How Speedrunners Beat LEGO: The Hobbit in 10 Minutes

LEGO The Hobbit is, on it's own, a controversial game. Outside of the public consensus, though, lies one of LEGO's most integral speedruns, one that shaped the future of ALL LEGO games, and created one heck of a story along the way. So, let's find out how speedrunners pushed this game below 10 minutes!

Hope you guys enjoy, big thanks to Hamster for helping me understand this crazy game! What do you want to see next?

[@bd1pLP]

cooking video.

[@greyarchamedisblackthorn]

I think a Vampire Survivors Speedrun video would be neat since it just seems like such a fixed time game, I'd be interested in seeing if there were actually time saves in it.

[@khloegwen]

A video about Lego hp 1-4 hand held.

[@notsebic]

Harry Potter please

[@Wayne97242]

Lego batman speed runs if there is any

[@lukegaier9490]

Technically, nobody has ever beaten this game because it's only two-thirds finished.

[@verylostdoommarauder]

That confused me so much when I was a kid.

[@TreblePhoenix]

​@@verylostdoommarauderYeah. I think it had something to do with the movie adaptation of the book being split into a trilogy.

[@isaacholzwarth]

​@@TreblePhoenixit was going to be finished via free dlc, but they never put that out. Essentially they sold a full game but only actually gave us 2/3. Should have been illegal.

[@TreblePhoenix]

@@isaacholzwarth wow. I wish they did give us the free DLC that was promised

[@jeremycook4105]

That makes sense

[@gman_0277]

just 100% this game again this year it’s so good. only wish they released the third movie.

[@JoeEnderman]

I know. I usuaslly beat the game once a year. It is a fun process to 100%. I wish they'd make the last 3rd. But it is probably trapped in legal hell.

[@captainpaxo7024]

Great video :) a couple of things to note for those who want a bit extra. The very first runs with the 1-13 level skip hit the door for room 2 of level 13, Jack/Los's setup was even better than just saving the time of hovering as it saved a couple of minutes but hitting the room 3 door, and made this consistent. Also, Hamster's first sub 2 hour Any% was heartbreakingly not saved on twitch, meaning it couldn't be accepted as a WR on the boards. Everyone forgot about this pretty soon after as a week later the WR was 14:15, 45s short of a full 2 hour improvement of the official WR

[@CurtisCreates]

kinda crazy to think the time to beat this game is shorter than this vid

[@CesarTorres61296]

Can I just say how the Hobbit's Buddy/Team Up Feature is actually super cool?

[@RedPandaReal]

Lego the hobbit was one of my favorite lego games as a kid and i recently got it on steam to 100% it again

[@JackJugglerGames]

Great video! I was looking to make something like this a year or so back, just never did it. I would love a video about Restricted Any%, there was way more competition and more interesting discoveries, as well as a tournament. A couple notes: The jump skip was found the day after the level trigger was found, and only a few runs used the hover. My 11:42 was really optimal at the time for the hardware it was on, I doubt I could get sub 11 on my current PC. Also, I don't know if you are saving this for a restricted any% video, but I would have liked to see more of the route. For a couple other notes see Paxo's comment.

[@therealmrfunkyfresh]

Dude I love your videos keep up the good work 👍

[@ickaruus4909]

great video! I love obscure speedruns in games absolutely not intended for it

[@patrykgrajewski3773]

That "3 years ago" only hits when you imagine that runners wouldn't run it again until 2026

[@JosukeCena]

Love your videos keep up the great work

[@AntonyP24]

Love these videos

[@Taavett]

Im glad you are showcasing this game, this is my favorite Lego game 🎉

[@smkurki]

Nice video!

[@Danieloasis]

Have to say the hobbit was a severely underrated Tt games Lego game

[@billswag3870]

Yess waited for the series

[@slurpeekyler]

Lovely video, very interesting.

[@Arlgm]

Great content and great people.

[@latarniamorska6336]

im still playing this goated game once every year

[@mystic844]

Summoning Salt would be proud of this video.

[@gracediaclearskies3699]

I tried playing this game with my little sister when it first came out… our copy was beyond broken. We got to the overworld and there was no collision anywhere. Literally just fell through the floor no matter what we tried. Turning the game on and off, cleaning the disc, changing settings… yeah. Nada. So we didn’t even get to play the first level lmao. While the game will forever have my ire over that mess, this was super interesting! I’m glad others have fun with the game :D

[@starmunch6433]

i remember buying lego the hobbit day 1 for the 3ds lol

[@musk_operacji]

nice vid, also, why on 9:20 Los' runs is shown as coop in livesplit layout?

[@KR_Kosmik]

Praise the fish god

[@TheGreenPuff]

praise be

[@jroker3938]

Thought my phone was cracked at 9:40. Tripped me out

[@stefanlewszuk5359]

Not Paxo having the Free Science Lessons guy as a pfp 😭😂😂😭😭. PTSD for any person whos been through the UK school system in the last few years...

[@raghugba863]

Dang, I guess the video about big speedrunning discoveries isn't a cooking video after all

[@dinoboi55]

Bro I just 100% this game yesterday wth

[@swausgebouwen143]

Lego the hobbit is my second favourite Lego game after Lego Star Wars the Clone Wars. Its Even better than The Lord of the Rings, despite having 2/3 of the levels

[@brendanbowman8865]

One can’t just simply jump to level 13.

[@Vitaxses]

can you do more middled earth videoes Thanks. Btw great vidd

[@Wayne97242]

I love watching your lego game speed run videos. Can you please make more 😊❤

[@shayhorvath2795]

Green peppers are on a fire pit in my my deck

[@Reppen555]

the fact that lego hobbit got released whitout even including all 3 movies is f stupid atleast lego lord of the rings included the entire movies

[@TheGreenPuff]

TheGreenPuff!

[@mina9e]

i don't remember any of this happening in the book, lol...

[@TheLegoLinkYT]

I can't believe Lego games are some of the most broken games out there.

[@MBZ901]

I can, they're easy to break just by accident (good games but not very polished, I mean)

[@stephan3362]

God I love Lego games

[@smaedward830]

this is insane!!!

[@Backfisch5927]

Why does the game look better than it's cutscenes?

[@boxfoxscoot1614]

oh fuck yes

[@goldenreapercow7996]

10/10

[@djtoxicdhg]

I am the king of 🐧

[@khloegwen]

Bobbit gang

[@polytanksan5761]

Bego the bobbit

[@ylso2356]

We had a small fight for the co-op wr in 2020. GG

[@spl00f8]

Why did so many people watch this video that’s 16minutes long to see how people finished the game in 10minutes?

[@JustWatching4429]

I'm planning to speedrun a specific category in one lego game with my mom because there aren't any submissions. I'm pretty excited. Edit: Just thought I should mention I'm saying this because the video reminded me of it
