My favorite part about Ice Spike is that, unlike the other ranged elements, it leaves something sticking out of the enemy. You can make many unicorns out of bandits this way. Also, it's funny to see enemies stuck with multiple spikes in their chest acting like nothing is wrong.
A cryomancer build sounds awesome! The cooler brother of the pyromancer is always fun to play in fantasy games if given the option (which actually isn't super often). I think the only thing I like more in Skyrim in regards to magic, is casting sparks all the time, with the occasional telekinesis spell, pretending to be the Emperor from Star Wars.
Nice video, and of course well done for resisting saying things like "stay frosty", "they needed to chill", "a cool encounter" or "putting the main story on ice". I had an idea for a challenge; "can you beat the entire Henry Stickmin Series without being impolite?".
@@InsaneFrame Interesting, granted I don't know your cultural background and so what is or isn't polite to you I can't say and apart from rescuing Elly if she helps you up I hadn't been sure which actions or endings would be considered impolite.
One of the only issues about Skyrim challenge runs is that enchanting can easily break the game for any build. Even if you don't use exploits, 2 enchants per equipment does a lot.
I have done something similar, BUT improved! I started as a Nord, I become a Vampire Lord, I only use Ice Magic & Ice Enchanted Weapons, I acquire a full set of Stalhrim Heavy Armor enchanted with yet more Ice Resistance, and finally have Stalhrim Weapons with Ice Damage!!!!! I call it the "Ice Queen" build:)
@@InsaneFrame Neat, also that "Ice Queen" uses the Ice Shouts including the "Black Book" Enhancement. As for your Ice Weapons only challenge I wish you luck on that, until you get to at least lvl 80 in Smithing you can't forge/craft Stalhrim which is the best for Ice Enchantments. Additionally, the Destruction Perks related to Ice/Fire/Shock can affect your Enchantment Perks as well as Necromage Perk from Restoration IF you also are Vampire/Vampire Lord.
HEE HO- oh wait wrong Jack Frost. Ice magic is cool, one of my favorite, however vs drauger... Haha no... So probably can, tbh I'm just watching this cause I love your videos.
Thanks for making this video. You execution was absolutely perfect and it answered my question. Always wondered if a Nord Mage that only practiced Frost Magic could beat the game. Just got back into Skyrim. Previously completed it as a Mage and Archer but wanted to try an Orc Warrior. So far he's great and runs over everything. Never killed a harpy so quickly. But Ice Mages are easily his bane. Many times I can barely reach them and they kill me. Kind of tempted to try one but with so many opponents being Frost Resistant wasn't sure if it could be done (Nords, Draugur, Vampires, half of Skyrim's Wildlife, 50% of the dragons, and the dwarven machines especially being completely immune.)
Good to see another Skyrim run! I think it'd be better to regularly play runs in the Elder Scrolls universe, since the tone is a little more hopeful than the barren wastes of Fallout. It's important to stay positive like you help us do! A good run, too. Destruction magic is a tough but fun climb to legendary power. Let edgy jack frost's name be written in the hall of valor forever!
I saw a similar run as Elsa. These always look really fun, too! I wonder what it'll be like to play as Princess/Queen Anna of Arendelle - no armor OR Robes, only Clothes, Fine Clothes or the royal clothes Balgruuf or Elisif wear, no magic and only one-handed swords, specifically only the transparent ones of Labyrintian, the Ghostblade or the Stalhrim Sword.
Nice, I have a challenge. Can you beat Skyrim as Jack Torrance from the Shinning?. I'm thinking Jack Nicholson on this one. Would be really fun to see that. thanks again!!
Throughout all you went through, the horse was indeed the real boss. It was biding it's time for a worthy adversary to fight. Though it was defeated, it will come back, better, faster, stronger... even MORE BETTER and unleash hurt death all throughout Tamriel to become the true Jarl and also establish itself as a god, only to get back at you.
Hey Frame big fan. I have a question for you. How do you manage to do these challenges without getting bored? I have tried playing fallout 4, skyrim, etc multiple times but I always get bored hours in and stop. Love the episode ❤ (:
One of the videos that originally made me like this channel was your Punch Club video because it's a different game than most people usually play. If you want to run Punch Club 2, then I'm sure people will watch it.
"Can you beat Skyrim with ice magic?" Sooooo.....a Cryomancer? Yes, yes you can, despite a decent amount of enemies being resistant to Frost damage, a Cryomancer is still a viable option for a character build
*Can You Beat Fallout 3 Without Karma?* * Not allowed to perform any actions that give Positive or Negative karma. * Must have Neutral karma at all times. * Must get the Impartial Meditation perk. * Must play on Very Hard difficulty. * No companions.
If you run out of ideas you could always use the other two elements but maybe find a character to base it off of like this one so you won't have the same bonus rules
What would u recommend cause it’s something I’ve been having trouble with, had to level up to lvl 13 to beat Mirmulnir without it taking like 15 mins 😭
Great vids. You have a lot of patience. Playing skyrim through is already a lengthy and arduous (albeit fun) task. To go through it in this way is admirable. Do you get attached to characters in the same way when you do a challenge? When i finished skyrim i felt such an attachment to my guy i didn't want to let go of him ( and vorstag and indeed my thralls). One petty grievance that did bother me was pronunciation of mana...mah-nah. But im being pedantic. Great vids. You have a new subscriber!
I see my characters as a story as I don't know what difficulties the challenge will bring. Now don't get me wrong I have an idea but its the journey of overcoming it with a character making the character memorable so in a way yes but as a means to an end
Ice magic against Giants is always funny.
against draguar dear lord its pretty awful but tea can warm jackfrost up
My favorite part about Ice Spike is that, unlike the other ranged elements, it leaves something sticking out of the enemy. You can make many unicorns out of bandits this way. Also, it's funny to see enemies stuck with multiple spikes in their chest acting like nothing is wrong.
pin cushions for the win!
"As easy as making a cup of yorkshire tea" *Scrolls up* hold on when did i start watching spiffing brit?
Thanks man i do love a good cup of tea can't beat it!
Sameee

