- 2 years 9 months ago Over Hill and Under Hill is the sixth level in the Story Mode. The story mode walkthrough features everything needed to get through the chapter. All Collectibles locations are detailed in the Free Play Walkthrough farther down the page, even though some of them may be available in the story mode playthrough. Getting into this level is a little odd as it involves a cut scene and then more time in the Hub World before the chapter proper begins. Just follow the light blue studs a short way to get to the cut scene. After the cut scene ends, once again follow the light blue stud trail a long way around Rivendell to get to the next cut scene, which still doesn't begin the chapter. Follow the studs again, this time a short way through the hills, to the chapter start. At the start of this chapter, the party is divided into two groups - a group on the upper path (this is the group the gameplay starts with) and a second group below them on a lower path. The goal of this section is for the upper group to help the lower group move forward and rejoin them.
On the upper path, hammer smash through the barrier to the right, then look for a dwarf stack spot to the left of the overhanging platform, and put Oin, Nori, and Bifur on it. Switch to another character and walk as far to the right as possible, then destroy the crates in front of the stone barricade. Pick up the crank that is revealed. Climb up the stacked dwarves onto the platform and use the crank to lower a crate down below. Switch to the lower path group and use Dori to pull the gold Lego hook on the crate, then use it to build a walkway across the gap. Just on the other side of the plank walkway, destroy the stones there then build the pieces into a weight which will pull down the rock barricade from above. Switch back to the upper path group and being walking right. Three boulders will smash down from above. Use the pieces of the boulder on the farthest right to build an object that goes through the rock. Use a dwarf to jump-smash to the cracked plate on top of it, sending it crashing below and creating a platform for the lower group.
Still on the upper path, walk as far to the right as possible, then use Dwalin to hammer smash the mine cart that is in the way. After the mine cart is out of the way, switch to the lower path group and have them use the new platform to cross the gap, then keep walking right to a large cracked wall. Buddy-up to break the wall and bring some boulders falling down, one of which will create a stepping stone to get up the next ledge. Hop up that ledge then walk to the right until the crane rope and hook is in view. Destroy the crates on the ground near the hook, then build a crate onto the hook. Once the crate is on the hook, switch back to the upper path group and look for another dwarf stack plate to the left of another crane platform. Stack the dwarves and climb up it, then use the crane (this one already has a crank) to lift the crate up top. Once the crate has smashed itself, use the pieces to build a craft table, offer it the required loot (there's lots of mining that can be done around if more is needed), and do the Lego build to make a lightning rod, which will let nature take care of the next barrier.
Move to the right and start down the hill to launch a cut scene. The party now finds themselves on a stone giant, which is battling another stone giant. Use the hang rail on the right to hop up a level, then destroy the Lego stones that are right there to get a rock that can be picked up. Walk to the left with the rock and throw it (use the aiming function) at the plant in front of the ladder up and to the left. Build the pieces of the fallen plant into a hang rail then use it to hop up and then climb the ladder. Head to the right and around the corner then left up the stairs to launch a cut scene. After the cut scene, keep heading left, smashing barriers, then hammer smashing a mine cart that is in the way. Keep heading left and smash the barrier in the way, launching another cut scene. After the cut scene, keep heading left as far as possible. Use Dori to grapple on to the gold Lego hook overhead, then another character to hang on him and pull the crate down. Build the crate pieces into a ladder.
Before going up the ladder, destroy a nearby rock in a notch in a corner of a wall, just below the green vine hanging down. Pick up the rock that is revealed, then head up the ladder. At the top of the ladder throw the rock at the plant above. Use the pieces of the plant to build a hang rail, and use it to climb to the ledge above. On the ledge, use Dori to pull the gold Lego hook, creating a way to get farther up. Climb up and launch a quick cut scene. After the cut scene head to the right and up a series of stairs until another cut scene launches in which the giant swats at the party. After the cut, there will be a new cracked plate where the giant hit himself. Buddy-up to crack the plate and launch another cut scene. Bilbo is now hanging perilously on the ledge. Follow the button prompts to rescue him and end the chapter. The High Pass section encompasses the portion of the chapter when the parties are split between upper and lower paths. A Thunder-battle begins with the party on a stone giant.
This section includes a "Map Room" that can only be accessed in Free Play. On the right side of the giant, midway up, look for a silver mithril stone, and use Saruman or the Mithril Bomb Blade to destroy it, then go through the door that is revealed (this may require a small character).Pause the game, select the "Extras" option, and choose the "Enter Code" selection. Then, enter one of the following codes to activate the corresponding cheat function. Note: Characters unlocked with codes cannot be saved. Thus, you must re-enter codes to activate the characters again each time you quit and restart the game. Fast travel to Hobbiton. When you arrive, select "Bofur" as your character. Then, follow the river east until you see a box full of bread on the right. Destroy the box, and collect the wood and bread. Next, go straight through the fence to reach a small cave that contains random loot that can be mined. The random loot can be gold, silver, copper, iron, sapphire, ruby, emerald, diamond, or stone.
After collecting the loot in the small cave, turn left to see a box of fish next to the bridge. Destroy the box of fish, and collect the items. After collecting the loot, pause the game, select "View Map", and choose to fast travel to Hobbiton again. All loot will respawn. Repeat this process as many times as desired. This trick allows you to obtain enough loot to forge all the weapons and tools in the game. Fast travel to Esgaroth, and go to the tower on the far right. Stand in the tower for two seconds to make this area your save location. Then, collect the nearby sapphire, ruby, emerald, and diamond. After collecting the loot, pause the game, select the "View Map" option, and choose to fast travel to Mirkwood. When the eagle drops you off, hold Up on the Left Analog-stick to cause your character to fall into the water. You will then respawn back at the tower in Esgaroth. Repeat this process as many times as desired. Successfully complete the indicated tasks to obtain all stud multipliers.
