vro.., we can see you subscribed to doordash specifically for this..
WHY do you start the video off with you talking? are you that delusional?
i mean at 00.0000000001 seconds you are saying something.. why so abrupt? why not chill tf out and give us a few second buffer..
Its so uncanny and un-human to do. so weird.
Your beautiful keep on going😊
The reason why I know these glitches it’s not because of speed running, but because of ymfah’s “no walking” walkthrough of Skyrim.
bro XD same though i ran into a few by accident when i was uh... doing skyrim things. you know... as you do
@@theghost8914I dare you to reveal your mod list.
@@CottidaeSEA when i was doing this it was classic AE. no mods. that said my modlist actually doesnt have any degen stuff. its mostly buffs to the enemies to make the game harder. when legendary feels like novice you gotta turn up the dial a bit
name any difficulty mod and i probably have it installed
@@theghost8914 Pretty much like what I use then. I don't remember the name of the mod, but there's one that I tried which rebalanced magic, quite nice.
@@CottidaeSEA SoT UDE combined with RotE along side a wildcat to change legendary damage taken and dealt to 8x and .25x respectively. that was a good start but i have a few others to make it a tad worse XD
"I quit praying to my god for a week and a half and just straight up died"
I mean, he is the god of death...
@@nalathequeen2186why the dots? Are you depressed?
_"Skyrim: All Glitches"_ category incoming
I don't think humans live that long....
AI running on a quantum-supercomputer would probably break trying to debug this mess
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's just called playing Skyrim
@@scorchbomb Yeah, well you got a point there
Skyrim has a glitchless category?! That's like trying to navigate a minefield
LOL this was my first thought as well: "Is it even possible to have a glitchless category?".
I remember years ago someone tried to make glitchless Ocarina I believe and people criticized it because of what you could consider a glitch or not, glitchless Skyrim is just straight up like trying to speedrun 1 million dollars on a roulette table LMAO How the fuck can you possibly avoid glitches in any bethesda game even for a speedrun. The % chance has to be astronomically low
uhhh its really easy to have a glitchless run, just use the unofficial patch. nearly every longstanding bug is fixed in it.
@@xbon1speed runners typically don’t use mods, or everyone has to have the same set of mods (decided by the community). Everyone needs to have the same version of the game for a speedrun to make sense.
@@gudmundur-heimisson And everyone on PC uses Unofficial Skyrim Patch because it fixes all the bugs the game has? Obviously?
the new route is so fucking funny lmao. you run at hyper speed under the world making quicksaves so you can glitch back to those save positions later by tactically dying
The fact this new glich was discovered but the record was still very strong just emphasised how strong it was in the first place
Pekkanen's multi-save approach is cosmic levels of madlad. Pulling that off perfectly, jeez. That requires a very intimate knowledge of where absolutely every location is in the game, and what it looks like from below the map; along with impeccable timing moving at those speeds. One could maybe say, Impekkanenable timing.
anyone who plays a bethesda game is a glitch hunter
lmaooo literally. their game engines run on hopes and dreams 🤣
I know this is a joke, but Sickiff has spent hundreds of hours pushing on mechanics that seem like they have potential for the express purpose of finding glitches, and very often people fail to give credit or take credit for themselves. He's got a level of game knowledge that very few people have, and deserves recognition.
All Bethesda games are glitchy, the timeline just goes

😂😂😂 so true
I like to refer to us as "glitch people"
I appreciate how obvious it is you are reading a script for that ad. like theres no reason to be on camera for that segment besides to show that, incredible. thank you lunaticj.
Like at the end of every nostalgia critic video he tries to get you to donate to charity but is just sitting at a desk reading off a piece of paper.
@@RedTail1-1is that supposed to be a bad thing?
I love any% runs where explaining the runs takes longer than playing it
The last time I was up to date with Skyrim speedruns DrTChops was performing his GDQ runs and horse tilting was just starting to be implemented 😂
SAME BRO AGDQ 2013-2016 was prime
Buckets.
and he had to cheat due to skill issues xd
Vivec through Chim saw this and said "Nope! I want none of that to involve me!"
turns out that the reason why he eventually disappeared randomly was just because he noped out to avoid dealing with this nonsense
I am a software developer and barely play any games anymore - but I really enjoyed these 18 minutes of pure nerdiness.
Why did you have to flex that your a software engineer?
Edit: I’m a software engineer as well btw. I just found it odd and irrelevant.
@@highfiveshighfives4980why not?
genuinely thank you for sharing your background of being a software engineer, its always great to know where someone is coming from.
edit: *software developer. sorry i was so annoyed by that one guy that i mispoke.
@@highfiveshighfives4980to me, not a software developer, it implies a level of nerdiness that I can’t fully appreciate
I think he was adding context to show how he can appreciate the nuances of programming like edge cases when it comes to development. Im also a hobbyist softwsre engineer who started as a bug abuser, so I understood what he was trying to say.
