Well Parthunax I made it. Despite your directions. The twitter I forget to use: / nerbit_13098 ko-fi.com/nerbit #SkyrimAnniversary #Challenge #Gaming Music:www.purple-planet.com/
@@ethanwillard6080 i always did minimal armor and weapons, i just used magic and bound weapons in the embassy so i could loot and sell after. Added note i was expecting someone to say *hands over 300* skooma
Fun fact: Apparently the steam attack scales with Destruction perks. Probably because its a power rather than an innate trait of the weapon, like other enchantments.
@@electrobrotm217 thanks, so destruction perks (intense flames) and which other ones ? Increase fear illusion perk ? I heard it works too on flame spells. Fire enchanting ?
AFAIK, due to the unusual nature of the Steam Breath attack, just Destruction fire perks. It isn’t a ‘standard’ enchantment, so most of those perks would do jack, and it isn’t an illusion spell so illusion perks would do jack.
Wouldn't that just be raise zombie on everything because I love that idea; I've gone for a necromancer before as I saw you could summon skeletons with bones in addition to a zombie;and just offense Magick'd while my undead held them at range
Considering the dwarven helmet actually has a mouth, I like to think Steamed literally just chugs 10 bowls of soup down through his helmet before the encounter.
Honestly that works perfectly for how the increased stamina regen from the soup could realistically increase steam production - chugging ten bowls of piping hot soup would probably make anyone start vomiting steam, helmet or no...
This is like something Sheogorath would do for fun. Just running across Skyrim shooting steam at people and chugging hundreds of bowls of vegetable soup
14:00 there’s actually really interesting lore for this. One of the peasants in the flagon can be pickpocketed revealing that he has a letter on him stating he’s a spy for the thalmor. Inside the embassy you can hear him demanding a raise with one of the elves and if he makes it out alive than during the search for esbern when attacked by thalmor agents he was solely responsible as he ever heard your searching for him. If you kill him early I’m pretty sure the thalmor never appear
@@ladyakkyn you know, I just fast travel to the thieves guild entrance because I'm always a member, I didn't realize that. Next playthrough I'll have to try that
It always bugged me that, by the time you'd typically find this helmet it's fairly useless for most players, it's such a cool unique item it's just hidden behind a lot of hoops unless you go straight for it
@@imakedamoney420smokeweed no you just make awful unoriginal bigoted comments directed toward complete strangers for no parficular reason what a sad, shameful excuse of a person you are
Thinking about the lore, this armour/weapon is probably perfect for wood elves. Due to them being cannibals, they can pre-cook enemies on the battlefield. AND due to living in Valenwood's forests, they have to be careful using fire to cook, so steaming everything would probably be a godsend.
@@Maniacman2030 The latter, I'm pretty sure. They eat everyone they kill. edit: Upon reflection and my understanding, it's a yes/no. They are religiously required to be cannibalistic if they kill a man/mer, but at the same time the act itself is treated with little reverence.
The genuine kindness behind him saying "feel free to disagree, don't worry, we'll still be friends" made me so fucking happy for some reason. I don't disagree though, you go ahead and use that longbow you funky little Irishman
Sorry but i kinda need to say this. Northern Irish is diffrent from Ireland so technically speaking northern Irishman. Again sorry not to be that guy but it is my country and everyone always misnames it. Thanks
@@mowermen1762 huh, I didn't even think about that. It'd be tricky, and I wonder if it's one of those things that can only be triggered by the player. Maybe worth a try though
I can't see anyone using the stronger potions/enchantments exploit on this, no sir, not one bit. For anyone seeing this that is unfamiliar, it involves fortify restoration potions and fortify alchemy enchantments feeding into each other, it ends with having overpowered potions (like 256,422% improvement) to improve a desired skill or effect. When done right you can stock yourself with these op potions and create something stupid like turning the fork and knife into 1 hit kill weapons or become one punch man with the fortify unarmed enchantment.
I'd love to see Skyrim beat using only Arniel's convection. I'm not sure it would be possible to actually get the spell without attacking, but I think it would be a cool challenge.
It is not possible without console comands/modding it in early as you have to become leader of the mages guild witch means beating arcano in 1 on1 combat while heeding the staff to drain the eye
@@liquidsleepgames3661 It was the people running them who were corrupted, doing shock, lobotomies, experimenting on and drilling into people's heads in some weird twisted version of science. Now we have "Mental Health Facilities" that just medicate and forget. Plus, there are people who exist in the world, currently running things into the ground, that seriously need to be placed in a (better regulated and staffed) asylum.
Idea: can you beat skyrim as the loading screen? Theres always a loading screen with each race with armor and weapons High elves have thalmor robes and a daedric sword and a shock spell Nords have steel plate and a steel greatsword Khajit have thieves guild armor and ebony daggers Wood elves have leather armor and the frickin nightingale bow Argonians have.. tankards and chef tunics Redguard have hammerfall garb and a scimtar Dark elves have dark brotherhood armor and two daedric daggers Breton has novice robes and an illusion staff Orcs have two orcish war axes and fur armor Imperials have imperial heavy armor and shields I think thats all of them..
With mods you can add so many more things to do, places to go, cool items to find and npcs to talk to. A lot of the time, I can never decide what to get. Most of the time it's just quality of life stuff.
I had tried this one early on around 2016. I wasn't as hardlined on making builds and challenges at that age so I gave it up but it honestly felt quite powerful.
You can actually get a free horse if you help Shadr the stablehand in Riften get out of his debt with Saphire. It's a really easy miscellaneous quest that takes about a minute and can save you that 1000 gold you spent on buying a horse. After reporting back to Shadr about how you got him off his debt, you are classified as his friend and you can go and take one of the horses in the Riften stables for free. It even spawns in at places you fast travel to.
