Unlocking chapter 5 - Millennium Falcon's interior

Just like you did before the fourth chapter, you must complete a series of easy steps on board of the Millennium Falcon before you can access the next chapter of the main storyline. The required steps are described below, and, as always, the transparent studs will lead you to your destination.

After reaching the first part of the Millennium Falcon use Chewbacca's ability on the interactive handle. Jump into the newly unlocked room and eliminate mynocks located there. Some of those creatures will be located on the walls - in those cases use a blaster (or any other ranged weapon) to eliminate them.

The second objective from Han Solo is to repair the hyperdrive. After reaching the destination, start destroying nearby objects and construct a socket. Switch to BB-8 and place the robot into the socket. Press and hold the right directional button / tilt the analog stick to the right side to perform the repairs.

You can now head towards the console. Interact with it and after select planet Takodana from the galactic map. Confirm your choice and the next chapter of the campaign will begin.

Exploring the area surrounding the castle

Follow the rocky path and eliminate the small monsters encountered on your way. Once you reach castle courtyard, a short cutscene will inform you that the entrance to the main building is guarded by a bodyguard whom you must wake up somehow. Select Han Solos, find the blue markers on the right side and use the Quadnoculars. Decide to scan the tower. This will uncover an interactive hook. Catch it and destroy the tower.

Walk towards the jumping bricks and decide to build a new device on the left side. BB-8 must interact with the object. This will remove the tree and uncover a climbing wall.

Now you can destroy the previously constructed device and create water cannon slightly further on the right side. You can't use it yet because there is not enough water in the tank.

Switch to Rey and use the newly unlocked climbing wall in order to reach the closest upper left balcony. Once you reach it, hit the pot shown on the above picture. This will make it fall down. Now you can use the bricks from the destroyed pot to add a part of the pipe and create a water supply for the water cannon. Use it as BB-8. You will wake up the guard and be able to enter the castle.

Exploring the main room of the castle

In the large room of the castle you must complete three main activities symbolized by icons at the upper part of the screen. First go to the left and find the shooting range. Speak to Ithano as character with a blaster. Now you must hit 10 targets in less than 45 seconds. Don't waste time on hiding behind cover - remain uncovered and use manual aiming to aim at the targets and shoot them. After completing the objective Finn will go to the meeting with Ithano and you will be able to continue the game as the remaining playable characters.

Now switch to Han Solo, go to the middle part of the large room and find the blue stickers near the fireplace. Position yourself there and press the interaction button to use Quadnoculars. Scan the mechanism above the fireplace and then switch to BB-8 and connect yourself to it.

Interactive bricks will appear on the ground. Use them to build a new object on the right side. The object will be a big mellows. You must jump on it in order to increase the temperature of the grille with the meat. A short cutscene will start. You will be informed that a passage to the right side of the main castle room is unlocked.

Walk towards the end of the main room of the castle and listen about problems at the bar. Interact with the new jumping bricks and use them to build a rotating mechanism on the right side. Only Rey can use it. Once she does use it, a small hatch will be uncovered. Switch to BB-8 and walk through this small hole.

The robot will get to the back of the bar. Ride on the mechanism on the ground and a part of the wall will uncover. You must solve the riddle by manipulating the rotating elements and allowing the liquid to swim through the whole machine. The solution to the riddle is shown on the above picture.

Select Han Solo or Rey and destroy the rotating mechanism which you previously constructed. This time start building at the bar and plug the upper pipe. If you complete all the actions correctly, a few cutscenes will be shown to you.

Exploring the castle basement

Start following the main corridor of the basement and eliminate the small creatures on your way that will try stopping you. Reach the mechanism at the wall where Rey must use her ranged weapon on two interactive shields. Once it is done, build a nest and place BB-8 inside it.

Hold the right directional button or move the stick to the right in order to partially raise the gate. Switch to Rey and use her unique ability to slip under the gate. Once you're on the other side, destroy the bricks and then build the interactive mechanism on the right side. Use it to finish raising the gate. Destroy the mechanism which you used for raising the gate and this time construct a terminal on the left side. Select BB-8 and use the terminal. This will unlock access to the next part of the basement.

The riddle with the statues in the basement

Move forward and eliminate a few drones on your path. You must reach the closed door. There you will have a riddle to solve. In order to complete it you must make the statues on the left and on the right from the door turned towards the corridor through which you came here (their position will be similar to the miniatures above the closed door).

The above picture can help you in solving this riddle. Switch to Rey, build a rotating mechanism (point 1 on the picture) and use it for the first time (point 1 on the picture). Start moving the statues until the left one (point 2 on the picture) is turned towards the corridor through which you cane. Stop using the rotating mechanism and position yourself on the pressure plate under the left statue (point 3 on the picture). This will make it change its color to red. It means that the position of this statue is locked and it won't be rotated. Go back to the rotating mechanism (point 1) and use it again. Since the left statue is locked, you will be moving only the right one (point 4 on the picture). Make it turned towards the corridor through which you entered.

The correct position of both statues is shown on above picture. Now you can select BB-8 and connect to the socket located above the gate. For completing these actions a passage to the new part of the basement will be unlocked.

Riddle with gears in the basement

In this part of the basement there is another riddle to solve. Completing it is required for opening the new door. Destroy the surrounding objects, this will give you access to two groups of interactive bricks. Use the first group to build a permanent socket for BB-8 in the middle of the room. Then take interest in the other bricks. First use them to build a rotating mechanism on the left side. Interact with it as Rey.

Use the rotating mechanism to unlock access to the left room. Take the first of two gears from there - they will be needed for completing the main riddle. Take the gear to the central mechanism and place it in one of the slots marked by the game.

Obtaining the second gear will be harder. Destroy the rotating mechanism and use the interactive bricks which were previously used for constructing it to create a trampoline on the right side. Jump on it as Rey and bounce from it a few times in order to catch the upper rod.

Now switch to BB-8 and ride as the robot to the large socket which you constructed at the very beginning. Move the mechanism and the rod with Rey hanging on it will change its position.

Switch to Rey and use the fact that after switching the location of the rod you can jump to the nearby one and then land on the upper right ledge. Use the climbing wall located there to reach new rods. Move through them to the left.

Select BB-8 again and activate the mechanism on which he is standing. This will change location of the rods on which Rey is hanging. Once you do it, take control of Rey and finish the journey to the upper ledge located in the left corner of the room.

As Rey, catch the new climbing wall near the left upper ledge. Once you do it, switch to BB-8 and activate the mechanism. You must raise the wall on which Rey is hanging. Then switch to Rey and start moving through the wall to the left. Start jumping to the small objects extending from the wall. Then move to the left through the small narrow edge. You must reach the new upper ledge shown on the above picture.

After reaching the new ledge mentioned above you must break the nearby bricks and then use them to construct a rotating mechanism. Using this mechanism will unlock access to a small room with the second gear.

Jump down and eliminate the new damaged droids. Reach the second gear once you secure the area. Take the object and move it to the central mechanism in which you must place it.

The final part of the riddle is very simple. Start with destroying the right trampoline which previously helped Rey in jumping to the upper rod. Use the interactive bricks on the upper mechanism (the one with two gears). Now you can select BB-8 and activate the device. The door under the large mechanism will open and the chapter will end.
