1. INTRODUCTION
******************************************************************************
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Middle-earth! I'm CyricZ and this is
my guide for LEGO Hobbit, the video game, in particular the PC version. In
this guide, I walk you through the story missions and describe to you how
to find all the collectibles you may be missing in the game.
While this guide was made with the PC version in mind, it should also work
just fine for the PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX One, and Wii U versions as well.
******************************************************************************
2. FAQ
******************************************************************************
Q: What is LEGO The Hobbit?
A: This is a LEGO-styled action game released in 2014 based around JRR
Tolkien's The Hobbit book, and the Peter Jackson movies that were made
from said book.
Q: What is the ESRB rating of this game?
A: This game is rated E10+, with the added descriptors of Cartoon Violence
and Comic Mischief.
Q: Would this game be good for my kids?
A: If they enjoy Lord of the Rings, I'm sure they'd like this. All violence
is done to LEGO bricks, so there's no blood. Anything that was a little
too scary about the movies has been toned down. As far as positive aspects
of the game towards kids, the gameplay is focused on exploration, discovery,
and critical thinking. The co-operative gameplay style and forgiving
difficulty are also a plus.
Q: Is this game voiced?
A: Yes, the game features lines from the Hobbit films, delivered as they
were in the movies by their original actors. It also features some original
voice acting by non-Hobbit actors on a smaller scale.
Q: How many people can play? Is there online play?
A: Two, and no.
Q: What's new about this game compared to the recent LEGO games?
A: Much is the same as it was in LEGO Lord of the Rings. Characters travel
through Middle-earth between story missions and will find many side
quests as well. Characters will also still have inventories. New things
added to this game are craft plates (which also appeared in LEGO Movie)
and the concept of loot, which you get in addition to studs and is used
towards crafting.
Q: Can I save in the middle of a Story Mission?
A: You can. At certain special points in missions, you'll see what are
called Save Statues. They allow you to stop the mission and quit, then
start the game up again in the same spot.
Q: I'm lost! How do I find where I'm supposed to go?
A: The next story mission is always marked by a faint blue stud trail on
the ground. Follow it to where you need to go. This can also be used in
conjunction with the map to track any other object that's marked. Select
the marker on the map and select "Set Destination" and you'll get a trail
of yellow studs to it.
Q: Can I get quickly around Middle-earth?
A: Once you complete the story mission "Out of the Frying Pan", you can
go to the map and select Eagle Markers and Gwahir will fly you to that
spot.
Q: How can I pull open orange handles? No one in the game can!
A: There are two ways. One is via a large character like a troll. Tom
the Troll is probably the easiest to pick up. The other way is by picking
up an item that gives strength, like the Stone-giant Gloves found in
"Over Hill and Under Hill". You can also just make and use a custom
Troll character.
Q: How can I get rid of shiny mithril bricks blocking the path?
A: You need some form of explosives. Items such as the Pine Cone Bomb,
Mithril Bomb Blade, and Mithril Firework Bow will all work.
Q: How can I deal with bricks that emit black smoke? My characters just
seize up near them.
A: You need a Morgul weapon. Characters such as Sauron and the Wytch-king
carry these weapons.
Q: How can I change the time of day?
A: Once you complete the story mission "Flies and Spiders", you can use
campsites dotted around Middle-earth to change the time. Certain quests
are only available at certain times.

================
3C. Hints/Tips =
================
My first advice is to go through the story before you seriously attempt to
collect objects. The game kinda railroads you and cuts you off from
important characters while going through the story, so just relax and enjoy
and worry about collecting stuff later.
Smash freakin' everything. Lay waste to any LEGO objects in the area and
rack up that stud total. Use special attacks holding down B to demolish
clusters of objects quickly.
Keep collecting studs. Collecting a specified number in each mission will
give you "Master Burglar" status at the conclusion of it. Once you hit the
threshold, you cannot lose it, no matter how low your studs gets afterwards.
Explore everywhere. Run into walls and behind them to look for any areas
you might be missing. Big value studs are hidden in places where you can't
normally see them.
Look out for visual cues to see how you can progress in a mission. Look for
soft glows next to dirt piles where Fili can dig, for example, or floating
leaves for where elves are expected to jump.
Collect Minikit Chests to assemble a little piece of Middle-earth. While
you can't use these, they can be viewed in a special room in Rivendell. For
completing a Minikit, you'll get 50,000 studs, except for the last one,
which gives you 500,000.
There are many things around Middle-earth for you to find, including Mithril
Bricks, Side Quests, and Blacksmith Designs. Keep an eye on the map for
things to look for and don't be discouraged if you can't get to them right
away. You'll be able to later.
===========================
3D. Abilities and Weapons =
===========================
Like every other LEGO game, each character will have a specific set of
skills that they can use throughout the game. Some of these skills will
be tied to innate abilites, others to the items they carry. Here's a
breakdown of what you can use in this game.
Crawlspace -
Dwarves and hobbits can crawl through specially marked little tunnels,
which connect to other tunnels elsewhere in the area. Taller characters
can't use them.
Examples: Bilbo, all dwarves
Axe Smash -
All dwarves are armed with axes that allow them to smash cracked blocks.
Similarly, anyone who picks up an axe can do the same.
Examples: All dwarves
Buddy Moves -
While controlling a dwarf or hobbit, press B to pair up with another
dwarf or hobbit and move together. Pressing X will allow the two to do
a Buddy Attack. Buddy Attacks can smash larger cracked blocks and can
also be used against boss enemies.
Examples: Bilbo, all dwarves
Hammer Pound -
A character with a warhammer can use it to push large square items that
sit on smooth tiled flooring.
Examples: Dwalin, Thráin
Flail Grab -
A character armed with a flail can attach to gold hooks, and either pull
on them with B or swing from them with X. Also, the swinging can be
targeted by holding down X.
Examples: Dori
Mining -
A character armed with a pickaxe can mine from ore deposits in missions or
in Middle-earth. There's a minigame where you need to hit between the
two markers to successfully mine loot from them. If you hit square in the
middle on the small colored section, you'll finish the deposit and get
maximum return from it.
Examples: Bofur
Fishing
With a fishing pole, a character can fish off marked wooden piers. A
small minigame requires button pressing in order to pull up your prize.
An extra stud reward is granted if the buttons are pressed at the right
time.
Examples: Bilbo
Bow and Arrows -
A character with a bow can, in addition to shooting far off targets, hit
circular red and yellow targets to affect the area.
Examples: Kili, Legolas
Digging -
A character with a shovel and dig on brown LEGO dirt piles to unearth
what's beneath, and they can also plant green seedlings that sit on dirt
piles to grow them.
Examples: Fili, Sam
Firestarter -
A character with a tinderbox or a similar item can light fires at certain
brown panels. Oftentimes in missions you'll be given a torch that will
serve the same purpose.
Examples: Sam
Dwarf Stack -
A dwarf with a pole weapon can stand on small green spots, and other
small characters can climb up them to reach higher ledges. Multiple
dwarves can be stacked if each has the ability.
Examples: Óin, Nori, Bifur
Sling -
A character with a slingshot can fire at diamond-shaped red and yellow
targets, either to fill up a bag to weigh down, or to turn a colored
wheel to input a code.
Examples: Ori
Belly Bounce -
Bombur has the unique ability to lay on picnic blankets. Another character
can then give him food loot items and he will expand, allowing bouncing
up to a higher ledge.
Examples: Bombur
Light -
Some characters can light up a dark cave once they enter it. Any wizard
will light up a cave with their staff. Torches and other items can also
be used in this manner.
Examples: Gandalf, Radagast
Wizard's Staff -
A wizard can shoot magical blasts out of their staff. These blasts can
destroy blue brick objects.
Examples: Gandalf, Radagast
Climbing -
Goblins and similar creatures can climb on walls marked with nets by
jumping into them.
Examples: Goblin (Confused)
Wraith Bricks -
By wearing the Ring, Bilbo can turn invisible and interact with faded
"wraith" objects in the area, either by smashing them or assembling them.
Examples: Bilbo (once he gets the Ring)
Elf Agility -
Elves have the natural talent for higher jumps than men. They can also
swing from poles in the wall, and they can balance on ropes, allowing them
to jump from them.
Examples: Legolas, Tauriel
Animal Healing -
Radagast the Brown has the ability to heal animals taken by a dark
sickness with the crystal on his staff. Look for animals with purple and
black bubbles coming out of them, then press B near them.
Examples: Radagast
Strength -
Large characters can grab big orange handles and pull them apart.
Examples: Any large character, any character with Stone-giant Gloves
Explosives -
Certain items cause objects made out of shiny white mithril to break
through explosives.
Examples: Mithril Bomb Blade, Mithril Firework Bow
Morgul -
Certain evil characters are armed with Morgul weapons that can destroy
Morgul bricks: objects that emit a black smoke that repels most characters.

