Given thatThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis already more than a decade old, veteran players of the action RPG still suffer from dangerous encounters and horrible deaths in-game, let alone the newbies who are juststarting their playthrough inSkyrim. Recently, a player shared their brand-new experience playing through the open-world title and showed how they died a painful death when they encountered a Frost Giant in their adventure for the first time.
One of the main advantages ofSkyrimbeing on the market for as long as it has is that it is available across many platforms and devices. Long-time players have the choice of where they can playSkyrim, and players who have been eager to try out the iconic action RPG can finally access them in whatever form that they choose. This is likely why Bethesda continues to come out withspecial editions forSkyrim,to keep hardcore fans hooked and to intrigue new players about the game.

On Reddit, user Jestrabova shared a short clip of their first-time experience playingSkyrim.In the video, the player’s Dragonborn character can be seen gearing up to face off with one of the moredangerous monsters inSkyrim, the Frost Giant. Though slow and with easy-to-predict movements, giants inSkyrimcan easily knock players away and kill them, especially if they are not equipped with the proper weapons and protective gear. And this can be seen in Jestrabova’s footage, where they are sent flying into the air when the Frost Giant hits them with their club.
Beginners toSkyrimwould likely not be aware that Frost Giants were added to the base game aspart of theSkyrimDLCDawnguard. Found in fixed locations, these enemies drop different special items exclusive to the expansion. One commenter on the Reddit thread informed Jestrabova about this, just in case they may encounter another one in their adventures again. Otherwise, other players on the Reddit thread seemed to enjoy reminiscing about their own dangerous encounters with Frost Giants inSkyrimwhile watching Jestrabova’s clip.
It seems likeSkyrimplayers are still learning something new about the old title, given how many Redditors have commented on the thread that they did not know Frost Giants were part of theDawnguardDLC. With two other expansions forSkyrim, there are likely other features that some of the game’s community members may not be aware of yet. This means there are more things to look forward to in their nextSkyrimplaythrough.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis available now for PC, PS3, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