14:05 brother committed murder in celebration
Fascinating that the blessing of Arkay, the god of life, death, and rebirth, is the one that makes Deadloading runs as efficient as they are.
ghost tilting is extremely useful on my morning commute
Wow it's actually so hype. The trick didn't just unlock a new route that everyone is chasing, it unlocked a ton of *potential* routes that people are trying to figure out what's best. Amazing!
It's so oddly fitting that the blessing required to make Dead Loading viable was the blessing of the God of death, Arkay
A slide-whistle toots in my head every time I see someone fly off of a horse 😭
Everytime I get launched by a giant, an explosion sound plays in my head lol
I swear these people finding and optimizing glitches to me are on the same level as Alan Turing who cracked the Enigma in WW2.
Nah they're not the same. One did a special thing for country with the help of many spies and soldiers who helped gather the enigma intel, the other did a speedrun for popularity with glitches and bugs.
Running under a game's world level/map won't earn you a solid credit, since you'll just be topped by the next glitcher.
@@Roethorn_pb t'es fun en soirée toi 😴
@@Roethorn_pb oh really? 😐
hearing 2020 in reference to something being 4 years old is a flashbang
9:34 extremely suspicious frame out of context i gotta say
From the modding side of things: You would not believe all the bullshit glitches in this game we had to patch just to make basic mods work correctly. Here are a few of the dumber ones:
* Magic effects (usually abilities) that last for longer than ~3 real-world days will stop checking their conditions due to float imprecision (the infamous "ability condition bug") - no speedrun will ever last that long, and vanilla hardly ever puts conditions on abilities in the first place, so it's doubly useless for them, but it's a real pain when a mod wants to use an ability as a low-cost way to regularly check a condition that can't be handled with a Papyrus event.
* The brawl script is bugged and will decide that the player is cheating if any magic effect is applied to the opponent, regardless of whether it is hostile. Nowadays, most mods don't care about this (because we have largely replaced cloak spells with SPID), but I doubt it was ever useful for speedrunning.
* Many quests will randomly softlock you for no apparent reason. Obviously, this is actively harmful to speedrunning.
Drink more water, brush your teeth and get plenty of sleep everybody
I hope this revitalizes Skyrim speed running
14:24 Making the mother of all Dead Warp setups, Jack! Can't fret over every glitch!
Vanellope would be rolling on the floor if she saw just how many glitches are in Skyrim.
I am not a speedrunner myself, but I love watching people get super excited about something as mundane as doors, buckets and horse tilting
"This way to interact with a door... CHANGED EVERYTHING."
reminds me of my first timee skipping the door of time in zelda and fully understanding i would never need the song of time again
Your content changed my perspective on speedrunning and honestly made me appreciate it much more. Keep doing your thing, man!
As far back as 2016 is something i never thought I'd hear.
Ikr. 2016 was like 3 years ago.
@@jakezepeda1267 Crazy to think that 2014 was 35 years ago...
everything before 2016 is The Before Times
0:50 wow ive been using skyui for so long i completely forgot what the vanilla ui looked like 🤮
I never felt it was bad because I'm the kinda guy who just uses one armour set and the same sword for 90% of the game and I sell all uniques and rewards and random collectibles and then buy 5 billion cheese wheels with the money earned
I didn't expect skyrim speedrunning to be so wild. Very interesting stuff.
Welcome to the Creation Engine, a game engine famously full of holes, and Skyrim, a game older than most middle schoolers.
What do you mean broken? It's a perfectly balanced game with no glitches or exploits whatsoever.
3:03 I love how this glitch is straight up some shit that Kirkbride would have some legendary figure do after they achieved CHIM. Amazing
Sickliff's videos are super entertaining and useful, even for casual play. His "100 enchanting" and "paralysis loot" guides are top tier
as a huge skyrim speedrunning fan, I love this video❤❤❤
💪
You're famous now! 😂
@@richardx8202 lol
I love how speedrunning is basically "I spent seven years tinkering to save seven miliseconds"
Dank Slushie is such a good name.
You see, this is what i love about speedrunning. Here you have a computer program that is designed as an immersive, artificially constructed reality. However, ever since this game has been constructed, there has been a series of inputs that will complete the game in the theoretically fastest amount of time under the limitations created by the engine. All of speedrunning can be seen as communities converging on this theoretically perfect series of inputs motivated by competitive athleticism.
Great video dawg!
I can only imagine the level of confusion that someone's grandma would feel if they watched this video
Skyrim
oh hi there girl! Curious to find you out in the wild!
Another Storster banger 🙏
Skyrim
Cant believe skyrim went through 2 Renaissance, a New Era AND a revolution all over the course of this video
HORSE TILT! WOOOOOOOOO! Watching this run at ADGQ this year was spectacular, for the run of course, but that crowd!
