Add the first question. Review this title » Contribute to This PageArriving in LEGO Universe's charming, chunky, sparkling world, the game's message is pretty heartening. Here, it says, you are as powerful as your own imagination! It is your imagination that will protect you, your imagination which will take you on an adventure � and with enough imagination, you might just save the galaxy. It's true, you know. That's because "Imagination" is, in fact, what LEGO Universe calls mana. Your character has an imagination bar, and your paltry supply of imagination is used whenever your character reaches something they can build in the world. You see a jumble of bricks, hold down a button, and your character flicks it all into a bridge, or a turret, or a launchpad, and it disintegrates after you've used it.
No actual imagination is required. If LEGO Universe teaches kids a lesson, it's that imagination is something to be hoarded while you steadily try to max it out, which is no kind of a lesson at all. I maxed out my imagination once in Amsterdam and it was unpleasant for all involved. Outside of this one-button object assembly, LEGO Universe is a fairly standard lite MMO. You explore, batter monsters, operate out of a big hub city (here called Nimbus Station), complete missions, eventually pick a class and sometimes mess around with mini-games, and all of it earns you precious collectible collectibles. Being an MMO, LEGO Universe needs a world on the brink of chaos, and this is handled deftly. The story goes that years ago, a team of LEGO explorers located a source of pure Imagination (manifested in the opening cut-scene as a stream of mystical blue light). Whatever the explorers imagined would pop into existence. But one of the team was evil! Yes he was, and he imagined an army that would let him conquer the galaxy, but was unable to control the subsequent surge of evil into the universe.
Now, alas, the LEGO dimension has become an unstable and dangerous place. Aggressive purple creatures called Stromlings roam, waiting to be battered into their component loot, and a legion of little NPCs wave tiny claw hands in the air, eager to clog up your quest log. One of LEGO Universe's bigger departures from the formula is that it doesn't actually have levels, and its character progression is so slow and basic that you could compare it to sitting on a broken Stannah Stairlift. Instead, the game lets you devote yourself to ticking off achievements, collecting thousands of different types of bricks and finding all kinds of secrets and cubbyholes. Like most of LEGO Universe, progression is stripped down to as basic a framework as developer NetDevil dares in order to make the game accessible to anyone, and it makes up for it with charisma and brightness. But it's not all smiles. Where LEGO Universe first becomes tear-jerkingly disappointing is whenever it lets you actually play with LEGO and create something.
One of the first missions in the game has you building your own custom rocket, a vehicle you then use to travel from place to place by dragging it from your inventory onto various launchpads. You build the rocket out of three segments � the nose, cockpit and engine � of which there are only a few categories (classic, steampunk, space-age). So your options are as follows: (1) Find and use a complete set of segments, or (2) Mix starkly different segments from different categories and ride about on a little LEGO tragedy. My point is that there's no option to actually design or tinker with your rocket, to actually play with LEGO � presumably because then you'd get people travelling everywhere on giant cocks. LEGO Universe is a game so concerned with censorship that your character doesn't even get a name until your suggestion's been approved by a moderator. In trying to make a game that won't offend anyone, NetDevil has made a LEGO game where nobody can play with LEGO.If you’ve been exploring Lego Universe, you know that having the right inventory can be extremely useful.
Prima Games has recently released their Lego Universe strategy guide, and they’ve given us this peek at some items you should have (and how to get them). Take a look to see if you’ve got them all already — the complete guide will have faction guides, detailed maps, tactics to earn LEGO bricks that can be used to Free Build anything, and strategies to unlock every achievement.This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. to report an issue. 10 Lego Universe Items You Should Have To complete the “Musical Repair 1” achievement on Nimbus Station quickbuild all four instruments at the Red Blocks concert, and you’ll earn one of the most useful activatables in the game. Carry around your Boombox and break it out whenever you want to dance around and party. Not only is it fun, but you can pull it out when you’re in a spot without readily available smashables and gain 10 imagination just by dancing around. To complete the “A Licensed Technician” achievement on Nimbus Station quickbuild all four of the concert effects at the front of the stage into the same type at the same time.
