Pick a planet

After clearing the Gotham stage, you can access a selection of stages and clear them in any order you want. Simply scroll through the world map and find the stage you want to tackle next to begin the level.

Part 1: The Forest of Weeds

• 5 Minikits, 2 Character Tokens

At the start, your way forward is blocked by some spiky vines. Use a grapple to pull them off and move north to begin a battle with several Orange Lantern Constructs. Even though these goons are ring constructs instead of living warriors, they are still easily defeated with punches. At the northern edge of the platform, use your grapple to pull down the pillar on the opposite side, forming a bridge for everyone to cross. Climb up the stairs and follow the path until you reach the entrance to the temple where the Orange Power Battery is located. The Orange Lanterns will activate a generator, creating a huge force field covering the temple.

Clear the plants to the left of the temple entrance to find a swamp patch. Dig into it as Solomon Grundy to uncover a water cannon, then use it to wash away the debris in front of the force field to reveal a cracked wall. Punch through it with Solomon Grundy to send a piece of debris into the generator, disabling the force field. Get in and defeat the Orange Lanterns inside. Destroy the plants covering the back wall and use a grapple to pull the wall out, creating steps to the upper floor of the temple entrance hall.

The gate leading into the temple is sealed with an elaborate flower lock. Use your grapple to pull down the yellow flower, releasing the first lock. Go left and use ranged attacks to blast down some blocks on the trees, then assemble the blocks into a Lantern pad. Use the pad as Green Lantern to create a chainsaw construct, chopping down the nearby tree, then use a grapple to pull down the blue flower behind it. Next, go down to the waterfall to the right and hit the glowing flower to create a platform across the water. Cross it to find another swamp patch, then have Solomon Grundy dive in to unearth a rocket launcher. Step on the button to fire rockets at a rock wall, revealing an alcove where the waterfall flows from. Pull down the orange flower to remove the vines. Go back to the gate and use the pieces that appear to assemble a crank, then turn it to open the gate.

Part 2: Gold for a statue

• 3 Minikits, 1 Character Token, Red Brick, Adam West

Another puzzle awaits you in this chamber. You must find a way to "bribe" the massive statue in this room to proceed. From the center platform, get up the left path and smash the plants to get some pieces which you can assemble into a Lantern pad. Use Green Lantern to make a fan construct, which will be placed over the gap, helping the team get on to the ledge above. Get on the ledge as Grundy and pull down the wall with handles to let some sunlight in. Now use the pieces on the ledge to create a shield pad. A series of colored patterns will be displayed, and you have to reflect the sunlight onto the same patterns on the wall with Green Lantern or Wonder Woman. Once you finish, one of the statue's hands will open.

Now, fly over to the right side of the room as Green Lantern and smash the shining grey rocks on the ground. Use the pieces to make a Lantern pad, then have Green Lantern form a bridge construct to let everyone across. Have Solomon Grundy punch down the cracked wall, then assemble a sphere conveyor from the blocks inside. Form a spherical shield around Green Lantern and use it to operate the lift beside the small room, raising the others to the upper right ledge. Once again, use Solomon Grundy to lift and dislodge the debris, then assemble a shield pad from some pieces under the rocks. Use Wonder Woman or Green Lantern to reflect light on to the panels on the wall based on the patterns displayed to open up the statue's other arm.

With both arms open and ready, fly up to the statue's mouth. Use a grapple to pull at the blockage inside, causing innumerable gold coins to pour out and weigh down both arms. This will make a crank rise up from below the ground. Turn the crank to open the gate to the hall where the Orange Power Battery awaits.

Part 3: Mega Larfleeze

• 2 Minikits

Despite the heroes' plans, Larfleeze wants only Green Lantern and nothing in return. Once he discovers they have nothing to give, he attacks them in anger and jealousy!

Larfleeze will first send several Orange Lantern Constructs to fight you. After you defeat them all, Larfleeze will fight you himself. Simply trade punches with the Orange ring bearer until you take off three hearts from him to make him flee. Larfleeze will now become a massive construct of himself with two deadly attacks. He can swing a large sabre across the stage, which must be dodged by jumping over, or slamming a hammer into the ground. He may also summon more constructs to fight you, or cause meteors to fall from above. The first time he does the hammer slam, he will reveal a swamp patch in the ground. Dive into it to unearth a jewel box. Pull it open with a grapple to expose the bomb ring underneath. Larfleeze's greed compels him to take the ring, blowing up his construct.

Now that the Larfleeze giant has been scattered, Larfleeze will battle you as himself again. Once more, you must keep punching him until you manage to take away three more hearts. Larfleeze will turn giant and use his sword swing and hammer smash again. Wait until he slams the hammer, causing some blocks to fall from the ceiling. One of these blocks falls at the left side of the arena. Use the debris to build a Lantern pad, then make Green Lantern create a trick gift construct. Larfleeze will give in to his greed and attempt to grab the gift, getting punched as a result. Now that Larfleeze is back in his regular form, three more hits will end the battle!

