Sorry but I didn't mark every gold brick location. However, here are some tips to help you find them all.

I would wait until after completing the story line so you have all of the Batman/Robin suits before you start finding these. Use my solution for finding the Gold Brick Finder (and it's always good to have the Stud Multiplier Red Bricks).

Once you have that brick you're going to want to fly around Gotham and find all the red beams pointing in the sky. These will uncover the map and show you where the villians are. To find the heros you need a select amount of Gold Bricks and you can see the locations on Video Games Blogger. You're then going to want to find/buy the following characters:

- Aquaman (can byspass a couple Hazard Suit Robin tasks)
- Penguin (uses bombs much like Power Suit Batman)
- Cyborg (uses magnets much like Magnet Suit Robin)
- Lex Luther (can break black/purple blocks)
- The Joker (usses electricity like Eletric Suit Batman | can open Joker boxes)
- The Riddler (can open Riddler boxes)
- The Flash (can bypass secuirty camera doors sometimes - thanks iSuzzyBunny!)
- Black Canary (can bypass some Batsuit tasks - thanks iPhinnyy!)

These characters will allow you to skip alot of climbing buildings with Batman/Robin in the required suits which will save you a ton of time. You will still need to scale a couple buildings for Acrobat / Hazard Suit Robin tasks. Aquaman can bypass the water-only tasks for Hazard Robin, but you will need Robin for a couple of the colored chemical tasks.

Once you have this team built up you can scan Gotham (press Y on the map) and every little gold bleep is a brick. Sometimes the map will point to a Helicopter or Speed Boat that you will need to buy / ride to get the Gold Brick. The Red Brick will not "find" these (If you struggle with the helicopter ones, I recomend going there with one of the Lexcorp flying machines - they're much easier to navigate vertically).

There's mini-games/rides/other tasks around Gotham (especially in the "Fun Park" area) that will pop out gold bricks once you've completed them.They all register as gold blimps on your map. There's also one for finishing the Bonus Level.

Remember you pick some up in missions:
You get gold bricks for completing the following in each level. This is another place the team comes into play. I recomend going into the second playthrough / free-play with the Minikit Finder, and Citizen Finder. Each task = 1 Gold Brick.

- Completing the level
- "Super-Hero" (collecting studs)
- "Citizen In Peril"
- Collecting 10 Minikit pieces
CHRI5T0PH5RA gold brick is also given for the completion of each mission completed in story mode.

FrustratedNerdI thought so, but i wasn't sure.

oxBURN3RxoJust wanted to say you should maybe post a link that shows/tells the locations of the bricks and how to get them. I own and have completed every lego game and have this one also (just haven't started it yet) so I know how frustrating it can be when you get down to one last brick.
Posted by oxBURN3Rxo on 07 Jul 12 at 01:03
FrustratedNerdYeah, I'm actually still finding them myself to be honest. I'm on a second play through picking up collectables on my spare time. Been playing with the girl so I haven't been cruel enough to dot them down. I'll probably remove this when someone posts a more detailed one. I pretty wrote this for the n00bs.

NinjaDave04A few things you could add:

You need to unlock the 3 suits for Batman/Robin in story mode to obtain most of the bricks.

There is a red brick that will show you where gold bricks are around you (gold brick detector). Once I got this, it made the hunt so much easier! (You need Lex, Joker, and Riddler to get most red bricks) I THINK I got that brick in the parl, but honestly not sure. Definitely in the middle island though.

