Skyrim Player Uses Mod to Send Giant Flying With Club

One of the most engaging aspects of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is the large variance of creatures for players to encounter and fight against. With a cacophony of different monsters that appear throughout different regions of Skyrim, players are guaranteed to run into enemy monsters at some point. Although, one of the most irksome, yet often times hilarious, monsters that players can fight are giants.

While there is a significant amount of lore surrounding Skyrim's giants, what many players likely remember about giants is there ability to send players flying through the air after having the giant slam their club on the ground. This glitch often occurs after the giant has killed the player, making giants rather difficult enemies to fight against, especially at lower levels. However, thanks to a mod, one player has found an ingenious workaround.

A Reddit user named Kadraeus downloaded a Skyrim mod that allows the player to pull out a club identical to the size and shape of the clubs the giants carry around. The player then proceeds to hit the giant into the sky, similar to how giants typically send players up into the sky whenever they swing their clubs directly down on the player.

Not only does this serve as an excellent example of comeuppance, but it also illustrates how much of Skyrim influences its community of fans. It's clear that plenty of players have had similar encounters where giants hit them so hard they get sent flying into the air, to the point where an entire mod was inspired by it. The fact that Skyrim players are still referencing the 'arrow to the knee' joke a full ten years after the game's initial release goes to show how much of an impact
