10 Secret Boss Battles You May Have Missed In Skyrim 

When I found the giant mudcrab, I still had the Posh mudcrabs modification installed so there was a giant mud crab complete with top hat and monocle. Totally worth it😂

Taron Dreth did not kill Katria, he just stole her research. Katria died from a fall while trying to solo Arkngthamz to prove she had authored the research.

Is the Wolf Queen really hidden, the first time you go to the Blue Palace you have to sit through Varnius' plea for help, which kicks off the quest chain leading to her, before you're allowed to speak to anyone.

I was very surprised that Vulthuryol (the Blackreach dragon) wasn't on this list since it is easy to walk right on by and not know how to summon him.

Karstaag is easily overlooked, and very tough for a first encounter

Not just the word wall, it's also important to grab the steel battleaxe of fiery souls in ironbind barrow. It's the only way to get the fiery soul trap enchantment.

Skyrim doesn't have boss battles and you cant change my mind they're just special named characters

im surprised the dragon in blackreach wasnt mentioned since that fight can only be activated with specific conditions. I totally missed it my first time going to blackreach

Out of all 10 of these, I've found The Forgemaster to be the toughest to fight. It's not necessarily him that's hard, but the endless waves of Dwemer guardians and spiders that attack you while trying to kill The Forgemaster AND stop the steam from coming into the room.

Potema had such potential to be the best quest in the game

I absolutely love your skyrim ccontent. I recently started up a new game and have been loving it. I've played this game close to 25 times and I still love it. I also started oblivion again and I really hope those oblivion remasters for new systems is a true leak.

Everyone says all Dwemer ruins are the same except X. Insert different ruin for a different topic. The irony

Loved the forge master, best questline in the game

you forgot one of the best and hardest if not the hardest secret bosses being kaarthstagg the spirit frost giant who resides in kaathstagg castle on solsteim i died to him 15 + times on adept difficulty at level 50 hes one hard fight but i had 8 out of ten ive heard of on your list

There's actually 4 dragons that you can fight before Alduin starts resurrecting his folk, aside from the skeleton you mentioned. 1. Duhnevir (Always forget how to spell it) 2. The two dragons on the Firgotten Vale 3. The orange-black dragon in Blackreach Edit: Actually only Duhnevir.

I fought all these guys, surprised I didn't see that one dragon that spawns after you ring a few bells in that one underground dwemer location, that one was surprising to me.

Where is the Reaper? (He can found in Soul Cairn)

2 small corrections, dude didn't kill Katria, she fell into a crevass during a quake and you can also encounter Vulthuryol without doing dragon rising, but it is a bit of a pain in the butt.

I feel like I've found the body of the giant mudcrab somewhere out in the wilds. It was a dormant piece of scenery lying near one of the little crab pools, I think, on the plains far west of Whiterun.

I knew about all of these except for number 10. How have you not heard of Potema? Shes tied to a quest and you get contacted after aanwhile to deal with her again

You just want me to reinstall Skyrim!!! AGAIN!!!!

Are these videos voiced by AI? You keep mispronouncing words commonly spoken in game. No offense intended I'm genuinely curious.

Don’t stop posting the Skyrim vids brodie i never had netflix until recent but I used to watch Skyrim lore videos and challenges PRIME ENTERTAINMENT 💀🤣💯

If you can sneak past Arondil and pick up the Soul Gem beside him, the ghosts will attack him. They'll still be hostile toward you, but, you can let them have some justice before sending them to their final rest.

I kinda cheesed the fight with The Forgemaster with the Wabbajack, did get a tasty sweet roll out of it.

I love these random Skyrim videos popping up in 2023. I’m still playing too 🤣🤣🤣

There's 5 dragons not resurrected by alduin ... paarthunax, the skeletal dragon, the twins in the forgotten vale (no burials there so they been there sleeping til you disturb them) and the dragon of blackreach

I've played Skyrim for over 240 hours and the only one of these I've actually found (so far) is Warlord Gathric. I was going after a random "Source of Power" quest that led me to his tomb. I was level 12. He was a Draugr Overlord. He could TWO shot me. He DID one shot my follower (to downed, not dead) state a few attempts. But then I beat him and that was one of the most satisfying victories I've ever had in Skyrim.

