Skyrim: Top 5 Boss Battles in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ธ.ค. 2019
- Skyrim is a game that boasts a whole assortment of bad guys for the Dragonborn to face off against. However, not all villains in The Elder Scrolls 5 are quite the same and many of Skyrim's antagonists are paticularly unique characters. Indeed, some of the bosses featured in TES 5 are incredibly fascinating, with special backstories and characteristics that make them an absolute blast to learn more about. So today we'll be taking a look at some of the best baddies Skyrim has to offer as we dive into my top five boss battles in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

Isn’t it obvious who the Ebony Warrior is? He’s the dude who visits every dungeon before you and makes sure all the torches are lit
Dudes an mvp
He killed me about 9 times
And I stole his armour
literally beat him with bare fist and suplex to death
The funny thing is that if you get to level 80 without killing alduin then he’ll still say what he normally says but he hasn’t killed alduin yet
He's probably the character we create in Elder Scrolls 6
The real boss battle: the first frost troll on the way to high hrotghar.
easy, but tedious way to beat him: constant shield-bash and slash, rinse and repeat. Shield bash to disorient and deal some damage, and just keep doing it till it dies. You may have to run away sometimes though.
@@litewave5186 easy and better way,
run to high hrothgar while the troll chases you and head inside for the greybeards to gang up on the troll
Easiest way. Avoid him completely or use a calming spell and just stroll on past
U run into a troll if you come the back way to the road to high hrotghar its in a cave by a creek that runs by the town at the bottom of the mountain also there are some other hard baddies u can run into if you wander around off main quest line..
@@Nobleteam117 like level 1 killing troll is set not level 4 or 5 killing troll
The Ebony Warrior is basically just a former player character.
This actually makes the most sense to me
That actually makes a lot of sense.
The "letters from a friend" are from him trying to power you up so he has a worthy fight.
Some theories say he is possibly you from the future
Did you watch the video about him because this is what that guy who made it was talking about
@@oscarhawkley if that is true then why doesn't he use better gear than what you have equipped?
I remember when dawnguard came out. I was 12 and my older brother and I stayed up all night playing Skyrim waiting for the dlc to become available in his room so we could buy it. It didn’t end up becoming available till about 8:30 in the morning. My brother fell asleep in his chair and I sat in his room playing it for a few hours and then went in my room and passed out. That was a good day
That's really cute and wholesome, I used to do similar stuff with my younger brother
My brother never got Into RPGs so I was grinding it out myself 😂
This reminds me of when my older brother showed me the game. He explained everything to me and just seemed very excited to share the game with me and now it's one of my favorites
I remember that, I was 17 myself
It's true I was dawnguard
The real number one boss battle:
The Dragonborn vs. Lydia in a doorframe
I'm burdened to carry your swears.
Oh my god that is so infuriating 😭
Barbas anywhere indoors
This is why I never use followers
I felt a vain pop in my forehead just reading that.
The hardest boss is trying to not eventually just become a stealth bow build
I have the same problem with playing as a tank with dual swords. Start as a rogue using stealth & daggers, end as a dual wielding tank. Start as a warrior with heavy weapons, end as a dual wielding tank. Start as a destruction mage, end as a dual wielding tank.
Lol i always end up in heavy armor with a mace and shield.
I always end up a mage lmao
I always end up with heavy armor using double axes.
I always end up with an illusion assassin no matter my starting I "want to go" build
Innocent mage carrying out his arcane experiments in a secluded cave, away from the population while causing no harm.
Dragonborn: So, you have chosen death.
LoL.
Lmmfao. Exactly!
Why tf does he attack me on sight then?
@@slawdawg6098 cause youve been killing all his spiders duh
@@slawdawg6098 because you're invading his home lol. Maybe Tamriel has castle doctrine laws!
Me: I have faced Alduin and sent him back to Akatosh, I have slain countless vampires and their Lord Harkon, I have defeated Miraak and did not flinch, and I have faced against an incredibly large amount of villains, daedra, dragons, and more. There is only one enemy that I have left to face. OLD SALTY, PREPARE FOR THE BATTLE TO END ALL BATTLES!!!!
