That’s normal. Meridia’s Beacon spawns in a random boss chest at the start of the game, but at level 12 it relocates to the first boss chest you open after reaching level 12.
@@RandomCBRN This explains why I found it in a fucking Dwemer ruin... ...I HAD to pick it up I thought because when else would I actually see it again. idk
@@Aladayle For future playthroughs, if you go to Meridia's temple after leaving it behind she'll give you a map marker for whatever chest you left it in
As for Azura's star: the black variant should be considered A-tier at least though. The very fact that it's so easy to fill makes it so. Monsters with grand soul are not that ubiquitous. Bandits are though.
@@_Labyrinth_ I don't see the harm in soul trapping vampires. Given the horrors of Cold Harbor I'm probably doing them a favor. And giving Molag Bal the middle finger by stealing souls away from him.
I still don't get why people hate Meridia's quest The place is full of dead billiononaires, you'll be loaded by the end. The mage is challenging and has a dark souls 2nd form. Sword is and looks awesome then Meridia makes you a warrior of Light
I think most people hate how it starts, and for someone who does vampire characters semi-frequently it's always "please go away meridia I'm not doing your quest this run". At least with the other daedric quests of okay quality they aren't going out of their way to announce their presence at level ten every playthrough. It's more "please shut up Meridia" than people actually hating the quest at this point imo. Would be more interesting if instead we had to listen to Dagoths Ur voice at the start of the quest every playthrough, then it'd be a banger
If you're a vampire and you use Dawnbreaker, it damages you too when the random undead exploded as you slash them That's the con basically Unless you absorb magic (Necromage vampire+Atronach stone+Atronach perk) in which case, it's cool
Vampires take damage for dawnbreakers explosion, the final boss is fairly difficult if you're not doing a stealth archer build, the place is honestly a maze in some parts, her dialogue is 20x louder than the game itself. Dawnbreaker looks nice but I end up using silver weapons, less risk to any undead followers.
I wish we had videos like this back when Skyrim released. Could you imagine trying to look up an artifact Tier list and being educated by Lord Dagoth Ur for the very first time? Now that would have been truly a grand and intoxicating prospect.
Dagoth underestimated Volendrung. Actually it is an artifact of dwemer origin. It belonged to the chief of the Rourken clan. He threw the hammer into the sky and it fell far to the west: in Hammerfell, the promised land of his clan. Spellbreaker also belonged to him, the shield helped him defeat Shalidor when he and his clan crossed Skyrim. No one knows how Malacath and Peryite got these artifacts, but it has nothing to do with orc manufacture.
The Oblivion paralyze version really was preferable, it felt more thematic to Malacath because beating a paralyzed target is humiliating or something like that. Also more practically it was just hilarious looking.
@@Suiseisexy In the same way mortals can ascend to godhood by taking the mantle of a god, physical objects created by mortal hands can be mantled by a portion Of a deity's divine power to become an artifact Of such god.
Sanguine Rose is clutch for having a brief tank to take agro. And his voice lines and appearance make him feel like having my own personal Scumdog from GWAR.
Fun fact about the whispering blade, the two argonians who give you the quest with the light house count as friends with you when you fight them for some reason, and the necromancy stone you can find by whiterun lets you revive someone completely for a limited time, friendship meter includded and when killed after that they dont become ash letting you wait and revive them again. Letting you obtain max whispering blade without killing any actual friends
Best way to power up the ebony blade is to grab the stone power of the ritual stone. Unlike regular necromancy spells, it does not destroy the corpse afterwards, and a friend revived is a friend you can betray again and again. No better way to consign J’zargo to an eternity of torment.
The Ebony Blade can be made quicker to upgrade its ability, there's a good handful of NPCs you can befriend who are also targets in the Dark Brotherhood questline. An iron ore here, some chopped wood there, an amulet over here and bam! So many friends to feed to the Ebony Blade.
I'm shocked that you didn't include the Black Star and put it in S tier, not because the black soul gem upgrade is all that useful, but I would have thought desecrating an artifact of Azura would be right up your alley, Lord Dagoth.
