How to unlock the New High Score achievement in LEGO Dimensions - Definitive Guide
Story related and cannot be missed.
There are two game mechanics to cover before proceeding. The first is Gamer Kid's powers that are operated with the button. You can tap the button and this will display Gamer Kid's powers on the screen, one at a time per tap. While you see one of his powers displayed on the screen, if that is the one that you want, press and hold the and it will activate that specific power for a short time duration. If successful you will see a wall clock above Gamer Kid's head. For the small walk through below I will refer to this as Activate {POWER} where POWER is obviously the power that you need.
The other is the Arcade Machine. For the small walk through below I will refer to this as Play {GAME} where GAME is obviously the game in question. This phrase means this:
- You just did something to reveal an Arcade Game Station.
- You must play this game to continue the story; it is not optional (some are and will be noted).
- Ride the Arcade Machine toy tag via
- Press while in front of the Arcade Game Station. This will engage the toy tag 'vehicle' in the game station and Gamer Kid will jump off.
- Press one more time to start playing the game.
- Press to start the game and to exit the game.
- There are 3 medals that you can earn while playing the game. If no medals are shown, then this is an optional game. To continue the story, you only need to acquire the Bronze Medal which is vastly more simple than the Gold Medal.
- The moment that you acquire enough points for the Bronze Medal, the game will be interrupted and you will be asked if you want to keep playing or exit to continue the story.
- Select Continue Exploring Arcade to continue the story.
Lock #1
- Activate Invincibility and destroy the car that is firing at you from the far side of the area.
- Create the G-6155 Spy Hunter toy tag from the rubble and use it on the Accelerator Switch.
- Create the Arcade Machine toy tag and head to the Arcade Game Station in the back right.
- Play Spy Hunter
- This will unlock elevator lock #1 of 6.
At this point the other 5 locks may be unlocked in any order that you wish. In other words, you do not have to do them in the order that I list them; this is simply how I did it.
Lock #2
- From the first area, head into the left room. It has air hockey tables inside of it.
- Activate Invisibility and destroy the Robotron enemy that is bouncing around.
- It will take a few destruction respawns but eventually it will respawn with confusion stars around its head. This is the final time you have to destroy it.
- Play Robotron
- This will unlock elevator lock #2 of 6.
- Optional Game: Defender II (Need to use Fix-It on the blue LEGO pieces in the back right corner)
Lock #3
- Return to the first area then head into the right room. It has 4 floor switches.
- Activate Super Speed and run across all 4 switches very quickly. I found this rather clunky control-wise but eventually I got it.
- Play Joust
- This will unlock elevator lock #3 of 6.
Lock #4
- From the same location as the previous step, head down the steps that are located in the back left of the room.
- The next area will have you at the top of two zig-zag stair steps.
- Activate Laser Vision and destroy the large gold item that is near the top of the stairs. This reveals a cracked LEGO wall.
- Activate Super Strength and destroy the cracked LEGO wall.
- Build an Accelerator Ramp from the rubble and use the G-6155 Spy Hunter on it.
- Play Defender
- This will unlock elevator lock #4 of 6.
Lock #5
- From the same location as the previous step, head down the steps and proceed to the front of the area.
- Near the front of the screen you will see 2 sets of gold objects: one on the left and one on the right. There will be a race car zooming around on the floor, and it will intentionally try to knock you down.
- Activate Laser Vision and destroy one of these gold objects. Build the rubble to activate a small cutscene.
- Repeat the last step on the last gold object.
- Build a refuelling station from the final rubble which will activate a final small cut-scene.
- Play Super Sprint
- This will unlock elevator lock #5 of 6.
Lock #6
- From the same location as the previous step, head back to the steps but do not go up them.
- Look to the right to see a security camera over a door.
- Activate Invisibility and walk through the double doors underneath the security camera to enter the next room.
- Defeat the 4 Gauntlet character that are walking around.
- Play Gauntlet
- This will unlock elevator lock #6 of 6.
- Optional Game: Gauntlet II - Use the G-6155 Spy Hunter on the triple grapple points in the front of this room to create the Arcade Game Station.
You have now unlocked the elevator, which can be accessed both this lower area (near where you played Super Sprint). Entering the elevator will take you to the final story-related area. Final steps:
- Walk forward from where you enter and pull the switch that is nearby. This will activate an Arcade Game Station on the far right of this area.
- Play Rampage
- After acquiring enough points, select ????? to complete the level.
The trophy will unlock during the level completion sequence.
