- — Gollum
Riddle-earth is a playable level in LEGO Dimensions based around The Lord of the Rings.
Story Mode Plot[]
After escaping Aperture Science, the trio find themselves diving into the gateway searching for an unspecified foundation element. Upon leaving the rift, Gandalf realizes, to this relief, that they are in Middle-earth - specifically, Minas Tirith. Gandalf confidently states that the heroes will be welcome there, but is shocked to see that Orcs have taken over the castle.
After defending themselves from the Orcs and summoning the Animal King Turret to destroy a blockade, they make their way into the castle only to discover that The Riddler is in control of the castle and forces the heroes to venture through three rooms, where they have to disable each room’s corresponding locks. The first room features a fight with the Digital Overlord, the second features a fight with Brainiac and the third has been converted into a test chamber by GLaDOS. While progressing through these rooms, The Riddler gives three clues to an upcoming fight in the form of riddles.
After all the locks are removed, the heroes approach The Riddler, only to discover that his riddles were alluding to the fact that he has taken control of the Balrog and he challenges the heroes to a fight. Using the Keystones, the trio are able to push the Balrog over the castle walls and confront The Riddler. Gollum climbs up the wall and grabs The Riddler's leg, causing them both to fall from the castle onto a Fellbeast that flies into a rift. Batman grabs the Palantir (the foundation element they were looking for) from Riddler‘s former possession, and the trio escape through a rift.

- Boromir is found behind the door where GLaDOS made a test chamber, and to save him you will need a flying vehicle. Jump into it and hover to the top. Once there, you will notice Boromir in an energy prison. To free Boromir, back your ship away from the wall and you should notice a Flight Dock. Place your flying ship into the dock (landing into it) and perform the flight dock ability, which will free Boromir.
