For anybody skeptical of this, I can confirm it works, I leveled up 20+ sneak levels in 30 minutes.

It's amazing that Bethesda never patched this. Then again, they never patched the Whiterun chest as well.

I used to be an adventurer like you. But then I got stun locked into oblivion by the greybeards

Really helpful and straight to the point! Appreciate this vid a lot good sir

Still works as of February 28th, 2024!! This is so helpful I literally leveled up from 30 to 57 in about an hour and a half. And I could keep going if I wanted to and I will I’m just taking a break. But this is gonna help so much with trying to get to level 78 for the Legendary dragon achievement. Appreciate the guide Bro!

I took your idea and this can actually be done right in the very beginning once you make your way with Ralof to the keep. After you kill the 2 guards to acquire the key go down the hallway and look for an iron dagger in the wardens chest is where I found mine. Then proceed back to the main entrance, change difficulty to legendary and proceed to eviscerate Ralofs side gaining 100 sneak in as little as 15-20 minutes. No need to autosave either as even when he faces you he will not attack you. Just dont open the door. Figured I'd share this lol happy leveling. And thanks for the idea, this is on the 360 legendary edition btw

Another thing u can do to augment this to make it faster is to complete the right tree of sneak and get the 15x dagger damage. Make sure you have healing hands in your left and dagger in right. Then kill the grey beard you are sneak stabbing and he will do a trip like animation. In the middle of that animation, heal him using healing hands. Then just repeat. Also it will help if you have apprentice restoration node unlocked so your length of use is made longer.

The best part about this is that when you legendary the sneak tree you can restart the whole process again and gain even more XP

Jesus I thought this was patched after remastered, thanks for reminding me.

plan backfired, he started brutally started murdering me

I did this same thing, but I did it at the beginning when I'm escaping helgen. Ralof (the person I can escape with), has infinite health when I change the difficulty to Legendary. Since he is simply a "follower" in this mission, he will not get hostile. Was able to get to level 100 in sneak and level 50 (main level). Tested on both Xbox 360 and Ps4

This is the best and easiest way to gain eco and skill points in Skyrim. You are awesome

Im currently 100% the game and this helps a lot that i can be high enough level to legendary dragons to spawn

Thanks. I went from 29 to 41 in 30 minutes ( maximum ) now I have some cool armors
