How to Earn Kyber Bricks
Collect Kyber Bricks by completing the required tasks during the Hoth and Cold stage.
True Jedi Status
To earn True Jedi status, collect as many LEGO studs as possible during the mission. Focus on shooting and destroying all objects to maximize your stud count. Revisit previously collected Minikit locations, as these now reward purple studs. Filling all stud level bars (white, blue, and purple) unlocks three Kyber Bricks.
Story Completion Rewards
Complete the story mission, collect all Minikits, and finish all Challenges to earn three additional Kyber Bricks.
How to Get the Minikits
Below is a step-by-step guide to finding all five Minikits in Hoth and Cold.
Minikit 1 – Snow Friends of Mine
Destroy five snowmen scattered across Hoth. The snowmen can be found:
1 – At the southern base of the mountain with the large turret.
2 – Near the base of the southern antenna.
3 – By the gate of the abandoned station in the east.
4 – Next to the eastern antenna (features a snow-Vader).
5 – Across the bridge near the northern antenna.
Minikit 2 – Meltdown
Board the ship in the northern area to shoot the bridge leading to the antenna. While the ship moves, shoot constantly to melt the ice block containing the Minikit.
Minikit 3 – Chain Reaction
Locate the large round box in the southern part of the map near four antennas. Adjust the antenna beams to form a continuous line aimed at the box. Pull the lever on one antenna to trigger an explosion, awarding you the Minikit.
Minikit 4 – Repurpose and Reuse
Near the abandoned station in the east, find an orange container beside the antenna. Use the energy cell from the nearby probe on this container instead of the antenna to claim your Minikit.
Minikit 5 – Up to Snow Good
Shoot down the Probe Droid flying in circles at the center of the map to secure another Minikit.
How to Complete the Challenges
Follow this guide to complete the three Challenges in Hoth and Cold.
Challenge 1 – Avoid the Droid!
“Shoot 5 probe droids out of the air without them spotting you first.”
Shoot five Probe Droids without being detected. Look for the red detection circles around the antennas and fire before entering their range.
Challenge 2 – Not a Probe-lem
“Shoot 1 probe droid out of the air without them spotting you first.”
Shoot one Probe Droid undetected. Complete Avoid the Droid! first for easy progression.
Challenge 3 – That’s Not Going to Buff Out…
“Find and use all 5 zipwires.”
Find and use all five zipwires across the map. Each antenna has one zipwire at the top, and two additional zipwires are in the southern area. These include one from the round turret and another from the small center island to the middle of the map.