Be careful, lord tusks men have joined up with old salty, they’re talking over the entirety of solstein and are sailing to windhelm as we speak
@@samcharles3363 they're the main villains in ES6
Random kid in solitude: I bet me father could beat you up
***dragonborn dies***
Salty makes kaarstag shiver in his boots
Number One Boss Fight:
The Loading Screen
I agree
Definitely
The hardest boss
Not with a SSD. I can't even read the loading screens
nope that goes to the random ctds
The Ebony Warrior is a reflection of the Dragonborn since by level 80 you’ll likely be wanting to restart the game (death) after having completed virtually everything there is to complete.
Olive Eater I’m level 76 in my playthrough right now and only just killed Alduin lol
@@kyalbeddows8453 level 62 here. I'm working towards my current Dragonborn's retirement but I feel like beating the Ebony Warrior just has to be one of those things I'd have to do before moving on to my next character. I'm currently just grinding my smithing so I can upgrade my armor XD
Level 36 here
Edit: level 40
Edit: level 45
Kyal Beddows level 81 here and still haven’t captured the dragon at Dragonsreach 😂 the update where they made skills legendary has completely detracted from my play through because I’m so obsessed with re-leveling pickpocket, smithing, enchanting, speech and alchemy just for the extra possible perk from leveling up 😅 can’t even explain how much time I’ve put doing this but god is it addicting
What about mods brother?
The real hardest boss fight is when you fail a 90% chance at pickpocket
The boss would be your luck lmao
And sometimes you fail the 90% pickpocket like 6 or 7 times in a row just because the game feels like fucking with you
Yeah, It Sucks Whenever That Happens!
1 in 10 haha
Just quicksave, reload if it fails and do it again
It just works
Imagine being one of the strongest warriors in Tamriel, having a full set of Ebony armour, get nicknamed "The Ebony Warrior" for your strength and appearance, *only to be beaten by a damn mudcrab*
A large Horker and a spider enthusiast, too.
Are you 10?
@@billfoster5257 hey, his jokes give me some good laughs. You should be proud he tried.
@@SonofGuilliman281 don't mind him. He was dropped as a kid
The hardest boss is self control when it comes to the damn carry weight. Like I have to fight gravity and Alduin?!
**picks up one extra butterfly wing**
dragonborn: “tOo HEavY”
:D Fortify Carry potions FTW.
Aethereal Crown Steed Stone combo FTW! Also, combined with extra pockets from the pickpocket skill tree allows you to carry an additional two hundred pounds of items. And since you don’t have a level cap, you can just continue to gain more and more levels. I’m currently level 49, and it’d take a total of two hundred and fifty two skill points to acquire every single perk in every single skill tree, mind you that character I’ve spent nearly five hundred hours on.
Umm... Lydia is a thing you know. She IS sworn to carry your burdens.
Braddah Spliff She’s carried well over three thousand pounds of items for me. All of them are now labelled as Stolen. So you better level that speech craft all the way up.
Just imagine the unsettling sound of a large mudcrab wearing shoes charging at you full-force.
*imagining each appendage with tap dancing shoes on the mudcrab* “Oh the horror!”
With a tankard in his claw. The guy's just looking for a drink.
@@jonathannelson103 old salty knows you have wine, ale, and mead. He just trying to say "my favorite drinking buddy"
@@dylanelmore5070 poor guy just wanted to share a bottle of mead and we all murdered him lol
@@colleenerin1959 I will admit I did the first time I saw him I did...but after that I never even scavenged the other crabs in his area. Just drop the mead and grabbed the gold and loot in the shack
No one:
Sheogorath: "Wouldnt It be fun to create some bloodthirsty horkers to greet these pirates? Blood horkers indeed HA!"
I was just thinking the same thing! Let's see, bat-s&%# lunatic horkers AND a bat-s%#@ lunatic mage that does weird crap to Frostbite Spiders, that has our favorite Daedric Prince all over it! One day, Sheogorath gets bored and decides to go to Solsthiem, under a disguise. First, makes some homisidal insane horkers, just for fun. After that, he then screws with that Altmer mage, just to see what could happen. That would also explain the random encounters of people that want to be Wabbajack'd, who worships the Daedric Prince of Madness. It would make perfect sense!
