Seeing Jon figure out how to break the boots of blinding speed, and realizing how nutty Morrowind can get when you start pushing the mechanics is giving me "He's beginning to believe" vibes.
Jon, you can summon as many creatures as you want as long as you don't use the same spell or item twice. Yes, that does sound ridiculous and highly exploitable but welcome to Morrowind.
I love how almost every mechanic in Morrowind is really easy to exploit but you will almost never just stumble into them so it never ruins a playthrough.
yes, and using the reset contents exploit, you can leave the first cave with 10 magic items that summon things, might take you a a fair amount of save scumming but if you disturb a containers contents(ie take something) and reload, it rerolls that containers contents.
47:40 I did not have "Jon absolutely nails the First Council War/origin of the Tribunal after reading one book in game" on my bingo card. I am legitimately impressed
It's extra wild after the Elden Ring series where he actively avoided the lore, haha. Love to see it! So much of Morrowind's story is hidden in Tamriel's time-warped, broken history...
@ Yeah, granted I can get some people being iffy with Soulslike lore and the like as it can be vague, but yeah, loved seeing Jon decipher the Dwemer and all that
I think this is quite possibly my favorite episode in the series so far. Hearing the absolute glee in Jon's voice as the different pieces to the puzzle that is Morrowind's game mechanics started dropping into place for him and he started figuring out how to combine different effects. Pure Chef's Kiss. These are the reasons why this is still my all time favorite game, even after all these decades. And Jon, you don't necessarily have to focus on Destruction to get promoted. You could be the Arch-Mage of Sandwich Making if you wanted to be.
@ I find it to be the easiest mage guild skill to level. Find a merchant with an infinite restocking supply of some ingredients, buy a few hundred, selling off the potions as you make them, and just spam your way to level 100.
Jon finally graduated! Using the Boots of Blinding speed while immune to Magicka is always one of the best moments in a new player's life. It's also excellent for combat encounters, allowing you to more easily strafe and back up/rush forward to avoid attacks. You can avoid most damage once you get good at avoiding telegraphed attacks.
DWEMER LANGUAGE LESSON! Nchardahrk, which Jon surprisingly got the pronunciation right, was a secondary workshop facility. Basically, spare parts, maintenance, etc. The name comes from "nchard," meaning "stone" and "ahrk," which means "destruction." Since "ahrk" is used to append the "nchard," we can infer it was meant as a verb for the noun. This facility was likely known as "Stone To Break," which, given the Dwemer's colourfully descriptive language, would colloquially translate as "Basic Construction" or "Simple Workplace".
Jon learned a few of the biggest ways to break the game in this episode, and he solved one of the most obscure quests. It's been a long road, but at this point I think I can say he's getting good at the game. I'm proud of you, Jon!
Demonstrated the alchemy loop, "figured" out the Boots of Blinding Speed / Resist Magicka loophole. He's beginning to understand how broken you can make this game.
It's only a "loophole" if you scam it with the 1 second spell. an ork with the cuirass and ring or a breton with the cuirass is just using it as the devs intended
This was an excellent episode. Jon hit two of my favorite bits of Morrowind, breaking the Boots of Blinding Speed with resist magicka and the "Impossible" mage's guild quest. Bravo!
Morrowind has no limit on the number of summons; so long as you've got the magicka you can have hundreds of minions at once. The only rules are that they have to come from seperate spells, or be different creatures in the same spell. So a custom spell that both creates a dremora *and* a skeleton would summon both. Or two seperate spells called "summon skeleton A" and "summon skeleton B" cast one after the other would summon 2 skeletons. So long as those rules are followed, you can have an army of minions.
I'm happy you've found a way to use The Boots of Blinding Speed without its downsides, however I am going to miss watching the arrow move across the map, I always found that amusing.
I'm so proud of you, Jon. You've discovered the beauty of Morrowind's magic system, and all on your own! It's broken, ridiculous, and absolutely amazing.
I've been thinking about the prophecy of Nerevarine. What if "journeyed far 'neath moon and star" isn't about some ring..... What is a journey, but a long trip. What is a star, but a crystal in the sky? What do stars do, but guide and influence people? 'Moon and Star' isn't about a ring, but all of the Moon Sugar Aria has been snorting and drinking in skooma this entire time! The Nerevarine is simply high as a kite!
Is hilarious stumbling onto the crescent blade - one of the best weapons in the game - and going 'eh, its heavy and I don't do long blades' lmao. Never change Jon
I'll grab it on every playthrough, but I rarely use it. Since I typically use the Atronach sign, the absorb magicka effect from the Mace of Molag Bal is actually way more useful to me.
Spellcrafting Tips: as others have pointed out in the comments, you can create custom summon spells that bring forth multiple summons at once-as long as they're all different types of creatures. If crafting custom Destruction spells, you can add a "weakness to X" effect as the first effect, and you only need one second of the weakness for it to take effect, e.g., Weakness to Fire 100%, on Target, for one second/Fire Damage 50 points, on Target, for two seconds. Much like with the Boots of Blinding Speed, as long as the weakness is applied on the first tick of damage, you're good to go. Have fun burning (or freezing or electrocuting) the island down!
