zagging, or use ranged attack.
Trolls - HARD!!!!! Found in Weathertop (boss), Troll Shaws,
Orc Dam and Amon Hen. Attack and run before they attack.
Ringwraiths - Hard. Found in A Knife in the Dark. See
walkthrough for more details.
Cave Trolls - HARD!!!!! Found in Hollin and Moria. Look like normal
Trolls, except they're made of rock.

13) Meet Merry, Pippin and Sam at Farmer Maggot's Farm
14) Avoid being detected by Dark Riders!
==============================================================================
_________
( Bag End )
You'll start in one of the inner rooms. Walk out to the main hallway and down
the corridor with many passages leading off it. In chest in the bedroom here
is the deed. Now head back to the main hallway and walk to the exit.
The key is on the table. Pick it up and exit Bag end.
__________
( Hobbiton )
Get as many mushrooms as possible (Items that sparkle can be picked up).
When you leave Bag End, you'll see Samwise (Sam) Gamgee. Talk to him and he
will tell you to meet Meriadoc (Merry) Brandybuck and Peregrine (Pippin)
Took at the Green Dragon Inn at Bywater. Explore Hobbiton and head for the
bridge to Bywater.
Talk to the hobbit near the bridge (Ted Sandyman), and he will ask
you to look for a Metal Pin. From here, turn around and walk until you see
an arch leading to a farm. Talk to the farmer (Hal),
and he will ask you to unstick his weathervane.
Climb up the ladder, go into first person. Aim the crosshairs at
the center of the vane and throw a rock at it. Now talk to farmer Hal. He
will reward you with a Metal Pin. Give the pin to Ted. Then head across the
Bridge to...
_________
( Bywater )
Go through the arch and past the maypole. Take the chance to look at the
buildings. The one with the green dragon on a barrel at the front wall
is the Green Dragon Inn.
Enter and talk to Merry and Pippin. They'll ask you to meet them at Farmer
Maggot's later at night. Now, exit the inn, and walk past the farmer's market
until you get to a hobbit hole with a woman hobbit (Lobelia Sackville-Baggins)
in front of it. Talk to her and she'll ask you to ring the Warning Bell
(the bell in the middle of the square). Ring it and go back to Lobelia.
Now the game asks you to go back and get the Ring. but do not go yet. Look for
and arch around you somewhere and head out to Green Hill Country. (If you end
up in Hobbiton, WRONG WAY!!!) Talk to the old man on the bench here
(Old Noakes). He'll ask you to find four Kingsfoil (the inventory names
it as healing herbs). now continue along the path to...
____________________
( Green Hill Country )
Go across the first bridge and wade into the small pond to your left.
There is a Kingsfoil and a mushroom on the other side. Cross the second
bridge (the one with the hobbit on) and go down the hill
(If you meet up with rocks, you're going the WRONG WAY!)
Follow the path through the trees until you see a hollow log to the right.
Behind the log is a Kingsfoil and two mushrooms.
Now continue up the path into Farmer Maggot's farm.
There are two fields here, each field has a kingsfoil and two mushrooms.
Now enter the field with the hay and hide behind the hay.
Throw rocks to distract the dogs. It's no
big deal if you're caught, just start again. When you get the herbs,
return them to Old Noakes and get back to...
_________
( Bag End )
Get the One Ring from the chest in the other bedroom and save before
leaving the house.
It's time for the most dangerous part of the Shire.
_________________
( The Dark Riders )
It is recommended to try this part out first.
Do NOT go out of your way to collect mushrooms!!!!!!!!!
Remember to save often in this part (F2). When you approach the Gamgees' place,
you'll see Gaffer Gamgee talking to a Black Rider.
You will then walk up and talk to Gaffer Gamgee. After the cut scene ends,
turn to your right immediately and RUN until you get
to a small hill. You should fall in front of a hobbit hole with a boulder in
front of it. Hide behind the boulder (the side facing the hobbit hole) and
SAVE. Now go closer to the back of the boulder. Go into first person (F),
turn to your right and throw a rock over the small hill. You'll see a
darkness approaching you. Wait until it passes and then RUN down the path,
ignoring the arches until you come to the bridge to Bywater.
