When it strikes the ground a thin trail of fire will wrap along the ground in a half-circle around Sauron. The first is a large, overhead swing with his Morgul mace. Sauron will stalk you around the arena and employs three main attacks. They are easily dispatched and will supply you with plenty of hearts should you take a few extra hits from the Dark Lord. Sauron towers above all the other LEGO figures and is supported by a steady stream of Orcs that will regularly run into the battle. Once you defeat the final three Orcs you will be given a short cutscene and move into battle with Sauron himself! Break the towers down one at a time and slay the shielded Orcs. As instructed by the in-game tutorial these are Morgul bricks and only Elendil, who weilds the Elven sword Narsil is able to destroy them. Once the shielded Orcs have been slain the ground will shake and three black towers will rise out of the ground with Orcs on top of them. Follow the on screen prompt to disarm the Orcs then attack normally to defeat them. This time they are equipped with shields. After they are all defeated (there are icons at the top of the screen that will help you track how many are left) you must defeat three more. Your goal is to defeat the five orcs with standards(banners) sticking above their heads. Be careful to not stray too close to the edges of the arena as Orcs may come out of the background and strike you before running away. PrologueĪfter the opening, you will be in battle against The Dark Lord Sauron's Orcs. Every stud you collect counts toward the "True Adventurer" goal of each stage and to your overall total at the end of the stage as well as your overall total once you clear the stage. Half the fun of a LEGO game comes from beating the studs out of anything and everything. Typically found after checkpoints, they not only allow you to start from that point if you need to turn the game off and take a break but when you use one, it will descend into the ground and give you flowers that you can break for extra studs. Keep an eye out for save stones as you play through the stages. Every stage has at least a few hidden secrets that will require more playthroughs once you have more characters and abilities at your disposal LEGO games have tons of hidden secrets and this one is no different. You can't always get everything your first time through. Beyond the specificĬallouts in the walkthrough, there are a few things to always keep in mind while playing the game: Let this walkthrough help light your path from the Prologue to Amon Hen, the first six stages of the game.įor each stage, I've listed the characters you will have available to you and the strategies used to clear the stage.