Medium armor master trainer is Cinia, a NPC who is in the Toolkit but was not added into the game for whatever reason. She is supposed to be at the boat dock in Tel Fyr. But this guy can train medium up to 80+ so pretty damn close at least.
Two minor notes of caution regarding the Boots. - They have very low actual armour resistance, and thus you may want to integrate a few heavier pieces or learn shield spells to keep on top of the curve. - They have very low durability, and if they break they are unequipped and you have to do the magicka resistance dance again, so bring hammers and keep them topped off.
@@DarrenGrey It is, but only because Jon is clever. I've watched some other people play games and it is very frustrating when they can't figure out the simplest thing.
As soon as he grabbed the Savior's Hide I knew he would figure it out the next time he put the boots on. I had kind of forgotten that his choice of starsign almost negated the benefit of the cuirass though.
Wow, the lore in this game is so good. I thought that the "solve the mystery of the disappearance of the Dwemer" was just a joke mission, impossible. Most players would probably never try it, but Jon cocking solved it!! (as he would say)
Day 4 of asking Jon to please help Cassius Olcinius regain his visibility. Here at the association we thought we had found the perfect job for Cassius to do whilst he waited for help, being invisible made him the perfect candidate for looting Divayth Fyr's dungeon without being attacked by the inmates at the corprusarium. It seems however his would be saviour just took that job opportunity away. We've also been informed she disregarded the loot as trash. Injustice keeps piling for Cassius. Justice (and visibility) for Cassius!
The alternative way to solve the disappearance of the dwarfs is through the telvanni wizard in gnisis. His dialogue is still worth checking out but since you're telvanni you'll meet him again soon or later anyways.
You've gotten so good at this game! I love it! And if you really want to have some crazy fun, remember that when drinking your yam and bloat "sandwiches," you can stack them. Make a sandwich, drink it, make another stronger sandwich, drink it, make an even stronger one... and you get the picture.
Note about Resist/Weakness to Magicka: It only affects non-elemental magic, i.e. most status spells like Weakness to Elements or Drain Health. Elemental damage like Fire damage itself will not get reduced by it, unlike in Oblivion or Skyrim where thesecspells had an elemental and magickal component. So in combat it isn't actually that useful because most enemies do just throw fireballs and such. Though on the flipside that also means your birthsign is not super detrimental either.
I was so happy to see Jon figure out the Boots of Blinding Speed for himself and not from reading comments. I know it was driving lots of people nuts, but part of the fun of watching this playthrough is seeing him experience the game organically and figure things out for himself. It's almost like we all get to go through it for the first time again. His "aha!" moment was such a joy to watch.
Aria has begun to touch the mantlehead. CHIM. Seriously, I love how to gameplay goes from terrible dice roles to god-tier as you explore. I love the implications.
4:33 Just up the street from the Mage's Guild is the Eight Plates Inn. On the second floor (well away from any guests) is a storeroom. It has a wide variety of containers useful for sorting and storing inventory items.
Aren't most of those containers owned, making anything you put in them owned as well? It's a good idea in principle, but you always have to look out for the risk of owned containers since they will suddenly and permanently make all your items "stolen". For his purposes, the cupboard in the sleeping area of the mages' guild is quite sufficient, close-by, and faction-owned so you retain ownership of anything you put in there.
Jon's refusal to use containers (such as the ones in the tax collector murderer's house in Seyda Neen) to store his stuff is getting to be baffling - unless he's deliberately doing it for the lulz.
Did you know you're an anime character now? "I'm a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I might as well try Magic" has a character that gains the power to make healing sandwiches...
you can also make spells that boost intelligence and willpower which allows more powerful boost spells to be cast, on and on for as long as you have magicka potions. its a good way to get started on the INT boosting potion cycle.
Jon, you can actually make spells that summon multiple creatures, just not multiple of the same creature. As well as that, if you have 2 different spells summoning the same creature, they stack. Also, Resist Magic doesn't work against the elemental spells (Fire, Frost, Poison...) but most magic debuffs & "Damage ___" spells.
Good afternoon Jon, I'm Steve, this is a comment, and you're welcome back to Morrowind! Weeeellll this time we had another great episode, you're really starting to grasp just how hilariously broken this game can be, and how much fun can result from exploiting it. Only the tip of the iceberg I assure you, but super satisfying to watch you sort through all of it. Still, having officially boosted the algorithm, how about we call it a comment there. I've been Steve, this has been a lengthy TH-cam comment, it was indeed, Morrowind. You're welcome very much, and goodbye.
35:37 This is the moment that Jon realized just how awesome Morrowind is. This game can be broken so many different ways, the joy is finding the way that best works for you.
Just in case john checks down here if you need a solution to your storage problem, Hlaalo Manor is a common storage spot in balmora. Its double hilarious because the safe 'container' is actually a dead body you can stuff all your stuff into and it never disappears xD
Oh no, Jon found a way to re-trigger my fast motion in cramped quarters motion sickness, which I've worked around by scrolling the comments/recommended sections to cover most of my browser window.
