Can You Beat Skyrim With Only Fishing Loot? 

You should've fished in Blackreach, it gives dwarven equipment at all levels.

The bandit fell to the ground, looking up at the man before him, who had only moments ago slaughtered his allies. As the man raised his hammer, the bandit cried out, asking one final question; “Who the hell are you?” The man simply replied “it’s a fine day for fishin” before swinging the hammer down, and moving on.

Can you imagine starving and trying to catch fish to feed yourself and you catch a Nord War Axe instead?

give a man a fish and he will eat for a day teach a man to fish and he will have an entire armory

I'd say in a challenge like this in the future, you should be allowed to sell stuff and use the gold ONLY for, say, salt to allow you to cook the fish, just as an anti-frustration thing since the game is obtuse as shit about it.

the elder scrolls has a hidden weapon called "sonic emitter" to get that weapon you just need to beat falllout new vegas with the old world blues sonic emitter.

If you're making the Skyrim Cesar Milan run, you could play as a Breton since they start with the Familiar spell, which is kind of a dog

as you said, a powers only run could allow for some fun things like how with the mzulft helmet or whatever had the steam thing, it was in the powers section you could embrace that idea, or just go balls to the wall werewolf/vampire lord different gear items that give powers, or some powers you learn, would be INFINITELY better to watch than werewolf/vampire lord only

I wish fishing irl was as useful as it is in video games

I didn't know giants could forgive you for sheathing your weapon. I like how willing giants in skyrim are to not kill people if they don't have to.

I do wonder if the run would've been a tad easier and maybe more interesting (not that it wasn't moderately interesting) had Nerbit done the fishing questline. You can get a fishing rod that gives you better luck with non-fish loot from fishing.

I thought I was going crazy having over 1000 hours in Skyrim, never knowing there was fishing. It puts me at peace knowing it was a relatively new addition.

"In the end we are all just someone else's experience points waiting to be harvested" - Nerbit 2022

local man with a lizard soul goes on a fishing trip.

Here is an idea for a playthough called the Will of Sovngarde your only aloud to use ancient nordic items , dragon shouts and you have to be a Nord

"Um... hi? Do you... need help?" How I picture myself responding if I were an NPC encountering one of these "______ using only _____" playthrough PC's. You know, a man wearing nothing but a rusty helmet and soggy boots runs into town smelling overwhelmingly of fish, and you just have to pretend it's all normal.

Not cursed Big the Cat Run. Blessed Big the Cat Run.

I've recently discovered your videos and have been binge watching all of them! They're all awesome 👌

Can’t wait for the sequel Can you Beat Skyrim with Only Fishing Items, as Abraham Lincoln? :)

Ah yes; the highly anticipated sequel to "Can you beat Skyrim as Big the Cat". Can't wait to watch this one~

I have a really interesting concept for a challenge. "Can you beat Fallout 4 in denial" You are in denial that the bombs dropped, and are pretending like everything is just normal. You can only get items through legal trading and can only use pre war money to aquire items. You're allowed to use any items that are in your house, and can only use items that an average joe can get ahold of, like 10mm Pistols, revolvers, or even a double barrel, but no weapons that cross over the line of realisticly aquiring them

You know these runs get fishy at times. Anyways good video as always

I love that this is a fishing run and there's a Runescape reference, just as I finish obtaining 99 fishing in Runescape while watching this video. Keep up the good work!

Can you beat Oblivion with only the Wabajack and or only Shivering isle quest gifts( Wabajack included).

Finally a Nerdbit upload that isn't right before work! No time crunch!

Kinda sad he never got any of the magic rings. Also for the courier video, you should play as a high elf. Skyrim determines move speed based off how tall someone or something is, and the high elves are the tallest therefore they are the fastest. It’s not much but it’s helpful.

So Nerbit, we gonna get a "can you reach 99 cooking skill in RuneScape through only fish?" Video soon?

I haven’t played Skyrim in like 8 years but I had no idea you could actually fish. Dope idea for a video

Nerbit you know why I'm here. Week 32 of asking: Can you beat Skyrim as Cesar Millan?

heres a challenge idea which is actually pretty fun, doing it myself; can you beat skyrim or oblivion with only daedric artifacts? rules are pretty simple, attacking can only be done with daedric artifacts, only armor is the saviors hide and ebony mail later on. ideally you should have all daedric quests complete by the time you off alduin

You should have fished for the unique rings. The warlock ring is really good and would have helped a lot.

