Switch your character to Gandalf the Grey and press and hold the A button while using the directional buttons to move the object onto the silver door and repeat this for all four pieces. Stand infront of the door and you’ll have to solve the puzzle by putting the pieces into the right places. (The two very detailed pieces need to go on the bottom facing the right way and the other two at the top).

After a long cut scene you’ll find yourself by a lake with a monster in the middle.

To defeat the monster start with Gandalf and stand in the water until you see a red target in the water. Press the Y button to shoot at the monster which should make it drop its head; while it’s head is in the water tap the Y button as many times as possible to hurt the monster (if your hitting it, it will turn green). When it retreats into a large green head in the middle of the water, switch your character to Legolas by pressing the X button and shoot at the green head to reduce it’s health bar at the right of the screen. Repeat this until you have defeated the monster.

To the left and right of the well you’ll see two boxes, smash these up by pressing the Y button next to them to reveal two piles of LEGO pieces. Press and hold the A button next to each pile to rebuild the well.

In the next area, switch your character to Legolas and aim and shoot the targets to the left and right of the door to release some handles. Jump onto one of the handles and your partner will jump on the other to release a wooden plank securing the door.

Next to the door you’ll see an object, press the Y button to shoot/break up the object and then press and hold the A button to guard the door. The door will break open and a number of enemies will come out. Defeat all of the enemies until you see a short cut scene.

After the cut scene you’ll be faced with another boss in the form of a giant troll. In order to defeat the troll you need to switch your character to Gandalf and build a rock with the pieces in the middle of the room by pressing and holding the Y button.
