I can't believe you killed Lydia almost directly after meeting her with an arrow in her back! Poor Lydia... 😢😂 in the early stages she is a quite useful follower.
Trolls in the early game are no joke. And the Frost Troll on the way up to High Hrothgar has become a bit of a meme to Skyrim players. I think most of us remember our first time facing a troll at a low level like that.
Totally lol, I remember my first playthrough back in the day I had Lydia who immediately ran to fight the frost troll on the path to HH lol, I died like 4 times then realized I could run past him instead lol.
The annoying thing about Lydia is that she can't die unless you kill her, but she's notorious about stepping in front of you right as you fire an arrow.
I accidentally tagged Lydia with a fireball during a dungeon run -- oops. The room was really difficult for my character to clear and my last autosave was like 20 minutes ago, so I left her there. It was a long, rough (and generally overencumbered) trek through the rest of the dungeon and out to safety.
Happy Saturday! This is the longest video so far of the Skyrim 1st playthrough series and I hope you enjoy! A huge thank you for your support as always!! Episode 8 is HERE: th-cam.com/video/b2h1wp00rUY/w-d-xo.html
I'm only at the part where you fought the troll, but if you didn't figure it out eventually, spells and shouts/powers are separate things. You can have both a spell and a shout/power equipped at one time, shouts/powers are right bumper by default. Also you should save more often! That way if something goes extra wrong you can just reload your save and not lose much progress
to get the full Skyrim experience you MUST take Lydia with you, so glad you picked her, you're not the only one who accidentally shot Lydia and killed her 😥 . Faendal will be waiting for you back at his house in Riverwood should you need him. Remember, asking your follower to carry stuff is part of their job, also you can and should give your follower armor and weapons you find along the way, or you can give them your left-over armor that you have crafted. playing dress-up is fun, even if you're a Troll
You can save your place randomly as often as you go, so you could've started your troll fight again from your last save place during the fight and bring Lydia back alive that way. It sucks to lose friends while playing Skyrim. I know this is your first time playing Skyrim. I started it over again and again because of a few quirky things I learned and how to make a living for myself without doing the main story since fighting dragons everywhere all the time sucks. You should do things easily if you need to aviod the same mistakes I encountered. Don't do the Dawnguard quest yet till you are powerful or a much higher level where you feel satisfied 😉. Fighting vampires are frustrating.
I loved my first playthrough of Skyrim years ago, I love these! I recently started playing again with the DLC’s I’ve never played before. There’s console commands you can use on PC to make Skyrim the way you like it to, such as making followers essential (not die) or even mods that allow you to have multiple followers lol, I didn’t like choosing either
It's really sad that Lidya died. Companions usually don't die while fighting, they just become "out of breath" for a while and then get back up, but if you accidentally hit them (like you did) they actually die. Sometimes it's hard to avoid doing it, but keep that in mind for your next companion. The dragon bones and scales are very heavy. They can be used to make armor, but you need to improve your blacksmithing a lot for that. They're expensive though, so you can sell them for now. You can save up for a house (you already can buy one in Whiterun) and store your shit there. I recently discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying these series. I wish I could experience Skyrim for the first time again.
Lydia and the other house carls aren't flagged as essential which makes them mortal. Most other companions have the essential flag and thus they can't be killed (neither by player or by enemies).
That troll battle was crazy, poor Lydia 😭. You don't want to mess with trolls in the early game, their health regeneration is absurd. BTW, never feel bad about reloading an older save if something happens like a follower dying. I tend to quicksave often for that exact reason because followers aren't supposed to die unless the player hits them, and hitting them by accident is pretty easy in the heat of battle
@@caelum9471 Yeah, they usually either die by player oops or AOE attack, but some enemies can exceed whatever the threshold is in one hit. I've had more than one follower killed outright by Karstaag.
Dragon Bones and skin are use x 2 dragón armors when you reach 100 points in smithing and also got perks to reach It and for make a potion for fight dragóns very powerful ones
When you originally picked Faendal I thought the rite of passage of accidentally killing Lydia wouldn't happen, so this was such a satisfying episode! 😂
I was very impressed you found that secret path through the mountain to Ivarstead at 25:14. Neat little shortcut. It took a few playthroughs before I discovered it. The usual path is on the road following the river around the base of the mountain before you take a slow descent up the plateau. Also RIP Lydia. She served you well during those 10 minutes.
This playthrough has already been so fun and Im glad youre loving it :) to this day Skyrim is still one of my favorite games and being able to see someone come to adore it just like we all did has been a treat. Hope all is well and you continue having great adventures in the land of the Nords!!!
I knew the moment you decided to take Lydia over faendal I was gonna see some funny shit and I was not disappointed. Watching you shoot her in the back with that arrow had me dying more than she did 😂😂 what a great playthrough
We will cherish and remember the memories of you such as the time when we first met you and then died 10 minutes later to a "troll". RIP Lydia 2022-2022
With Lydia gone, you'll never know the joy of waking in the morning to find her standing in the doorway, waiting for you. Standing there, blocking the exit. Calmly standing there, oblivious to your efforts to get out of the room. Sometimes, that woman is more trouble than a troll.
Thanes and housecarls are from Viking culture. A thane is like a knight, you have basically been knighted. A housecarl is a personal body guard or household guard, sometime a manager of the home -- in game this a follower who will fight and carry thing for you. It come from house + carl (old Norse for a free peasant).
It is so nice that you're into alchemy, it is a great way to learn about Skyrim's flora. The ingredients are spread across the map in really consistent and neat ways. Some fungi only grow on rotting logs, there are bugs that only show up a night and on it goes
Alchemy is so underrated by most players, but its by far the best way to make money and potions are essential to help with any situation. I pick up every flower, mushroom salts etc I see and when I've got a load go on an alchemy binge. Putting perks into the alchemy tree is essential especially the perks that show you more effects.
