A player of Bethesda’sThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimshares that they were able to absorb the soul of the dragon they were fighting before they were able to kill it. Many fellow fans will likely find this player’s experience funny and interesting, given that the Dragonborn can onlyabsorb the souls of dragons inSkyrimafter they have been defeated.
This 2022,Skyrimis celebrating its 11th anniversary. Despite the game already being 11 years old, the player base continues to generate content about the action RPG. To this day, many within the community have produced game-changingSkyrimmods that level up player experiences. However, other fans also seem content in discovering new ways to play through the game’s story and side quests or experiencing glitches that provide entertainment for fellow community members.

Sharing a short video clip on Reddit, user WeswePengu showed that they were able to absorb a dragon’s soul inSkyrimwithout having to defeat it. In the footage, the Redditor’s character is seen fighting off one of the regulardragons found inSkyrimand slowly bringing down its health. Suddenly, without its HP bar being fully depleted, the dragon triggered the in-game animation that indicated that its soul was being absorbed by the Dragonborn. However, the dragon stayed alive, and the player had to fend off its skeleton which was still flying around them.
TheSkyrimcommunity had some questions for the Redditor regarding what they experienced in the game. A commenter asked if they were able to absorb anotherSkyrimdragon soul after they finally killed it, but WeswePengu shared that they only got one dragon soul. Another comment mentioned that the player had uncovered the lore behind the Skeletal Dragon which can be found in aquest from the College of Winterhold. Others just had fun with WeswePengu’s experience, likely reveling in the many bugs and glitches the community has encountered in the game. One commenter even stated that there is likely aSkyrimversion of Murphy’s law and that if a “bug can happen, it will happen.”
With WeswePengu sharing that they were able to prematurely suck out a dragon’s soul inSkyrim, the rest of the community will probably be on the lookout for this glitch on their own playthrough. Given how tough it can be for players to kill dragons inSkyrim, being able to get a precious dragon soul without having to fight one off is likely a welcome experience.
