Just above Slightless Pit on the mountain is an alter with a skeleton on it. Travel southwest from Winterhold to a location called "Sightless Pit". Once in Winterhold, immediately turn right. This will also maximize your Sneak skill, and whatever weapon type you are using. Repeat the process to level up as much as desired. He also never dies, so it can be done indefinitely. When he gets up, he will have no knowledge that you hit him. Do a heavy strike, and he will stumble to the floor. Equip your strongest sword or weapon that you want to increase the skill level for, and sneak behind him until he cannot see you. Then, save the game just in case there is a problem during the next part. If he is not, just wait until he comes upstairs. Sigrid and the young girl should remain downstairs, and Hadvar will be upstairs. Go to Riverwood village, and find Alvor & Sigrid's house. If you leveled the One-Handed, Sneak, Two-Handed, and Destruction skills to level 100 using this method, you should have 37 perk points and be at level 37 to start the game. To level up the Destruction skill, keep burning Hadvar. Note: Do not press while doing this or Hadvar will move on. Once you reach the area with the bear where Hadvar gives you the bow and arrow, keep hitting Hadvar with the two-handed sword to easily level up the Two-Handed skill. To level up the Two-Handed skill, progress a little further in the game, and get the two-handed sword. Once you reach level 33 for the Sneak skill, you can simply sit behind him and hit him with the sword every six seconds. To level up the Sneak skill, keep sneaking up on Hadvar while he stands by the door, and then attack him with the sword. Once you knock him down, make sure to not hit him anymore until he gets back up. Then, simply keep hitting Hadvar with the sword as he stands by the door to keep leveling up the One-Handed skill. Grab the iron sword off the wall in the room. When you reach the part in the tutorial at the beginning of the game where you choose to enter the keep with either Hadvar or Ralof, choose Hadvar, Have Hadvar cut the bindings off your hands. It is especially useful with expensive books such as the Oghma Infinium. You will now have looted the book twice, putting two of them in your inventory. Immediately close the menu, and you can click on the book itself to read and then take it. Once you see the book in front of you (it will hover in front of the shelf while the menu is open), loot the book from the shelf in the menu. If your book has not yet physically appeared on the shelf, wait at the menu screen where you can loot the bookshelf. Leave the menu, then immediately activate the bookshelf again. Activate the bookshelf, then place the desired book to be duplicated on it. This trick requires that you own a house with an alchemy lab. Thus, if you want to duplicate a different armor set, you will need to use a different mannequin. Note: Whichever armor set you first put on a mannequin will remain there you will not be able to switch it out. Go back to the room, and the armor will have been duplicated on the mannequin. Next, take the armor off the display, then leave the room again. Place the desired armor set to be duplicated on the mannequin, then leave the room. Once the armory has been constructed, you will be able to display armor on the mannequins inside. This glitch requires that you own a new home plot in the "Hearthfire" DLC. Leave the location of the mannequin, and go to a different area (for example, exit a house), then return to the mannequin to find the item still on the mannequin, which you can then take. Then, put the item back into your inventory. Place any apparel item (armor or jewelry for best results) on a mannequin. Repeat this as many times as desired to get as much skill level gain as desired. Store the book on the shelf, then take the book back off the shelf, and select it, but do not read it. Read the Oghma Infinium book, then select the skill set to assign the skill gain. Go to your house, and open the bookshelf. Obtain the Oghma Infinium book, but do not read it.
