Finding every hidden extra in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes can dramatically alter how you experience Gotham City. Red Bricks act as game-changing cheats, providing score multipliers, useful detectors, and hilarious visual effects. Locating all twenty collectibles requires exploring the open-world hub and utilizing specific villain abilities.
Exploring Northern Gotham for Key Multipliers
The northern island of Gotham City contains several vital Red Bricks that grant immediate gameplay advantages. Players can find the Studs x8 brick hidden in an alcove near the northern metro station, requiring Lex Luthor's Deconstructor to open. Additionally, character abilities like the Joker's gas Immunity or the Riddler's box puzzle skills are essential for retrieving nearby extras like Disguises and Fall Rescue.
Central Gotham and Essential Detector Extras
Central Gotham features collectibles that make tracking down remaining secrets much easier for completionists. The Gold Brick Finder is located inside a Riddler box near the Gotham Beach walkway, while the Minikit Piece Finder requires winning a toy boat challenge in Gotham Park. Using these detectors early allows players to uncover hidden items across the open world without relying on outside maps.
Unlocking Invincibility in Southern Gotham
Southern Gotham holds some of the most powerful game modifiers available in the entire title. Players can secure the Invincibility brick atop Wayne Tower by solving a Riddler box puzzle. The massive Studs x10 multiplier is also found on this island inside a black LEGO structure that demands Lex Luthor's special weapon to break open.
Purchasing and Activating Your Unlocks
Collecting a Red Brick in the open world only reveals the unlock, meaning players must spend studs to officially purchase it. Once acquired, extras must be toggled on manually through the pause menu whenever a player loads into the game. Combining stud multipliers together creates exponential score bonuses, allowing players to reach True Hero status in seconds.
