A fan of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has found a fun way to climb to the highest spots around the game's major city of Solitude. Taking full advantage of the movement mechanics and issues in Skyrim, they are able to reach the tops of the tallest buildings in the city, making for spectacular views and fun photos to share with fellow fans.

Despite the base game being more than a decade old, Skyrim is still known to host a series of bugs and glitches. However, the player base always seems to make fun of these issues, often sharing their experiences with fellow players to gauge whether or not they have witnessed the same thing. What's more, there are those who like exploiting these issues just to keep their playthrough fun and exciting. Much like this particular fan who used well-known movement tricks in Skyrim to get to the highest points of the buildings found in Solitude.

On Reddit, user Earlgreytea3000 posted several photos of their Dragonborn standing in precarious spots on top of the tallest structures in Skyrim's major city of Solitude. In the images, the character can be seen hanging out on top of the Bard's College, the dome in the Blue Palace, and on top of the Temple of Divines. One photo even had a top-down perspective, showcasing the height that the player was able to reach when they went up the building. According to the Redditor, they did not use any mods or cheats to climb up the buildings, which means they manually moved their character and used the in-game physics to reach these places.

For those who want to know how the Redditor was able to get to such heights, they shared that they used a combination of quick saving and Whirlwind Sprint, one of the Dragonborn Shouts in Skyrim. Once they quick saved in the third-person, they would use the Shout, then quickly reload right before the Dragonborn takes off. This apparently gave them super speed, allowing them to reach the higher spots of tall buildings in Solitude. Comments on the Reddit thread were impressed by Earlgreytea3000's achievement, considering it was done without the use of mods or cheats.

Nevertheless, this is likely not the last time that these players will use creative tricks in Skyrim to get where they want to go. What is great about the action RPG is its open world system, which allows players to freely explore, discover, and do whatever they want to do in the vast expanse of the video game.
