In LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, you will have to solve the Pattern Recon-ition Riddler puzzle by hitting the top-left, top-right, and middle targets with Batman’s Batarang. The puzzle hint is revealed upside-down on a wall using UV Vision.
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Locate the Puzzle
Head to Old Gotham South’s eastern shoreline, specifically the enclosed alley near The Kozy Korner building.
The Riddler question mark will appear on your map once you activate the Old Gotham South tower.
Step 2: Use UV Vision to Find the Hint
Walk up to the paint cans in front of the Riddler puzzle box and activate Batman’s UV Vision (UV Goggles).
This reveals invisible UV traces leading to a hidden mural on a nearby wall.
Step 3: Decode the Upside-Down Pattern
The UV mural shows which targets to hit — but it’s upside down.
When you flip it mentally:
-
The first target (leftmost on top row) → top-left
-
The third target (rightmost on top row) → top-right
-
The second target (middle on middle row) → center/middle
Step 4: Hit the Three Targets
Return to the puzzle box and use Batman’s Batarang (or any projectile) to hit these targets in any order:
Once all three targets are hit correctly, the Riddler Trophy cage unlocks. Collect the Riddler Puzzle Box and 500 Silver Studs.
Critical Mistakes to Avoid
-
Don’t hit the wrong targets — Many players hit all top targets or the center three. Only hit top-left, top-right, and middle-center
-
Don’t forget UV Vision — The pattern won’t be visible without activating UV goggles on the paint cans first
-
Don’t get confused by the upside-down hint — The mural is intentionally inverted; mentally flip it to match the actual target layout
-
Don’t worry about order — You can hit the three targets in any sequence; only the correct targets matter
Pattern Recon-ition is one of the simpler UV-based puzzles in Old Gotham South. Once you spot the upside-down mural, the solution becomes obvious.
