The main campaign in LEGO The Hobbit consists of sixteen stages and in each of the missions, you can find a dozen-or-so various collectibles/challenges. Precisely speaking, you can find:
- Minikits - at each individual stages, you can find ten minikits. Completing the entire kit, for each stage, rewards you with studs (apart from that, you can also have a closer look at it).
- Schematics (the envelope icons) - at each stage, you can find one schematic. Finding one unlocks the opportunity to craft one item at the blacksmith's.
- Unique treasures (treasure chest icons) - at each stage, there are four unique treasures. Finding an individual treasure grants you access to a new item of unique abilities.
- Master Burglar Status - at each stage, you can obtain one such status and you do that by obtaining the required amount of points.
It is best to start searching for collectibles, at individual stages, only after you have completed the entire campaign mode because, otherwise, you will not have the required characters and/or items. You can replay and individual mission by doing either of the two things. It is much more convenient to open the world map and roll over any marker of a main quest. After you make the selection, you can freely switch between the stages, which you have completed earlier, and select the one that you are interested in. The second way assumes that you travel to the marker located directly in the game world and this is recommended only if you are currently staying within short distance of that marker.
Note! Regardless of the way in which you start a given mission, remember to select the Free Play mode, while replaying a stage, because only then will all the unlocked characters available.
Note! In the following pages of this guide, the collectibles have been described in the order in which they are found. This should make it easier to collect them all at one take, without the necessity to replay an individual mission, for a number of times.
A VERY IMPORTANT piece of information, connected with finding collectibles, is that you, unfortunately, need to unlock two bonus characters, on your own. This is so, because the two do not you in the character list automatically, while completing the successive stages. The two characters in question are Saruman and Sauron. Their whereabouts have been marked on the map presented on this page.
Sauron can be found close to the path to Dol Guldur and recruiting him requires you to spend 70000 studs (coins). Sauron is the only one that has the Morgul Blade and is the only one capable of destroying the objects under dark powers (they are surrounded with black fog).
Saruman can be found in the Eastern part of Rivendell and recruiting him requires you to spend 50000 studs (coins). Saruman is the only one that can destroy the silver mithril elements of the surroundings.