I didn't even realize a glitchless speedrun of skyrim was possible. Is it just praying that your game behaves for the duration of the run?
* sees a horse swimming through the air * shit, I have to reset
I've never heard much about Skyrim's speedrunning community. It's always seemed to me that, unless it was in the interest of comedy, Skyrim's players have had a vested interest in REMOVING glitches. Unlike the developers. Ordinarily this is the opposite of course.
Speedrunning is comedy though, doing anything in the name of pure speed is funny.
Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
Meanwhile, last time I saw a Skyrim speedrun, the dude was just running across the map at normal speed. Now they're going supersonic and playing God with space and time.
God how is this game broken in such intricate complex ways
17:44 It's a bethesda game, it could always get more broken. Always
I had this glitch while modding before. I did not know it could be so useful lol
missed opportunity to call "reverse sovngarde" "edragnvos" instead
Imagine praying to another god, and the last god you prayed to just smites you out of spite
Never did I expect to hear Dank Slushie in this video
Fantastic. Subbed :D
I haven't played Elder Scrolls since Morrowind but this is WILD. I love the work that people put in for us normies to enjoy regardless of game or genre.
Dope vid, never seen your stuff before, dropped a sub!
DankSlushie my goat. Insane speedrunner, his BO2 wr is near perfect
yknow back in the good old days of morrowind reinforce health would just straight up kill you since it would take away your health along with your max heealth
Sickliff is sick. Lots of interesting ideas and finds in his videos
Man, one mention of horse tilt and I feel like I might relapse
i recently, accidentally, discovered a BAD glitch:
you know how, when you finish off an enemy with a random Crit, you get a short cutscene?
apparently doing that to a Draugr Deathlord while wielding a Daedric Longsword MAKES THE GAME COMPLETELY FREEZE UP!
i had to ctrl-alt-del out of the game and restart it twice, in five minutes, because of that!
very annoying.
PS: i once accidentally did the "horse leaning" glitch with a Quickload...
summoning salt get on this
The Dead God making running all the more faster.
Speedrunning lore is always goated and mindblowing.
9:19 wait something was discovered on my birthday? Nice
think the bigger thing is that you can just skip to the end boss naked with steel swords and the hardest part of the fight is trying to match your shout with the npc.
Todd Howard you've done it again! It just works!
This was always the intended way to play the game.
I love the use of Zelda music in the intro
I would not be surprised if someone finds a credit warp by inputting a certain combination in the character creator
I like how dankslushie and swagmasterdorritos. Must have both fought in the battle for bikini bottom
Get ready for a return to Skyrim with Tomatoanus. I'm ready.
These guys finish the whole game much quicker than I leave Helgen. 😆😆
Bro must like Halo with that split lip action
This game will never die
Lunatic and skyrim? This is gonna be great 🙏
I highly recommend GDQ run, it's great fun and it turns out you can kill Alduin with a bucket...
Here's something I've never tried in skyrim. Now I have another reason to play for years😂😂
To anyone interested, Pekka is a Finnish name, Pakkanen is frost. Enjoy a random useless bit of info.
Pekkanen is day off from work
Something l didn't quite get. The time you spend setting up the warp is included in the run time, or is it excluded because it belongs to different save file? l´ve seen "speedruns" in other games (FF7, Hollow Knight) that depend on having made a lot of previous progress in other save files and, what can l say, they aren't proper runs in that case. l hope this one isn't like that.
Legends say, that when Skyrim Any% gets down to 15 minutes, they will release Elder Scrolls 6.
someone get yamfah on the phone, he's gonna wanna hear this
This man explained the word by using the word.
Next you should do a video on not wasting your life speedrun
6:20 bros bottom lip is wild
Post what you look like rn
10:08 Kill ALL Jarls? No one ever has the ability to kill Jarl Ballin.
I'm fairly sure slushie was trying out the Windhelm tanning rack route on a recent stream.
pekkanen gonna drop a massive WR live at GDQ callin it
Imagine showing this to people in 1800s
yoo when you brought up dead loading I thought "oh like the sickliff Staff video" then you fucking put him on screen
Skyrim With Multiversal Time Travel
Question, can dead warping be used to progress certain quests.
I love doing the true level 1 playthrough, but there are a few things you just can't accomplish unless you are a character who starts with 20 speech cause it will instant level up your speech from 15 to 16 doing 1 speech check. The problems are, becoming Thane of Riften and Anton Virane for the Dark Brotherhood, both require a speech check, both cannot be skipped. Can this glitch be used to skip / complete them without leveling up speech.
This glitch has been in the game for awhile
It just works.
Speedwun
I remember my party days, brought a girl I liked to my house and ended up Reverse Sovngarding her
Lilu_ broke all their records
It just works
I would actually watch GDQ again if they run this.