You’ll have to hurry before they break apart and reset, so stock up on full imagination before attempting it. If you do manage the feat, you earn the Exceptional Bass Guitar, a very excellent 2/2/2 basic weapon attack. You’ll find the skeleton cage just past Merciless Ned and before Brig Rock in Gnarled Forest. A Stromling Ape likes to guard the area, so be careful when you get close enough to spin this cage. Rotate the cage 25 times and you win the Lego Die activatable item. Roll 100 “6s” with the Lego Die and you earn the Rolling Dice shirt from the “It’s Truly Random” achievement. This 2/3/3 hammer smashes foes hard and smashes certain Maelstrom statues even harder. You need this weapon to smash apart the dragon, mantis, and panda statues in Forbidden Valley, as well as the anvil to reach the master ninja Numb Chuck and the dragon gongs in the Dragon’s Den. Gathermaster Klex rewards you with your choice of Maelstrom Hammer (mantis, panda, dragon, and monkey styles) when you complete his mission to collect the four bricks within the Bell Shrines.
In the Forbidden Valley, Numb Chuck rewards you with your choice of a White Ninja Hood or a Black Ninja Hood, which allow you to pass through the Forbidden Passage barrier and rocket directly back to the Hidden Dojo when accessing a launch pad from Nimbus Station. Both give you +1 Armor Point, +3 Imagination Points, but the black one makes those around you strike a mantis pose, while the white one makes those around you strike a crane pose. Smash the anvil in front of Master Fong with your Maelstrom Hammer and take the quickbuild elevator up to Numb Chuck to put on your Ninja Hood. The ninja style gis turn your hands into weapons of mass destruction, all without an item in hand! Each grants you a formidable melee attack, and all three gis offer slightly different bonuses: the Dragon Style Gi gives +6 Armor, +8 Imagination; the Mantis Style Gi gives +7 Armor, +7 Imagination; and the Panda Style Gi gives +8 Armor, +6 Imagination. Prove yourself to the three master ninjas and Master Fong will award you this super ninja uniform.
Start hacking apart Stromling Pirates in Gnarled Forest if you want this comfy hat. You’ll need to smash 1,125 pirates to earn the “Venture Privateer 3” achievement, which gives you the +1 Armor, +2 Imagination Pirate Captain Hat. The hat also enables you to rocket directly to Pirate Camp if you’re wearing it from Nimbus Station, and it makes your friends dance around you while restoring 3 imagination when you activate it. 8. Shiver Me Timbers Axe Got a ranged weapon to blow up explosive crates without smashing apart yourself? Get busy blowing those crates before they blow someone else up! If you smash 1,125 of them — and that’s a lot of smashing! — you earn the Shiver Me Timbers Axe, a 2/2/2 weapon with a charge-up power that deals light damage but slows an enemy down. If you come up short and only crush 125 explosive crates, you still pick up the 1/1/1 Avast Blast Flintlock Pistol that can fire a 3-damage projectile. 9. Super Scimitar of Rooting Brick Fury destroys any enemy that sets foot or hoof near him in Forbidden Valley.
You’re going to be a busy MiniFigure luring Maelstrom Horseman toward Brick Fury in droves to earn the “Lead the Charge” achievement. Pull 100 Horseman into Brick Fury’s destructive range and you win the Super Scimitar of Rooting, a 2/3/3 weapon with a charge-up power to root enemies in place. A powerful attack with a great ability should sound good to anyone who likes to cut through enemies. What’s the big deal about a white hat? Well, the +3 Armor Points for head gear is a sizeable boost for MiniFigures who like to mix it up in combat a lot. To earn the White Conical Hat, complete Brickmaster Clang’s mission to build three Maelstrom Turrets and block the crypts in Forbidden Valley’s Cavalry Hill. Too bad you don’t get the hat first, because you just might need it against the powerful Maelstrom Horseman swarming Cavalry Hill. The Lego Universe team is also coming out with a series of tutorial videos, the first of which can be seen below: Photos and item descriptions provided by Prima Games.