4. STORY WALKTHROUGH
******************************************************************************
Like most LEGO games recently, the game begins right in the first mission,
so let's get going!
======================================
4A. Greatest Kingdom in Middle-earth =
======================================
Master Burglar at 130,000
Characters: Thorin (Young), Thráin, Armoured Dwarf Guard, Balin (Young),
Dori (Young)
---
Walkthrough -
Erebor! -
We begin our tale in the throne hall of the Mountain King. You are in
control of young Thorin and an unamed guard Dwarf. Head down the stairs
to find Thorin's father, Thráin. Smash the statues flanking the closed
door to make pieces. Hold B to assemble these pieces into an unassuming
block. Now, hold Y to access the Character Wheel and switch to Thráin.
Press X next to the block as Thráin and he'll mash it with his hammer,
sending it into the wall. This will open the door and let you proceed.
Head down the stairs to the end. Smash the wheel switches next to the
closed door to find a rock. Pick up the rock with X, then hold X and
throw the rock at the statue above. You'll be able to proceed through
the next door.
You're now in the appraisal room. The task is to pull on two levers to
open the back door. Hit the block on the left with Thráin, then have
each character climb up on either lever to open the door.
Next is the forge. Bofur just finished a nice pickaxe and has just left,
slamming the door behind him. You'll need to forge something to follow
him. For this, you'll need to gather some "loot". Smash everything in
this room to pick up diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds. Also, behind
the ruby cart is a crawlspace. Press B next to it to crawl through.
Mash B to turn the crank on the ledge and you can now access the box of
gold. You should now have all you need to go to the anvil and press B.
Follow the prompts for the forging mini-game (remember those for later)
and you'll make a Gem-Forged Key. Go over to the lock and press B to
open the door.
You're now in the mine area. Bifur is here, looking for his flute.
Of course, it's pretty obviously on a table nearby, but humor him and
grab it, then hand it to him by standing in the glowing ring and pressing
B. He'll now be on your team, along with his pickaxe. Use it to smash
the ore deposits to the left. To get the most loot out of the ore, hit
the first strike on the colored part in the very middle. You can also just
hit between the yellow lines and you'll be fine. Once you're done with the
ore, smash other objects in the room until you have some rope, wood, and
stone, then assemble the pieces under the ore to make a Craft Plate. On
these, you'll have to use loot to make Super Builds. To perform a
Build, you'll have to select the next object that it prompts you to
select. If you do it fast, you'll get the most studs. If you screw it
up or take too long, you'll get fewer studs. You first have to match
two pieces, then three, then four. This will create a mining rig. Lower
yourself on the rig and smash some ore deposits to move the story along.
A Fire Drake from the North -
Oh no! It's Smaug! You now have control of young Thorin, Balin, and Dori.
First, switch to Dori and press B in front of the fallen pillar to attach
his flail to it. Mash B to pull it apart, then proceed to the right.
Next, you'll smash a cracked block, which any of the dwarves can do, then
to smash the bigger cracked block, press B near any of the dwarves to
buddy up. Press X with the pair in front of the block to do a Buddy
Attack which will smash it. Next, pull down the wreckage with the flail,
then move on down the stairs. Buddy up again and smash the large
cracked block on the ground, then proceed down the stairs to where the
amassed dwarf forces are waiting
Oh, that could have gone better. Now you need to chase after the king.
To open the door, first assemble the pieces for the gold hook so Dori can
pull that rock down, then assemble those pieces. Head over to the obvious
warhammer on the left and use it to slam the block into the door.
In this shiny shiny room, head to the back and flail down the giant gold
statue. Climb it, then smash the two gold boxes to find pieces to finish
the bridge on the right. Cross it, then note the hanging gold hook. Hold
X (or press X) to target the hook and have Dori grab onto it. Switch
characters with Y and use your other character to jump onto Dori, then
have each jump off on the far side. Climb up the ramp and have both
characters jump onto the hanging chandelier to pull it and the king down.
Erebor Was Lost -
Not much here except running. Watch for studs and minikits as you go,
though.
---
New Characters: Thorin (Young), Thráin, Balin (Young), Thrór,
Armoured Dwarf Guard
Available for Purchase: Bilbo (Old)
---
Middle-earth Interlude:
New Characters: Frodo, Sam
Well, bet you didn't expect these guys to make an appearance! Head right
up to Bag End to start the next mission.
=========================
4B. An Unexpected Party =
=========================
Master Burglar at 70,000
Characters: Bilbo (Hobbiton), Dwalin, Kili, Fili
---
Walkthrough -
At Your Service -
Having thoroughly enjoyed the great Christopher Lee on the narration, we
can now pay attention to this party here. Smash the chest in the back
right to find the key to the back door. Through the door, smash the
shelf on the right, then assemble the pieces of the tile floor so Dwalin
can smash the hutch to the right. Head further back and the bell will
ring again.
Balin now joins the squad. Head to the left and smash open the cracked
block on the door to open the way to the dining room on the far left.
Smash the back left shelf to find the pieces to finish the Craft Plate
so you can build the dining room table. Oh, there's the door again!
With Fili and Kili, you can now go back to the pantry. Your task is to
grab three food items and bring them to the table. First, the sausage
is easy if you switch to Kili and shoot the nearby target. Next, the
cheese is on the shelf on the left further back. Lastly, the wine is
on the very back shelf, so smash the cracked block.
That's What Bilbo Baggins Hates! -
This is just a fun little rhythm game where you match the button when
it fills the circle. You can hit the button at any time after it appears,
but you get a bigger stud bonus if you hit it just right.
---
New Characters: Bilbo (Hobbiton), Bilbo, Gandalf
Available for Purchase: Tom Bombadil
---
Middle-earth Interlude:
Bilbo and Gandalf are off on an adventure! Follow the stud trail to the
edge of Hobbiton. Use Gandalf's staff to shoot a magic blast at the blue
sparkly cart to move it out of the way, then continue through Bywater,
and then to the north of Bree. You can't enter the town yet, but keep
moving along the road to join the company.
======================
4C. Azog the Defiler =
======================
Master Burglar at 25,000
Characters: Bilbo, Óin, Nori, Bifur, Thorin (Young), Dori (Young),
Dwalin (Young), Balin (Young)
---
Walkthrough -
The Tale of Azog -
Before we jump into the gritty tale of Azog, let's first find an apple
for one of our ponies. Also, Óin is with you for this. First, go to
the little green pad in the back. Press B when controlling Óin and he'll
stand on it to start a Dwarf Stack. Switch to Bilbo and run into Óin to
hop onto his head, then jump off him to the next ledge. Here you'll find
Nori, but you'll also need to get Óin up to this level, so head to the
right and start smashing stuff to find pieces for a ladder. With both
dwarves up here, stack both of them together, then have Bilbo hop off the
top.
Smash the rock to the right to open the crawlspace so the other two
dwarves can join you, then axe smash the cracked block. Assemble the
ladder and have two characters pick up each end, then head to the left so
it can be placed. Cross the ladder and you'll find Bifur, who can also
stack. Stack all three dwarves so Bilbo can get up to the tree with the
apple. Carry it back down to the pony.
The Battle of Azanulbizar -
Well, this is a change of pace! You now have control of Young Thorin,
Dori, Balin, and Dwalin. Smash ten orcs to begin with, then the line
of dwarves will part, allowing you to pass to the next area. In this
area, beat up five silver-armored orcs. Next, an Orc Berserker will come
out with a siege tower. Buddy up and use Buddy Attacks on the Berserker
to defeat him. After that, buddy smash the wall on the siege tower and
two orcs with gold armor will pop out. Beat them, then assemble the
gold hook onto the top of the tower. Use Dori to pull it open, which
will release two green-armored orcs with bows, so deal with them. A second
siege tower will come out, so deal with it the same way, only this time
there are three of each type of smaller orc. Once they're all in pieces,
head through the gap in the lines to the back-right.
Now it's time to face Azog himself. Engage him in a button mashing
fight, then he'll hop up to the left ledge. Smash the broken pillars,
then use Dwalin to push the rock towards the back. Hop up and fight
Azog again. He'll hop to the back now, so go to the right and have Dori
pull down the gold hook so he can hop up. Smash the rocks and assemble
another hook so Dori can swing across, then
---
New Characters: Balin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dori, Dwalin, Fili, Kili,
Glóin, Noir, Óin, Ori, Thorin, Dori (Young), Dwalin (Young)
Available for Purchase: Bombur (Young), Thrór (Armoured), Orc Berserker
---
Middle-earth Interlude:
So you now have access to the entire Dwarven Company. You can hold Y to
bring up "Extra Characters" and switch between any of the fifteen members
of the company. Head along the trail and down the hill. Have Dwalin
knock down the pillar so you can proceed to Weathertop, then head south
to a carpenter. You'll engage in a side quest here and will have to
build a bridge to cross. You'll need some wood, rope, and stone to do so,
so I hope you've been collecting a bit at least. Cross the bridge once
you're done and you'll start the next mission.
==================
4D. Roast Mutton =
==================
Master Burglar at 50,000
Characters: Bilbo, Ori, Fili, Kili, Thorin, Balin, Dwalin, Bombur, Bifur,
Bofur, Óin, Dori
---
Walkthrough -
Official Burglar -
Note that you're moving slowly for this section. Head up the path and
over the log. One of the trolls will note something amiss, so shoot an
arrow with Kili at the nearby target to distract him. Head to the right
and over the log, then switch to Bilbo and have him fish at the pier to
distract the second troll (hit the button prompts as they appear, or
wait until the hook line covers the circle for a bonus). He'll pull up
a crab, so grab it and toss it at the trolls' pot.
Continue back to the corral and smash nearby objects to find pieces for a
sling target for Ori. Switch to him and hit the sling target three times
to open the corral door. You will free one of the ponies, so head back
to the left and over the logs, past the now broken barrier. Switch to
Fili so he can dig at the pile of dirt, then take the rock and throw it
at the pot. Now, continue to the back, smash all the objects and assemble
the sling target, then switch back to Ori and sling it.
Troll Fight -
Things just got exciting. Although you seem to have just Thorin and
Kili, you've basically got just about everyone who's in this scene.
You can just switch to them on the wheel and they'll hop of the troll
they're pounding on.
Anyway, for the first troll, head to the right and smash up the objects
until you uncover pieces for a catapult. Shoot the target on the
catapult to stun the troll, then do a Buddy Attack on him. You'll
immediately engage the second troll in a button mash. Once you win,
you'll stun him for another Buddy Attack. The last troll will jump
back behind the fence, so shoot the target above him when he's under
it to drop the nest on him.
Playing For Time -
You're now controlling Fili and Bombur. First, smash the table to free
Dori. You'll also grab his flail, so use it on the left hook and pull
down the crates. Head further lift and dig Thorin out of the ground, as
well as a crank. Use the crank on the cage to free Kili and you'll get
his bow as well. Go to the far right of the area and shoot the target
on the boxes to free Glóin. Assemble the pieces to make a craft plate,
then use it to make a series of slides to free Óin. Finally, switch
to Gandalf and hold B to use his super attack.
---
Available for Purchase: Tom (Troll), Bert (Troll), William (Troll),
Mrs. Troll
---
Middle-earth Interlude:
Now, take the Company and head north to the indicated spot. Shouldn't
be difficult. There's a craft plate that you'll need gold, copper, iron,
and wood to assemble a key, so get searching through the area if you
don't have enough. Buddy up to carry the key to the door.
=====================
4E. The Troll Hoard =
=====================
Master Burglar at 65,000
Characters: Bilbo, Gandalf, Thorin, Bombur, Ori, Dori, Radagast, Dwalin,
Bofur, Fili, Kili
---
Walkthrough -
Blades and Borrowed Things -
The idea in this area is to find the three super great weapons for your
main characters. We'll take them in turn.
Glamdring - Near the entrance, smash a box to find pieces for a ceiling
hook. Have Dori attach to it, then have another dwarf jump onto him.
This will uncover a cracked block, so axe smash it to knock the chest down.
Have Gandalf open it.
Orcrist - Head to the far right and switch to Bombur. Press B on the
picnic blanket and he'll plop down onto it. Change to another character
and press B near Bombur to feed him, then have Dori bounce off his belly
to reach the upper ledge. Climb up the ladder and smash the objects to
find pieces of a hook. Assemble it and pull the stalactite down to
uncover another hook. Swing across to the left and smash the objects
in front of the crawlspace. Have Thorin crawl up and open the chest.
Sting - Have Gandalf enter the darkened back part of the cave. He'll
use his staff to light the way. Smash the area to find pieces for a
sling target. Switch to Ori and have him hit the target to drop a bunch
of pieces. Assemble them into stairs, then have Bilbo climb the stairs
and open the chest.
Being Hunted -
Radagast has joined you, as well as several warg scouts. You cannot
defeat the wargs themselves, only chase them off momentarily. What
you need to do is take Radagast to each of the five rabbits in the
area and press B to use his magic crystal on them to suck the darkness
magic out of them.
#1 - Right in the middle of the area.
#2 - The front right of the area, near a stump.
#3 - In dirt on the left side of the area. Use Fili to dig it up.
#4 - In the back left of the area on a ledge. Go to the back and clear
up the tiles, then hammer pound the rock to the left and climb up on it.
Chase the warg that's up there around the area, then smack him to make
him drop the rabbit.
#5 - Up a tree in the back right. Have Dori pull down the gold hook, then
assemble the craft plate. Find the copper, rope, and wood in the area
and assemble the platform, then push the rotator switch to raise up
the platform and lower the rabbit.
The Hidden Pass -
Okay, this might be a little weird, but this part is split up. If you're
playing co-op, one of you will be Radagast on the sled, the other will
be the rest of the crew. If not, you'll have the option of switching
between the two groups, but you may as well stay on Radagast for the
time being. Ride to the orcs and press X to fight them. Mash the
button prompts to de-warg them, and do so for three of the riders.
Going back to Gandalf and the boys, blast the hanging blue rock and axe
smash the cracked block. Go up the ramp and buddy smash the cracked
wall at the end, then head further right. Have Kili shoot the two
targets to drop a gold hook. Assemble it onto the rock and pull it
down, then hop over to the far side.
You're now fighting a rider with a rather obvious standard on his
back.

