A passionate Skyrim gamer has impressively climbed to Level 70 without ever stepping out of the game’s initial zone. What’s more, they’ve managed to make Sneak a Legendary skill a whopping 11 times, which might just up the ante as they progress further in the game.
Skyrim offers various shortcuts for rapid leveling, but those can inadvertently increase the game’s difficulty scale. The game is cleverly constructed so that as you level up, the enemies level up too, meaning any combat effectiveness relies heavily on finding better gear as you continue exploring. By exploiting non-combat skills to level up early on, players risk making battles tough to win unless they swiftly acquire high-ranking equipment. Despite this gamble, it’s always a fascination to witness how players manage to level up so swiftly in Skyrim.
Recently, a Reddit user known as bogthebog showcased a clip of their ongoing Skyrim journey. They were still lingering in the initial zone post-Helgen escape, right at the brink of being unleashed into Skyrim’s vast world. When they displayed their skill tree, it revealed an astonishing Level 70 achievement in that starting area, coupled with Sneak reaching Legendary status 11fold. Typically, players wouldn’t expect to hit beyond Level 2 here, even after defeating everything in sight. Achieving this at such an early phase is nothing short of extraordinary.
Bogthebog shared that their entire grind took approximately seven hours. By continuously attacking Hadvar, who doesn’t retaliate, they reached 100 in Two-Handed. A similar method was applied to Sneak, targeting Hadvar while sneaking, which is one of the simplest skills to max out in Skyrim. Their accomplishment of reaching Sneak 100 eleven times truly underlines how easily it can be leveled.
It’s remarkable how vibrant Skyrim’s community remains over a decade since its launch. Despite it being over 13 years old, this classic RPG still captivates gamers with a freshness that defies its age. However, anticipation builds within the community for The Elder Scrolls 6, which has seen little news since its 2018 teaser. With Starfield now finished for Bethesda, fans eagerly await more on the next chapter of Elder Scrolls.