There are 3you animals you need to ride in the zoo for gold bricks (Gorilla, Lion, Giraffe)
Posted by NinjaDave04 on 08 Jul 12 at 18:01
FrustratedNerdYeah, I'll update this tomorrow. You only need to ride the lion for a gold brick. Plus a bunch of helicopters. The only costumes you need are hazard Robin, and acrobat Robin. You can replace magnet Robin with Cyborg, power-suit Batman with Penguin/Superman, sonic suit Batman with Manbat, and I'm pretty sure that's all you need.
Posted by FrustratedNerd on 08 Jul 12 at 18:34
FrustratedNerdI re-wrote the solution. Hopefully it helps more people know. These were really easy to find, and hopefully people don't expect a location guide when they show up on the map lol.
Posted by FrustratedNerd on 08 Jul 12 at 22:24
NinjaDave04No you need to ride all 3 animals and a polar bear for bricks
Posted by NinjaDave04 on 10 Jul 12 at 23:22
FrustratedNerdSeriously? I swear I only rode one.
Posted by FrustratedNerd on 11 Jul 12 at 01:38
ScuzzyBunnyCouple of notes...you can get the Gold Brick detector by using this code MBXW7V (does not affect achvs)

...and unlike other Lego games, no need for a map, as every Gold and Red Brick is on the map accessed from either the pause menu or Batcomputer terminal.

....for Gold Bricks that require a vehicle/ animal you just got the area and get in whatever is around, then the path/ game will open up with a gold brick at the end. I think the zoo was ride a bear, giraffe, and gorilla.
Posted by ScuzzyBunny on 20 Jul 12 at 17:47
ScuzzyBunnyOh, and I found that the Flash can beat some of the security cams for those bricks. Get his speed up and he can grab it before the doors close.
Posted by ScuzzyBunny on 20 Jul 12 at 17:54
FrustratedNerdOh really? That's a nice touch! I didn't even think to use Flash for that. I didn't add the code because I'm against using cheats and was hoping other people would. Plus there's already other solutions that state the cheats : )
Posted by FrustratedNerd on 20 Jul 12 at 18:13
ScuzzyBunnyFlash only works on some...but you can add that Joker can do Electric Suit stuff! Only got Flash to work twice...so not 100% trick, but fun option!
Posted by ScuzzyBunny on 20 Jul 12 at 20:19
FrustratedNerdOh yeah good call. That was like 90% of the reason I put Joker on this list lol. I sometimes write these day after from memory so I don't always perfect results lol. I'll note that he only works sometimes.
Posted by FrustratedNerd on 20 Jul 12 at 20:24
Chameleon1977Another option for the security cam is superman (or anyone who can fly). I hovered above the brick, just out of the cam's range and hit B to drop. Two out of three attempts ended up with me falling quick enough that I got the brick before the doors closed. Unfortunately I was around 200 bricks into the game before discovering that one!
Posted by Chameleon1977 on 23 Jul 12 at 08:49
FrustratedNerdHa, that's all right. I'm just finding about these now and I already sent the game back to GameFly. Go figure lol.

JohnnyDrama HBOI AM STUCK ON ONE OF THEM ITS BY THE BRIDGE ON THE FIRST ISLAND ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE DO I need to use a helicopter is it a time one? can this my last one 249/250 its pissing me off
Posted by JohnnyDrama HBO on 25 Jul 12 at 21:52
FrustratedNerdI responded to PM with: I got stuck on that one too. From memory, I THINK you have to get an air vehicle out of the batcave. Not 100% though.
Posted by FrustratedNerd on 26 Jul 12 at 02:14
brzeminI'm stuck on one GOLD BRICK. On the map it show it on zoo area. When I enter to the zoo by entrance, turn left and pass the animals cages with GOLD BRICK DETECTOR it shows me on the floor but I don't see anything there. Please help.
Posted by brzemin on 28 Jul 12 at 13:09
FrustratedNerdTry riding all the animals and breaking everything around it.
Posted by FrustratedNerd on 28 Jul 12 at 13:39
PhinnaazYou may also want to add the Black Canary can sub in for Batman's 'Bat suit'. She can be bought from a gold door near the bottom right of the first island.
Posted by Phinnaaz on 11 Aug 12 at 16:20
FrustratedNerdOh really? I didn't even know. I'll add this as soon as I get to a computer. Thanks for the info!

