Guide for LEGO Worlds - General hints and tips
Tips/Tricks
I'll start by saying there is Co-op on this game, and not just local co-op, but online co-op with another player. However, the 2nd player won't be able to get any progress. Everything goes to 1st player, including the achievements. But, your stud count is separate. You may get one or two achievements from time to time, but I wouldn't bet on it. There are a few achievements that need either a second controller or another gamer to unlock it, though.
Also, there are "cheat" codes to unlock characters, but they aren't necessary, or required, for achievements.
There is one glitch in the game that periodically shows up from time to time. When you open a chest, there's a small chance, (5% chance, I'm guessing) that you'll get an item but you'll see a closed chest overlapping the one you just opened. If that happens, CONTINUE PRESSING and opening chests until it goes away. You can get 5-7 open in one glitched chest, which is awesome.
As stated earlier, finding items and completing quests will be the majority of what you do. You get items by completing quests, tackling troublemakers, raiding the Night Trader's items, and scouring through chests.
- If you see any Troublemakers, DROP EVERYTHING AND CHASE THEM DOWN! That has been one of my sources of getting the occasional gold bricks, usually 1/5 chance (I guesstimated) you get a gold one, and a lot of brick pieces. They also hold other rare, disposable items that you can use, or that cost a lot of studs to sell.
- Go to the Night Trader every time you see the blue air balloon image on the map. They always sell Health in Highway Robbery fashion (1 heart for 100,000 studs per visit) They sometimes sell gold bricks and brick pieces. They are in the same places if they do sell it. The heart is top left, the gold brick is always at the top middle (if it's an option) and the brick piece is always top right. Bottom 3 selections are always inventory items, no discoveries. For the top row, this is only if they are a selection. You don't always get gold bricks, and eventually they won't sell brick pieces because you bought their whole stock. So eventually, other items will show up.
- Your main constant source of finding inventory items, brick builds, and brick pieces (no gold bricks in chests), will be through chests. And minus the first 3 worlds that you use to get you to 10 bricks, every world has chests, some more than others.
Quests
The various quests you'll encounter are:
Enemies: There are 2 types of quests related to fighting enemies. Most quest givers will not defend themselves and you need to defeat every enemy yourself. If you or the quest giver runs out of health, the quest will be failed. The other type will actually fight the enemies with you. Pretty rare, but it happens. Before you activate the quest, look at the quest giver's forehead to see the enemies you're facing, or look around you at the enemies that start to spawn when you get close to the quest. The ones to kill will have yellow arrows on their heads when the quest begins.
- If they have red hearts for a health bar, every weapon (including your hands) should hurt them.
- If their health bar is black hearts, you need a weapon with "black" in front of it in order to inflict damage, like Black Katana for example (black weapons are listed below). or explosives. If you have a black weapon or explosive, they're found in your inventory; otherwise you can get one from chests or from quest givers. But be warned. Before I found my first Black Katana, I used explosives. If you accidentally hit the quest giver with explosives, or destroy some land with the explosives (which is unavoidable) they will usually want to kill you too. They will stop trying to kill you... if you can kill the enemies first. If you do use explosives, get to higher ground (your enemies don't try to climb) and throw them down to the enemies.
Items: Sometimes the quest giver will simply ask for an item. A crystal, a gem, a broom, any item that you get from chests and quests can be asked for. Please keep in mind the achievements you need. Don't sell your bagpipes you find until you play it next to a brown bull first. I'll specify the items needed to be found for achievements below to make it easier to keep a hold of when found.
Discovery Tool: Sometimes you're asked to decorate the area with items you discover, or animals. Just choose the item and put the required amount in the area. Usually, when you're asked to do this, the discoveries they ask for are in the area. Keep your eyes open!
Paint Tool: You'll be asked to paint a house or structure either a certain color or any color. Equip the certain color and hold down the button until you receive a check mark from the quest giver. You'll know when it pops up when you hear an upbeat signal.
Build Tool: You can be asked to build walls and structures, and finish projects. You'll see a cube outline. Hold when you're ready to put a brick wall. Drag your brick over either
or
(depending on where you're starting the wall) and use
or
to make the wall vertical. It only counts if it's in the green cube that the quest will show up as. This way, you can build a wall in seconds.
Landscape Tool: You'll be asked to remove or add terrain at times, in situations where someone is trapped.
Camera: You'll be asked to take a pic of someone or thing, or take a pic of the requestor next to someone or thing. Half of the time, the item or person requested is close.
Biomes:
Below is a list of all biomes discoverable in the game. Next to it will have vehicles, and/or animals you need to find.
*Biomes below that say N/A do not mean you can't find anything useful there, from chests to quests that give out good items. You can still find items tied to achievements in quests and chests. Below shows where there are fixed locations in the biomes. Explore a little around the world you're in before you say it can't give you much anymore.
**The DLC biomes aren't included. The list shows the main game biomes.
***I didn't discover Submerged Secrets. But some have stated they got the achievement after they found that biome, so when you are able to create worlds (100 bricks) and haven't found all biomes, just play process of elimination with the list below. On the walkthrough tab, I'll show all the biomes you need below after you get 100 gold bricks.
****The Creator Lawnmower is the only vehicle needed for an achievement but not in the chart below. This one is "supposed to" be found in towns (the towns that contain grass and vehicles). You'll learn more about towns later. If you don’t have the brick build "Lego Changing Seasons 31018", jump to the Terraforming achievement to see where a game issue/glitch exists.

Other Areas of Interest
Caves: Commonly found in all biomes. Haven't seen caves in Wicked Wasteland, though. They spawn underground and are shown on the map as a slightly-darker-than-the-terrain pathway.
*When you go scavenging for chests in caves, keep an eye out for the cave mushroom and green cave mushroom, and discover them when you see them.
Ocean/Sea/Water: Found in just about every biome. Mostly blue water; you'll find green-ish water in swamp biomes like Weird Woods.
*Only in the blue water, locate a shark. Half the time, they'll attack you.
