To get 100% in the game you will have to complete and collect many things. Here is the order you should do to complete the game to 100%.

1. Complete story mode(Don't worry about collecting anything)

2. Complete the bonus level.(Follow the path after you complete story mode)

3. Gather all collectibles in Free Play and get true adventurer in every level. (Video Guide Below) Or use this playlist - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvTqvWLf5rpkfuIt4-P7s9...

Use these cheat codes to help you with the collectibles and getting true adventurer.

Studs x2 - 1F5YH2
Minikit Chest Finder - A24TVJ
Fast Build - A2LU58
Attract Studs - C7FJ7B
Berserker (Destroys shiny metal legos) - UE5Z7H
Shagrat (Pulls orange handles) - PJB6MV

4. After you completed that you should go around the hub completing all fetch quests which give you red bricks or Mithril bricks, buying all characters, finding the remaining blacksmith designs you need, unlocking every map stone and grabbing all Mithril bricks by completing the small tasks at them.

Except for quests, all Mithril bricks, blacksmith designs, map stones, and characters show up on your map.

Use these cheat codes to help you locate Mithril bricks and quests.

Mithril Brick Finder - B72D7E
Quest Finder - EY4K32

5. After all that go to Hobbiton and create a custom character in your house there.

You should now have 100%!

If you are stuck at 99% or above due to a glitch then use these cheat codes and they will get you 100% and any other achievements that may have glitched on you.

They only work if you are at least 99% or above so don't think you can just rent the game and get 1000G by entering these codes.

Here is my complete video guide on all 18 levels of the game in Free Play. Before collecting anything I suggest you take a look at my post here to avoid a glitch with collectibles. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=40...

The levels are all in order

Good guide, but I'm never buying another Lego game again, they're such a fucking joke; complete glitchy messes; the number of times I've had to restart a level because something fucked up is ridiculous.

By Acceleretto on 21 Mar 2013 12:42

Thanks for the videos. They make finding those hidden treasures much easier!

By risseless on 28 Dec 2012 06:16

Your welcome! Make sure to have annotations on so you know which ones I picked up are. :)

By jordaOwO on 28 Dec 2012 11:47

Awesome guide. But I am glitched at 100% and no ability to get the complete all fetch quest achievement. The five codes you have to unlock glitched achievements do not work.

By LawGuru77 on 29 Dec 2012 21:27

They worked for others. Not sure why it didn't work for you. The codes only unlock certain achievements like get 100% and others. It doesn't unlock the one for getting all mithril bricks for some reason though I heard.

By jordaOwO on 01 Jan 2013 13:43

Great guide, you can see a lot of time went into this and it's worth it! Cheers!

By LuffeZolo on 02 Jan 2013 02:30

Thank you! I was stuck at 99.5% and one Mithril block "missing". I spent 2 freaking hours looking around via fast travel and such with no arrows or guidance pinging on the mystery block...then I read your post and realixed it was a glitch. popped in the first code and BOOM! Thanks again!

By MRKNRK on 04 Jan 2013 20:44

Your welcome!

By jordaOwO on 04 Jan 2013 21:56

Im hoping those codes work for me cuz i know im missing a glitch treasure chest:(

By Lil Silent One on 05 Jan 2013 01:20

I had to write this down, i also tried all 5 codes at 99.8% and they did not work for me, so i cleared my system cache and tryed again without the update, ping, achievement unlocked, hope this works for anyone else that the codes are not working for!

By B NIZZLE1982 on 24 Mar 2013 06:32

watching these videos makes me realize something. I'm freaking blind....

By BrEn v Noble Q on 18 Jan 2013 16:43

How did you guys clear the system cache? I deleted some stuff in the system folder, but it didn't work. Can u help?

By JeffLerio75 on 09 Nov 2013 20:11

Go to storage and then go to the storage device you want to clear. Then hit Y and go to clear system cache.

By jordaOwO on 09 Nov 2013 20:15

I had 2 glitched minikit chests and stuck at 98,5% and the codes worked for me, thanks

By SILVERsifDURFER on 17 Nov 2013 22:17

I used the cheats and it didn't give me the Mithril brick achievement Instead it change all my mithril bricks to Mithril purple coins someone please help don't want to play this shit again! I can't delete the patch because I have the games on demand version (or can you) if you know away let me know please

By Stealth David on 19 Feb 2014 23:11

I can't get the treasures in Taming Gollum. When I look at my inventory, it shows I have them all, but when I look at the map, it shows I have 0/3.

When I load up the level, I can grab the Snowman Hood, but it still won't update to 1/3. When I go to the Rock hat, it doesn't appear.

By NeverUnlucky#344 on 07 Jun 2014 15:21

gamerboyTHXtss thank you!!! I have the games on demand version and got the 0/3 treasure glitch on two levels, Tracking Hobbits and The Dead Marshes. I was missing those two Mithril Bricks which left me hanging at 98.6% completion. Last night I tried the first code from the guide and nothing happened, then tried the second and BAM! 5 achievements unlocked. (100%, all characters, collect all red bricks, collect all mithril bricks, and craft every item).

lolmanXO try the codes near the bottom of the guide instead of going back and playing the level.

