LEGO The Lord of the Rings: Characters Unlock via Gameplay, Not Purchase

Characters cannot be purchased. All 80+ characters unlock via gameplay:

• Story Mode: Complete levels → unlock story characters.
• Free Play: Replay levels with unlocked chars to access new areas → more characters.
• Mithril Bricks: Collect 250 bricks → forge Mithril items → unlock specific characters (e.g., Sauron, Witch-king).
• Middle-earth Hub: Find character tokens in open world (blue sparkles).

No DLC adds characters. The "Season Pass" only added Red Brick multipliers and a few bonus levels.
