Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Cheats
How to use these cheats
Button names refer to the Xbox controller — A, B, X, Y, the LB/RB bumpers, LT/RT triggers and the D-pad. Unless told otherwise, enter codes from the pause or options menu, or while playing. Some cheats disable achievements for that save — keep a separate save before you start.

Pause the game, hold L and R together and enter the following codes. A sword sound confirms correct entry. The first fifteen codes, covering the bonus cheats, the co-op cheats and the extra characters, only work after you have completed the game once. All of the character XP, skill and combo codes can be used at any time.
