Character customizer � You can modify the looks of the characters in this location.
On the above map, all of the locations of the virtual Middle Earth have been marked. You can visit them, and explore more thoroughly, between completing the main stages of the game:
The main areas of the game, e.g. Erebor or Hobbiton world have been marked in blue . References to these locations have been included in the walkthroughs for the quests and in the descriptions of the whereabouts of collectibles (the remaining chapters of this guide). Single locations, like e.g. the smithy of the dwarven blacksmith, have been marked in green . Each location of this kind is worth visiting, at least, several times throughout the game (sometimes it is even necessary to forward the story). Detailed descriptions of the "green" locations have been included below.
The Smithy The blacksmith's house
The dwarven blacksmith lives in Bree, but his smithy is unavailable, at first. The only way to solve this problem is to complete the Smithy in Peril side quest (no. 19, white question mark), tasked to you by his wife. From the moment, at which you escort the smith to the village, you will be allowed to enter his house and use his forge.
Interacting with the forge allows you to craft new mithril items
As it has been already mentioned, in the smith's house, there is the forge, which you can use, free of charge. Thanks to the forge, you will be able to craft mithril items but, for that to happen, you need to have appropriate schematics and supplies on you.
Note - the entire process of forging of mithril items has been described, in detail, in the chapter entitled red Question Marks , in Middle Earth - Side quests .
Chamber with minikits The entrance to the chamber with minikits
The chamber with minikits is inside one of the buildings in Rivendell. You can visit it from the very beginning of the game. Personally, I recommend that you do that only after you have obtained all of the 160 minikits, i.e. after you have assembled all 16 objects.
An example exhibit
After you enter the chamber, you can stand in the highlighted spot and start viewing your minikits. If you have collected all of the ten collectibles in an individual main stage, you will be able to view a complete object.
Creatures Customization The stable entrance
The Creature Customizer is right next to the Beorn's Homestead, to the South-West of the Mirkwood Forest. You can use it for the first time after you have completed the ninth main mission of the game (Queer Lodgings).
An example customized creature
Enter the stables and stand on one of the interactive plates. In this location, you can freely modify the looks of all of the mounts in the game. What is meant here are horses, foals, wargs and trolls. Customizing a given creature has no effect on the abilities of the creature.
Character Customization The building entrance
The Character Customizer is in the Lake-town, in Esgaroth. You visit the town for the first time, during the twelfth mission of the game.
An example customized character
After you walk into the building, stand on one of the interactive plates. In here, you can modify, freely, the looks of the playable characters. The customization of a character has no practical use, although it is sometimes necessary to complete a side quest. Also, it is worth noting that some of the special elements of the looks (e.g. a hat that disguises the character as an orc) need to be bought. Fortunately, they are not too expensive.