Our heroes knock down Larfleeze long enough for Green Lantern to create a decoy of himself while he goes to steal an orange battery. They escape without a hitch, leaving Larfleeze a few batteries shorter.

Collectables

Minikits

1. At the start, go south to find a Lantern pad. Have Green Lantern create a crane construct to fish out a Minikit from the water below. Fly out to grab the Minikit.
2. (Free Play only) After passing the vine wall, look for a golden plant in the distance. Use a heat beam to destroy the plant. Later on, charge up your Illumination Suit once you destroyed the force field generator using the power station in the temple. Use the Illumination Suit to light up the cave and find the Minikit.
3. From the makeshift bridge, go south to find a dirt pile on a small island. Dig in it to make a flower grow, attracting a large bee over. Kill the bee to make the Minikit appear in its place.
4. (Free Play only) After entering the temple, break the plants between the light station and the stairs to reveal a small capsule. Break the glass on the capsule with a sonic attack to get the Minikit inside.
5. (Free Play only) Outside the temple, look for a lower entrance marked by a shield shape on a golden wall. Cut a hole in the wall with a laser, then go inside and use Brainiac's shrink ray to remove the black metallic blockade. Have a Lantern use the power ring pad beyond the blockade to form a power drill construct that bores a hole in the cliff wall outside, revealing a Minikit. Exit through the gold wall and fly around the perimeter of the temple to reach your prize.
6. (Free Play only) At the lower-left area of the second chamber, use super strength to punch through the cracked wall, then use a laser to melt down the golden totem behind the wall bit by bit. The Minikit will appear where the totem was.
7. (Free Play only) Go to the golden wall at the left half of the second chamber. Use a laser to carve a banana out of the wall, then use the pieces to create an actual banana. This will entice the monkey statue beside the wall to crave it, but it crumbles upon dropping from its pedestal, letting you get the Minikit within its body.
8. (Free Play only) At the right half of the second chamber, trace the Yellow Lantern-like symbol on the golden hatch in the wall with a laser to pierce a hole. The Minikit is inside the hole.
9. (Free Play only) During the fight with Larfleeze, go left to a pile of plants on the ground. Use explosives to destroy the plants and the metal covers underneath, then use heat to make the golden base disintegrate, leaving you with the Minikit.
10. (Free Play only) While battling Larfleeze, head right and use a grapple to pull off some vines covering a short pillar. Use the assorted pieces dropped from the vine to build a crank on top of the pillar. Jump on to the pillar and turn the crank to make it rise out of the ground, until a shiny metal section of the pillar appears. Destroy that section with explosives to cause the pillar to topple over, then smash the separate pieces to find the Minikit.

Character Tokens

• Kilowog: After crossing the pillar bridge, aim at the nest hanging off of the wall to make a bird pop out. Shoot the bird to make it leave a character token behind.
• Orange Lantern Construct: (Free Play only) Bat-Mite can be found inside the temple beside the illumination station. After talking to him, go south and use super senses to reveal a waste processor, then blast off the golden flower wrapping it to use the machine. You must get 30 LEGO pieces from the surrounding area, which are easily found by destroying the plants and debris. Once you fill the processor, it will produce a biplane that flies into the distance, leaving a trail in the shape of a bat. Bat-Mite will grant you the character token upon doing so.
• Larfleeze: (Free Play only) Upon entering the second chamber of the temple, go toward the screen to descend to a lower platform. Use super senses to uncover a pillar, then pull it down with a grapple to make it break into pieces, one of which covering a button on the floor. Use the debris from the other parts to build an elephant statue weighing down a second button. Use jump attacks on the remaining two buttons to cause a column to pop out of the ground. Destroy all the compartments to find the token.

Red Brick

(Free Play only) On the upper right ledge where you can see multiple symbols of the Lantern Corps on the wall, use explosives to break a metal cage covering the wall to make a red striped pad fall to the ground. Have Plastic Man use the pad to transform him into a pencil, vandalizing the Larfleeze statue. The Red Brick will appear in front of the statue's nose. This Red Brick grants you the Character Token Detector, which points you to the location of hidden Character Tokens both during levels and out in the hub worlds. It's generally more useful in the open hubs, but there's always a walkthrough here if you get stuck.

Adam West in Peril

Adam West is trapped in an odd prison: a statue with teeth as the bars. From the golden panel where you got Minikit No. 8, fly up to a wall-sculpted statue where a power ring pad is slightly obscured. Have a Lantern use the pad to create a pliers construct that removes the teeth of the statue, freeing Adam West.