And then puts shoes on a mud crab and gives it beer!
Oh yes
I think he is the friend that has been sending us letters throughout the storyline.
Interesting thought.
@@Chogra old salty, letter giver!
That actually makes a lot of sense. He can use quite a few shouts, which raises the question: how does he LEARN these shouts? He didn’t go to High Hrothgar, because let’s be honest, we all would’ve learned about this from an npc in the game. So, that’s already crossed off the list. The one other way to learn shouts (that he would have any chance of knowing) would be the walls of power. And as we all know, you can get letters from “a friend” that basically directs you to these walls of power, to gain access to more shouts.
There’s a boss in Skyrim that can use an assortment of shouts (that you can kill near the end of your play through), and a mysterious character that sends us letters that directs us to walls of power, that give us access to shouts? And both of these characters are, “coincidentally”, mysterious?
I thought the letters from a "friend" was Delphine?
@@professorwikipedia2115 lmao you still get letters even after finishing her quests tho so it’s definitely not her
I think the moment the Forgemaster emerges from the lava is one of the most memorable moments in Dawnguard for those who did that quest.
Robert Smalls oh yeah. That moment made me jump when I saw it the first time.
Scared the everliving shit out of me 💀
I found it as a level 11 high elf vampire. Oh man that was brutal. None of the vampire lord powers really worked on it, and if it even grazed me with the fire breath I'd instantly die.
WR Yeah, that’s a tough situation since those types of builds really only work on living enemies.
A shame that I did the quest at level 50
I really fucked up a unique experience and now i feel shame
1. Vs hauling your Dragon Scales/Bones to wherever you store them after becoming overencumbered.
2. Vs Todd's Bugs.
3. Vs remembering that you need to go to High Hrothgar instead of wandering anywhere and everywhere.
4. Vs the urge to end Heimskr's wailing.
5. Vs Nazeem's snobbery.
Heimskr’s name actually translates to idiot or moron in Icelandic I believe
So is killing nazeem/heimskr the win or lose in that scenario
@caleb carithers Yes.
Heimskr is a patriot. I will always keep him safe.
HolyknightVader999 I dropped him like a sack of potatoes. And I put his head right at Talos' feet.
The hardest boss fight:
Fighting the urge to say *Murdered to death*
The ebony warrior is the one who gets to the cloud district very often
Who are you, Nazeem
@@joshuatremper5026 for real
Ebony warrior thought the dragons how to shout.
Under rated comment
I soul trap the ebony warrior and now he’s stuck in soul cairn forever and he became my trusted boots
I did that with mirak, alduin, and Astrid.
Bognog 04 can’t soul trap miraak or alduin tho? 🤔
Joe Al table pick an item and then enchantment and then use ur gems:) go to white run and In the jarls wizards place to use the enchanting table
Calm down there Satan
Monster
"And proceeds to run away in terror"
Warrior: *calmly walks away*
My theory about the ebony warrior is that he's kinda like your characters. One day, either by his own choice or by circumstances outside of his control, he went into adventure, getting progressively stronger, but also progressively bored. Just like us, after reestarting the game for like the billionth time. He's just there to show that we are not the only murder hobos in this world. There's other people like us. Well,he's not the dragonborn,but still.
I'm super high, this makes sense and I love you wow
The ebony warrior is kind of like the player character if bethesda didn't make you dragonborn/the ultimate "hero" of the crisis like in oblivion.
I think he is a dragonborn
Imagine how powerful he would be if he was the dragon born
@@darkmunin why would he be dragonborn?
My first thought on Old Salty was that he could’ve just been some poor dude that was cursed by a wizard and turned into a mudcrab lol
I honest to God never realized Lost To The Ages was Dawnguard exclusive! I guess owning all the DLCs from the start changes that.
Same! I started playing Skyrim back when Special Edition was released, and the quest feels very vanilla-ey to me (ie. not as unique as the "Forgotten Vale" part of Dawnguard). The quest reward, while having great enchantments, doesn't look nearly as good as the rest of the DLC--I mean, the crown is literally two circlets stacked together.
