Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
Hints and Tips:
---------------
Submitted by: David K.
-= Finish the Story Before Trying to 100 Percent Every Level =-
Story mode deliberately places Free Play-only abilities in front of you. If a
Minikit, Character Token, Adam West rescue or Red Brick is behind glass, gold LEGO,
toxic goo, a magnetic object or another ability gate, leave it. Finish the story,
build a broad character roster and return in Free Play instead of forcing an
impossible story-mode route.
-= Learn the Material Language Before You Blame the Puzzle =-
LEGO Batman 3 reuses a consistent ability vocabulary. Silver LEGO usually wants an
explosive attack. Gold LEGO wants heat or a laser. Glass wants sonar. Blue magnetic
objects want a Magnet Suit or magnetic character. Green scan walls want a Sensor
ability. Toxic goo and loose colored hazard pieces want a Hazard Suit. When a puzzle
looks inert, identify the material before searching the room for a hidden switch.
-= Use the Gadget Wheel Instead of Hunting for Another Character =-
Batman, Robin, Cyborg, Lex Luthor and the Joker can carry full eight-slot Gadget
Wheels during the story. Hold the character-switch input and choose the suit or
gadget that matches the obstacle. Many apparent character gates are really suit
gates, so check the current hero's wheel before abandoning the puzzle.
-= Buy and Activate Stud Multipliers as Early as Possible =-
Red Brick multipliers stack. The earned x2, x4, x6, x8 and x10 bricks combine to
x3840 when all are active, making the late character and vehicle purchases trivial.
The cheat code for Studs x2 can jump-start the economy immediately. Found Red Bricks
still need to be purchased and enabled under Pause > Extras before their effects
apply.
-= True Hero Is Easier After Multipliers =-
Collect enough studs in a level to fill the True Hero meter and earn its Gold Brick.
Do not spend hours smashing every object during the first story run if the meter is
still slow. Return later with stud multipliers active and True Hero becomes a minor
cleanup task instead of a grind.
-= Detectors Turn Collectible Cleanup Into Route Planning =-
Minikit Detector, Quest Detector, Gold Brick Detector, Adam West in Peril Detector
and Character Token Detector reduce blind searching. Buy and activate the relevant
Red Bricks before a serious Free Play cleanup. A detector does not remove an ability
gate, but it tells you which branch of a large level is worth opening.
-= Switch to Free Play When the Missing Ability Is Obvious =-
After a story level is complete, open it from the map and choose Free Play. The
character grid lets you bring unlocked abilities back into the level. If the current
room needs a specific power, hold the character-switch input and choose the correct
character instead of restarting the whole level.
-= Never Use Return to Hub as a Casual Pause Button =-
The pause-menu Return option can abandon current level progress. Use it only when you
intend to leave the stage. If you are deep into a collectible run, finish the active
section or reach a natural completion point before returning to the Batcave,
Watchtower or another hub.
-= Use Oa as a Post-Story Stud Farm =-
Oa is a strong open-area stud route after the campaign. Fly through the hub, smash
dense object groups and collect the large stud trail repeatedly. Once the stacked
stud multipliers are active, normal cleanup and purchases quickly stop being an
economy problem.
-= Split-Screen Is Local Co-Op; Remote Play Together Extends It Online =-
The native game supports two-player shared/split-screen play. Press F2 on keyboard or
a button on the second gamepad to join Player 2. Steam Remote Play Together can
stream that local co-op session to another player, but there is no separate native
online campaign with independent saves.
-= Save a Manual Copy Before Modding or Repairing a Black Screen =-
The Steam save lives under App ID 313690. Close the game and Steam, then copy the
whole remote savedgames folder before testing mods, deleting GUI cache data or
repairing a damaged profile. Steam Cloud is useful, but it can synchronize a bad
state just as easily as a good one.
Current Windows-PC State:
-------------------------
-= LEGO Batman 3 Is Still Sold on Steam =-
The Windows version remains available on Steam together with its DLC catalog. The
base game launched on November 11, 2014. Current Steam features include
single-player, multiplayer through local shared/split-screen, Steam Cloud, Remote
Play Together and Family Sharing.
