How to unlock the The Bonus Level is Yours achievement in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 - Definitive Guide

Here's a link to a guide I made. It has the location of every collectable in the game, including all the Gold Bricks.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24...

To make things easier, you'll want to grab the Gold Brick Detector first. Either use the cheat (84QNQN) or you can find it in the Owlery (see the above guide). You'll still need to find the red brick eventually in order to get 100%. You can buy the Red Brick extras from the upstairs of Eelops Owl Emporium in Diagon Alley, after you have unlocked them by finding them/getting them delivered by an owl.

**Please leave a comment/message me if you vote negative or see an error, I'll try to help :)**

Clock tower is a known glitch that hits some people, dash boarding wont fix it as it loads in after you place the cog. Having a save before like did, doesn't help either as Ive placed the cog 10 times now and no cigar.

The library indicator was a glitch (as per the guide) as the second time I went in the indicator wasn't there anymore.
I am still missing 1 brick and have been everywhere with the gold brick indicator on and have found nothing!
Any ideas would be most welcome as I don't want to have to start the game again with only 1 gold brick left!!

I am in the same position as you Sgt Slithe. I have only one brick left and I have been everywhere with that thing ON! I didn't get the clocktower glitch or any others but I just can't find the last one.

I feel for you Lonewulf79, this is so frustrating!! Is anyone aware of any 'invisible' gold bricks that don't show up on the indicator?

I would double check all the TT areas, since they don't show up unless you enter them.

I was missing one gold brick and was baffled after scouring Hogwarts repeatedly. It turned out I was missing the one the gold brick shop in Diagon Alley. The one were you have to sweep the floor. I'd double check that.

I've got 199/200 gold bricks and can't find the last one. With the gold brick detector on it is not detecting anything. I got the one in the owl shop from the sweeper. I got all 10 bonus levels completed, all story missions. I've built the 4 things in the basement of the Leaky Cauldron. I got the one in Knockturn Alley and all the Time Turner bricks. I also have all 12 of the ones you can buy in Diagon Alley in the owl shop. I've also got all the spells including the one from McGonagal others above said they missed. Like I said I have the Gold Detector turned on and it's not showing anything missing in any location but I'm still missing one.

I have the same problem as DeafAtheist. I have the clock tower one and the diagon alley, even the knockturn alley one. I'm at a loss to where it is, because I have everything else I need including all of the students in peril.

Well this sucks. I'm at 199/200 and can't get the Clock Tower one. I wrote TT Games and asked what I could do. I really don't feel like redo-ing it but it's not the end of the world since this guide will let me to do it pretty fast...

I have seen it mentioned in comments for other achievements, but just in case - a patch has been released that seems to have fixed most, if not all glitches. I had experienced the Clock Tower glitch but after the update, I went straight back to the room and, lo and behold, there is was.

I'm still at 198/200. Have completed all lessons, bought everything, visited all areas (including the hidden greenhouse one). I can't remember if the clock tower glitched for me or not. Detector won't show anything and there's no way to tell. I've scoured Hogwarts. This is very frustrating. I wish there was a way to tell how many bricks were in specific areas so I could find out which ones I'm missing. May have to start a new game sometime and check off the bricks as I come across them.

Is there a way to fix the gold brick glitch in the clock tower

If you have the clock tower glitch, turn off all red bricks, use the time turner in the clock tower, press Start and go to Leaky Cauldron. Go back to Hogwarts and you should have the gold brick

Excellent guide thankyou. I have 1 left in the library 2nd room. I have hit the 3 brown hats and the gold brick won't appear! The gold brick indicator shows it at the back left wall, but no brick!
Has anyone had this problem? What is the 'dashboarding' that you guys are reffering too?
Thanks

I've found the last one! Stupidly had not completed the lesson in Hogwarts where you get the spell from McGonnagal. Harry, Ron and Harmoine all have to hit 2 dummies and turn them into animals.
I then got the gold brick for completing the lesson! This one does not show up on the detector.
Lonewulf79, see if you did the same as me and missed it - easy way to tell is if you enter the transfiguration classroom and can't get back out, that means you haven't completed the lesson.
Thanks again to Radiant Viper for an excellent guide :-)

RadiantViper's Collection Guide is great. I highly recommend starting there.

I was stuck on 199/200 gold bricks (and 49/50 students) and thought I was glitched. I assumed that the student I was missing had been credited to my son's account when he had been playing on the second player in co-op. I was about to delete my save and start over when I found a glitch that recovered my missing student in peril and a gold brick. This is worth a try before replaying the entire game....

