Skyrim Max Sneak AFK and Manual Way 

I forgot to mention that people on console can rubberband their stick for the AFK spot. Important Parts AFK Sneak 0:40 Guardian Stones 2:15 Dragonsreach 2:40 AFK spot 3:55 More efficient tip 4:30 Sneak 100 (It will take around 2 hours) Manual Sneak 5:50 Guardian Stones 6:12 Helgen 6:50 Ivarstead 7:20 Seven thousand steps 7:47 High Hrothgar 8:40 The method

I think the default key to "automove" is C key (so you don't have to worry about getting a heavy object potentially damaging your beloved keyboard in the long run). Great video! 🎉

Imagine just standing outside of the mine doing guard-duty, because it's finally your turn, and you're tired of chipping rocks in a damp and cold cave, especially when it's really nice outside. So you're at the start of your shift, you hear nonsense in the far distance... kinda' sounds like thunder... then you see what you could swear is either the biggest bird you've ever seen, OR it's a dragon. Then half-an-hour later, a naked man comes running up out of nowhere, and beats you to death with his bare-hands. Hell, you've got an axe, and nothing - _NOTHING!_ - stops this lunatic. And as your dying, you can't help but wonder if there's some sort of connection between the day's events... did the dragon have anything to do with the mysterious, naked, invincible murderer?? Then your eyes close for the final time. ... only to be woken up by a man in the wagon saying, "You're finally awake...."

You can do the Sneak Attack version much earlier than High Hrothgar, on the NPC you follow from Helgen. Play through the intro, follow either Ralof or Hadvar, and when you get to the bear, and your "companion" is crouched down, equip an Iron Dagger and go to town on him. The first few levels may require you to duck behind a rock before activating Sneaking to get the Sneak Attack bonus, but once you have one perk point added, it should be just a case of continually slashing him. He gets staggered, but never dies and never aggros on you. Sneak goes from 15 to 100 in half an hour, and you will get One Handed levels as well. Once Sneak is maxed, kill the bear and off you go, level 17 right off the bat. This is the way... I start all my characters now. XD

Imperial soldiers carry daggers. If you loot the key from the imperial officer before Ralof does (focus her down and loot while Ralof is taking care of the soldier), you can quickly and safely get 100 Stealth in the first room of Helgen Keep.

While escaping Helgen at the start before killing or sneaking past the bear that's where I level my sneak

These methods are great, though they are soley useful if youve already got an existing character outside of the Helgen tutorial area. If you havent left the cave at the end of the Helgen dungeon, then you take sorta take Ralof or Hadvar into a corner by a rock, crouch to sneak and repeat a similar process without fear of repercussion (as is the case with the Greybeards method). Theres maybe just a particular spot to get your ally to crouch into thats a little tedious at first but necessary to stop them from moving too much when being hit

straight to the point, no blabbering, no ads, no self promo... man I love it here!

The other reason to quicksave before the fast method is that if you hit them when you’re detected they will attack you and likely kill you. More importantly, if they attack you, you will never get to talk to them again.

I remember rubberbanding my controller in high school with oblivion. There was a room in the first dungeon out of the tutorial that was full of rats that couldn’t see you no matter what.

you can do the second one during the helgen escape by attacking whoever you chose to escape with

Damn i love this channel. are you going to make a guide on all skills to 100?

Your guides are immaculate, ty boss

Faster yet in the tunnel at the very beginning of the game, at the "sneak past the bear" portion, walk who ever you decided to join escaping into the water before the land bridge so they get pinned against it when you repeated back stab them. Set the diff. to legendary as shown here. Also can level 1 hand ( obviously ) and destruction. All before you ever start to explore Skyrim.

Dragonsreach already has enough shady stuff in it with the whispering lady... Now it has a naked weirdo creeping in the corner for hours on end.

Cool guide, I hope to see more guide like these quick and easy ways to level up a skill. Sometimes its quite tiring and boring to level up some skills.

You can afk level your stealth to 100 before leaving helgen. Takes a while, but it works just fine. Crouch into sneak mode, park yourself facing a wall in the bear cave and - on PC - use the auto walk key (c by default). Then just go watch tv or play on your phone or what not. You just have to be careful to make sure you're walking into the all in a stable spot far enough from the bear that you don't wake it up, but close enough that you get sneak xp: and also - a spot that you won't begin to slide along the wall towards or away from the bear, otherwise you'll have either wasted your time or got too close to it and it will murder you while you're afk.

another good method is the tutorial ralof trick. just get to the bit with the bear, where he says "Wait a minute, there's a beeear up a head" , and start sneak attacking him. you can get max sneak, and he will never attack you, even if he detects you. you can also (now that i think of it) use him to power level one handed, bows (not infinitely, since you will eventually run out of ammo), and destruction magic. (you can't really level anything else, since you won't have access to anything else at that point, unless you have a mod that adds stuff.)

ive used afk sneak since morrowind and its normally something i set up before going to sleep. it takes around 4 hours to max sneak before finishing the tutorial and leaving the cave. ya that's so much better XD wish it worked in the earlier games.