-= Public Steam Build 18924960 Is the Current Windows Branch =-
SteamDB lists public Build 18924960, built June 19, 2025 and published to the branch
in June 2025. Treat that as the current public Windows depot boundary. The update
does not have public gameplay patch notes, so do not infer new mechanics from the
recent build number alone.
-= The Current Windows Executable Is LEGOBatman3.exe =-
The public Steam configuration launches:
LEGOBatman3.exe
It is a 32-bit Windows executable. If a manual shortcut or copied installation points
somewhere else, verify the Steam installation before renaming executables or LEGO
data folders.
-= Modern Steam Requires Windows 10 or Later =-
The original game requirements support older Windows versions and list 2 GB RAM and
10 GB of storage as the historical minimum. The current Steam client requires Windows
10 or later. Diagnose a current Steam install on Windows 10 or Windows 11 instead of
applying obsolete XP-era Steam workarounds.
-= Steam Cloud Is Active for App ID 313690 =-
Steam Cloud is enabled for the title. On Steam, the save data is stored below the
313690 userdata tree. Keep a manual offline copy before any destructive recovery
operation because cloud synchronization is not a substitute for a known-good backup.
Controls, Character Switching and Co-Op:
----------------------------------------
-= Default Player 1 Keyboard Controls =-
The default keyboard layout uses a small LEGO-style action set:
* W/A/S/D: move.
* U: tag or switch to the nearest playable character.
* K: Special.
* J: Jump.
* H: Action / interact / target.
* Y: Toggle Suit.
* Space and Left Ctrl: cycle character selection.
* M: Map.
* Enter: Pause.
Controls can be remapped from Options > Control Configuration or the in-game Control
Setup menu. Follow the active HUD prompt when a custom binding differs from the
defaults above.
-= Hold the Switch Input for the Character Grid or Gadget Wheel =-
Tap U to switch to the nearest playable character. In Free Play, holding the switch
input opens the broader character selection. During story sections where a hero has a
Gadget Wheel, the same held input exposes the available suits and tools instead of
forcing a full character change.
-= Flying Uses Jump Twice =-
With a flying character, press J once to jump and J again to hover on the default
keyboard layout. Use W/A/S/D to steer, J to climb and K to descend. Flying is the
fastest way to cross large Lantern-world hubs and to approach collectibles from
above. Custom bindings can replace these defaults.
-= Aiming Is a Hold-and-Release Action =-
Hold the Action input to bring up the targeting reticle, move the reticle to the
target and release to fire or throw. Use this for Batarangs, ranged switches and
multi-target puzzle elements. If a target will not lock, check whether the current
character actually has the required ranged ability.
-= Player 2 Can Join Without Restarting the Level =-
Press F2 on keyboard or any button on the second configured controller to activate
Player 2. The game divides the screen dynamically when the characters move apart.
Both players share the current level progress, so coordinate suit switches and
collectible detours instead of treating the second player as a separate save.
Suits, Materials and Ability Gates:
-----------------------------------
-= Silver LEGO Wants Explosives =-
Silver objects are the standard demolition material. Use Batman's Power Suit or
another character with explosives. If ordinary punches, Batarangs or lasers do
nothing to a metallic-looking object, check whether it is silver before searching for
a switch.
-= Gold LEGO Wants Heat or Laser Vision =-
Gold objects melt under a sustained heat beam. Superman, heat-vision characters and
laser-capable Space or Dive suits can solve these gates. Hold the beam on the entire
gold outline until the object changes state; a quick tap may not finish the cut.
-= Glass Wants Sonar =-
Glass LEGO is destroyed by sonar. Batman and Cyborg have suit options that provide a
sonic attack. Do not waste explosives on a transparent blue/glass structure when a
sonar-capable suit is already in the Gadget Wheel.
-= Blue Magnetic Objects Want Magnet Power =-
Blue metal and magnetic surfaces react to Magnet abilities. Robin, Cyborg and Joker
can provide magnetic suit functions. Activate the suit and manipulate the highlighted
object instead of trying to pull it with a normal grapple.