The look of dejection when Lydia walked away is pretty funny. First trip to the greybeards tends to take awhile. Especially if you look for shortcuts. Then of course there's the troll. Oh. Guess thats what Lydia gets for walking away earlier. That's not even THE troll. Rip Lydia Befriended ep 7 14:30 Lost ep 7. 29:07
@@alejomanfra6706 idk why but I never have, I’ve done sword and shield twice and two handed a bunch now I’m on spells. stealth archer is lame but stealth dagger is hypeeee
@@tannersrdr2clips432 i've just started a new play on a new console with the latest release of the Game. I started as a stealth archer and did mostly the thieves guild. Now I'm at 100 archery, dual wielding swords and in the dark Brotherhood. The sneak and archery come in handy as a base while I balance other skills up
Wow this game has really impacted your channel hasn't it hehe you'll be at 10k soon not to mention your just a really fun and entertaining person to watch being jumpscared hope u hàve a great day :)
Oh no Lydia! LMAO. Yeah -Trolls- can definitely be tough earl on. Also you can see your Active Effects in the Magic Menu. The Active Effects are things that give you buffs like shrine blessings, gift of charity, and voice of the sky. It will also show you any debuffs you might have picked up from diseases. Also, you can use the Ritual Stone and any Power using your Shout key.
What a wonderful Skyrim video you made there. And how I believe you that all is new to you. Simply great and so well executed. I want to thank you for letting Lydia die. Not that I am happy at all that she is dead, but usually players will reload there. And it was your arrow that killed her. Most followers are "essential" which means they will get hurt and when hurt too much they will go to a crouching state for a while, but the killing blow has to come from you. But you let the death of Lydia happen and continued, you failed defeating the troll and continued. This adds so much drama to the game that would be lost with reloading. Thanks again. I was moved.
Oh no lydiaaaaaaaa 😭😭 great episode, I recommend you to save money to buy a horse, you can spam the jump button with it to climb almost every rock. Also, at least for me. It is better to use one-handed weapons, so you can heal with one hand, and use the other one for Fighting, like you did with the dagger. Those scrolls that you asked about, you equip it like a weapon (if I'm not mistaken) and it throws a fire ball. And the things that you get from dragons (bones, and scales) are used to make armours and weapons but you need to be higher level. So, for now I recommend you to sell them, it gives good money. If you like to explore, it is not necessary to do the main quest, almost every npc have an interesting and fun quest to do. Much love from Argentina
That Voice of the Sky buff you got at the end is pretty obscure; almost everyone misses it. I love the Ritual Stone btw. It can raise multiple corpses at once so if you ever come across a battle or something you can resurrect all the corpses. I once had about a dozen zombies with me fighting multiple dragons. It was so epic.
Long since relevant, but ritual stone is in fact the most broken intended ability in the game. If you haven't, I recommend watching the spiffing brit's TH-cam video on it
First she ignores the marker for Ivarstead and tries to climb the Throat of the World to High Hrothgar, and completely misses, Valtheim Towers, Darkwater Crossing and everything else between them and after them, and then she gets Lydia killed!!!!!! Well at least she never has to hear Lydia say, "I am SWORN to carry your BURDENS!!!!".
@@cj7011 this no longer works, this was patched 6 years ago. now iron daggers are the worst source of smithing xp in the game. the current best way is to pick up all smeltable dwarven clutter and make it into ingots, and then craft bows with them, as well as picking up all iron, silver and gold ore you find, as well as all gold ingots and using master transmute from anniversary edition, or transmute from the base game to turn all of it into gold ore, then smelt it all into gold ingots. you can then turn all those gold ingots into gold rings. those two combined will get you to 100 smithing without having to grind it specifically, as you can do this passively throughout your playthrough. this also doubles in as an enchanting method as you can the enchant all the gear you make, and an alteration method as all that transmuting does get you quite a few levels in that.
Instances of fear and running and hiding and confusion are so fun (only half sarcasm) in Skyrim. I remember hiding under a logging building for nearly half an hour real time crouched and whining cause a dragon wouldn’t go away, my companion died, I didn’t know how to fast travel, lots of npcs were dying against my wILL-- a right of passage truly. (Troll, lol)
Making it to High Hrothgar at level 4 is quite an accomplishment! Good job getting past the troll! See a troll, take a stroll. Eventually you'll be strong and tough enough to kill them with one blow. Tip: Save your game early and often. Then if something unacceptable happens, you can go back and try again. Waiting for Episode 8!
Troll. I don't think I've face palmed and laughed so much watching a video! it's the unintentional things that are the funniest, kills someone, even Lydia, "oh I'm so sorry, I feel so bad ", * starts looting the corpse * 😂
Nice to see another video up during a s busy day. It makes me happy seeing people play a game I love for the first time and enjoying it. For future reference, when you're looking to sell your items, shop owners will only accept items that fit the class they specialize in. For example, blacksmiths will only accept armor, weapons, ores, etc. Jewelers will only accept jems and jewelery, so on and so forth.
Your friend is invincible LOL The only one who can kill your followers permanently is yourself, and you took her an arrow on the backneck XD That was so funny, F for Lydia
To avoid disappointments, safe after every kill you made, item you got. Safe before fights, if you lose your friend, or yourself, reload. Safe during long journeys. You can play on during a safe, it does not hold up the game. I play on keyboard only, i can make favorites weapons/shouts/powers and give them a number for quick mounting. The spell clairvoyance is very usefull to guide you into the right direction. Don't worry you will make new friends.
@@LizXP also, if you don't injure your followers, they can't be killed. Except dogs, they can die in fights like horses. Most of us have killed Lydia (at least once) so don't feel bad. Just be aware when fighting. Honestly there will be times you'll wish they were dead, like when they block you in a room or "nudge" you off a cliff you were trying to snipe from...😂 Falls from high up will kill you and your horse, but you can also "side step" down nearly vertical cliffs without injury...weird.
I use an autosave mod so I don't have to think about it. It drops a save for me roughly every 2 minutes. When you have nearly 500 mods installed, it's a godsend.
