Skyrim Speedrunner Reaches Level 80 and Kills Ebony Warrior in Less Than 12 Minutes
23.04.2024 - 07:57 / ign.com / Ryan Dinsdale
An Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim speedrunner has reached level 80 and killed the infamous Ebony Warrior in under 12 minutes, setting a new world record in the process.
As reported by GamesRadar, YouTuber nucular uploaded a video of the complex but efficient speedrun and their defeat of the legendary Ebony Warrior, an enemy which only appears at Level 80. Reaching this high a level would usually take several hundred hours of normal gameplay, or several dozen of dedicated grinding, but nucular's method takes advantage of a few exploits to reach it in once thought impossible speeds.
Their final time of 11 minutes and 47 seconds comes in a few minutes faster than the previous world record, which was set at 14 minutes and 27 seconds in 2021 by YouTuber Waz. Nucular used a similar method of hastily uploading their Alchemy, Speech, and Enchanting skills to flood experience into their overall level, but added Heavy Armor and Block too to shoot to Level 80.
This prompted the Ebony Warrior to appear and, in just one swift swing of an axe, the legendary enemy was vanquished. But nucular's confident they can achieve the feat even quicker, saying on Reddit it can be accomplished in under 10 minutes using this method and that they'll keep pushing it lower.
With The Elder Scrolls 6 still five years away at least, fans have had to find their own ways, like this, to keep the ageing Skyrim entertaining. Another player recently accrued a 267,000 gold bounty murdering 5,000 NPCs in a quest to kill "everything that was killable", for example, while one fan recreated the game in Age of Empires 2.
Waves of sentimental fans recently booted up their old Xbox 360s and PlayStation 3s to "retire" their original characters too, showing how much Skyrim has remained in player consciousness over its 12 years of being available.
In our 9/10 review of the beloved role playing game, IGN said: "Skyrim is a rare kind of intensely personal, deeply rewarding experience, and one of the best role-playing games yet produced."

Silent Hill 2 Remake “Release Date and Platforms” To be Revealed in the Near Future
When are we finally going to get a release date for the Silent Hill 2 remake? The game is widely expected to launch sometime in 2024, but PR from Konami has been spotty at best. We got a somewhat-questionable trailer back in February (that even developer Bloober Team criticized as not representative of the final game) and as we head deeper into the year, there’s still a lot to be nailed down. The game’s been rated by the ESRB and there are rumors it may pop up at a PlayStation Showcase next month, but Konami themselves have remained silent.

Stellar Blade’s Extensive New Game+ to Offer 34 Exclusive Outfits, New Skills, and More
In recent years, it’s become common for AAA games to hold back their New Game+ modes, often rolling them out as part of a “big update” weeks or months after launch. Well, apparently, that won’t be the case with the upcoming PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade, which will have New Game+ available from launch, and it sounds pretty meaty. In addition to tackling the game at a higher difficulty, players can look forward to learning new skills and earning a bunch of NG+ exclusive outfits for Eve (a hefty 34 all!) We have more details about NG+ below, but first, check out Stellar Blade’s stylish launch trailer.
