LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Achievement Guide

Grinding out the Platinum trophy in Gotham City requires an absurd amount of property damage.

You have exactly 52 achievements to unlock in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. It is a massive checklist pulling you through every dark corner of all nine districts. You need to finish the main campaign, solve dozens of tedious puzzles, and hoover up millions of plastic coins to claim that final Platinum trophy.

The good news is that TT Games took pity on us. They did not include a single missable trophy in the entire run. If you forget to grab a collectible during a story mission, you can just boot up the Batcomputer in your base and replay it later.

To keep you from endlessly scrolling through one giant table, I broke the requirements down into logical categories.

Story Progression

You unlock a huge chunk of this list simply by playing the game. You get trophies for finishing chapters, building your roster, and eventually wrapping up the main campaign.

I highly recommend ignoring the open world completely until you finish Chapter 6. Having the full character roster makes backtracking for hidden items significantly easier.

Gotham City Street Sweeping

Once you hit the open world, you have a lot of busywork ahead of you. It takes a solid amount of dedication to clean up these streets. #### Combat Milestones Batman famously adheres to a strict moral code, but hitting a random street thug 99 times in a row for an achievement really tests the limits of that rule. Do not just mash the attack button to get your combo multiplier up. Stun large groups with your Batarangs first, then safely punch your way to victory.

Achievement	How to Unlock
The Strength To Fight	Reach a Combat Combo of 99 hits. Stun groups with Batarangs and spam basic attacks.
"I am the shadows."	Perform 100 Stealth Takedowns by sneaking up on enemies.
Caped Defender	Perform 100 successful counters during combat encounters.
Cowardly and Superstitious Lot	Defeat every single type of enemy at least once. Unlocks naturally via the story.

Open World Activities

I highly recommend using Batgirl for your exploration efforts. Her Hackarang unlocks district Towers, which instantly reveals the map icons you desperately need. Also, make sure you drop whatever you are doing whenever the police dispatch calls out a random crime. You need to stop 30 of them in total to clear the list.

Achievement	How to Unlock
"This is my city."	Open your map and manually place a custom waypoint pin.
"It's not exactly a normal world."	Physically visit all 9 districts in Gotham City.
"Gotham can feel a little safer."	Prevent 30 random crimes reported over the police dispatch radio.
"Things have improved."	Prevent every distinct type of crime in Gotham at least once.
"Wouldn't wanna make things too easy."	Earn 5 gold medals in open world AR trials.
"You're becoming quite the celebrity."	Discover 100 open-world events. Use Batgirl to hack Towers and reveal them.
"Is that like parachuting?"	Find 10 different wind tunnels on the map and glide completely through them.
"It's a big city. I can't be everywhere."	Solve the puzzles at the 9 shutter icons to unlock all SubWayne Station fast travel points.
Collecting Evidence	Open Photo Mode and roll the camera over 20 degrees.
Computer Privileges	Walk up to the Batcomputer in the Batcave and change the screensaver.
Up for the Challenge	Complete 20 challenges from the Challenge Board inside the Batcave.
"Hopefully because he's busy."	Complete every single side activity, including all missions, races, and puzzles.

The Billionaire Grind

Bruce Wayne has unlimited resources, yet you are the one stuck picking up plastic coins to pay for his gadgets. You need to fully upgrade your gear, buy out Bat-Mite's entire shop, and hoard over a million studs.

Breaking the Economy

If you try to unlock all the vehicle and suit achievements by punching mailboxes organically, you will be playing this game until next year. Before you waste your time, check out my guide on farming unlimited studs. I figured out exactly how to bypass the grind so you can just buy everything instantly.

A quick warning on the WayneTech caches: focus on upgrading just one character first. You need to purchase all gadget upgrades for a single hero to unlock "Wonderful Toys," so pour all your initial resources into Batman's Batclaw before spreading the wealth.

"No, Sir. The OTHER car."	Purchase 3 vehicles using Studs at the Batcave garage terminal.

Collectible Hoarding

You need to track down over 200 WayneTech Caches, 25 Bat-Symbol coins, and every single Red Brick. The Riddler and Cluemaster also decided to team up and leave 61 separate puzzle rooms scattered around the map. Grab a coffee before you start hunting these down.
