(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).

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.
