- Pretty neat, you can actually see the Imperial City in Skyrim if you noclip out of the map a little bit.
Console commands:
fw 10e1f2 - Clears up weather
tcl - Turns off collision (noclip mode)
tgm - Toggle god mode
tfc - Toggle free-fly cam - เกม
Hadvar: You're a long way from the imperial city
Imperial city: *is a literal 20 min walk away*
The reason Stormcloaks will lose. Empire will come back if they lost the civil war.
@@ladyselin35 for real? The dragonborn can literally defeat anybody on their own.
In a few years you will litterally be able to walk anywhere in tamerial.
@@CalebEade like daggerfall
@@BumAssNigga408 Nope you mean arena
It's crazy how this was discovered within 2 weeks of Skyrim's release.
Well come on people are curious and they do want to know whats beyond the borders of skyrim.
Jay McDaniel they do xD if you have a full map everybody should know that cyrodiil is south of skyrim
no wonder they made ESO , to finally silence our curious asses beyond borders xD
if you were an elder scrolls fan and not just a fan because of skyrim then in the previous game you got to play in cyrodiil and in the game before that morrowind.. lol
...and in the game before that, all of the above...
And now, 6 years later we can finally get through that border thanks to amazing mod called "Beyond Skyrim: Bruma"
And you can noclip to imperial city with slightly more detail
Or just fly there like me

@@qtfy omg no way really???
@@qtfy no shit. Oblivion has clunky controls and very outdated graphics. Not that skyrim has but it looks atleast better
This video is 6 years old but the imperial city was placed there so it could be visible after Meridia’s beacon quest when you’re transported up in the air.
Holy shit

I think it serves simply as a background for the word, so that when you stand on top of the Throat of the World or somewhere else, it doesn't look like Skyrim is suspended in nothingness, but is in fact part of the continent. I highly doubt it was intended to be a dlc location.
Just like in the Dragonbor DLC, where you can see both Morrowind and Skyrim in the distance.
BlueShit199 do you have any facts to back that up?
he said "I think" It is also a faurly logical thought process, as it seems to be incomplete
@Evan Leo// I'm sure he was quoting the character I use as my avatar :)
I fould an interview ith Todd Howard and he said he that programmers calculated that from the highest point in skyrim imperial city should be seem, so they added it as an astetic.
only 12 days after release. while this guy isn't popular, he certainly is legendary for keeping this in Bethesdas history. and here i am, commenting 5 years later... im old
me too
Same.
/ Snow 7 here
Here I am commenting on this 8 years later
Definitely
It's scary when you left the map ,I'm the only one?
no i freakin hate it it creeps me out to
It feels surreal. Like being lost in limbo. Scary thought, especially if you imagine it happening in real life.
It gives you some feeling , its just wired😦
10/10 Grammar
omg i thought i was the only person i cannot go out of the map in games its just too creepy
Hadvar: your a 30 minute walk form the imperial city.
If you continue going down the path outside Dayspring Canyon you can go up with toggle collisions or whatever and you'll see a giant mountain in the distance which I'd guess represents Morrowind.
While playing oblivion, it was exciting to visit Skyrim like this :P Funny how we always want to go to "restricted" areas haha :D
Do you still play skyrim/oblivion?
Damn, 10 years

@@taxfraud8789 yo you Charlie’s Skyrim marriage speedrun
They use their drones
Very easy to figure out
I read in an interview with Todd Howard that they added this in to fill up the distant map. They needed to add something in there for the players who explored the extreme edges of the map. :)
I know my comment is 5 years too late, but: Maybe they were planning to create a DLC which would make it actually possible to travel in there and they even started with the development. However soon they realised it would be way too big for just a simple DLC and scrapped the whole thing. But for a single monument or memorial they left the tower texture there. Or maybe its there just for lols I don't really know. :-D
Killjoy45 no not a dlc, just to show a bit of realism
LivingObscurity
Yeah but what is the point if you can't even see it without using consol commands?
Killjoy45 i think if you stand on top of the throat of the world you can see it(in remastered maybe and the "sky without clouds" shout)
LivingObscurity
Nope. I actually got to the highest peak to see if I can see the tower from there. No can do, mountains are blocking the view.
Killjoy45 than try it near the border...
I always knew Cyrodil was beyond that door, but I didn't expect there would be an actual model for the tower!
