Fun fact: If you pick a lock of a chest in Hillgrund's Tomb while Gauldr sees you and proceed to loot the chest, he will actually call you out, claiming that it belongs to his family. He will then say you can help yourself as long as you help him take out that elf.
I felt bad when he said that but proceeded to take the loot after I finished murdering to death the elf, so Gauldr didn't technicality see me. Then I didn't feel that bad
Funnily enough, I actually appreciate that Beem-Ja tries to kill the dragonborn for the blood sacrifice in order to absorb Gathrik's power. Because after you kill him, Salma will tell you that he basically raised her since she was a child. I like that he couldn't find the will in himself to kill the girl he raised for many years.
But there *HAS* to be an ulterior motive. Dude, that dungeon's got *A LOT OF WOLVES* I always think they're going to just let them go and clean a small nearby town... It leaves some room for imagination. The big Bethesda mistery is *WHERE DO MERCENARIES GO*
Hey about Pinewatch, I don't know what he's talking about it being super hidden. I just went through it the other day and it's mandatory for completing the Thieves Guild quest line since you need to get a stolen mold back from the treasure room to gain a partner in Markarth. So anyone who finishes the Thieves Guild will have seen the place.
@@metanightmare4454 not to mention the fact that the button isn't exactly well hidden. Its easy enough to spot for anyone with eyes who doesn't just immediately run out of the room.
In Hillgrund's Tomb, when you reach the door to the final room, if you stop and speak to Golldir, he says one of my favorite lines in the game: "That dark elf is about to become a dead elf."
My favorite dungeon is probably High Gate Ruins. It's a quest dungeon. The quest is called "A Scroll for Anska." You gain Anska as a temporary follower, much like at Ironbind Barrow. At the end, there's Vokun the dragon priest. His mask is the first I ever obtained, and it boosts my favorite schools of magic (Conjuration, Illusion, and Alteration). Completing the quest also awards you the unique spell "Flaming Familair." It summons a wolf made of fire. It runs up to enemies and explodes. What's more, the Word Wall in the ruins contains Storm Call, easily one of the most overpowered Shouts in the game.
@@sebarus8108 Go to Ustengrav where you retrieve the Horn of Jurgen Wincaller, then head north-northeast. The map marker icon should be visible from Ustengrav.
When I went in there for the first time, Lydia and Anska kept fighting. Anska would fireball Lydia, knock her down, only for her to get back up again to be fireballed once more. Geez ladies... hakuna your tatas.
What I really like about Nr. 5 is that Golldir actually complains when you loot the corpses of his ancestors. He will say something like "Really? You can't let them rest at peace? Fine. Take it as your payment for helping me."
Yeah, looting dead Draugr and Urns had me pretty curious for awhile. I remember when I did that mindlessly when I first played. And now I'm like "Isn't that pretty disrespectful to the dead?"
@@loganjohnson5656 kinda disrespectful of the dead to try to murder you to death. Quid pro quo. Besides, most dungeons are already infiltrated by bandits,forsworn, or mages. They've already done some looting. You're just taking your pay for dealing with grave robbers
@@loganjohnson5656 I bring a lot of mountain flowers and give one as repayment for any named characters I loot. Helps stave off a bit of that guilt. If you run out of flowers, mushrooms work too.

That hidden bandit dungeon in Pinewatch is actually a major part of the "bonus" series of Thieve's Guild quests (that eventually reward you the guild master title and armor set).
And I still have nightmares about it. And I live next door. And even after SWEARING I would never pick up one of the stones again, I couldn’t resist in Hob’s fall, so I know I’ll have to go back. 😰😫😭
I think he somehow didn't figure out that the whole reason behind the large number of wolves that those bandits had was to run a dog fighting ring. I know he literally mentioned seeing two wolves fighting in the pit, but I guess it kinda went over his head somehow and he just didn't put two and two together.
I loved Pinewatch cuz I bought some house land from Falkreath and Pinewatch is like, an arrow-shot down the road from the place - I wanted to get acquainted with my new neighbors so I brought over some ale and bbq and ended up finding a secret Bandit cave to slaughter through instead. the kids love it!

