One of the most engaging aspects ofThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis the large variance of creatures for players to encounter and fight against. With a cacophony of different monsters that appear throughout different regions ofSkyrim, players are guaranteed to run into enemy monsters at some point. Although, one of the most irksome, yet often times hilarious, monsters that players can fight are giants.
While there is a significant amount oflore surroundingSkyrim’sgiants, what many players likely remember about giants is there ability to send players flying through the air after having the giant slam their club on the ground. This glitch often occurs after the giant has killed the player, making giants rather difficult enemies to fight against, especially at lower levels. However, thanks to a mod, one player has found an ingenious workaround.

AReddituser named Kadraeus downloaded aSkyrimmod that allows the player to pull out a club identical to the size and shape of the clubs the giants carry around. The player then proceeds to hit the giant into the sky, similar to how giants typically send players up into the sky whenever they swing their clubs directly down on the player.
Not only does this serve as an excellent example of comeuppance, but it also illustrates how much ofSkyriminfluences its community of fans. It’s clear that plenty of players have had similar encounters where giants hit them so hard they get sent flying into the air, to the point where an entire mod was inspired by it. The fact thatSkyrimplayers are still referencing the ‘arrow to the knee’joke a full ten years after the game’s initial release goes to show how much of an impactSkyrimhas had on so many players.
It’s amazing how much longevitySkyrimhas managed to maintain, despite its age. Very few other games can claim to have held a captive audience for ten years. The fact thatSkyrim Anniversary Editionhas received so much attention and success shows just how prevalentSkyrimstill is in the hearts and minds of so many members of the gaming community.
In any case, it will be interesting to see what the future holds forThe Elder Scrollsseries going forward. GivenSkyrim’songoing popularity, it’s clear thatThe Elder Scrolls 6has some enormous shoes to fill. Though, the lack of any sort of development update from Bethesda has been rather odd for some players. With any luck, new information regarding the development ofThe Elder Scrolls 6will be released soon.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Editionis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