I somehow played the quest without the dlc lol
Yep, in the old days, you weren't allowed to play the dlc's until you finished the main quest, which by then, most had.
Something similar happened to me with dragonborn, I never knew that Solstheim, and the sectarians who came to kill you were from dragonborn XD
Yep lmao
Ebony warrior: “your the only challenge I have left”
Me: *taps him with an enchanted spoon*
Ebony warrior: *ded*
Love that series
I always love that series.
Gold
CometTamer I love your profile pic, that brings back some good memories.
I think he said it was a spork
Imagine if the ebony warrior wanted to get to sovngarde purely to fight all of the Nordic spirits. I think that would be pretty dope.
Its actually just kratos in god of war 11 with some new armor
Even if it wasn’t too hard that skeletal dragon boss fight in labrynthian is one of my favorite in the game
Nate: speaks of mudcrabs
Also Nate: says mirelurk
Me: *confusion 100*
I caught that too. I imagine he misspoke and missed it in editing.
The terms are pretty much interchangeable for me
Mirelurk = Rad Mudcrab
Hadvar: mass confusion
He's done that a couple times 🤣
20 years from now Nate will still be making these top 5’s. “TOP 5 DOORS IN SKYRIM YOU MAY HAVE MISSED”
Keep up the great work nate! Love all your content.
That sounds like Graenolf
Top 5 Barrels
I’d still watch it tbh
Braddah Spliff that’s a actual video made by a diffrent guy
@@missingindy Yes, it's a video made by Graenolf. Which is why I commented it after yan li commented, "That sounds like Graenolf."
Personally I think that Lord Tusk was a worshipper of Hircine with a particular fascination for horkers. Eventually Hircine decided to turn him into a mighty horker warrior as a gift for his servitude.
4:20 After level 5 you'll probably run into the Old Orc looking for a "noble death" because he didn't want to die old and a burden to his clan, so this is a theme you'll see elsewhere in the game. I think the Redguard Ebony Warrior was basically inspired by their own heritage as well as Nord and Orc mythology, and by integrating all of the philosophies together ended up becoming the greatest warrior. The game tries to push you to be neutral but full-spectrum so you don't just wedge yourself into one character class, which gives the game all the replay value it's renowned for.
I always love how you say “elder scrolls 5 skyrim.”
“The elder scrolls fayhve skahyrim”
Zal Animate that's how you pronounce five
Soniccairo no it’s not
@@imtoxiq_ Yes it is.
@@jamesaustin5832 no its not it is over pronounced
@@TheHoggcast like every other word he says. Not hating because I enjoy these videos but he definitely hams up his delivery almost to the point of parody.
Ebony warrior: You won't strike me down that easy!
Dragonborn: Krii Lun Aus!
Marked, For, Death?
@@erikho6936 not what the words mean but yes that is the shout
Kill:Leech:Suffer
Good shout
I can't seem to find the last shout for it tho. I havent been getting any shouts despite having 35,000 dragon souls-
The most epic boss.. The chicken... I wanted to make a grilled chicken brest. Attacked by entire village.
I've always loved the setup and fight for Karstaag. He's completely optional, has you start the fight by walking through an almost eerily pristine skylit arena, and is absolutely a beast to take on
Yeah these are mostly interesting fight, but definitely not the best boss battles
Skyrim didn’t really DO bosses, just big enemies. Miraak and Marlboro were legit fights, but Alduin was just spamming Clear Sky and letting the NPCs do the heavy lifting while you go to the bathroom.
The forge master made me legit shit myself when he started spraying fire walking out of the lava.
ME TOO
K Lilly M wish more people would talk about that quest. It deserves way more recognition, probably one of the best quests the aetherium forge.
@@neonsplit2941 I'm here for the aetherium crown tho
Aetherium Crown? Pfft amateur hour. Got myself a whole ass set of Artherial Power Armor and matching weapons. 💪
Scared the shit out of me the first time I did Lost To The Ages. Centurions scare me anyway
Dragonborn: "What about me? I'm a formidable boss battle for any npc that dares cross my path."
or maybe not...(had a free trip to the sky by a giant)
Until legendary difficulty
Also aqua uselless
Use the mod that lets you transfer your other characters as an NPC and fight yourself
Bosses also tend to have their own theme in most games, while in Skyrim the Dragonborn theme is playing during combat. Which kind of sounds like YOU are the boss.