Take a look into the "Sightless Pit" dungeon just west of the Shrine to Azura. It's a unique dungeon that has a 1-way entrance and lots of vertical traversal culminating in a giant Dwarven Temple infested with Falmer. It's one of the few Falmer dungeons in the game I enjoy and I'd rate it as one of the most unique dungeons in the base game.
CassiusBenard1 It’s used in the Creation Club “Sunder & Wraithguard” quest. The creation adds in an extra room, two of Kagrenac’s tools, and a unique Centurion called the “The Messenger”. The whole “Xrib” thing is weird too.
I agree! I loved that dungeon. But somehow I forgot where it was, I knew it was somewhere near the College. Thanks for reminding me! (Makes sense that I missed it, since I usually deliberately ignore certain quests based on the character I'm playing)
I originally did it as part of the Hellen Reborn mod and thought for a while that it was added by the mod because it was so different from base game content.
Absolutely HATED the fact that I could not make Pinewatch a home for myself. No one is left there. No one lives there now. Yet I cannot live there...aggravating....
On the bright side, with the Hearthfire DLC, you can build a house, like, a yard away from Pinewatch. So you can have the bandits of Pinewatch as neighbors!
@@MrSpartan17 No need for a mod, just Hearthfire DLC and becoming Thane of Falkreath.

The chief wasn't killing the dogs--he was taking the dogs that died while fighting and we're discarded. There's a dead dog in one of the bottom passages of the fort where there's flooding. I think when a dog dies in a fight they discard it down there and the chief takes it up to the kitchen to cook it.
Frostflow Lighthouse is one of my favorites. For a dungeon with no quest significance it boasts quite a good story. I love horror movies so it is right up my alley.
Is it the one where you discover that the Falmer had dug into the basement and murked everybody? I discovered it a few days ago, ít sure was a nice, kinda sad, surprise. I somewhat cheated because i read the wiki and discovered that if you put one of the victims remains into the lighthouse fire, you get a permanent small buff.
Don’t forget, in Ironbind Barrow there is an axe of firey soul trapping, the only one in the game. It inflicts both fire damage and traps souls while still only taking up one enchantment slot.
1) I always figured that the chef was cooking up the pit losers. 2) Never understood why Beem-Ja was so eager to kill me, like "dude did you not just see me slaughter Gathrik to death? Do you really think you are so much stronger than Gathrik that I won't murder you to death too?"
Its honestly surprising how many bandits and murderhobos there are in a world where practically anyone could potentially posess the power to shoot lightning and fire out of their hands.
The magic of shitty writing. Why didnt they just made Beem-Ja give the player some kind of offer for killing the woman as sacrifice? And only if you refuse would he turn hostile, Bethesda imho always teases us with "you can do anything" but they never TRULY let you be evil. I grew so disillusioned with their shitty writing after i recently reinstalled Skyrim, everything just feels super shallow.
@@ChucklesMcbastard They never learn, i mean, its just like this in Fallout 4. You see this guy in a decked out power armor with a huge rocket launcher over his shoulder? Yeah, the one that just wiped out that supermutant camp? Lets shoot our makeshift guns at him!
the one tomb with ghost of the girl who fell and died exploring there. It is the one that starts the quest to get the atherum shards (or whatever they are called, I am too lazy to google the actual spelling) and unlock some special Dwemer forge. If you loot the girls dead body in front of her ghost, she reaction is pretty funny. Plus it is cute how she tries to scare you into leaving the cave when you first enter. As far as memorable unique dungeons, that one is my favorite
I actually like to try and use Stealth and go through a dungeon challenging myself to try and kill the least amount of enemies possible to see how low I can manage. Excluding 'boss' enemies who you kind of have to kill to get certain items (Dragon Priests with their masks and enemies with keys to otherwise un-pickable doors) or that need to die to complete missions.
My favorite dungeon is the lighthouse. I tend to hate the Falmer dungeons because they're long an tedious, but the lighthouse is really fun, especially if your going stealth archer mode. It feels good avenging that good family who fell into bad luck
Ironbind Barrow is also notable as being the location where you get the Battle-axe of Fiery Souls, a unique weapon that can be disenchanted to learn the fiery soul trap enchantment, essentially a two in one. Allowing for triple enchanted weapons if you get your enchanting to 100. I love that dungeon.
