* GoddamnedBoss: The Crux Prime bosses, sans Roo Morgg, Nuckal, and [[ThatOneBoss Butterscorch]]. Most of them are fairly easy to fight, especially with a team of four players.

And, [[FlunkyBoss since they usually spawn amongst many of their fellow Stromlings]], it can be frustrating to have nearly defeated one of them only to get killed by some Maelstrom Horseman shooting at you.

When Baron Typhonus spawns the spider, Dr. Overbuild's cute little Robot Dog pet barks at it... [[KickTheDog and the Spider Boss immediately crushes it beneath one of its feet]]. It begins to attack the other three explorers as Baron Typhonus [[EvilLaugh laughs]], but then [[PatrickStewart the narrator]] says one bone-chilling line:
-->'''[[PatrickStewart Narrator]]''': "His foolhardy attempt to control creation through destruction merely created chaos. And creatures of chaos have ''no'' master."
** The Spider Boss then turns on Baron Typhonus, who [[OhCrap realizes]] its intentions a second too late. He tries to flee from it, but the Spider Boss's foot [[CapeSnag snags his cape]]. The last we see of either of them, the Spider Boss is pulling a terrified and struggling Baron Typhonus into the Imagination Nexus, and then the bright blue energy turns [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack purple]] as it is mutated into the Maelstrom. This is easily one of the [[DarkerAndEdgier Darkest and Edgiest]] moments in {{LEGO}} history, and the [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome background music]] certainly doesn't help.
** During the Spider Queen boss battle, she [[HellIsThatNoise shrieks in agony]] whenever you smash one of her Dark Spiderlings.
** Upon completing the "Something in the Maelstrom" mission, you are greeted with a vision where your Minifig is sent to what appears to be an elongated staircase in the middle of a Maelstrom vortex. The glowing red image of a skull accompanied by deep {{Evil Laugh}}ter flashes before your eyes as, in the distance, you see a silhouette of [[spoiler:Baron Typhonus]] atop the staircase. Then, tendrils of Maelstrom energy lace out in a double helix around the staircase as the silhouette grows closer and closer. Just before the Maelstrom tendrils slam into your Minifig and SmashToBlack, [[spoiler:Typhonus]] towers above you, and you can see that [[spoiler:his entire figure is pitch-black, like a silhouette, with his only visible features being the glowing red outline of a skull. This served as confirmation to Master Fong Shader's words: Baron Typhonus is alive, and he is now the Darkitect!]]
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Alpha testers and early beta testers may remember the time where the developers tried to give [[LEGOAdventurers Johnny Thunder]] a [[ReTool complete makeover]]. The outcry was so great, the developers actually scrapped their redesign and went with the classic appearance instead, AndTheFandomRejoiced.

* WastedSong: [[http://youtu.be/Ds0isbwBGJU Nimbus Plaza]], which can be heard in various trailers and promos, was never heard in the game itself.
** In-game, you only hear a tiny fraction of [[http://youtu.be/_Avw2WGRQi8 Strombie Combat]]. Granted, [[http://youtu.be/2khbwLB0-nk what is included]] is remixed in a way that makes it seem much longer, but most of the original track is cut out of the game.
*** Similarly, [[http://youtu.be/rUKsfXEftd4 Spider Cave]] has three bursts of furious intensity in the full track that, for some reason, are entirely cut out of the song when played in Avant Gardens Survival, Battle for Nimbus Station, and even the ''Spider Queen boss battle'', where it would have made the most sense to include them!
** In beta testing, Monument Opening Music Loop 2 could only be heard while speaking to a specific NPC, Rusty Steele.
