Challenge 1: Finish Line
To complete this challenge, simply finish the level.
When the level starts, circle the room to collect studs and clear out the Hydra Goons located around the map. Defeat these weaker enemies until the Red Skull hops down from his platform and joins the battle.
When the Red Skull enters the battle, he siphons the energy from the portal to create an impenetrable shield. Before you can damage him, you must deactivate the portal. Circle the room to stay away from the Red Skull—try to use the portal device as cover from his attacks. As you do, use Captain America’s ranged attack to hit each of the targets rotating around the portal.
Hit all eight targets to deactivate the portal. The Red Skull is no longer protected by his shield, but he can still block many of your attacks. To deal reliable damage, you must attack only when he’s vulnerable. Keep your distance to bait him into drawing his energy rifle—the moment you see the Red Skull draw his weapon, hit him with a few ranged attacks until he starts defending himself.
In addition to his energy rifle, the Red Skull is equipped with explosive grenades. If you allow him to get close to you, he’ll typically use these grenades to perform a powerful short-range attack. Dash away to get clear of the explosions, then keep your distance until he switches back to his energy rifle. Each time the Red Skull draws his rifle, hit him with a few more ranged attacks. Repeat the process until the Red Skull retreats.
When you deplete all of the Red Skull’s health, he flees the area and a new enemy enters the room. This Hydra goon is equipped with a flamethrower, so it’s best to deal with him before he has a chance to attack. Hit him with a series of ranged attacks, or dash in close and overwhelm him with an extended melee combo. When you defeat this enemy, the Red Skull returns, calls two more flame-throwing goons to his side, and reactivates the portal.
Once again, the Red Skull uses the portal’s energy to create an impenetrable shield. Circle the portal and hit each of the eight targets with a ranged attack. As you do, try to isolate and defeat the Hydra goons. Use the portal as cover from incoming ranged attacks while you defeat the weaker enemies.
Once you’ve deactivated the portal and defeated the flame-throwing Hydra goons, use the established tactics to damage the Red Skull. Keep your distance to lure him into drawing his energy rifle, then hit him with a few ranged attacks. Stay clear of any grenades, and continue to damage the Red Skull until you defeat him.
Challenge 2: Stud Collector
To complete this challenge, you must collect over 10,000 studs before the level ends.
This map contains more than enough enemies, breakable objects, and loose studs to complete this challenge. Make a full sweep of the area before you draw the Red Skull into the fight.
Challenge 3: Minikit
To complete this challenge, you must collect the minikit hidden in the level.
After you unlock Free Play for this level, select any flying character and revisit the map. When the level starts, activate flight mode to find the minikit floating high above the room’s entrance.
Smash the large pipe on the ledge, then step onto the rising steam to float up and collect the minikit.
Challenge 4: Absolute Power
To complete this challenge, you must defeat the Red Skull within the 180-second time limit.
As long as you stay focused on your task, you shouldn’t have much trouble staying ahead of the clock. Move quickly to clear out weaker enemies and deactivate the portal. You want to lure the Red Skull into equipping his energy rifle as often as possible. Keep your distance, and avoid attacking him while he’s blocking.
Challenge 5: Red Brick
To complete this challenge, you must collect this level’s Red Brick.
After you unlock Free Play for this level, select any flying character and revisit the map. The Red Brick appears only during the battle’s final phase. After the Red Skull jumps down from his ledge, fly up to the ledge to find the Red Brick.
Challenge 6: Going Pro
To complete this challenge, you must finish the level without using a Super Move.
Captain America’s standard attacks are more than enough to overcome the enemies you’ll face. Simply refrain from using Super Moves for the duration of the battle.
Challenge 7: Tag Me In
To complete this challenge, you must use one or more Tag Moves to defeat at least two enemies.
Try to complete this challenge before the Red Skull enters the battle. Lure a few Hydra goons into a small area, then hit them with a Tag Move. If you don’t complete the challenge on your first attempt, dodge incoming attacks until your Tag Move recharges.
Challenge 8: Combo Master
To complete this challenge, you must perform a ×10 combo.
During Story mode, it’s best to complete this challenge when the first flame-throwing Hydra goon enters the room. Dash over and hit him with a flurry of melee strikes. If all of your hits land, you should complete your combo just as you defeat this enemy.
Challenge 9: Great Power
To complete this challenge, you must use one or more Super Moves to defeat at least five enemies.
It’s best to complete this challenge before the Red Skull enters the battle. When the level starts, ignore the Hydra goons and search the area for studs and breakable objects. Once you’ve charged at least one Super Move, gather a few enemies and use a Super Move to defeat the entire group. Repeat the process until you complete the challenge.
Challenge 10: Multi-Challenge
To complete this challenge, you must take less than two hearts of damage, avoid calling on your Tag partner, and finish the level within the 180-second time limit.
Avoiding damage is likely to be the most difficult part of completing this challenge—particularly during the battle’s final phase. Focus on the Red Skull, but make sure that you keep track of any remaining goons. Attack at every opportunity, but be prepared to abandon a combo to dash away from approaching threats. Stay healthy, refrain from calling on your Tag partner, and move quickly to finish the level within the allotted time.