I've been waiting for this for a great time, the time is now arisen. Now I can see if you did it better than I did and what I can improve upon on my next only fishing loot run.

Okay but hear me out: skyrim but your only way of killing is with poisons. Either reverse-pickpocket poisons into an enemy's inventory, or use a poisoned dagger (steel dagger ONLY) if you can't pickpocket. any poisons are fair game

Ah yes, glorious. Local fisherman decides to fight the end and win. Good show! As is tradition with a new Nerbit video, a new challenge! Can you beat Skyrim or Oblivion as Iron Man? Iron armor only, and things upgraded by Iron. Banded Iron armor/plate iron is fine. Can only use blaster spells, like flames, shock, and the chargeable variants, and anything explosive. If you have followers, they must follow this rule as well, though they can use iron weapons, though since there's no iron now that I'm aware of, instead they can use a longbow, the ones you get early game before the hunting bow

Over 100 hours in, never knew you could fish in the game, given it was over a decade ago when it came out, but still! I learned so much, love your various series btw, makes me wanna go back to games like thesd

Decent run & analysis video! Thanks for uploading! Personally, I expected this to be more about what parts are the hardest; I typically assume you can beat Skyrim as long as you have ANY damage source & maybe some skill.

If you do all the fishing related quests, you can actually get unique rings and amulets, and I think some weapons too, all fished out of locations. They're pretty good

The one guy to actually use fishing

I decided to do this for myself since it honestly sounded pretty interesting. Some tips in case anyone else wants to: - Most fishing spots have the same junk pool where they'll either give you leveled equipment or Ancient Nord weapons. Blackreach, Deepfolk Crossing, Bronzewater Cave, and Markarth instead give you Dwarven weapons and armor at any level as well as scrap you can smelt down for upgrades. You are literally not getting better than this until you reach the mid-20s in level. - You can't get staves, spell books, soul gems, chest armor, gauntlets, or shields. Bows and arrows are possible but you can only get single arrows at a time with roughly the same chance as any weapon. I fished for literal hours and never got more than 4. So that means building around either one or two handed weapons. Dual wielding one handed weapons gives you the best DPS, but two handed weapons gives you some defensive capabilities and has synergy with some of the other things you can get. - If possible you should do the fishing quests. The ones for Swims-In-Deep-Water are completely viable but only really gets you the Argonian Rod and the Lucky Fishing Hat. Of the two the hat is much better, but more on that later. Viriya's quests can get you the Alik'r Rod, Warlock Ring and Dwarven Rod, but require you to bend or break the rules of the run. Clear-Headed is a bit of a bend but I think is acceptable since the potion you deliver is made from a fish you caught. But completing The Ultimate Feast requires a lot of ingredients you can't fish up. And without that you can't get the Dwarven Rod to make fishing for good equipment faster. - There's a total of 6 unique rings you can fish up. One from a quest and 5 more rarely anywhere else. The Warlock Ring is the best, not only for the ward but because it increases health regen to the point where you can just hide in a corner as a viable means of healing. Phynaster and Denstagmer's Rings give you absolutely vital resistances. The Ring of the Wind makes getting around less tedious. The Ring of Kynareth makes it so you don't have to steal the Lucky Hat. And the Mentor's Ring is completely useless since you can't use magic. You can also get random enchanted rings, but I never got anything very useful. - Large fish are your main but lousy source of healing. Even with the Argonian Rod you'll always have more than you want but less than you need. - Small fish are alchemy ingredients, but most of them only give you niche or useless effects. There are 3 that are actually useful. Angler Larvae + Juvenile Mudcrab makes a potion that boosts two handed damage and regenerates stamina. Juvenile Mudcrab + Spadefish cures disease which helps a lot if like me you catch Rockjoint early on. And Spadefish have Restore Health as their first effect so you can eat them for a whopping 5 health each. Spadefish are common in streams when it's raining (which is what the hat's for) and angler larvae and mudcrabs are pretty common in and frigid waters.

