How to unlock the That one counts as mine! achievement in LEGO The Lord of the Rings - Definitive Guide
The key here is to defeat an enemy that is in combat with Gimli. For me, I just stood near Gimli and let the enemies come to us, and the cheevo popped after one of the enemies attacked Gimli. Watch the video as I show you the earliest way to get it in the level.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment and let me know if there is anything I can do to improve my solution, thanks!
This is obtained on the second section of the Helms Deep level. Free play is not required as you control Legolas naturally through the story.
For an opponent to count as Gimli's, they must climb one of the three ladders with a Gimli smash plate in front of it. As long as legolas kills an enemy from one of those ladders, the achievement will pop.
Any questions, just ask.
Once this is done stay as legolas and constantly run up and down killing all mobs allowing the Gimli to attack a few and the achievement will pop in no time.
(If this does not work try switching to Gimli and attacking an enemy once or twice and switching back to Legolas to finish them off).
This trophy must be obtained in Story mode on the “Helm’s Deep” level. This is easiest to get during the part where you must knock the ladders off the ramparts. You get attacked by an unlimited stream of orcs until you knock the ladders down, so switch to Legolas and keep killing the orcs attacking your party until you get this. If you find that they aren’t attacking Gimli, switch to him with to draw the heat onto him, then quickly switch back to Legolas and attack the orcs.
If you haven’t done so already, you should aim to unlock Pointy-eared Elvish princeling. at the same time.
This achievement can only be earned on the eleventh story chapter, Helm's Deep.
In the level Helm's Deep in story mode, you'll have Gimli, Legolas, and Aragorn as playable characters, which works perfectly for this achievement. Don't use Aragorn as he has no use here.
In the level, the attacking Urak-Hai take two hits to be killed. The first hit eliminates their armor, while the second deals the killing blow. To get the achievement, deal the first strike on an enemy as Gimli, and then finish them off with Legolas.
The achievement doesn't seem to unlock a lot of the time, and I didn't get it right away. If you are following the above instructions with no luck, simply consistently alternate as Gimli and Legolas while fighting Urak-Hai and the achievement will unlock before too long. If you don't get the achievement on your first story mode playthrough, replay the level and try again. It seems to unlock more if the two hits by both characters are done in quick succession, so doing this in co-op will prove easier because of not needing to switch characters for each hit. You can simply have your buddy be Gimli and strike immediately after, and then he can take a turn being Legolas to get the achievement himself.