Zacry072There's a gold spot on the map smack dab on the botanic gardens, but with the gold brick detector on it doesn't show that there's any brick around. I'm missing all 15 minikits and 9 civilians from my freeplay, so that's 24 that I still need to get. Unfortunately I need 25 more, and yes I've done the Toy Gotham thing for its extra gold brick. UGH.
Posted by Zacry072 on 30 Aug 12 at 01:43
FrustratedNerdIs there a vehicle on the map around that area?

FrustratedNerdDuplicate post? If you want to send me a pic of your map / where the gold brick is, I can try to remember what you had to do. PM me though. No need to keep sending people PMs for every comment ; )
Posted by FrustratedNerd on 30 Aug 12 at 02:00
Zacry072Ok I restarted my game and now the gold spot is no longer on the botanic gardens...but is now near Wayne Manor! And when I fly over to Wayne Manor there's nothing there either! WTF is happening!?
Posted by Zacry072 on 30 Aug 12 at 02:07
FrustratedNerdI did have an issue with one brick staying on the map after I collected it and it didn't disappear until I restarted. Maaaaaybe that's what it is happening?
Posted by FrustratedNerd on 30 Aug 12 at 02:21
aenima122@Zacry072 the one directly above the botanical garden should be at the end of an air ride. Easiest way to start it is take a flying vehicle right out of the bat cave and as you leave, go up in altitude and it should spawn the beginning of the course

PrimeBigTimeGreat guide, not sure why the negs. The key piece is knowing which characters to unlock to complete free play. Thanks for including that.
Posted by PrimeBigTime on 31 Dec 12 at 02:29
DecadentBeaverWell, I have rescued all Citizens, Superhero every level, collected them all around Gotham and done all the vehicle races. I have 3 left for the Mini kits, but I'm at 246 gold bricks. I've even done the bonus level. I've scanned my map several times, and nothing is showing up. Anyone got a clue where I should look? I really want finish this game as I only have 5 achievements left to get.
Posted by DecadentBeaver on 06 Jan 13 at 17:25
DecadentBeaverNevermind, I found the little blighter. It was hidden under another map marker icon. Remember to check under them icons just in case folks. Great help with this guide by the way.
Posted by DecadentBeaver on 06 Jan 13 at 17:33
CndnVikingSorry but giving this thumbs down because a list of general tips doesn't really constitute a guide, and for somebody like me who seems to have inexplicably come up a couple short, and can't figure out why this doesn't really help.
Posted by CndnViking on 08 Feb 13 at 05:17
WeisGuy9Nice, thanks! Was going crazy looking for the last fucking brick. It was the one for completing the bonus level.
Posted by WeisGuy9 on 26 Jun 13 at 04:23
CormacI had 248 when I'd finished all the levels with minikits and people in peril. They were in gate races on the vehicles I hadn't bought yet.

Just need to figure out the riddle of Catwomans motorbike appearing and I'll have 100% completion.
Posted by Cormac on 07 Sep 13 at 18:54
WeisGuy9The map marker shows it to be on top of a building, but it's not there. It's actually sitting on the ground in an alley just near that building.
Posted by WeisGuy9 on 07 Sep 13 at 22:54
HolyHalfDeadAquaman can also be used instead of Robin's Hazard Suit to get underwater gold bricks.

It also helps to unlock Mister Freeze to get the gold bricks that require Robin's Ice Suit.

As NinjaDave04 points out, you must also ride the Polar Bear at the zoo.

Mouth 420finished everything at 248 did races and all that no markers for gold bricks all around the map i mean i flew for 2 hours straight
Posted by Mouth 420 on 08 Feb 20 at 05:52
FemmeFatality13For anyone who may return to this game, or are just playing it now (because it does go on sale fairly often), if you find you are missing gold bricks, go to the Batcave and use the vehicle spawners to check if you have all the vehicles in each category. I was stuck at 249 FOREVER it felt like, and it turned out I was missing the micro whatever it’s called (it’s in the airplane group & it’s a jet pack type contraption). Once I located and purchased it, my last yellow dot finally appeared, allowing me to complete the race and get that last gold brick 😊

JMJimmyMr. Freeze allows you to bypass the freeze cannon Robin tasks
