Stage 16 (Inside Information): Defeat Smaug | Walkthrough LEGO The Hobbit Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
As it will turn out, defeating Smaug is time consuming and will require the cooperation of several pairs of characters. First of all, smash all of the objects in the area and consider using the Save Statue. For starters, switch to Dwalin and walk over to the right. Use Dwalin's Warhammer to push over the block. Go where the block stopped and hold down the building key/button. Wait until the first part of the Craft Table to be built.
Now, switch to Dori and go left. You need to reach the catch located at the objects on the stairs, with the Dori's Flail. Press the indicated key/button several times and, after the items fall apart, complete the construction of the Craft Table. Approach the Table and spend the supplies on the construction - 15 Rope, 20 Wood and 15 Silver. The next step is, of course, completing the building minigame, thanks to which you will build a pair of huge bellows.
After you see the cutscene, the game will focus on another group of characters. Smash, thoroughly, all of the objects in the area and switch to Nori. Position him in the highlighted area and switch to Bilbo. Climb onto the dwarf and jump over to the balcony. Destroy the object on the left, return down and hold down the building key/button to build a ladder. You can now set out, with the main characters, towards the upper level of the structure.
Along your path, stop only where there are flames and wait, always, until Smaug stops belching fire. As Bilbo, put on the ring and activate it. Only then, you will get the opportunity to build another interactive plate. Switch back to Nori and walk onto the plate. As Bilbo, you can now climb on the shoulders of the dwarf. Grab the edge and wait until it is safe. Then, shimmy to the right, as far as possible. Finally, stand at the mechanism above and press the indicated key/button.
Wait until you cut to another group and start again, by smashing the objects in the area, While there, also hold down the building key/button at the hopping bricks. Thanks to this, you will build three circles of various colors. You will have to solve puzzle here, which is about arranging colors in the way in which they correspond to the big circles that you have built. You always need to start with revealing one of the targets, as Balin and you do that by reaching the catches, like the one shown in the above screenshot.
After you have revealed a target, switch to Ori and use his Slingshot. The solution to this puzzle has been presented in the screenshot - above the left and the right target, there needs to be a red circle, whereas above the middle one - a blue circle. After you solve this puzzle, hold down the building key/button and interact with the table on the right, which used to be inaccessible.
You will watch another cutscene and Smaug will be peppered with explosive potions. You do not need to use your brains here, too much. Wait for the monster's head to be within the line of shooting and press the action key/button to throw. You need to hit the dragon five times and an additional facilitation is the fact that he does not respond to your attacks.
Watch a longer cutscene and, after you get to a new location, smash all of the objects in the area. Explore the central part of the location and hold down the building key/button. wait for the target to be built and switch to Ori. Use his slingshot three times and aim at the target each time. You can now climb up the ladder to the balcony above.
Switch to Dori now and approach the left part of the balcony. Use the flail on the catch. Press the indicated key/button several times, thanks to which there will appear a bridge here. Walk over to the left and order Dori to defend the structure - you need to position him in the highlighted spot (the above screenshot) and press the appropriate key/button.
Climb up the ladder and find a knob around. It needs to be placed in the slot of the nearby mechanism and used immediately. Jump over to the lowered load and jump towards the balcony on the right. Just like earlier, you will have to help one of the allies. Switch to Ori and position him in the highlighted spot.
After you watch a short cutscene, switch to Nori and deploy him in the marked spot. Switch to Bilbo, climb onto Nori and jump towards the balcony above.
Make sure that you have destroyed here one of the chains, thanks to which Nori will be able to climb and reach the balcony with Bilbo on it. Switch to Nori and use his axe on the cracked plate, on the left. You only need to approach, as Nori, the last one of the inactive allies and provide him with help.
This is the end of the last, sixteenth, stage of the game but, your journey has not yet finished. After you watch the final cutscene and the credits roll, you will return to the main world map. I recommend that you now focus on the attraction that you missed out on (side missions, collectibles, etc.) and also on replaying the main stages in free play mode. All of the activities of this kind have been described in the following chapters of this guide.