High Pass -
You have access to the entire Company in this mission, but at the
moment, you're split into two teams. The point of this section is to
reunite them. First, on the upper path, head to the right and axe smash
the rocks, then smash the objects to find a crank. Use a dwarf stack
beneath the platform and climb up and use the crank to lower a package
to the lower team.
On the lower team, head to the right and use Dori to flail open the
package. Assemble the plank and cross. Smash up some rocks and assemble
an anvil to clear the rocks on the upper path.
With the upper team, head right and watch out for falling rocks. Assemble
the pieces into a cracked block and smash it. Switch back.
Head across the fallen rock and continue to the right. Buddy smash the
back wall and climb up the rock that falls. Continue all the way to the
right and smash all the wooden items to make pieces for a box hanging
from a rope. Switch back.
Continue on the right with the upper team and use Dwalin to hammer the
minecart out of the way. then move forward along the cliff. Dwarf
stack at the green spot and turn the crank at the top to wheel up the
package. Assemble it into a craft plate, which will allow you to make
a lightning rod with gems I hope you were collecting on the way here.
When it's complete, head to the right.
A Thunder-battle -
Man, things are just so complicated on this adventure! Climb up the leg
and move to the left. Smash one of the big rocks to find a smaller rock
that you can throw at the green to find pieces for a railing that will
let you climb up. Continue up and to the left. Hammer pound a minecart
out of the way, then axe smash a cracked block. Continue to the left.
At the ledge, have Dori grab onto the hook and have another person hang
from him to pull down the box. Use it to assemble the ladder, then smash
a nearby rock to find a small rock. Carry it up the ladder and toss it
at the greenery to get pieces for railings again. Climb up, and then
move to the right when the giant's arm connects to you. Keep going right
until the giant moves its arm again and smash the cracked block that
appears.
For the last part, simply follow the button prompts.