-= Green Walls Want Sensor or X-Ray Vision =-
Batman's Sensor Suit can expose hidden structure, use enhanced senses and scan
certain green wall panels. Follow the scan path until the puzzle reveals the
interactable object behind the wall. A green translucent panel is an ability clue,
not decorative glass.
-= Toxic Goo and Colored Loose Pieces Want Hazard Protection =-
Robin and Lex can use Hazard suits that survive toxic pools and vacuum loose colored
LEGO pieces. Collect the required pieces, then deposit them into the matching machine
or receptacle. Merely walking through the goo does not complete the puzzle; the
collected material is often a required resource.
-= Tech Panels and R-Chutes Want Techno Suit Functions =-
Robin and Lex can access technology panels and send a small remote toy through
R-marked chutes or ports. If the full-size character cannot physically enter a narrow
opening, look for the Techno Suit interaction instead of trying to shrink or fly into
it.
-= Dark Areas Want a Charged Illumination Suit =-
Robin and Joker have illumination options. Charge the suit at a light source, then
carry the charge into a dark area. Entering darkness with an uncharged suit does not
solve the visibility gate.
-= Electricity Can Be Stored and Reused =-
Batman, Cyborg and Joker can use electrical suits to drain power from one device and
feed it into another. If a generator interaction empties rather than activates the
machine, carry the stored charge to the next electrical socket instead of repeatedly
draining the same source.
-= Super Strength Is a Capability Gate =-
Large orange handles and heavy LEGO structures need a big-figure or super-strength
character. Cyborg's Giant Suit, Lex's Giant Suit and naturally strong characters can
move objects that normal heroes cannot. Correct button timing cannot substitute for
the missing strength capability.
Story Progression and Hubs:
---------------------------
-= The Main Story Has 15 Levels Plus a Bonus Level =-
The story progression is:
* 1 - Pursuers in the Sewers
* 2 - Breaking BATS!
* 3 - Space Suits You, Sir!
* 4 - Space Station Infestation
* 5 - The Big Grapple
* 6 - The Lantern Menace
* 7 - Europe Against It
* 8 - Big Trouble in Little Gotham
* 9 - Power of Love
* 10 - A Blue Hope
* 11 - Jailhouse Nok
* 12 - All the Rage
* 13 - Need for Greed
* 14 - Aw-Qward Situation
* 15 - Breaking the Ice
The bonus level is "Same Bat-time! Same Bat-channel!" and becomes available after the
main story. Use the Batcave Trophy Room route after completion to reach the 1966
Batman-themed bonus content.
-= Hubs Become the Main Cleanup Space =-
The Batcave, Watchtower, Hall of Justice and Hall of Doom contain side missions, Gold
Bricks, characters and access points. Lantern-world exploration later expands that
loop to Oa, Zamaron, Odym, Nok, Ysmault, Okaara and Qward, with the Moon as another
explorable space.
-= Lantern Worlds Reward Flight and Marker Reading =-
The Lantern planets are open hubs rather than linear story levels. Use a flying
character whenever possible. Columns of light and world markers help expose quests
and secrets; races and side tasks commonly reward Gold Bricks or vehicles. Check the
world-progress display before searching an entire planet for the last missing task.
-= Story Completion Unlocks the Real Free Play Cleanup =-
Once the campaign is done, your larger character roster and suit access make
collectible cleanup much faster. Replay story stages in Free Play, then move through
hubs and planets with detectors active. Do not alternate story progress and deep
collectible cleanup unless a specific unlock is immediately useful.
Red Bricks, Studs and Cheatbook GOLD:
------------------------------------
-= Enter Codes From Pause > Extras =-
Pause the game, open Extras and choose Enter Code. Type the six-character code and
confirm it. Character codes unlock the character for Free Play. Effect codes appear
under Extras and must be switched on when you want the effect active.
