This thing bugged me for 6 years. I dug deep and found the truth.
You probably won't like the answer but it's around here - 10:10
BUGGED you eh?
Ahh terrible pun lol!
I commented on this in the Skyrim easter egg vid about how a dev came out to a youtuber saying it was originally a cut quest before Skyrim was Skyrim
Thank you
Finally the biggest skyrim mystery has been solved
Thank you for giving the location of each one! Now I finish placing them all in my house.
Shirley Curry Shirley!
Shirley Curry the legend!
Shirley Curry I wish I didn’t see 8:05 :-/ I skipped the beginning because I want to find them myself
Shirley Curry I don’t mod so placing decor ends up horrible lol
Shirley it's so good to see you here, please enjoy placing you BIJ.
Oh so they can't make 5 bugs in jars quest but they can make us look for 30 crimson ninroot ._.
Or 24 gems
That ain't it Bethesda 😐
Yes
I just used console commands after 9 years of never completing the quest to give myself the 30 crimson nirnroot, and all I got for completing the quest was a stupid lore book.
The reward SHOULD have been learning how to grow your own, essentially giving you a perk that enables the planting and growing of nirnroot in player owned planters.
I think they felt there were enough bugs in Skyrim already...
I always knew that Skyrim was full of unresolved bugs.
Well some people do call it bug-thesda.
@@giggyjupiter8246 This aint it chief...
Ha Ha nice
Yes! Yes! You won! You won the internet!
yup thats bethesda for ya...
The symbols are actually asking if you've been to the cloud district.
Oh, what am I saying? Of course you haven’t.
Ain't none of us been to the cloud district.....
@@pronewun5832 I have and I will have you know that there is no pussy
Ha ! Of course not !
Halt! Stop right there! You have committed crimes again Skyrim and her people, what's say you in your defense?
5 unique bugs in jars as part of cut content, but 24 god damn Stones of Barenziah.
i know man those damn stones made my brother have a little mental breakdown since he just got all of them and a glitch happened and he lost all of his progress so far back it landed him straight back to the beginning of the quest and he done a ton of quest before that and lets just say he had didnt touch those stones until he made sure he did all of his quests first
Lore Theorist goddamn that sucks balls dude...
i know but he is the type of guy who is a completionist who tries to complete everything he went back to his normal self in a week or two from playing fallout new vegas and talking to his girlfriend
why not just reload a save?
your little brother has a serius issue if he had to waste 2 weeks instead of just reloading a save
Prank played on Hermaeus Mora by Sheogorath, Hermaeus will always be looking for the answer...
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude imagine if thats actually it lmfao
Hey ol' Hermaeus I have a question for the Daedric Prince of Knowledge. I've found this jar, there's a Luna Moth inside but there's also this interesting little Script on the inside of the lid. Hermamora: hmmmmm, well you're right there are olden characters on the lid hmmm, they seem to represent old Norse or Viking scripts but what does it mean. *after Years of research* I've figured it out the first character is Dick... And the second is... Butt... Sheo: Ahahahahahahaha
LMFAO-
My new favorite theory
So basically, we are Hermaeus Mora.

Designer "I got this really cool idea with bugs in jars, and there could be a puzzle involved, maybe an Easter egg kinda thing, what do you think? "
Bethesda "No go, we need another 56 dungeons infested with drauger, work on those instead, it's what the players will want!"
no spank you, I'd rather have bugs in jars than more draugr
"Now go place these 24 spinning gems all over the map and finish up implementing those radiant quests"
And we still play every useless Dungeon
"It just works."
Crimson Ninroot, has Joined the Chat.
You're not done Camel. There's an artist out there somewhere who knows what the plan for these was.
Hahaha, so we know for certain that the ARTIST knows what the random developer that could have been part of a number of things in the dev team, knows the story?
If anyone, you should go to the source of the idea, but then you’d have to find who made the idea.
Nerd Herd 13:00 implies that the source was likely an artist.