Walkthrough -
Riddles in the Dark -
One of the fun things about these adaptations is trying to force ways
for two characters to be on screen when the original work says one
character is alone. In this case, you've got a confused Goblin on your
side apparently willing to help.
So smash down the barricade and head to the back. Uncover the
crawlspace on the left, head through and smack the weight to drop the
skeleton. Pick up the skull and throw it at the indicated point on the
rocks, then assemble each set of rocks into a ledge. Climb up and head
further back. Switch to the Goblin and use him to climb up the netted
wall, then hop down the back side of that ledge and smash the fence so
you can assemble a plank bridge for Bilbo. Continue further into the
back. Smash everything at the end, grab a skull off the bones and throw
it at the hanging box, then assemble everything into a craft plate.
Build the catapult, then hop in with one character and have the other
hit the catapult to launch him into the barrier, allowing you into the
back.
Now, you're dealing riddles with Gollum. First, smash everything in the
area until you can build a mountain. Second, assemble the broken pieces
into a wall and have the Goblin climb it, then have it smash the objects
on the ledge so you can assemble a wind propeller. Attach the crank and
turn it to solve that riddle. Lastly, take the rock and use it on the
left to knock down pieces of a crawlspace. Crawl through it and smash
the bones to make a ladder so the Goblin can climb up. Have both
characters hang from the chains to dump pieces for a craft plate.
Assemble it into an hourglass for the last riddle.
The Great Goblin -
Now back to our friends the dwarves and a boss fight with the Great Goblin.
For the first part, defeat ten orcs and then switch to Gandalf when he
shows up and do his super attack. For the next part, you'll need to
damage the Great Goblin. Wait for him to get a box and raise it over his
head with an obvious target on it. Shoot it as Kili, then buddy attack
the GG. For the second phase, the box will have a gold hook on it for
Dori to pull. For the last phase, the box will have blue sparkles on it
for Gandalf to blast.
Escaping the Goblin Tunnels -
This next part has you running through paths and switching teams on the
fly. Move to the right and hop across the gaps in the bridge. At the
end, hammer pound the cart, then move further along the bridges. Blast
the blue piece of wood with Gandalf, then use two dwarves to grab the
wood and charge through the goblins. At the end, turn the crank to
raise the bridge and run across.
You're now with a different team. Go to the right and down the ramp.
You'll now see three sling targets with colors on them. You'll need to
set the colors to green-red-blue, the same colors that are on the flags
above, then cross the platforms. Smash the cracked block near the
barrels, then move down and use a flail to pull the bridge back down.
Continue down the bridge and cut the ropes holding the nearby platform
up, then grab the ladder with two dwarves and move it into place. Cross
the ladder, then climb up the next one.
Back to the first team, head right and grab the torch. Set the ropes on
fire to release the swinging platform. Jump on and fire arrows at the
two targets to lower the barrier, then jump off and continue right. At
the end, pick up a crank and assemble the mechanism, then use both to
raise the bridge and move on.
You're on a third team now. Head to the right and Dwarf stack Bombur
up to the ledge. Fight off the goblins that grab you and you'll end up
underneath a platform. Smash the barrels on the left to get the other
team access to the right, then use the craft plate to make a crank
mechanism. Turn it to turn a platform, then push through the goblins
to the right.
Now back to the first team. Head right and magic blast the boulder
above the goblins, then axe smash the crack to set it rolling. Run
after it and all the way to the end.
Now, it's time for one final face-off against Double G. This is pretty
simple, though. Wait out his attacks until he stuns himself, then
buddy attack him three times.

A Clifftop Attack -
For this part, all you need to do is run and collect stuff on the way.
Climb the Trees -
Go to the back left and axe smash the tree to find gold hook pieces.
Use them to pull down the rock on the right to uncover a crawlspace.
Crawl up and use Dori to swing from the hook, then get Dwalin to grab
onto him and jump across. Hammer pound the rock to create the way forward
and a way for those behind to catch up.
Smash up rocks in the second area to find a small stone, then throw it
at the nearby tree to dislodge pieces for a railing. Start climbing up
the tree. Once you reach the top, the tree will tip and you'll switch
teams. Use Kili to shoot the targets as you climb, then have Bifur
stack at the end so you can reach the top.
You'll then crash into the last team of Óin and Glóin. Throw bombs
at the wargs to chase them off. Take one set of four, then another
set of four.
..Into the Fire -
Now to face Azog. First, press X near his warg to latch on and use
button prompts to knock him off. Once Azog is off his warg, chase after
him until you can use button prompts to fight him like you did in the
mission prior.

and they'll fly off. Smash the flower pot near the side door to get the
key moving, then go to the hive on the left side of the house, assemble
the hook, then pull the flower pot down with Dori. Fire a magic bolt
at the now blue hive to destroy it. Head to the right and swing from
the branch with Dori, then have another dwarf jump onto him to toss the
key onto the roof.
To get up to the roof, assemble the red parts of the fallen hive into a
picnic blanket and have Bombur sit on it. Feed him, then bounce up to
the railing, which will pull down a ladder. Climb up and walk over to

Head to the back and smash objects to find a green pad for Nori and Bifur
to stack on. Send Dwalin to the top and have him hit the rock to dislodge
a platform up and to the right. Head along the trunk and down the path.
Continue down and to the right until you reach a barricade. Shoot Ori's
sling to the right two targets to flip them, then cross with Bilbo. Have
him fish off the pier, then light the torch at the fire, then light the
barricade.
Head up and smash the objects around the statue to find wraith pieces.
Have Bilbo use the Ring and put them together to put tiles on the floor,
then have Dwalin slam the statue to the right. Have Ori sling the
platform on the water to rotate it, then hop onto it and rotate it again
so you can hop over to the next platform. Use the Ring to put together
the pieces, then sling this platform to rotate it, allowing you to go
right and join the rest of the Company.
It Stings! -
So things got a little hairy just now, but you've got an advantage in
the Ring. Put it on and stab the first spider. The next spider has a
gold hook on him. Switch to Dori and tap X to get out, then flail the
spider to pull it down, as well as a bridge. Head across and cut Bofur
and Thorin loose, then assemble the gold hook and pull it down off the
wall to open a crawlspace. Crawl through and head to the right,
swinging across the gap. Stab the next two spiders, then cut Ori and
Fili loose to lower a spider with a hook. Attach to it and swing, then
have Bilbo jump on as well so both make it to the other side. Stab the
spider as Bilbo, then crawl up the crawlspace and free Kili.
Oh yay. The Elves are here. The objective here is to get up and
save Fili, Kili, and Bombur, and you'll need the elves for all three.
First, jump up the back at the leafy marker to find Bombur and a spider
to deal with. Second, go to the right, smash stuff to find pieces for a
gold hook, then pull it down with Dori. Climb up with an elf and
cross the rope to find another spider and Kili. Lastly, use Bilbo to
smash the wraith statue on the left, then assemble the socket on the
tree. Fire an arrow at the socket, then flip up as an elf to Fili and
the last spider.

Escaping the Woodland Realm -
First thing you need to do is find three more barrels for the remaining
dwarves. Head to the left and smash the table, then assemble it into a
craft plate. Use it to make a weapons rack, then take a bow off it.
Now, go to the right and find a switch you can hang from to release a
barrel with a target. Shoot it.
Next, smash the keg to the left to knock the gold spigot off it. Toss
the spigot at the gold winch in the background to drop the second barel.
Lastly, go the dining area in the back and make a mess to uncover a bunch
of wraith pieces. Assemble them as Bilbo, and then grab a nearby torch
and light them on fire to release the last barrel. Roll all three to the
other barrels.
The Elven Gate -
Go to the nearby pier and jump out the barrel. You're weaponless at the
moment, so start punching orcs and one will drop a Goblin Axe for your
troubles. Head up the stairs and beat up all the armored orcs, then a
second set of armored orcs. Lastly, axe smash the cracked block to knock
down the archer and get a bow. Use the bow to shoot the target above the
gate itself, which will clear the aisles. Head to the lever for the gate
and have press B to pull it.
The Hunt for Dwarves -
In this next area, simply wait for orcs to attack, then use the button
prompts to defeat them.
The following area sees you with Bombur in a whirling death barrel. Head
along the path to the blockage, then axe smash it.

The Lake-town Armoury -
You'll start outside. Go to the left and smash the boxes, assemble the
green pad, then stack all the dwarves with Dwalin at the top and head
inside.
You'll need to find five weapons in here. First, smash the barrows
nearby and assemble the rest of the tile floor. Use Dwalin to knock the
large fire pit over to the crank, then turn it to light it up. Grab the
nearby torch, ignite it, then head to the dark area. Light the torch
in that area, then smash the weapons rack to get a sword.
Next, you need a way to get up to the top. Go to the right and smash
stuff to assemble a craft plate. Use it to make a catapult, then set a
dwarf in the basket and use another dwarf to launch it, giving you a
ladder to the upper area.
From here, you'll need to find the other four weapons. Here they are in
turn:
</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
Spear: Have two dwarves pull either rope at the back, near the top of the
ladder.
Bow: Buddy Smash the cracked wall, assemble the ladder, climb up and
pull the gold hook off the wall with Dori.
Shield: Go to the right and use Ori to open the door with the sling target.
Sword: Go the left and push the rotator to turn the windlance, then pull
the gold hook to fire it, cross the rope, and use Kili to shoot the
switches on either side of the door.
Kili Is Sick! -
You'll need to chase down the pig with the Athelas. Head to the right
to find three animal pens. Spoiler alert: the pig is always in the
last one you check. To open the left pen, go to the boat in the foreground
and smash up stuff to find pieces for a ladder. Carry it to the green
pad, then climb up and push the rotator. For the center pen, use Fili
to dig up the crank, then place it on the mechanism and use it. For the
right pen, grab a rock from the basket and throw it at both cages of
fish on either side of the pen. Now you must fight the pig!
Defending Esgaroth -
Now for a proper battle! Take out eight orcs, then fight off Bolg with
button prompts. Next, climb up to the ledges, cross the ropes and the
poles, and start chasing Bolg to the right. Set arrows in poles and
flip across them, sliding down the roof, going further right. Beat up
some more orcs, then fight Bolg again. He'll escape, leaving ice floes
behind, so cross them to the boat and have each elf grab part of the
sail so you can chase him. After landing, fight the remaining orcs,
then fight Bolg once more.

