  • Skyrim is the ultimate RPG game designed by Video Game God Todd Howard and Exploit Creators Bethesda. In Their divine wisdom they gave the players of skyrim the most overpowered mage build in terms of damage outputs in skyrim. We took the strongest spell in skyrim and decided to see if we could also add it to our 100% resistant to magic build that we would need to do the absorb Magic Only challenge again! AND THEN add an additional 12,000% damage to that spell thanks to the fortify restoration loop exploit! So how on earth can a player beat skyrim with only a 100% Resistance To Magic a skill which is exceedingly limited and has few overpowered gameplay features alongside the most overpowered mage build in the universe... You can take a level 1 character and turn them into the most powerful character in the entirety of the elder scrolls universe by having them become immune to magic and have magic powers that can evaporate a dragon in 1 second. So lets see if The Spiffing Brit can prove if Skyrim is a perfectly balanced game or if spiff can exploit skyrim and beat the game with only Magic.
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
    So sit back relax and enjoy this Skyrim Magic only challenge! How on earth can one english bugger beat Skyrim Special Edition with only resisting spells and using the most powerful lightening imaginable!! Its the most overpowered build yet! Is it really a Magic Challenge... I mean there is not much of a challenge when you can 1 hit every single enemy...

    Tip for anybody trying to grind Destruction magic: I did it by having an NPC heal in one hand and a low-level Destruction spell in the other.
    And then having basically infinite magicka like Spiff here. Used on an NPC that was stuck in a river trying to get out of it. Constantly healing and hurting them so they never die.
    No, I don't think that basically amounts to horrendous torture than violates the Geneva Convention, why do you ask?

      @@Whaddif_ Huh. I don't think I've ever seen that many pieces of fortify destruction gear in one place unless they were player-made. I'm pretty sure only the armor, helmet/circlet, amulet, and ring can normally accept that enchantment. Well, I guess some gauntlets do appear with fortify destruction so the player can probably make those too, but apparently pre-built gauntlets don't go over 17%. Nightingale gloves btw don't affect spellcasting, they increase one-handed damage and lockpicking (the hood enhances illusion). And the archmage robes are only 15%, so you must have found a helmet or circlet and necklace of 25% each and a ring worth 20%. I'm pretty sure I crafted my first five-finger discount magic set. IIRC in the base game you can get 25% to each item at max level with full perks and no potions.
      Of course, the easy solution to get free spells is use the fortify restoration loop to get at least 7x stronger enchantments and then equip the archmage robes (7 x 15 = 105% cheaper everything). Or 20x stronger enchants for the diadem of the savant, which you can grab at game start near Froki's Shack. But considering you can get thousands of armor rating off a hide bracer by resto looping smithing gear, if you use the resto loop you might as well wear clothes cosmetically and not worry about actual armor.

    If you ever want enemies that always seem to have infinite health: the leaders of stormcloak/imperial camps throughout Skyrim never seem to die if you’ve taken up with the opposite side and they always aggro against you. They have low health but that’s where alchemy + healing hands comes into play. It’s a great way to level up skills you’ve not invested in when you already a minor deity.

      Fire might actually be stronger, because it does the most damage due to gaining illusion bonuses to fear potency, as well as having a passive effect that does damage over time. Magicka *and* Stamina drop to 0 once the enemy is dead! (Of course lightning is still the most effective, if only because it has the fewest number of enemies who are immune or resistant.)

    Here's a fun exploit for infinite levels using magic:
    Get your alteration spells to zero cost
    Get the Telekinesis spell
    Pick up an item, and then fast travel to the other side of the map while holding it
    It counts the ingame time needed to travel, and gives you alteration experience from holding telekinesis for that amount of time
    It will take you from 1 to 100 alteration, give you several levels, and then you can reset alteration to start again
    It does also work if you wait instead of fast travel, but fast travel is quicker

    Spiff, I would point out that there's an easier way to do this challenge. Once you get to the Fortify Destruction potions section, just grab the Flame Cloak spell from Faralda (or from a location on the coast between Dawnstar and Winterhold), and use a potion whenever you cast the cloak, as it increases the radius of your damage proportionately to the damage potency, meaning you don't even have to aim. Anything hostile to you that enters that radius will die, because it unwittingly walked into a natural disaster from a kilometer away, and it is glorious.

If he's operating on the 100% magic absorption build, for whatever reason, you absorb your own Atronach spells, meaning you can only do Necromancy and Bound weapons while that immunity is in place. But my point was that the Flame Cloak Spell is amazingly efficient for it because you can kill enemies before you see them with the Flame Cloak, no aiming required, while allies remain unharmed.
