Time-Twist Back to the Battle Of Nimbus Station

Copied from the Lego Universe Patcher

On February 23rd, you get the chance to go back in time and battle for Nimbus Station. The battle will be almost like a Survival Minigame, with four players to a team. However, there will 30 waves of Maelstrom, each harder than the next, so expect some tougher enemies. If you are looking for some gear to make the battle a little easier, it is recommended that you go to Crux Prime and stock up on some weapons or consumables.

2D Rockets



2D Rockets!

 While exploring around the edge of the Universe, I came across 2D rockets that are apparently the ones that you see zooming across the sky in Nimbus Station. They are created randomly at certain points around the border of Nimbus Station

The Battle Of Crux Prime has Begun!

Ready for the battle of Crux Prime? Hopefully you are because there are a lot of great rewards waiting for you there. Some of the most coveted are the heroic trident of lightning (3+3+4) and the spike hammer (3+4+4). You can also learn the art of Spinjitzu and battle the mighty skeletons at the quarry. There is also a new part of the storyline awaiting for you there. Have fun exploring all of the new, exciting, and dangerous areas! Make sure to pick up some rares while you're at it too!

Lego Universe Flag Locations (Avant Gardens)

A guide to where all the flags are in Avant Gardens:

1. Behind the landing pad when you first enter Avant Gardens.
2. By the Paradox Research Facility. Close to where the broken robot is lying.
3. In the corner of a destroyed building. The building is in a little battle area to the left and behind of Epsilon Starcracker.
4. This flag is in the Spiderling's nest behind one of the rocks by the fog.
5. On one of the ledges near the green path on the monument. Try running up the entire green path and you will find it. It's in plain sight.
6. This one is a little trickier. Near the green path jump pad, look around until you see a smashable wall in the monument. Jump on the tallest step closest to you and jump to the ledge that its on, then smash the wall.
7. Take the yellow path until you get to the minifigures head, then go along his right arm (the one with the sword) until you get to his hand. The flag will be there.
8. To get this flag, all you need to do is go along the orange path until you collect the flag in midair.
9. By the orange caution posts at the end of the road near the finish line of the monument.
10. The last one is behind the monkey sitting on the table. The monkey is in the launch zone that takes you to Nimbus Station.

Quick Money Making Tips for Lego Universe

Here is a list of the top fastest ways to make some big money in Lego Universe. The Red Imaginite one has been deleted because the developers decided to change the game economy a while back. Sorry for any inconvenience this has made. I am not responsible for making you lose coins while in the process of doing one of the suggestions. You are taking a risk by using these methods.

Enjoy!

1. Smashing Named Enemies

Roo Morgg used to be a great spot to collect rares and sell them later. You can still do that, although it will take a lot more time. The developers have drastically changed the chance of getting rares from Roo Morgg, making it much harder. The spot is still excellent for gathering coins dropped by Roo Morgg. The ape usually drops between 400-500 coins per smash, and this can really add up over a while.

2. Smashing Stromling Apes
Stromling Apes are currently only found in the Gnarled Forest, although with the release of Crux Prime tomorrow (YAY!) you can also find more powerful versions of them there. By just quick building the anchor that lies near them, you can gain up to 300 coins per ape. This also leads to a series of achievements that can eventually get you the ultimate weapon in Lego Universe. The Elite Force Blade Of Lightning!

3. Selling/Trading rare items
If you have found a rare item that you don't think you need, or maybe even an elite weapon, you can get other people to pay a way over the top price for it. There have been elites that were sold for over 15,000 coins. Also, items like the santa beard and the king's crown, have gone for 25,000. So if you are the lucky type of person who can get lots of rare items but doesn't really need them, try selling them to somebody else who take it.

Until The End-LUMV

I have recreated this video from an orginal trailer of mine because I never even started to work on what I made the trailer for. So please just enjoy this video, its not for anything special. You can even take the storyline that I have here and turn it into something bigger. My original storyline was going to be this:

After the huge battle at Crux Prime, all of the factions had been destroyed. Then, two new minfigures entered the Lego Universe by some accident in space time and get caught up in the adventures of the new maelstrom dominated universe. They must be brave enough to fight and destroy an entire Universe of maelstrom and bring back the original imagination crystal.

For best video experience, hit the play button and then pause. Try to wait until the light red bar reaches at least halfway across the video screen, then hit play again. The video should not freeze.

How to Survive in Survival

Ever wondered how to get a good survival time? Here is a good tip that will add at least 1 minute and 30 seconds to your time. There is an area where you are safe from stromlings until the robots come along. Watch the video for a visual explanation.

NOTE:
If the video freezes, pause it and wait for maybe 20-25 seconds. If that still does not work, your web browser may not have a fast enough connection.

Starbase 3001 Space Jump

There are no images depicting this glitch

This glitch takes place in Starbase 3001 and allows you to be launched extremely high into space. To do this, you must have a ninja gi. Wear it and then double jump onto the air boosters. Once you double jump, attack in mid air and you will go down for a few seconds then recoil back up. The recoil is so strong that you you break through the ceiling of Starbase and continue upwards until you can no longer see it.

Note:

The recent status of this glitch is: Fixed

You will no longer be able to do this glitch.

The Edge of the Universe

"The Edge of the Universe" otherwise known as "where the developers stopped developing" is a glitch area that lies around the main Nimbus Station world. A little after the first launch of Lego Universe they closed this area down but there may still be ways to get there. The orginal way was to climb on top of the cliff area on the way to the Forbidden Valley launch pad and continue walking until you got to the edge. Above is a picture of me standing there.
