The LEGO Movie Videogame 100% guide

Complete the opening sequence normally.

Any hacking minigame counts for the next achievement, so take it on the first hack you play. If it does not unlock in the story, two guaranteed later chances are the hacking terminal at the start of Level 11 in Free Play and the Bonus Room hacking terminal in Phase 4.

The first Instruction Build is the easiest place to protect a perfect build. When the build interface appears, identify the correct piece quickly. Pausing before selecting is safe if you want a moment to locate it.

After Level 1, the Bricksburg hub opens between levels. Handle three things here during the story.

Enter the five code-only characters. At the large LEGO kit floating to the left of the Bricksburg police station, enter each code below. If a 6LK code is refused, use the alternative in brackets.

• 6LK78NN9 (HVLH63VL): Angry Kitty
• 6LKMNDHR (HVLLRX6R): Blacktron Fan
• 6LK3FRL6 (HVL4TQT4): Johnny Thunder
• 6LK3RRY4 (HVL4TB94): Robo Pilot

Then open the pause menu, go to Extras > Enter Code, and enter BC2XJ5 for Vitruvius (Young). These characters cannot be bought, codes do not disable achievements, and the Pants these codes unlock do not count toward the Pants achievement. If the kit box does not accept codes yet, enter them after the story. Do not use the other character codes; buy those characters with studs.

Optional early Studs x2. After Level 4, Vitruvius (Old) gives you the Secret Knock. You can then do Studs x2 and Collect Guide Studs early, using the steps in Phase 2, so the rest of the story pays double. Sheriff-Not-A-Robot also becomes buyable after Level 4. Anything you skip here is still available after the story.

When the second Master Build opportunity appears in the alley, switch to Emmet before interacting with the Master Build circle. Emmet is not a Master Builder, which is exactly what this achievement needs.

Emmet Cowboy becomes usable here. Start accumulating enemy kills with him whenever combat is convenient. Revolver kills and normal attacks both work. If you do not reach 30 during the story, finish the total during Free Play rather than wasting time farming now.

Continue the story normally. The rooftop chase collectibles are much easier to handle in Free Play.

Continue through the train sequence. Do not restart for missed manuals or the Pants; Free Play makes all of them recoverable.

Play through the introduction to Cloud Cuckoo Land normally. The Invisible Jet and the rest of the collectibles are reserved for Free Play.

After Unikitty breaks free, the game gives you Rage Unikitty for a combat wave containing enough enemies to finish her achievement naturally. Hold B as Unikitty to enrage her, keep her enraged, and use her for the entire wave instead of switching away.

Continue the story normally.

The underwater collectibles are all recoverable in Free Play, so prioritize finishing the level rather than combing every side tunnel now.

When you take control of MetalBeard, stop at the section with endlessly replenishing enemies (they spawn in groups of four) before pushing the objective too far.

The Kragelizer dance has 21 prompts. Just like the Construction Site dance, every prompt must score Awesome in one attempt. If you miss, restart the dance instead of accepting the result.

The Server Room contains three Master Build circles. Use Benny for all three. Do not let another Master Builder perform one of them during this story pass.

Continue the story normally. The level's manuals and Pants can all be taken cleanly in Free Play.

The story places Superman and Green Lantern into the active sequence. Play through their required sections normally.

Finish the story. There is no permanent endgame lockout; after the credits you can return to every hub and replay all 15 levels in Free Play.

You can only buy characters in a hub. Hold Y and choose the bottom option on the character wheel, or walk up to the character in the hub. A character becomes buyable once the story level that unlocks it is finished, so you can shop between story levels.

Free story unlocks you will rely on:

• Vitruvius (Old) after Level 4 (Secret Knock)
• Batman after Level 5 (grapple)
• Unikitty after Level 6 (rainbow)
• Benny after Level 7 (hacking)
• Bad Cop after Level 12 (laser)
• Blaze Firefighter after Level 13 (extinguisher)
• Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern after Level 14 (flight)

MetalBeard (Minifigure) is not free: he costs 250,000 studs after Level 10.