-= Verified Cheat Codes =-
* V3GTHB - Aquaman
* ZGCEAJ - Atrocitus
* XZKLKQ - Bane
* EWTPKA - Bat-Fight Captions
* 4LS32K - Batgirl
* ZWQPJD - Batman (Zur-En-Arrh)
* YC3KZZ - Beast Boy
* APEKBV - Blue Beetle
* 5SW59X - Deathstroke
* 4HRERD - Doctor Fate
* PHHGPH - Festive Hats
* NQ46RC - The Fierce Flame
* FQ4ESE - Frankenstein
* 95U7BM - Giganta
* 9WYGLP - The Joker
* J6ANCT - Kevin Smith
* B5ABPQ - Lobo
* JYJAFX - Minikit Detector
* S7GSDE - Music Meister
* N9CZ7S - Nightwing
* H2VB8Z - Plastic Man
* KNJBD8 - Quest Detector
* TRQTPS - Red Hood
* 5MZ73E - Studs x2
* QDQ3YL - Superboy
The Plastic Man code is H2VB8Z.
-= The Five Stud Multipliers Stack to x3840 =-
The five score multipliers are:
* Studs x2 - Pursuers in the Sewers - 1,000,000 studs
* Studs x4 - Breaking BATS! - 2,000,000 studs
* Studs x6 - Space Suits You, Sir! - 3,000,000 studs
* Studs x8 - Space Station Infestation - 4,000,000 studs
* Studs x10 - The Big Grapple - 5,000,000 studs
Find the level brick, buy the unlocked Extra at a Red Brick station, then enable it
under Extras. All five active together produce x3840. Use the `5MZ73E` code when you
want x2 unlocked immediately, then add the earned multipliers as you find them.
-= There Are 20 Red Bricks in the Base Game =-
Sixteen Red Bricks are tied to the 15 story levels plus the 1966 bonus level. Four
more Extras - Mini Characters, Unlimited Light, Unlimited Fuel and Unlimited
Electricity - are available for purchase from the start.
Buy unlocked Red Bricks at the Red Brick station in either the Batcave Trophy Room or
the Watchtower Trophy Room. In the Batcave Trophy Room, walk right from the entrance
to the raised station; in the Watchtower Trophy Room, the station is immediately to
the right after the short entrance corridor. Finding a level brick does not finish
the job: buy it, then enable it under Extras when you want the effect.
-= The Other Red Bricks Are Utility, Not Just Completion Marks =-
The remaining level Red Bricks include:
* Disguises - The Lantern Menace
* Gold Brick Detector - Europe Against It
* Minikit Detector - Big Trouble in Little Gotham
* Quest Detector - Power of Love
* Adam West in Peril Detector - A Blue Hope
* Attract Studs - Jailhouse Nok
* Festive Hats - All the Rage
* Character Token Detector - Need for Greed
* Fast Build - Aw-Qward Situation
* Collect Ghost Studs - Breaking the Ice
* Bat-Fight Captions - Same Bat-time! Same Bat-channel!
Prioritize the detectors, Attract Studs and Fast Build for cleanup utility. Cosmetic
effects can wait until the economy and collectible route are already efficient.
Collectibles and 100 Percent Route:
-----------------------------------
-= Each Story or Bonus Level Has Several Independent Completion Jobs =-
A level can award Gold Bricks for story completion, True Hero, all Character Tokens,
all ten Minikits and the Adam West rescue. Free Play is the intended tool for the
ability-gated parts. Do not interpret a completed story icon as proof that the level
is fully cleaned.
-= The Game Contains 250 Gold Bricks =-
Gold Bricks come from level objectives, hub activities, side missions, races, VR
missions and other challenges. Use the world-progress displays and Gold Brick
Detector rather than searching every hub blindly once the visible story content is
finished.
-= A Practical 100 Percent Order Saves Hours =-
Use this order:
1. Finish all 15 story levels.
2. Unlock a broad Free Play roster and buy the stud multipliers you can reach.
3. Activate the stud multipliers and useful detectors.
4. Replay story and bonus levels for Minikits, Character Tokens, Adam West rescues,
Red Bricks and True Hero.
