Lego Lord of the Rings Character Guide

There are 74 playable characters that you can unlock in this game. Many of them are unlocked automatically as you complete levels or tasks. Others need to be found in Middle-earth, and purchased. Usually you can find the character easily by selecting them on the map and following the trail of ghost studs to their location. Because of this, most characters in this guide only contain their location. However, sometimes you may need a little more information about how to find them, and when that happens, this guide provides that information for you.

All our characters in this guide are listed in the same order that they are in your game. So, if you are missing one, you only need to look at the characters either side, then find them on the list to see which one you are missing, and how to get them.
