A Reddit user named BlackTearDrop has shared an image describing one of theachievements players can earn inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Titled Legend, it tasks gamers with killing a legendary dragon in the game, but the image reveals that only 4% of the user base has unlocked this achievement. BlackTearDrop appears surprised at the seemingly low percentage, but fans in the comments section offer various plausible reasons for this number.
Users should note that legendary dragons only begin to appear in the world ofSkyrimafter players have reached at least level 78. It can take a long time for gamers to reach this level, and it looks like fans would havefinishedSkyrim’s story as well as a majority of questslong before they get to level 78 and beyond.
One user mentions that theycompleted everything inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimin 150 hours but had only managed to reach level 58, while another fan claims to have leveled up to 78 in 290 hours. It looks like most players agree that customers will either finishSkyrimor drop the game way before they can start fighting legendary dragons, which may be a big reason for this low percentage.
Furthermore,using mods while playingThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimdisables the achievements system, so it wouldn’t unlock for gamers even if they had defeated a legendary dragon. As mods have contributed toSkyrim’s longevity throughout these years, users who have played the game for such a long time may be unable to get the achievement. In the end, fans appear to agree that getting to a level 78 is a massive grind.