Sanguine’s Rose is a must, if you are playing a robe mage. You get a tanky boi from Oblivion that also doubles as a useful damage sponge to keep your follower alive. Great artifact
Spellbreaker refreshes the ward every second, when combined with anything that makes your ward absorb magic you gain an indestructible ward, also it blocks dragon breath, best shield in the game
Or just enchant a gear with Fortify Smithing (up to 50.000% should do it, careful how you resto loop) Then upgrade the swords you want and boom they have permanent busted damage. No need for Fortify Damage enchant
@@keifujitora6587 Yep but I don't want to get anymore busted than 3k damage with melee weapons. My character is a mage and the insane damage I'm getting with 8k% fortify destruction pots is busted enough even on Legendary
Sanguine rose is being underrated. You can get it VERY early and it allows to conjure an Expert level spell for free, multiple times. That is op in my book. Becomes useless in late game unless you don't spec into magic. Then it stays relevant.
The wabbajack is really good for those draugr death overlords that show up out of nowhere form time to time and reck your shit at the end of a dungeon. It takes just about the same amount to time to kill any given enemy so it's not great for general combat, but if something shows up that's too strong for you to deal with you can just hit it with the wabbakack over and over again until it turns into a wheel of cheese
Mehrunes Razor is great, S tier for me The Ebony Blade as well, it swings faster than other 2handed swords Coupled with Ebony Mail and Ebony Plate Armor set you can be the next Edgy Swordsman Protagonist of Darkness, you can lose your eye and watch your significant other getting violated
@maomaomi543 perfect for me since I prefer light armor With resto loop boosted smithing enchantment on a gear you can upgrade light armor to surpass heavy armor, making heavy armor useless
@beatemeyer1242 with fortify HP and fortify stamina regen enchanted necklace (resto loop boosted past 5000%) and 5 Amulets of Talos (shouts cooldown becomes 0) Who cares if you're a vampire? Fire does nothing anymore
Best part of ring of nimera? Not only is 50 extra health more than what you can make as an enchanter you can wear the ring eat a corpse and take the ring off and still get the max health buff as you swap it out for another health boosting ring. Perfect for tanks
3:57 joke's on you. I got got to Markarth by getting into a drinking contest with a cheerful breton fellow in Windhelm, passed out, and woke up in Markarth's temple of Dibella.
honestly who doesn't get werewolf if only for the resistance to disease as a benefit sure the whole no restful sleep thing stinks but id rather that then constantly lugging around ingredients, potions to cure disease, or hit the nearest town to pray at a shrine.
Ehhhh... Skeleton Key is fine and all... except that one of the Capstone perks for lockpicking does the same thing, Lockpicking is one of those skills that are very easy to level without really trying, and the game buries you in lockpicks anyway. Unless you are really bad at the lock picking minigame, I'd honestly consider Skeleton Key D tier.
no offense to our lord dagoth but putting sanguine rose in C tier is crazy to me. Being able to summon a dremora lord whenever you want has always come in clutch for me especially if im playing a warrior build who cant conjure, along with having one of the best quests in the game its an easy S tier for me. Also, mask of clauvicus vile in F tier seems pretty harsh as well. The boost to speechcraft plus the 20% better prices is super useful and i always find myself carrying it in every playthrough.
Ikr having a summon that wears daedric armor and wields an enchanted daedric great sword at level 15 is totally awesome especially having Lydia or Jordis as a follower and yourself as another tank.
I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who likes the Dawnbreaker and its quest. I mean, yeah, after the 3rd or 4th time, you may want to get a mod to change her voice, but otherwise I love the weapon and the dungeon wasn't bad as far as basic Skyrim dungeons go. Plus the first time I got it was just as I was starting Dawnguard, so it worked out perfectly
7:04 considering that you can get 2 max level demoras with that conjuration perk (a level higher than a dremora lord) the sanguine rose if invested in can be quite amazing for conjurers
Was about to go on a rant how you would dare place Azura's star so low, because I somehow didn't realize you were talking about the Skyrim artifacts and not the Morrowind ones. I never even got Azura's star in Skyrim, Black Star always, but in Morrowind Azura's star is SSS tier best artifact by far, like it's not even a competition.
Dagoth Ur (The God), I am giving thanks that you achieved chim and entered our realm to give us these holy sermons. Truly, this pays homage to the sixth house and tribe unmourned.
