The Battlefield is the second part of Level 7, continuing right as you reach the Temple of the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon. Here, we learn some LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game backstory, filling us in on Lord Garmadon’s past with Lloyd’s mother Lady Iron Dragon. The pair were a formidable team, trashing two evil armies all at the same time.
It’s a pretty lengthy level, with multiple (very simple) boss battles to break up the action. You’ll defeat swarms of skeletons and snakes, destroy their siege equipment, and raid a massive castle, all while wooing the heart of Lady Iron Dragon. Lord Garmadon doesn’t seem like such a bad guy in this level, but that all changes soon. We’re almost at the end. This is the penultimate level in The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game, so prepare for the epilogue next time.

Level 8 is really the second part of Level 7 — it transitions immediately into the battlefield flashback once the team reaches the Temple of the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon.
Chapter 13: The Battlefield
No, the chapter isn’t over yet! Instead, we’re learning how Lord Garmdon met Lloyd’s mother, Lady Iron Dragon. You’ll want to destroy all three pieces of siege equipment in the area – let’s start with the double-headed dragon cart directly behind our starting spot.
Break the Warlord LEGO object with Lord Garmadon and build the pieces into a firework. Hop on the pad to launch and signal your catapult to destroy the first piece of siege equipment. The second piece of equipment are two launchers. Defeat the minions and destroy the Warlord LEGO object. Launch the rocket and these two devices are destroyed.
The ram is the last one. You know what to do! Just defeat the skeletons, smash the Warlord object and launch the fireworks to blast the final piece of equipment. The evil army isn’t about to give up, though – multiple waves of enemies will appear. First four, then eight, then a big bad boss.
BOSS: Captain Oraku
The snake boss fights pretty much like any other minifigure boss we’ve encountered so far. He’s not so tough at all. Dodge when he spins at you, then attack while he’s stunned. A single combo should be enough to take this snake bad guy boss down.
When the boss is defeated, build the hopping bricks on both sides of the center siege tower. That launches the tower, creating a bridge out of the crater. Cross your new makeshift bridge and run through the trench, turning right at the end. More enemies will pop up, and the LEGO gates will fly open after a short scene.
Go up to the castle wall. The gate here will slam shut, but Lady Iron Dragon has a plan to get inside. Climb the vertical wall run surface and reach the catapult platform! Turn the wheel to aim toward the gate, then use Lord Garmadon on the Warlord panel to blast open the gate.
BOSS: Sergeant Mazu
On the other side of the busted gate, you’ll find a squad of skeletons that lead to another boss battle. This boney boss is just like the last guy we fought. Dodge his spin attack and strike while he’s stunned to end the fight.
Beating the boss launches a rocket into the blocked gate. Now you can run through the cleared debris and reach the upper ledge with all the launchers. Defeat the gang of snakes up here and swap to Lady Iron Dragon to shoot the target. Build the hopping bricks and hop onto the dragon device to launch fireworks into the tower, totally wrecking the wall.
But, how to get inside? See that giant crossbow? Build the hopping bricks near the LEGO crossbow and pull the Warlord panel to fire a rope into the tower. Now you can cross the gap and reach the ruined tower to actually enter the main keep. On the walls, get through the wall of Skeleton Warriors by pulling down the chandelier above them. Use the grapple point!
Ahead, you’ll get a quick view of the boss at the top of the castle. To reach him, build the hopping bricks at the gate, use the Warlord Panel to raise the lift, then swap to Lady Iron Dragon to shoot the target that’s visible through the broken LEGO wall. That’ll drop the lift, giving you a vertical wall run passage up to the top of the keep.
BOSS: General Shen
The General attacks with a giant hammer instead of a spin attack. Watch out when his attack charges, and dodge before it lands. The impact creates an energy explosion! Dodge away, and he’ll get his hammer stuck in the floor after every attack, leaving him vulnerable.
The General also spawns several long-range minions to help him. Defeat those guys first, then you can focus on bringing down General Shen.