The Dragon Bones & Scales are used in Smithing but have to be at lvl 100 Smithing Skill Perks to use them. It's worth getting to the point in any/every playthrough. But especially if you're an Archery Character/Build because a Dragonbone Bow is the strongest in the game (unenchanted). The best advice for this game, Save often! Just in case a Bug/Glitch causes problems or in case you make a mistake so can reload a save to hopefully not make it again:(
You made it around that troll pretty effectively! Congrats Dragonborn, you climbed the 7000 steps. And yes, I tried counting the steps once. I lost track at around 200
There are just over 700 steps, which makes sense since everything in Skyrim is at 1/10 scale (that's why the cities and villages seem so small - they only appear at 10% of the size they would actually be if they were real)
You gotta pay the "troll" toll if you want to get that Dragon soul! Tips: -Trolls are weak to fire and stop regenerating health while burning (you were so close!) -That Unusual Gem can be appraised by a certain member of the Thieves Guild in Riften, it's one of 24 scattered around Skyrim -Rather than raise the dead, the Conjuration skill allows you to summon your own minions whenever you have enough magika, I find that much more reliable than raising the dead for a short duration, you can buy some spells from the College of Winterhold -Save often! Especially while outside on long treks! -You can't fast travel from indoors -Sell those dragon bones or buy a house to deposit them, they weigh a ton!
@@LizXP PS: there are various sellers in skyrim and some only sellcertain types of goods, so a fisher will sell you food ingredients and an alchemist will sell you ingredients and potions etc. To sell odd things you either go to general stores or purchase a perk in the speech skill tree although, the second path may make you deviate from the playstyle you originally want so it's up to you. Considering how you use skill points in the game it might seem a little boring so I recommend using general stores. The little Klepto in me advises you to hire the carriage in front of Whiterun stables and taking a trip to Riften or trek it cross country and discover the place :) PSS: troll
Dangit. I haven't played skyrim in years. You are making me want to play it again. Thank you for great content. Subbed a few days ago and definitely enjoying watching you play.
Hey Liz, loving listening to the series as I'm studying for finals (craving Skyrim atm, so that's how I found your channel!) So happy to see you're enjoying this masterpiece for the first time. I don't know how much of a "full play through" you're trying / wanting to record, but different people offer different miscellaneous quests, so it doesn't hurt going through all of the dialogue options an NPC has to offer! Never know what rewards you might come across!
Lol that perfect headshot on Lydia. I usually have mods that change friendly fire and the amount of followers, never got to see one die like that in all my years of playing. Always nice to see new stuff. I know a lot of people reload saves often, might be an idea if you don't want to keep the loss but there are other followers in the game so not too bad of a situation. Glad to see you enjoying the game though. Can't wait to see what else you experience, thanks for the video Liz XP! Also forgot "Troll".
Until you get Speech 50 perk to sell anything to any merchant, Belethors general goods is your best friend. You can also sell bones and scales to the alchemy merchant to keep Belethor's gold total high for your other jewls and such
So, neat trick for if you ever accidentally aggro something tough again, you can hide in water. If you can find water deep enough to go underneath, none of the enemies in the game can actually swim, so they will not follow you. They will stand at the edge of the river, but it lets you attack freely by moving between water shallow enough to shoot from, and then ducking back into the "cover" of deeper water. Also, trolls auto-regenerate health every second unless they are on actively fire. That's why you thought you were healing it. Trolls, and giants are the toughest things you're going to fight in the early game, so I'd steer clear until you have a better grasp of how strong you are.
In my very first playthrough this particular ice troll chased me the entire 7000 steps down to Ivarstead, killed a few villagers, and was finally brought down by the town guards. 😱
2:47 It’s when your level increases that you’ll find more stuff whether through looting while you’re adventuring or buying from a vender. It changes based on your level
The thief, total jabroni. Trolls have fast health regeneration, so u were only healing urself. Also you killing Lydia was highlight of the vid xD #troll
Those trolls be trolling lol. A tip is that magic skills are tough to level up. Most of the time you are just sitting there using your spell on a dead corpse because using them legitimately takes forever.
@@LizXP remember your last follower? He went back to his village and you can find him and have him follow you again he's no Lydia but like stitch says still good
Just found and subscribed to your channel. As a Dad who played Skyrim with his kids, your dad would definitely like the game. I played for several years as a Kahjit and then a Dark Elf. Then I took a year off while playing other games. I played last year as a High Elf Mage and it was SO FUN getting back into the game. The music brought back fun memories. Thank you for playing this blind. I know it sounds weird, but it gives me a happy heart to see you experience it for the first time. Keep up the play-thru and streaming! Many adventures await you ;)
NPCs come in varying categories. Lydia has the category "Essential" that means that when her health is low she will crouch down and enemies will stop targeting her. But she can still take more damage in other ways, such as friendly fire from your attack.
The view from high hrothgar is absolutely beautiful, if you stand in the right place and look in the right direction. Trolls are the worst. Both in game and outside of it.
Your first trolls are always very scary, and brutal! I've always had a soft spot for Lydia as a follower, but she has died twice in my playthroughs, and on both times it was emotionally difficult (on the last one she was my characters wife!). Had to keep going though, because I was trying to stay honest to my characters path, through triumph and woe.... keep in mind that your attacks can harm friendlies, so be careful during melees!
Dragon bones and scales can be used to make armor but you have to be lvl 100 in smithing plus have the perk to make dragon armor. Most people use them for money since dragons are always popping up and they sell for decent gold.
Just a useful tip.... you can add your weapons, magic and even apparel in the favourite menu. Then, you just press the pad arrows to open it, and equip what you want without having to enter the menu everytime
It is a late game thing since your smithing skill needs to be all the way up to 100 to craft the dragon armor. So sell them early game and also if you don't plan on smithing.
Powers and shouts are used by hitting one of the other trigger buttons instead of the attack button. I'd play around with it so you know how to use it. It is so you can have a power or shout equipped and you have have both your hands free to equip magic or weapons. There's also a setting, I think, to change if your followers can die. Otherwise they die left and right, unfortunately. I thought they had changed that in some of the updated versions of the game.
