Skyrim Speedrunner finishes the story in just over an hour to set a new world record

Skyrim Nucular’s speedrunner broke his own world running record in Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, finishing the story in just an hour and 12 minutes. Even more impressive, this speedrun was completed without relying on glitches.

As reported by PCGamer, you can check out Nucular’s full speedrun on YouTube. Nucular also detailed his speedrunning strategies in the comment section of his video. For example, play as High Elves because they have the fastest movement speed.

According to IGN’s sister site How Long to Beat, it takes 33 and a half hours to complete the main story. So Nucular’s new record is significantly faster.

Skyrim is celebrating its 10th anniversary this month, and speedrunning has been part of the game’s community since the very beginning. Prior to its November 2011 launch, Bethesda employees held an internal competition to see who could finish the game faster. The winner completed the game in 2 hours, 16 minutes and 10 seconds. So after 10 years, Nucular was able to halve that original time with its new world record.
