Rifts are the portals between the many dimensions inside LEGO Dimensions. They appear as a ring of fire with "bricks" moving in or out of the center, with flurries of star dust and stars in the background.
Background[]
Used mainly to travel between dimensions, the Rifts are created by an ability such as Lord Vortech's power, technology such as a gateway, or a Keystone, like Shift, Locate, Rip, Phase, and Locate.
Usage[]
- Whenever a tag is placed or removed from the Toy Pad, a rift appears to summon or take away a character, vehicle or gadget.
- Whenever the player approaches or uses a Keystone Activator
- Whenever a player approaches a Gateway on Vorton or The Shard.
- Sometimes they randomly spawn in levels like The Phantom Zone (After breaking down a door in the 1912 Titanic secret area) or Sonic Dimensions (as the player moves through the level)
Variants[]