I would've preferred unique music for the more important ones tbh, it makes a lot of boss battles more atmospheric and memorable. It's not that every boss would need an own theme, but I feel like Harkon or the Forgemaster definitely deserve one. Not to mention Alduin, to make him at least a bit less forgettable.
@@shanesliver4603 I would like a game where I play a useless character and randomly gets killed by a hero character. You hear about his adventures and triumphs, only to be killed like a stray dog by him....
My favorite boss has to be Ulfric honestly. Marching into Windhelm with the Legion at your back, pushing through a city that is actually designed to take on a siege, finally killing the Stormcloaks and approaching the throne with a classic "It's over, lay down your arms" speech, a duel with another master of the Thu'um...just awesome.
Damn faithless imperials
Not going to lie the first time I got tossed across the room by his unrelenting Force shout it freaked me out a bit, I said to myself "oh shoot so that's what that's like".
Lost to the ages is easily one of my favorite quests, mainly because the rewards are very unique, it has a couple interesting puzzles, and Katria is the only NPC i truly wanted to help, because she is helpful, not a jerk, and has a pretty obvious and relatable goal
She actually helps you fight those things, and is good at fighting and doesn’t over take you
The Forgemaster being bigger than a normal centurion actually makes sense, since when you heat metal it expands and get bigger, and once it cools off it shrinks again.
Glad I came to your Ted Talk. 🤣
@@brandonquist8394 2 years late to visit said ted talk
Yeah but that heat would melt that metal easily
@@gh3stly627 would it though? The dwemer were an advanced race of people. That metal alloy would probably have a stupid high melting point after they perfected it.
like my balls
I feel like the centurion was huge because metal expands with heat
Nice theory
Or he was just huge
@Chris H then what explains him shrinking back down?
Plus, his probably been in there for a couple thousand years
Yeah but the heat would surely warp the metal out of shape too which isn’t the case for the forgemaster
I've alway thought of Salty as a pirate that got entangled with a sea witch who cursed him by changing him into a mudcrab. Shoes require feet, pirates love treasure which is why he has gold and sometimes a leveled gemstone, and what good is a pirate without a tankard of mead? 🤔
I’ve actually managed to fight all of the bosses on this list, but I believe there is a boss fight that was certainly missed, and that would be the twin dragons of the Forgotten Vale. Their ability to dive under the ice is uniquely terrifying as well as being one of, if not the only time you have to fight two dragons at the same time. Very, very cool fight, though I do appreciate seeing the Forgemaster make an appearance.
Looked it up and yeah. Thats pretty cool. Looks like i have to give the Dawnguard DLC another shot soon
The fight terrified me at first but it was pretty easy tbh. Most painful part of the fight is that Miraak stole one of the souls
Nate: We all know about the main story bosses
Me: Main Story? I forgot about that!!!!
I have over 20 different playthroughs in Skyrim. I've completed the main quest twice.
15ish playthroughs only once finished the main quest line... and only because I put everything on hold and went straight to finishing it... I have no clue how high level I was, but it was one of my oldest playthroughs xD xD after finishing it that time i never did so again... and I have tried a good few times xD
I've had many playthroughs in Skyrim, oblivion and morrowind and I've never finished any of those games
@@BraddahSpliff About the same, my first character and a Dragon hunter.
Braddah Spliff can you get dragonrend without doing the main quest? I’d hate to have to run around just for the fucking dragon to hover over a rock when he could’ve landed in the giant fucking field I’m right next to.
8:49 "Just another powerful mirelurk" You feeling okay there Nate?
There’s a boss in Dragonborn DLC with an ice throne. If you defeat him, you can summon him 3 times total. Pretty unique and he’s very strong.
I can just imagine the forge master rising from the magma and being a burnt scrap of metal
What about Karstaag?
