CONTEXT: This is a thread of me playing LEGO games, talking about LEGO games, showing bugs, asking for help if I genuinely cannot figure out how to do something, LEGO RELATED STUFF!
ALRIGHT I was just informed of the lovely speedrun tactic of doing the entire game’s playthrough and then doing extra stuff, like minikits, and true adventurer or Jedi or whatever it is.
Also, if anyone’s curious, I do record and put my gameplay on youtube, so if anyone wants to see my stupidity, I’ll gladly give it to them!
Also, along with 100%, I’ve heard there’s an entire type of speedrun not talked about enough where you try to get the literal cap amount of treasure. I’ve done it twice, but I’m not sure if I should continue doing it or not.
If anyone here has any tips please tell me I need them
also no I’m not doing Nimbus right now, I got banned for talking about mushrooms on pizza.
There’s also- not really a bug, more just precise movement, where you can stand on top of the peak another box is by? Not sure if that could count as a glitcch.
So apparently the world record speedrun is at 2 hours, 43 minutes. That’s 100%. Now someone PLEASE explain how I can even shorten my runs to less than 5 because I have 97 runs left for this lego game alone and I don’t have the mental capacity for it–
Sorry for the dump, but seriously, I’m losing my mind.
I just spent hours calculating and doing the math on how to speedrun an open world LEGO game. But I’m about 8 games away from that. I regret my life choices.
So basically, there’s this fun bug in only ONE PART of Lego Indiana Jones, movie one, on the final level. You hit this annoying bug, in one room. You NEED to hook up a second controller or person here in my experience. It was fine on the first run, but it didn’t on this second run. Confusion!
CONTEXT: Picture taken from my video on my channel where I upload my insanity.
So you have to move this thing across the path, go up a ramp to jump on it, but there’s one thats the same below, which means you need to go on both, like buttons. But when you on one, the AI follows you and doesn’t go on the other.
So everytime. I have to hook up my keyboard and do this. EVERYTIME.
Alright, past 50% on my final run (only doing 3, because 100 is just too many.) and then I’m doing my speedrun attempt!!
I will post the speedrun attempt here, on this thread, because I get three total attempts and then I’m done with Lego: Indiana Jones! Should amount to sub ten runs!
I’m done. Lego Indiana Jones inflation couldn’t contain me…
Three UNOFFICIAL speedruns now! I’m not timing myself, but I’m completing 100% of the game in one sitting. Three times. I don’t want the glory, nor do I want to set up the timer, so it is unofficial. The video is my timer.
Alright so I’ve been doing some math with my runs!
From what I know, there’s two general methods for lego game speedruns when it comes to hub-world games. Like Indiana Jones.
Method one is where you speed through the story, getting the bare essentials for free play. While this isn’t a bad idea, it is difficult to both work with after, and seems to fix me at around 9:30 hours.
Method two seems to be much faster, and as a glitchless player, seems better. You get minikits, red bricks, max treasure, and everything as you play in the level. This seems to be much faster, and I figured it would be. I imagine it’s faster with glitches but I have HONOR so I will not play glitchless.
I’ve figured out that method two is generally faster, and my runs, the co-op runs that @sock has been kidnapped to join me! So thank you to this kind (unfortunate) soul.
11 minikits. How did I do this. It is LITERALLY Impossible… would this count as a run breaker for speedruns? Nothing on the speedrun website says if it is or not. I play glitchless, and I am looking through the footage and I don’t see WHERE I could’ve gotten the 11th minikit. I’m baffled.
I have an idea of where it could’ve come from, but I’m not sure.
In this level, you dig up three snowmen and build them, but because I broke open a gate to build a snowman using rockets instead of torches, and then when I walked over with a torch, I could built that one snowman twice. I built it twice, thinking it would do nothing but I think it gave me a minikit. I NOW know this is a glitch but that doesn’t answer my question.
In my recording, I visibly get other minikits but getting the book-required one makes it 11. I had five going in so how did I get six?
If you’re curious, check the video where I get the minikits. Episode 1 of run 4 has this level start at 14:26.