Slow down here and SAVE. Now from here, you can go 2 ways:
1. Jump over the low fence to your right and SNEAK to the river.
From there turn around and throw a rock down the way you came as
far as possible. Once the Dark Rider has gone, SNEAK to the bridge and
across it. It's safe to run at the other side of the bridge.
2. SNEAK further down the path and up the ramp near Sandyman's Mill.
You'll end up in a back porch. Go into first person and throw a rock
down the path the way you came. Once the Black Rider has gone, SNEAK down
the path, towards the bridge and across it. It's
safe to run at the other side of the bridge.
________________________________
( Bywater and the Wolves attack! )
Enter Bywater and you will see Shirrif Robin being turned into a late night
meal. Kill the wolf and talk to Robin. Then go down the road to Green
Hill Country. A pack of wolves will come towards you. Run, or use
the Ring (NOT reccomended) until you enter Green Hill Country.
_______________________________
( Green Hill and the Dark Rider )
Now go down the path to Farmer maggot's farm until a cut scene comes up.
Then SNEAK behind the hollow log and collect the 2 mushrooms. SAVE.
Then SNEAK around the log to the side facing the rider (at the same end
of the log) and throw a rock straight ahead.
IMMEDIATELY SNEAK BEHIND THE LOG AGAIN!!!!! Wait until the Dark Rider passes,
then SNEAK to the other side of the log. go around to the side with the
dark rider (gulp) and throw a rock down the path as far as possible.
DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT let the rocks richochet off anything! When the
dark rider goes off, SNEAK down the path and across the bridge into maggot's
farm SNEAKing all the way until the quest log updates. Now a cut
scene will come up and you can get a cup of tea and some rest, and say
goodbye to the Shire!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
______________
// \
(( THE OLD FOREST ))
\______________//
Character Order: Frodo only.
Difficulty level: Fairly easy. But the boss can be a challenge.
<< QUESTS >>
==============================================================================
1) Find Merry
2) Find Pippin
3) Find Sam
4) Find 12 lilies for Goldberry
5) Return the 12 lilies to Tom Bombadil
6) Find the missing hobbits
==============================================================================
_______________________
( The Forest Labyrinith )
This whole part is really confusing, but just walk around until you hear a
shout. Explore around the area nearby until you find them. Also,
the trees move around here. When your path is blocked, just move back
until the tree is out of sight and when you go back, the tree is gone!
__________________
( Withywindle Path )
Very straightforward, just follow the river until a cut scene appears.
____________________________
( Boss Fight: Old Man Willow )
Old Man Willow has decided to eat Merry and Pippin and it's up to you to
save them. DO NOT go outside the barren ring or you'll get hurt.
And DO NOT, for any
reason whatsoever, hit the tree trunk! Merry and Pippin wil die if you do.
Run around the tree until his wooden fist comes crashing down.
Hit the fist and run! Repeat this so called 'hit-and-run' process for
about 10 hits or so and Tom Bombadil will come and put the tree to sleep.
Now you will need to find 12 lilies for Tom. Each lily is guarded by a
spider, so run from it. When you get all 12, find Tom
(He's prancing around near the river somewhere)
and he will take you to his house.
__________________
( The Barrow Downs )
Now you'll have to go and look for Merry, Pippin and Sam (again).
Remember where your campsite is. If you encounter any ghosts,
run back to the campsite and fight them in the boundary, for they cannot
enter it. Later just avoid them. The barrow you're looking for is the
one with a crow sitting on top of a pretty tall, kinda round
at the top rock. Approach it and a cut scene will come up.
______________________________
( Boss Fight: The Barrow Wight )
At the start, you will notice a chest and a mushroom on top of a ledge.
Get to the chest and you'll recieve a Westernesse Dagger (you'll need
it for this fight). Now for the boss.
The Wight will spit green smoke at you and it hurts! Keep running around
it and once you hit it, run back to the ledge where you got the dagger
and wait. A good strategy is to jump from the ledge and run a long
distance away, and then turn and hit the Wight by charging at it.
