I was curious about how unlocking the final stage Destiny worked. I remember as a kid being able to enter the level once episode 6 unlocked, and that's clearly what happens in the speedrun. But I also remember being able to unlock episodes 5 and 6 after only completing the first level. Is playing through all 5 levels of episode 4 necessary to access Destiny?

If you have version 1.1 which was only released in the US, Destiny unlocks after beating level 5 in any episode. On version 1.0 it just isn't accessible from the cantina at all (what a brilliantly tested game), so you have to play through Episode 6.

of all lego games, the devs DID NOT care about this one at all

Wow, just my luck I own the 1.0 version. That really reeks lmao

With that being said, I remember being able to access Destiny at some point through the Cantina, and without beating all of episode 6 (I remember being able to access it without beating 6-4 and still having 6-5 locked) but I couldn't say for the life of me how I did it.