You can actually walk to it if you don't have modding capabilities (I have an xbox 360 and did it). What you do is hop the gate due south of Southfridge Sanctum (you can crawl over the rocks to the right of the gate) and then go down the slopes and valleys and you'll come to it. Granted before you get to it you'll drop off the map and into water, and the land is just visual and not walkable, but you can still swim to it (or walk if you have the boots that allow you to walk on water).
For people new to Elder Scrolls, the first one (Arena) takes place everywhere in tamriel.
sweet thanks for the info
"You cannot go that way....."
Pc users - Ohhh yes I can
Holy cow it was real I didn't believe it when I saw the title
1:35 Or, you know, just use the clear skies shout..
You gain this at the end of the story
Revolver Ocelot You gain it when you go up to the Throat of The World to talk to Paarthurnax.
@@potatopowerpc2140 still close
I was riding a dragon but when I tried to land it glitched and just flew all the way to Cyrodiil and past the tower, I was quite pleased with that well traveled dragon...
I was thinking about this not too long ago. I think it would be awesome if somebody made a mod where if you had skyrim, oblivion, morrowind then you could travel to skyrim, cyrodiil and morrowind respectively, without having to exit your game. Though a few things would make this really difficult.
itd be nice to go to cyrodil in a DLC. nice GREEN non dead grass and forests, a nice color pallet to look at and of course all of the cities
You can literally jump up and around on the right side of the gate and walk.
The land you’re seeing beyond the gate are just textures and not solid ground. You would fall off the map if you were to try walking .
When The Elder Scroll 6 releases, people would go to border to seek skyrim easter eggs.
They really need to make the next Elder Scrolls map span multiple regions, that would be hard to do but worth it. Maybe 2 of the smaller regions such as Valenwood and Elsweyr or High Rock and Hammerfell.
I would love if Cryodiil would become one of the DLC's Or at least the Imperial City. I would love to visit my homeland...
This is clearly a work in progress! Can't wait for dlc's
What did you think of the DLCs?
@@XandWacky Lmao more like how he enjoyed 4th remaster

Never played the DLCs, can someone tell me how they were?
@@FinTungate One makes you either turn into a vampire or a furry, one actually goes to Morrowwind but its just a small bit, and I lowkey forgot what the other DLC does
Mad props dude. Let us know if you find anything else. Always cool when data like that is hidden in the game
Thats what I'm thinking, to see all the predecessors of Skyrim re done would be really badass.
What the actual fuck? why? why would bethesda do this?
Pinkie Posh This could be a Pre-rendered project they were working on but decided to take it out of the game from reaching the area. However they either forgot about it or they decided to leave it in and thought no one would actually find it. Or, after having this in the game they wanted to keep this in the game instead of removing it from their project so instead they just had it as an Easter Egg. There are plenty of games that have pre-rendered areas like Shadow of the Colossus. Bethesda would't make a whole area for just nothing so it was there probably when they abandoned their little project. Either way Bethesda knew what they were doing when they made this.
+Pinkie Posh Its cool tbh
Devs like to do this cods have really detailed outlands like on one map you can find Las Vegas
They used the same map of Oblivion to copy and past to place that map behind the Oblivion's original location to make the bases for Skyrim. I think its a way to recycle rather than just starting from scratch. which is pretty smart, only thing they had to do is add much more details, new terrain, and unique locations based on the original map of "Elder scrolls 1 Arena."
ES:Arena was randomly generated.
Maybe Bethesda thought of having the execution part in the beginning take place in the imperial city instead of helgen, but later scrapped that idea

Revisiting this absolute classic
*10 years old*
Funny how time flies. See you lot in 2032. 🤣
Or they were busy working on DLC Redguard but dropped the project and this is supposed to be the location where Redguard is intended to be
Source?
actualy they were planing to make 2 more dlc the redguard was the 3rd
anthony15601 Code*. There finished the sentence for you.
***** What?
anthony15601 You were spelling the movie Source Code and I fixed it for you. Implying that the question mark is a help of confusion where you didn't know the last word of the movie's title name.
You don't need console commands. Xbox and PS cando it too. You can get out of the map from riften by roof jumping and jumping out of the city (while technically still being in the city). From there, just climb the mountains and run you ass out there.
There are invisible borders dude.
