The Penguin Collectibles in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
The Penguin level drops Batman and Catwoman into the Arctic World during Chapter 2, and it hides a tidy haul behind its frozen corridors and exploding penguin ambushes. The mission contains five Rubber Ducks, five WayneTech Caches, and a single Red Brick that unlocks the Gothic costume style.

Quick answer: Sweep the level in mission order, grabbing ducks as you pass through the shutter, the trap room, the portrait area, the flooded chamber, and the final security room. The Red Brick sits behind the Penguin portrait and requires Catwoman's whip to aim the red umbrella at a caged display.

The Penguin collectibles overview
The Arctic World breaks into three rough segments: the entry shutter and trap room, the gallery with the Penguin portrait, and the deeper Find the Penguin section with armored cameras. Collectibles are spread roughly evenly across all three.

| WayneTech Cache #1 | Open the security door | Right side of the trap room, reached via a built trampoline |
| Rubber Duck #2 | Open the security door | Left side of the trampoline room, floating in icy water |
| Rubber Duck #3 | Explore Arctic World | Above the Penguin portrait after exiting the vent |
| Red Brick #1 (Gothic) | Explore Arctic World | Caged near the portrait, freed using the red umbrella |
| WayneTech Cache #2 | Explore Arctic World | Behind a caged penguin, opposite the duck boat |
| WayneTech Cache #3 | Explore Arctic World | Hidden door revealed by exploding the snowman |
| Rubber Duck #4 | Explore Arctic World | Center island of the flooded room |
| Rubber Duck #5 | Find the Penguin | Right corner of the room after the security cameras |

| WayneTech Cache #5 | Find the Penguin | Locked vault opened with a key fetched via Call Kitty |
Rubber Ducks (5 total)
Rubber Ducks are the most plentiful collectible in the Penguin mission, and most can be grabbed on the critical path without backtracking.
Rubber Duck #1. After the opening cutscene, climb the wall as Catwoman and hit the lever. The shutter rolls open, and the duck is sitting in the path forward, impossible to walk past.

Rubber Duck #2. Once both the Ice Trap and Fire Trap are disabled, drop into the next room and deal with the enemies. Turn left immediately on landing, and you'll spot the duck bobbing in the icy water.
Rubber Duck #3. After the exploding penguin fight, take the vent forward. When you climb out, look up at the wall above the Penguin's portrait. The duck is tucked into the corner.

Rubber Duck #4. Inside the flooded chamber, the small island in the middle holds the duck on top. It's visible from the surrounding walkway.

Rubber Duck #5. Disable the armored security cameras to enter the next open room. The duck rests in the right-hand corner, near the back wall.
WayneTech Caches (5 total)
The caches lean more on character abilities. Plan to use Batman's Explosive Gel and Batarang, and Catwoman's Whip, glass cutter, and Call Kitty.
WayneTech Cache #1. In the same room as Rubber Duck #2, head right along the ice. Smash the crate on the ledge to assemble a trampoline, then bounce up to grab the high ledge holding the cache.

WayneTech Cache #2. After Catwoman cuts through the glass past the duck boat, swing left to find a penguin trapped in a cage. Have Batman pull the cage out of the way, then have Catwoman slice the glass behind it to reach the cache.
WayneTech Cache #3. From the previous cache, keep moving right until you reach a snowman. Hit it to set off the explosion. The blast opens a hidden door with the cache inside.

WayneTech Cache #4. In the room with Rubber Duck #5, press the red button. Exploding penguins will rush in. Defeat them to expose the valve wheel they were guarding. Carry the wheel back to the entrance and mount it on the wall. Flip the setting from ice to fire to melt the icy brickwork, then plant Batman's Explosive Gel on the wall to blow it open.

WayneTech Cache #5. Head into the side room with the ice display cases. Batman needs to stand on the targeting platform and throw a Batarang at the cracked case. Switch to Catwoman, use Call Kitty to pilot a cat through the left-hand vent, and grab the key. Bring it back to Catwoman to unlock the vault holding the final cache.
Red Brick #1 (Gothic)
The Red Brick is the trickiest pickup in the Penguin level because it depends on a chain of Catwoman actions.
Step 1: To the right of the Penguin portrait, smash the stacked boxes to expose a vent. Climb through to reach the hidden room beyond.

Step 2: Switch to Catwoman and cut through the glass case to retrieve the red umbrella. Carry it over and set it down on the podium.
Step 3: Use Catwoman's Whip to aim the red umbrella at the cage holding the Red Brick, then jump on the pressure plate to the left. The shot fires and blows the cage open, releasing the brick.

Rewards for completing the set
Two unlocks tie directly to these collectibles, and both pay off outside the level.
| Collectible set | Reward | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|
| All 5 Rubber Ducks | Rubber Duck Batcave Trophy | Displayed in the Batcave; modeled after the vehicle the Penguin pilots in his boss fight |
| Red Brick #1 | Gothic customization style | Applied to costumes through the Batcave customization menu |
| All 5 WayneTech Caches | Crafting and upgrade currency | Banked toward Batsuit and gadget progression |
If anything slipped past on the first run, missions can be revisited from the Batcave with the Free Play roster, which makes mopping up the Catwoman-gated items and any Batarang puzzles much faster once both characters are unlocked across the chapter.
