To get a boat in LEGO City, you need to advance through the main story until you reach Chapter 7, specifically the mission called "One Small Job for Chan." This pivotal mission is where you will unlock access to boats for use across the city's waterways.
Unlocking Boats in LEGO City
Accessing boats in LEGO City is a straightforward process tied directly to your progression in the game's story mode. Once unlocked, boats provide an excellent way to explore the expansive city and reach various islands and hidden areas.
The Key Mission: One Small Job for Chan
The ability to use boats becomes available during Chapter 7 of the main storyline. In this chapter, you will embark on a mission titled "One Small Job for Chan."
Here’s a breakdown of how it unfolds:
- Chan's Call: At a certain point in Chapter 7, the character Chan will contact you.
- Meet at Crescent Park Wharf: Chan will request your presence at the Crescent Park Wharf. This is a crucial location for unlocking your aquatic transport.
- Automatic Unlock: Upon arriving at the Crescent Park Wharf as part of this mission, boats will automatically be unlocked for your use throughout LEGO City. You don't need to purchase them or complete any complex mini-games at this stage.
Your First Boat Experience
During this very mission, after unlocking boats, you'll get to use one immediately:
- Locate the Boat: You'll be instructed to hop into a boat, typically found to the right at the wharf.
- Follow the Path: You'll then follow a green-studded path in the water, which will guide you directly to Apollo Island as part of the mission objectives.
Why Boats are Essential
Once unlocked, boats become an invaluable mode of transport in LEGO City. They allow you to:
- Explore Waterways: Navigate rivers, lakes, and the ocean surrounding the city.
- Access New Areas: Reach islands and areas that are otherwise inaccessible by land vehicles or on foot.