Invisible borders also console commands are a shit ton easier
I was able to glitch into this area on the Xbox. Till this day I don't know how I did it, but I rode all the way out to the tower on a stolen horse.
wow they actually included the gold tower in skyrim, awesome
Does this mean it could be possible to see the white gold tower from the throat of the world? 🤔
Adam Hamilton yes
Yep. I was able to see it just like you can see the Red Mountain volcano that you see in the Dragonborn DLC from the Throat of the World
I remember ages ago jumping my way to the top of a mountain and seeing the white gold tower, didnt use commands or anything, going to see if I can do it again, that was years ago
That gate is probably there for some future dlc, wouldnt see any other reason. Maybe the pillar is there from a test or something and they just forgot to delete it? Or assumed no one would notice?
This is one of the best Easter eggs ever!
I was able to see the Imperial City by turning my view in that direction while I was on the map screen.
How did you turn the map south as much as I try it's impossible
@@puremarblec Well, it's been a while since I played Skyrim, but I'm pretty sure you hold right click while moving your mouse. Left click pans the map around, while right click rotates the camera on the map screen. From there, I just scrolled to the south of the map, turned the camera south, and zoomed in using the scroll wheel. At least I'm pretty sure that was how I did it. Oh, and it was the original PC version I was playing, not the Special Edition. I'm not sure if it's possible on the Special Edition or on consoles.
On the 360 version you can actually just climb your way through the mountains and see it. Like Jayden below, I actually went off the edge of the world and dropped into the sea and swam out to it, but of course I just went right through it like it was a mirage. So I quick traveled to Riften, which it let me do despite the fact I was still swimming around.
My guess is that It was intended for the beginning of the game's intro. Since you are seen riding in the direction away from the border towards Helgen, It was probably going to be the starting area but the intro would have carried out way longer.
To be perfectly honest Bethesda IS probably in the process of creating the whole world of Tamriel to fit in one game. Cyrodil, Elsweyr, a remaster of Morrowind etc. are all taking a long time to create. And you know what they said: "We don't have the technology quite yet"... Makes perfect sense. They're are also many in-game references and I mean many. Take a look at the Dragonborn DLC.. You can SEE Vvardenfell from Solstheim which was originally Skyrim's main island. You can go to Morrowind!... Fuck i'm done. #ES6Hype
Don't You think it'll take longer for them to have to remaster morrowind, put black marsh DLC, make elsweyr and valenwood fit in an elder scrolls game, make a summerset isles standalone game, and put hammerfell and high rock together into an implemented elder scrolls game of the series? Wouldn't it be a lot easier to just say screw it and create all of Tamriel accessible from one game? Yeah, may need a lot of memory but it's better than making the fans pay for 5 different games!
I'd rather pay for 5 different games over the course of like 20 years than pay for a single rushed piece of garbage calling itself Elder Scrolls VI. I mean if you're talking like another 15 years before the game comes out, sure... shave a couple years off and you _might_ have a decent game. But what's the point?
In 20 years when technology has advanced to the point where we can have games like that then they could start production of it. But as things stand it's not like they could actually get much done beyond creating a concept, which they already have.
If you're that in a rush to have everything in one package, stick with Elder Scrolls Online. That's basically their placeholder for something that big anyway, and it's essentially what they have/would create if they tried to combine them all. I'd much rather a more compacted game with a ton of detail than some huge mess with little to no effort put into it.
In hindsight Elder Scrolls has very few titles to its name to even suggest that it's too many games to have to buy. Look at Final Fantasy, or Assassin's Creed, or Metal Gear and then try and complain about TES.
Yeah... They're not going to come out with 5 standalone games over the course of 20 years. They are talking about creating the Elder Scrolls 6, and yes of course we don't know how long it's going to take. But that doesn't mean my point was Bethesda was going to have to come out with every province of Tamriel before Elder Scrolls 6 can even begin to be created... You're talking about you'd rather play 5 different games before you get to play Elder Scrolls 6? Sounds like a loser remark to me... And what will the game even be called then? Don't you realize the games are in fucking chronological order in the series?
*+Eli7222DNS* Um... what? That's neither what I said, nor what you said before. _You_ said they should create all of Tamriel into one game in the next installment. That was the comment I replied to, that you made just previously. I'm not saying create 5 games before Elder Scrolls 6. I'm saying the game you're talking about shouldn't be viable until like Elder Scrolls 10. Unless we have to wait decades from now for Elder Scrolls 6, then creating all of Tamriel would just be a rushed piece of garbage hardly worthy of being compared to any of the current ones.