The centurions were always so menacing, before i fell for the stealth archer meme, i feared them the most out of any enemy. Definitely a highlight among all the bland, copypaste hordes of enemies we usually get in Skyrim... long gone are the times of Oblivion and its crack-fueled creativity and variety.
I’m always sneaking during that A Night To Remember Dungeon and after I hear what that final boss has to say, he gets an arrow/bolt in the back. That Pinewatch dungeon is related to the Thieves' Guild quest Silver Lining
It's a dog-fighting ring(or wolf rather). Whatta you mean "why"??? Also, you don't "have" to kill anyone in Pinewatch, you can sneak all the way through and never touch anyone. It's part of a Thieves Guild side-quest.
Mike from TX. Yeah, the quest to get the silver candle mold. Everyone knows these dungeons, they're some of the most discussed, this channel has jumped the shark, we're all just here anymore to listen to someone talking about one of our favorite games now. Besides the fact that Nate already talked about this dog fighting ring ages ago...He's just recycling content now, and acting like he doesn't know I guess?
One of my favorite experiences in the game was the first time I ended up fighting an entire city. It all started with me picking a lock and breaking into a house. On the table was a Sweet Roll and a few vegetables. in an attempt to steal the Sweet Roll I accidentally stole one of veggies by mistake. Unbeknownst to me there was someone in the room with me who started yelling for the guards. in a panic I killed the homeowner, causing me to panic more and exit the domicile. Once outside I was swarmed by LITERALLY EVERYONE IN THE CITY! (It was Whiterun, so not the largest group of people.) I began swinging my two handed sword with as much power as I could muster and eventually was able to fight my way to the front gate. I stole a horse and booked it as far and as fast as possible. Once out of the range of my enemies I was able to quick-travel to another city. Once there I opened my inventory to clear out my excessive stock of stuff I was looting on my way out of the city when I came to the vegetable. I couldn't help but laugh. It was a leek. I was attacked by the guards and citizens of Whiterun for taking a Leek in someone's house.
I was attacked by Lucan in Riverwood after giving him his golden claw and then was swarmed by the entire population bc I accidentally killed a chicken. This was my first playthrought ever and I was shocked.
I quite enjoyed slaughtering the bandits in Faldar's Tooth, I'm a Werewolf and, because of an awesome mod, all wolves are my friends, not only I got to free all of them, but also they fought at my side, killing their captors that not only forced them to fight for entertainment, but also were eating their fallen, I made sure to eat all the bandits' hearts before leaving, you don't mess with puppers in my Skyrim!!!
The dog meat was not a secret, it was a way to dispose of the animals killed in the cage or in training. There was also skooma in the location... the likelihood they cared that it was wolf meat would be dramatically lowered.
"I doubt the bandits know that the chef is murdering their animals." Dude, they're also murdering they're animals. Killing an animal to eat it is SO much better than forcing animals to fight for entertainment.
Ironbind Barrow also has one of the best unique enchantments in the game: Fiery Soul Trap. It can be disenchanted from the battleaxe it's on and with the 2 enchantments perk can let you have 3 enchantments on a weapon.
Nate: If you sneak you can hear the following conversation "They drink all day and night and what do I do?..." Also Nate: There are a bunch of empty wine bottles that are never explained!
I found Pinewatch by accident trying to build up my Falkreath homestead.. and man, that first time exploring it, I got the creeps. All these bandits just a stones throw from my adopted kids and chickens? I remember immediately moving to Solitude. XD
If the bandits at Faldar's Tooth didn't realize what they were eating, it's kind of odd that the Dragonborn can apparently identify it on sight. Unless our backstory is that we've had to eat dogmeat (No, not _that_ Dogmeat) fairly regularly at some point in the past.
I actually found Pinewatch by accident on my current play through. If you look closely at the shelf you can see a wind effect blowing at the base of it, which is what got me looking around to find a way to move it and ultimately discovering the nearby button. Was a pleasant surprise and an enjoyable distraction. Though at the end I ended up with some sort of quest item I don't know what to do with yet that I can't drop - some sort of casting mold.
