Challenge 1: Finish Line

To complete this challenge, simply finish the level.

When the level starts, clear out the Brotherhood mutants to the right.

In addition to the smaller enemies, there’s a Brotherhood heavy mutant buried beneath the sand. This enemy appears when you smash the overturned sand pail, so make sure that you’re ready to face him before you destroy this object. When it’s safe, search the beach for studs and breakable objects.

Smash the objects blocking the main path, then move toward the next area until you see Magneto send a pulse through some wreckage of a crashed plane. When Magneto flies away, run back to the sand to avoid the piece of wreckage that comes rolling down the hill. When the wreckage crashes into the rocks, it becomes a Build-it. Use the Build-it to assemble a jet engine.

When you finish building the jet engine, it slides back up the hill and clears the main path. Defeat the enemies that appear along the path until you reach a Brotherhood heavy mutant near the wrecked plane’s flaming wing. Keep your distance from the LEGO fires as you clear out the nearby enemies.

When it’s safe, use Captain America’s ranged attack to destroy both of the engines mounted under the wing. When the wing collapses, it extinguishes the LEGO fires.

Cross over the wing and follow the path until you reach a watchtower. Destroy the watchtower to drop a makeshift bridge onto the nearby ledge, then follow the path to the next area.

Defeat the Brotherhood mutants lurking in the next area and follow the main path until you find Magneto standing on a wrecked ship. Magneto lifts a crane into the air and more Brotherhood mutants drop into the area. As you deal with these enemies, the crane hovers around the area. Watch the crane’s shadow to help determine its exact location. As the crane moves toward you, dash away to avoid being crushed.

Continue to defeat the Brotherhood mutants until Magneto drops the crane and leaves the area. Use the Build-it left by the crane to assemble a ramp.

When you’re ready, head up the ramp and defeat the Brotherhood heavy mutant waiting on the wrecked ship.

Search the area for any remaining studs and objects. When you’re ready, go up the ship’s toppled smokestack and follow the trail of studs to finish the level.

Challenge 2: Stud Collector

To complete this challenge, you must collect over 10,000 studs before the level ends.

This level is packed with enemies, breakable objects, and loose studs. If you make a full search of each area, you’ll collect more than enough studs to complete this challenge.

Challenge 3: Minikit

To complete this challenge, you must collect the minikit hidden in the level.

After you unlock Free Play for this level, revisit the map as Iron Man. After you defeat the Brotherhood mutants near the wrecked ship, use Iron Man’s ranged attack to blast through the ship’s silver LEGO panel.

Head into the ship, then destroy the nearby objects to clear a path to the minikit.

Challenge 4: Island Life

To complete this challenge, you must finish the level within the 130-second time limit.

Try to avoid unnecessary combat as you race through the level. If you can destroy an obstacle or assemble a Build-it without interruption, it’s usually best to ignore the enemies in the first half of the level.

You must defeat the enemies near the wrecked ship before you can reach the end of the map. Captain America’s standard attacks should be enough to clear the area quickly, but don’t hesitate to utilize a Super Move or a Tag Move if you spot any closely grouped enemies. When the area is clear, assemble the ramp, dash past the Brotherhood heavy mutant, and finish the level within the allotted time.

Challenge 5: Civilian Peril

To complete this challenge, you must rescue the three civilians scattered across the map.

After you unlock Free Play for this level, revisit the map as Dark Phoenix. The first civilian is located near the helipad out in the ocean. Activate Dark Phoenix’s flight mode, then fly over the water to find the helipad near the edge of the map. When you locate the civilian, land on the nearby ledge and use telekinesis to rescue her.

The second civilian is floating near the base of the waterfall. As you follow the main path toward the wrecked plane’s burning wing. Look for the crumbling remains of a watchtower just off the main path.

Clear the debris from the ledge, then approach the civilian and use telekinesis to lift her out of the water.

The third civilian is near the end of the level. Move to the end of the narrow ledge that runs below the wrecked ship, then use telekinesis to rescue the civilian below you.

Challenge 6: Clean Sweep

To complete this challenge, you must defeat 27 Brotherhood mutants before you finish the level.

Most of the Brotherhood mutants will attack you as you follow the main path. There are few that are easy to miss, however, so be sure to make a full sweep of each area as you move through the map. Before you leave the beach at the start of the level, search the coastline and defeat the enemies that leap out of the water.

Clear out the enemies that appear along the main path, and make sure you don’t slip past any of the major obstacles until you defeat all of the nearby Brotherhood mutants. Before you finish the level, check the narrow ledge that runs below the wrecked ship to find two hidden enemies. Once you’ve completed the challenge, follow the path to the end of the map.

Challenge 7: Combo Master

To complete this challenge, you must perform a × 10 combo.

You can complete this challenge anytime you find at least two Brotherhood mutants in a single area. Use melee combo to defeat one enemy, then dash to a nearby Brotherhood mutant and chain your attacks to finish your ×10 combo.

Challenge 8: It’s a Buoy!

To complete this challenge, you must destroy all five of the buoy turrets scattered across the map.

After you unlock Free Play for this level, use any flying character to destroy the five buoy turrets floating in the ocean. Three of the buoys are fairly close to the island, and if you follow the edge of the island, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding them near the rocks. Use ranged attacks to destroy each buoy turret before it has a chance to fire.

The two remaining buoy turrets can be a little tougher to spot. If you can’t find them, fly out to the civilian near the helipad, then circle the area to the left. Destroy all five of the buoy turrets to complete the challenge.

Challenge 9: Fourth Wall

To complete this challenge, you must find Deadpool before you finish the level.

After you unlock Free Play for this level, revisit the map with any flying character. Fly out to the helipad near the corner of the map, then destroy the large container to find Deadpool.

Challenge 10: Multi-Challenge

To complete this challenge, you must take less than five hearts of damage, use Captain America’s ranged attack to defeat five enemies, and finish the level within the 130-second time limit.

To stay ahead of the clock, try to ignore the enemies you encounter in the first half of the map. If needed, use a Tag Move to help gain a little breathing room while you’re assembling a Build-it or destroying an obstacle.

When you reach the wrecked ship, use Captain America’s ranged attack (shield throw) to defeat the Brotherhood mutants that appear in the area. Avoid Magneto’s hovering crane, and try not to use any melee attacks, Super Moves, or Tag Moves until you’ve used Captain America’s ranged attack to defeat at least five enemies. Stay healthy and finish the level within the allotted time to complete the challenge.