You can also do the sneak attack spam on Jarl Balgruuf during the Dragon Rising quest when he's leaned over on the table upstairs.

You can also do the backstab thing with hadvar or if you are a stinky stormcloak with rallof, in the part of sneaking past the bear at helgen, he will not move if you not, just put in legendary dificulty and stab the hell out of them

You can do that manual method on which ever soldier you decide to follow through the Helgen cave and have your sneak maxed out before you even exit the cave. Of course you wouldn't have the benefit of the thief stone that way though.

Idk if it works on pc, nor if its any faster, but the way i have always leveled up sneak is before you even leave helgen. As soon as you go with ralof or hadvar (i usually go with ralof) take the key from the guards body to stop him from progressing, or dont loot the chests for hadvar if i remember correctly. Put your game into legendary so that they heal fast, and just sneak attack them. Before level 30 (i think) you have to time it, but after you can just spam attack and level up sneak.

my personal favorite way is to beat the hell out of hadvar/ralof with daggers at the point in helgen with the bear

nice video

Thank-you!

I always do the same process, but right when you get the sword, in helgen keep. Just dont open the door, and hit Hadvar like this for about 25 minutes, and it's done.

Good stuff!

I just did the greybeard sneak exploit and found out that if you manage to swap difficulties and run away from the greybeards and go do something else for a while their agression gets reset and you can go back to the exploit

The guide was awesome! What does AFK mean?

What I want to see is a Restoration guide to 100 in under 30 minutes. That skill is so tedious to max, even with the mystic tuning gloves. Do you have a Restoration guide?

I use my mic as my audio device and keep the zero latency monitoring enabled so I know if it's on or not. You eventually get used to hearing your own voice 24/7 lol

"ugh... Air freshener..." 🤣🤣🤣

Use calm spell on enemy Sneak attack with dagger Use calm spell again Sneak attack again Repeat until godhood

You could in theory, wield a dagger in one hand a heal other resto spell in the other and stab, stab, stab, stab, heeeeeeeeeal. repeat.

You can do this in the Helgen caves with the bear. {:o:O:}

nice guide. Any tips for alchemy, enchanting, and one-handed?

It's not much easier to simply stand on Ralof's back when he follows you in the turial. In the bear part, you set the difficulty to the maximum and you dedicate yourself to making attacks in stealth and thus you avoid having to go to Whiterun and to where the gray beards, you can do the same and increase the skill of one-handed or two-handed swords, it is the only part where a follower will not attack you if you hit him

Make sure to get the backstab trait as soon as you can, because you get more XP the more damage that you do.

in markarth city there is was 2 chest (Hidden under ground,, First gate u spawn). even i see it but i can't reach it.

u r cool. ty

btw,manual method still work after latest patches(either official and unofficial)?

Well you don't really need the dagger, you can use your fists.

Only problem with this is by the time your done all the enemies are harder to kill cause your wespons and armor are dudu caca

you forgot to sleep for 8 hrs in a bed, would be faster. Plus you go up the mountain until the weather stops you, equip healing and walk in the storm and keep healing.

If you turn the difficulty to legendary and sneak attack Ralof for about 10 minutes you can have sneak and one handed maxed before leaving helgen. He wont attack you back and on legendary he heals faster than you can damage him.

Since xp is higher with a higher dmg, why do you set difficulty to novice? That only means it takes longer to increase xp, right..?

Did u quick save without goin in the menu if so which key is that?

You don't need to put a heavy object on your key. C is the auto run key.

What happened to Ralof or Hadvar? {:o:O:}

Does the last method train weapons too?

How long do I have to wait if I’m level 80?

Is there no Auto-Move on Console? {:o:O:}

Which corner gives me archery 100?

AFK = ???

There is a much easier way

bro u can just lvlup ur sneak to 100 at helgen dungeon by stabbing the dude that u followed using dagger would be faster :/

wait... 12 minute manual for afk setup? I'd rather just play the game