I love how you're a kind and genuine person I really enjoy watching you on your journey I'm having almost as fun as you ps those trolls are mean and stinky 😆
Re-living these moments through fresh eyes has been amazing. Love that you're discovering the game in your own way; keep that blindfold on! Except during epic troll duels of course. Or else you may accidentally shoot and kill a friend.
Your Skyrim playthrough videos are quickly becoming a welcome and enjoyable part of my weekly routine! R.I.P. Lydia; I was honestly surprised at how difficult a fight that TROLL put up. I think you did the right thing to sneak past that second TROLL on the way up to High Hrothgrar (that second one was a Frost Troll, which is a variant species even tougher and stronger than the common Troll you met on your way up to Ivarstead). I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll reach 10,000 subscribers by the New Year (if not sooner!). You videos are really good. 🙂
She should climb hill and be sneaky in highs and woods and shoot arrows with enchanted fire bow to trolls ... She has got BEST bowman of the Game...fire to trolls is like cryptonite to superman
He is right about the frost troll. Nasty ones they are, especially for your enemies if you have one trained to fight for you, fully armoured up in heavy armour when you purchase the Dawnstar DLC you get a frost troll eventually. great for killing the master vampire to gain access to the castle with minimal casualties on the way into the castle.

@@cezetace284 Yes its shock the trolls don't like, now you refreshed my memory not fire but they do burn well. The dragon killing sword makes light work of trolls too. Dragonbane
I remember pulling off this incredble long shot fatality with a bow, being really pleased as I see the animation following the arrow and then it all turning to horror as I realised it was in fact Lyida I just hit
You need to keep the soul gems to recharge your enchanted weapons. Stamina lets you carry more 🙂 When a skeever or a wolf attacks you check your health to see if you have an infection. As you may know red dots means enemies
I can't believe you killed Lydia! Daaannng. I always save right before combat in case my follower dies so that I can go back to that last save and do the fight over to keep them alive. There's also, if you're interested, some nice mods that help out with these unfortunate things. There's a mod that prevents friendly fire so that you cannot accidentally kill your follower, but your follower can still be killed by enemies. In addition to trolls, you should stay away from giants as well until you level up a lot.
It's a level dependent quest though, so don't level up too much. You'll find ice wraiths, frostbite spiders, bears and even a dragon at higher levels. The troll is the only consistent encounter.
Great video!!! Excellent sneaking by that TROLL!! The Varla stone you afraid to sell is a refillable soul gem. Useful for when you start enchanting and using enchanted weapons. Love the series!!
Here's my one-tip-per-video for today's video. 😁 However, remember that having fun is more important than following people's advice on how to play. 🙂👍 It's best to specialize in a few skills, rather than trying to use them all. For example, stick to one-handed or two-handed, but not both. Or for magic-users, specialize in 2 or 3 schools of magic; not all 5. Same for armors; stick with all heavy or all light armor pieces.
Liz, glad you're following the story. Feel free to do what you want and there truly are 1000 different things to find in exploration, but it's more satisfying for me to watch you play 1 quest at a time. Helpful hint: when you have a follower that can train you in something, you can train with them and then get into their menu and get your money back. A follower will effectively train you for free. Dragon bones are good to sell early. They are heavy and get you good money. If you build your smithing skill to 100, you can use them to build Dragon armor. Keep having fun. Watching you makes me want to get back into Skyrim for the 80th time. 😀 And yes, trolls suck. They regenerate health so you have to be strong enough to take them on quickly.
Bruh, this is absolutely beautiful. Now ive been a Bethesda fan for over a decade, spanning out to my first playthrough with Morrowind. But, holy f"ing Shizzle, you were killing me in the first few episodes. LMFAO. Love that this game is still getting the recognition it needs. Props Liz XP

You can save your place randomly as often as you go, so you could've started your troll fight again from your last save place during the fight and bring Lydia back alive that way. It sucks to lose friends while playing Skyrim. I know this is your first time playing Skyrim. I started it over again and again because of a few quirky things I learned and how to make a living for myself without doing the main story since fighting dragons everywhere all the time sucks. You should do things easily if you need to aviod the same mistakes I encountered. Don't do the Dawnguard quest yet till you are powerful or a much higher level where you feel satisfied 😉. Fighting vampires are frustrating.
I loved my first playthrough of Skyrim years ago, I love these! I recently started playing again with the DLC’s I’ve never played before. There’s console commands you can use on PC to make Skyrim the way you like it to, such as making followers essential (not die) or even mods that allow you to have multiple followers lol, I didn’t like choosing either
It's really sad that Lidya died. Companions usually don't die while fighting, they just become "out of breath" for a while and then get back up, but if you accidentally hit them (like you did) they actually die.
Sometimes it's hard to avoid doing it, but keep that in mind for your next companion.
The dragon bones and scales are very heavy. They can be used to make armor, but you need to improve your blacksmithing a lot for that. They're expensive though, so you can sell them for now.
You can save up for a house (you already can buy one in Whiterun) and store your shit there.
I recently discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying these series. I wish I could experience Skyrim for the first time again.
Lydia and the other house carls aren't flagged as essential which makes them mortal. Most other companions have the essential flag and thus they can't be killed (neither by player or by enemies).
If you are on pc… just use the console to set your favorite characters to essential.

That troll battle was crazy, poor Lydia 😭. You don't want to mess with trolls in the early game, their health regeneration is absurd. BTW, never feel bad about reloading an older save if something happens like a follower dying. I tend to quicksave often for that exact reason because followers aren't supposed to die unless the player hits them, and hitting them by accident is pretty easy in the heat of battle
Followers can also die if they receive a lot of damage while in their downed state, even if it isn't from the player.
@@snapwilson316 I never knew that. Probably because whenever followers get downed by an enemy, they just switch their aggro onto you.
Yeah, saving and reloading has been a staple of play since my Elder Scrolls 2 days
@@caelum9471 Yeah, they usually either die by player oops or AOE attack, but some enemies can exceed whatever the threshold is in one hit. I've had more than one follower killed outright by Karstaag.
