Stage 11 (Barrels Out of Bond): Go down the river | Walkthrough LEGO The Hobbit Guide

Collect the studs hovering above the surface of the river

Rafting down the river is divided into two parts and the first one is less complicated. First of all, it is worth knowing that the first part of the rafting loops, i.e. you do not need to bother about the fact that this scene will end unexpectedly. This will happen only after you have performed the actions described below. This, of course, is an opportunity for you to collect all of the studs, especially that you will be allowed to switch between the characters in the barrels, freely.

You need to tap the indicated keys rhythmically, thanks to which you will be throwing goblins off

In order to complete the first part, you need to start disposing of those of the goblins that are jumping towards some of the allies. Each time this happens, start by pressing the character swap key/button, thanks to which you will switch, automatically to the character that is being attacked. In order to get the goblin off, you need to play a minigame, which consists in rhythmical tapping of the indicated keys/buttons (they will be different each time). Eliminate four monsters this way.

Attack the monsters and keep destroying the environment

Soon, the party will reach a small bay. You can ignore the enemies that remained in the water, unless you want to gain some more studs (note - your characters may be attacked by more goblins, which involves completing the game of wrestling!). Instead, focus on Bombur, who came out to the shore as the only one and started using the barrel as an additional protection. Start eliminating the new wave of goblins and, at the same time, keep destroying the elements in the area, because there are, exceptionally, many of them.

The spot where you need to destroy a wooden bridge

Go into the background, continue eliminating goblins that appear in Bombur's path. Go left then and walk onto the wooden bridge. You need to stop in the central part of the bridge, jump and slam against the cracked plate.

Note - If you want to give the left bank a better scrutiny, do not destroy the dam by slamming against the cracked plate, because the second part of the rafting will, otherwise, start too early.

Use the bow to eliminate goblins on both sides of the river

The second part of rafting is a bit different than the first one, in that you will be controlling elves only. Just like earlier, this part does not end before you achieve certain, predetermined, ends, which is a good thing to take advantage of, in order to collect all of the studs (there also is a minikit here). This time around, you need to eliminate 20 goblins that occupy both banks of the river. You do not need to aim at them manually, and only press the ranged attack key/button instead, at the moment at which your elf is sufficiently close to the enemy. After you dispose the required number of monsters, this stage ends.