One of my biggest mistakes was trying to take down Potema at level 9 with 37 iron arrows with a imperial bow, 11 minor healing potions, a basic healing spell, and a dragur war axe. Took 2 hours, lot of cursing, and constantly hiding to repeatedly do sneak attacks. The dragur scourge she had was worse than Potema herself. At least the fight taught me that things can only come back once before becoming ash.

so i killed all of them many times a boss i did always miss is the reaper in the soul cairn

In general: lot of the battles aren't realy tough, if you do know the shout ice form, which let's you freeze your enemies and keep them from attacking you, while you can take them down 1 by 1. Also, personally I don't think that all of the bosses are actually "secret" or "easy to miss". Some of them I wouldn't call boss fight as well. Actually easily missable boss battles: 1,4,5,6,(8),10 Not boss, but still easily missable: 7 Not secret, as they are part of fraction questline or their quests basically "comes to you": 2,3,9 2) Can't think that a lot of players missed him, cause you encounter him during the Dark Brotherhood questlline. 3) Also not realy a secret boss battle. You have to do the prequel quest to become Thane of Solitude/Haarfingar, and Potemas quest will than be brought to you by a courier. Sure, it's completely optional, but so is basically everything except the mainquest. 4) I found the remains of the giant mudcrab (and also knew what was up with it) but never got it to appear. Never found out, that it is part of a quest that is given by a rather hidden quest giver. 7) Wouldn't actually call him a boss, rather an unique random encounter, but he is indeed easy missable 8) Also not sure if you can call him a boss, but at least he is the last encounter in a dungeon 9) Again, not a secret boss, as his encounter is part of the mage academy questline

I installed a mod one time that bugged out and kept spawning Forgemasters in the overworld that were 5x bigger.

Me watching it, knowing full well I know skyrim better than it's debelopers

Anyone know the story with this channel? It's got a sort of detached vibe, like I almost want to say AI content. Maybe it's just that it looks & sounds very professional, and I'm cynical, but it somehow doesn't seem like there's an actual 'person' behind it, you know? Apologies if I'm way off here.

An important detail about Iron Bind Barrow. Completing it grants the fiery soul trap weapon that can be disenchanted for the best soul trap enchantment in the game

Udefrykte I killed him twice and didn't know the significance. I thought the name for "troll" got glitched out or something. Still don't know the significance tbh.

Arondill did what he did out of love for his dead wife, this ghost you can find sleeping in their room in the cave where you find him. If you read good journal he comes off as a very sad, but sympathetic character, and not some monstrous corpse fucker.

The skeletal dragon is absolutely terrifying in VR if you don’t know it’s there!!! My children learned a couple new choice words that day…

what i love is that people can have hundreds of hours in skyrim you can have only experienced 3 or 4 of these.

Ya know I always loved horkers. I always thought they were cute af. Also there's a mudcrab merchant in solstheim that wheres a hat.

You always makeme smile when i watc your videos

as Vampire that Forge Master was quite annoying ...... also Taron Dreth found me in tavern in Markarth right after i finished Lost to the Ages

All of these are not secret at all. Most are not even bosses. In fact the two actual truly secret bosses in the game are not even mentioned here. The Blackreach Dragon (not really a boss but a cool secret dragon battle) and Karstaag.

Gathrik is odd because along with Yngol, one in Skuldafn, and maybe others, he's of the rare undead type that appears as either a deathlord or dragon priest depending on level. Yngol is more interesting, because Ysgramor's son being a dragon priest and also having died on the way to Skyrim clearly means the dragon cult started in Atmora.

A thought town guard told me he saw a white strange thing in a cavern, i was there confident thinking it was a frost troll ... i never got out of that cavern! the white ugly fenders and the fucking machine had got me..

if the Thu'um doesn't enough for dragonborn, we have the power of quicksaving

I always just calm all of the horkers, including Lord Tusk…I found a cool way to mess with the necromancers in wolfskull cave by using a staff of either storm atronach or the sanguine rose and causing one of them to appear near the ritual master,,,it breaks the spell they have on the draugr and the draugr begin to attack the necromancers! I have seen and done all of these quests…..so many quests…lol. I am on my 39th game….as for the labyrinthian dragon, I have always gotten 5 dragon scales from it…🥰

The emperors mudcrab which is found by completing the fidhing quest line is tougher

Man the first shot of the werewolf I looked away then back and bout screamed. I didn’t know it was a tail for a sec😭💀

If you wanna do a uno reverse on Arondil, steal the soulgem next to him and his ghost girl will turn on him, seems like justice for the poor girls

Pfff, none of the mudcrabs comes even close to the Emperor crab guardian spirit. That was one of my favs 🤘🤘🤘😁😁😁

Mental after 1000s of hours in this game, there is still things I hadn’t seen. Never saw that giant mud crab before lmao

I've fought 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, so I've still got some work to do!

