Skyrim Speedrunner Sets New World Record, Kills Ebony Warrior in Under 12 Minutes
Skyrim speedrunner ‘nucular’ has achieved a remarkable feat, reaching level 80 and defeating the infamous Ebony Warrior in an astonishing 11 minutes and 47 seconds, setting a new world record in the process.
This achievement is a testament to nucular’s mastery of Skyrim’s mechanics and their ability to exploit certain aspects of the game to their advantage. By utilizing a combination of Alchemy, Speech, Enchanting, Heavy Armor, and Block, nucular was able to rapidly level up their character, bypassing the extensive grinding that would normally be required to reach level 80.
Exploiting the System
Nucular’s method involves exploiting specific in-game mechanics to maximize experience gain. By deliberately enchanting items and selling them at high prices, they were able to quickly boost their Speech and Enchanting skills. Simultaneously, they utilized potions to rapidly level up their Alchemy skill, which in turn allowed them to create more powerful potions for further experience boosts.
Confronting the Ebony Warrior
Reaching level 80 in such a short time triggered the appearance of the Ebony Warrior, a formidable enemy who typically only emerges at that level. Undeterred, nucular engaged the Ebony Warrior in a swift and decisive duel, vanquishing the legendary foe with a single swing of their axe.
Continuous Improvement
Despite their record-breaking performance, nucular remains determined to push the boundaries further. They believe that using their current method, they can potentially achieve the same feat in under 10 minutes. Their dedication and unwavering pursuit of improvement are a testament to the enduring popularity of Skyrim and the vibrant community that continues to explore its depths.