Buy these for the achievements below (2,750,000 studs in total):

• Lord Business (Minifigure): 1,000,000, buyable after Level 15
• Vitruvius (Ghost): 750,000, buyable after Level 15
• Sheriff-Not-A-Robot: 500,000, buyable after Level 4
• Good Cop (Scribble Face): 300,000, buyable after Level 12
• Lady Liberty: 150,000, buyable after Level 9
• Ma Cop: 25,000, buyable after Level 10
• Pa Cop: 25,000, buyable after Level 10

Also buy these:

• Mrs. Scratchen-Post, 10,000: needed to start the Studs x10 cat quest.
• Demolition Guy, 50,000: silver objects and fire spots.
• Robo Fed, 25,000: gold objects, if Bad Cop is not yet free.
• A firestarter: Caveman (100,000) or Lady Liberty.
• An extinguisher: Blaze Firefighter is free; Yeti (100,000) is also reported to work.

If you have not entered the five code-only characters yet, do it now. The codes are listed in Phase 1 under the Bricksburg hub.

Use the two-character party in a hub for the next four quick achievements.

If you already did Studs x2 or Collect Guide Studs during the story, skip them here.

Studs x2 (250,000):

1. Use Vitruvius (Old)'s Secret Knock on the wall of the building to the left of the construction site.
2. Inside, smash the barrels and build the blue-and-white beam. Cross it as Vitruvius.
3. At the upper crane, pull the lever to lower the moving platform, then ride it down.
4. Go left to the broken lower crane and repair it with Emmet's wrench.
5. The crane flings a plaque near the fountain. Push it along the tiles into the green slot at the front of the fountain.

Buy Studs x2 and turn it on.

Collect Guide Studs (50,000): Rearrange three billboards with Master Builds. The brick appears on the grass near the train station.

• Billboard 1: In the housing area across the road from Emmet's house, smash the pink-and-blue fence and build the climbing wall. Climb up, smash the bench on that rooftop ledge, and use the Master Build spot. This is not the red street bench.
• Billboard 2: Take the stairs behind the ice-cream truck to the train station, then climb the net on the right to the roof. Smash the dumpster in the middle and use the Master Build spot.
• Billboard 3: In the Studs x2 knock room, ride the lowered platform down. Go to the far left past the barriers, smash the debris, and use the Master Build spot.

Fast Repair (listed as 100,000 or 200,000; the in-game shop price is what counts): Collect three Instruction Pages, then complete the Instruction Build pad near the train station. It builds an ice-cream truck, and the brick appears nearby.

• Page 1: Go through the construction-site gate, turn left, and drill the cracked ground.
• Page 2: Go back up to the Billboard 1 rooftop. Throw Vitruvius's staff into the blue-and-white socket on the left, then swing along the poles to the balcony.
• Page 3: This is inside the train station, in the same room as cat E below. It needs Lord Business.

Pants Detector (200,000):

1. Go to the park in the lower residential area outside Emmet's house. Do not smash the two staffed stands or the archway near the house. If you already did, leave through the portal and come back to restore them.
2. Smash the tree in the right corner of the park to reveal a Master Build spot.
3. Build the stands and archway into a large watering-can vehicle. The brick appears nearby.

One source says this brick only appears after the story is complete, so do it now.

Studs x10 (5,000,000): Buy Mrs. Scratchen-Post and select her. Talk to her outside her apartment beside the Dispantsery to start the quest. She asks for five lost cats. Each cat you find follows you; walk it back to her.

• Cat A: Climb the train-station stairs, then the second set of stairs. Go left to the terminal and hack it with Benny.
• Cat B: Smash the rainbow bricks by the police-station steps with Unikitty and build the launch pad. Launch onto the roof by the construction site, then shoot the target on the porta-potty.
• Cat C: Climb the Billboard 1 route in the fenced area. Drop onto the bar in the near-right corner and hop into the small alcove with boxes.
• Cat D: Smash the red street bench to the left of Emmet's house. Build the grapple point and have Batman pull the balcony down.
• Cat E: Smash the red dumpster beside the vehicle outside the construction-site entrance and build the Business pad. As Lord Business with the giant legs, hit the big red switch on the right side of the train station, behind a tree. The cat is inside. Fast Repair page 3 is in the same room.

If the bench cat glitches, rescue another cat and check that the counter goes up by one more than you expected. If it does, the bench cat was already counted. Do not leave the bench cat for last, because this check needs another cat to rescue afterward. If you are still one short, look for a stray cat inside the café under the train station.