Go to the clocktower. Use the time turner to turn back time. Exit to the leaky cauldron. Go back to Hogwarts. You will be taken back to the clock tower. At this point my missing studen in peril showed up. When I returned to the leaky cauldron, my gold brick count had increased also.

I can confirm that two other people have had reported luck with this. This game is glitchy so it may help you, but it may not.

I got a gold brick glitched in the library. Went and tried this and it unlocked the gold block and awarded me the last Student in Peril that I hadn't collected yet in the left Charms underground room. Weird how this worked, but, it saved me from replaying the game again. Thank you for posting this solution/recommendation.

I think im in the same boat, I've just finished last "gringot's" level and im now on 199/200 (everything else is 100%) i used the RadiantViper's guide to do Hogwarts before i went back through and replayed all the story levels and im 99% sure I got all the gold bricks! I tried the "clock tower giltch" and it gave me the extra SIP but no gold brick!!!!!!!! Think ill have to go back through Hogwarts again :(

This worked great for me. I was missing a SIP and 2 gold bricks. Did this and now I'm only missing one gold brick - hopefully I'll be able to track that one down somewhere in Hogwarts.

This isn't the one I was missing (I was missing the student in the picnic basket in Hagrid's garden), but this guide got me back to where I needed to be, so thanks regardless!

I thought I had a gold brick library glitch too as the indicator was showing a gold brick in this room but all the hats were gone. I couldn't exactly remember if I got it or not. I had about 21 bricks left and accounted for the other 20 in Students in Peril and Crests so I thought I was staring 199/200 in the face.

I tried this trick and it didn't work, so I continued on getting the other bricks and characters I had left just in case and as it turns out I didn't get the gold brick in the Time Turner version of the clock tower. I had to get the Madam Rosmerta character and stumbled upon this. It was actually the last gold brick I needed in Hogwarts, not the one in the restricted section.

Anyway, the point of this is that the game is showing a gold brick for one that doesn't seem to be there anymore, check RadiantViper's guide and step through each gold brick in Hogwarts to verify you've gotten all of them. This doesn't seem to glitch for the 100 or so gold bricks you get from beating levels/saving students in story mode/getting all the crests/earning True Wizard status, so just verify you've gotten all the remaining ones in Hogwarts.

So after spending a lot of time running around the castle trying to find the final gold brick, make sure you aren't missing any students in peril, getting the final student in peril will grant you a gold brick. I had one student to find which gave me the 200th brick.

*GLITCH WARNING*
Some of the Gold Bricks can glitch on you and not reappear so you are stuck out of your 100% on that save file and are forced to start over. We will detail these at the end of the description of this trophy, make sure you read it before starting on the Hogwarts collectables.

There are 200 gold bricks in total. Most of the tasks also have a trophy associated with them, check them for more details.

They are available as follows:

  • 72 for completing, getting all the house crests and getting true wizard in every level
  • 50 for the Students in Peril (24 in level, 26 across free roam)
  • 36 scattered across Hogwarts and Diagon Alley (See the collectable guide)
  • 16 through story progression when you learn new things
  • 12 available in the Owl Emporium for sale, 6.6m studs in total (11 unlockable through cheats in Roadmap)
  • 10 for completing each Gringotts bonus level
  • 4 for building each statue under the Leaky Cauldron (after getting all the gold bricks in the levels)

When you get all 200 gold bricks this trophy is yours, the bonus level to unlock Voldemort becomes available. Refer to this guide for the Free-roam bricks.

*Glitches*
Charms Left Class Underground Area - Some people have not been able to leave this area meaning they cannot do anything else in Hogwarts. The assumed cause is trying to leave on the dragon when the game is saving. Also, some people have reported not being able to re-enter the room. Make sure you get everything in one go and it may be a good idea to leave this area for last. Make a backup beforehand.

Library Second Room - Make sure to have Harry and a Dark Magic Character with you when attempting the Wizard (Red) Character. You need to defeat three enemies including a Dementor. If you leave halfway through, the creatures there may not respawn upon returning. This means you cannot get this thus locking yourself out of the 100%

Clock Tower - The gold brick in here has been reported to not appear despite the correct things being done, make a backup beforehand just in case this happens to you.

There are also a few more glitches but they don't affect your %, here is a Gamefaqs thread, (credit to ixbay), that details some of them.

There are two ways to obtain this trophy:

1) Find it yourself

2) Enter the code for the gold brick detector - 84QNQN

To check where and how many gold bricks you forgot, go to the Leaky Cauldron, then use Requires Reducto on the shiny castle and go down to the basement. In the basement there will be Golden Bricks with the heads labeled (Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4) and above them will be the number of bricks you missed.