By ELEMENT5 x261x on 17 Jul 2014 17:40

Was stuck at 99,2%. Thanks for this

Thumbs up.

By LRD SOTH on 16 Oct 2014 00:39

Thank ya!

By jordaOwO on 16 Oct 2014 03:25

It popped for me without having to create a custom character

By argusyoung on 17 Oct 2014 16:29

Codes worked for the downloaded version!! Only had to enter the first one. Hallelujah!!! Thnx for this guide

By creeping monte on 08 Jan 2015 14:02

Thanks for the 99% code.. stupid glitch prevented me from getting the last brick

By GsO Light on 29 Aug 2018 00:04

I was stuck at 98.5% because I got 4/3 treasures in one level which reset them to 0/3 after finishing level. This prevented me from getting last mithril item crafted at blacksmith, which meant I couldn't finish last fetch quest, stopping me from getting last red brick. Used the first two codes W5EJVP & RYPWVD. This unlocked my 100% achievements and last mithril item. Turned in last fetch quest and then I went and cleaned up last remaining achievements and was done!!

By AgentSmith03 on 06 Dec 2022 05:37

Thanks for mentioning creating a custom character was at 99.8% before that

By BigWiIIieStyIe on 14 Oct 2023 19:44

I did. =) Thumbs up from me.

My only suggestion would be to add an annotation in Amon Hen that says if you already have the Mithril Shockwave Axe, to skip to the end of the video to see how to get the treasure. I already had it, but didn't know I needed it there until I'd already passed that point, so I had to start over and do it again just to get it. Minor point though, since it's not too far in.

By risseless on 28 Dec 2012 20:37

Was stuck at 99,8% and did what B NIZZLE1982 said, worked on 1st code.

THE THING IS:
I had a locked char next to Haldir and didn't know what it was and didn't find any decent list to go through them all.
After system cache and the code, I checked again and turns out it is "Lothlorien Elf" which I am completely certain I had bought already.
Anyways, if this happens to someone else, he might want to go and try buy that Elf again before clearing cache.

By Phoenix C64 on 11 Jun 2013 11:05

thank you . B NIZZLE1982 i was stuck at 99.5% with one of the Mithril blocks not logged and the codes would not work, i tried all of them multiple times and then read your comment.
deleted system cache and the first code popped 4 achievements for me

Topherion

TrueAchievements

18 Nov 2012 11:31

This is awarded for gathering all Mithril bricks, creating all Mithril items, collecting all treasure trove items, obtaining true adventurer in each level, collecting all of the minikits, gathering all of the red bricks, finishing all fetch quests, finding all blacksmith designs, and obtaining all of the characters. (Note, a few of those steps, such as finishing the fetch quests, contribute to other objectives.)

In case you find yourself at 99.8% completion with nothing else to do, fast travel back to Hobbiton: this will reward you with the last unlock able character, Lurtz (Newborn). (This final character does not seem to be needed for the character achievement.)

I actually had to use the customizer to edit a character before it popped for me.

By Mad In Craft on 20 Nov 2012 01:46

I had all characters, including the blacksmith and was at 99.8% as Topherion mentioned above. When I fast traveled back to Hobbiton as Topherion recommended, it popped. "There and Back Again" may require that you return to Hobbiton (would make sense, yes?).

By Saved by Zer0 on 23 Nov 2012 17:09

Thanks for the tip about being stuck on 99.8%, I was worried for a moment, that I'd missed something.

By Hooded Claw 006 on 28 Nov 2012 17:14

I had the same as Mad In Craft above, had to customise a character before it popped.

By Hooded Claw 006 on 28 Nov 2012 17:17

Remember to stand outside Bag-End and press B for the final cutscene. Pretty sure that wasn't there before I had 100%.

By Hooded Claw 006 on 28 Nov 2012 18:08

i had 99,98%, and back to hobbitown, but no cheevos, so, tryied to go back the night, and achievements, pop, so i think, that was the right thing to do, and this achievements isn't buggy for me; sorry 4 my poor english :)

By Raccoon28200 on 29 Nov 2012 00:42

Went back at night, nothing. Had to go back during the day, and then like Hooded Claw says, the cut scene circlet thing appeared, and achievement popped.

By Murtland on 01 Dec 2012 20:13

Worked for me at night. The glowing arrow also appears outside Bag End for the final cutscene.

By bungle2403 on 02 Dec 2012 12:09

If u aren't at 99% do not enter any of the codes it messes up the whole game and u end up having to do it all over again I'm really pissed it's taken me 4 weeks to get to 96.7% all for nothing <:(

By xArcadeMaster94 on 24 Dec 2012 21:12

Unfortunately the game is glitched pretty bad. I am almost done completing the game but have had these glitches prevent me from doing so;. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1. In Amon Hen, I can replay the mole hitting game as many times as I want, receiving the brick only to have it taken away right after.

2. In tracking hobbits, getting all 3 treasures but stating 0 of 3 collected, therefore missing out on the brick you get for completing it. ( items show in inventory but not for the level ).

3. Showing 234 bricks collected out of a possible 250. Is that even possible?

I have one item to craft left for 16 bricks but cannot do so because of the one I can't get from either one of these levels. Not sure which level would be the correct one for getting it though.