Dragon Bones and skin are use x 2 dragón armors when you reach 100 points in smithing and also got perks to reach It and for make a potion for fight dragóns very powerful ones
“I hope there’s not another troll, idk if I can handle it” made me smile knowing what was coming
Lydia: "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow in my back" 🤣🤣
Your ability to run from trolls and still read every etched stone is quite impressive
AkTuaLlY
When you originally picked Faendal I thought the rite of passage of accidentally killing Lydia wouldn't happen, so this was such a satisfying episode! 😂
I was very impressed you found that secret path through the mountain to Ivarstead at 25:14. Neat little shortcut. It took a few playthroughs before I discovered it. The usual path is on the road following the river around the base of the mountain before you take a slow descent up the plateau. Also RIP Lydia. She served you well during those 10 minutes.
Smart move avoiding that frost troll on the mountain. If you thought the regular troll was bad enough just try fighting one of those. 💀
I felt so smart when I discovered that short cut through the mountains. Hell yeah let's go exploring!
I have thousands of hours under my belt playing Skyrim and didn't know about that path until today. This game, man.
Been playing for years never knew about that secret path lol have to remember its there now
@@Sangheillioz It took me a heck of a lot of runs before I found it too.
That moment you shot Lydia in the back and killed her, now that was a "Troll".
Ah yes you killed Lydia!!! Now this is the true Skyrim experience
This playthrough has already been so fun and Im glad youre loving it :) to this day Skyrim is still one of my favorite games and being able to see someone come to adore it just like we all did has been a treat. Hope all is well and you continue having great adventures in the land of the Nords!!!
Thank you so much!! It's been so fun!
@LizXP do you think you'll ever do an Oblivion playthrough?
I knew the moment you decided to take Lydia over faendal I was gonna see some funny shit and I was not disappointed. Watching you shoot her in the back with that arrow had me dying more than she did 😂😂 what a great playthrough
We will cherish and remember the memories of you such as the time when we first met you and then died 10 minutes later to a "troll".
RIP Lydia 2022-2022
The 2022-2022 had me crying from laughter 😭
(well technically, she died to a certain wood elf...)
With Lydia gone, you'll never know the joy of waking in the morning to find her standing in the doorway, waiting for you. Standing there, blocking the exit. Calmly standing there, oblivious to your efforts to get out of the room. Sometimes, that woman is more trouble than a troll.
Thanes and housecarls are from Viking culture. A thane is like a knight, you have basically been knighted. A housecarl is a personal body guard or household guard, sometime a manager of the home -- in game this a follower who will fight and carry thing for you. It come from house + carl (old Norse for a free peasant).
It is so nice that you're into alchemy, it is a great way to learn about Skyrim's flora. The ingredients are spread across the map in really consistent and neat ways. Some fungi only grow on rotting logs, there are bugs that only show up a night and on it goes
Alchemy is so underrated by most players, but its by far the best way to make money and potions are essential to help with any situation. I pick up every flower, mushroom salts etc I see and when I've got a load go on an alchemy binge. Putting perks into the alchemy tree is essential especially the perks that show you more effects.
The look of dejection when Lydia walked away is pretty funny. First trip to the greybeards tends to take awhile. Especially if you look for shortcuts. Then of course there's the troll.
Oh. Guess thats what Lydia gets for walking away earlier. That's not even THE troll.
Rip Lydia

Using a weapon while in sneak, gives you damage bonuses. Since you can fire a bow from a distance, it can be very advantageous.
That's how I played 3/4 of the game. Lol.

Wow this game has really impacted your channel hasn't it hehe you'll be at 10k soon not to mention your just a really fun and entertaining person to watch being jumpscared hope u hàve a great day :)
Thank you so much!!
Oh no Lydia! LMAO. Yeah -Trolls- can definitely be tough earl on. Also you can see your Active Effects in the Magic Menu. The Active Effects are things that give you buffs like shrine blessings, gift of charity, and voice of the sky. It will also show you any debuffs you might have picked up from diseases.
Also, you can use the Ritual Stone and any Power using your Shout key.
She can see the Ataxia she received from those skeevers, too. Drinking a "cure disease" potion or going to any shrine will remove the disease.
Lydia must never die she carries our burden
What a wonderful Skyrim video you made there. And how I believe you that all is new to you. Simply great and so well executed. I want to thank you for letting Lydia die. Not that I am happy at all that she is dead, but usually players will reload there. And it was your arrow that killed her. Most followers are "essential" which means they will get hurt and when hurt too much they will go to a crouching state for a while, but the killing blow has to come from you. But you let the death of Lydia happen and continued, you failed defeating the troll and continued. This adds so much drama to the game that would be lost with reloading. Thanks again. I was moved.
Oh no lydiaaaaaaaa 😭😭 great episode, I recommend you to save money to buy a horse, you can spam the jump button with it to climb almost every rock. Also, at least for me. It is better to use one-handed weapons, so you can heal with one hand, and use the other one for Fighting, like you did with the dagger. Those scrolls that you asked about, you equip it like a weapon (if I'm not mistaken) and it throws a fire ball. And the things that you get from dragons (bones, and scales) are used to make armours and weapons but you need to be higher level. So, for now I recommend you to sell them, it gives good money. If you like to explore, it is not necessary to do the main quest, almost every npc have an interesting and fun quest to do. Much love from Argentina
You are right, you equip them like a weapon. There are several kinds with different effects. They are like single-use spells.
Not to mention the vast majority of the game isn't the main quest. Only doing the main quest makes for a short game.
I love how your eyes popped when you saw the troll.
That Voice of the Sky buff you got at the end is pretty obscure; almost everyone misses it.
I love the Ritual Stone btw. It can raise multiple corpses at once so if you ever come across a battle or something you can resurrect all the corpses. I once had about a dozen zombies with me fighting multiple dragons. It was so epic.