26:52 You were just saying you needed a new place to put your stuff Jon. Khargol seems like he wouldn't mind, and then Aria can have "Warlock's first Wizard Tower". He reminds me of Bennor...
Comments appear to be missing the following warning: There is (to the best of my knowledge) nothing to be gained from visiting Dagoth Ur to accept his offer despite the indication that such a thing is possible. Forget that such an indication is there is my advice
The fact that all future games kept stating that the disappearance of the dwemer is still a mystery was always something of a minor pet peeve of mine. We already solved that mystery! At least somewhat. Which leads me to believe that either the Nerevarine canonically didn't join the mages guild or their findings were never published. In-universe reasons, of course. I think we all know that Bethesda just wants to keep the dwemer disappearance a mystery so it can be milked in future installments.
You still shouldn't wear the boots of blinding speed unless you get your magicka resistance all the way to a net 100%. The 45% percent blindness they give you right now is equivalent to a flat 45% miss chance. Or it should apparently blind increases your hit rate instead of decreasing which is a bug. Also you need to keep those things in good repair. If they break you have to go through the whole song and dance around putting them on again.
There is no summon limit the only restriction is you can't use the same spell/item twice or it just refreshes. You can even have duplicates of the same summon provided you use different spells to summon them i.e. one for x seconds one for y as long as the spell ID is different they won't cancel each other out
You can summon one of each creature, but as an exploit, you could summon without limit by just creating multiple summon spells with the same creature but with different spell names
Jon. It's all fun and speedy games until you're deep in some remote dungeon, you get knackered in the stats, the boots of blinding speed breaks, then suddenly you cannot cast the resist magic method necessary to reequip them. Walking around without them feels so slow when you're used to them ... Be cautious!
I love how magic works in this game, its like a scripting language where you achieve your goals by scripting together various commands controlling the game engine variables. I wish more games did this. I wonder if you could create a game simply by renaming keywords in a programming language and carefully crafting a narrative to tie things together and provide specific goals? maybe this has been done before and I'm simply unaware of it?
So very close to finding the most broken mechanic in the game. In-universe the guild guides are instant but the other transport methods take an amount of time based on the distance travelled. The bone is just an Easter egg, a reference to a devs father who passed during game development BOOTS
Idk if you know this, but 10-35 damage isn't a random spread, it's 10 if you click rapidly, increasing to 35 the longer you hold attack button to charge your swing.
In the base game males can have a thief kajit gf with exclusive quests, which would be really right in your alley, so I suggest the "Ahnassi naturalised" mod that let you have it as a female too
Gonna say, I love it for Jon that he figured out the boots of blinding speed, but watching the footage makes me really dizzy. I hope for the sake of better videos that he maybe limits the boot use to outside of dungeons.
Don't get too cocky about your magicka resistance. Unlike in Oblivion and Skyrim, that doesn't protect you against fire, frost, shock and poison damage, since these count as elemental damage.
I'm not even gonna wait to see if you figure it out for yourself, with all your magic resistance, try on the Boots of Blinding Speed. You may not be as blind.
Seeing Jon figure out how to break the boots of blinding speed, and realizing how nutty Morrowind can get when you start pushing the mechanics is giving me "He's beginning to believe" vibes.
I cant believe he didnt go make a fortify speed spell immediately
The MorrowOned
hes like i dont want to break the game. 'literally does the intelligence loop with alchemy' lol
Hopefully he starts looking around dungeons a bit more
I feel like he's gonna convert any episode now. "This is the best Elder Scrolls game."
Jon, you can summon as many creatures as you want as long as you don't use the same spell or item twice. Yes, that does sound ridiculous and highly exploitable but welcome to Morrowind.
I love how almost every mechanic in Morrowind is really easy to exploit but you will almost never just stumble into them so it never ruins a playthrough.
Ohhhh, so I can have the undead hoard I’ve been dreaming of! (I’m doing my first play through because of these videos.)
The downside is that if you summon in town the guards will attack you on site.
yes, and using the reset contents exploit, you can leave the first cave with 10 magic items that summon things, might take you a a fair amount of save scumming but if you disturb a containers contents(ie take something) and reload, it rerolls that containers contents.
@@Matthaagmusic you can make identical summon spells and name them differently and have your undead horde up and going in very little time.
47:40 I did not have "Jon absolutely nails the First Council War/origin of the Tribunal after reading one book in game" on my bingo card. I am legitimately impressed
He also got what happened to the dwarves when using karegnac’s tools
It's extra wild after the Elden Ring series where he actively avoided the lore, haha. Love to see it! So much of Morrowind's story is hidden in Tamriel's time-warped, broken history...
Did he? Weird. Jon always seems like a lore hound@@perambulatrix
I mean, he _is_ a classics historian, isn't he..? Studying ancient texts to figure out ancient history is supposed to be his thing...

