Understanding Riddler's Challenge Rooms
In Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, the Riddler has peppered Gotham with his signature challenges: Puzzle Boxes and the more elaborate Puzzle Rooms. These larger Puzzle Rooms are crucial for unlocking significant rewards and progressing through Riddler's side quests. Finding and solving every one is a badge of honor for any true hero of Gotham.
The journey to tackle these rooms typically begins with the "Riddle Me This" side quest, initiated after an encounter with Cobblepot during the Tricorner Investigation. Commissioner Gordon and Harvey Bullock will point you to the first Puzzle Room, setting the stage for a city-wide scavenger hunt. Each successful completion marks the next room on your map, ensuring a continuous flow of brain-teasing action.
All Riddler Puzzles appear on your map as a Question Mark icon. However, the larger Puzzle Rooms are specifically indicated by a distinct Puzzle Box icon, making them easy to differentiate from smaller challenges.

The first Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight Puzzle Room serves as an introduction to Riddler's unique brand of challenges. Located in Tricorner, this room features a series of mirror puzzles that test your perception.
Mirror Puzzle 1: The Bear
Upon entering, you'll find a room adorned with Riddler-green question marks and three plinths before a mirror. The reflection will show a bear on one of the plinths. Locate the bear nearby in the room and place it on the corresponding plinth to solve this initial segment.
Mirror Puzzle 2: Top Hat, Lamp, Candlestick
Proceed to the next room, which features another mirror and three more plinths. The reflection here will display a Top Hat, a Lamp, and a Candlestick from left to right. Arrange the physical objects in the room to match this reflection precisely.
Mirror Puzzle 3: Lamp, Boombox, Piano
In the third room, the mirror shows a Lamp and a Boombox, with a piano in the background. The Boombox is typically found on a table behind shelves to the left. Use the Lamp from the previous puzzle, then locate a handle to lower the piano. Once these elements are correctly positioned, you can collect the Riddler Puzzle Box.