Hahaha, true!! Do Full detective mode again! I would love to hear about what the original idea was!
doesn't really matter was cancelled. it doesn't exist.
I don't get it.. If they scrapped it the guy who had the idea may not even remember. Why not just Mod a story into the game that would include the Jars and wha' la! Done!
The problem is, that there's still a story that an artist knows. He thought out what those letters should mean, and though his/her plan didn't pan out through development, that mystery still has an answer... somewhere.
Sean Bradshaw Stop it, I thought I finally had closure until I saw this comment 😩
I get it, the answer isn't in the game that's why nobody found it. The answer is with the guy who wanted to make the quest. We just have to find him and he'll tell us the story behind them.
Maybe it was a shout to transform into a spriggan?
But chances are that the idea/quest wasn't even fully thought through or defined. So it's really up our own imagination. Or you could track down the artist and make them come up with the rest of the quest, but still it would be somthing that was only just imagined recently.
Check out my comment. I'm pretty sure this was legitimately solved by grandma Shirley
The real mystery here is how those bugs stayed alive in those jars for so long...
Magic?
They are enchanted with Daedric prince magic, thus the whole theory that they are a Sheogorath joke.
@@LadyCoyKoi But it goes even further, because sheogorath isn't playing the joke on the citizens of skyrim, but the people who play it.

@Kayedance Skelton r/woooosh
You fucker lmao
Do one more deep dive about this. Find out who the developer who made the jars is, and find out what the idea behind them was. If they mean nothing, what were they intended to mean?
Totally underrated comment. I truly agree with that. The fact is, if this story is true, there was a quest, or at least an idea behind these lovely bugs. Aren't you curious to find out what was this idea ? A true detective would never be satisfied with this poor answer to a 6 years long quest ... :p
This is what I was thinking.
bump
Bump this.
pyromaniac000000 this comment is asking the REAL questions
New in creation club: bugs in jars, new quest only for 9.99
No, $6.66 *"Duh... It's Bethesda."*
Kawausly you forgot a 9
Kawausly Plus Tax?
Wait... EA owns Skyrim?!
Oh God no
Wait.
So you're telling me thousands of people have been trying to solve this shit for years, and none of them thought to ask the people who actually worked on the game?
...
@0
@Pferd Schild true
I mean, if you're a dev. and you put an elaborate easter egg in a game, you'd reveal the easter egg to the first person who'd ask?
Moreso, do you really think that when a dev. puts an easter egg, he'd write in a PSA in their office that "hey guys, I put an easter egg, and this is the story etc."
@@estoylaroca i mean, they literally just said "yeah it's nothing." to the first dude who asked, so that means no one even TRIED asking.
Which is kind of retarded, since after like a year or two you'd at least ask for a hint.
They did ask. Devs just didn't tell them.
I just came across my first bug in a jar (the beautiful moth) the other day in the cave! I was so excited and took it for my house. Now I’m super excited because there’s more!
I just started playing Skyrim a few months ago. I love it. I know I’m late to the party but I’m happy I’m finally there 😄
😀
Oh Jenni welcome to Tamriel, more specifically, Skyrim; but you already know that 😁 watch the skies, traveler.
Don't catch an arrow to your knee.
Oh Jenni- years later..live played to level 50 twice now. And I'm still trying to smeagle stuff and figure out the Secrets. There are a many. There are Also a many that have No answer. This is unfortunately the truth. G'day m'Lady, a mad universe it Is as this fella said. The Moth Is my favorite, it's a Lunar Moth. Very beautiful. I'm poor in real life, this game makes me feel rich. Haha. And like a hoarder most of the time.
Mine was the bee
"Scattered seemingly randomly" I think where they were placed makes sense - the Bee was found at the honey farm, the Butterfly was found in a place that's constantly spring, the Moth was found at *dusk* glow cave (moths are nocturnal) and the Torchbug was found at *frost*flow *light* house (torches provide heat, and the bug is luminous). The dragonfly throws me off though.
they just put in the dragonfly to throw off the communists
@@CircaSriYak No No the dragonfly has everything to do with the first khajiit werebear in Tamriel and the socio-economic supremacy that India will soon hold over the rest of the universe.
