Earning coins fast | General tips LEGO Batman 3 Guide

Collecting coins doesn't have to be arduous

When completing the main campaign, you've surely found not much coins. Their number is usually less then 170 000 per mission and new character prices are often ten times higher. To buy all the characters and vehicles, you would have to collect coins for several days, but there's one trick that will help you to do it faster.

Right after completing the main campaign, go to Green Lantern's planet, Oa, and start collecting the coins spread around the map. Here, you can find the most of them and a small territory. You will find a whole lot of blue coins and a few purple ones (also hundreds of silver coins, but you can skip them). When clearing the location from all coins one time, you will collect about 100 000 of them - not bad for a few minutes of work.

The computer in which you activate upgrades in exchange for Red Bricks

The next step is unlocking an upgrade that increases the number of coins that you collect. You can unlock five such upgrades in exchange for Red Bricks (x2, x4, x6, x8 and x10). Below, you can see a list of all the Red Bricks that unlock the upgrades.

• X2 multiplier Red Brick - this brick can be found in the Pursuers in the Sewers mission (more info about unlocking it in the Pursuers in the Sewers chapter).
• X4 multiplier Red Brick - this brick can be found in the Breaking BATS! mission (more info about unlocking it in the Breaking BATS! chapter).
• X6 multiplier Red Brick - this brick can be found in the Space suits you, Sir! mission (more info about unlocking it in the Space suits you, Sir! chapter).
• X8 multiplier Red Brick - this brick can be found in the Space Station Infestation mission (more info about unlocking it in the Space Station Infestation chapter).
• X10 multiplier Red Brick - this brick can be found in The Big Grapple mission (more info about unlocking it in The Big Grapple chapter).

After collecting the Bricks, you should go to the trophy hall in the Batcave or the Watchtower and activate them on the computer. Each activation costs a given amount of coins, so collect them in the place described earlier and buy the upgrade as soon as you have enough coins. The hardest part will be the beginning. With no upgrades, you will need to go back to Oa more than tem times to gather enough coins, but after purchasing the second upgrade, the speed of the process will be increased considerably. The upgrades doesn't "overwrite" one another, which means that if you have x2 upgrade and you buy the x4, you will receive 8 times more coins. When completing these steps, you will come to a moment in which you will collect up to a billion coins for one stay on Oa (the last upgrade is x3840!).

Remember also that when unlocking Red Bricks (buying upgrades), the upgrade won't start working until you activate it in the main menu. You can switch an upgrade on or off any time you want.
