The humble pig plays a surprisingly significant role in LEGO City Undercover, appearing across different districts and often requiring some creative problem-solving to return to its rightful home. The location of the pig varies depending on the specific area you’re exploring. Pigs need to be located, awakened (usually with food), and then launched back to a designated cannon to be considered “returned.” The article below offers a guide to the many pig locations and solutions in LEGO City Undercover.
Pig Locations and Solutions: A District-by-District Guide
LEGO City Undercover is a vast open-world game, and the locations of the escaped pigs are scattered throughout the city and its surrounding areas. Returning these pigs often unlocks rewards and contributes to your overall game completion. Here’s a breakdown of where to find pigs in some key locations:
Liberty Island
On Liberty Island, the pig is found on the left side of the stairs leading up to the statue. Once you locate him, you’ll need to run him over to the cannon in the grass to the east of the statue.
Pagoda
The Pagoda district features two pigs. For Pig Returned 1, you need to drill the broken ground to the northwest and then build a catapult from the blocks you uncover. Launch yourself onto the roof, then ride the pig to the southern tip of Pagoda where the cannon awaits. Pig Returned 2 will appear after completing the actions for Character Token 2 (ringing three gongs).
Bluebell National Park
In Bluebell National Park, the quest of returning the pig requires finding him first. Water the flower pot on the side of the castle to grow some climbable vines. Ascend the side of the castle and hop onto the roof. To awaken the pig up here, you’ll need to put an apple and banana in its feeding trough.
Auburn
You’ll need a banana and an apple to wake this pig up. Banana: Use the red LEGO pot on the rooftop (Farmer Disguise) – at the top of the tower, you’ll find a Super Chicken glide marker. Glide across to the tunnel entrance roof. Water the mound of LEGO dirt to get your banana.
Uptown
In Uptown, climb to the top of the Art Museum and Super Glide to the Natural History Museum. Once on the roof, use the tight rope to get to the pig.
