The Lord of the Rings: Gollum tells the story of what happened to Gollum after he lost the One Ring. Hoping to reclaim it, he left his home in the Misty Mountains and ventured to Mordor, where he was captured and imprisoned by Sauron’s followers. He eventually escaped the Dark Lord's fiery domain, but before he could continue his search, he was captured by a group of Elves.
While imprisoned in the Mirkwood in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, players are slowly given the freedom to explore Thranduil's Halls, where they can find a total of thirteen Collectibles. Seeing as this Chapter features the six different areas, however, players will likely struggle with locating them all.
All Cellar Collectibles In The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum
There are two Collectibles available for players to find during Gollum's time in the Cellars in Chapter 7, both of which can be found shortly after the strange protagonist is released from his cell.
Animal Figurine
After leaving his cell, Gollum can turn left to face a doorway leading deeper into the cellars. Instead of following the passageway to the locked door at the end, players should turn right and enter the well-lit room.
Turning right and traveling to the far side of the room, Gollum can find the Animal Figurine Collectible resting on the table behind the wooden fence next to the door.
Rope
The Rope Collectible can be found in the kitchen, just behind the table in the right-hand corner. To find the kitchen, Gollum should proceed straight across the room outside his cellar and follow the passageway leading to the floor above. Turning left at the end of the passageway, the entrance to the kitchen is directly ahead.
All River Path Collectibles In The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum
After sneaking past the large Elf encampment and reaching the river, Gollum must use the rocks sticking out of the water to continue his escape attempt. Navigating this area can be a little tricky, so it's easy for players to get lost and even easier to miss out on the Collectibles hiding there.
Fish Bones
Traveling along the river, players will eventually spot a pole Gollum can swing to on the left and a collection of purple vines he can leap to on the right.
Players hoping to find the Fish Bones Collectible should run across the wall on the left, jump to and from the pole, and climb the wall ahead. After some more climbing and pole swinging, Gollum will reach the top, where he must turn around and jump to the pole above to swing to a somewhat hidden area. There, he will find the Fish Bones.
Shells
After climbing out of the River Path, Gollum will arrive at a brightly lit area with a mountain he must climb. The Shells Collectible is located just on a large tree Gollum passes while following the path, but he won't be able to reach it until he has climbed pretty high up.
Using the purple vines on the wall, Gollum must climb all the way up until he can use a pole to swing into a small cave. On the other side, he can use some more purple vines to climb on top of the cave itself.
Leaping to the next set of purple vines, Gollum can climb to the right to reach the tree he passed earlier; climbing to the bottom of this tree, he will find the Shells Collectible.
All Great Cavern Collectibles In The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum
After climbing past the rushing river, Gollum must climb to the top of the mountain on his right to progress the story. Once there, two Elves will appear and begin escorting him back to where he came from, forcing him to come up with a new plan of escape. At the beginning of this section, players must follow the Elves past a large pool of water, at the bottom of which, they can find the first and only collectible in this area.
Brooch
Jumping into the water, Gollum should travel to the opposite side and dive at the point depicted in the image above.
At the bottom, he can swim through a small door to reach a cave, inside which the Brooch can be seen on the ground.
All Queen's Waterfall Collectibles In The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum
There are two Collectibles available for players to find at the Queen's Waterfalls, but reaching the second one requires players to first visit the Riddlemaster's Chambers, after which they can ring the bell in the second tower to open the way forward.
Piece Of Marble
The Piece of Marble can be found shortly after beginning the Climb up the first tower and ring the bell objective. Turning left and running up the wall in the corner of this area, Gollum must use the ledge above to circle around to the left-hand side of the cylindrical tower.
After dropping down to the platform below, the Piece of Marble can be found lying on the bench to the left.
Harp String
The Harp String Collectible can be found shortly after Gollum rings the bell in the second tower. Once he has done this, he must climb to the top of the large water-filled structure in the center of the area, turn left, and proceed into the next area.
Eventually, he will need to jump across a large pool of water to progress, but players hoping to find the Harp String should jump into the water itself and swim to the right.
Climbing onto the platform to the right of the partially submerged door, Gollum will find the Harp String.
All Riddlemaster's Chamber Collectibles In The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum
Before Gollum can leave the Queen's Waterfalls, he must first open the door to the Riddlemaster's Chambers and search inside for the Riddlemaster's shell. Here, players can find two more Collectibles.
Splinter
From the entrance of the Riddlemaster's chambers, Gollum should proceed forward through the thin doorway, head up the stairs, and turn left. Walking on the wood chippings in the corner of this room will cause Gollum to stand on a Splinter, which, after a short conversation with Mell, can be collected.
Shiny Button
Climbing into the room behind the basin where Gollum can speak to Mell, players should approach the far right-hand corner and jump up to the climbable ledge above.
Lying next to the yellow pot, Gollum can interact with and acquire the Shiny Button Collectible.
All King's Chambers Collectibles In The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum
Leaving the Queen's Waterfalls and entering the King's Chambers, players can find and acquire two Collectibles, each of which can only be reached if Gollum makes use of the climbable environments spread throughout the area.
Pearl
To find the Pearl Collectible, Gollum must travel to the large door in the center of the area and use the surrounding rock platforms to reach higher ground. Eventually, he will be required to leap past the door he encountered earlier and climb up onto the next platform, where he can jump across the water to reach the triangular platform on the other side.
Dropping down to the platforms on the left, Gollum must run across the wall on the right to reach the platform above where he initially spawned. Then, he can jump across the water once more to reach a small cove. Inside this cove, the Pearl Collectible can be seen lying on the ground.
Badger Claw
Returning to the triangular platform, Gollum must turn right and continue climbing the environment until he reaches the platform with the square hole in the wall. Instead of climbing through it, players should turn to the right and leap to the glowing hand prints on the wall.
Backwards jumping from these hand prints, Gollum will grab onto a previously obscured ledge, where he can backwards jump again to grab another ledge and climb into a hidden area. Here, the Badger Claw can be collected.
All King's Garden Collectibles In The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum
Hoping to escape from the Elves once and for all, Gollum begins traveling through the King's Gardens, where he can find the final two Collectibles The Lord of the Rings: Gollum's seventh chapter has to offer.
Twig & Flower
After sneaking past the large group of Elves and crossing the river, Gollum will be required to climb a large vine-covered tower to reach the next area. While climbing, he will eventually find a large opening leading inside the tower itself, inside which, he can climb to the roof. The Twig and Flower Collectible can be found at the top of the tower, just next to the edge overlooking the previous area.
Bird Bones
After climbing down from the tower and heading through the valley full of face statues, Gollum will need to sneak by another group of Elves in order to escape. Climbing the wall in the far right corner and running across the wall above, he will reach a new area where an Elf is patrolling.
The Bird Bones Collectible can be found here by following the path forward, taking the first right, and walking toward the edge; Gollum will then need to jump down to the lower platform to interact with it. Once this Collectible has been acquired, players will have obtained all Collectibles in Chapter 7.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch release planned for later this year.
