LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Hints
How do I get off the surface of the Death Star?
1 of 11: You'll run through several screens, but the basic idea will be the same on each.
2 of 11: At the start of the level, your progress will be blocked by a giant red forcefield.
3 of 11: And just in front of that forcefield is a target in the ground (in the middle) and a glowing purple torpedo dispenser to its left.
4 of 11: Fly over the torpedo dispenser, and one will be added to the back of your X-Wing. You can carry up to 3 torpedoes at once, but you need to fly over the dispenser one time for each torpedo you want to pick up.
5 of 11: Once you have the torpedo(es), you should see that the target in the middle is now overlaid with a set of purple arrows, indicating you can shoot it with the torpedoes.
6 of 11: Press the appropriate key/button to release a torpedo -- it's the same "use" button that does most other things like building and pulling switches -- and the forcefield will be destroyed. You can now continue through the opening.
7 of 11: At various points further along, you should run into more of these forcefields, with physical doors just behind the field.
8 of 11: And you should notice red lines heading away from the doors. For the first set of doors, those lines lead back and a bit to the right.
9 of 11: You'll need to repeat the same basic concept as before. That is, pick up some torpedoes from the nearby dispenser, and then drop them on the targets at the other end of the red lines. There are 4 targets for the door, and you can only carry 3 torpedoes at a time, but keep going back to the dispenser until all 4 targets are destroyed. The forcefield will now drop, and you can shoot the unprotected doors to proceed onto the second screen.
10 of 11: On the second screen, the next forcefield now makes you destroy 8 different targets, in two clusters of 4 each. But again, just follow the red lines back to the targets, and pick up more torpedoes as you need them. One target cluster is near the forcefield and to the left, and the other is back a ways and to the right, behind a little wall of sorts. Once all the targets have been torpedoed, shoot the wall to proceed.
11 of 11: On the third and final screen, you'll need to shoot 8 more targets, but these are all fairly close to the forcefield. Just keep at it until can fly onto the next part of the game.