Goofy welcome to another video buddy and we might do a palpatine video in the future with force lightning :)
Also the Lightning Bolt spell is so satisfying. If you crank up the effect sound it sounds AWESOME. And it just SENDS people when it kills xD
The only downside to this is that most of the enemies got frost resistance.
@@TuberoseKisser That is true, but also to be expected in the land of frost.
That’s why The Electromancer is the greatest
Oh my~
I'm excited considering that Skyrim has most of the stronger enemies have cold resistance.
it was certainly difficult but pulled through
So you can cast a few spells am I supposed to be scared -every Skyrim guard in this whole challenge
very true!
If more leniency of the rules, you could use Ice Golem summons and both Frost shouts. Ice Form is broken when dealing with archers!
I thought about it but think it would be a little OP so opted not to to keep the run fair
Nice video, and of course well done for resisting saying things like "stay frosty", "they needed to chill", "a cool encounter" or "putting the main story on ice".

My favorite channel doing my favorite character. This is going to be good.
Ahhh yes jackfrost is a distant cousin to the dream works jackfrost legally distinct but he kicks but in all the same ways :)
Dude, I got 400+ hrs in Skyrim and never knew that there is Magi regen perks in Restoration school! 3:33
@@unisamati5478 but of course a often overlooked perk :)

Thank you, I have pretty bad arachnophobia, so you are awesome for being so considerate.
Yeah skyrim spiders are really freaky some viewers won't like it so prefer to avoid showing it :)
HEE HO- oh wait wrong Jack Frost.

You know all too well my good sir :)
Love the idea! It's always good to see a new Skyrim challenge video, especially from you!
Thankyou man really appreciate it your awsome!

Always good to see you again man love your comments and definitely agree with you :)
What a wonderful video, thank you Insane Frame.
thankyou man always nice to hear from you :)
I have to say, I don't get the ban on armor. I'm guessing it's because playing "Jack Frost" is akin to playing a Ice Mage.
it's mainly so we stay as a pure magic caster otherwise the run would quickly become OP
You can tell he's taken notes from nerbit and the spiffingbrit
Spiffing brit and will strife my good man also it is true i do drink yorkshire tea (yorkshire gold for the win!!!)
Ice Spike makes dragon corpses fly. Best spell in the game. 10/10 would chill again.
Lots of ice cubs for igloos :)
Ice Storm is an instant game win.
pretty much :)
I've never seen the movie, but I normally skip ice magic, looking forward to this video:)
Hope you enjoy it!
I love the commentary from Skyrim to X-Com and all the bladestorms. Good thing I didn't play the bladestorm drinking game.
I saw a similar run as Elsa. These always look really fun, too!
I wonder what it'll be like to play as Princess/Queen Anna of Arendelle - no armor OR Robes, only Clothes, Fine Clothes or the royal clothes Balgruuf or Elisif wear, no magic and only one-handed swords, specifically only the transparent ones of Labyrintian, the Ghostblade or the Stalhrim Sword.
that would be cool got a couple more runs with jackfrost though
Droogar? Drew-gar? Petition to name the boss of bleak falls barrow to Drew
This is now cannon Drew the drewgar
What a cool video. Nice👍
your welcome glad you enjoyed it buddy!
You can get frostbite + robes / boots with nice enchants from lockpicking a cell in helgen
damn I forgot about that
Excellent suggestion.
That's sparks, but the robes and hood are handy.
Nice, I have a challenge. Can you beat Skyrim as Jack Torrance from the Shinning?. I'm thinking Jack Nicholson on this one. Would be really fun to see that. thanks again!!
no problem thanyou for watching may give this a go at some point!
For the Next Can You Beat Skyrim as Lina inverse or Can You Beat Fallout New Vegas As Spike Spiegel?
not sure but we can give it a go
Yea. Nice vid and thanks!
no worries
Jack frost is nipping at our noses
he does specialise in nippy tactics
"Drugar"
Indeed :)
I did the same but played as Elsa
Thats awsome going to do a second playthrough as jack frost at some point
@@InsaneFrame I might! Currently playing through cyberpunk 2077.

