How do you unlock Blackbeard in LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean?

Question

I've completed the story mode of LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, but when I go back in free play mode, there are a few things that can only be affected by Blackbeard's sword, but he doesn't appear to have been unlocked by completing story mode. How do you unlock Blackbeard, or get his sword?

Answer

From videogamesblogger.com:

Here’s a quick video explaining how to unlock characters including:

• The location of Blackbeard*;
• How to unlock Blackbeard*;
• How to purchase characters;
• How to create custom characters;

It looks like you do have to complete the game to have him show up, but after that you need to go across the bridge that's to the left of the port-area and kill him.

How do you purchase the bad characters in LEGO: Pirates of the Caribbean?

Question

In LEGO: Pirates of the Caribbean, how do you purchase any of the bad/evil characters, like Davy Jones, the hammerhead shark guy, etc.?

If you wait around long enough in the port, the bad guys eventually show up and start fighting. Unlike good characters, which you can purchase directly (hitting B on the Xbox 360 version), they don't show a way to purchase them, but they do show they are available for purchase.

Is there a character I unlock at some point who will allow me to buy them, or is there some other way?

Answer

In order to purchase an "enemy" character (bad guys if you're good, good guys if you're bad), you must first beat them senseless.

Attack the character long enough and, instead of breaking, they will become available for purchase with B just like a co-aligned character. Once you have one "evil" character, it's probably easier to switch to them before purchasing other bad guys, to avoid the fight.

What are silver doors and objects?

Question

In Lego Pirates of the Caribbean, what are the silver doors and objects? How do I get past them/interact with them?

Answer

You need to use explosives to destroy them. You may not have a character with explosives yet, but you'll unlock them later. The general rule of thumb for Lego Games is that you can't do everything in a level in story mode, you need to wait for free play mode.