IT KINDA MAKES NO SENSE BUT OK LOL
dushnikh yal is near arkngthamz which is a dwemer ruin and dwemer ruins has way to blackreach that keeps Vulthuryol an ancient dragon
nonsense
i wonder what the original quest was. Might have been fun. Unfortunately Bethesda have no interest in fixing bugs or incomplete quests, despite remastering and re-releasing the game a bunch of times.
The answer is simple... dragonflies do what they damned well please
Okay, they're the remnants of a cut idea. But what was that idea going to be?
Jack Schwartz you'd have to figure out who had the idea and contact them which is probably near impossible
If they even remember, this was a long time ago.
Landon Ponek true that
Yes, this was exactly what I was hoping the video was going to reveal.
Asking the real questions.
What I learned from this video: that Joel is a savage.... "Yeah"
Joel strikes me as the kind of guy who says "i dont know, CAN you go to the bathroom?"
Ten years from now, when Elder Scrolls 6 is released, there will be one line in a book about how some important Ayleid nobles escaped the slave rebellion by transferring their souls into bugs in jars, but none of their fellow Ayleids survived to release and restore them. Yeah, probably not, but thinking so will give me a big smile every time I pass them, perched on my upstairs sill in Solitude.
Now, we must contact the artists and find out what the plan was
Dylath Indeed
ah ha they killed him so he could never reveal the truth it seems what M'aiq told me was true after all wait so if that's true then it must have been Gary that stole my sweetroll but which one dammit when i took that arrow in the knee the left one Not the right and those dragons kept flying backwards i knew shit was going down but not this much no never this much
Yea. But at least we finally found closure.
Then we unleash the moders and get that idea and quest in the game as a mod.
Legend has it Camelworks knows what happened to the Dwemer
They stabbed some gods hearth and since they’re all bond with minds they all disappeared due to the intense power that got loose by the hearth
Hey, Only camelworks should know that
Brandon Ground ... but what if I am Camelworks? Or what if I am a dreamer? Or... what if I’ve just watched a video where someone explained this to me? O_0
what happened to them is just common knowledge by now
Shovel the real mystery is - where are they now? Some oblivion plane, or somewhere else?
Thanks to mods, I can catch a torchbug in a jar and use it as a belt-fastened lantern that works even under water. Good enough for me.
Actually the bugs in jars are telling the player to go help another settlement.
Here, i'll mark it on your map.
Now go hunt down the artist whose idea got absolutely destroyed and torture him until he tells you what the fuck the quest was supposed to be about.
"THE BUGS! WHAT DO THEY MEAN?!"
I support this.
Renekage you're a genius
*sigh and picks up the torches* assemble the angry mob and scour this world for its unasnswered plunder!
Wow. It's funny. This was actually my main belief behind the mystery ever since this thing started. I remember speculating the same thing. Because Skyrim's development is filled with half-baked, half-finished assets and guests. Why would this be any different?
A shameful display
yeah that is really a totally crazy idea! How did you come to think about that it could be just nothing, please tell me!
Jonas Schewelius
Maybe because everyone else was too busy thinking it somehow related to the apocalypse or sharing Alex Jones level conspiracies about what it meant.
Nate The big secret is that the bugs in jars turn daedra gay.
There's all kinds of this shit in the elder scrolls series that doesn't go anywhere. I had no idea people thought they were anything more than cool shit to put in your house until I saw a video that mentioned them.
I really want Bethesda to add the bugs in jars to the lore, now. Like, they were actually planted by Uncle Sheo for the kicks and giggles to drive the finder mad.