Long since relevant, but ritual stone is in fact the most broken intended ability in the game. If you haven't, I recommend watching the spiffing brit's TH-cam video on it
First she ignores the marker for Ivarstead and tries to climb the Throat of the World to High Hrothgar, and completely misses, Valtheim Towers, Darkwater Crossing and everything else between them and after them, and then she gets Lydia killed!!!!!! Well at least she never has to hear Lydia say, "I am SWORN to carry your BURDENS!!!!".
Havent played Skyrim in ages so its really fun to rediscover the game with you. ☺
At 19:40 look at Lydia standing right in your way hahahaha. Classic Lydia.
Hey Liz, you can use the dragon bones and scales to build armor, but it takes a huge while to get to that level in smithing
The fastest Way to incrase forging is forging Jewellery
@@arminbrunner611 cool, didn't know that, I always go either thief with dagger and arch or Mage in any variation possible. I love mages in skyrim
@@brplaysm i Made a warmage at least. It hard to skill this because your oen destruction-spells are so weak in comparison to enemys
Thank you for the advice!!
@@cj7011 this no longer works, this was patched 6 years ago. now iron daggers are the worst source of smithing xp in the game. the current best way is to pick up all smeltable dwarven clutter and make it into ingots, and then craft bows with them, as well as picking up all iron, silver and gold ore you find, as well as all gold ingots and using master transmute from anniversary edition, or transmute from the base game to turn all of it into gold ore, then smelt it all into gold ingots. you can then turn all those gold ingots into gold rings. those two combined will get you to 100 smithing without having to grind it specifically, as you can do this passively throughout your playthrough. this also doubles in as an enchanting method as you can the enchant all the gear you make, and an alteration method as all that transmuting does get you quite a few levels in that.
Instances of fear and running and hiding and confusion are so fun (only half sarcasm) in Skyrim. I remember hiding under a logging building for nearly half an hour real time crouched and whining cause a dragon wouldn’t go away, my companion died, I didn’t know how to fast travel, lots of npcs were dying against my wILL-- a right of passage truly. (Troll, lol)
Making it to High Hrothgar at level 4 is quite an accomplishment! Good job getting past the troll! See a troll, take a stroll. Eventually you'll be strong and tough enough to kill them with one blow. Tip: Save your game early and often. Then if something unacceptable happens, you can go back and try again. Waiting for Episode 8!
Troll. I don't think I've face palmed and laughed so much watching a video! it's the unintentional things that are the funniest, kills someone, even Lydia, "oh I'm so sorry, I feel so bad ", * starts looting the corpse * 😂
Haha this is how I play games! Glad you laughed because I'm having so much fun too!
@@LizXP just finished episode 9 now. Only 32 more to go to catch up with where you're at now!
Nice to see another video up during a s busy day. It makes me happy seeing people play a game I love for the first time and enjoying it.
For future reference, when you're looking to sell your items, shop owners will only accept items that fit the class they specialize in. For example, blacksmiths will only accept armor, weapons, ores, etc. Jewelers will only accept jems and jewelery, so on and so forth.
That TROLL encounter was crazy 😅
Your friend is invincible LOL
The only one who can kill your followers permanently is yourself, and you took her an arrow on the backneck XD
That was so funny, F for Lydia
Omg! Of course! 😆
Always gotta watch out for that Troll, heading to High Hrothgar. Good luck in your playthrough!
Great job. 👍Thank you from an Elder Scrolls fan. may your roads lead you to warm sands!
Thank you so much!!
Trolls are a true menace on lower levels. Glad you were able to evade that second one. RIP Lydia, your loyal housecarl. Have fun with the greybeards.
To avoid disappointments, safe after every kill you made, item you got. Safe before fights, if you lose your friend, or yourself, reload. Safe during long journeys. You can play on during a safe, it does not hold up the game. I play on keyboard only, i can make favorites weapons/shouts/powers and give them a number for quick mounting. The spell clairvoyance is very usefull to guide you into the right direction. Don't worry you will make new friends.
Thank you for the tips!
*save
@@LizXP also, if you don't injure your followers, they can't be killed. Except dogs, they can die in fights like horses. Most of us have killed Lydia (at least once) so don't feel bad. Just be aware when fighting. Honestly there will be times you'll wish they were dead, like when they block you in a room or "nudge" you off a cliff you were trying to snipe from...😂
Falls from high up will kill you and your horse, but you can also "side step" down nearly vertical cliffs without injury...weird.
It’s also ok for followers to die… you can always find another one!
I use an autosave mod so I don't have to think about it. It drops a save for me roughly every 2 minutes. When you have nearly 500 mods installed, it's a godsend.
The Dragon Bones & Scales are used in Smithing but have to be at lvl 100 Smithing Skill Perks to use them. It's worth getting to the point in any/every playthrough. But especially if you're an Archery Character/Build because a Dragonbone Bow is the strongest in the game (unenchanted).
The best advice for this game, Save often! Just in case a Bug/Glitch causes problems or in case you make a mistake so can reload a save to hopefully not make it again:(
Also wanna say I love that you don't skip the long walks that skyrim has
You made it around that troll pretty effectively! Congrats Dragonborn, you climbed the 7000 steps.
And yes, I tried counting the steps once. I lost track at around 200
There are just over 700 steps, which makes sense since everything in Skyrim is at 1/10 scale (that's why the cities and villages seem so small - they only appear at 10% of the size they would actually be if they were real)
You can fish and you can catch diseases, so when people tell that you look weird is that you have something. Love watching you enjoying this game.
i'll be lurking while i enjoy the sunshine and go get lunch! i appreciate you so much!
I might be the only one in 2024 watching this, but I’m quite enjoying watching you play this game for the first time. Plan to watch every episode
You gotta pay the "troll" toll if you want to get that Dragon soul!
Tips:
-Trolls are weak to fire and stop regenerating health while burning (you were so close!)
-That Unusual Gem can be appraised by a certain member of the Thieves Guild in Riften, it's one of 24 scattered around Skyrim
-Rather than raise the dead, the Conjuration skill allows you to summon your own minions whenever you have enough magika, I find that much more reliable than raising the dead for a short duration, you can buy some spells from the College of Winterhold
-Save often! Especially while outside on long treks!