The High Fells -
Head up the stairs and have each wizard grab the green ropes to drop the
pieces for the railing. Climb up and blast the blue rock to reach the
first landing. Blast the blue rock wall, then grab the switch and zap
the blue orb in the statue's hand. You can now climb up the stairs to
the left. Blast the hanging blue rock to clear the rocks from the
stairs to the second landing.
Here, have Radagast heal the bird, then assemble the planks that pop out
to get a bridge up. At the top, blast the door to enter.
Finding the Tombs -
Head down the stairs, then at the end, hop onto the railings to the left
and climb up to the top one to reveal an orb that will open the door when
hit with magic.
This next area is a bit of a maze. Head right at the first junction, up
at the second junction, then blast the wall, then head left at the
next junction to reach the end.
The Nine, Summoned -
Head to the back and blast the two torches on either side of the slab to
remove it. Continue down the tunnel and heal the bat at the end so you
can start up a light sequence. Hit the lights in order, 1-2-3-4, then
hit them again, 4-2-1-3. The door will open and you can proceed through
the tunnel. At the end, you'll need to light three blue torches. The
middle one is easy enough, but to get the left and right torches, you'll
climb up on either side and stand on a button, then fire a blast at the
orb that appears. To get up the right side, you'll have to find pieces
for a ladder. Hit the three torches and the door opens, then head to
the back through all the wind.
Edge along the walls in this room, knocking away blockages and jumping
over gaps when you need to. Blast the tomb at the end to drop down to
the next level. Head out on the edge and go around this side, then at the
end, grab the switches on either side to drop a torch, then blast it to
open the door.

The Hill of Sorcery -
Head to the right and blast the rubble blocking the entry. Your progress
forward is blocked by a shadowy doorway with an eye above it. You'll need
to direct a blue laser into it. Smash up the area and assemble a blue
statue, then fire a bolt at it to open the way.
The next area has three statues to blast to remove the shadows. First,
heal two birds on the ground floor with Radagast to uncover parts for the
middle statue. Second, smash the wood on the right to make a ladder, then
climb up and blast open the door for pieces for the second statue. For
the last, blast the blue cage on the left, then bounce off it to reach
the upper area where the last statue is, then assemble the rotator and
push it to turn the statue around. Blast all three.
Hidden Evil -
You'll need to open that gate on the back wall, and for that, you'll need
two cranks turned. For the left one, smash the stone slab to find pieces
for a rotator, then use it to reveal stairs. Climb up and smash the cage
to find the crank, then attach it and turn the mechanism. Now, go to the
center of the room and take the axe, then use it to axe smash the block
on the right. Assemble the ledge, then climb up and along the railing in
the back to the second crank. Head through the open gate.
Wait, no. We have to fight Azog first. You should be familiar with these
kinds of fights by now. Focus on button prompts to wear him down.
The Enemy Has Returned -
For the first part, simply run. At the end, you'll have to fight a
rather familiar looking mass of blackness. It should be noted that your
"B" move is now a shield. Avoid the "purple" attacks. When a "blue"
attack is prepared, be ready to use your shield to repel it. Once you
do so, assemble the pieces into a statue, then blast it to fire a laser
at the enemy. You'll do this twice more to finish the mission.

and Nori, then knock down a rope. Climb up to the crawlspace, then
crawl through and axe smash the cracked block. Everyone can now climb up
to the next major landing.
Continue to the left from this landing and find a gold hook for Dori to
hang from. Toss another dwarf onto it to pull open a crawlspace. Head
through as Ori and set the sling targets to red-blue-green. You can now
cross the stone pillar to the left. Smash the cracked block at the end,
then hammer smash it to the right. Climb up to the next level.
The Last Light of Durin's Day -
Now we need to find the keyhole. Go all the way to the left and smash
some rocks to find pieces for a rotator. Have the other dwarf stand
on the lift, then push the rotator to lift him up. Now, switch to the
upper dwarf and hop across to the right until you reach a tilted platform,
then switch to the lower dwarf and grab the switch beneath the platforms
to change them. Continue in this way to the right, and use the crank

First up, Dori and Dwalin need to make a bellows. Use Dori to pull down
the gold hook up the stairs, and Dwalin to hammer pound the rock on the
tiles. Assemble both into a craft plate, and use it to make bellows.
Next, you'll switch to Nori and Bilbo. Have Nori stack on the green
pad so Bilbo can hop up, then smash your way through to drop a box that
Nori can use to make a ladder. Further up the stairs, smash stuff to find
wraith pieces for Bilbo to make another green pad. Stack Bilbo up to the
next level so he can inch around the pillar to the switch.
Now, Balin and Ori can make a flash-flame. To do this, first smash up
the barrel in back to get pieces to make the code for the sling targets,
red-blue-red. Have Balin grab the ropes near the targets to uncover them
so Ori can shoot. Once you match the code, assemble the table and press
B. Next, you'll have to throw flash-flames at Smaug. Aim for the upper
part of his head and you'll likely hit him even if he moves.
Revenge! -
Smash up the area to find pieces for a sling target and use Ori to knock
down a ladder. Climb up and use Dori to pull down the hook so you can
cross, then have Dori help Bombur pull. This puts him out of commission,
so use Ori now to climb up and smash all the objects to find a crank.
Place it on the mechanism to move the hanging container to the right so
you can cross. Have Ori help Balin pull. Now, have Nori stand on the
green pad and have Bilbo climb up. Knock down a barrel to make pieces
for railings so Nori can join Bilbo, then smash the cracked block and
have Nori help Dwalin. Mash the X button to put Thorin's plan into
action.

Middle-earth Interlude:
Congratulations! You've completed the story thus far! What's that? You
want more? Well, seems like the final chapter of this story will be DLC.
Don't rightly know what form it's going to take, but when it happens, I'll
be here, ready to fill in the blanks. Until then!
******************************************************************************
5. FREE PLAY RUNTHROUGHS
******************************************************************************
Okay, in this section we go mission by mission and list all fifteen
objects you can pick up during the Free Play run. Like in so many past
LEGO games, how Free Play works is that you select your characters from
whoever you've unlocked, and then you're given several more from your stable
so you can access all the secrets.
Also, if you don't get the character you need in the selection that is
picked for you, you can always hold down Y and access the full menu
whenever you want.
Anyway, you can select Free Play of any completed mission from anywhere on
the map. You don't have to walk up to the mission's banner in the world.
Just bring up the map, find the banner on it, then select it.
So, with each item, I may note that you need something in particular.
Here's a list of what they mean, when they're not specific characters:
Free Play - You'll need to do it on Free Play, most likely because you'll
have the characters already in your stable, just not access to them in the
Story mode, or you'll need to be able to hot switch on the fly.
NOTE: A lot of the following qualifiers will become obsolete once the
character types enter your main party. For instance, "Wizard" won't be
mentioned after the first couple of missions because you'll have Gandalf
in your party and will be able to use him on Free Play whenever.
Flail - You need Dori's Flail to pull down a gold hook.
Arrows - You'll need Kili or another archer character for arrows shooting.
Sling - You'll need Ori's slingshot to hit a sling target.
Elf - You'll need an elf's agility for high-jumping or for flipping on
poles.
Wizard - You'll need a wizard's staff to fire a shot at a blue object.
Light - You'll need light (such as from a wizard's staff) to enter a
dark area.
Climb - You'll need a goblin or a simliar creature to climb up a netted
wall. You get one for free after "Goblin-town".
Ring - You need Bilbo to get the One Ring after "Goblin-town", which will
allow him to interact with wraith pieces.
Strength - You'll need a character or item with super strength. Easiest
one to get is Tom (Troll) in Bywater.
Explosives - You'll need an explosive item like the Mithril Firework Bow.
Morgul - You'll need a Morgul weapon to destroy black smoky bricks, such
as the ones the Wytch-king and Sauron carry.