Though, I don't *quite* believe that they are pointless. Has anyone tried putting them into that thing under the College of Winterhold? Even if they really are pointless in game, I can't help but wonder if some level designer decided it would be hilarious to mess with players by including them. And that level designer is sitting somewhere right now laughing hysterically. Honestly, he probably *is* Sheogorath.
U mean the atronach forge or that daedric gauntlet that summons a daedra that takes u to a secret treasure chest if u put a bunch of rings on them? I know nearly every secret in the game but those bugs continued to elude me
I thought the bugs in the jar was sent by Sheo warning of a war but because no one could read it, it's also a great way to just amuse himself.
"Seriously, Bethesda's community staff are wonderful"
Well that didnt age well
Wouldn't be surprised, if they made a return in the next Elder Scrolls game, likley doing nothing as well, just as one of thsoe fan things.
Darkside Royalty Lore keep going on and on in every game...kinda like..hmm...sweetrolls?😂
and fishsticks/fishysticks
Oh you can rest assured theyll be included since the next elder scrolls will be another skyrim rerelease
Is it on the N64 yet?
bethesda would be the ultimate troll
I love the part where he says the game is full of detail as I watch two butterflies form into one on a flower
butterception
Jamie Bain lol
Toaster, correction: butt-ception.
Lol!!
There's actually another bug not mentioned in the video. It's the purple butterfly in a jar, it's found in the pelagius wing in the blue palace.
I also have a green butterfly and a blissbug in a jar.
@@EricaJoyArts creation club content (fanmade), same with purple butterfly. The canon question for CC content is kind of controversial within the community.
To save people from 16 minutes:
Confirmed by a skyrim level designer, the jars are nothing but an unfinished quest line.
Ah, thank you
Can't wait to hear M'aiq's oppinion about this in ES6!
Yeah actually, that will probably be a thing what with the bugs in jars being one of if not the largest theories in the elder scrolls.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a voice line he will say thats something like "In the lands of skyrim people obsess over trivial things and look for a deeper meaning when there isn't one, sometimes a bug in a jar is just a bug in a jar."
Nyghtking, send that quote to Bethesda, it's perfect.
Fuck yea, shit is dope yo.
Find the artist and find out what the original idea was!
agreed. after how many people and how many years its taken to figure this out i feel like we deserve to know what it was.
Agreed . It's not solved until we know what was the original idea behind the bugs in jars.
And then maybe we can ask them for downloadable content that tie up the bug jars with a side quest. >; )
you talk like artists get told everything about the development , truth is they aren't , they just get told what to make not why usually. and when told why in those rare cases there is this thing about non disclosure agreements .
I just commented something like that and then I scrolled down a bit and saw your comment
I think it could be a cut quest for Rune in the thieves guild
omg and you surround Rune's rune with the bugs and out pops his parents!
You find rune's rune in a shipwreck I believe. He doesn't respond to you having it tho
@@zynx1828 wait in Skyrim he says he has the rune there's even a note from a friend of his who says he can't find out anything about the rune he even took it to the mages college and nothing.
@@curtismcpsycho8212 the shipwreck is above the college there's this weird rune their.
Now I don't remember clearly so this might be false but I thing you could pick it up but even if you did rune did not change his dialogue.
This was years ago so yeah might not be true. You can look it up
@@zynx1828 isnt that for brand-shei?
Didn't grandma Shirley solve this?
She was with a khajit who told her a story, of a time he was held prisoner
By a lady who turned people into bugs , marking their old names on the inside of the lids to these jars
Then would eat them
Who would win?
A 30,000 million player base consisting of dedicated internet theorists
or
Some buggy bois?
XD
30,000,000,000?
Thats More than there are people on earth. xD
1000 mill is a billion
hes still right
What I find really funny about all the conspiracy theories is how hard they focus on the runes, the locations of the jars, the numbers or letters or whatever that they think they've found...
Literally nobody ever mentions the actual bugs. Like. None of the theories out there. None of them make any connection between the bugs themselves and anything.