-You can't fast travel from indoors
-Sell those dragon bones or buy a house to deposit them, they weigh a ton!
Thank you for the tips! I will definitely try fire again against the next troll!
@@LizXP PS: there are various sellers in skyrim and some only sellcertain types of goods, so a fisher will sell you food ingredients and an alchemist will sell you ingredients and potions etc. To sell odd things you either go to general stores or purchase a perk in the speech skill tree although, the second path may make you deviate from the playstyle you originally want so it's up to you. Considering how you use skill points in the game it might seem a little boring so I recommend using general stores. The little Klepto in me advises you to hire the carriage in front of Whiterun stables and taking a trip to Riften or trek it cross country and discover the place :)
PSS: troll
can't repeat the safe often tip enough. its so important.
100% as i said she was 50% right so dont blame her...
She can store everything inside two barrels in Whiterun blacksmith shop...until she buy a House...
If you haven't already i suggest looking at a map of tamriel just so you know what people are talking about when they bring them up
Dangit. I haven't played skyrim in years. You are making me want to play it again. Thank you for great content. Subbed a few days ago and definitely enjoying watching you play.
Thank you so much!!
That inn keeper in ivarstead gives you a quest in that barrow. Its a fun one. Not too long to do.
Love this series, got me back playing skyrim for the 100th time.
Thank you so much!!
I have played this game for over 1000 hours and still love every second of it. This has been fun watching. Keep it up. #Troll
Thank you so much!
Hey Liz, loving listening to the series as I'm studying for finals (craving Skyrim atm, so that's how I found your channel!) So happy to see you're enjoying this masterpiece for the first time. I don't know how much of a "full play through" you're trying / wanting to record, but different people offer different miscellaneous quests, so it doesn't hurt going through all of the dialogue options an NPC has to offer! Never know what rewards you might come across!
Lol that perfect headshot on Lydia. I usually have mods that change friendly fire and the amount of followers, never got to see one die like that in all my years of playing. Always nice to see new stuff. I know a lot of people reload saves often, might be an idea if you don't want to keep the loss but there are other followers in the game so not too bad of a situation. Glad to see you enjoying the game though. Can't wait to see what else you experience, thanks for the video Liz XP! Also forgot "Troll".
Until you get Speech 50 perk to sell anything to any merchant, Belethors general goods is your best friend. You can also sell bones and scales to the alchemy merchant to keep Belethor's gold total high for your other jewls and such
So, neat trick for if you ever accidentally aggro something tough again, you can hide in water. If you can find water deep enough to go underneath, none of the enemies in the game can actually swim, so they will not follow you. They will stand at the edge of the river, but it lets you attack freely by moving between water shallow enough to shoot from, and then ducking back into the "cover" of deeper water. Also, trolls auto-regenerate health every second unless they are on actively fire. That's why you thought you were healing it. Trolls, and giants are the toughest things you're going to fight in the early game, so I'd steer clear until you have a better grasp of how strong you are.
That troll nearly made me quit Skyrim on my first play through. Poor Lydia died over and over... It was harrowing 😟
Crazy! I did NOT expect that!!
In my very first playthrough this particular ice troll chased me the entire 7000 steps down to Ivarstead, killed a few villagers, and was finally brought down by the town guards. 😱
Troll be trollin'
Poor Lidya, lol..
Keep on the great work! amazing vids!
I love seeing that you uploaded. Watching your videos is like hanging out with a friend. 😊
I'm honored! Thank you!
2:47 It’s when your level increases that you’ll find more stuff whether through looting while you’re adventuring or buying from a vender. It changes based on your level
29:05 - There are two moments when Skyrim officially starts: 1) “You’re finally awake” 2) When you kill your own companion for the first time
The thief, total jabroni. Trolls have fast health regeneration, so u were only healing urself. Also you killing Lydia was highlight of the vid xD #troll
RIP Lydia
Good job with the sneaking... and then running like the flash to outsmart that frost troll!
You can use dragon bones and scales for smithing dragon armor. If you invest some perks in blacksmithing.
Those trolls be trolling lol. A tip is that magic skills are tough to level up. Most of the time you are just sitting there using your spell on a dead corpse because using them legitimately takes forever.
29:03 this is just pure gold
😆I feel so bad!
@@LizXP remember your last follower? He went back to his village and you can find him and have him follow you again he's no Lydia but like stitch says still good
@@LizXP You just straight up murdered Lydia. What a monster.
@@Wraithguard92 come on, she knows nothing about the game. Its her first play, let her play the way she wants
Just found and subscribed to your channel. As a Dad who played Skyrim with his kids, your dad would definitely like the game. I played for several years as a Kahjit and then a Dark Elf. Then I took a year off while playing other games. I played last year as a High Elf Mage and it was SO FUN getting back into the game. The music brought back fun memories. Thank you for playing this blind. I know it sounds weird, but it gives me a happy heart to see you experience it for the first time. Keep up the play-thru and streaming! Many adventures await you ;)
NPCs come in varying categories. Lydia has the category "Essential" that means that when her health is low she will crouch down and enemies will stop targeting her. But she can still take more damage in other ways, such as friendly fire from your attack.
Ackchyually the state is "Protected". Essential NPCs can't be killed by any means.
The view from high hrothgar is absolutely beautiful, if you stand in the right place and look in the right direction.
Trolls are the worst. Both in game and outside of it.
Your first trolls are always very scary, and brutal! I've always had a soft spot for Lydia as a follower, but she has died twice in my playthroughs, and on both times it was emotionally difficult (on the last one she was my characters wife!). Had to keep going though, because I was trying to stay honest to my characters path, through triumph and woe.... keep in mind that your attacks can harm friendlies, so be careful during melees!
OMG you killed Lydia. that was Hilarious timing. I have like 1000hrs adventuring with her. You will find another follower. Keep up the great content.