Studs x10 costs 5,000,000, so buy it after the cheaper multipliers are running. Turn on Pants Detector for the Free Play sweep.

Studs x4 (500,000): Talk to the banker outside the bank. Three robbers have his gold. Return each gold bar to him, and the brick appears by the bank door after the third.

• Barn robber: At the building left of the bank, use the Master Build spot at the cactus to build stairs. Climb to the second floor, push the box off the ledge, then build the firestarter panel and light it with a firestarter.
• Saloon robber: Climb the side steps to the Saloon balcony and Secret Knock the door.
• Jail robber: Get onto the jail rooftop around the Sheriff's office and grapple the outhouse door open.

Buy Studs x4 and turn it on.

Fast Build (100,000): The large building to the right of the entrance, beside the graveyard, has fires in three upper windows. Put all three out with Blaze Firefighter (Yeti is also reported to work).

Fast Drill (100,000): Startle five birds.

1. Corral: At the corral across from the Pants Changing Station, smash the rainbow object and build the butterfly.
2. Building left of the bank: Master Build the stairs, smash the basket on the second floor, and build the chimney.
3. Bank: Climb the net on the side of the bank and use the bar to reach the roof. Drill the cracked panel under the bird.
4. Saloon: Climb to the Saloon balcony and high-jump onto the bar to reach the roof. Slide down the rope on the right to the Sheriff's roof and hack the terminal.
5. Graveyard: At the church, blow up the silver crate, build the lever, and pull it.

Gold Instruction Page Detector (200,000): The brick is on top of the Saloon, the large green building straight ahead from the portal and to the right of the bank. Take the side steps to the balcony, high-jump onto the bar to reach the roof, and head left. The brick is near a catapult.

Character Studs (100,000): Collect three Instruction Pages, then complete the build pad in the centre to make a well. Use the well's wrench switch with Emmet.

• Page 1: In the horse pen beside the Pants Changing Station, grab the page with Vitruvius.
• Page 2: On the left side of the Saloon roof, smash the water tower.
• Page 3: Laser the gold door of the jail beside the Sheriff's office.

Buy every brick and turn on Gold Instruction Page Detector.

Studs x6 (1,000,000):

1. Laser the gold wall to the right of the rainbow bridge.
2. Hop across the moving flowers to the panel area.
3. There are three block puzzles. For each one, stand on its buttons to rotate the blocks until they match the picture behind them, then step off to lock it.
4. Solving all three spawns the brick.

Buy it and turn it on.

Fast Boomerangs (100,000): Light three firework panels with a firestarter.

1. In the main area by the stairs to the portal, smash the rainbow object, build the ladder, and climb up.
2. Blow open the silver wall to the left of the rainbow bridge and hop across the moving flower. Smash the rainbow table, build the launch pad, and launch to the far cloud.
3. Ride the moving jet to the third cloud.

Fast Secret Knock (100,000):

1. Go through the silver wall to the left of the rainbow bridge and hop across the moving flower.
2. Master Build the floating objects into a spiral staircase and climb it.
3. Cross the rope into the tower room. The brick is in the centre.

Red Brick Detector (200,000): Collect three Instruction Pages, then complete the carousel build pad in the centre of the main area.

• Page 1: Shoot the target on the building to the left of the rainbow bridge, then high-jump through the opening.
• Page 2: This page is in the Fast Secret Knock tower room.
• Page 3: In the gold-wall area to the right of the bridge, grapple the building to lower it and go through the opening.

Attract Studs (600,000): Repair three Unikitty jack-in-the-boxes with Emmet's wrench.

1. Grapple the giant teacup in the main area to pull it over. Repair the box that falls out.
2. The second box is on the platform inside the silver-wall area, to the right.
3. The third box is in the gold-wall area room, the same room as Red Brick Detector page 3.

The Red Brick Detector arrow can point at this brick's spot before all three boxes are done.

Buy every brick. Turn on Attract Studs.

While you are in this hub, go into The Dog, the Master Builders' meeting building, and use the character customizer.

Every brick here needs a flying character (Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, or Vitruvius (Ghost)). Bring a Secret Knock character too. Most tasks run through the ledge above the TV Studio.

