What to know
- There are 5 Venus Fly Trap collectibles hidden throughout the Botanical Gardens mission.
- Most traps are tied to main story progression areas, so you cannot miss them permanently.
- A few collectibles are placed near pink-lit environmental objects and puzzle sections.
- Destroying all Venus Fly Traps helps with mission completion progress and collectible tracking.
The Botanical Gardens mission in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight contains several hidden Venus Fly Trap collectibles spread across different puzzle sections and combat arenas. Some are easy to overlook because they blend into the environment, especially around the glowing pink botanical structures and elevated platforms. If you are aiming for full mission completion, finding all five during a single run saves a lot of replay time later.
Botanical Gardens mission all Venus Flytrap locations
| Collectible | Area | Landmark | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Venus Fly Trap #1 | Entrance Area | Raised platform on the right | Basic exploration |
| Venus Fly Trap #2 | Investigation Section | Behind pink-lit pots | Story progression |
| Venus Fly Trap #3 | Before Floating Puzzle | Between two pink pots | Exploration |

The Venus Fly Traps are spread naturally across the full Botanical Gardens level layout. You begin near the compound entrance before moving deeper into investigation sections filled with glowing plant life and environmental puzzles. Later areas introduce floating platform mechanics and laboratory structures where the final collectible becomes available after unlocking the lawnmower truck interaction.
1st Venus Flytrap location
As soon as you enter the Botanical Gardens compound, move toward the right side of the opening area. You will notice a slightly elevated platform overlooking the entrance section.
Climb or jump onto the raised platform to spot the first Venus Fly Trap collectible waiting near the edge. This one is very easy to miss if you immediately continue toward the main objective marker.
2nd Venus Flytrap location
Progress into the second major area of the Botanical Gardens where the investigation mechanics begin.
Look closely around the glowing pink-lit pots positioned near the investigation route. Behind these illuminated containers, you will find the second Venus Fly Trap hidden against the big green door.
3rd Venus Flytrap location
Continue through the mission until you approach the floating puzzle section.
Before interacting with the puzzle itself, inspect the area between two pink pots nearby. The third Venus Fly Trap is tucked directly between them and can easily blend in with the surrounding foliage.
4th Venus Flytrap location
Use the grapple point to access the floating puzzle platforms in the Botanical Gardens.
Move toward the middle platform during the puzzle sequence. Before climbing up the next ledge, check the right-hand corner carefully.
The fourth Venus Fly Trap is positioned near the edge of the platform and becomes visible once you approach the corner.
5th Venus Flytrap location
Advance until you unlock access to the lawnmower truck section near the laboratory structures.
Drive the lawnmower truck toward the green plant growth located below the laboratory board or sign.
Destroy the overgrown vegetation to reveal the fifth and final Venus Fly Trap collectible hidden underneath.
Venus Fly Trap collectible rewards
| Total Found | Result |
|---|---|
| 1–4 Collectibles | Partial collectible progress |
| All 5 Collectibles | Full Venus Fly Trap completion for the mission |
| 100% Mission Progress Route | Helps toward overall completion tracking |
The Botanical Gardens mission heavily rewards slow exploration instead of rushing directly through objectives. Most Venus Fly Traps are positioned near environmental clues like glowing pink props, raised corners, or puzzle transition points. Keeping an eye on the edges of each area makes these collectibles much easier to spot during your first run.
Finding all five Venus Fly Traps in the Botanical Gardens mission is fairly straightforward once you know the exact progression points where each collectible appears. The floating puzzle area and the final laboratory section are the easiest places to accidentally skip collectibles, so revisiting those carefully is important if you are aiming for full completion in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.
