One of the new additions in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is level challenges. They are available in each of the game’s nine playable film levels. Each of the films is broken down into five different levels with three challenges in each for a total of 135 different challenges. There are a ton of varieties in these challenges such as completing a level without dying, completing a level in a certain time limit, force throw a certain number of items, etc. Completing these challenges will earn you one of the game’s 1,166 listed Kyber bricks (gold bricks in previous games). You’ll need to complete all three challenges in the level to earn the brick, which makes it even more difficult.

What makes it harder is that you don’t know what the challenges are at the beginning of the level as they are all locked. You’ll need to use studs to unlock what are called “rumors” in order to get the clue. Of course, once you complete the level you will be able to see what they are for all future re-visits to the level.

To save you the time, we put together a list of each challenge in the levels and how to unlock them via their corresponding rumor. Hopefully, this helps you all out. Check them out below.

Hopefully these help you out. Many of them sound easy but require a lot of precision. For example, flying through the legs of an AT-AT sounded easy, but I died about 8 times before I was able to do it. The trick is to wait until it has stopped moving. Now, the game doesn’t tell you this so it’s something you would have learned the hard way like me if we weren’t here to help you out.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is available beginning today on PC, Xbox Series S/X, PS4/5 and Switch. Our review will be up soon. In the meantime, let us know what other guides you would like to see and we’ll do our best to help you out!
