Skyrim Infinite XP Glitch: Start At Max Level

Skyrim has hundreds of ways to level up the Dragonborn. Fire an arrow from the top of a tower and topple a tiny army, charge at a dragon completely naked, with only a fork equipped. Whatever your preference, we can all agree that a Skyrim infinite XP glitch is one of the best ways, especially if it’s at the start of the game!

How to do the Skyrim infinite XP glitch

Step 1

Start a new game and make your way through Helgen like normal.

Step 2

When given the option to go with either the Stormcloak or the Imperial, you can choose either for this glitch.

Step 3

During the fights, find yourself a weapon, preferably for a skill tree you wish to max out.

Step 4

Once you enter the cave with your companion, get to the section with the sleeping bear.

Step 5

Don’t walk past, or attack the bear. Stay at the entrance to that room.

Step 6

Equip your weapon.

Step 7

Crouch, and position yourself behind your companion (the Imperial or the Stormcloak.)

Step 8

Turn your difficulty setting to the max.

Step 9

Hit your companion while sneaking, this will level up your sneak skill ridiculously fast, as well as boosting the one-handed, archery or two-handed skill, depending on what weapon you’re hitting him with.

Step 10

Keep repeating this process until you max out your sneak and combat skills

Bonus tip: Once a level reaches 100, you can make it Legendary to start it from the beginning. This will give you all of your skill points back, so you can use them later in the game.

This Skyrim infinite XP glitch works the same way as the Greybeards sneak glitch. Both glitches require the player to start off slowly, swinging the weapon every few seconds. Your sneak skill will level up with every hit that connects. The higher your sneak skills gets, the less likely you’ll be caught out for stabbing a friendly.
