LEGO DC Super Villains has a gigantic character roster packed full of iconic DC Comics heroes and villains - in fact there are around 165 of them to unlock, not counting custom characters! And out of these, LEGO DC Super Villains Red Hood could be the most surprisingly difficult to unlock.

We'll show you exactly how to get Red Hood in LEGO DC Super Villains, all the steps you'll need to do, where you'll need to go, and unlock Red Hood!

How to Unlock LEGO DC Super Villains Red Hood

Jason Tood, aka Red Hood - as best seen in the movie Batman: Under The Red Hood or Batman: Arkham Knight - can be unlocked at any point in the game, but he requires several steps before you can get him - and none of them are made clear. You have to unlock another character first, and even he needs a specific step to find - and doesn't appear on the map.

While Gold Bricks don't have much use in the game, you'll need to get one as a first step. Head to the map point above, in the Crime Alley part of Gotham City, just above Ace Chemicals on the map. Just in the rooftops you'll find a wall that can be graffiti-tagged and destroyed. Change to Joker or someone with explosive spraypaint and blow up the wall, and just beyond this you'll find a new villain.

This is The Shade. Complete his mission by finding and talking to nearby goons - they appear on the map, use a flying character like Starfire to make it easy. Once you've talked to them all, go back to Shade and answer his questions. This will unlock him, but also add a new boss fight to the map. Oh, you'll get attacked by ninjas, by the way.

The boss fight is on top of the Iceberg Lounge, which is directly south of your position. Fly up there with Starfire, Superman, or another flying character, and you'll meet the boss of Ace Chemicals island - Red Hood! Simply beat him in battle - he'll be similar to the Nightwing boss fight from the game's second story mission, which coincidentally took place inside the Iceberg Lounge. Defeat him, and you'll be able to buy Red Hood from the character list for just 10,000 studs. Congratulations, you've unlocked Red Hood for play!

Here's where to get Jessica Cruz Green Lantern, a flying/Lantern character who's also available in the open world. Or, if you just want to cheat characters, here's how to unlock them with codes.
