“I finally did it”: PS5 player takes 11 years to master a challenge in Skyrim

As The Elder Scrolls 6 is still a long way off, players are either helping themselves with The Elder Scrolls Online or with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. In the latter title, a player has now conquered a personal challenge after 11 years.

What kind of challenge is it? The player has managed to level up all 18 skills from Skyrim to the maximum level. This includes combat skills such as two-handed or one-handed, but also other useful skills like pickpocketing and speech.

In a clip on Reddit, he proudly shows that he has reached level 100 in all skills:

How did he level the skills? In Skyrim, skills are leveled up by simply using them. If you block enemy attacks with your shield in combat, for example, the level of the blocking skill increases.

Additionally, there are NPCs who can slightly increase the level of your skills. Still, it takes some time for all skills to reach level 100.

The user named einfachnurchris admits that he used a glitch to level the destruction skill 146 times to the maximum. With the Anniversary Edition, there is a new spell called “Unlimited Storms”.

The player used the spell and employed fast travel from Riften to Markarth. Right after that, the corresponding skill reaches level 100. However, he only used the glitch after he had reached level 100 in destruction at least once, which other users do not consider cheating.

Alternatively, fans of The Elder Scrolls can spend their time with ESO. You can see the largest MMORPGs in 2023 on MeinMMO:

Yet, one way or another, it is an impressive achievement to reach the maximum level of all skills without mods, with which, for example, a multiplayer mode becomes possible.

11 years since the first Skyrim purchase

Why did it take him 11 years? The player was able to achieve his success on the PS5. Since this console version has not been around for very long, a user speculated that the save file must have been transferred across several generations.

However, einfachnurchris admits that this is not the same save file. He meant with the 11 years that he had bought his first version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim back then.

The following editions have already been released:

  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011)
  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Special Edition (2016)
  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Anniversary Edition (2021)

So he has had several save files already, but with this one, he achieves for the first time the maximum level of all skills.

On PS5, players unfortunately cannot use mods for the standard version of Skyrim. One of these mods allows you to use the Nemesis system from Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor: Mod brings one of the best video game systems ever to Skyrim – But you better hurry with the download