I mean, I'm sure, as an unfinished concept, it doesn't matter anyway. I just find it amusing how focused the tunnel vision became that they focused on all the clues except the BIG FLOATING ANIMATED ONE.
And the fact that they breathe without airholes. And never die.
Well. Reference to The Sims. Bugs in a jar/containment for a display for someone's pleasure.
@@cynthash100 it's Skyrim, it's probably a magical bug or jar that keeps them alive.
Also the wings are upside down on the monarch (orange) butterfly... What does THAT mean???
The bee and the torchbug locations make sense, do you have any explanation to the other three?
The Skyrim players: how about you add some of the unfinished content to the game to give us more stuff to do?
Bethesda Games: ummm.... ELDER SCROLLS 5 SKYRIM DS EDITION!
The Skyrim players: oh cool...
For some reason I always thought in my head cannon these symbols on the lids, once all collected, spelled out the true name of 'Rune' from the Thieves Guild.
Ah, but see, you ceased your detective work just short of pursuing yet another potential lead. Now it's time to track down the "artist" in question and ask them what they had in mind!
*^*
Yes!
bump
Lets wait another 67 years
Probably was the guy who just said yeah, and disappeared. Cause he was still mad it didn't get accepted lol
After converting the letters into numbers, removing the dashes, and adding the numbers up, I got 149111. 1/4/9111. The release date of TES VI.
Knowing Bethesda that dat will be another Skyrim remake
Hopfully with microtransactions 😄
Daniel Privou inevitably with microtransactions.
I dont Know it'll be The Elder Scrolls Skyrim: ATM Edition
+Kermit the frog
Yeah, and they just charge $15 to your bank account for every hour you play
It's a secret game-ending Thu'um.
There'd be an inlet for the jars to set.
And when displayed in proper sequence, you'd gain a Thu'um the Dovahkiin made through this process;
Rii Siiv Pah
essence, find/found, all … where did you get the idea for this thu’um im confused
@@elissalesse8320 just that.. an idea.. i realize now i didnt inflect the joking manner, my apologies for the confusion.
It's weird how the purple butterfly in the jar isn't mentioned here because it also has runes on the lid of the jar and it was also found in the Blue Palace of solitude
I find this explanation very *jarring*
Eliran Tuil Get out
Tommy Stone I was waiting for someone to ask me.
My god...
It kinda bugged me too
Eliran Tuil crap I stole your joke now I have to delete it
That is... disappointing...
but hardly surprising
Thanks for clarifying it though
I expected this outcome, I'm actually more surprised and disappointed that I haven't seen any modders do something with the jars and actually make one of those many theories an actual thing... ugh, and Bethesda expects me to pay these "creative" people for their hobby, lol.
It might actually be pretty cool for someone to come up with a mod involving these. Maybe redesign them so they connect with the dragon language or something to have it lead deeper into an actual labyrinth or ruin or multiple cave systems, with lots of hard or leveled fights and maybe a word wall or 2 along with a couple artifacts from the previous games.
Something that has always irked me is that the monarch butterfly in this game has its wings put on backwards. And once you see it, and know about it, it will always bother you.
Camel is the dragonborn detective we need, but don't deserve.
Spends 6 years trying to figure out an unsolvable problem, "Yeah they mean nothing"
Piano Boy Just like religion
Damn fuckin roasted
love this channel still talks about my favorite game of all time that practically built my late childhood
Imagine The Elder Scrolls VI will give this eternal riddle a closer by adding neat easter egg, that could kinda tell us what this ment all along ( Even if it truely did not have any meaning originally and will be just given one for a proper closer ).
If it will actually happen in The Eleder Scrolls VI, it would feel right, it would feel complete.
My favourite jar is Jar Jar's Jar Jar Jar
Jesse McCree you should use the capital letters like this: My favorite jar is Jar jar's Jar jar jar
As names begin with a capital letter
Jesse McCree Whatr you a jar head?
"Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo" is a correct sentence
*ECH.*
Man-Eating Bagel I did not know Ted ed made a video about it. I just heard that fact thrown around before
It's not a bug, it's a feature!
I love it 😂😆
Found this really interesting, the build up and over all the 6 years story. Very well made. Thank you Camelworks! Keep up the great vids! :)
Does anyone remember the stuffed argonian head in Morrowind? It was on a plaque and everything.
Or how about the room under the temple of vivec that had some pipe things you could press on but seemed to do nothing. Did anyone ever manage to figure what was up with those two things?
the only thing more buggy than a Bethesda launch... are bugs in jars
... in a Bethesda game.
that could actually be a mod
wolfkilljoy that was punny
He takes 16 minutes to tell you there's nothing to them and it was a cut idea.
Go enjoy something else with the time I've saved you.
You're welcome.
Zac Fitzgerald thanks!
Zac Fitzgerald Phanks
He even has a comment with a timestamp to the answer and states in the beginning of the video that there will be a timestamp in the comment section... so yeah... your comment was pretty unnecessary
I wish I read this 16 minutes ago :D
thanks heaps
So, now we detective our way into finding who did the art to see if they remember their idea?
Knowing bethesda, we should've expected this.
good decorations though , I like how they look in my collection room
Trusty Snakes , I always assumed they were just a collectible
Though the jar-lids themselves don't have a greater meaning behind them, where they where placed does.
In the Golden Glow Estate can be found the Bee which relates to the production of honey-brew mead.
In the Alchemist shack can be found the Butterfly which (though not uniquely)relates to alchemy. Though there may be a greater connection I don't know of.
At the Orchimer Stronghold can be found the Dragonfly which I don't think has a legit connection.
Inside Duskglow Cave can be found the Moth which relates to the name of the cave with it's moon like glow.
Inside Frostflow Lighthouse can be found the Firefly which glows brightly in the night... like a Lighthouse.
As stated, this was most likely not their intended meaning, but the team still did a great job placing them in places that relates quite well to the locations. Possible exceptions being the Butterfly and Dragonfly.
Wasn't the hero god of Orcs a dragon?
Technically, I think all mead is brewed with honey. But the bee being at an apiary does make a ton of sense.
Elder Scrolls Detective: I believe your findings regarding Bugs in Jars; however, if you'd like a story that takes advantage of the bugs and incorporates the scratches on the underside of the jar lids, consider the Inigo mod. An entire story line and dialog with the jarred bug(s) you find in the game. Pretty neat.
I've been wondering about the bugs in jars for the 3 or 4 years I've played skyrim, Thanks for finally revealing the mystery that I've been trying to solve, good work on all the effort you put in to this
You see folks, these bugs were trapped in jars by a group of horrible Nordic Raiders. You can help them to escape, but you'll have to pay $99.99
ExclusivePillow Calm down, EA.
Sean N LOL! I was making a Creation Club joke but I forgot about thay ordeal
EA sports, In the game
ExclusivePillow *EA joined match*
And buy all 10 different versions of skyrim: pc, xbox360, xbox 1, xbox1x, xbox 1s, ps3, ps4, ps4 pro, VR, and Nintendo Switch
somewhere out there is an artist that made the jars, and THEY know what thy wer supposed to mean!
It is the secret summoning ritual. For summoning C'thulhu.
Obviously every conspiricy eventually connects to the dwemer and future TES titles so dwemer in TESVI confirmed?
imagine finally finding this person after over 6 years just for him to say something like "ummmm I don't know"
" I dont wanna take a crap on anyone's idea "... 17 minute of Hershey squirts for a 5 minute explanation.
I swore a long time ago that the bugs in jars were connected to Rune, that guy in the Thieves' Guild, and I still hope that that was what was cut.
Just because the quest the symbols were related to was cut doesn't mean they don't have any meaning. If we could just get the details about what the quest was going to be, we would know what they mean.
Okay, so who wants to speculate about what the bug plotline was SUPPOSED to be?
