The fan finished Skyrim in just 72 minutes, the key to success is drinking wine

Speedrunning is a special game discipline that aims to complete the game as quickly as possible. Apart from the basic rules, such as the ban on the use of cheats and modifications in general, there are virtually no restrictions. Speedrunners play completely differently than ordinary people. Where we get carried away by the atmosphere and the surrounding events, they look for all sorts of gaps and weaknesses, whether in terms of design, game mechanics, or level building.

Do you find racing in a computer game strange? Then know that there are also people who spend their free time modeling horse testicles.

So while most people in the iconic RPG Skyrim world have spent tens of hours before they even come within sight of the climax of its story, speedrunners only take a few tens of minutes.

When we talk about this phenomenon they wrote four years ago, was the lowest recorded record of his finishing two hours forty-five minutes. Since then, however, it has been surpassed many times and its newest holder, with just 72 minutes, is a youtuber performing under the nickname nucular.

This impressive result is a combination of many factors that require a thorough knowledge of every aspect of the game. For example, just choosing the right character is important. Nucular chose an elven woman (because the elves have longer steps due to their height) (because they are said to have less annoying sounds than men), which can sometimes lead to up to 18% faster movement. Of course, he also knows every possible shortcut and uses a faster move around the map wherever he can.

In addition, however, it also constantly carries a huge supply of wine, which prevents fatigue. Although its ingestion subsequently slows down regeneration, but since this value can never fall below zero, nucular wine can be poured as far as the throat (and stamina indicator) craves.

Although he reached only the beginner level with his character, he also managed to kill the final boss and thus reach the end of the game in just 72 minutes and fifteen seconds. However, he is already making plans for another attempt, because according to his words he made several mistakes that cost him valuable time. You can see his performance in the attached video, but on the plane – watching it is not much fun.
