How To Unlock All Lego The Hobbit Characters

Here’s how to find, unlock & buy the hidden characters in this guide for Lego The Hobbit.

Play Tip: The majority of the Lego The Hobbit characters are unlocked from finishing story missions (the 16 Story Mode Levels). Some are just fully unlocked from completing missions, others are made available to purchase with studs. Some characters you could otherwise buy, can be unlocked via cheat codes as well as 8 via Characters Pack downloadable content (DLC)* which appear as blacked out in the bottom row of the character select screen. All of which are listed below.

How To Buy Characters & Map Tip: There is no one location to buy characters in this game. Instead, you must find them walking around in areas of the overworld, by exploring this Middle-earth open world hub. — This is made quite easy once you access the Map Stones in the area, as the characters appear as big circles of their face on the map and you can set waypoints on them to reach them directly.

When To Buy Characters: Please note, most characters are not able to be purchased until you have finished the 16 Story Mode missions of the game. Also, be sure to have a good amount of studs on you if you plan on trying to buy a few characters in one session.

* There are 8 spots on the character select screen, which are reserved for downloadable content (DLC) characters in the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 & PC versions. Which at first will only be available via pre-order, but are sure to be released in two of the three $4.99 paid DLC Packs sometime after the April 2014 release (each with 4 characters in it). – Usually the portable system versions have such characters readily available in-game.

Note: The 8 last spots on the character select screen’s bottom-left side are for the custom characters you can create in Lake-town.
