Stage 11 (Barrels Out of Bond): Goblin attack | Walkthrough | LEGO The Hobbit LEGO The Hobbit Guide

The monsters will drop axes and it is a good idea that each of the characters collects a weapon

Select one of the characters, swim up to the pier and press the indicated key/button, to jump out of the barrel. You can now start a quite linear walk, during which your party will be constantly attacked by goblins. Since the characters start the game without their default weapons, pay attention to the items dropped by the killed monsters and obtain, this way, a Goblin Axe. Apart from that, it would be a good idea if you used the Save Statue, although it is not compulsory.

Take the path to the hill on the left. Around, there are three goblins in golden armors and you need to deal with all of them. You need to keep in mind that they will take 2-3 attacks, before you defeat each. Apart from that, you may have to tap, rhythmically, the attack key, while fighting at close quarters. After you have dealt with all of the monsters, there will appear five more, around, in silver armors this time. The general combat pattern remains unchanged. Finally, there will appear an enemy archer, in the battlefield. Start avoiding his ranged attacks (run + jump) and wait for an opportunity to approach the cracked plate shown in the above screenshot. Jump near the plate and hit it with the axe.

The lever to operate the dam with

You may have probably noticed, already, that the recent action resulted in the appearance of a bow in the area. Pick it up, with any character, and return downstairs. Stop by the river. Aim the bow at the target, which you have seen in the most recent cutscene (in the meantime, keep driving the goblins away). After you hit the target with an arrow, the load will fall and eliminate the elves, which have been blocking access to the dam. Walk onto the dam and grab the brown lever, which will lower the dam on the river.
