Introduction:
Experience a Toys-To-Life sensation just like Skylanders, Disney Infinity, and the successful Amiibo collection. Characters from all over the LEGO universe are joining forces to battle in worlds outside their own. Includes favorites like Scooby Doo, Portal, Ghostbusters, Batman, The LEGO Movie, The Simpsons and more! That's right, your favorite LEGO characters now come to life in LEGO Dimensions! Ascend into the portal, team up with accidental allies, journey to amazing worlds and strive to defeat the villainous Lord Vortech… all in an effort to save the LEGO humanity.
Helpful links for LEGO Instructions:
Once you start up your game, it will have instructions to go through on your TV instead of the paper instruction manual piece by piece. The Batmobile isn’t in the paper manual, but it is in the game to build when you start the story. Here are links for each Starter Pack build.
Note: These builds are completely optional as they aren't necessary for playing the game.
- Gateway Toy Pad (takes about 30-60 minutes to build)
- Batmobile
- Batman
- Wyldstyle
- Gandalf
Cheat Codes:
There are only two cheat codes for this LEGO game. To enter them, press then select the “Extras” option and choose the “Enter Code” selection. Enter one of the following codes to activate the cheat. Cheats don’t disable achievements.
- Rare Artifact Detector R.A.D. (Minikit Detector) - "JYJAFX"
- The Way Of The Brick (Fast Build) - "5MZ73E"
Infinite Studs:
Refer to THIS POST for a method to accumulate millions of studs in short period of time.
Elemental Keystones:
Throughout the game, you will be required to use these to complete puzzles and access areas that you would normally not be able to.
Note: This step is completely optional.
Load up your game; the instructions are in-game to help. Start by building your Gateway Portal which should take around an hour. Once that is done, build your characters from the Starter Pack: Batman, Wyldstyle and Gandalf. The Batmobile will be the last thing you build. The instructions for everything are in the links above or when you start up Story Mode.
Step 2: Story Mode for Minikits to get x2 Stud Multiplier for 1,000,000 studs:
Begin with Story Mode. There are 14 story levels to complete and should take roughly 20-30 minutes each. While going through Story Mode, be on the lookout for minikits; you can actually grab them with just the Starter Pack characters. Note that you don’t need all of them for the achievement; just 30 of them. Refer to “Rare Artefacts, collected!” for more information. While in the first level, get the “Forever Alone” achievement out of the way as it might be challenging unlocking it in a later level.
Refer to THIS THREAD for a minkit guide with the Starter Pack only.
Step 3: Obtain the x2 Red Multiplier Brick and Continue Story:
Once you hit 1,000,000 studs, you will be able to purchase the x2 Red Multiplier Red Brick. At the start area in front of the portal, take the elevator at the bottom left and up the ramp to the Hub level of the Lord of the Rings (this will unlock “Home, Sweet Home”). If you haven’t done so yet, you can go and travel to Batman’s Hub world and The LEGO Movie Hub world to unlock “Dimensions Explorer”. Upon arriving in the Lord of the Rings Hub world, head toward the left you will notice a red brick icon on the mini map. A robot will be carrying the red brick. Chase the robot down with the Batmobile. Once you catch him, you can buy the red brick from the main portal where you play levels from. Don’t forget to turn it on from the Pause menu and continue playing through to Level 11.
Step 4: Unlock Model 2 Upgrade for the Batmobile before Level 12, ‘Prime Time’:
BEFORE Level 12, ‘Prime Time’, you want to upgrade the Batmobile to Model 2. Hopefully you have 370,000 studs for all the three levels of upgrades on the Batmobile. If not, just replay a level or farm for some studs. To upgrade to Model 2, each pack will cost 15,000 studs each (there are 10 packs total) plus an additional 10,000 studs to “unlock” the Model 2 for you to use. Model 3 upgrades will cost 20,000 studs each (again, 10 packs total) plus another 10,000 studs to unlock Model 3 for you to use. Once done upgrading, you should save each upgrade as a toy tag by pressing

The reason for upgrading before Level 12 is that there is a minikit at the end of the level that is only obtainable with the Batmobile Model 2. Once you have upgraded and saved the Batmobile to Level 2, you can continue on the story and getting the rest of the minikits.
Step 5: Hubs:
Now enter the hub worlds; The Lego Movie, Lord of the Rings and DC Comics. In these hub worlds, you will be working on 15 renovations, 5 races and any quest. The only grind will be from getting more studs to complete each hub world renovation. Please refer to “Official Master Builder” for more information.
Step 6: Mop Up & 100%:
Only a few achievements will be left for you to go back on and complete: upgrading and painting the Batmobile, collecting the rest of the minikits, farming the keystone achievements and going back to complete the ‘Aperture Science Enrichment Center’ level within 25 minutes.
