Lego The Hobbit Minikits Locations Guide

Our Lego The Hobbit Minikits Locations Guide shows all the criteria necessary to collect all 160 Minikits in the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC, Xbox One, PS4, PS Vita & 3DS game. In the Lego LOTR game this would’ve been known as the Lego The Hobbit Treasure Chests Locations Guide.

Finding all 160 Minikit locations and picking them up will help unlock the following Achievement / Trophy:
* “Our Long Forgotten Gold” (25 Gamerscore / Silver Trophy) — Collected all Minikits.
* Bonus: Each level you complete with all 10 Minikits found gives you an extra Mithril Brick as reward.

Goal: There are 160 total, 10 Minikits per each of the 16 levels of the game. Having all 10 for a level completes a Minikit that can be viewed in Rivendell in a building with a picture of a Minikit on it.

Remember, you need to select Free Play to replay story missions being able to use all characters you have unlocked. I first suggest you have all characters unlocked before you go for many of these just to be fully safe you have all abilities needed for all collectibles in all levels. It is not a must, but it would greatly help.

The Timeline for all these in-game Minikits locations is listed below.

Lego The Hobbit Minikits Locations Guide

Here’s how to find Minikits in this guide for Lego The Hobbit.

Protip: Go and find the “Minikit Detector” Red Brick first (known in previous games as the “Minikit Piece Finder”). It’ll make it a lot easier to find all the Minikits around you wherever you are. You can unlock it by finding it in Middle-earth.
You have to have the blacksmith make the Mithril Bandit Gloves and give it to the woman who gave you the “Spoils of War” quest, she needs it for her sister who serves in Thranduil’s guard. On the map look between the words Rivendell, Erebor & Esgaroth to find a deserted area near the mountains. Set the “Spoils of War” as your destination, and get to her by traveling through Thranduil’s Kingdom. Then you can buy it for 150,000 studs.

Below we’ve listed the Minikits in the order you might find them in as you progress through the game. Take the following steps to unlock each one; where available.
