Bartering for the future of Bara Magna…

In the last of our Bara Magna series of updates, we are releasing a revised edition of the My Lego Network Bionicle Campaign Walkthrough as featured on BS01! Enjoy this reimagining of this canonical quest as it may have happened in-story!

The My Lego Network BIONICLE Campaign was unique among BIONICLE storytelling media in that it took place entirely on the My Lego Network social media platform. Players could add BIONICLE characters as friends and barter for items. Exchanges frequently took place in the form of direct messages between the user and the characters. Despite this, the events of this story are… somehow canonical, with the game having been supervised by the story team and the main character being referenced in Raid on Vulcanus.

In the time since, there have been a couple efforts at imagining this story as it would have played out. One notable example is the chapter written by the Crosswired Geeks for their Biological Chronicle (archived on M&L here). However, an earlier attempt was written as a walkthrough for BS01. Modeled after the earlier MNOG and MNOG II Walkthroughs, this version was intended to double both as a game tutorial and as an in-universe account. Though rough around the edges, it was a valiant endeavor.

Though some of the rougher edges have since been polished, (and more polished still by our efforts), this story will always remain an awkward adaptation given the nameless nature of the narrator, the social media platform of the game, and the strange items and collectibles, we have done our best at providing a fun experience of this quest.