******************************************************************************
6. MIDDLE-EARTH EXPLORATION
******************************************************************************
Once again, like in LEGO: Lord of the Rings, Middle-earth has a veritable
hobbit-load of stuff to do out in scenic Middle-earth.
First things first: I make the pre-assumption that you're not doing this
until you've completed the story, which unlocks Middle-earth Free Play,
meaning you can switch characters on the fly. That will also give you the
majority of the character types you need, although there are still a couple
of things to account for:
- Explosives: You'll need an item that can blow up mithril objects. The
easiest one to get I feel is the Mithril Fireworks Bow in "Inside
Information".
- Super Strength: You'll need a character who is large enough to pull on
orange handles OR you need an item to give a normal character such
strength. Tom (Troll) is pretty easy to get in the Bywater area, so go
for him.
- Morgul: You'll need a character with a weapon that can break Morgul
objects (smoky black). Sauron's the easiest to get to and is relatively
inexpensive compared to others.
Whereas the last game had Map Stones that made quests and items appear,
now events get added to the map simply through story progression, and it
all appears on the map at once.
There are several types of markers you're going to see on the map. Here are
the markers that are NOT events:
Cave - These are marked with a brown door and a white arrow going into it.
Caves are basically doors that separate the main area from small enclosed
areas. While they don't themselves represent events, they might *contain*
events, but those events will also be marked on the map.
Banner - These green banners with pictures on them mark Story Missions.
You can select these at any time to replay the mission, either in Story
or Free Play.
Eagle Marker - These gray stones shaped like an eagle function as fast
travel. After completing "Out of the Frying Pan", you'll have access to
these to call the eagles to take you to whichever marker you select.
Campsite - These brown tents show up after "Flies and Spiders" and you can
use them to change the time between day and night. Many events in the
game require you to be in one of the two times. If you look at the map
and see a sun marker, that's an event that requires it to be daytime, if
you see a moon, that's an event that requires it to be nighttime.
The rest of the markers are all events:
White Quest - These are white question marks. You will speak to a person
in Middle-earth and they will give you a task. These tasks could be
beating up some enemies, finding a friend, building something, dressing
up a certain way, bringing them an item, or something unique. Your
reward will be a Mithril Brick.
Red Quest - These are red question marks. They operate very similarly to
White Quests except on two key grounds. One, the person in question will
always ask you for a mithril forged item, and two, the reward is always
the ability to purchase a Red Brick.
Character - They will appear on the map as character portraits. Simply
walk up to the character and press B next to them and you'll be given
the option to purchase them. Not all characters are easy, though. Some
are placed at the ends of minor obstacle courses. Others, bad guys
specifically, will require some punching to subdue them.
Blacksmith Design - They appear as white envelopes with a red seal, and
there are sixteen of them in Middle-earth, as there are sixteen also in
the Story Missions. Once you collect the design, you can bring it to
the Blacksmith in Bree and you'll be able to forge them if you have the
proper loot to make the item.
Mithril Brick - The shiny white bricks that appear on the map are bricks
that you can get rather simply, whether it's through running a small
obstacle course, solving a puzzle, or completing a race. The point is,
you won't have to talk to anyone to get the quest started.
---
Good news is that all quests are "named", so I plan to order White and Red
Quests alphabetically. If you're having trouble on a quest, just search
through the list alphabetically by name to find it.
That said, if you're having trouble getting TO a quest marker I suggest
you get in the habit of setting it as a "destination" by selecting it
on the map. You'll get a stud trail leading you to it taking the land
into account. VERY handy.
Lastly, before we get started and just to make sure things are nice and
confusing, there are some events that won't appear until you complete
other events, as in you complete one White Quest and a new one will
appear, sometimes right in the same neighborhood, sometimes clear across
the other side of the map. Make sure to take a look at the map again
after clearing a bunch of quests to see what else has popped up. I try to
make note of what the prerequisites are for quests, but some I haven't
even picked up on.
======================
6A. White Quests A-J =
======================
Just to explain before you go poring through this: I operate under the
convention that articles ("A" and "The") don't count for alphabetizing, so
look at the first non-article word for where I'll put the quest.