And I really don't think something like that is even possible with the technology currently on the market. You're talking about something incomparably bigger than any game we've ever seen. I don't think they'd even be able to market it to the public even if they were able to create it. You'd have to be rich to be able to afford equipment that could run something that large.
Unless you want something with graphics like Daggerfall, then it's just not reasonable to hope for something on that scale. Bethesda would be liable to go out of business producing a flop that huge.
+Archeides, we have the technology, look at skywind and skyblivion, a bunch of guys are developing all of the provenance to go onto the one map, it can be done, also there was a gate there, maybe you might of been able to go to oblivion in a later DLC or maybe not, maybe they are saving all the landmasses so when they finally have enough of them they can just make it one big game, i think i would rather the seperate games first but i think Bethesda really wants to do something that would blow every other RPG out of the bloody market
I think it's a development for the game elder scrolls online, to make sure how big it is from cyroild and skyrim.
I kind of doubt they would have needed to do that, to be honest. Different games scale differently for one thing... and that still wouldn't help with the rest of the continent, so it would make more sense to equally scale the entire continent at the same time.
ESO uses a different engine. This was something that was intended to be viewable, but never actually was.
Actually, you can see the Imperial City from either the South-most mountain or the Throat of the World.
Same with Vvardenfell and the Easternmost mountain.
Provided, your playing on HD.
@sirus804 I kind of agree, it may not be an Easter Egg, since Skyrim IS up north of Cyrodiil.
I'll say it's a easter egg intended for mod/PC users as...well why in the world would they add that when no normal gamer can't see without cheating/hacking? Maybe it was meant to be seeable but they cut it?
You can do it in the vanilla console game: 1) Do restoration potion loop (google for it) to get a +500% resto potion; 2) Drink it, don the Amulet of Talos while under effect of the potion to get zero-cooldown shouts (not patched so far); 3) Complete the main questline to get the Call Dragon shout; 4) Complete the Dragonborn DLC questline to get the Bend Will shout; 5) Go to the gate to Cyrodiil just south of Southfringe Sanctun; 6) Call Odahvving once there; 7) Bend Will him, climb aboard and enjoy the vista. The dragon will keep flying in circles high above the gate. The tower will be to the southwest of your position. Bend Will-ing a random dragon and fast travelling to Southfringe Sanctum won't work as the dragon will not fly close the border or high enough.
its not an easter egg its unfinished content for the game this is what skyrim remastered shuld have bing
Its not unfinished content, the island the tower is on isnt large enough to house a proper scale imperial city. Its literally just an easter egg that if you look at just the right time on top of the throat of the world can see the tower. You can also see morrowinds red mountain too, and yes, it was there before the dragonborn dlc was released, its an easter egg too.
It's there simply so that if you look beyond Skyrim's border you won't see an empty void. It's just for realism sake.
Big Deano Plays dumbass did you call cyrodiil a island?
Big Deano Plays or are you referring to the land in the lake the city is on
Just imagine when Elder Scrolls 6 comes out in a couple years what all stuff they will add out of bounds. The entire continent probably.
IF it comes out
in whiterun at the gate on the right side i think it is you can jump on a barrel and if you time it right you can jump out the side in front of you or sometimes get on it enough to walk to the other side and get out then all you have to do is walk there it takes a while to get all the way there but you can
@BLEACHsouls1 for dlc?
in oblivion you could too venture outside the borders and visit other provinces, but there was no dlc
You can do the whirlwind sprint through a plate trick as well. No commands needed.
Makes you wonder what they are doing with all of the landmasses already designed
i wonder if you can use this same method in oblivion to get into Valenwood (home province of the wood elves).
Cool video, thanks. Man I would love to see Cyrodiil with better graphics. Doubt they will go back there though.
u can get out of white run next to gate go in the room jump on barlles and jump out then walk to the area....althogh the map may say you are going somewhere it will like glich so then u go back to white run even if u facing away and there may be a dragon outside whiterun too(glich out)
@amnothiusz
They could make it a really, really big city. Have sewers underneath it, they could serve as dungeons. Because, why do they have more of Vvardenfell made than they do of Cyrodiil? All they have is the White Gold Tower.
