Getting throughout water in Skyrim is a little bit of a headache. It’s a must to both slowly swim alongside or parkour throughout a collection of scattered ice islands which have gaps too huge to leap over. However what when you may simply run throughout the waves?
That is what u/ARXEUS_ is doing, as shared in a publish on the Skyrim subreddit merely titled, “Didja know you are able to do this?” All you want is a horse (however watch out, a few of them are narcs). When you’re swimming with it, dismount, float again up, get on the horse once more, and voila, you may be operating as if you by no means entered the water.
It seems just a little wonky provided that it is a bug, however in essence, the house beneath the horse’s hoofs turns into land, that means you could dash alongside in deep water as if it had been shallow. When you’re taking part in on Survival mode or with mods that make chilly water a life-threatening hazard, getting throughout it rapidly is significant, and this seems to be one of the simplest ways to do exactly that.
The OP did this in Skyrim’s Anniversary Version, however the bug has been round since launch and has been found and rediscovered a couple of occasions. That being mentioned, with so many gamers leaping in because of the AE, it is information to most – the feedback alone are full of thanks, particularly from those that are taking part in in Survival mode.
Granted, there’s at all times the chance with bugs and water that you just kill your trusty steed, and if you do not need that to occur, you’ll be able to unlock Shadowmere from the Darkish Brotherhood questline. They’re an immortal horse with glowing crimson eyes that rises from some unusual black tar exterior a speaking skull-faced door, so a fast run throughout the ocean is nothing compared.
Subsequent time you are popping alongside to Septimus Signus’ icey hideout, deliver a horse and do this little exploit out. It needs to be a bit extra manageable than swimming.