=========================================
6E. Mithril Bricks - The Shire and Bree =
=========================================
Unlike the quests, these don't have names attached to them, so the best I
can do is location-based. This first area is the entire west up to the
large black line of a river that splits the Weathertop area from the
Trollshaws, so in effect this area covers Elven Port, Hobbiton, Bywater,
Bree, the Barrow-downs, Weathertop, and the High Fells.
Location: West edge of Elven Port
This is on a plant out on the water. Go out to the stone pier and hop
across the sinking stones to the rope, then drop down onto the brick.
Location: Northeast of Elven Port Eagle Marker, up river
Get in the boat either in the Port or back in Hobbiton and go through
the water cave. There's a path in the cave bearing north that leads to the
brick.
Location: South of Elven Port Eagle Marker
Required: Strength
Access to this one is actually just outside the Elven Port. Walk out the
main area and pull on the big orange handle on the right. Climb the hill
and use Bombur on the blanket to bounce up.
Location: Due west of the Hobbiton campsite, past the trees.
Go to the cave furthest west of Hobbiton, south of the brick marker. Inside
are two blue blocks on pillars, one of which has the brick. Blast the
blocks, then use a spade on the dirt piles so you can bounce up to the ropes
and get to the brick.
Location: Cave east of the campsite near Elven Port
Use a tinderbox to remove the growth on the cave. Inside, time your
jumps across the gaps to the brick.
Location: West of Bywater Eagle Marker
Required: Explosives
Blast the chest with the mithril lock on the little island in the water.
Location: East of Bywater Eagle Marker, north of campfire
You'll need an Elf to hop on the ropes and reach the brick above.
Location: South end of Bywater, in Old Forest, west of Bombadil
Required: Strength
This one's behind a large door that needs strength to open.
Location: Northeast of Barrow-downs Eagle Marker
Required: Strength
Beneath the purple owl is a cave. Use strength on the door to wrench it
open, then use Radagast to heal the animal.
Location: Cave in Barrow-downs
Prerequisite: The Longest Expedition
Head back to the "golf" cave and you'll need to get three pigs into the
pen. Hit all the sling switches in the area and be sure to use the plant
to get up to the higher platforms.
Location: South end of Barrow-downs
This is on top of the large hill in the center of the Downs. Use the
picnic blanket to feed Bombur to get some pillars up, then go to the green
stack pad and stack a dwarf up to the other button to complete the path.
Head up the pillars to the brick.
Location: Center of Bree
Time: Night
This is on top of the center house. To get there, you need to climb up
the wall near the blacksmith, then follow the rope, go through the
crawlspace, climb up the ladder, cross the roof, and then the other rope.
Location: Just next to "Azog the Defiler" mission
Required: Strength
Pull open the box next to the mission banner.
Location: South of "Azog the Defiler" mission
Required: Explosives
This may seem complicated, but the idea (which you know if you hit the Hint
Stone) is to flip each of the arrows. The only thing is that it takes some
doing to get to some arrows.
Location: At Weathertop
Enter the cave beneath Weathertop. Press the button to lower the spears,
then quickly run over and hit the second button. Run to the chest and
grab the crank, then use it on the mechanism to extend some ledges. Climb
up to the brick.
Location: Northeast end of Weathertop area
Go northeast for Weathertop to find a cave with a river in front of it.
Pull off the gold hook and hop onto the button to create platforms to get
to the cave. Inside, use a hammer to push the blocks into the proper
holes. The pattern is easy, so when done, climb up the rocks in the corner
to the surface.
Location: Northwest of High Fells Eagle Marker
Required: Explosives
Right next to the entrance to the tombs, blast the mithril rock on the
wall, then shoot an arrow into the hole behind it. Flip up to the brick.
==========================================
6F. Mithril Bricks - The Misty Mountains =
==========================================
This section covers the area between the long vertical river that separates
Weathertop from the Trollshaws, and it ends at the vertical river that
separates the mountains from the forests. This covers Trollshaws,
Caradhras, Moria, Rivendell, and the Elven Forest. I've also included the
High Pass in here since it's mountainous, but NOT the Pine Forest. Had to
draw that line somewhere, right?
Location: South end of Trollshaws area
This is roughly in the same area as Little Orc Lost. Hit the stone button
to raise up some pillars and create a race gate. Start the race as
an Elf and hop across the pillars and jump up through the last circle.
Location: Just north of Trollshaws Eagle Marker
Hit one of the moles, then hit a bunch more within the time limit.
Location: North end of Trollshaws, near High Fells Eagle Marker
Enter the cave to find five sling targets. You'll have to uncover a
couple of them. Set them red-green-red-green-blue (as the Hint Stone
suggests).
Location: Northeast of Caradhras campsite
This is in a ruin on the hillside. Climb up using the flag-marked path,
then hop up the branch trampolines to the planks. Walk around them to
reach the brick.
Location: West of Caradhras Eagle Marker
This race is won via flail. Go to the south side of the course and
climb up the rocks so you can flail into the starting point, then
continue to jump and swing to the left. Once you reach the end, you'll
have to go back to the right, then back to the left again, so stay
awake.
Location: Southwest of Moria Eagle Marker
Prerequisite: Miner on the Move
Return to the mine and hop in the minecart for a harder trial.
Location: South of Moria Eagle Marker
Go to the water in front of the main gate of Moria and hit the target
on the wall. Move onto one of the solid pillars and start shooting at
the seven statues in the area. You can also melee them, but I find it
easier to just shoot them repeatedly to get it done quickly.
Location: North end of Elven Forest area
Time: Night
Required: Morgul
There's a structure in this area with wraith bricks nearby. Assemble them
as Bilbo and turn the crank to open the door, then smash the Morgul chest
inside.
Location: A ways west of Elven Forest Eagle Marker
Time: Day
Go to the picnic blanket and feed Bombur to bounce up to a little obstacle
course which leads to a chest holding the brick.
Location: West of Elven Forest Eagle Marker
Time: Night
Required: Morgul
This is a Morgul chest that you'll need a Morgul Blade to destroy.
Use Radagast on the animal inside.
Location: Northeast of Elven Forest Eagle Marker
Time: Day
This is visible beneath one of the stair bridges to the treehouses. To
get to it, go below it and look for dirt to plant with, then bounce up the
plants to the brick.
Location: Far west part of Rivendell, west side of lake
After entering the main gate, go down to the water level to find a boat.
Row it to the west to find a spot to flip up using arrow poles. Shoot
the chest at the top.
Location: North of Rivendell Eagle Marker
This is a race that requires an Elf. Hop up the walls to reach the
start marker, then press B to begin. This race will lead you all around
Rivendell, including up to the roofs, but the path is pretty obvious.
Location: Northeast of Rivendell Eagle Marker
First, pull the gold hook off the crawlspace. Go through and push the
button to uncover the left crawlspace. Go through and hop around the
rafters to grab a crank and attach it to the mechanism. Turning it
will raise platforms to go to the center crawlspace, which leads to the
brick.
Location: Deep southeast part of Rivendell in mountains
Required: Explosives
Set this as a target then follow the path (because it's a bit confusing).
You'll end up going through a waterfall to a hidden refuge. You'll need to
set three blocks to get up to the brick. The first is on the ground level
and needs to have the mithril rocks blown up. The second is up the
climbing wall on the right. The third is up a slope in the back and then
requires a magic staff to remove the blue rock. Push all the blocks with
a hammer.
Location: Northeast part of Rivendell, on stone platform
Required: Explosives
This is in Elrond's home up on the platform. To get there, go down to
the water and Elf-hop onto the ropes until you get up to the top. Use
Explosives on all the mithril statues in the area quickly to get the
brick. The first nine are easy to find. The tenth is on the roof, so
climb up the nearby ladder to get there.
Location: Northeast part of Rivendell, in southern water
Enter the cave in this area. You can open the other heads for loot, but
what you need for the brick is to pull the gold hook on the right head,
then magic blast the blue orb inside.
Location: Northeast of High Pass Eagle Marker
In the cave next to the Eagle Marker, enter and run the spike gauntlet
to reach the brick.
Location: Right on top of "Goblin-town"
To get to the brick, you need to enter a nearby cave which is on the
Stone Giant. Mark it as a destination to find it. Inside, use hammer
pounds to move the block around until you hit the switch in the center.
==================================
6G. Mithril Bricks - The Forests =
==================================
This section covers the area between the long vertical river that separates
the mountains and forests, and the west shore of the Long Lake (Esgaroth).
It contains the Pine Forest, Beorn's Homestead, Mirkwood, Thranduil's
Kingdom, Radagast's House, and Dol Guldur.
Location: West of Pine Forest Eagle Marker
Enter the cave and hit seven arrows to point towards the statue. Some
are behind hooks, targets, etc.
Location: Next to Carrock Eagle Marker
This is a race that will require an Elf. Run down the hill and across
several ropes to the end.
Location: Northwest of Beorn's Homestead
Slap one of the moles poking their head out and then slap a whole bunch
more in the time limit.
Location: South of "Flies and Spiders"
Use Radagast on the sick mole.
Location: Next to Mirkwood Eagle Marker
Nearby are several purple mushrooms that lead up. Bounce up to the
brick.
Location: North of Mirkwood Eagle Marker
There's a sick owl on the path. Heal it with Radagast.
Location: Further left of "Barrels Out of Bond"
This is hanging in the middle of space above the main bridge. Walk up
to the bridge northwest and use Dori to flail-swing over to it.
Location: Near left of "Barrels Out of Bond"
Using an Elf, head into the kingdom and make your way to the jumping
walls. Hop up three sets to the top to get this brick.
Location: Next to Radagast's House Eagle Marker
Just east of the marker is a cave. Go inside and participate on the
bouncy race to get the Brick.
Location: Southeast of Radagast's House Eagle Marker
Required: Strength
Enter the cave. You'll need Strength to pull the two orange handles to
clear the path. Hop across the pillars and swing on the gold hook, then
smash the top of the stone with a buddy attack.
Location: Far east of Radagast's House Eagle Marker
Use a flail to attach to the owls and swing up to the tree where the
Brick is.
Location: Under bridge to Dol Guldur fortress
Beneath the bridge, take an Elf and hop up the marked walls to the
brick.
Location: Right on top of "The Necromancer"
Prerequisite: The Ghost of the Dwarf King
Return to the cave and you'll have another ghost-guiding course. This
time, the ghost will match your movements vertically, so you'll need to use
the pillar in the middle to get around him.
Location: Just east of "The Necromancer"
Required: Morgul
You need a Morgul weapon to smash eight Morgul objects in the area.
You'll have to walk about a bit to find them all. There's some up
stairs, one out on a plank, and another on top of a small structure.
Location: Further east of "The Necromancer"
Further into the fortress is a wall to climb with a brick at the top.
==========================================
6H. Mithril Bricks - The Eastern Reaches =
==========================================
This section covers the areas east of the western shore of the Long Lake.
It covers Lake-town, Dale, and Erebor.
Location: South end of Long Lake, directly south of "T" in "ESGAROTH"
Required: Explosives
Sail the boat to the spot and get off at the dock. Blast the mithril chest.
Location: South part of Long Lake, directly south of "G" in "ESGAROTH"
Take the boat west of the brick marker to land (at the stone dock, not
the wooden dock) and follow the path to the wooden dock. Fish off it and
take the key you get to the rotator switch so you can adjust the platforms
to reach the top.
Location: West part of Lake-town
There's a small jumping wall that an Elf can use to get to the roofs.
Shoot arrows at the bridge to put it in place so you can cross to the
planks and ropes to get to the brick.
Location: Southeast part of Lake-town
Enter the house south of the Eagle Marker. Press the button inside to
lower some of the spears. Quickly run through the path to the brick.
Location: North part of Lake-town
Enter the house in the north part. Hit the Hint Stone for the riddle,
then put 100 Fish in the fourth pot.
Location: Southwest of Dale walls
To get here, you need to start at Erebor and start walking south towards
Lake-town. You'll reach a craft plate to make a bridge. Not only does
this get you a brick, but also a convenient way to get back to Lake-town.
Location: South part of Dale on cave
Enter the cave and light fires near each of the captives to free them.
Location: Directly south of Dale Eagle Marker
This is on the rooftops. To get there, go south and shoot down the </pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
wood blocking the sling target. Fill it up, then climb up and cross
to the roof. Under the rubble is a sick owl, so use Radagast on it.
Location: West of Dale Eagle Marker
Go to the staircase that leads up to the northwest wall, then find a
wall that you can buddy smash. Once inside, dwarf stack up to the
attic, then smash the wooden chest.
Location: East of Dale Eagle Marker
Enter the door at the east part of Dale. In this basement, you'll need
to avoid the spears and smash the six statues quickly. I suggest using
the Pine Cone Bomb as it destroys them quickly and from long range.
Location: Northeast of Dale Eagle Marker within walls
Required: Explosives
There's a ladder on the keep on the east side of Dale leading up to the
upper keep. Find a mithril statue and blast it to find a crawlspace behind
it. On the next level, find another statue to the left covering another
crawlspace, which leads to the brick.
Location: East of Erebor Eagle Marker
Use the craft plate near the water to build a boat, then row the boat out
to the pier and take the brick.
Location: West of Erebor Eagle Marker
Time: Day
Use Dori to pull the gold hook on the wall, then climb up to the
crawlspace, then jump out to the hanging gold hook to swing into the
brick.
Location: Square structure southwest of Erebor Eagle Marker
This is near the Red Quest "World's Strongest Dwarf". Use the Ring and
a sling to climb this structure. The brick is at the top.
========================
6I. Blacksmith Designs =
========================
There are sixteen designs to be found in the wilds. I've organized them
alphabetically here, as they're all labelled on the map.
Mithril Bandit Gloves
Location: West part of Lake-town
Enter the house in the west. First, pull the gold hook off the chest to
get a crank for the mechanism on the left. Step on the button and shoot
an arrow at the target, then fire at the sling target. Then set the
colored targets to red and blue, then take the key and open the chest.
Mithril Beanstalk
Location: Northeast of Moria Eagle Marker
Required: Explosives
Blast the mithril rocks on the wall.
Mithril Candle Staff
Location: South of "The Necromancer" mission
Use Bilbo to smash the wraith planks blocking the cave, then enter and
find three keys. One's in the upper target. One's in the tent in the
lower left, and one's in the dirt on the right.
Mithril Catchphrase Mallet
Location: Just north of the High Pass Eagle Marker
Required: Explosives
This is at a camp up some stone steps. Use Explosives to blast the
mithril lock on the chest.
Mithril Construction Hat
Location: A ways north of Radagast's House Eagle Marker, in the mountains
Required: Explosives
Best way to get to this one is to ride east from Radagast's House, then
turn north and follow the road back west. You'll need to climb up a wall,
then you'll hop up some rock ledges to a dirt pile which makes a flower you
can use to bounce up. At the end of the mountain path is a cave with the
design inside. Use Explosives to blow up the mithril rocks, then hammer
pound the rock over to the right and use a tinderbox at the top.
Mithril Dance Boots
Location: East part of Rivendell in woods
Enter the cave near the design with an Elf. In here, you'll need to pull
three switches to unlock the design. On the right are spots where you
need to shoot arrows to flip up. On the left is a rope course with two
of the switches.
Mithril Falcon
Location: South of Erebor Eagle Marker
Go to the structure and set a dwarf stack. Jump up and pull the handle
to extend ledges, then use a flail to swing around the front side of the
structure, then hop up to the roof. The design is in a box on the top
of the roof.
Mithril Horseshoes
Location: Northeast part of Rivendell
Beneath the stone platform is a cave. Inside, you'll have to solve the
riddle. First, hit 12, then 4, then 6, then hit the one hiding behind
the tree, then the stone on top, then the one behind the bush to the
right, then the green stone and you're done!
Mithril Megapult
Location: Northeast of Bywater Eagle Marker
The obvious door and sling targets mean you have to put the colors in order,
but what order? The Hint Stone nearby mentions a stone lion. You can
follow the path to the lion, which you can sit on to see three owls in
order: green-blue-red. Set the targets for those colors and go inside.
NOTE: On the PC version, this is kinda bugged, as it won't let you hit
the targets with your sling. I know of no foolproof way to fix this; just
keep leaving and returning to the area. If you see Hint Stones, that's
the sign you can do it. If not, try changing the time of day, the place
from which you walk, and even turning down your graphics quality.
Hopefully an update will solve this.
Mithril Mushroom Crown
Location: At the end of the road north of Bree
Enter the cave and you'll find a bunch of crawlspaces. The trick is to
match them up. Enter the one with blue flowers to reach the key, then
enter the one on the back wall with a sloped top to reach the chest with
the design locked in it.
Mithril Rhythm Stick
Location: South end of Rivendell in water
Required: Explosives
From the main gate of Rivendell, go down to the water level to
find a boat. Row to the design marker and blast the chest on the rock.
Mithril Shadow Blade
Location: A considerable way south of Weathertop
There's a Hint Stone next to a locked door south of Weathertop. It
suggest to follow yellow arrows and turn away from purple ones. So,
follow the signs. Go exactly in the direction of yellows, and go the
opposite of purples. At the end is a dirt pile to dig the key up.
Inside the cave, shoot arrows to create blocks in the water to cross, then
give twenty each of emerald, sapphire, and ruby to the proper statues to
open up the rock to find the design.
Mithril Skull Cap
Location: Northeast of the Trollshaws Eagle Marker
Go east along the road from the Eagle Marker to find a locked cave.
Use a wizard to smash the blue stone to find a button underneath, which
will start platforms moving above. Climb up to the top of the cave with an
Elf to reach the crank to unlock the cave. Inside, use a light to reach the
end of the cave, and magic-blast each of the blue orbs that pop up.
Mithril Slippers
Location: South of Elven Forest Eagle Marker
Required: Explosives
First, fish off the pier to get a crank and use it to raise some pillars,
then smash the lowest pillar with a hammer to move it, then hop up as an
Elf, then use explosives on the mithril chest.
Mithril Snowapult
Location: South part of Dale
First, you need to get to the roofs. Go to the west gate of Dale and
you'll find a climbing wall. At the top, switch to Dori and start
hitting red flags. You need to hit all eight within the time to get the
design to appear, and they're all over the rooftops, although not
particularly difficult to find.
Mithril Stud Spade
Location: Northwest of Hobbiton Eagle Marker
This is found in a little shack, but to open it, you'll need a crank.
There's a pier in the stream just to the east. Fish off it as Bilbo
to get the crank.