Bleak Falls Barrow, it is such an amazing 1st dungeon to do and it has drown me into starting new Skyrim games many times. I remember the time I did it in VR was jaw dropping.
With Pinewatch, it's hard to miss it really, at least if you're a fan of the Lakeview Manor homestead. If you make that your player home you would probably be curious about the nearby bandit hideout. There are some notes there, and one of them mentions the secret button/entrance.
The axe on the back of the throne in ironbound Barrow, has a one of a kind enchantment on it that you can learn. I am surprised that he did not mention that.
7:32 Considering good Ol Sanguine sticks around in the basement of the dungeon (where the portal was) after the quest (at least he did in my file), I’d just imagine they’re his, considering his love of drunken revelry.
Nate: "In battle, the Dunmer is actually a surprisingly unique foe, as he makes use of teleportation and Conjuration spells that are difficult to answer to." Me, muffled and sniping Vals and the Draugr from the doorway: "Hmm? You say something?"
Are you asking if it can be explored again, or are simply stating that it can be? Because the dungeon IS still there, but since I don't remember finding anything new or interesting there, then I'm pretty sure that there isn't. That's probably why those mods exist to begin with. Although I guess a lot of people wouldn't think to check it out again, so it does qualify for this list, even if I do turn out to be right about not finding anything new there.
@@MoostachedSaiyanPrince I'm saying it can be accessed and that there's something definitely there. Mostly just some low-level bandits decided to move in.
I still remember the shock I got the first time I found those bandits XD Though idk what's the deal with them, since sometimes in subsequent playthroughs they weren't there
@@TheKrensada Are you shitting me? Morrowind is the most interesting of the 3D Elder Scrolls games by far, with a cool alien landscape and creatures in comparison to the lame and normal fantasy fare of Oblivion and Skyrim.
Ironbind Barrow is one of the few dungeons I almost always go through for the fiery soul trap enchantment. It’s my favorite enchantment by far because it gives a damage buff and allows you to recharge it without having to have level 100 enchanting skill.
The first time I entered pine watch I discovered the note that mentions the secret tunnels but it was only the third time I actually found the butten by accident while looting the table next to it for the third time🤣
Pinewatch is one of my personal favorite dungeons in the game. I discovered it quite by accident in an early play through and now make a point of it being one of the first locations I hit when I run around.
pinewatch.. found it randomly on my 2 or 3 plauthrough.. its now my favorite dungeon. i like all there is to see and discover in such a random small innocent house randomly placed in the wilderness, and i love the looks of the makeshift bar and their entire setup actually
Pine watch is featured in the quest “Silver Linings”, unlocked by doing five radiant thieves guild quests in Markarth and part of rebuilding the glory of the Thieves Guild.
Hey Nate, you HAVE to visit Pine Watch, of course, if you follow the quest-line of the Thieves Guild. After completing the five random quests in Markarth, Delvin sends you there to talk to Endon for a special job. And this job leads you right into Pine Watch. Love your videos!!!!
I totally found pinewatch completely on my own without watching any videos. I've always been one of those people to really closely look everywhere and spend way too much time in RPG's. That said it's actually pretty obvious that there's a secret layer in pinewatch if you read the notes left around.
I’d leave it next to, but outside of, the Cloud District in Whiterun, so that he can never make it to the Cloud District again. Bonus points for putting it on a string around the neck of a trained skeever who eats sweet rolls.
This is for sure the nice side of skyrim. IN March 2012 I had hundreds and hundreds of hours in skyrim Played it again in 2018 Until now Speriwncing this little details of the dog meats... This channel is for sure epic Thank you epic nate One love FROM Portugal friend
Pinewatch is literally SO useful early game, it's one of the first places I go before going to the bandit camp near the shrine of talos, the mine and then the small cabin near bleak falls barrow! I def recommend it to anyone starting a new playthrough! The biggest challenges in it are from the boss at the end and the group in the room before that- they can really gang up on you at early levels.
Have you found the Skeleton arm raising a Dwarven sword out of a lake? Like a SKyrim mocking the lady in the lake? Talk to a guy the other day that was surprised you can (without cheats) make a 2 to 3k potion. Not everyone knows every ting on this game.