Then run back up the ledge and repeat. Repeat this for about 5-6 times
until Tom Bombadil comes and bails you out. Enjoy the cut scene!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
____
// \
(( BREE ))
\____//
Character Order: Frodo, Aragorn
Difficulty level: Medium.
<< QUESTS >>
==============================================================================
1) Check in at the Prancing Pony Inn
2) Search the Village of Bree for Merry
3) Collect Clothes
4) Collect Small Logs
5) Collect Hay Bolster
6) Collect Melons
7) Return to the Prancing Pony Inn
==============================================================================
__________________________________
( Checking in to the Prancing Pony )
Once the cut scene finishes, go into the back and find a room with a lot of
people in. Go to the tall man in the corner (Aragorn). He will ask Frodo
(Sorry, it should be Mr. Underhill) to check in with the landlord.
Proceed to the front counter and check in. Then return to Aragorn.
_______________
( Finding Merry )
Note: You are now Aragorn.
Once you gain control, explore the village. Merry is in one of the small
rooms near the gate. You'll meet an axe man on your way there.
Once you find Merry, a cut scene appears.
___________________________
( Searching for decoy items )
When you have control again, explore more around that particular area
to get the required items. You will encounter several wolves.
When you're done, head to the stable near the Pony and kill the men that
are trying to make the stable boy squeak. When they're dead, enter the
stable and get the hay.
Return to the Pony and a cut scene will appear.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
__________
// \
(( WEATHERTOP ))
\__________//
a.k.a. Amon Sul
Character Order: Aragorn only.
Difficulty level: Medium. But the boss can be a pain.
<< QUESTS >>
==============================================================================
1) Reach the summit of Weathertop
2) Protect Frodo from the Nazgul
3) Scout ahead to clear a path for the hobbits
==============================================================================
_____________________
( Heading up Amon Sul )
Be careful not to fall off the ledges! When you begin, follow the path up
and kill as many Orcs and Wargs as you please. The Orcs drop Cram when
defeated, and it's highly useful. When you reach the summit, prepare to
fight.
_______________________
( Boss Fight: The Troll )
You are all alone.........
Keep moving and walk up to him and slash him to bits. When he warms up
for an attack, run away and hit him from behind. Repeat until the troll
dies.
_______________________
( "A Knife in the Dark" )
Now Frodo has been stabbed by the Ringwraiths' blade and you have to
stand guard over him. They will come one by one, or sometimes two,
but not more than that. Hit one a few times with the torch and it
will retreat. Do not run away from Frodo to kill them!
They will not die. Instead, stay around him. When there is no
Ringwraith near, collect a Lembas near the fire, cos you'll need
it. Keep them away from Frodo and eventually, they will go away.
_____________
( Troll Shaws )
Go along the path until you encounter enemies. Let the trolls take
care of the Orcs and Wargs, then murder the trolls. The trolls will
be slightly easier as your party can help. Clear
the way of all enemies and you will end up in Rivendell.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
_________
// \
(( RIVENDELL ))
\_________//
Character Order: Frodo only.
Difficulty level: N/A. A rest level for you.
<< QUESTS >>
==============================================================================
No Quests
==============================================================================
This is a break. Watch the cut scenes and talk to every Fellowship member
if you wish. Then enter the room and Bilbo will give you Sting and Mithril
Mail.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
_____
// \
(( MORIA ))
\_____//
Character Order: Gandalf, Aragorn, Gandalf again, Frodo, Gandalf.
Difficulty level: Hard. The boss is also very difficult.
<< QUESTS >>
==============================================================================
1) Find the Gates of Moria somewhere near the lake
2) Find safe passage through Moria
3) Escape the 21st Hall
==============================================================================
________________________
( Searching for the Gate )
You'll start out as Gandalf without the rest. Learn to use spells as you
will need to later. Fight if you want, although, I don't reccomend it.
Follow the river until you get to a lake. Go around the lake until a
cutscene comes up.
_________________________
( Boss Fight: The Watcher )
Note: You are now Aragorn.
