Elder Scrolls Online offers many thousands of hours full of content. One player has truly seen and experienced everything there is and explains how long it took him.
Who is it about? On Reddit, the player Kilnerdyne showed his achievement page from Elder Scrolls Online. It is completely filled out and stands at 100%. With 72590 achievement points, the player really played through Elder Scrolls Online, but it wasn’t that easy, as he explains.

No pain, no gain
What did the player find difficult? To obtain all achievements in the MMORPG, the player needed around 36,000 hours or 1,500 days or just over four years. A high price to pay when you spend so much life time in an MMORPG. Of course, this time also counts the playtime for other characters on the account as well as AFK time.
For the player, the most challenging part was completing the “Trifecta.” For this, group challenges in the game must be completed at the highest difficulty level, without being defeated and within a certain time limit. Consequently, the team members must also play well – which is notoriously the most difficult part.
On the other hand, farm achievements like completing all sets in the game probably required the most time. But exploring the whole world and its secrets is also not to be underestimated. Players agree with this view.
How do other players react? Kilnerdyne is not the only one, but one of the few players who have completed Elder Scrolls Online at 100%. Therefore, players also give him the respect he deserves, even though some on Reddit view the playtime rather critically:
- Digitijs: “36,299 hours in total? A part of that time must have come from just leaving the game open, right? Right? Edit: That’s a little over 4 years for anyone wondering. That’s a little more than a third of the time the game has even been out. In other words: that’s equivalent to 8 hours of playtime every single day since the release”
- thecraftybear: “You should receive a real trophy from ZOS in real life for that.”
- Schiffy94: “I’ve only seen one other person achieve that, and that was on a single character because the global achievement update wasn’t live yet. Congratulations, you psychopath. Your reward is grass.”
- bmrtt: “Honestly, I’m so jealous of people who managed to find a group capable enough for something like that. The trial community is deeply entrenched in the trenches.”
What the player plans to do now in Elder Scrolls is unknown. However, updates continue to come in, which also bring new achievements. The player will still have plenty to do if he wants to keep his 100%.