I found him to be even more troublesome than the ebony warrior.
He fucking yeeted me into the caverns
Isn't he actually the strongest enemy in game period? Like highest health and armor and damage by far?
@@TheEmpireDabsBack he's easy when you have a shit ton of frost resistance
ItzKlamzXtreme He’s level 150 which makes him the strongest hostile character in the game. Strangely enough, Arngeir of the Greybeards is the highest leveled character in the game at about level 210.
@@TheEmpireDabsBack I dont think he has the highest health (I think he has 4000 and a few dragons and other bosses may have more), but his health regeneration is so crazy that he basically has the highest health. His moveset is dope as hell though.
The biggest boss battle is not beating up Nazeem every time you walk by. I just want to throw him down the well in the market so bad.
Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't.
I failed that boss. When the stormcloaks took whiterun I couldn’t help but kill him lol
I saw him walk by and then hid in the bushes. I shot him with my bow and nobody saw me
@@mistermanners6661 ...said random douche who have little more coins than farmer to guy who have like 5 impvroved Daedra armors, tons of mythic weapons and armors, 10 houses, 3 dragonbone improved armors... That's one of most hillarious things in game
@rollin thirtys what if someone steals the boots?.... What if people turned into nazeem if they wear the boots (yeah i know that wont happen... Pls dont curse me out ive dealt with enough of that today)
Just imagine the ebony warrior is the mysterious stranger from fallout
Last time i checked the mysterious stranger wasn’t black
@@vuvuzela4570 He’s using a perk that gives him the N-word pass.
Hardest boss fight in the elder scrolls series: figuring out when tes 6 will come out
Simple answer when your grandkids grandkids have grandkids and only then
I seriously thought old salty was a Mr Crabs Spongebob reference
Me too
fun fact: mr Crabs is a mire lurk.
Anyone who kills old Salty is a villain of their own. He was so nice in Morrowind
Yeah and if you do the Neravarine is gonna get your ass
Old Salty will most likely get killed by The Thalmor if you do the quest that reveals the area where a bunch stalthrim is at, but only if you goto the place in order for him to spawn in and then come back to that place when The Thalmor spawn there, thus The Thalmor become the villain for killing a mudcrab that was once nice.
Aerothall Ji one more reason...
@@diepssuarez2676 he was delicious 😋
@@diepssuarez2676 I kinda wonder if mudcrabs become more intelligent the longer they live.
I don’t know if he already brought up karstaag yet but he should.
Hes by far the strongest enemy in my eyes
I just finished the Lost to the Ages quest yesterday. It was one of the most enjoyable quests I've had in Skyrim. Lots of epic combats. The forge master was not much of a threat, probably because i had sthalrim weapons enchanted with frost, I didn't even knew that he was weak to frost althrough it does make sense.
What’s particularly interesting about Kornalus, especially at higher levels, is that he’s one of the few high-level mages that can be resurrected with the Dead Thrall spell. His expert level destruction and conjuration spells make him a VERY useful ally, and since Dead Thralls are permanent and don’t disintegrate after death, he can follow and assist the player indefinitely. Plus, if he (or any other thrall) is brought to the basement of a player’s Hearthfire home and killed, he won’t normally despawn and so can be retrieved whenever the player desires. This frees the player up to wander around alone and still have their undead buddy at their disposal if they choose.
The diving dragons battle in dawnguard. Such an awesome battle with the dragons diving through the ice and surprise jump up. It's probably the first time battling two dragons at the same time for a lot of people.
I was once just walking when I found it, I loaded back and did not return until level 40 lol
@@opsjim1450 wow i beat them at level 24 smth, granted i was a orc, had over 5k arrows on me and was overprepared for it, but i still beat it!
