Stage 5 (The Troll Hoard): Explore the cave | Walkthrough | LEGO The Hobbit LEGO The Hobbit Guide
Last update: 25 September 2019
Start exploring the troll cave, where there are three chests with elven swords hidden (initially, you can play as any of the characters). Smash all of the interactive objects around the cave entrance. Approach, then, the interactive bricks, hold down the appropriate key/button on order to start building and build an interactive catch. Switch to Dori and use his flail to catch the grip shown in the above screenshot.
Leave Dori hanging and switch to any other character. Press the appropriate key to leap towards Dori and grab him. The purpose of this action is to increase the weight, which will raise the cage on the right. After the cage is raised, let go of the grip., thanks to which it will fall to the ground and smash. Switch to any dwarf now and select the Dwarf Axe, as the active item. You need to use the axe to smash the cracked plate, which was exposed by the cage that has just smashed.
For performing all of the above sections, you will be rewarded with collapsing of the entire structure. Switch to Gandalf and approach the gilded chest to open it. This way, you will obtain the first one of the elven swords (Glamdring). You can now go to the right, with all the characters.
Stop in the location with spiders and switch to Bombur. Drive the spiders away and interact with the red blanket to lie down on it. Switch to any other character now and approach the glowing circle and interact with Bombur. You need to feed the ally, using the following- 6 Fish and 5 Carrot.
Note- if you do not have the required items, explore the rest of the cave (especially the area where you found the first chest) and smash all of the interactive objects.
Switch to Dori, approach the fed Bombur and start bouncing off him. You need to grab the edge of the ledge above and climb onto it, while lowering, at the same time, the ladder. Attack the skeleton on the right and hold down the building key/button, after you defeat it. This will result in the construction of another interactive catch, which will be located on the left.
Make sure that Dori has the flail selected, approach the left edge of the ledge and grab on to the catch. Press the indicated key/button several times. This will collapse a part of the ceiling and reveal another catch. Grab on to the catch, using the flail, swing and leap towards the ledge on the left, which was inaccessible earlier.
After you reach the ledge, smash the objects around, thanks to which you will unlock access to the manhole here. Switch to Thorin and walk through the bottom manhole, to make it over to the ledge on the upper-left. You can now open the chest (silver) and collect the second Elven sword (Orcrist).
Switch to Gandalf again and walk into the darkest part of the cave, thanks to which it will be illuminated. Smash the interactive objects round and start building, in the left part of the cave. Above the heads of the characters, there will appear a target, as a result. Switch to Ori and use the slingshot to hit the target. Three successful hits will lower the cage.
Approach the smashed cage and hold down the indicated key/button, thanks to which you will build stairs here. Switch to Bilbo, climb up the stairs and open the last chest (brown). Thanks to this, you will obtain the third Elven sword (Bilbo's Sword). You will now watch several cutscene and this stage will end.
