One of these details was recently shared by the TikTok channel gamingeastereggs, which showed off a morbid trick that Skyrim players can pull off in Whiterun. As shown in the video, if Skyrim players kill one of Whiterun’s citizens, or if they die by other means, the victim will have a burial urn appear in Whiterun’s Hall of the Dead after a few days. Skyrim players can let time pass naturally or use the helpful “wait” feature to speed things up.

After enough time has passed, the dead Skyrim NPC will have a burial urn appear in the Hall of the Dead. Players are then table to loot it and take the items that the character had on them at their time of death. It’s probably easier to simply loot the corpses of the characters instead, but either way this is an interesting detail that it seems many players didn’t notice in their time playing the game.

However, it must be pointed out that this isn’t a quirk exclusive to Whiterun. On the contrary, this can be pulled off in the other Skyrim cities as well as long as they have their own Hall of the Dead. Most of the major Skyrim cities have a Hall of the Dead handy, so players have some options if they decide to recreate this trick. The only major Skyrim cities without a Hall of the Dead are Dawnstar, Morthal, and Winterhold.

Since the launch of Skyrim - Anniversary Edition, many players are revisiting the game and discovering these tricks for the first time. Besides this morbid grave robbing trick, Skyrim players have also discovered ways to level up fast and to completely avoid fall damage. Skyrim players have also discovered an Indiana Jones-style trick they can pull off with pressure mechanisms in the game to avoid being hit by traps.

Skyrim’s massive open world ensures that players will often find something new when they play, even if they’ve already played it extensively. It will be interesting to see if Bethesda’s upcoming Starfield sci-fi RPG has nearly as much depth as Skyrim has been shown to have over the years.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
