LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy Hints

Can you give me some tips for the Character Bonus (Bespin)?

  • 1 of 7: First, you may want to read the general hints for character bonus levels, if you haven't already played one of these.  The rest of the hints that follow here will give you one way that I was able to play through this bonus level fairly consistently.
  • 2 of 7: This level is composed of a few platforms that are separated by bridges.  Many of the bridges may be retracted when you start the level, but standing on red buttons on one and only side of the bridge will extend the bridge for you if you need to cross.
  • 3 of 7: I preferred to play this level as Boba Fett, and started by going down all the way to the bottom of the screen.  Shoot out some of the crates and fences on your way down, but don't spend too much time on these.  Instead, head down as far as you can go.
  • 4 of 7: You should see a shiny metal object in the center of the platform.  Blow it up with a thermal detonator -- and remember that you can trigger the detonator by pressing the "throw" button again after it's on its target.
  • 5 of 7: Take care of some of the enemies before proceeding over to the left.  Throwing a detonator into a crowd is always a quick way to clear them out, or else you can switch to a Jedi character and do a double-jump and strike instead.
  • 6 of 7: When you're one platform over to the left, there should be another shiny metal object.  Detonate this one also to get its studs, and take a little time shooting enemies, crates, and fences.  You may even head a little bit down the walkway to the left to pick up some more crates, but don't spend too much time.  That's because the metal object back on the platform to the right will regenerate in just a few seconds.
  • 7 of 7: Repeat going back and forth between these two platforms, and you should be in fairly good shape if you don't get killed too too much.
