| LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO Creator set "Creator Sunken Treasure Mission" – octopus with sunken treasure and submarine. |
| Enjoy incredible underwater adventures with 3 different LEGO playsets. Dive to the bottom of the sea in a submarine to search for sunken treasure guarded by an octopus. Later, rebuild it into a smaller submarine for more action with a giant lobster – or turn it into a giant manta ray for fun with a diver and coral reef. The play possibilities are endless with this brilliant 3in1 set. This page contains the instructions for the giant octopus with sunken treasure and submarine. |
| The box cover shows a scene at the bottom of the sea. A giant dark red octopus is resting its eight tentacles on the seabed in the center of the scene. Approaching from behind on the right is a high-tech submarine. It is a propeller-driven vessel with a grey body, big yellow oxygen tanks and propellers, a camera, and 2 remote control arms. It's perfect for exploring the deep blue sea. The submarine pilot is sitting in the cockpit, which is a glass bubble providing a 180° view. At the very bottom of the box cover, there is a sunken gold safe. However, it seems like the sturdy safe door broke open and 2 gold ingots fell out! A skeleton scuba diver is leaning on the side of the safe, probably hiding from the submarine or the octopus. You decide! On the right side of the box cover, there is a vertical yellow banner with the 3-in-1 logo on top as well as small images of the 2 rebuild options of this set. The first is a giant lobster with a smaller submarine and the second is a giant manta ray with a colorful coral reef. If you choose to build those alternative sets first, go to the corresponding site in the audio instructions library. If you want to build them after building the octopus with sunken treasure and submarine, you will have to disassemble the set before you can build the others. But now, let's get started. |
| Open the box. This can be tricky; ask someone to help you! |
| The box contains 3 booklets with visual building instructions (one for each 3-in-1 option) and 4 bags with numbers printed on them. Ask a sighted person to help you find the correct bag! |
| Carefully open the 2 bags with the number 1 on them and any small sub-bags in it. These two bags contain all bricks and pieces for the submarine pilot Minifigure and the submarine. |
| Before you start building, ask a sighted person to help you sort the pieces by color. This makes finding the correct pieces even easier! |

| Put the white round tile 1x1 on top. It is printed with an eye. |
| Find 1 maroon red inverted dome 2x2 with 1 knob. |
| Put it on the table, knob to the bottom. |
| Insert the 1x1 pieces into the middle of the inverted dome. |
| Collect the following 4 pieces: |
| 1 white round tile 1x1, |
| 1 light purple round plate 1x1, |
| 1 dark orange round plate 1x1, |
| and 1 maroon red inverted dome 2x2 with 1 knob. |
| Repeat the previous steps for the second eye: put the dark orange round plate 1x1 on the table, put the light purple round plate 1x1 on top, followed by the white round tile 1x1 with eye print. |
| Put the inverted dome 2x2 on the table, knob to the bottom, and insert the stacked 1x1 pieces. |
| The 2 octopus eyes are finished! Well done! Insert the top side handle pointing to the front into the hole of the dome 2x2. The tile 1x1 with eye print is pointing outwards. |
| Repeat symmetrically at the back. You can adjust the position of the eyes if you like. |
| Next, we will build the 8 tentacles of the octopus. |
| Since the 8 tentacles are identical, we will collect the pieces for all 8 in each step, explain the step in question for 1 tentacle and tell you to repeat it for the remaining 8. |
| Each tentacle consists of 3 segments: The inner segments which will be closest to the body of the octopus, the middle segments, and the outer segments. We will start with the inner segments which will eventually be mounted on the 8 balls. |
| Find 8 bright red plates 1x3. |
| Put all 8 plates upside down horizontally on the table, knobs to the bottom. |
| Find 24 light purple round plates 1x1. |
| Put 3 round plates 1x1 upside down on 1 plate 1x3. |
| Repeat for the 7 remaining inner tentacle segments. |
| These light purple round plates 1x1 are the suction cups of the tentacles! |
| Collect the following 16 pieces: |
| 8 medium stone grey plates 1x2 with ball cup on short side, |
| and 8 maroon red plates 1x1 with vertical side clasp. |
| First, turn the 8 inner tentacle segments right side up again. Keep them in horizontal orientation. |
| Put 1 plate with ball cup horizontally on the 2 right knobs of 1 tentacle segment, ball cup to the right. |
| Put 1 plate with side clasp to the left of the previous piece, clasp to the left. |
| Repeat for the 7 remaining tentacle segments. |
| Find 8 maroon red roof tiles 1x3, 25°. |
| Put 1 horizontally on top of the 2 previous pieces, slope to the left. |
| Repeat for the 7 remaining tentacles. |
| Well done! Put those 8 inner tentacle segments aside for now. We will continue with making the middle tentacle segments. |
| Find 8 bright red plates 1x2 with 2 shafts on short sides. |
| Put all 8 plates upside down horizontally on the table, knobs to the bottom. |
| Find 16 light purple round plates 1x1. |
| Put 2 round plates 1x1 upside down on 1 plate 1x2. |
| Repeat for the 7 remaining middle tentacle segments. |
| Collect the following 16 pieces: |
| 8 maroon red one-stepped curve tiles 1x2x⅔, |
| and 8 dark orange round plates 1x1. |
| First, flip the middle tentacle segments right side up again. Keep them in horizontal orientation. |
| Put 1 round plate 1x1 on the right knob of 1 tentacle segment. |
| Put 1 curve tile 1x2 horizontally on top of the previous piece and the knob to its left, slope to the left. |
| Repeat for the 7 remaining tentacle segments. |
| The middle tentacle segments are finished! Snap the right shaft of 1 middle tentacle segment into the clasp of 1 inner tentacle segment. |
| If done correctly, the two segments form a horizontal line, ball cup on the right, shaft on the left. |
| Repeat for the remaining 7 tentacles. |
| Next, we will make the 8 outer tentacle segments. |
| Collect the following 16 pieces: |
| 8 bright red plates 1x2 with vertical clasp on short side, |
| and 8 maroon red plates 1x2. |
| Put the 8 plates 1x2 (the ones without clasp) upside down horizontally on the table. |
| Put 1 plate 1x2 with clasp upside down horizontally on top, clasp to the right. |
| Repeat for the 7 remaining outer tentacle segments. |
| Find 16 light purple round plates 1x1. |
| Put 2 of them upside down on 1 outer tentacle segment. |
| Repeat for the 7 remaining outer tentacle segments. |
| The outer tentacle segments are finished! Flip them right side up again, and snap their clasps on the empty shafts of the middle tentacle segments. |
| The 8 tentacles of the octopus are finished! Well done! Now, you can snap the ball cups of the tentacles on the balls of the octopus body. |
| The giant octopus is finished! Great job! You can lower the body by carefully bending the tentacles more, and lift it up by straightening the tentacles a little. The nose cone at the bottom of the octopus is there for stability. |
| You have finished building the entire set! Fantastic job! Let the submarine pilot roam the ocean in her high-tech vessel. She loves discovering new treasures in the deep blue sea! Who will get to the sunken treasure first? The skeleton diver or the submarine pilot? And will they be able to snatch the treasure out of the 8 octopus tentacles? It is for you to find out! |
| Enjoy! |
