How to unlock the Don't tell the Elf... achievement in LEGO The Lord of the Rings - Definitive Guide

At the beginning The Pass of Caradhras, you'll be given the ability to toss Gimli.

If you stand two large characters relatively close to one another, you can alternate pressing X and Y in sequence.

Pick up Gimli and walk close to a another large character and let the blue target appear and press X to toss the dwarf. Press Y to switch to the character who catches Gimli, line up the blue target again, and press X to throw him back.

Rinse and repeat...

You might want to add that if you have a second controller you can just connect it so you don't have to switch characters between each throw.

It would take more time licking up the second controller.

Just press x y x y x y etc....

Good solution. I did this right at the beginning after the snow pit with Boromir and Aragorn

Just for the sake of completion it's worth noting that this can apparently be done with any dwarf character. I got it when chucking Gloin about.

Although it is probably faster, thought I'd confirm that you can just throw him at any targetable character/object repeatedly.

I found a weird glitch in trying to get this. It was mid-mission when I remembered this achievement. I switch characters while in mid-air and Gimli got stuck inside Aragorn... I could switch between them, but was unable to finish because I needed to go through a crawl portal and Gimli kept falling out of the roof (because he was stuck in Aragorn I guess...)

This is my own guide that I recently made for this achievement.

In the video I show you the easiest way to do this and the earliest point in the game that you can. If you have any questions, just leave a comment and please let me know if I can improve my solution!

Can get this achievement by using any large character to pick up Gimli and fling him towards another large character and switch to them and do it vice versa or you can pick Gimli up and fling him at any item or destructible item.

“Throwing” Gimli refers to picking him up with a larger character (i.e. not a Hobbit or a Dwarf) with and throwing him with either at white cracked squares on walls or between two tall characters.

You will probably get this trophy naturally at the end of your collectable run, but if you wish to farm this you can do so as early as the “Pass of Caradhras” story level. Carry Gimli across the first snow drift with one of the tall members of the Fellowship, and then switch to another tall character and cross the snow. Then pick Gimli up and toss him repeatedly between the two tall characters and you will have this trophy in no time.

Gimli will be usable for this achievement once you form the fellowship in Rivendell. Throughout the story, you will have to throw Gimli to destroy out of reach cracked LEGO bricks. Opportunities for this are somewhat rare however, and you will need to grind this achievement.

To do it in a matter of a couple minutes, simply choose two tall characters directly after forming the fellowship. (Aragorn, Legolas, Boromir, and Gandalf are all options at this point).

Stand these characters a short distance from each other, and have one character grab Gimli with . Throw him to the other character using and click to switch to that other character. Then simply rinse and repeat, playing catch with the dwarf until the achievement unlocks.

Don't wait until beating the game to do this, because in Middle Earth you'll be restricted to two characters, and won't be able to toss Gimli back and forth. If you for some reason didn't get it earlier and you've beaten the story, you'll need to go into a story mode chapter with two tall characters and Gimli; the chapter 'Track Hobbits' works beautifully for this. This achievement is also unlocked quicker in co-op because there's no need to switch characters; you can also both work on it at once this way.
