This is the last level of Act 2.
This is the 12thlevel overall.
Here is a brief walk-through of the level.

You are split into two "groups". Frodo, Sam and Gollum in one and Faramir in the other. Start with Frodo, enter the tunnel left, switch to Faramir, shoot the target in the background. Switch to Frodo, jump to the other side using the new platform. Switch to Sam, drop down, use the rope on the hook. Switch to Faramir, head right, create a floor from the LEGO bricks, switch the pillars to climb to the upper level. Shoot the target in the distance. Switch to Frodo, go through the gate. Switch to Faramir, shoot the target AGAIN. On a tower is an Orc with a sword you use to free Gollum’s hands from his binds. Switch to Frodo, light up the dark alley. Destroy the door, build a tunnel from its remains. Switch to Sam, use the new passage. CUTSCENE. Use the rope on the hook hanging from the roof, build a trampoline from the bricks, bounce to the first floor of the tower. Switch to Faramir, kill the Orcs, head right. Build a ladder, climb it, shoot the target, switch back to Sam, finish building the ladder, pick up the sword, drop down and free Gollum. Go up, open the gate with the crank, head right, switch to Faramir, drop down, head right again. Kill the incoming Orcs, go upstairs, shoot two targets and use the tiles to build the floor. Push the pillar left, Shoot two Orcs and switch to Gollum. Climb up and push down the statue. Switch to Sam and grow a plant. Use it to bounce to the platform. Start a fire. Switch to Faramir and head right. Kill the Orcs, break the supports by the wall and shoot the Black Rider. Now switch back to Sam. Go downstairs, dig up a cog-piece, use it to complete the mechanism. Switch to Gollum and fish the crank from the water after destroying the rocks blocking the path Use the crank on said mechanism and open the gate. Switch to Faramir, go right and downstairs, kill the Orcs and shoot the Ring-Wraith. Now head right, build a ladder, climb up, switch to Frodo, destroy three pillars and build stairs. Climb up, button mash to avoid putting on the ring, switch back to Faramir and shoot at the Nazgul. CUTSCENE. Now you are Ents invading Isengard. Almost everything is breakable and you don't have to worry about the little orcs running around. Head right, knock down a tower, cross the chasm. Further right, extinguish the wall of flames by throwing nearby shining water towers at it. Head north, pick up the boulders and throw them at the towers to create a path up to the dam. Interact with the dam supports by button mashing to remove them, causing the dam to burst, Isengard to flood and the level to FINALLY be over.

After the cutscene, the achievement pops while they will figure your collectibles and whatnot (85000 studs for true adventurer and Gollum unlocks).
This brief walkthrough ended up very long... But the same could be said for all the levels in this game. They always drag on, but it doesn't take too much away from the game. It's still my favorite LEGO game so far!

Does anyone knows is there a glitch at the end of the level? Because I can´t get it, just after destroying the dam, screen goes black as before loading a cinematic scene but just keeps that way. I´ve been trying for a couple of days with no change.

Are you playing Games on Demand or Disc? Mine was Games On Demand and it unlocked while tallying my collectibles. Same for my wife's account when she played it. I haven't heard anything about glitches for this particular achievement. Have you tried using a different account to see if it unlocks for that one? Have you tried watching the cut-scene and the tally screen in entirety without pressing anything or "skipping".
