LEGO Nexo Knights: Merlok 2.0 Update 1.3.2
LEGO Nexo Knights: Merlok 2.0 Update 1.3.2

LEGO Nexo Knights: Merlok 2.0 has recently released update 1.3.2. The official descriptions of the new contents are:

  • Boost your powers in battle through crafting.
  • Win, collect and craft LEGO studs.
  • New powers and ways to level up await.

What is the meaning of this? This means that Robin's workshop is now online!

On a face value, the new update seems a bit weird, so I searched online for some sort of guide but none seems to be posted yet. I then proceeded to explore the updated game blindly, and here are what I've learned. Remember that I am no pro-gamer, this is just me attempting to make sense of it all.

The update prior to this one allowed us to collect LEGO studs of various types and colors by completing different mission challenges. But it did not tell us what the studs are exactly for. Now it was revealed that the young builder Robin will use these studs to make gems (tada!).

Different studs are required to make different gems. Each gem would generate various numbers of star plus points and various levels of battery charges. I thought at first making gems consumed my Nexo power stars, but no, this is not the case (more on this later).

Equipping Gems

After making the gems, you can now equip them prior to battling monsters in your missions (right after choosing Nexo powers). As stated above, the gems would give star plus points and lasts for specific charges. In the picture above, a red pyramid ridged gem gave the red Nexo powers additional two star plus points, and it's good for three uses. The white gem did the same for the white Nexo power. The gems are color specific, so only equip gems of the same colors as the Nexo powers.

Other major changes the update has brought us are on the ways to master and level up Nexo powers. Before the update, these two concepts are one and the same, but not anymore.

Zero Stars!
Zero Stars!

First impression: All my stars are gone! Were they consumed from making gems? So I did the only natural thing to do: Re-scan Nexo powers!

But Merlok won't let me, because apparently, I have mastered that Nexo power already (because I really did!). That's when I noticed the varying yellow glow on the Nexo powers borders. That's the current equivalent of the then zero to five stars! Once you've mastered a Nexo power, once you've completed the yellow glow border, you can now level it up!

All you have to do is to select the mastered Nexo power in the grid (with the exclamation point) then click its shield on the upper left hand corner. Now watch the star be transferred from the shield to the stars collective. This would then result to stronger Nexo powers, or so they say...

LEGO nexo knights magazine issue 10

LEGO Nexo Knights Issue 10 The LEGO Nexo Knights Magazine Issue 10 is currently on sale, and there's more than one free gift! Before everything else, I would like to apologize for two things. First, for the brief hiatus. Life happened . I'll still try to blog as often as possible though. I'll try my best. Second, for this very tardy post. Issue 10 came out last 16 November but for some reason our local shops don't have it. I have to literally travel downhill to purchase one in the big supermarket. Fortunately, they still have a few on the shelf. And to my surprise, it's a bumper issue! That means it's £1 more expensive. But good thing my bonus toy is a Lava Warrior, so that basically offsets the extra pound. And who says no to army building? I wonder what the others got... Lava Warrior Issue 10's free gift is insanely cool! Ladies and gentlemen, the Mech Bot! Mech Bot The Mech Bots are featured heavily in this issue's comics. They were worn by the Nexo K...

LEGO star wars go rogue

Death Star [75159] (Photo grabbed from  https://www.facebook.com/LEGO/photos ) With the upcoming release of  Rogue One: A Star Wars Story , almost everything is painted black, or going rogue, and that includes the toys... LEGO recently announced the future release (or re-release, depending on your perspective) of the Death Star [75159] Ultimate Collector Series set just in time for the showing of the first film in the Star Wars Anthology Series. The set will retail for US $499.99 / UK £399.99.  A lot of AFOLs are crying foul that the new set is a recycled version of the recently retired Death Star [10188] set with only a few upgrades ( It's a Star Wars recurring theme! ). Personally, I think the LEGO Death Star play set design is great. Maybe it's too great that LEGO is trying to make it close to evergreen. The first Death Star [10188] lasted for about eight years. Who knows how long will the second Death Star [75159] last? This also gives the chance f...

LEGO star wars magazine: issue 15

LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 15 LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 15 has just been released , and this month's free gift is the iconic AT-AT! The All Terrain Armored Transport, or AT-AT for short, is a four-legged combat walker used by the Empire's  ground forces . It first appeared   in The Empire Strikes Back , then prominently featured in Star Wars Rebels , and, more recently, also seen in The Force Awakens (as background wreckage). Older versions seems to be in the  Rogue One: A Star Wars Story , but they may (or may not) be under a different name ( UPDATE: They are apparently called All Terrain Armored Cargo Transport or AT-ACT ).  Being one of the most famous symbols of the Empire's military might, it's no surprise that the AT-AT is the microbuild of Issue 15 . AT-AT So far, the AT-AT is my favorite magazine microbuild (next to the  Naboo Starfighter). I simply love its minimalist look. With only 48 brick pieces, it's a wonder that it accuratel...