Thank you for making these videos, it's so interesting to watch

Video idea: can you beat **** with only companion items (some companions when you enter their inventory have weapons, armor, etc), of course you can’t use the companions in battle because that would be another companions run. I believe the best game to do this is fallout 4 but It kind of works for every game :)

How about: Can you beat X only opening 5 containers? Throughout the whole game, you can only loot five boxes/corpses and use whatever items are found. In regards to anything plot in a chest/on a body, as long as you only take the quest item and not use it, if it’s a usable item, you’re in the clear. If anyone can come up with anything to add on or change, feel free!

Very entertaining and well made video, keep it up man!

Another excellent video! And another chance to ask for: Can you beat Skyrim as Ironman/Tony Stark? Iron armour/weapons with no magic.

Can you beat Fallout New Vegas with only a big iron on your hip?. Beat fallout new Vegas with a 357 magnum and you can only shoot from the hip.

There's actually a ton more loot you can get through fishing with a better rod. I know there's a lot of good magic rings you can get for example. Either way that was an interesting run to watch.

Hearing the music in the background when you picked up the fishing rod was so nostalgic man, really hit me hard

Oh I've been waiting for this since the Big the Cat video mate and by god you delivered!

Video 3 of asking for a Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Hank Hill?

Can you beat fallout new Vegas as heavy from tf2

I'd love to see you beat Fallout 4 using only the Pain Train perk

Chrissie mentioned it for blackreach, but. The fishing spot inside the walls of Markarth by the smelter can net you all dwarven armor and weapons, both unenchanted and enchanted, dwarven scrap for bars to temper them, and a ring that increases your movement speed. You'd do well to get full dwarven and a two handed weapon then actually do the fishing quests, you can fish up a ring that makes a ward when you block and increases your health regeneration during one of the fishing bounties in Morthal. You can get pretty OP just fishing

Wish you could slap people with the Fish like Agent 47.

Can you make Ringo not be attacked by anyone and not attack anyone with console commands? If so, then can you beat Fallout New Vegas while being chased by Private Kawolski, Malcolm Homes, Ringo and Fisto?

I feel like attacking someone in the process of mourning the death of their pet, pretending to give up, and then proceeding to attack them again automatically earns someone a special seat in hell. Or, I guess "Oblivion" or whatever.

I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE!! Even wanted to try it myself!

I've been waiting for this And I literally mean that

The perfect name for this run!

Finally! I’ve been waiting for this run for years

Oh yeah, the fishing items only run is here! Safe to say this will be interesting, here's hoping you can beat the game! This will be great, thank you for the great videos Nerbit! (Also something something can you beat Skyrim with only weaponized junk) Also according to the wiki, you could of fished up some better armor and weapons so there's that.

can you beat skyrim as link form the legend of zelda series

Man I've been waiting for this challenge

One thing I think is absolutely funny when dealing with the Alakir Warriors harassing the woman is you can get a stealth kill on one of them with something like a war hammer or whatnot...something that would presumably be pretty noisy, and yet the other warrior will look down at his dead buddy and be like "I'm gonna find who ever did this." before just going on about his day, none-the-wiser that you did it.

This is one of the highlights of my week

I’m surprised you didn’t use the dwarven fishing rod which increases the chance to get more “junk” items so you could get better items to use

I am super intrigued by the can you beat skyrim while being chased by the courier run. Hopefully you get around doing it some time :)

I'm surprised you didn't actually do the fishing quests, though. - You're sent to catch different varieties of fish, and receive different kinds of loot from it. - When I saw the title of the video my first thought was you were gonna rush for the vampire's ring and beat the whole game with vampiric drain or something. Not to mention how fitting the choice of race since most of the loot from high end fishing is old Morrowind treasures.

how is it that out of the 8 years i've been playing Skyrim i just now found out that you can fish in the game.

Idea: Can you beat New Vegas as Gordon Ramsay? Conditions would be: -Wear only gear related to being a chef/cooking (obviously) -One tag skill must be survival, and before the end of the game survival must be at 100 (Gordon appreciates good food and thus benefits from it, his long and famous career means this stat is maxed) -Using only kitchen knives or fists for combat, (since you use both your bare hands and knives for cooking) -Can only heal by eating food you made yourself at a campfire, raw ingredients that you foraged or purchased from vendors, or the cannibal perk (Since he hates most other people's food, would never eat grabage like Cram, but had a show at one point where he went around the world trying exotic/rare foods like a fresh, beating snake heart in Asia) -Any insulting or provoking dialogue option must be chosen except when talking to children (we all know the first part, but he's actually nice to the contestants in the MasterChef kids show) -You must complete any quests that has to do with food or helping a place that primarily serves food or alcohol - for example helping Goodsprings because the powder gangers instigate the problem in the saloon, the quests for the Atomic Wrangler, and the mess hall supply issues at Camp McCarran (Because Gordon had shows like Kitchen Nightmares where he tries to save restaurants in trouble) -You must have at least 100k caps before the end of the game, gambling and selling loot is allowed to reach this mark (because Gordon is insanely rich and who knows how he really makes or spends his money) -You must get at least 1 implant from the New Vegas Clinic (since he's obviously gotten some plastic surgery done)

