The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimcame out over a decade ago, but it is still being played by fans all around the world. It has been re-released multiple times on various platforms, keeping it fresh in the minds of the audience.Skyrimwas a genre-defining open-world gameback in 2011, and most other games have not been able to successfully replicate the features that made it so engaging.
Skyrimwas indeed filled with bugs and glitches when it came out, but aside from all of the game-breaking issues present in the PS3 version, most of them often only resulted in funny clips. Users have been sharing videos ofSkyrimglitches for years now and one such hilarious encounter, involvingthe infamous giants of Skyrim, has just been posted online.

The video has been posted by user Fe4R_Tteft on the subreddit forThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. It features Tteft trying to kill a giant, while being in stealth, with a bow and arrow. The first arrow seemingly depletes over half of the giant’s HP, and the second shot initiates a special kill cam. At that moment, the giant is thrown into the air and starts spinning around at a ridiculously high speed. A few seconds later, the giant stabilizes and simply falls to the ground with a last-second grunt that adds to the hilarity of the situation.
Giants can be annoying to deal with early on, so fans in the comment section are pleased to see one being subjected to this glitch. One user makes references to the “Helicopter, Helicopter” meme from TikTok, while “It’s not a bug it’s a feature” and “It just works” are often found in the comment section of such videos.
The physics engine ofSkyrim, and perhaps games developed by Bethesda Game Studios in general, frequently results in some hilarious clips. A similarly absurd video, featuringa giant riding a dragon inSkyrim, was also uploaded on the subreddit a couple of months ago. According to the one of the comments on the post, such sightings are surprisingly common in the world ofSkyrim.