My favorite part of taking down Arondil was realizing that I could just sneak to the back of his throne room and snatch the soul gem from its place, allowing the ghost lady he'd enslaved to kill him for me.

I don't think you know what 'paedo' means

Old Salty is a reference to the character „Old Salty Crab“ from Sleeping Dogs.

I've seen the forgemaster ,Taran Dreth before the skeletan dragon gathric and potema, but none of the others

"Skyrim boss battles you may have missed... if you never played the game..."

I don’t know why I watch these. I actually expect to learn something new but I never do

0:17 That werewolf tail ain't looking right

I killed the wolf queen my first time using the ritual stone to reanimate the pipe of draugr. It was… quick

You can also fight Durnehviir before doing Dragons Rising dunno about any others.

Lol,i fought this giant crab just today 🤔😆,and i was kinda shocked

Karstaag this dude is kinddda hard to find if ur new in game since there is no quest for it and pretty strong boss too

i don't think i'll get around to killing taron dreth cause that fucker has some insane spawn rates

Well, there is another dragon that you can fight before dragon rising : Duhrnevir.

I’m so happy and proud to say I’ve done all of these 🙌🏻🔥

I think karstaag can kill them all

"with the power of quicksaving " :D yep definetly that one

The guys at Bethesda seem to have something against Dunmers with the name "Dreth"

The surest way to miss those bosses is to kill them with one arrow and not notice.

First list ive seen that didn't have the disappointment of skyrims grim reaper

The way you said skeletal is so wrong...SkelEEEEtall? Bro

Time to change that saying, there's only one thing guaranteed in life

arondil is not so hard to beat , no .. the ghosts ! they are warmachines

Nearby the Guardian Mudcrab, you can see it's corpse.

I absolutely love your videos. Keep up all your great work

I've only been playing for like 6 years and I've seen them all

I didnt know fighting alcoholism is considered a boss battle

I fought sauron once I was in the dwaven city trying to get the elder scroll I turn the corner and saw sauron heading towards loudest I ever screamed playing Skyrim

I just used harmony on the troll so I didn't have to kill it

I absolutely can not believe that Karstaag is not on this list.

Embarrassed to say I missed the first five on the list.

deep inside labrynthian its literally the first room lol

Have encountered all of these bosses multiple times, several of them, in my first every playthrough when the game released

If you have issues with the man who cried wolf go get the ritual stone. Kill the first couple waves, hit your power and you got half the room fighting for you. Gives you time to hide n heal

Man i have fought every single one, i have played way to much skyrim😂 i love your videos tho man. Cant wait for more

Old salty was just drunk when you went up to him, he is known as a violent drunk

Just finished the aetherium quest and the forgemaster while taking forever to drop was fairly easy, with Katria and another companion drawing his attention I barely took damage. Did the wolf queen a bit before that. Gonna have to hunt down the rest of these

Karstaag is easily the hardest boss to come by

I’ve never seen Dragon Priest Gathrick before… that would be a shock!

Fought all of them, nice video though

For Potema, Meridia’s sword helps a lot during the battle, since there’s a chance the enemy you killed explode and set fire to the other. Once killed, said burning enemies will be turned to ashes.

Bro who is Chairdof Sitler on 06:03 lol

What about the dragon in blackreach

I was suprised that instead of the giant mud crab at the end of the fishing quest line was replaced by some wimpy joke mud crab bosses, that crab was badass and the fight was pretty different than others in the game

The way the draugr fell in the beginning cracked me up.

I lost a sword when fighting the Wolf Queen's legions. Never found it after the fight and I think it was the first time I ever got disarmed without getting sent flying from a shout. Good thing I always carry extra weapons.

well I guess ima make a new run....

Can you use calm on old Salty ??