We've had skyrim with the fishing rod and skyrim with fishing loot, it's only a matter of time until he beats skyrim AS a fish.

So I slowed down the video to .75 at the end where you say your outro, and I have never been more entertained. 😂😂

I was thinking of doing this very same run. My plan was to get the Dwarven Fishing Rod and hang out at Bronze Water Cave for some easy Dwarven gear.

Love the vids 👍

Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as Heavy Weapons Guy? Nine endurance because it gives you "Bulletproof". You can get Miniguns, Hunting Shotguns, Combat Knife, The Nuka-Breaker, Brass Knuckles, and boxing gloves. Edit: any variant of the items listed like uniques makes sense for TF2 standards.

Nerbit made the courier remark fully knowing that he’d now be asked a million times to do it.

Never thought I’d be simping for a half naked muscular dark elf

When you said "she became another notch on my hammer" I could hear "The notches on his mallet numbered one to nineteen more, one to nineteen more." Edit- Also do you think you'll ever try and Elder Scrolls online challenge as it's now in existence

YES, iv been waiting for this video since the fishing rod one

being at 1 hp, nothing even in the bar, and a level up is just coincidentally there. fate!

12:00 noooooo! The weeping giant… or mourning giant, probably mourning.

Can you beat Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver as Abe Lincoln? You only use the starter you get as it is released from its Pokeball and will walk freely behind you and not trapped in a slave ball. You can choose any starter but only use that starter as you are not allowed to capture or enslave any others. Then you set about slapping around all the slave driving Pokemon trainers in the game and beat the ultimate foe General Red E. Lee

Can you beat Fallout 4 with only the Broadsider? I imagine getting it would be difficult, but getting ammo for it could be an issue too

The pain you must be in making these videos 😂 ( appreciate the content bro keep it up! )

Man, i recall when I first watched your skyrim no skill increases. Still just as funny and worth it.

Idea: Can you beat fallout 4 as the lone wanderer You would have to only use weapons that are in fallout 3 (hunting rifle, 10mm pistol, laser rifle, ext.) your only armor can be the vault jumpsuit, leather chest, right arm, left leg, and metal left arm (trying to recreate the armored vault suit) you can only use power armor in the endgame, you have to side with the BoS and can only use dogmeat as your companion, and you can only take perks that are in fallout 3

Challenge Idea: Finish the game using only items looted from dragon bellies. Since dragons sometimes have equipment in their loot.

gotta say for the 'beat skyrim while chased by the courier' run... you gotta smack in a single mod to replace the courier with a giant frostbite spider... although i think that would lead to similar stuff as we get in fo4 with the children of atom... hm, come to think of it... absolutely worth it.

this might motivate me to do a full skyrim play through again.

Next time beat fallout new vegas as Ulysses

What’s next can you beat Skyrim with only potions?

Another banger video. I was thinking of requesting a Riekling Spears only run as a spiritual successor to the New Vegas Throwing Spears Only run, but then I remembered they're used as arrows, and that makes me sad.

“Once I am free from the fun dungeon.” 😂

Can you beat Fallout New Vegas with only a Flare Gun?

Hold on. I'll let it slide if you buy some salt piles. Either way good job Nerbit.

Ohhhh man, I havent seen the video, but I can only imagine yhe sheer pain

"Only Catching useless items like buckets-" *MittenSquad had entered the chat*

Can you beat Fallout 4 as Will Smith? Fists as weapons and Fancy Tuxedo as apparel

But can you beat skyrim without fishing?

That Runescape reference made my day, thank you sir.

10:39 it’s because she (probably) has more protection, making her harder to kill and because she was facing directly at her after the animation.
