The speedrunner employs sneaky mobility and clever tactics, such as using the "Staff of Paralysis" to incapacitate hunters and enhance combat efficiency.Strategies and Schemery
Throughout the video, the speedrunner Zoe navigates through various locations like Riften and Dawnstar, showcasing different strategies tailored to each situation:- Combat with NPCs: Utilizing the environment to gain an advantage, the speedrunner carefully plans each attack, choosing when to engage or avoid combat, especially against higher-level NPCs.
