Welcome to LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2! The much anticipated sequel to 2013's highly acclaimed LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. Kang the Conquerer has manipulated time and space itself by taking cities and monuments from different eras of time, sticking them together to create a whole new world under his rule known as Chronopolis! You will team with Earth's..and time's...mightiest heroes to retrieve the nexus fragments, put a stop to Kang's evil rule, and return the cities and their people back to their rightful place in history.
If you're a veteran of the LEGO franchise, there isn't much in the way of surprises here...it's your standard affair. However, this is one of the largest LEGO games made to date and there's no shortage of missions or activities in this one, therefore you'll notice the time requirement is a bit more beefy than your average LEGO game. There's nothing really difficult here; the difficulty rating comes due mainly to some poor controls when it comes to racing and flying - you'll find yourself having to repeat tasks due to this. Other than that, this game features a ton of characters but a good chunk of them are some of the most obscure from the Marvel Universe.
Note 1: Some people have reported the races, which give you character cards, glitching on them when they used cheats to unlock characters early. You already have the character card required for that race, so the race will think it was completed and not count. It's HIGHLY advised to avoid cheats.
Note 2: There are reports that having the DLC installed before obtaining the Platinum will make it so the True Believer status, Stan Lee in Peril, Mini Kits and Gold Bricks for each DLC will also be required in order to Platinum the main game. This is due to the main game changing the total count of these to a higher number to reflect what you get from the DLC. It is HIGHLY advised you hold off on installing the DLC until after you obtain the Platinum, otherwise your play time will increase even more.
Step 1: Complete the Story Levels
Like most LEGO games, it's advised just playing the story first and getting it out of the way to unlock Free Play and activities in Chronopolis. You will receive a trophy per story level and another for completing all 20 levels.
Trophies You'll Earn:
404: Xandar Not Found
No More Tomorrows
None Shall Pass

Step 2: Replay Story Missions in Free Play, gathering all collectibles.
Now that you have unlocked Free Play, it's time to replay each level getting all the mini kits, Stan Lee's in Peril, True Believer Status and the hidden Character Card. Which will also net you 4 Gold Bricks per level. Once this is complete you should have all 200 Minikits. You'll then need to go to the Avengers Mansion to look at all 20 comics.
Trophy You'll Earn:
Comic Book Collector
Step 3: Complete Gwenpool Missions
This can be combined with Step 4, but it would help to get it out of the way first. You have to unlock certain characters in the HUB world in order to access Gwenpool's missions, so I advise getting those done before anything else.
Aim to get True Believer status in these missions to finish up that trophy.
Trophy You'll Earn:
Don't Stop, Believer
Step 4: Complete All activities and Challenges in Chronopolis.
At this point there's nothing left to do but all the other HUB activities: Missions, Puzzles, Races and all 25 challenges.

Introduction:
There were a total of six DLC packs released for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, all of which were included in the season pass, or put up for purchase separately. Some of them exist to tie into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and others to highlight more obscure characters from Marvel canon.
These story levels are much more like the Gwenpool levels from the base game; they're all really short. Which is good, because each level requires two full playthroughs – one to unlock Free Play, and one to get all of the Minikits (you must finish the level for those trophies to pop; using save/exit will not work).
To access the levels, press , then tab over to Extras, and you will see a list of all the DLC episodes.
Walkthrough:
Step 0: Platinum the base game first, without installing the DLC
Optional, but ultimately less work. Installing the DLC levels while you're still working on the base game will increase the count for required characters, gold bricks, Stan Lees, Minikits, and True Believers needed for those specific trophies as well as the 100%. You'll need to get all Minikits and True Believers in each DLC for trophies anyways, but getting all gold bricks, purchasing extra characters and rescuing Stan Lees in the DLC are completely optional.
At the very least, make sure you've finished the base game's story mode, so you'll have access to all the characters needed to gather all the DLC minikits in Free Play.
Step 1: Pick a level and play through both Story Mode and Free Play (while collecting all Minikits and getting True Believer)
Generally with LEGO games, it is more efficient to play through all the levels in Story Mode, then go back and play through them all again in Free Play. With these DLC levels, it's quicker to play through and 100% each level before moving on to the next.
Each level has a True Avenger status you must reach; the majority of these cannot be reached without at least the x2 stud multiplier Red Brick so make sure you have at least one of the stud multipliers unlocked from the main game and don't forget to turn it on.
During Story Mode, you will be able to collect one or two Minikits but the rest are only unlockable during Free Play.
By the end of this step, you will have earned:
The Galaxy Won't Save Itself
You Wanna Buy Some Minikits?
I did it because I wanted to
A Great Rescue, Or Only A Drill?
All Of Them? Are You Shur-i?
Hero. Legend. King.
Only the Beginning...

Ain't Just Chicken Feed
Step 2: Miscellaneous Cleanup
Each DLC has two miscellanous trophies. Some of them can be obtained during your initial playthrough of the level, if you kept an eye on the list. Otherwise, quickly load up the stage (most of them are stage-specific) and unlock them.
By the end of this step, you will have earned:
Happy Roots
Thousands of units a piece
Me Tarleton, You Jayne
You Cannot Be Rhino-Serious!
A Double Negative
Double Edged Dagger
Tougher Than She Looks...
Shades of The Gibborim
