Points of Interest
1. Guard Wall
Surrounding the prison grounds are a series of guard towers. Don’t worry, these guards are too sleepy to be bothered.
Behind the road that leads up to the prison is this little alcove with LEGO walls you can jump off. Wall-bounce to get up to the slope.
Quickly run up the slopes and then hop onto the thin ledge.
Wall-hug around the ledge until you reach a handhold. Use it to hop over the fence.
A grapple point hangs off the vent shaft two stories up. Use your grapple gun to ascend to the roof.
Head to the right and you’ll find yourself underneath the numerous guard towers along the prison wall.
2. Upper Prison Yard
The really good prisoners can use a fenced yard at the top of the prison, which has a nice view of the city. Not surprisingly, Chase McCain is the only “good” prisoner on Albatross Island.
From the prison’s south side, go to the building with the greenish blue roof. Use the astronaut’s jetpack to get onto the roof.
Boost up to the next building and grab the handhold. Climb up.
Use the robber’s crowbar to break into the prison offices.
Along the way, you’ll come across a dynamite dispenser. Grab some if you like.
Keep heading right until you’re outside again. There are handholds along the building. Grab on and make your way up the building.
Hop the fence to reach the upper prison yard.
3. South Side of the Prison
Not surprisingly, LEGO City’s prison has its own gated community that not everyone can enter.
The prison’s southern side isn’t easily accessible. To reach it, you’ll need a transporter pad. From the pier, face the prison and head left along the beach until you find an astronaut crate. Break it open and build the transporter pad.
Use the pad to get into the locked-off section of Albatross Island.
4. Top of the Tower
At the back end of Albatross Island is an imposing lighthouse/guard tower. Thanks to this impressive tower, no one can escape the island. The best you can hope for is getting on top of the tower.
Go to the prison’s south side. Head toward the back and go upstairs to the large tower overlooking the water.
On the tower’s right side are some plants to water with the farmer. Use these to get up to the next level.
There are some handholds that spiral all the way up to the tower’s top. Take these and you’ll end up on top of the world...or at least on top of the tower.