Personally, I want to say they were supposed to be connected to a sort of scavenger hunt quest that would involve needing to find all the bugs (and I think there were originally more of them) and then translating the runes (via a book that never got implemented when the idea was rejected) and then the runes would tell you how to find the treasure (which might be a weapon or a spell of some kind)
Now see, that's what I've always thought. They're part of an abandoned questline.
I love the bugs in jars. They just are, and I find it delightful
I never knew there were 5. I've played since the beginning and thought I'd covered every corner several times
I personally would love a mod that uses the bugs in jars where you take each bug jar to a certain point and you fight a giant version of that bug it could easily just be a reskinned dragon and the reward be something like summon that particular bug like for the bee you summon a swarm of bees that attack enemies the dragonfly is a rideable small dragon that acts like a horse the butterfly and moth be a levitating and or fetching creature and the torchbug be a summonable light source that's actually useful. Or you just have the bugs in jars and when you have them on your person you get greater stuff from the the bugs of the jars you have
I personally think it could be like a powerful alchemist that wanted these bugs for whatever reason, then when you finish the quest for him, he makes it where the perk to gain double the plants when you pick them also works on bugs... Because magic or something.
I'd just like a perm buff for a quest reward after you'd release the bugs to certain spawn points around the map. Maybe a buff to restoration spells that heal others or since you showed kindness to nature maybe a buff that makes Spriggans become neutral towards you. The buff could be called "Simple Kindness"
Lol. The tenacity on your search for answers is amazing.
Its been years since you put out this video. I was content with that answer. But now, having FINALLY gotten the updated anniversary edition, THERES EVEN MORE BUGS IN JARS! WHY?!
6 years of conspiracy and it turns out it was nothing. NOTHING.
TheLeopardGaming To be honest, i always thougt exactly that. But i loved the Storys about it^^
Unless the they are secretly how Bethesda sealed the Microtransaction demon in their studio years ago(specifically the game studio not their parent or sister organizations)
We don't talk about YOU'RE IN THE GAME! anymore Jonathan...
Veiled Sky I’m betting it was Steve, he’s always been a shifty bastard
You sir are fucking funny.
I was half-way expecting a scene at the end with someone at BGS sitting in the dark watching this video and after it ends he just starts gradually laughing maniacally while stroking a cat as the camera pans to reveal the room to be filled with bugs in jars or something.
Apparently the runes symbolised 5 cities such as whiterun, morthal, winterhold, windhealm and dawnstar, which makes a pentagon on the map and in the middle of each line is a dragon word wall or standing stone and at the centre of it all is a shrine to TALOS and if you put the jars in a Pacific order there u started dooms day, that's probably why it was cut because then elder Scrolls 6 would be an apocalypse and we don't need another fallout game 😒
Source: trust me bro
The creator of Inigo has his own story attached to the bugs in jars and I love it! XD
Nice video, but the actual question about "Bugs In Jars" is not about world wide conspiracy, but what that cutout quest was about and what that runes can meens?
I always wondered what that runes means in game lore, and not think about vikings and illuminati.
Maybe one guy really wanted to shove in another ingame language, but developer said "no"?
P.S. Sorry for my poor english.
muskdeer 92 perhaps these are letters in the dragon language alphabet? The Thu'ums?
I always assumed the bugs had runes on them that helped you understand what Rune's (from the thieves guild) necklace was meant to be
I definitely agree with this, the bugs in the jars is not some illuminati conspiracy theory but about the quest that was cut. the runes obviously mean something and there are videos that show how the runes reveal the location of the other jars, it was still a quest (one that may have been cut out) and the runes had a meaning or else they wouldn't be there.
I am just saying a game with over 10,000 items in it. 300+ easter eggs and maybe 100's of quest ideas that got denied. Even if you found the guy that did the art and then he handed you over the guy that actually came up with the idea for a quest to answer your bug in the jar question. I am almost 100% sure he would have said yeah, Some drunken bastard had a thing for bugs in the College of Wizards if you collected them and gave them to him. He'd shake your hand... Yeah it got scrapped..