5. Clear hub and Lantern-world quests, races and Gold Bricks.
6. Finish VR missions, remaining characters, suits and vehicles after the economy is
effectively unlimited.
This order avoids revisiting the same level because one late ability was still
missing.
-= Plastic Man Is the Key Red-Brick Cleanup Character =-
Plastic Man is required for the 16 Red Bricks hidden in the story and bonus levels.
He becomes available between "The Big Grapple" and "The Lantern Menace", or you can
unlock him immediately with `H2VB8Z`. If a Red Brick route in Free Play appears to
need a strange transformation or shape change, switch to Plastic Man before assuming
the collectible is bugged.
-= Atom and Poison Ivy Are Useful Late-Cleanup Gates =-
Some 100 percent routes become easier after Atom and Poison Ivy are available. Atom
can access tiny spaces, while Poison Ivy handles plant interactions that other
characters cannot. If a late collectible route still looks ability-locked despite a
large roster, check those two before assuming the object is bugged.
DLC and Season Pass:
--------------------
-= The Season Pass Contains Six Mission-Level Packs =-
The Season Pass includes six mission packs with Story and Free Play:
* Man of Steel
* The Dark Knight
* Batman 75th Anniversary
* Bizarro World
* The Squad
* Arrow
Together they add more than 40 characters and vehicles. Complete or select their
mission content from the game's episode/level interface after the DLC is installed.
-= Batman of the Future Is Not Part of the Season Pass =-
The Batman of the Future Character Pack is a separate character pack. Do not buy the
Season Pass expecting that pack to be included automatically.
-= Free Character Packs Also Exist =-
The Rainbow Character Pack and Heroines and Villainesses Character Pack are free
add-ons. Installed DLC characters become relevant in Free Play after the game has
opened the character-selection systems through normal story progression.
Story Bosses and Major Blockers:
--------------------------------
-= Killer Croc: Build the Hazard Machine =-
During Pursuers in the Sewers, use Batman's Sensor capability to expose the route and
advance the turbine/platform section. When Killer Croc scatters colored hazard
pieces, switch Robin into Hazard protection, vacuum the pieces, build the central
machine and deposit the collected material. Use the resulting cannon or machine state
to advance the boss instead of attacking Croc endlessly.
-= Controlled Batman: Turn His Own Slam Into the Solution =-
During Breaking BATS!, avoid Batman's direct attacks and wait for the heavy slam that
drops buildable pieces. Build the spotlight, rotate or aim the light at Batman and
attack during the exposed window. Repeat the cycle rather than trying to damage him
through the protected phase.
-= Firefly: Build the Water-Cannon Sequence =-
During Space Station Infestation, dodge Firefly's attacks with Flash, smash the
central build area and construct the Flash platform. Complete the speed interaction,
target the required objects and build the water cannon. Aim slightly above the
visible target because the water stream arcs.
-= Cheetah: Switch Characters When She Grabs You =-
When Cheetah pins or grabs the active character, switch to the partner and hit her to
free the victim. Later, build the Wonder Woman platform and use the available
deflection interaction to redirect the laser toward the gold target instead of trying
to damage the protected boss directly.
-= Brainiac in Europe Against It: Use Mirrors Before Lasers =-
Clear the minions, build the mirror structures and rotate them so Brainiac's own beam
is reflected back. Once he is stunned, use Superman's laser to damage the exposed
target. If Superman's beam does nothing, the mirror phase is not yet complete.
-= Atrocitus: Survive the Bull Charge, Then Mount It =-
During All the Rage, fly with Green Lantern to avoid the charge and beam attacks.
When the construct bull becomes vulnerable, approach it and use the displayed mount
prompt. Complete the riding/attack sequence and repeat the cycle three times.
-= Larfleeze: Use Grundy to Expose the First Phase =-
During Need for Greed, avoid the protected boss until Grundy's ground-smash sequence
exposes a dig point. Dig out the bomb and use the resulting opening to attack
Larfleeze. In the later phase, build the Green Lantern platform and construct the
large jack-in-the-box solution before attacking the smaller exposed boss.