Dragon bones and scales can be used to make armor but you have to be lvl 100 in smithing plus have the perk to make dragon armor. Most people use them for money since dragons are always popping up and they sell for decent gold.
Just a useful tip.... you can add your weapons, magic and even apparel in the favourite menu. Then, you just press the pad arrows to open it, and equip what you want without having to enter the menu everytime
The dragon scales are a Crafting item, not alchemy. You can make dragonscale armor.
It is a late game thing since your smithing skill needs to be all the way up to 100 to craft the dragon armor. So sell them early game and also if you don't plan on smithing.
Lmao the thief…. “That person who just killed a dragon and absorbed its soul….. yeah I’m going to mug them”
Powers and shouts are used by hitting one of the other trigger buttons instead of the attack button. I'd play around with it so you know how to use it. It is so you can have a power or shout equipped and you have have both your hands free to equip magic or weapons. There's also a setting, I think, to change if your followers can die. Otherwise they die left and right, unfortunately. I thought they had changed that in some of the updated versions of the game.
Followers are Protected by default, meaning only damage from you can kill them. This can only be changed with mods or by using the debug console.
@@TheKazragore Ah, got it.
I love how you're a kind and genuine person I really enjoy watching you on your journey I'm having almost as fun as you ps those trolls are mean and stinky 😆
Shouts and powers use the same button and energy. It's different from regular magic so it counts for a different energy pool.
Re-living these moments through fresh eyes has been amazing. Love that you're discovering the game in your own way; keep that blindfold on! Except during epic troll duels of course. Or else you may accidentally shoot and kill a friend.
Your Skyrim playthrough videos are quickly becoming a welcome and enjoyable part of my weekly routine!
R.I.P. Lydia; I was honestly surprised at how difficult a fight that TROLL put up. I think you did the right thing to sneak past that second TROLL on the way up to High Hrothgrar (that second one was a Frost Troll, which is a variant species even tougher and stronger than the common Troll you met on your way up to Ivarstead).
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll reach 10,000 subscribers by the New Year (if not sooner!). You videos are really good. 🙂
She should climb hill and be sneaky in highs and woods and shoot arrows with enchanted fire bow to trolls ... She has got BEST bowman of the Game...fire to trolls is like cryptonite to superman
He is right about the frost troll. Nasty ones they are, especially for your enemies if you have one trained to fight for you, fully armoured up in heavy armour when you purchase the Dawnstar DLC you get a frost troll eventually. great for killing the master vampire to gain access to the castle with minimal casualties on the way into the castle.

I remember pulling off this incredble long shot fatality with a bow, being really pleased as I see the animation following the arrow and then it all turning to horror as I realised it was in fact Lyida I just hit
You need to keep the soul gems to recharge your enchanted weapons. Stamina lets you carry more 🙂 When a skeever or a wolf attacks you check your health to see if you have an infection. As you may know red dots means enemies
I can't believe you killed Lydia! Daaannng. I always save right before combat in case my follower dies so that I can go back to that last save and do the fight over to keep them alive. There's also, if you're interested, some nice mods that help out with these unfortunate things. There's a mod that prevents friendly fire so that you cannot accidentally kill your follower, but your follower can still be killed by enemies. In addition to trolls, you should stay away from giants as well until you level up a lot.
The frost troll on the way is actually meant as a sort of soft block to force you to do some side quests and level up before.
It's a level dependent quest though, so don't level up too much. You'll find ice wraiths, frostbite spiders, bears and even a dragon at higher levels. The troll is the only consistent encounter.
🐐🐐🐐 The Three Billy Goats Gruff
If you want a mission with a dog I would go to falkreath 😉 also never sell dragon bones and scales save them until the end (:
Great video!!! Excellent sneaking by that TROLL!! The Varla stone you afraid to sell is a refillable soul gem. Useful for when you start enchanting and using enchanted weapons. Love the series!!
Here's my one-tip-per-video for today's video. 😁 However, remember that having fun is more important than following people's advice on how to play. 🙂👍
It's best to specialize in a few skills, rather than trying to use them all. For example, stick to one-handed or two-handed, but not both. Or for magic-users, specialize in 2 or 3 schools of magic; not all 5. Same for armors; stick with all heavy or all light armor pieces.
This is The Way.
It's great to see someone play this for the first time, it's been so long since my first time. That troll was a real... troll!
Liz, glad you're following the story. Feel free to do what you want and there truly are 1000 different things to find in exploration, but it's more satisfying for me to watch you play 1 quest at a time.
Helpful hint: when you have a follower that can train you in something, you can train with them and then get into their menu and get your money back. A follower will effectively train you for free.
Dragon bones are good to sell early. They are heavy and get you good money. If you build your smithing skill to 100, you can use them to build Dragon armor.
Keep having fun. Watching you makes me want to get back into Skyrim for the 80th time. 😀
And yes, trolls suck. They regenerate health so you have to be strong enough to take them on quickly.
Thank you for your help and commenting!!
I was ready to see how you handled the troll encounter. Low and behold, it was handled like a sneaky sneaky champ. Well done.
Bruh, this is absolutely beautiful. Now ive been a Bethesda fan for over a decade, spanning out to my first playthrough with Morrowind. But, holy f"ing Shizzle, you were killing me in the first few episodes. LMFAO. Love that this game is still getting the recognition it needs. Props Liz XP
Oh Poooor Lydia... She only dies when her master finishes her off and your arrows are right at the right time. I can't stop laughing, this is too funny! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I couldn't believe it!! 😆
I had a lot of restarts because of this. Usually, dogs.
Congrats on attaining the Voice of the Sky! All animals are your friends now! Even spiders.
*DO NOT ATTACK ANY ANIMAL.*
You will lose the Voice of the Sky. To get it back, read all 10 tablets again.
This is a _real_ game changer and it's just sooooo Wood Elf.
(🎊Trolls🎊 are not animals. They're not your friends yet.)
29:03 Goodbye Lids. You hardly carried our burdens.
No way, I would never let Lydia die. I always go back to the last save, poor Lydia