My favorite dadric quest which is also may favorite quest as well is the one where you get the wabberjack because the dadric prince is quite funny. My favorite quote from him being "I know! How about the Wabbajack!"
Fun fact: If you pick a lock of a chest in Hillgrund's Tomb while Gauldr sees you and proceed to loot the chest, he will actually call you out, claiming that it belongs to his family. He will then say you can help yourself as long as you help him take out that elf.

Its honestly surprising how many bandits and murderhobos there are in a world where practically anyone could potentially posess the power to shoot lightning and fire out of their hands.
"Hey lads, that geezer there, the one who just killed a dragon and absorbed its soul, let's rob the bugger"
The magic of shitty writing.
Why didnt they just made Beem-Ja give the player some kind of offer for killing the woman as sacrifice? And only if you refuse would he turn hostile, Bethesda imho always teases us with "you can do anything" but they never TRULY let you be evil.
I grew so disillusioned with their shitty writing after i recently reinstalled Skyrim, everything just feels super shallow.
@@ChucklesMcbastard They never learn, i mean, its just like this in Fallout 4.
You see this guy in a decked out power armor with a huge rocket launcher over his shoulder? Yeah, the one that just wiped out that supermutant camp? Lets shoot our makeshift guns at him!
For the pinewatch example, there is a journal in the house that hints at the entrench, referencing the breeze coming for the shelf
there is also a note about the gift they left the bandit outside
the one tomb with ghost of the girl who fell and died exploring there. It is the one that starts the quest to get the atherum shards (or whatever they are called, I am too lazy to google the actual spelling) and unlock some special Dwemer forge. If you loot the girls dead body in front of her ghost, she reaction is pretty funny. Plus it is cute how she tries to scare you into leaving the cave when you first enter. As far as memorable unique dungeons, that one is my favorite
Aren't all Dungeons the same... In the end.... Every Enemy got Murdered to Death...

@@lachiehopkins216 CRAWLIIIING IN MYYYYY SKIIIIIIIN.
I actually like to try and use Stealth and go through a dungeon challenging myself to try and kill the least amount of enemies possible to see how low I can manage. Excluding 'boss' enemies who you kind of have to kill to get certain items (Dragon Priests with their masks and enemies with keys to otherwise un-pickable doors) or that need to die to complete missions.
@@lachiehopkins216 I think you meant "Everyone dies to death"
@@mistertaz94 That's a good way.
My favorite dungeon is the lighthouse. I tend to hate the Falmer dungeons because they're long an tedious, but the lighthouse is really fun, especially if your going stealth archer mode. It feels good avenging that good family who fell into bad luck
Dont forget to put the man´s remains in the fire atop the lighthouse to get a buff.
@@vavra222 I didn't realize that was a thing. I'll have to give that a try this time around when I eventually find myself there again.
Hey Nate you lied to me, you said this was 5 interesting dungeons in skyrim but this is obviously skyrim 2 :/
?.?
What?
@@christianjakobsen1747 what?
Dude I like your vids
What is this reply thread?
Ironbind Barrow is also notable as being the location where you get the Battle-axe of Fiery Souls, a unique weapon that can be disenchanted to learn the fiery soul trap enchantment, essentially a two in one. Allowing for triple enchanted weapons if you get your enchanting to 100. I love that dungeon.
Me: *Walks over*
Me: *Opens door*
Dwarven centurion: Oh hi Mark.
Me: *Shuts door*
The centurions were always so menacing, before i fell for the stealth archer meme, i feared them the most out of any enemy.
Definitely a highlight among all the bland, copypaste hordes of enemies we usually get in Skyrim... long gone are the times of Oblivion and its crack-fueled creativity and variety.
I’m always sneaking during that A Night To Remember Dungeon and after I hear what that final boss has to say, he gets an arrow/bolt in the back. That Pinewatch dungeon is related to the Thieves' Guild quest Silver Lining
It's a dog-fighting ring(or wolf rather). Whatta you mean "why"???
