This is a speedrun to beat Alduin with a new character, a Khajiit named moon alchemist. This "True Any%" category has a special rule: although we need to complete the game from a new character, we're allowed the help of a different character, a Nord named dummy saves, who will reach across from a parallel universe to lend his aid to moon alchemist. So what's special about dummy saves and how can he help moon alchemist beat the game in 7 minutes? Well, most of the saves that I made as dummy saves are made in the Dead Loading state. You can activate the dead loading state by drinking a Fortify Health potion, and then eating enough ingredients with a Ravage Health effect, like Congealed Putrescence, that the effect would normally kill you, but you are kept alive only by the Fortify Health potion. When you load a save while in this state, you get a glitched loading screen where certain HUD elements remain active during the loading screen. I wrote a section about Dead Loading on the UESP article for Skyrim's glitches: en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Glitches#Dead_Loading This speedrun also exploits a very interesting technique for killing Alduin without Dragonrend that was discovered by Sickliff. Here's the video he made about it: th-cam.com/video/I24RLhUgdZ4/w-d-xo.html I'm able to get extreme potion effects fairly quickly using the Khajiit/Worn Shrouded Cowl variant of superstacking. Sickliff also made a video about that: th-cam.com/video/e-DeXia4LL8/w-d-xo.html