Invincibility (100,000):

1. Fly to the ledge above the TV Studio and Secret Knock the wall panel.
2. Step onto the platform and press the console. This opens the door at the end of the hallway and sends a large green ball rolling.
3. The brick is inside that office.

While you are on this ledge, operate all three consoles.

Extra Hearts (100,000): Pull down five Emmet holograms with grapple points. The brick appears on the ledge above the TV Studio.

1. By the portal, smash the silver box and build the grapple point.
2. Up the stairs, repair the broken console with the wrench and activate it. Smash the box that appears and build the grapple point.
3. Climb the net across from the TV Studio, push the box off, and build the grapple point.
4. Pull the grapple point on the ledge above the TV Studio.
5. Pull the grapple point inside the Invincibility office.

Regenerate Hearts (100,000): Build three rainbow dance pads with Unikitty.

1. In the portal room, laser the gold panel to the left of the staircase and build the rainbow pieces.
2. Up the stairs to the left, smash the rainbow-bordered Lord Business poster and build.
3. The left console on the ledge above the TV Studio releases the last rainbow pieces.

Studs x8 (2,500,000):

1. The centre console on the ledge above the TV Studio opens the studio.
2. Inside, pull the lever to spin the wheel.
3. Clear each event the spin creates, then spin again.
4. The brick appears when the wheel lands on it. This is random and can take anywhere from 3 to more than a dozen spins.

Buy it and turn it on.

Fast Hack (100,000):

1. Do Invincibility first. Its green ball leaves green Lantern pieces in the portal room.
2. Have Green Lantern build the pieces. This hits a red button and reveals a Business pad.
3. Use the pad as Lord Business and hit the red wall switch in the corner to the left of the broken lift. The lasers on the upper ledge shut off.
4. Ride the lift up for the brick.

Buy every remaining Red Brick. With Studs x2, x4, x6, x8, and x10 active, later levels shower you with studs.

• Destroy all five security cameras: two in the first construction area, two in the second, and one after the conveyor section. The first two respawn after you return from the Deconstruction Zone side area, so destroy them again.
• In the opening area, open the gold lock on the right and destroy all 11 mobile homes in the side challenge.
• In that same side route, use the Lord Business interaction, cross the flaming-gas section, hit the switch, and collect the manual on the left.
• In the second major construction area, use Unikitty on the rainbow wall at the far right for another manual.
• During the final falling sequence, when Emmet lands on the spike, press X at the prompt to bounce right onto the rainbow path. The manual is in the middle of the final stud ring (about the fifth) on that path.
• If you did not earn the Pants from the Story dance, replay the Construction Site dance and score at least three Awesome results. If Free Play will not let you dance, replay the level in Story.

Before leaving the first room, switch to Bad Cop and use his contextual attack on the chair near the front of the area.

• During the falling section, collect the manual in the lower-center stud-ring path.
• During the rolling section, hit all five pairs of tan hanging sacks on poles, in this order: on the higher left path near the start; halfway along a high ledge on the right; just left of the mine entrance; above the tracks just past the tunnel exit; and, after the tracks end, about halfway along the right ledge (jump left, then across to it).
• After the mine-shaft sequence, stay on the rail route to its end for a manual.
• Extinguish the campfire for another manual.
• In the final section, use Vitruvius's secret knock on the left-side door of the ledge for the last manual.
• For the Pants, melt the rear gold lock, cross the fence route, use the fireworks target and rebuilt net, climb to the roof, drill the cracked panel, and enter the barn.

If Pow Pow! Bullet Bullet! Gun! did not unlock during Story Mode, keep using Emmet Cowboy against enemies during this replay until his cumulative total reaches 30.

The rooftop fight with three enemy ladders is a convenient farm before you destroy all three ladders. Switch to Sheriff Not-A-Robot and defeat enemies until his achievement unlocks.

• At the opening, fly left to the separate train car, open the gold hatch, and drop inside. Destroy the two gold-bar piles, rebuild the safe mechanism, and solve the two dot-row alignment panels to open the Pants chest.
• Back outside, fly left past the hatch and destroy the rainbow object for a manual.
• After knocking the logs loose, collect the manual floating above the log car.
• After Bad Cop breaks open the brown train car, enter it and defeat the robot inside for a manual.
• After applying the brakes to the foreground train, backtrack left to the burning car and destroy the water tank to extinguish it and reveal a manual.
• After crossing the rebuilt bridge, drop through the blasted hole in the train-car roof and move right for the final manual.