Also, you don't "have" to kill anyone in Pinewatch, you can sneak all the way through and never touch anyone. It's part of a Thieves Guild side-quest.
Mike, from Texas Yeah, it's pretty obviously a dog-fighting ring and betting hall. Poor Nate, so naive sometimes.
There's even a random encounter that leads you there
It's better to kill all the bandit scum
Mike from TX. Yeah, the quest to get the silver candle mold. Everyone knows these dungeons, they're some of the most discussed, this channel has jumped the shark, we're all just here anymore to listen to someone talking about one of our favorite games now.
Besides the fact that Nate already talked about this dog fighting ring ages ago...He's just recycling content now, and acting like he doesn't know I guess?
@@AIIEYESONME I'm stupid for expecting "something new" :(
One of my favorite experiences in the game was the first time I ended up fighting an entire city.
It all started with me picking a lock and breaking into a house. On the table was a Sweet Roll and a few vegetables. in an attempt to steal the Sweet Roll I accidentally stole one of veggies by mistake. Unbeknownst to me there was someone in the room with me who started yelling for the guards. in a panic I killed the homeowner, causing me to panic more and exit the domicile. Once outside I was swarmed by LITERALLY EVERYONE IN THE CITY! (It was Whiterun, so not the largest group of people.) I began swinging my two handed sword with as much power as I could muster and eventually was able to fight my way to the front gate. I stole a horse and booked it as far and as fast as possible. Once out of the range of my enemies I was able to quick-travel to another city. Once there I opened my inventory to clear out my excessive stock of stuff I was looting on my way out of the city when I came to the vegetable. I couldn't help but laugh. It was a leek. I was attacked by the guards and citizens of Whiterun for taking a Leek in someone's house.
"I was attacked by the guards and citizens of Whiterun for taking a Leek in someone's house."
Great punchline man.
I was attacked by Lucan in Riverwood after giving him his golden claw and then was swarmed by the entire population bc I accidentally killed a chicken. This was my first playthrought ever and I was shocked.
I do love the way you always say "murdered to death" as if your able to "murder them to mild injury" or something like that lol.
he watched supernatural, you dont murder anyone, you dont kill anyone, you murder them to death, otherwise they come back :/
I quite enjoyed slaughtering the bandits in Faldar's Tooth, I'm a Werewolf and, because of an awesome mod, all wolves are my friends, not only I got to free all of them, but also they fought at my side, killing their captors that not only forced them to fight for entertainment, but also were eating their fallen, I made sure to eat all the bandits' hearts before leaving, you don't mess with puppers in my Skyrim!!!
Dogs are the best; I salute you!
Damn, you should have cooked up them dogs
“Sovngarde is a myth, you s’wit!”
He says right in front of someone who (if you postpone this quest for long enough) has *been* to Sovngarde.
i just love how bandits have dream journals like a teen girl lol
The dog meat was not a secret, it was a way to dispose of the animals killed in the cage or in training. There was also skooma in the location... the likelihood they cared that it was wolf meat would be dramatically lowered.
"I doubt the bandits know that the chef is murdering their animals."
Dude, they're also murdering they're animals. Killing an animal to eat it is SO much better than forcing animals to fight for entertainment.
Yngol's Barrow was interesting to me. All those weird floating lights (ghosts?), and an insanely tough foe!
Ironbind Barrow also has one of the best unique enchantments in the game: Fiery Soul Trap. It can be disenchanted from the battleaxe it's on and with the 2 enchantments perk can let you have 3 enchantments on a weapon.
More than three perks if you throw on a second enchantment that also has more than one perk.
Galdir has some unique dialogue if your a Dark Elf
What is it
@@wivaaflow1349 "He's in there defiling the bodies of my ancestors with his filthy dark elf necromancy! N-nothing personal" something to that effect
I found out about the Pinewood dungeon after looking up why i kept getting attacked by bandits at Lakeview manor
Nate: If you sneak you can hear the following conversation "They drink all day and night and what do I do?..."
Also Nate: There are a bunch of empty wine bottles that are never explained!
