In this installment of SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED, we go over how the world record holders for LEGO® Lord of the Rings™ 100% (N0CUT5, Co-op), carkoon and flup, beat the game in under 6 hours. This run is dense and intense. With the myriad of tools you have at your disposal with the NU2 engine, they absolutely break this game over its knees with backbreaking movement such as walking, walking, walking, and much more. In addition to the ridiculous movement, they utilize several glitches such as launching, minikit duping, and pure luck to clip through walls or skip portions of levels, and several skips to speedrun getting to the restroom.
