Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Guide › Walkthrough (Console) › Level 8: Big Trouble in Little Gotham

Objective 4: Defeat Brainiac!

It’s been fun chasing Brainiac all over Gotham City, but the time has come to end this android’s antics. Unfortunately, Brainiac has crashed right near his downed space ship, and has managed to seize control of his ship once more! It won’t be easy defeating the vile android now, but Earth’s fate hinges on your success.

Battle Brainiac’s minions as you dodge his ship’s massive tentacles. Take aim and try to stun the tentacles with a Batarang (or any other ranged attack). A good time to stun the tentacles is after they’ve burrowed underground and emerged.

When you see a tentacle lying on the ground, nearly motionless, you know that it’s stunned. Fire a missile from Batman’s Power Suit to blow off the tentacle’s silver claw and neutralize it, then do the same to the other tentacle. Remember: you must stun the tentacle first with a ranged attack before you can destroy its silver claw!

With both of the ship’s tentacles neutralized, Brainiac switches tactics and unleashes a giant laser beam. Use Batman’s Sensor Suit to detect a large pile of bricks in the center of the area, then tag to The Flash and swiftly build these into a shield deflect pad for Wonder Woman. Tag to Wonder Woman, stand on the pad, and then reflect Brainiac’s laser at the “mouth” of his ship.

Destroying the ship’s mouth sends bricks tumbling down. Tag to The Flash and quickly build these into a Flash-Build pad. Stand on the pad, hold the Attack button, and target the three glowing buildings in the background—including Wayne Tower!

Release the Attack button, and The Flash builds a massive cage out of the buildings’ bricks, trapping Brainiac and transforming his ship into a new monument for Gotham City. Well done!