I found Pinewatch by accident trying to build up my Falkreath homestead.. and man, that first time exploring it, I got the creeps. All these bandits just a stones throw from my adopted kids and chickens? I remember immediately moving to Solitude. XD
9:56 "I gave up marrying you off to some merchant's son since ya got the face of a skeever" BRUH
Another great video. I have played this game a hundred times and I still enjoy your take on these things. Looking forward to the next one.
If the bandits at Faldar's Tooth didn't realize what they were eating, it's kind of odd that the Dragonborn can apparently identify it on sight. Unless our backstory is that we've had to eat dogmeat (No, not _that_ Dogmeat) fairly regularly at some point in the past.
im a bit late but there is the dog meat item in a cooking pot
Even when you show me things I've already seen, I still feel compelled to watch your videos. You are my favorite Elder Scrolls TH-camr. Thank you.
The fact that he makes such quality scripted-like content so frequently makes this channel my favorite!
I have been to every single one of these dungeons and I still find new things to learn well watching your videos! :)
M´aiq has explored every Dungeon without clothes.
I believe everything that guy says.
You never run out of content Nate! Good job!
If you’ve started the Companions quest line, Faldr’s Tooth is inhabited by the silver hand. It makes sense with their hatred of wolves…
I actually found Pinewatch by accident on my current play through. If you look closely at the shelf you can see a wind effect blowing at the base of it, which is what got me looking around to find a way to move it and ultimately discovering the nearby button. Was a pleasant surprise and an enjoyable distraction. Though at the end I ended up with some sort of quest item I don't know what to do with yet that I can't drop - some sort of casting mold.
Pinewatch is actually part of the Thieves Guild questline, as there is a TG quest-item there.
Bleak Falls Barrow, it is such an amazing 1st dungeon to do and it has drown me into starting new Skyrim games many times. I remember the time I did it in VR was jaw dropping.
Wow, no Ansilvund? Where you literally fight the resurrected characters of the book “Of Fjori and Holgeir”?
With Pinewatch, it's hard to miss it really, at least if you're a fan of the Lakeview Manor homestead. If you make that your player home you would probably be curious about the nearby bandit hideout. There are some notes there, and one of them mentions the secret button/entrance.
The axe on the back of the throne in ironbound Barrow, has a one of a kind enchantment on it that you can learn. I am surprised that he did not mention that.
7:32 Considering good Ol Sanguine sticks around in the basement of the dungeon (where the portal was) after the quest (at least he did in my file), I’d just imagine they’re his, considering his love of drunken revelry.
Ironbind is where the Fiery Soul Trap enchantment is at. my favorite Duel element type
Nate: "In battle, the Dunmer is actually a surprisingly unique foe, as he makes use of teleportation and Conjuration spells that are difficult to answer to."
Me, muffled and sniping Vals and the Draugr from the doorway: "Hmm? You say something?"
What about post-Alduin Helgen (with no mods installed obvioiusly)?
Are you asking if it can be explored again, or are simply stating that it can be? Because the dungeon IS still there, but since I don't remember finding anything new or interesting there, then I'm pretty sure that there isn't. That's probably why those mods exist to begin with. Although I guess a lot of people wouldn't think to check it out again, so it does qualify for this list, even if I do turn out to be right about not finding anything new there.
@@MoostachedSaiyanPrince I'm saying it can be accessed and that there's something definitely there. Mostly just some low-level bandits decided to move in.
I still remember the shock I got the first time I found those bandits XD
Though idk what's the deal with them, since sometimes in subsequent playthroughs they weren't there
The empty wine bottles in morvanskar are probably from the Night to Remember quest. Sanguine hung out with them.
Hey Nate, can you do this type of videos on Morrowind?
Nobody cares about Morrowind anymore. it's an old game.
@@TheKrensada Are you shitting me? Morrowind is the most interesting of the 3D Elder Scrolls games by far, with a cool alien landscape and creatures in comparison to the lame and normal fantasy fare of Oblivion and Skyrim.
yo I really hope you keep this series up because this is content that made me reinstall skyrim.
The wolf queens tomb is a great one
Ironbind Barrow is one of the few dungeons I almost always go through for the fiery soul trap enchantment. It’s my favorite enchantment by far because it gives a damage buff and allows you to recharge it without having to have level 100 enchanting skill.