After a quick bit of research some ways to make this easier would be; 1) Fortify Destruction potions, because the destruction potions don't do anything to casting costs but instead increase the damage. And the Breath of Nchuak is affected by you destruction. This also means getting the Augmented Flames Perks would help your damage as well. 2) Using the Respite Perk from Restoration would give you a quick method of healing up your stamina as well as your health 3) To get ridiculous use the vampirism and necromage combo to enhance the breath power a decent bit
I remember I once tried to play a sort of "Stamina Mage" by using this, the Dawnguard Rune Hammer, and the Dawnguard Rune Shield to produce various magical effects with Stamina instead of Magicka. While I did get all the items, they weren't really useful enough to rely on all the time, and I ended up mostly just playing as a regular two handed fighter. But it was worth a fun idea while it lasted.
For anyone wanting to try this for themselves: Fortify Destruction Potions affect the Breath of Nchuak. The most plentiful ingredients for fortify destruction are Nightshade and Glowing Mushroom (DO NOT mix Nightshade and Ectoplasm, the result will have a weaker effect.) Comberry and Daedra Venin will produce even more powerful potions, but those ingredients are only available through the Khajiit Caravans.
Interesting point. I was inclined to call it invalid because no means no. But that makes sense from a technicality perspective. But if this was legit, then why not just command console every item in question for each run at the beginning of each test? Because it's just to see if completion is physically POSSIBLE, not lore-friendly canon possible?
I really enjoy these runs! I have always wanted to do runs like this but doing tutorials repeatedly just takes my soul out of me. Thank you for making so much enjoyable content. There is not many RU-vid videos that my dad and my fiancé both enjoy with me but you manage to do that so thank you:))) I also appreciate how you take your challenge seriously I think I’ve heard you say to comment if we think the run is invalid which just makes me feel like you genuinely care about completely your goal and pleasing your viewers. Please keep making great content!!!
I know it’s obviously too late to help, but since the helmet itself provides a stamina enchantment, it can provide infinite stamina from unequiping and re-equipping whenever you run out
@@Nerbit13098 You create such great content, the quality is always top notch and you can tell you put your heart into all your videos and aren't just pumping out videos like so many awful creators.
skyrim is probably the game i have the most hours in, i have almost gotten the platinum for it twice, yet i did not know about this helm. i checked the wiki and i have been in the ruins, i have been in the room with this helm and just not sensed it at all. the more you know
4:10 "If you can read and understand basic addition you should be fine." This gives me PTSD flashbacks to the MATN playthrough where he did not understand this puzzle at all because of his -1 perception. That was just painful.
The wine items are also very useful for stamina restoration. Just having a few mead/wine bottles on you can get upwards of 1000 stamina for around 30 weight edit: investing in Restoration is a good idea; there's this one perk that makes heal spells restore stamina as well
Tried this, got some tips for others. Stamina is key but leveling up is tedious. The skills I focused on were enchanting, sneak, and heavy armor. I would disenchant anything I could, sneak until I blasted my steam, then got hit during combat. Also if anything was using frost damage I would have to run away and use tedious sneak strats. Because my health was always low I would usually try to run away from any dragons that I came across if I could as I couldn't get any xp from it. Anyways I made it to the council meeting between the greybeards and the civil war but then nobody was taking their seats and they killed me when I tried nudging them closer to their seats... I decided to call it quits after another couple of hours of trying and searching online. It's the first challenge I tried to do and though it's tedious as hell I kind of enjoyed it.
I love how these kind if videos show in how many ways you can tackle problems in this game, I don’t know any other game where the key to defeating dragons is being able to make baller tomato soup
I'm currently very sick, so thank you for the distraction! I actually never knew that this helmet existed...Also I can very much appreciate the steamed hams and FOXDIE jokes.
Just for reference- Steam is technically considered a fire spell of some kind just reskinned to be steam instead, Centurions are immune to fire which is why steam does nothing to them.
Can you beat Fallout NV as the biggest boomer? Rules: 1) Make a old looking character 2) Only allowed to use the Big Boomer Shotgun 3) Kill any old NPC, for you are the only boomer 4) The Boomers (the faction) must all die
If you're really into that masochism thing, I think the telekinesis spell does a little bit of damage when you throw junk at NPCs. Try beating Skyrim with that.
I had no idea this even existed, it's so crazy how I still have so much to explore in Skyrim, can't wait to begin my new playthrough next month with survival mode!
I have watched almost all of the Skyrim videos, and I've learned to respect that you mention Malborn's death every time. He's not a detail to ignore compared to all the other details that do.
Here's something that would've drastically helped with the run: the Restoration skill tree. There's a certain restoration skill called "Respite" which restores both health AND stamina when using a healing spell.
You know, you never needed vegetable soup, restoration (For stamina) or potions. If you had favourited the helmet and put it on a keybinding you could have infinite stamina. This is why this helmet is underrated. You don't have to put a single point in stamina as long as you have this one helmet and if you have it you get a steam power that for the most part sucks ass unless you're in survival and hunting rabbits. To be honest, Rahgot's mask could be better, but Mzund's mask prevails in practicality where it can be worn with dwarven armor, gives you power and is easier to obtain. So ye, this run could have been a lot easier if he had just spammed 1 on his' keybindings and unequipped and equipped his' helmet. I give this video a rating A for effort. But F for foolness. Poor Nerbit, all you had to do was follo- I mean favourite the helmet.
I just laughed harder than I have in months over the “no, we’re having steamAUFFFHHHHHH” bit. Giggled loudly and uncontrollably for 20 minutes while my poor girlfriend was trying to sleep. Thumbs up and subscribed just for that