The horse shall be known as Dave, Dave the unstoppable horse!!!
@@InsaneFrame Yes! All will fear the might and power of Dave the Unstoppable Horse!
4:18 The name is said like "Draugh- Ger" or maybe more like "Draw-gerr"
i did try even practiced pronouncing it but it always gets me
Somewhere in alternate universe Insane Frame beat Skyrim as Elsa from Frozen 😄
I feel like if it was supposed to mimic that Jack Frost you'd a made him a stealth frost mage who uses his staff for melee only
We can do that in a future video :)
Hey Frame big fan. I have a question for you. How do you manage to do these challenges without getting bored? I have tried playing fallout 4, skyrim, etc multiple times but I always get bored hours in and stop.
Love the episode ❤ (:
I like the games for what they are and do it in shifts almost like im working a job (this channel is that but a dream job at that)
One of the videos that originally made me like this channel was your Punch Club video because it's a different game than most people usually play. If you want to run Punch Club 2, then I'm sure people will watch it.
its the next challenge im going to be doing got to do the game justice :)
"Can you beat Skyrim with ice magic?" Sooooo.....a Cryomancer? Yes, yes you can, despite a decent amount of enemies being resistant to Frost damage, a Cryomancer is still a viable option for a character build
Don't worry got a few challenges branching off this one
*Can You Beat Fallout 3 Without Karma?*
* Not allowed to perform any actions that give Positive or Negative karma.
* Must have Neutral karma at all times.
* Must get the Impartial Meditation perk.
* Must play on Very Hard difficulty.
* No companions.
I quite like this challenge i shall add it to the bible
I always lean towards ice magic and necromancy some reason. It definitely has its disadvantages in skyrim, but still my preference
Its because you are extremely cool and the rockstar of skyrim :)
@@InsaneFrame I can’t argue with that.
I think you should do a "Light" modded Destruction playthrough, Find the Cool Spells and use them to whack foes.
Yes absoultley :)
I have always liked look of thalmor gloves. Not that gloves slot has useful enchantments, only fortify magicka is useful for pure mage.
Yeah I do like the gloves there pretty cool :)
You should try beating new Vagas with the PEW PEW GUN
we shall try :)
@@InsaneFrame I also thought you could try beating Skyrim with a fork and knife
Too bad armor was not allowed, or else you could've taken Skaal armor and pretend to be a water bender too! xD
a water bender you say that would be fun :)
After jack frost, can you beat skyrim as Zeus? Only lightning spell :)
Edit: I sub and like the video :)
Now you've guessed another challenge I was going to do probably going to be in November at some point
If you run out of ideas you could always use the other two elements but maybe find a character to base it off of like this one so you won't have the same bonus rules
I’m playing on master and the speed ur killing enemies at the low levels is so much faster than me
Its all about getting damage perks early ideally the earlier the better
What would u recommend cause it’s something I’ve been having trouble with, had to level up to lvl 13 to beat Mirmulnir without it taking like 15 mins 😭
New sub yay 🎉
Ah thankyou your very kind!
My favorite element
good to see you dovah yeah ice is pretty nice
U forgot jack also has a staff of frost
Thats going to be in the next challenge featuring jack frost

Can you beat fallout 4 with only intimidation perks (wasteland whisperer, intimidation, animal Friend, and robotic expert)
it has been added to the list good sir! (very good recommendation)
Can you beat Skyrim as toshiro hitsugaya
yep pretty much gotta bleach characters :)
let it goo ❄️
here I go again on my own!
No Ice Spike before Mirmulnir?
gotta do what we gotta do
Frozone?
Sub Zero?
Incredibles and mortal combat :)
Now go fight the frost giant boss fight
maybe.... (jack frost powers intensify)
Drewgar
drewgar indeed!
At what point does he go vampire?
I don't at least not in this playthrough
You sound like the spiffing brit
Well we both like Yorkshire tea :)
Literally sub zero
yes if he had dark brotherhood armour :)
Yo
hello
@@InsaneFrame how is it going
Hee Ho
ho hee :)
droogar
indeed
Can you beat Skyrim/Fallout 4 as Kratos?
don't worry its in the challenge bank going to be doing it at some point
Naw do it with illusion magic lol
Ice magic is op
don't worry we shall return doing a more realistic jack frost approach
hee ho
Ho hee
No souting very good as it is mean
prefer tea over shouting as it is quite barbaric to do such a thing
I’m late but can my comment get hearted too, Frame?
of course it can no worries man!
@@InsaneFramewoop woop!🎉🎉
❤
Isnt this just a normal skyrim playthrough? Whats the challenge?
I suppose in a way but going to do more challenges with jack frost
I was think Could beat fallout 4 as mr freeze with cryolator
you know we have to try that at some point :)