@@foethefox793 yeah I over prepared too lol. I thought it was gonna be the hardest fight of my life so I didn’t go back until then lol
I first came across Lord Tusk in my current play through. I was taking a break from the vanilla main questline and playing the Dawnguard DLC main questline. I was at the “A New Order” quest and Gunmar was randomly placed on Horker Island. I was level 15. I believe I was taking Freya and Vigilance the dog with me when I arrived and found the journal and the horkers. It was pure chaos. Gunmar’s spawning had of course triggered a bear attack on top of the horkers and I ended up trying to snipe everything not human from a rock while gunmar, Vigilance, and freya went berserk against everything. I lost track of Vigilance and ended up falling off a short cliff. A horker came around the corner at me and being a mage-thief with shit health I was quickly running off to find a snipe point. When the smoke cleared, Vigilance was dead next to Lord Tusk (Press F to pay respects), Gunmar was doing that NPC “I’m bearly alive” limp thing and Freya was having a hilarious duel with a random mudcrab (“Whaaat?! All Maker Protect us!”)
All in all, one of the most hilarious fights ever lmao 😂
Ebony warrior is by far the hardest fight in the entire game.the snow elf boss from dawn guard was like a 10 second fight. Ebony warrior takes 20 trys and all legendary gear.

Best game ever

I actually love the Lost to the Ages questline, and Katria is one of my favorite NPCs in the game
Not to mention Zephyr is one of the BEST bows in the game, especially for bow masters. Lost to the Ages is my all time favorite quest!
When i did for the first time, i love it, and still my favorite
completely agreed
Katria has some of the best NPC interactions since she will actually react to what you take from her corpse.
@@Tyler_Gomola Yeah, laughed the first time I looted everything off her corpse & she got upset at me.
Anybody else notice he said mirelurk when talking about old salty
I absolutely love the 'Lost to the Ages' storyline. It's awesome gets you an awesome bow, and just a really cool nod to the lore
The hardest boss: leveling up smithing
I'd say speach
Alchemy goes by so much slower if you’re not trying to use glitches or exploits. Smithing with ancient knowledge, warrior stone, and well rested is fairly quick to lvl
Build all three Hearthfire houses and boom smithing 100
Iron arrows and gold rings can work wonders
Restoration is the worst to level up
Lost to the Ages is one of my favorites to do and I can't understand how someone could not ever complete it. But then again I do also actually like going into Dwemer ruins and poking around. Such a great mystery surrounding the Dwemer.
That's probably part of the problem. I personally dislike the dwemer ruins, so I avoid them if I can.
How can you dislike Dwemer ruins!? Dungeon delving is the best!
I just find them really time consuming
I hate dwemer ruins so much the only one I like is black reach butthats coming from a person who doesn't like ancient nordic ruins cause they are to scary
Especially in vr
What I love about skyrim is the absolute choice you have in dealing with harder enemies. Its in a way that seems natural, considering how many tiny choices you make can have a huge difference later down the road.
Working on my first playthrough and these videos are so informative and helpful. But also make me nervous to get to some things.
“Altmer and Cyrodilic Needs” sounds like it could be a fan-fic about the origin of the Bretons.
Probably a smut fic as well
Kshitij Benedict When I say fan-fic, the smut is implied.
For future reference it Aldermer and Cyrodilic Nedes.
Except it ain’t lol
...
Old Salty killed me once. Of course I had a damage modifier on, and I just wasn't expecting a mudcrab "boss." I got my revenge
He simply allowed you to kill him, out of pity for your weakness.
He called the mubcrab a mirelurk
Lost to the ages is one of the most underrated quests in the entire game. It’s so far my favourite quest I’ve ever done and I happened upon it by accident
I found your videos about 2 months ago?.......I love them so much. Thank you. Don't ever stop.
I had a run in with the Ebony Warrior at level 40 and couldn't defeat him, so I ran and avoided that area at all cost. No sight of him since. lol
Im pretty that isnt possible
@@blindtreeman8052 no it's possible, it's just a glitch.
I wish he'd shown at level 40... might have been a challenge then.
“How’s it going Nate it’s guys here” is my favourite intro
Kornalus was actually one of my first bosses, when i was at least level 10 and still trying to find my favorite approach to combat, I stumbled upon him looking for loot and gear for me to try out
Lost to the ages is one of my favorite quest lines. I love looking through the Dwemer ruins so found it pretty easily.
5:42
"Around 30%-40% larger."
It looks barely 5% larger.