At the start, use the rainbow cloud on the right to create the launch route up toward the storm cloud. Trigger the rain so the Invisible Jet becomes visible, then destroy it.

Use Lord Business during the opening combat and fully Kragelize hostile robots. Hold the Kragle action until each target is visibly stuck.

• At the opening, fly to the far left side of the submarine for a manual.
• Before leaving Vitruvius's opening section, fly to the far right side for another manual. Collect it before advancing because the later route covers that side of the area for the rest of the replay.
• During Unikitty's build section, destroy all three rainbow flags and rebuild the pieces into fireworks for a manual.
• In the same area, destroy all three gold flowers for another manual.
• After knocking down the platform later in the route, drill the cracked block and open the revealed box for the final manual.
• At the far-right large box, open the gold lock, let Green Lantern build the lantern pieces into a chainsaw, and use the result against the attacking gunship to reveal the Pants.

• During the first descent, break the gold rocks on the left for a manual.
• At the moving-platform section, fly above the platform for the manual before the area floods; if you advance first, you can still swim back to it after flooding.
• In the underwater tunnel, use a ranged character to open all five treasure chests for a manual.
• When the tunnel turns right, break the gold rocks on the left and enter the hidden route. Destroy all three gold pufferfish for the Pants.
• In the same underwater tunnel, use the hidden opening above the left side of the rock wall to reach another manual.
• After passing the school of fish in the darker section, swim straight down and then right into the hidden alcove for the final manual.

At the very start, use the proper fire interaction at the door on the right with a character who can start fires: Lady Liberty, Caveman, Prospector, Hank Haystacks, Demolition Guy, Wiley Fusebot, Kabob Bob, Tomahawk, or Johnny Thunder from the codes. Thrown dynamite does not count.

Your perfect Story dance should already have the Pants. If not, replay the dance; the Pants requirement is lower than the 21-Awesome achievement requirement. If Free Play will not let you dance, replay the level in Story.

• At the start, use the hacking terminal on the right to open the door containing a manual.
• In the first room, fly to the manual floating near the center.
• On the right ledge of that room, cut the shape from the gold panel and enter the alcove, then head left for a manual.
• After the first booby-trapped floor in the Kragelizer section, use the terminal to control the Micro Manager and collect the manual on the left. Do this before destroying the second cable mooring, because the gantry moves afterward.
• Before the second booby-trapped floor, fly up to the manual suspended in the air.

If END OF THE LINE! was missed in Story Mode, replay the Robo Skeleton control sequence and shoot Emmet before leaving it.

• In the first room, use the wrench switch on the right to retract the bleachers and enter the conference room. The first manual is on the table.
• In the same conference room, reproduce the displayed color-block pattern twice to open the alcove containing another manual.
• After climbing the net on the right side, hop onto the right ledge for a manual.
• Fly above the television set area for the Pants.
• In the Server Room, fly between the two rear ledges for another manual.
• In the Server Room, destroy all six groups of cylindrical tanks with MetalBeard for the final manual.

If SPACESHIP SPACESHIP! was missed in Story Mode, replay the Server Room and make sure Benny performs all three Master Builds before leaving.

• In the first clearing after Gail joins, use the back-left high-jump and bar route for a manual.
• In the second section, use the Lord Business pad on the right, climb the route, defeat the eight robots, and collect the Pants at the top of the ladder.
• On the first floor of the building, open the gold wall on the right for a manual.
• Push the elevator all the way to the right to open the route containing another manual.
• As you leave the elevator shaft, grapple upward to the ledge for a manual.
• After the first net later in the route, move left behind the green wall for the final manual.

• Extinguish all four fires through the opening street and first tentacle section for a manual.
• Before the first tentacle sequence is over, destroy both the HOTEL and FISH signs for a manual.
• Check the alley beside the HOTEL sign for another manual.
• In the metro section, open the gold doors and follow the stairs for a manual.
• At the later tentacle area, use the loose pieces at the back-right to build the Gandalf statue for the final manual.
• For the Pants, reach the roof above the plumbing van, use the Lord Business pad at the back-right, hit the switch on the left to shut off the electricity, then use the rainbow wall route.

