Speaking of bosses, a Reddit user who goes by MuhBoi117 recently uploaded a brief clip of them playing Skyrim, which shows them taking on the mighty frost giant Karstaag. During the fight, it becomes quite clear that the player is highly skilled, and within moments, the boss is slain, much to the surprise of the user themselves. In fact, the clip itself only lasts about 30 seconds, but the fight itself is over in about six.

Given that Karstaag is one of the hardest bosses in Skyrim, it’s a pretty impressive display of swordsmanship. Many commenting in the Reddit thread have said how much they got “absolutely destroyed” by the ghostly giant the first time they encountered them. In fact, the clip itself seems to suggest that MuhBoi117 was not prepared to be able to defeat the creature with relative ease. The brief video ends with them looking around the cave, perhaps in a moment of confusion, before doing a series of victory crouches over the ashes of the fallen enemy.
For those who are perhaps not aware, it’s not possible to come across this boss in the vanilla version of the game as Karstaag can only be found in Skyrim’s “Dragonborn” DLC. This expansion was released in 2012, and offers up a new narrative and quest, with events taking place on the island of Solstheim, which players of The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind may be familiar with.
While it’s not the biggest Elder Scrolls game in terms of map size, Skyrim is easily the most successful entry in the entire franchise. With fans still showcasing their experiences, it really hammers home just how popular this decade-old title still is after all these years.
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