Volume scales by power three in comparison to the radius tho
@@henrikbrautmeier6534 Yeah, I know, that's why I didn't say anything about the Horker later, I know the square cube rule, but still, that doesn't look like 30%-40%
You obviously don’t know how percentages work
@@akrobeau I do. For 3d objects mass is cubed. Still, barely 5% larger.
R3fug33 It would’ve been fun if kept he upping the % of boss vs average as the vid went on like to 9001% sometime lol
“Blood thirsty blubber” is the only correct way to describe me and I wholeheartedly take that with pride-
8:30 old salty is a were-mudcrab. he’s a general merchant on the side, selling jewels and sorts.
I also love the fact I found Cornalus Frey by complete accident as I was running from dungeon to dungeon clearing out everything in sight.
When i faced the ebony warrior in my pyromancer build useing ahzidal`s ignite spell
The fight took me all of ten seconds
Troper H'ghar *gewd*
Never heard of it
@@dragongreek9059 first go to solstiem and find railas outside of ravenrock he needs to barrow money to excavate the dig site
Ahzadal`s ring of arcanea give you the freeze spell and ignite spell
Officaly the spell only does 4 damage for 15 seconds but the damage stacks ecspeicaly if you have the augmented flames perk and the aspect of terror perk
turning any boss you face into molten slag in seconds
I've probably put like 3000 hours into Skyrim since I started playing it in 2012, and there were like 4 things I have never seen before in this video
And that's why it's my favorite game of all time to this day
Same here ! Best game of all time
I've probably put in 15000 hours
@@thomasfulton0505 ehhh, probably not
@@erikho6936 well I started playing on xbox360. Logged in 0ver 5000 hours there. Went to ps3 played i dont kniw how much. Then went to Pc played an absolute shit town of hours. I played as many as 15 hours a day on my off days and usually 5 hours on days i worked i d say I done that for 3-5 years.
Now have played on xbox one. Not alot but some. Ive created 100s of characters ive completed every mission at least 3 times. Ive done all the DLC a100 times. So I. Serious when I say ive probably played 15,000 hours.
Thomas Fulton weird flex but okay.
I love your channel i thought i knew so.much about skyrim obviously now
The lost of the ages quest was one of the first side quests I played through and it has to be one of my fav ones too. It was so fun- even tho I hate dwarven ruins
Those three dislikes are the people who can't beat these boss fights.
Actually it's from people that heard him call a mudcrab a mirelurk.
@@andrewsnyder9301 Lol, but it was on purpose.
They can't beat the mudcrab
Amen brother.
I actually constantly run into Frey...like, I can't avoid him, I usually accidentally walk into that dungeon so many times it's ridiculous
I love how you use the term "Parliament of Horkers."
9:04 Could Old Salty be a part of some kind of mystical merchant crab tradition??! No he just ate a drunk guy.
Nerves Concord I think he ate someone to
The ULTIMATE boss: loading screen and time for that, now the best dude and imortal companion channel goes to you nate, because you are my companion for those moments while i watch your vídeos
Old Salty and his mudcrab army + mod that replaces all Mudcrab dialogue with "Reeeeeeeee" = a truly terrifying battle
The Frey connection could also be some sort of adoption, or that Mercer and Kornelius are half-borthers
If I remember rightly, the dude who wasn't eaten by Lord Tusk has a mace beside him. I remember that after he saw his friends devoured by the horkers, his anger increased so much that it imbued the mace. The mace is called ''Horksbane''
Two tiny details you have not covered:
1. The drauger will say sovenguard when fighting the dragonborn (easier to find with subtitles one)
2. In the Soul Carin, if you murder the Keepers to death before meeting Valerica, her dialogue will mention about how you have already killed them. Subtle but cool none the less.
It's Sovngarde actually
Biggest mistake I’ve ever made was fighting Karstaag on legendary difficulty. 😂
Love your wideos Nate keep them comming ;]
Wow the book in the Hoorker entry really reminded me of the warning in Doctor Who Silence in the library
8:50 anyone else catch him saying mirelurk instead of mudcrab, kinda happy I caught that
I was happy that I helped the ebony warrior to go to afterlife
A million for the best channel. You deserve it!!!!!
