Stage 5 (The Troll Hoard): The orc encounter | Walkthrough | LEGO The Hobbit LEGO The Hobbit Guide
Last update: 25 September 2019
The third part of the stage is unique, because you can freely switch between Radagast and the remaining characters. I recommend that you take care of the chase scene in the first place, while playing as Radagast. At this point, it is worth noting that that you can interrupt it at any moment. and this is the recommended thing to do, when you, e.g. lose your health hearts (it is easy to replenish them by playing as the remaining characters). Apart from that, it is a good idea to keep an eye out for the object that can be smashed, during the chase, which takes place over a looping track (Radagast will not lose health, as a result of that). This way, you will obtain two minikits (you can leave obtaining them for later, of course).
The primary objective of the chasing scene is to get rid of the three orcs riding wargs. Each time, you will have to wait for the enemy rider to come close to Radagast and press the action key/button, to jump towards it. Then, start tapping, rhythmically, the indicated keys (they will be replaced with the other ones, occasionally!), thanks o which you will eliminate the orc, once and for all. As I have already pointed out, you can eliminate all three riders in one take, do that one-by-one o(by switching between the characters) or leave this task for later (at some point, the game will make you complete Radagast's scene).
In the case of the remaining allies (the characters that do not participate the chase) you can switch to any one. Start the exploration of the first area, smash the objects in the area and eliminate the single orcs. After you have explored the area sufficiently enough, stand at the big vertical wall and switch to Gandalf. Use Gandalf's Staff to destroy the big element right above him (you need to aim at it manually). Then, switch to any of the dwarves and use the Dwarf Axe to cut through the cracked plate below.
The wall should collapse so, take the passage that was revealed and go right. Stop after you reach the seemingly indestructible wall on the right. You need to Buddy-Up here, to combine the efforts of two characters. Approach the wall on the right, with the combined characters and press the attack key/button to clear the way.
Proceed to the right and be prepared to kill several regular orcs. Switch to Kili and use Kili's Bow, to hit the two targets at the big rock. Use the bricks that fell to the ground to construct an interactive catch. You now need to switch to Dori and use his flail you reach the golden catch. Press the indicated key/button several times and wait for the large boulder to fall to the ground. You can jump onto it and go right. Jump down here.
Note - if you still have not completed the Radagast's chase scene, you should take care of that now, because you will not be able to finish the last battle of this stage, then.
Start by clearing the area, in order to obtain studs and resources. In this location, apart from the standard monsters, you will also be attacked by orcs on wargs. It is them that you should deal with, in the first place. An important piece of information is that you can, after you dismount an orc, mount the warg yourself, which will facilitate the process of eliminating orcs.
If you have completed Radagast's chase scene, then there will soon appear the orc leader, above the field, and he is a mini-boss. In free time, between attacking the rest of the monsters, switch to Kili and use his bow to deal damage to the boss (an example in the above screenshot). Ultimately, you need to deprive the orc leader of all of his three hearts, which will end this stage in success.
