First you must find the Blacksmith's Recipe for each bow, then craft it in the Blacksmith's in Bree. They cost 8 Mithril Bricks each.
Mithril Fire Bow
This can only be attained in Freeplay on the mission "Helm's Deep".You'll need either the Berserker character or the Mithril Fireworks to get this one. Once the wall is breached, climb it and use Gimli to destroy the barricade to the left. The recipe is inside a Mithril box just behind it.
Mithril Ice Bow
This can be found on the mission "Cirith Ungol". As you're pushing a pillar with one of the characters past windows with wooden boards on them, make sure to stop at the first one. Behind it is the recipe.
Fire bow - It is found in the Helm's Deep level after the wall is broken go to the left to see a crate of mithril crate use either beserker character or the fire work item to break it.
Ice bow - Can be found in Cirith Ungol once you enter the court yard there is a platform to the left side that can be moved allowing you to reach 3 borded up sections the design is behind one of them.
Once you have both go the Bree and craft them in the blacksmith (you will need 16 mithril bricks to build both or 8 for each).
The Fire and Ice Bows are Mithril Items that give extra powers to your bow attacks. To unlock this trophy, first find the Blacksmith Design Recipe for the Mithril Fire Bow in the “Helm’s Deep” level and the Mithril Ice Bow in the “Cirith Ungol” level, then go to the Blacksmith in Bree and craft the items which cost 8 mithril bricks each.
For this achievement, you'll need to find the designs for two Mithril items and forge them.
The design for the Fire Bow is found in the eleventh story chapter 'Helm's Deep' after you topple all of the Urak-Hai ladders, behind some Mithril Brick that must be destroyed by Berserker or the Mithril Fireworks.
The design for the Ice Bow is found in the fourteenth story chapter 'Cirith Ungol' near the end of the level, when you're searching for orc armor for Frodo and Sam.
Both bows cost 8 Mithril Bricks each to craft/forge, so this achievement will set you back 16 Mithril Bricks. Once you forge both Mithril items at the Blacksmith in Bree, the achievement will unlock.
