To complete the Dodgeball challenge in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Foam Spray an enemy into a ball and use them to attack by punching them into other enemies. This challenge rewards you with 5,000 Studs upon completion.
Dodgeball Challenge Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Unlock and Select Jim Gordon
Make sure you’ve unlocked Jim Gordon in your character roster. He’s typically available after progressing through early story missions. Select him before entering a combat trial or free-roam area with multiple enemies.
Step 2: Locate the Foam Sprayer Gadget
Jim Gordon’s signature gadget is the Foam Sprayer. Equipped by default when playing as him. You’ll need this to turn enemies into foam balls so make sure to upgrade it.
Step 3: Find a Combat Area with Multiple Enemies
Head to any combat trial or open area in Gotham with at least 2-3 enemies. Early story missions like Chapter 1: The Red Hood Gang work well, or you can enter any Combat Trial in the Batcave.
Step 4: Foam Spray the Target Enemy
Approach an enemy and use Jim Gordon’s Foam Sprayer (gadget button: R2/RT/ZR depending on platform) to cover them in foam.
Make sure to hit their head enough times to turn them into a rollable ball.
Step 5: Punch the Foam Ball into Other Enemies
Once the enemy is a foam ball, punch them (attack button: Square/X) to roll them into other enemies.
The foam ball enemy must hit at least one other enemy to complete the challenge.
Critical Mistakes to Avoid
-
Wrong character: Only Jim Gordon has the Foam Sprayer. Don’t try this as Batman or Robin.
-
Not enough enemies: You need multiple enemies in the area. If there’s only one, the challenge can’t complete.
-
Letting the foam wear off: Act quickly after foam spraying—the effect may be temporary.
-
Missing the hit: Make sure the foam ball actually contacts another enemy. Rolling them into walls doesn’t count.
-
Taking damage before completing: Keep your combo going and dodge attacks to avoid losing the opportunity.
Tips for Faster Completion
-
Play on easier difficulty to avoid losing health during combat
-
Use combat trials that respawn enemies so you can retry if you miss
-
Upgrade Jim Gordon’s gadgets at the WayneTech Workbench in the Batcave for better foam range
-
Stay mobile and dodge enemy attacks (Circle/B/A) to maintain your position
The Dodgeball challenge is one of 43 Batcave challenges accessible from the Batcave menu after expanding it. You can attempt it anytime once you’ve unlocked Jim Gordon.
