How to unlock the That still only counts as one! achievement in LEGO The Lord of the Rings - Definitive Guide

This achievement is called "That still only counts as one!".

To get the cheevo, you have to defeat an Oliphant as Legolas. The easiest place to get this is during the "Battle of Pellenor Fields", when you have to shoot arrows into an Oliphant's legs in order climb up to the top.

As The Dawn of Don points out in the comments: This should be virtually unmissable in Story mode. Just use Legolas to shoot the arrows into the Oliphant and climb up, and you'll get this before the story will proceed.

You should have added that this the only secret achievement you cannot miss in your first play through of the game. Or even more accurate, you cannot complete Battle of Pellenor Fields without getting this achievement first. I seriously don't know why they made it a secret one. Don't Tell the Elf would have been a better one for a secret achievement.

Actually, I believe you *technically* can miss this. Even in story mode, you could equip a characer with Mithril Gloves, which would let any character swing up onto the Oliphant. For most people that won't be a problem, though.

The ratio for this achievement is higher than the one for completing the final mission of the story, so it's definitely missable. Sadly though I think this might be because it's glitchy :/ Doesn't seem to be unlocking for me anyways.

Think I've figured out how to fix the glitch people have been having with this. It only counts as defeating the Oliphaunt once it leaves the battlefield and a cross appears over its icon. What I was doing was switching straight to Aragorn to take down the other one or quitting if it didn't pop straight away. You need to stay as Legolas until its icon gets a cross through it then the achievement will pop.

I've tried this so often (during the story mode) then in free play and story mode over again, and the only moment when I got it, was when exactly copying what "Mr JuiCyBox MaN" shows in his video. A bit buggy!

Thank you TB1331!! That was my problem, as I was switching characters too quickly.

Didn't unlock for me so it's definitely missable hopefully it's because I was switching character not glitched out completely.

TB1331's solution to the "glitch" worked for me! Thanks mate.

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

Do this on the mission The Battle of Pelennor Fields. Find the Oliphaunt with two markers on his legs and shoot them with Legolas. Swing your way up on top of the Oliphaunt and take out the guards and press B to finish it off.

Please watch the video as I show you exactly how to do this! 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!

During "The Battle of Pelennor Fields" you will face off against 2 waves of Oliphaunt the first has 2 and the 2nd has 3. 1 in each wave has spots where you have to shoot arrows into it and use them to climb. I used Legolas to shoot the arrows then go up the Oliphaunt using the arrows, then climbing the rope hanging down. Defeat the enemy on the very top of the rig on top then stand near the front of the basket and press O to kill it. Trophy pops.

In order to get this achievement play the mission Pellenor Fields as Legolas and shoot your arrows into the leg of the Oliphant and climb them in order to kill it.

(This achievement is almost impossible to miss when going through the main story).

It might be buggy because I somehow did miss it on the primary playthrough smile, although it did unlock on free play.

I thought this would be a story achievement since you can't advance without doing it.

Can not be missed. When you're playing "The Battle at The Pelennor" once you shift to Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, as they arrive at the battlefield, simply head up and eliminate every orc you see (or not, your choice). You will then see an Oliphaunt blocking the way. Use Legolas's bow to shoot its knee, swing on the bar, and jump on a support, then use it to grab the rope. Climb up it and, when you are inside the tower-like structure, head left and onto the plank. Automatically, Legolas will jump onto the oliphaunt's head and shoot it. The trophy pops up immediately afterwards.

This trophy is unmissable in single player, and can only be missed in co-op if Player 2 is Legolas and kills the Oliphaunt, so make sure Player 1 is always Legolas. This trophy will unlock at the end of the Battle of Pelennor Fields level. You will have to shoot arrows into the slots on the Oliphaunt’s leg with , and swing up with Legolas. Take out the enemies on the platform and press when prompted to take down the Oliphaunt.

I'm pretty sure this achievement is practically unmissable, because I believe the Oliphaunts must be defeated to progress in the level, but I suppose it could be missed if you're playing in co-op and your partner eliminates all the opportunities to unlock it.

In both the end of 'The Dead Marshes' and 'The Battle of Pelennor Fields', you'll fight several Oliphaunts which resemble- you guessed it, elephants. In 'The Dead Marches' you won't be playing as Legolas unless you're in free play, so 'The Battle of Pelennor Fields' is where you're most likely to unlock this achievement.

Some Oliphaunts on 'The Battle of Pelennor Fields' have weaknesses to Aragorn's sword and not Legolas' bow and therefore won't work. Other Oliphaunts have pegs on their legs for firing arrows into to swing off of. Do that, and climb up the creature, eliminating all opposition up top. Once you defeat all the foes in the riding the Oliphaunt, the poor creature will flee and the achievement will unlock.

As unlikely as it is, if you do miss this achievement because of a co-op partner stealing all the kills, reenter one of the two previously mentioned levels in free play, select Legolas, and kick some Oliphaunt butt.