-= Sinestro: Break the Shield With the Constructed Ram =-
During Aw-Qward Situation, use Grundy to tear down the required cylinder, build the
Green Lantern platform and complete the construct. The resulting ram destroys
Sinestro's protection and opens the quick-time attack. Do not keep firing at the
shield before the construct phase is done.
-= Breaking the Ice: Treat Superman as a Puzzle Boss =-
During the controlled-Superman sequence, dodge his attacks and use the environment
instead of trying to out-damage him. Let the required crystal or object be destroyed,
build the resulting device and use the cannon/ball-socket interactions to redirect
the fight. Later Flash constructions and treadmill-style interactions advance the
remaining scripted phases.
Technical Issues and Save Recovery:
-----------------------------------
-= Steam Save Path =-
For the Steam version, back up:
\userdata\\313690\remote\savedgames\
Close LEGO Batman 3 and fully exit Steam before copying or restoring the folder. Keep
the backup outside the userdata tree so Steam Cloud cannot overwrite it while you are
testing a repair.
-= A Black Screen After Loading Can Be a GUI3 Cache Problem =-
If the game reaches the menu but a save loads to a black screen, close the game and
open:
%APPDATA%\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO Batman 3 Beyond Gotham\
Rename the `GUI3` folder to `GUI3_Backup`, then launch again. The game can recreate
the GUI cache. Rename rather than delete so the original data is available if the
test does not help.
-= Space Suits You, Sir Can Softlock Around Robin's Rover =-
A frame-rate or synchronization problem can leave Robin, the rover or Batman's Space
Suit token stuck in the rover sequence. Enable V-Sync and use a 60 Hz/60 FPS-style
baseline before retrying. After the rover finishes digging, stay on Batman instead of
switching back to a stuck Robin. Alt-tab or press the Windows key and return if the
rover is caught at the exit. If the Space Suit token was already collected on a
previous attempt, restarting the level can let you continue without repeating that
pickup.
-= Mission 8 Crashes Can Be Renderer-Sensitive =-
If Big Trouble in Little Gotham repeatedly crashes around a Cyborg Magnet Suit fan or
similar set piece, switch the game's renderer to DirectX 9 and retry. If the crash is
tied to the fan interaction itself, approach the devices from the side and activate
them one at a time rather than triggering several rapidly.
-= Missing d3dx9_43.dll Points to the Legacy DirectX Runtime =-
If the game fails immediately with a DirectX DLL or 0xc000007b-style startup error,
repair or reinstall the Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtime rather than downloading a
single DLL from an unofficial site. Verify the Steam files afterward.

dark room and use the Techno Suit port there to activate the left grappler.
3. Return to the center, stand on the floor button and use the raised control panel.
4. Move the targeting crosshairs directly onto Brainiac's ship; the aim check is
strict, so keep adjusting until the crosshairs turn green and the grapple fires.
-= Killer Croc Keeps Resetting the Fight =-
1. Smash the objects on the central platform and build Robin's Hazard Suit machine.
2. Use Batman's Sensor Suit on both sides to reveal the floor buttons; stand on each
button so Croc jumps out and scatters colored LEGO pieces.
3. Vacuum at least 25 pieces with Robin's Hazard Suit and deposit them in the

1. Exit to the menu, enable V-Sync and use a 60 Hz/60 FPS-style baseline before
retrying the affected section.
2. Complete the rover dig sequence, then stay on Batman instead of switching back to
Robin if the rover is stuck at the exit.
3. Alt-tab or press the Windows key and return to the game if Robin still does not
clear the rover exit.
4. If Batman's Space Suit token was already collected on an earlier attempt, restart
the level and continue without trying to force the pickup sequence again.
-= Big Trouble in Little Gotham Crashes at the Cyborg Fan =-
1. Change the game's graphics/rendering option to DirectX 9 and reload the affected
section.
2. Approach the fan devices from the side instead of entering the interaction head
on.
3. Activate one device at a time and wait for each animation/state change to finish
before using the next.
