A Poisonous Appointment - LEGO Batman Guide - IGN (2024)

The beginning garden plays host to an abundance of stud-yielding vegetation and environmental objects. For one thing, plant the seeds in the first patch of garden to grow enormous carrots in the ground, out of which—after a good bashing—pops a LEGO canister. Well, whaddya know!

Underneath the wild growth of vegetation are LEGO pieces, which fully assemble in to a tractor. Ride the tractor around, razing the plants and lamp posts for extra goodies. Assemble the various spare LEGO pieces lying about to form a sprinkler, which fixes the tractor, and a suit changer. The suit changer outfits Batman with the snazzy Sonic Suit, which allows Batman to shatter glass walls with sonic waves. There also just happens to be a glass door blocking the way in to the next area. Try the suit out!

As expected of a greenhouse, the interior is decorated with an assortment of plants, some of which just so happen to be blocking your way. Use the Sonic Suit on the glass feeders to stop nutrient flow to the plants, making them wither away and out of your way. Further in, you will find more tall plants blocking passage into an enclosure. Follow the feed tubes to the source and smash them. One of the feeders is located behind a large glass wall. Smash through it and the feeder, freeing the hostage in the process. All in a day's work.

Once the plants have crumbled, smash up everything in the enclosure to scatter LEGO pieces across the floor. Piece these together to create a suit changer for Robin's Attract Suit. This suit equips Robin with a vacuum that sucks up loose LEGO pieces on the ground. A counter keeping track of how many LEGO pieces have been sucked up so far sits on Robin's back. Collect 25 LEGO pieces and deposit them at the Attracto machine near the vicious-looking Venus fly trap.

Mow the plants in the nearby and assemble the LEGO pieces to form a potted plant with fanned out leaves. These leaves provide extra bounce that can launch you to the bar on the wall and to the floating LEGO canister.

The cleared path takes you to a cavern. Batarang the obstruction on the ladder and cross the ledge to the other side. Some hot LEGOs bounce innocently on the ground; do not attempt to piece them together, as they are hot and touching them without proper protection hurts you. Thankfully, next to them is also a suit changer for the Heat Protection Suit.

When the green lid of the pipe closes, use it to hop safely across. Have Batman cross to the red hot area to create a zipline for both parties to exit unscathed.

The laboratory room features another Attracto machine. Leave no furniture unturned, no stone unfurled to gather the required 25 pieces to open the door to the right. Before heading through, move toward the bottom of the screen and jump onto the red, horizontal pipelines to the corner to grab a LEGO canister.

A large pool of toxic sludge confines you to a small area of free-roaming space. Head to the back and rummage through the cabinets for extra LEGO pieces, which magically form into flowers. Hop on these flowers to cause flower pads to spurt from the toxic sludge and act as stepping stones across the virulent goop. Hop across, without neglecting the lonely LEGO canister in the small alcove, and create a crank from the LEGO pieces. Turn the crank to open the door.

Poison Ivy has the advantage being on her home turf, but no matter! The battle begins with Ivy resting within the protection of her giant plant friends. The trick to beating her is to spot the LEGO pieces lying in front of the left-most plant and fashion them into a bomb, which eventually explodes and forces Ivy out of the dying plant. Ivy migrates in to the mouth of the second plant. Same pattern repeats.

Meanwhile, endless waves of green henchmen spawn from the ground. They can get a little annoying if not taken cared of. Once all three of her plant friends are no longer, go ahead and beat the living snot out of her. Don't feel bad. She's not really a woman.