2:21 you forgot to say "to death". C'mon Nate.

The first time I entered pine watch I discovered the note that mentions the secret tunnels but it was only the third time I actually found the butten by accident while looting the table next to it for the third time🤣
Pinewatch is one of my personal favorite dungeons in the game. I discovered it quite by accident in an early play through and now make a point of it being one of the first locations I hit when I run around.
I agree with your list besides the last one where I would rather have the dungeon where you find the wisp mother. Great video though!
The chef didn't murder the hounds those are supposed to be the victims of the arena
pinewatch.. found it randomly on my 2 or 3 plauthrough.. its now my favorite dungeon. i like all there is to see and discover in such a random small innocent house randomly placed in the wilderness, and i love the looks of the makeshift bar and their entire setup actually
I did that last dungeon, and you forgot to mention an important thing in it.
The corpse of the aunt.
Pine watch is featured in the quest “Silver Linings”, unlocked by doing five radiant thieves guild quests in Markarth and part of rebuilding the glory of the Thieves Guild.
Too bad i avoid radiant quests like the plague lol. I hate timegating in MMOs, but there its kinda understandable, not in a fkin single player.
I discovered a few of these when I was a noob and still hanging around riverwood.
I'm sure Todd is happy the FBI plays his game.
Hey Nate, you HAVE to visit Pine Watch, of course, if you follow the quest-line of the Thieves Guild. After completing the five random quests in Markarth, Delvin sends you there to talk to Endon for a special job. And this job leads you right into Pine Watch. Love your videos!!!!
I’m guessing that lever on the left when you were with Naris opens the gate. Can you kill Naris by opening the gate and using fusrodah
I totally found pinewatch completely on my own without watching any videos. I've always been one of those people to really closely look everywhere and spend way too much time in RPG's. That said it's actually pretty obvious that there's a secret layer in pinewatch if you read the notes left around.
This looks like an interesting game, when does it come out?
November 11th, I think. So we'll have to wait for almost a year for it.
Whoosh
@@dustingideon5719 probably one of the few appropriate Woooosh's I've ever seen lol
I love the Pinewatch adventure! Had no idea about the button ! Goin there soon , your videos are top shelf, Nate !
my life goal:
get black star
soul trap nazeem
enchant amulet with his soul
throw it away in Sovngard
That's too nice. You should come up with some other worse fate. Drop it in the Soul Cairn, or leave it in the lowest district in Whiterun.
I need to reevaluate my life goals 🤔
I’d leave it next to, but outside of, the Cloud District in Whiterun, so that he can never make it to the Cloud District again. Bonus points for putting it on a string around the neck of a trained skeever who eats sweet rolls.
One video before the holidays it melts my heart
Are there any trees in these spooky caves
Eldergleam Sanctuary has trees.. also Bloated Man's Grotto and Shadowgreen Cavern!
This is for sure the nice side of skyrim. IN March 2012 I had hundreds and hundreds of hours in skyrim
Played it again in 2018
Until now
Speriwncing this little details of the dog meats...
This channel is for sure epic
Thank you epic nate
One love FROM Portugal friend
you dare assume there isn't a single dungeon I haven't been through?
The secret door in the Pinewatch place has air blowing out underneath it. That’s how I noticed it.
Great video! I was wondering if you could include a list of mods you use for these in the description?
10:09
Dragonborn: oh fuck my back hurts
have always known about pinewatch but never managed to progress through it fkr some reason. never was able to find the rest of the way through it
Pinewatch is literally SO useful early game, it's one of the first places I go before going to the bandit camp near the shrine of talos, the mine and then the small cabin near bleak falls barrow! I def recommend it to anyone starting a new playthrough! The biggest challenges in it are from the boss at the end and the group in the room before that- they can really gang up on you at early levels.
0:08 what Mod and is it for Xbox?
The weapon? I was hoping to find out too
Dragon bone
@@obliviousvr6961 thanks

Pinewatch! Was a total surprise to me the first time I saw that button on the wall!! It’s still a great place to run through!
I like the ones from solsteim the most
Thing that tipped me off about Pinewatch when I first played Skyrim was how long it took to load for such a “simple” cabin.