While Gandalf figures out the words (taking the easy job as usual),
you will have to fight. Start by moving as far back as possible,
and go into first person. Shoot arrows at each of the tentacles.
Each tentacle takes about 4 to 5 hits. Submerge
4 tentacles to continue.
________________
( The Labyrinith )
Note: You are Gandalf again.
One thing: The camera has a tendency to go bonkers in areas with low
ceilings
(i.e. you can only see the ceiling)
Now you are trapped in the mines. Pick up the two bottles of Miruvor
near the fire and now the only way out is to slash smash and spell
your way through the Mines of Moria. You will use your sword a lot here,
so practice! Gimili will also help you out here.
When you gain control, Head up the stairs, occasionally zig zagging.
Get to the end of the stairs and pull the switch (a bucket kinda thing
near the door) by pressing E. Just go on in cos there aren't any Orcs
here. Pull the switch near the other door here. Enter and go left and you
will meet up with more orcs. Juice em' up. Go back to the door and head
straight this time. Kill the archer and you will be faced with a choice.
The path closest to the door from the previous room leads to a lone bottle
of Miruvor. The one furthest away leads to the rest of the mine.
Proceed down the path to a bridge and dice up the orcs. Cross the bridge
and kill everything in sight. Enter the next room and kill all the orcs
again. Go straight across the room and the door will open by itself.
Mince the orcs and enter the room, turn left, then right and you will
have a choice of 3 passages. The path straight ahead is the correct one.
Proceed and turn right. Stand on the gray square in the center of the room
and you will descend to a lower level. Leave the room and head up the stairs
to your right. You can now head down four paths. Take the one on the right
and continue. Remember to kill everything in sight. You should now be in a
room with a well that has a bucket hanging above it. Head out the only
door you haven't been through yet. Beware of the chasm in the middle.
Enter the room across the chasm and the fellowship will take a short break.
Open the door opposite you. There is a door on your left that is to be
opened with the switch next to it. Do not open that door yet. Go through
the door you just opened. And head through the door on the other side of
the room. Pull the switch at the end of the ledge and a bridge will
extend. You can still control Gandalf here, so do not touch anything
while the bridge is being extended. Leave the ledge, pass through the
door and turn to your left. A cut scene will come up and Legolas will
say that the fellowship is being followed. The camera will show Gollum,
this has nothing to do with the game though.
Then cross the bridge in front of you. On the other end, you'll run into
some orcs and (gulp) a cave troll. Run around the Troll and let it
kill the orcs if you can, or just stand afar and kill them with spells.
When the troll dies, go to your left and pull the switch. Another bridge
is extended. Retrace your steps and go to the door that you didn't open
earlier. Now open it. Cross the bridge and mash the orc. Go right into
the closed door. A cut scene appears.
____________________
( The Three Passages )
Cross the bridge and kill everything in sight. Enter the hallway and run all
the way to a wall. You're in for a rough time so be prepared. Move right,
right again, left, left and right and pull the switch in front of the
door. The Fellowship will take a break here. Pippin will throw a rock
down the well (the usual idiocy of him), and when you have control again,
head through the passage on the right. Now climb up the path and dice all
the orcs and open the door on the right and barge on into...
_______________
( The 21st Hall )
Do not fight the trolls. Concentrate on finding your way out. Push the 4
small pillars in the center of the area onto the switches and the trolls will
be history. A new door opens. The easiest way to find the new door
is to follow the one stream of blue light from the statue in the center. Go
down the hall and turn right into Balin's tomb. Enjoy the cut scene.
______________
( The 2nd Hall )
Note: You are now Frodo. Also, do not fight any orcs except the archer at
the top where the small pillar is. You'll probably kill yourself.
Go up to the pit and go around the right of the pit. You will come to a
small space between two platforms. Jump over them and Over another set until
you get to a fallen pillar leading up. Go up and kill the archer, and push
the small broken pillar down. Make a leap of faith after the pillar
(if you have full health)
or retrace your steps. Then push the pillar onto the switch and a new door
will open. Now, go back to the start of the room. There is a broken bridge to
your left. Pull the switch beside it and cross. Keep going, avoiding the orcs
all the way, until you reach a ladder. Climb up and follow the path until you
get to another ladder leading down. This is a good save point, as it's pretty
easy to fall down by accident. Climb down (or bunge down) and pull the switch.
