When you're aware of how some of the tricks work, even just a few, it becomes much more logical all the sudden. The 2 main things are that there's a horse dismount glitch that gives a lot of speed to the charater. Additionally you can transfer speed through saves with some quicksaving/quickloading tricks. So he does that to move around fast. Which is why he keeps loading the save with the horse and then back the the save he was at.
i wonder if theres anyone watching this who actually understands the strategy and is judging whether hes doing good or not. me im just sitting here like wtf is happening
@@LilChaosSapphire That horse dismount gives the actor a shit ton of speed, he then uses load warping and other menu related glitches to transfer that speed to an actor at a different location/on a different save. If you mean when he goes to Bleak falls barrow I think that was to get things to sell for the 250 gold to Raven Rock? Dunno how he was casting firebolt without losing magika tho maybe he got a scroll and I didn't notice lol

@goggles789 You’re correcting the giggly guy because what he said was meant to be funny. He knows he doesn’t desintegrate but he said it for fun to make people giggle and not to trigger the goggles who doesn’t gig. I guess..
Last time I tried to make a character I made it me and I was hit with a gigaton of dysphoria outta nowhere so now I don't make characters that look like me
Soul trap Karstaag first. The Dev team didn't prepare for situations like putting dead Nords in Sovangarde, or soul trapped people in the soul cairn, but neat idea for roleplay, I guess.

@@eamonhoschette1208 if I'm gonna guess it was a glitch he used to stack multiple of the 50% magic regen enchants from the robes during those few seconds he was in lucan Valerius' shop 4:17
Yeah, he stacked a load of fireball scrolls from BFB, equipping it while leaving it in the chest. It's similar to the merchant glitch, I think he explained it in a comment chain somewhere.
this whole speedrun felt like the dragonborn was screaming "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" but here 5:09 he finally got a moment to relax and appreciate the- 5:58 "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" nvm
Yeah I ended up really enjoying it. Finally a use for the fireball scroll in BFB too which is cool and good to have documented in a run since it should be useful for other categories like Civil War.
@VailWasTaken Yeah, it's the same glitch as opening the vendor's inventory in sell mode except you open the chest in equip mode, equipping the scroll while leaving it in the chest.
Like 5 years ago I asked a streamer who was speedrunning Skyrim what he thought about a karstaag Speedrun and he said it was a stupid idea. I'm glad someone is doing it 🙂
this is the fucking pinnacle of gaming, this video will certainly set the pace of generations of children to come. this will most definitely affect the trout population in Ohio
Man legit just killed the hardest boss in the game at level 1 and i cant even kill him with the super broken Windshear + Mehrunes dagger combo at level 35
Imagine being a hunter and some naked elf pushes you of your horse gets into a certain position with it, and gets yeeted away like this 2:28 and flies somewhere into the sky while you are being attacked by bandits.
this was so fast, i didnt get the part where he suddenly became able to shoot unlimited super strong fireballs with dual casting, all the other "moves" i remember from the "can you beat skyrim without walking" that one was hilarious and it explained every freaking trick in skyrim existence, subjectively ... were the fireballs just some scroll duplication and putting them on hotkey?
Late to the party. But there's an inventory glitch where you trick the game into thinking the chest's inventory is your inventory, similar to the vendor glitch. That way you can equip the scrolls while they are still in the chest. This lets you use the scroll without actually possessing it, which breaks the check for whether to unequip it after use.
Kinda wanna ask, what's the most difficult speedrun you've had to do in terms of pure timing? I'd imagine most of these glitches and exploits require incredibly precise timing to get them correct. Which one took you the most tries to get the record?
I'd say All Guilds was probably the most difficult overall, it has so many different precise tricks and glitches and requires a ton of game knowledge. Second would be Main Quest, it has the most difficult more condensed sections, like the first 7 minutes in particular. The one that took the most tries I've done would be Oblivion Any%, not because it's hard but because it's RNG hell.
@@Waz That's really interesting! I think that watching you break down your world record main quest video was really cool because you do a lot of things, like you mentioned, that aren't clear what the purpose is. Horse-tilting for example you use a lot and you can see it's for velocity, but something like grabbing a bowl in the Helgen dungeon is strange to me because it's not clear why. Your videos are really fascinating to watch though, awesome job.
@@magentazero266 bowls and buckets can be used to clip through geometry, combine that with horse tilt for stored velocity and you got Skyrim equivalent to BLJ

The most incredible of the challenge: the game didn't crash once.
Vanilla Special Edition is like that... despite them not fixing a single damn bug the LE.
Its all because of his pc's hardware.
If you use mods, clean them. Once all my mods were cleaned and ordered properly my game didn’t crash anymore
I have over 100 mods running on my skyrim and it doesn't crash. Just keep it clean and free of conflicts

At no point in this speedrun did i have a single clue what was going to happen next and it was great
He spent more time in the cinematic when he arrived in Raven Rock than the entire game
