Each level of the game has three treasure items to find. If you want to complete all the fetch quests, which in turn will give you Mithril Bricks, then you will need to find them all. Unlike most collectibles in Lego games, there is not a red bricks that will give you a detector to help you find these items.
This guide lists all three items for every one of the 18 levels in the game, and they are listed in the order with which you will find them. It will also tell you how to get each item. The only thing not included in this guide is the location of each items fetch quests. That is because the quests are clearly marked on the in game map for you, so they are very easy to find.

The missing treasure for Helm’s Deep is the Bandages. After the wall is destroyed you can find the treasure in a dig spot to the right of the break in the wall.
What would make this guide really very helpful is if it also told you where you needed to deliver some of these items, for example the mushroom crown, found on The Black Rider level, needs to be delivered to someone living in a cave just north of Bree.
On the map the green question mark turns into a red exclamation mark once you get an item, so it is quite easy to find where to deliver the item to.
Thanks bro, very helpful!
Very useful, but some of the guides could do with someone writing who knows their right from their left.
Bless you, laddie!