Man, this guy fortified his int and straight up solved the disappearance of the dwarves.
Episode came together brilliantly.
It's like the galaxy brain meme, only every step has the text "I increase my intelligence."
Jon finally graduated! Using the Boots of Blinding speed while immune to Magicka is always one of the best moments in a new player's life. It's also excellent for combat encounters, allowing you to more easily strafe and back up/rush forward to avoid attacks. You can avoid most damage once you get good at avoiding telegraphed attacks.

Nchardahrk, which Jon surprisingly got the pronunciation right, was a secondary workshop facility. Basically, spare parts, maintenance, etc.
The name comes from "nchard," meaning "stone" and "ahrk," which means "destruction." Since "ahrk" is used to append the "nchard," we can infer it was meant as a verb for the noun.

Jon: "I don't want to cheese the game."
Jon 10 minutes later: "I'M THE GODDAMN FLASH!"

@@almightyk11 Yeah a lot of gamers can't comprehend playing for fun instead of power
@ As Josh Strife Hayes said "People will optimise the fun out of the game".
It's not a proper elder scrolls playthru until you have several artifacts and top tier items in the floor-storage
I'll grab it on every playthrough, but I rarely use it. Since I typically use the Atronach sign, the absorb magicka effect from the Mace of Molag Bal is actually way more useful to me.

From the moment you got the boots people have tried telling you about the magic resistance.

Jon! just choose a random house or one that you like..... or go up to dagon fel and get yourself your own dwemer wizard tower..........
4:33 Just up the street from the Mage's Guild is the Eight Plates Inn.
On the second floor (well away from any guests) is a storeroom.

Or just use the plethora of storage containers in the Mage's Guild itself.
Jon's refusal to use containers (such as the ones in the tax collector murderer's house in Seyda Neen) to store his stuff is getting to be baffling - unless he's deliberately doing it for the lulz.
I think he genuinely doesn't know.
Probably used to games that reset cells.
Game doesnt make it clear which containers are safe
I think he might be assuming it's like later Bethesda games where if you put things in a respawning container you can lose them forever.
Does his version of the game allow for it to spawn the old "loot bag" that magically appears and sucks everything up into it?
He lost a bunch of stuff in a crate in Oblivion and now he's traumatized and won't risk it. That's all.
Jon, 'Secrets of Dwemer Animunculi' added a spell to summon a dwemer construct. It should be in your spell list.
Did you know you're an anime character now? "I'm a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I might as well try Magic" has a character that gains the power to make healing sandwiches...

Thank you for such a wonderful adventure in these trying times Mr. Jon.
6:23 HE'S DOING IT!
Jon, you can actually make spells that summon multiple creatures, just not multiple of the same creature. As well as that, if you have 2 different spells summoning the same creature, they stack.
Also, Resist Magic doesn't work against the elemental spells (Fire, Frost, Poison...) but most magic debuffs & "Damage ___" spells.
Feels like jon is hitting the critical scaling point
I love that all the corpses in the necromancer's tower are marked owned.
OH GOD HE FOUND THE FORTIFY INTELLIGENCE LOOP
As long as Jon never discovers the fortify Perception loop, the fabric of space and time is safe.