6K. Bonus Level =
=================
Once you complete the game, you can access the Bonus Level. Getting there
is the trickiest part. From the gate of Erebor, go up the stone path to
the square tower (where the "World's Strongest Dwarf" is) and climb up
by assembling a wraith ladder and by hitting sling targets. You'll cross
a rope over to a ledge where the banner is.
The actual mission is a snap. You have five minutes to tromp around a
miniature Middle-earth as a stone giant, smashing everything and getting
a million studs. You'll hit the million long before everything is rubble,
so just have fun with it.

8. SECRETS/UNLOCKABLES
******************************************************************************
=====================
8A. How To Get 100% =
=====================
As is usual, getting 100% in this game requires you get everything: all
minikits, Red Bricks, characters, Mithril Bricks, items, and Master
Burglar rankings.
First priority is always the stud multipliers. Once you can rack up an
astounding stud count, everything is easy by comparison. So, to get the
x2 multiplier, you'll need to do one of two things: progress the story
up to "Barrels Out of Bound" and get elves for free, or just buy one of the
elves like Elrond. Either way, go into "Over Hill and Under Hill" and
get the Blacksmith Design for the Mithril Flail, forge it, and give it to
the guy in Hobbiton for "A Flail of a Time". That will get you Studs x2.
Next step is x4, which you get for completing "Dual Wielding" in the
High Pass area. The next multiplier requires you to be on Free Play with
the story completed, so wait until then, but make it the next priority.
It also might be worth your time to invest in "Attract Studs" in Lake-town
to make collecting a bit faster.
Once you've got all the multipliers, make your way through the missions.
The big bonus you get for minikit completion will be really good with all
the multipliers applied, especially the last one. At that point, you can
buy any Red Bricks you want, and any Loot can be picked up at the Loot
Dispenser in Erebor. It's all cleanup after that.
====================

===========================
8D. Trophies/Achievements =
===========================
The first sixteen achievements are for completing the missions in order,
so I won't bother listing those, as they're easy.
Ever "The People's Champion"
- Complete all the quests in Middle-earth
The greed of Dwarves

The Unassessably Wealth
- Collect 10,000,000,000 studs
NOTE: This is the most difficult one to do. The best one-time gain is your
last minikit, which gives you one million, turned to 3.8 billion if you
have all multipliers on. If you haven't hit the threshold then, your best
bet is to go to Inside Information, and the "Revenge!" part. Go to the left
on the ground floor and in the back to find a dwarf statue. Smash it and
it will continuously drop studs without being destroyed. Use a polearm
wielder and hold down B so they spin their weapon and keep racking up
studs. It will take a while, but it's the fastest way.

9A. Legal =

This FAQ was made 100% by me, and is Copyright © 2014 Scott "CyricZ"
Zdankiewicz. You may not take it in whole or in part and claim it as your
own. You may not alter it in any way, even if you ask me first, and that
includes putting it in HTML format. Please don’t post this on your site
unless you have express consent by me. I’ve put a lot of time into this.
Give me some credit.
Currently, the following sites have permission to post my FAQ:
www.gamefaqs.com
www.gamewinners.com
www.ign.com
www.cheatcc.com
www.cheatplanet.com
www.neoseeker.com
I'm not going to allow people with small personal sites to post this FAQ.
They may post the link on GameFAQs with all the LEGO guides, but, trying to
keep updates, well, updated, I'll only allow large committed sites that I
trust.
=======================
9B. E-mail Guidelines =
=======================
If you wish to e-mail me, be sure to follow these guidelines...
- Make ABSOLUTELY sure I haven't already answered your question in the guide.
- Make sure it has something to do with the LEGO Hobbit game. I don't want
spam, chain letters, offers for friendship. Compliment me on the FAQ all you
want, though.
- Make sure you say LEGO Hobbit at one point in your e-mail. I have
more than one LEGO FAQ, and asking a generic question such as "How do I beat
the last level?" doesn't tell me much.
- Spell correctly and use proper grammar, please. If I can't understand
your e-mail, it'll go to the junk pile.
=============
9C. Credits =
=============
CJayC, SBAllen, and all respective webmasters for having this on their sites.
LEGO, for their world of imagination.
JRR Tolkien for his world of fantasy, and Peter Jackson, for making that
fantasy come to life.
=====================
9D. Version Updates =
=====================
Version 1.0 - 5/15/2014 - Should be largely done.
====================
9E. The Final Word =
====================
So, no word on the next LEGO game. That said, there is word that this game
will have DLC in the form of the last movie. Don't quote me on that; it
seems to be just a rumor that hasn't been substantiated, but I'll be back
to update this guide if it comes true.
See you all again!