I know Dagoth-Ur is a Demigod and all but the usefulness of the Skeleton Key goes away once you unlock the "Unbreakable" Feat in Lockpicking. This, to me, lowers the Skeleton Key down to A Tier.
@@yea754 Literally everyone who doesn't want to leave loot behind? Are you just abandoning all the locked doors and chests or something? Or deciding that backtracking through a dungeon five times to gather a bunch of miscellaneous keys is better than taking ten seconds to complete a very easy minigame?
I really expected Namiras Ring to be a F or D tier for his list. Not many people use it, and the quest is obscure. Personally, I use it rarely in any of my builds...only really enjoying the lore behind it. Shocked and kinda proud that it found itself so high up.
Ok, Ok, HOLD UP! How the hell did you get such an EXCELLENT voice for Dagoth Ur!?!? Sounds like the original voice actor! I've watched a lot of lore videos, but that voice is how this one stood out. How you DO this?
Honestly, most of us probably just found Erandur a lot more fascinating than the Skull of Corruption, so betraying him for the item isn’t something a lot of us want to do. I myself used an exploit to get both the Savior’s hide and the Ring of Hircine just so that I could get Oblivion Walker without betraying Erandur.
"Treat then like lab rats." . . .given what has been hinted in the game and what players have theorized. . .that's probably not the wisest thing to say out loud. . .

Sanguines rose doesnt just summon deadra, it summons the strongest daedra in the game. The Dremora Valkynaz is even stronger than the Dremora Lord, and it works with the double conjuration perk.

Witchever lanterns have the strongest structural design after me sledge hammering them will be my design for buildings its gotta be able to support its own weight plus some so a wooden mallet would be the best testing tool
Excellent videos, I have now watched so many today that I changed my plans. I was going to play some Oblivion, but after watching all this. I'm going with Morrowind instead.
Lord Dagoth is correct in the fact the Rueful Axe not being an artifact cause the achievement for collecting them all doesn’t count it as such. But in that respect, Lord Dagoth would need to rate Auriel’s Bow on this list too
Okay, so the thing that a lot of people don't realize about Volendrung is that it has a quicker swing speed than standard Warhammers, and with high damage it absolutley will out-dps the other late game warhammers with infinite power attacks.
Y’all are gonna hate me for this, but I honestly got more use out of the masque than I did barbus. An immortal dog with a New York accent is cool, but he gets in the way so often that it makes it hard to have him in your party. I’ve gotten so many great deals with the masque and got tons of money quick so I could afford all the houses with the masque.
Imma be honest, Sanguine’s Rose is S tier imo because the daedra it summons is op as fuck through the whole game and is a problem ender in 90% of battles. At the VERY LEAST it’s the perfect distraction for enemies while you gain the advantage by bludgeoning them from behind as their busy dealing with the screaming claymore wielding demon in their face.
Technically, the Sanguine Rose DOES have potential to be pretty good, because it conjures a dremora lord, an expert level conjuration summon. might come in handy, but I will be sure to honor the sixth house and tribe unmourned by saying that i certainly agree that the rueful axe is not an artifact, its a random axe with a stamina enchantment on it, who even cares? Besides, the only way you can keep it is by killing Barbas which does NOT honor the sixth house and tribe unmourned.
Honestly, the Skeleton Key is absolutely pointless in the late game since you can unlock the Unbreakable perk in Lockpicking that makes all picks, well, unbreakable, meaning the Skeleton Key becomes no different than the average pick.
Personally, I'm not huge on Dawnbreaker. My gripe is the fixed enchantment. The fear effect it cause is cool but I'm more use to putting a stronger fire enchantment on silver swords then putting that same enchantment on a sword equally as strong as Dawnbreaker. Nowadays, it's more of a decorative item in my homes.
Ring of Namira is the best, because Namira is the best! Azura is C tier, cuz she is godness of gaslighting. She promises so much to mortals and gives nothing. Namira at least gives much, but if you are more loyal, she will make you even stronger.
I resent this unfair and shotsighted judgement. Azura's Star is obviously underappreciated here. Azura's Star is the only Soul Gem big enough to contain the souls of Almalexia and Vivec. Without Azura's Star, you will never be able to stuff Almalexia in a soul gem, and then bury that soul gem in the biggest waste pit of Sadrith Mora's slave pens.