@ThaRSGeek You have to do the get out of white run glitch, then go across the boarder south of falkreath or whatever it's called, then you will fall through the world into an ocean, then swim east but don't go to far south because I did and it wasnt visible but it took me like over an hour so it takes some dedication on console
Am I wrog or are the white holes near the tower lakes?
@Domsquid700 They already included Red Mountain. It's part of Morrowind (Vvardenfell).
is it possible to install a DLC on ps3 console? I already have skyrim and if those DLC's come I want to have them!
would be epic to actually look around the imperial city(while on ground)
now theres a mod called rigmor of cyrodiil which makes go inside the imperial city
can you do the notch pickaxe one because when I did it i couldn't find it
@makedonas86 The interior looks alot like a Roman type design, but the exterior is a unique circular wall surrounded by smaller districts.
I wonder if Godd Howard was originally going to have us visit cyrodiil as dlc instead of or maybe as well as solstheim
Edit: actually those ppl saying it was a background thing for the peak of throat if the world makes a LOT of sense I'm sure I can't see it since I use switch edition I'll check tho
@AssassinOfHavoc But then where would the next TES game take place? Outer space?
its actually there because you can see it on the map and and they needed it to be there physically to have to show up on the map
It's interesting how everyone wants to go back to Cyrodil/Imperial City to see how it turned out over the years. I for one, hope Bethesda makes some sort of DLC (Even if it's short) to return back to the Imperial City and see how it turned out.
I just found this Easter egg by mistake on my own. I had a mod that turned off world boarders but forgot it was installed. I kept thinking to myself "when am I going to hit the world boarder". Usually theres an actual boarder blocking you but I went past it and saw some small buildings and assumed it was the boarder (It was at night with heavy snow). I felt like I hit the skyrim backrooms, both unsettling and interesting. Crazy how in a few years the beyond skyrim team will make this playable.
@DannySmith300 Do you really think that Bethesda makes the complete Imperial City in Skyrim?
@MrGoldyFace what's DLC? just wanna know so that i can understand you comment.
I think they put it there for lols tbh, like they knew ppl would use console commands to travel out of the world so they decided why not put the tower of the imperial city there.
@RandomPrussian1871 Perhaps there is a huge ocean, their verison of our pacific, that hasnt been introduced
i love how cyrodiil is bigger than skyrim but here they made it tiny
is the rest of the world scaled correctly? I heard from someone that all the other areas are scaled down, and smaller then skyrim : /
@Osteoporozis i agree with coming out with something new but I think having the whole continent of Tamriel would be a must. After that Bethesda could create a new continent for the Imperials to do battle with. It would add so much to the game, such as owning a ship, piracy, sea life, ect. We probably wont get to see anything like this until the next gen of consoles though.
@TheMelonShrub Better yet, since early on in the 4th Era, Elsweyr became apart of the Altmeri Dominion, along with Valenwood, the next game should encompass all the dominion, including those listed above and the Summerset Isles
Had to come watch this gem again
How to start a fight on TH-cam:
1: Leave your opinion.
2: Wait.
watch it, bub.
The Imperial City was supposed to be in Skyrim but apparently they cancelled that request and just left it as an Easter Egg
is there another continent apart from tamriel i the elder scrolls universe??
Does anyone else get a stupid ad that makes the video screen get fucked up? basically moves down and right a bit. can't see the video "timer" and some stuff on the screen.
i heard there's also something like this for morrowwind, could you look into that?
@Rakvalde they didnt show HammerFall and other ones so they are gonna make Tamriel after they make every one
is it meant to be that way that you can travel everywhere in tamriel
@SgtGayPrick It would take a while to make a dlc of that size. It would also have to be on seperate disks
I think this exists because in Meridia's quest you get lifted up high.
12 years old. Unbelivable. I still feel that Skyrim is a new game...
does not work legendary edition , is there another way?
I just ran south and ended up in a sea, swimming for an hour towards hammerfell. Pretty neat vid!
Which will continue to allow the heightmaps to render instead of confining yourself to just that one cell. It's much easier to do via ini without having to fuck around with the console.
@evilnordking no they're not dead.... they just haven't been seen or heard of by tamerial since the second era
They already had the land textures for Cyrodil from Oblivion, it uses a similar engine so I'm sure it wasn't much bother to just plug in the texture map.
@MrGoldyFace you mean Morrowind and Cyrodiil? cause the imperial city is the capital of Cyrodiil and just having a city without the province would be a bit dumb