Then head the other way and a bunch of orcs will appear. Wait until they all
get over the plank then run around them and flee to the door.
___________________________________
( Boss Fight: Durin's Bane (Balrog) )
Note: You are Gandalf.
Save before you start. Heal yourself and switch to lightning. Approach the
Balrog by dodging left and right when it shoots fire and move forward
between blasts. You can't fall off the side so don't worry. Also, Aragorn
will give you Miruvor when you are low. Do not get too close to the Balrog or
he'll hit you with his sword, and the game ends. Get in range for a spell and
stun it with lightning. When he's stunned, walk up to him and slash him 2-3
times with Glamdring. Then back up and repeat the whole process until a cut
scene comes up.

_________
( Orc Dam )
This part is very straightforward, just kill every single enemy in sight.
__________
( Amon Hen )
The final part. You can get the Xiphiidae here. If you want it, skip to the
correct section first. Frodo will follow you around, so he'll be some help.
Go straight and kill everything in sight. Keep going until you see two
trolls and a pack of wargs. Let the trolls squish the wargs then you squish
the trolls. Once they're all dead, go to a pile of rocks. A troll will come
crashing through. Squish it and go up the steps, killing all the wargs.
Then turn left and kill the archers with your arrows. Then jump down and
kill the troll. Keep going until you get to a bridge. A cut scene will
appear and you are now Frodo. Hide behind the rocks until 2 Uruks pass,
then go up the hill, avoiding Uruk-Hais as you go. When you reach the top,
control will switch to Aragorn again. Follow the same path you took with
Frodo, but do not fight if you can help it. When you reach the top,
a cut scene will appear and the final battle begins.
______________________________________
( Boss Fight: Nazgul and his fell beast)
Note: My game always will not open a save file that is up to the final
boss. You should save a file at the beginning of Amon Hen just in
case.
You will begin the battle. Avoid the green flames by zig-zagging and go
up to the dragon and slash it and slash it and slash it...Sorry, got
carried away. Just keep slashing until a cut scene comes up and the
dragon goes airborne. While the dragon is flying around, find and collect
a Lembas nearby. You'll need it. Climb the stairs in the middle of
the arena and stand a little back from the back of the throne so that
it shields you from the flames. Then go into first person and shoot
the dragon about three times when it comes directly above you. Then
Legolas will shoot the Nazgul's fell beast right in the head
and the game is over as the dragon hits the dirt.

Congratulations! You have officially beaten the game!

( J. Xiphiidae )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
The Xiphiidae may be a fish, but it's the best weapon in the whole game.
You can get it at the start of the Amon Hen level as a bonus.
Here's how to get it.
When you begin, Follow the shore a short distance to a rock wall. then go
inwards till you come to a warg. Kill it, then walk up to the cliff face.
you will see a figure walking away and mumbling. Turn and follow the mountain
until you get to a rocky road leading up. turn left at the end and you'll
see that same figure again, mumbling his head off. Then go back to the
shoreline and go the other way until you get to a cliff that's half in
and half out of the water. Look up towards the bushes and you'll hear
a scream. Go back up the shore and kill all the orcs and wargs. Then when
you get to the part with two archers, kill the one nearest to you but
do not jump down to kill the other. Kill him with your arrows or just
ignore him till later. go up the small hill on the part where the
first archer was earlier, then you should see a fallen log going across.
Cross it and a cut scene will come up and you will discover the figure
is Gollum and he will talk about presentsssesss for you. He will disappear
into the Falls of Rauros and a fish will hit Aragorn's face.
When you gain control again, draw your sword. It will be the fish.
It is pretty powerful, it kills archers in one hit, wargs in two,
Uruk-Hais in three and trolls in four, and makes the final boss a bit
easier. But to think Anduril is replaced by a fish...
The very idea amuses me...