• In the opening area, destroy all three clear glue blocks for a manual.
• On the back-right ledge, activate the marker that reveals the stud rings, then fly through the route to the manual.
• On the upper-left side, collect the manual floating above the ledge.
• On that same upper-left side, cut through the gold-panel billboard for the Pants.
• On the final rooftop, destroy both silver scaffolds, one on each side, for a manual.
• Destroy all three large fans on the right side of the rooftop for the final manual.

Finishing this sweep should complete the three whole-game collectible achievements below. One may unlock earlier if you collected more during Story Mode.

The Bonus Room can be visited earlier, but its full collectible content appears after Level 15. Reach it from the hub warp portal list. All 15 Golden Instruction Builds use the large Instruction Build pad in the centre of the room, and each build becomes available once that level's five Golden Manuals are collected. Build them with a character who can do Instruction Builds, such as Emmet. Optional shortcut: after entering code 6LK78NN9, equip the Construction Pants on Emmet at any Pants Changing Station; they are reported to complete Instruction Builds instantly.

These builds are required for Midas Touch but are not an extra requirement for the in-game 100% percentage.

Use a flying character. The million-stud challenge counts only unmultiplied studs collected inside the Bonus Room, so turn every stud multiplier off before you start it.

1. Collect the Gold Brick in the aquarium at the back-left of the room.
2. Climb the dresser and the plant to the upper-left shelf and push the small car off to the left. It knocks the books over and tips the trash can, which gives a Gold Brick.
3. Complete the hacking minigame near the central computer for a Gold Brick.
4. Fly to the top of the corkboard above the desk for a Gold Brick.
5. Collect the Gold Brick on top of the large red chest at the back-right.
6. Melt or laser the grate behind the starting area and collect the Gold Brick inside.
7. Follow the ramp made from LEGO books and enter the circular tube for a Gold Brick.
8. Pull down the box under the bed, then build the released pieces to reveal a Gold Brick.
9. Note your stud total when you enter. With multipliers off, smash and collect everything in the room until you have gained 1,000,000 raw studs; the Gold Brick appears on the desk. The safest method is to earn the full million in one visit. If you leave before the brick appears, note your balance again when you re-enter and earn another full 1,000,000 raw studs in that visit.
10. Get into the car you pushed off the shelf. Drive it to the starting marker on the floor, between the baseball bat and the central build pad. Follow the stud trail that appears through its five markers, collecting every stud, and the Gold Brick appears. If the trail does not show, drive around the floor or leave and re-enter the room.

Turn your multipliers back on after the million-stud challenge.

In any hub, hold Y and choose the bottom option of the character wheel, then buy every remaining base-game character. The base roster has 96 characters: 25 are free story unlocks and 71 cost 8,940,000 studs in total. The most expensive are Lord Business (Minifigure) and President Business at 1,000,000 each and Vitruvius (Ghost) at 750,000. The 96 are the standard requirement. Also add the five code-only characters from Phase 1 as a recommended precaution, for 101 on the grid. Wild West Pack characters are not required.

Business Business Business needs your displayed stud balance to reach 1,000,000,000 at one time. Anything you spend before then has to be earned again, so buy the roster and Red Bricks first, then stop spending until it unlocks. With all five multipliers active you may already be close after the Free Play sweep. If not, replay Level 15 - The Final Showdown with a flying character and use the prompt on the upper-right awning, which spawns blue stud rings. A community estimate puts each run at well over 100 million studs.

Verify the base-game completion screen:

• Story complete through all 15 levels.
• The Special earned in all 15 levels.
• 75 of 75 Golden Manuals collected.
• 15 of 15 Pants collected.
• 20 of 20 Red Bricks unlocked and purchased.
• 70 of 70 Gold Bricks collected.
• All 96 base characters unlocked and purchased. The five code-only characters (101 on the grid) are recommended as a precaution.

The 70 Gold Bricks are 15 story completions, 15 The Special results, 15 complete Golden Manual sets, 15 Pants, and 10 Bonus Room Gold Bricks. Golden Instruction Builds and the one-billion-stud balance have separate achievements but are not additional items in this percentage checklist.