You still shouldn't wear the boots of blinding speed unless you get your magicka resistance all the way to a net 100%. The 45% percent blindness they give you right now is equivalent to a flat 45% miss chance. Or it should apparently blind increases your hit rate instead of decreasing which is a bug.
Also you need to keep those things in good repair. If they break you have to go through the whole song and dance around putting them on again.
JON!!!JON!!!JON!!!This series is magnificent!
New Gods plotline activated!
There is no summon limit the only restriction is you can't use the same spell/item twice or it just refreshes. You can even have duplicates of the same summon provided you use different spells to summon them i.e. one for x seconds one for y as long as the spell ID is different they won't cancel each other out
Patiently waiting for Jon to come back to a “sack of loot” floating a foot off of the ground in the Mages Guild….
I feel like Morrowind is exactly why later Bethesda games got increasingly restrictive, but what a shame...
"I won't get distracted." Well, that thought didn't last long.
I hope Jon figures out the damage skill = cheap training loop that was introduced by I think Tribunal!
Last time I was this early, St Jiub hadn't rid Morrowind of Cliff Racers
There's a mod for that 😑😒
HE PUT THE BOOTS ON WITH 100% MAGIC RESISTANCE
Best game, Best youtuber
Holy crap, episode 30 and he figures out the boots of blinding speed
You can summon one of each creature, but as an exploit, you could summon without limit by just creating multiple summon spells with the same creature but with different spell names
One clan of vamps give you +100 speed too, lol
Jon. It's all fun and speedy games until you're deep in some remote dungeon, you get knackered in the stats, the boots of blinding speed breaks, then suddenly you cannot cast the resist magic method necessary to reequip them. Walking around without them feels so slow when you're used to them ... Be cautious!
I love how magic works in this game, its like a scripting language where you achieve your goals by scripting together various commands controlling the game engine variables. I wish more games did this.
I wonder if you could create a game simply by renaming keywords in a programming language and carefully crafting a narrative to tie things together and provide specific goals? maybe this has been done before and I'm simply unaware of it?
He’s starting to believe!
Wow, right on time!
So very close to finding the most broken mechanic in the game.
In-universe the guild guides are instant but the other transport methods take an amount of time based on the distance travelled.
The bone is just an Easter egg, a reference to a devs father who passed during game development
BOOTS
Wait till jon realize how broken morrowind’s alchemy is
Idk if you know this, but 10-35 damage isn't a random spread, it's 10 if you click rapidly, increasing to 35 the longer you hold attack button to charge your swing.
In the base game males can have a thief kajit gf with exclusive quests, which would be really right in your alley, so I suggest the "Ahnassi naturalised" mod that let you have it as a female too
Oh John you’re not immune to all magical attacks, only pure magic damage and effects, frost lightning fire and poison will still get through
When you take the Masque of Clavicus Vile off, you will lose 40 personality. Careful with that item.
Spamming over-time spells just resets the timer, it doesn't increase damage output.
This turned into Speedy Jongalez
Gonna say, I love it for Jon that he figured out the boots of blinding speed, but watching the footage makes me really dizzy. I hope for the sake of better videos that he maybe limits the boot use to outside of dungeons.
Noooo not the boots of Fallout 1 travel
summoning limit is oblivion afterwards
These boots are meant for walking
Does the corprus disease "cure" work for the other patients? I've never gone back to ask.
The spark of buffing attributes didn't trigger a spark to buff skills.
With mages: Rush B!!! 🤣
Don't get too cocky about your magicka resistance. Unlike in Oblivion and Skyrim, that doesn't protect you against fire, frost, shock and poison damage, since these count as elemental damage.
Did you know there is a magical way to disarm traps? Use telekinesis and open it remotely
Unfortunately, elemental damage is not affected by magicka resistance. Fire, frost, shock and poison spells don't count as magic.
Just wished it wasn't so easy for him. Hope he plays the expansion and cranks up the difficulty
He has a delayed start mod on. So the expansions are there, but the Tribunal attacks are delayed until later levels
@@skaphanatic5657 Level 40 iirc or killing certain plot related characters.
I'm not even gonna wait to see if you figure it out for yourself, with all your magic resistance, try on the Boots of Blinding Speed. You may not be as blind.
