LEGO 71800 Nya's Water Dragon EVO
LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO Ninjago set "Nya's Water Dragon EVO".
Ride into battle with Nya and her water dragon EVO to take on the evil Bone Guard in a thrilling showdown! Lloyd is there to help too. Watch out as the Bone Guard uses his swords as wings to launch a flying attack with his bone shuriken. Upgrade the dragon with golden wings to make it bigger and win the battle. For completing your mission, you will be rewarded with a collectible Generosity banner.
The box cover shows a battle scene between the evil Bone Guard, standing on a green meadow in front of a huge waterfall, and the water dragon EVO who is lunging out of the waterfall in its flying attack pose. EVO is a beautiful water dragon: Its neck and chest are wavy and smooth, just like flowing water. Its color scheme features several shades of dark and light blue with white features worked in as well. In its evolved form, the dragon wears golden armor and wings as well as a golden tail tip. Its spiky tail can be used as a weapon too! Nya is sitting in EVO's saddle with her sword drawn. Meanwhile, Lloyd is on the ground, running towards the Bone Guard to support EVO and Nya in their battle. In the background of the scene, the sun is setting over a peaceful mountain landscape.
Open the box. This can be tricky; ask someone to help you.
The box contains 1 booklet with visual building instructions, 3 bags with numbers printed on them and 1 small bag without number print. Ask a sighted person to help you find the correct bag!
Carefully open bag number 1 and any small sub-bags in it. This bag contains all bricks and pieces for the Nya Minifigure and the torso and head of the water dragon. However, do not open the separate unnumbered bag for now.
Before you start building, ask a sighted person to help you sort the pieces by color. This makes finding the correct pieces even easier!

Her pants are grey with a white rope above the knees. Her jacket is dark grey with metallic grey and metallic blue embellishments and held together by white belt. One sleeve of the jacket is bright blue. The right side of the jacket is embellished with shimmering blue ornaments that mimick crashing waves. Perfect for the Ninja of Water! The jacket has a blue trim, and at the back it features the Ninjago logo in the center. Her hat is dark grey with a bright blue band wrapped around her forehead. She has long lashes and pale pink lips as well as a beauty spot on her right cheek. Her head is printed with two facial expressions: on one side, it shows a joyful smile.

Adjust the legs and feet as needed until you find a steady stance for EVO. On EVO's back, there are 2 surfaces with 2x2 knobs which means that 2 Minifigures can ride the dragon. What a magnificent creature, very well done! Now, to transform EVO into his evolved form and to build the Lloyd and Bone Guard Minifigures, let's continue building!

4 warm gold triple-sloped roof tiles 1x2,
and 2 warm gold armor pieces 2x5 with fin.
Put 1 armor piece horizontally on the table, fin to the right, 4 top knobs on the left.
Put 1 triple-sloped roof tile vertically on the leftmost column, straight edge to the right.
Put another triple-sloped roof tile vertically to the right of the previous piece, straight edge to the right.
Repeat with the other 3 pieces.
Flip 1 armor piece upright, fin to the top, and mount it at the top of the dragon's foreleg (on the plate 2x3).
Repeat symmetrically on the second foreleg.
Find 1 warm gold Japanese dagger.
Insert its shaft into the tip of the dragon tail.
Next, we will give the dragon its bladed wings.
Collect the following 8 pieces:
4 warm gold small tubes with shaft,
and 4 warm gold sword blades 10m with shaft.
Hold 1 small tube horizontally, opening to the right, its shaft running from front to back (not top to bottom).
Hold 1 sword blade horizontally, sword shaft pointing to the left, blade bending slightly upwards towards the right.
Insert the sword's shaft into the small tube.
Repeat 3 times with the 6 remaining pieces.
Identify the 2 clasps on each foreleg pointing to the back. They are relatively at the bottom of the forelegs.
Snap 2 bladed wings into the 2 clasps of each wing. Fold 1 slightly towards the top and the second one a bit lower. Of course, you can adjust their positions as you please.
Next, we will assemble the saddle.
Collect the following 2 pieces:
1 reddish brown round plate 2x2,
and 1 warm gold plate 1x2 with 2 side handles.
Put the round plate 2x2 on the table.
Put the plate 1x2 vertically on the left column, handles pointing to the right.
Find 1 warm gold plate 1x2 with shaft on long side.
Put it vertically on the right column, shaft to the right.
Find 1 reddish brown plate 2x2 with 2 knobs.
Put it on top, 2 knobs forming a column on the left.
The saddle is finished! Great job! Before you mount it, turn the dragon so that its head is pointing to the left.
Mount the saddle on the left set of 2x2 knobs on the dragon's back, shaft to the right. Leave the right 2x2 knobs empty for now.
Next, we build the generosity banner with flagpole.
Collect the following 2 pieces:
1 black shaft 6m with ring, (6m means that this shaft is roughly 6 knobs long)
and 1 reddish brown small tube with clasp.
Hold the small tube upright, clasp pointing to the bottom.
Hold the shaft upright, shaft end with ring to the bottom, and insert it from the top into the small tube.
Find 1 bright red plate 1x2 with 2 vertical clasps on long side.
Hold it upright vertically, clasps to the left, knobs pointing towards you, and snap the clasps from the right on the flagpole.
Find 1 bright red flat tile 2x3. (This piece is printed.)
Put it upright vertically on the previous piece, using the 2 topmost connection points of its left column.
If done correctly, the plate 1x2 and flat tile 2x3 are flush at their top left corners.
The flat tile is printed with the sign of generosity: it is a picture of the Sword of Fire with two hands reaching for the sword. This print is pale blue and white with a red and golden frame.
The generosity banner with flag pole is finished! Well done! Snap the clasp at its bottom into the shaft of the saddle. Rotate the banner so that it is extending towards the dragon tail.
Now, we will build the Lloyd Minifigure.
Collect the following 2 pieces:
1 olive green pair of legs,
and 1 dark green, mossy green and bright yellowish green upper part of the body.
Put the upper body on the legs.
Collect the following 2 pieces:

Put the head on the body.
Find 1 dark green and bright yellowish green ninja hat.
Put it on the head.
Find 1 warm gold katana sword 6m.
Snap it into Lloyd's hand.
The Lloyd Minifigure is finished! Great job! Ninjago Core suit in different shades of green. It is decorated with a light green dragon wrapping around his chest from the front to the back. The left sleeve is light green, the right sleeve dark green. Lloyd has green eyes and a grim but determined look on his face. Clenching his theeth, he is ready to face any challenge. The dragon head and the Ninjago dojo symbol decorate the back of Lloyd's suit. His hat is a typically wrapped ninja hat with special padding around the forehead and the mouth for protection. Lloyd is ready to fight!
You have finished building the entire set! Very well done! Now that everybody is armed and ready, it is time to defend the Ninjago universe against the Bone Guard. Watch out for his arsenal of weapons. It is dangerous to even come close to him! But with united forces and the power of the water dragon, the Ninjagos will succeed.