The runes are in elder futhark pt 5 of this shows it th-cam.com/video/40el-6wBAkk/w-d-xo.html
I found a sixth jar in the anniversary edition with a green butterfly in a jar.
With runes on the lid. To get it you have to to Markarth and find Ri'saad the khajit karavan merchant on the streets outside the City. He'll give you a quest to kill bandits he has problems with. At some point during the quest you have to go into the new dungeon the Solitudes Severs. At the end of the dungeon is the jar standing on a table
DESPITE MY GUITAR, I AM STILL JUST A BUG IN A JAR !!!
We dont need to give explanations hey players leave those jars alone
This is just hilarious! WHATEVER Bethesda ever does, it will be like, millions of people wasting their lives analysing it.
So on some Skyrim players deathbed, her daughter sits next to her.
Player: My darling. I have lived a long life. I have lived a good life. But I have a simgle regret. My soul will never be at peace before I know the answer. WHAT DOES THOSE FREAKINGS BUGS IN JARS *MEAN* ???
Daughter: Mom.. I looked it up on the Internet. I searced for long, and at last I've found the truth. They don't mean a goodamn thing.
*Mother instantly dies*
@@ruebene2223 LMFAO
They should revel it in es6
I'm actually quite sad
When I found out about this like 4 years ago I was so curios and the final answer is that it means
Just nothing 😭
X Gunslinger X what's curios
merchent of Venice I was really curios of to what they meant 😊
you mean curious XD curios is short for curiosities, oddities... which those little jarred creepers are :p
@x Gunslinger X dont be sad my SheildBrother, the time has come , all of the truth will be reveled!! ohhh.. a squirrel
Dovahkiin thank you wolf brother
Ahhhh skyrim references
The closed captions are the best on these - 2:42 "At the awesomest stronghold of - Nikki ow inside a burger longhouse we can find a dragonfly in a jar"
I always thought they were just cute collectables lol. Thanks for covering this.
Oh god... I knew this would end in an anticlimactic conclusion.
I'm not satisfied. I mean, I believe the story, but I want to know more. Who was the artist responsible? What was the unfinished quest? These are things I must find out...
At this point, if we were to be told what the quest plan was, it could have easily been patched in or modded in by the community.
I'd wager even the artist who conceptualized and put together the whole bugs in jars thing probably doesn't even remember ... We're talking about some half thought out mini quest thing that never got greenlit from 8 to 10 years ago. That artist has worked on literally thousands of assets for dozens of different projects probably with multiple companies since then.
This video made my day, thank you. So glad to get answer of any kind.
Wow 😳 that's is Funny and Fun to trying to Figure out. Thanks for all the info. You really make a good detective. Thanks for the heads up.
I don’t know what it is but every time I watch your videos I want to go back and play Skyrim
PlantingOne me too
PlantingOne Same man, wish i could play it again for the first time
Ikr
PlantingOne same but my skyrim broke
But...Mr. Dragonfly says otherwise. I know so. Me a Khajiit and my Indigo colored Khajiit friend said so. It is all a plot. A Plot in Windhelm. DoN't LaUGh At ME aT mE!
And did you see a Psijic Monk disappear too? Been hitting the skooma, I think.
Looks like I found two new rugs :D
James Parker you want to turn us into rugs huh?! We're gonna wipe our feet on your corpse ! ( Its a little edited quote of his)
Articus Ramos disable your mods
Tim, please pause and re-read his last sentence again, remembering what Skyrim things they're talking about.
You know, that was really great. But honestly, what i MOST appreciated about this video were your kindly coordinates letting me know where exactly to find each jar. Now my hearth can look complete. They are simply wonderful collector's items. Great conversation pieces! Hahahah. Liked, subbed, love the content. You're great Mate! Carry On!
