Would be cool if a mod is made where it becomes an actual college and and get new "students" every month or whatever when u become archmage and you could decide what schools or field of study youd want the college specialize in and decide which students show the best promise in what school... send them out in missions for Ingredients, magic items ect ect. Thatd be a hella cool immersive mod
@@patrickmcglonejr8163 If you don't mind older games, the wizard hideout in baldurs gate 2 does a very similar system. After completing a certain quest that's only available to the mage starting class, you get a few apprentices to train under you. Theres a few miniquests where you can teach them to create basic magic items, create spell scrolls, and create stronger items. At each miniquest, if you tell your students to make something outside your abilities, you get a better reward, but a student is killed by a magic backfire. After the three quests, you get exp if all three apprentices survived.
Wait if you resurrect bodies are you technically a necromancer, I think I am technically a necromancer. I worship Boethiah and Hermaeus mora and I I resurrect bodies
1. Nazeem 2. Braith 3. the bandit who tries to get you to pay a toll 4. that one slaughterfish who keeps you in combat despite being 50 km away 5. the bandit who dies from the trap in bleakfalls barrow
@@arcaneusumbra1539 I always kill them, I don't really care about the speech check. Besides, so what if I'm a milk drinker? I'm a khajiit and liquid calcium is good for *_b o n e s_*
That Hagraven whose tower you get back for her by killing her sister is pretty nice. Even though she goes on about collecting eyes and leering at you...
This I hated with a passion because I was very low on health potions at that moment, and I was seriously not prepared for a fight against any dragon, much less two of those F.....
"the skeleton dragon, is in deed the only dovah in the game, that can be faced off against before the dragonborn completes the quest dragon rising" *Sad Durnehviir Noises*
"Dovahkin! I have eaten the souls of countless mortals! If I defeat you, then this world is powerless to stop me!" *High Speechcraft* "Alduin, would you please stop trying to destroy the world?" ".....Sigh, okay I'll stop."
haha, now you see how we got in this situation. Alduin exists to break the world, talking him into stopping is WHY Skyrim happens... Talking Alduin into not eating the world leads to Alduin wanting to RULE the world, and is why you have to fight him....
Honestly it’s supposed to be an rpg, if you had to master speechcraft like full max level but could do this I’d be happy 😂 I take player choice seriously
My son started watching me play Skyrim when he was 6 years old. He LOVED the skeletal dragon fight. He made me play it over and over and OVER. 6 years later his first D&D campaign he DM’d had a Dracolich for the boss fight.
Same. Having Serana along made it harder because she refuses to stay behind, instead lurking behind you like Smeagol. I mostly didn't want to kill the dogs. 😞
Me: *walking silently* Serana: Yes? What do you need? You to go away so I can have my orc follower hubby back but noooooo. This is the one world shattering quest we can't ignore indefinitely...
@@jtrex2249 I had serana for like 3 months before I decided to actually try to do the quest again. The first few times I tried it was glitching badly, but thankfully I finally sent her ass back to her castle so my modded in half giant bodyguard can swing a Warhammer around with me instead of just spamming shock from behind me like she did. She also had this creepy habit of spawning in front of doors I had to do a puzzle to open or even just the hidden walls that activate via chain. Scared the shit out of me many times
I remember when I first fought the Forgotten Vale dragons, I *knew* something was coming out from beneath the ice, but I didn't expect a dragon, or TWO dragons! Really an unforgettable moment to me.
One of my favorite moments as well, I play severely under leveled to keep the game super hard. I usually start again when I reach high 30s. The first time took me like 3 tries to beat them.
I think he meant bones, but this comment is definitely why I went searching the comment section. I really hope calling skeletons "bucket of bolts" becomes the new "murdered to death"
To be fair, without any ligaments and muscles to hold the bones together most museums use bolts to hold the bones together in their proper order and position so it actually looks like what it's meant to look like. Otherwise it'd be a pile of bones.
The two Revered Dragons do have some regular Dovah language in their names, and thanks to some things I looked up and a discussion I saw on the Elder Scrolls Fandom page I think I have a traslation. Vos Laa Rum means 'Able Laa Root'. Naas Laa Rum only means 'Corpse Laa Root'. Laa here cannot be translated. You can also add the l at the end of Vos and Naas to turn them into 'your able' and 'your corpse' respectively. Plus, the word 'Um' can translate into 'voice', like in Thu'um (storm voice) and Su'um (air voice, or breath). So Vosl Aar Um turns into 'Your Able Servant of the Voice', while Naasl Aar Um turns into 'Your Corpse Servant of the Voice'. Translated.
KpopGaming Studios and they can be battled on the small island in the center of the lake this defeats the ice problem and helps provide cover for lower level players who somehow end up there
They always tend to bug for me if I kill them while they’re flying. They’ll just hang in the air sort of floating along whatever flight path they were taking, but if I save and reload when they do this, they’ll crash to the ground and die.
@@gooddogreallygooddog6157 The first fight is EASY. Your Dragonrend recharges a second after he takes off, so you can just Dragonrend him again. Load him with Arrows while Partysnax distracts him, and hide partially behind the big rock on the Throat of the World. It's super easy. I'll tell you what's hard, it's a fight with a dragon and three lurkers at your back!
50% of the college leaves to study necromancy. Arch mage: no problem who cares. They’ve got a few overdue books and are refusing to pay. Arch mage: kill them all! No one can have an overdue book!
You can even take part in a ritual for the transformation. Though you sort of have to cut it short, on account of her intending to murder you to death and her daughter wanting no part in the whole thing.
The Forgotten Vale dragons do land, in all of my Dawnguard playthroughs I've seen them land, and someone in the comment section corrected you on the skeletal dragon being the only dragon you can fight before Dragon Rising - You forgot the Soul Cairn exists, a certain undead dragon wants a word with you Nate
@@mathieuxlaflamme2322 Exactly, the video showed Special Edition which has the DLC already and I'm pretty sure Nate didn't say "Base game" just "Game" - Correct me if I'm wrong
Oh man I'm so early to this video! What do I say? "Do you get to the Cloud District often" no no no that's not it! "A new hand touches the..." no stop it! "Murdered to death" yes nailed it!
@@buttsagonton101 Yagram Bagarn is his name. Last of the Dwemer. Maybe there are more but he's the only one I know about. He wasn't on Tamriel at the time during the disappearance. He did get Corprus when he tried to return to his people so he went to Divayth Fyr's Corprusarium. Tis where he remains till this day. Atleast I think so. Has been over 200 years and after Red Mountain erupted so... eh hes in Divayth's care so he'll be alright
You know.. Alduin, miraak and harkon might be the boss that tries to take over tamreil but there's one boss who hides in plain sight and need to be perished from the world.. Its nazeem.. We need to send him to the oblivion
Got one of those too haha!. Will the xbox 360 version not work on the xbox one as a backward compatible version?(I know it was released on the xbox one as an upgrade but thought I'd ask since all the 360 games I've tried have had no real problems!
I love the mysterious boss Glitch Dragon.Pretty much a regular leveled dragon,but it may be unrecognizable from having no texture, attack you while totally invisible or it may abruptly come back to life after you take its soul and fly around as a skeleton.
@@fugo5464 I think Miraak is the best final boss because he introduces the most new stuff to the game, dragon taming and riding and the Dragon Aspect shout has got to be my favourite shout in the game. Both Harkon and Alduin are kinda cool but once you've beaten them but Miraak is just too cool - The Last Dragonborn vs the First, it's too perfect.
@@Harry-iq4xt honestly, Harkon was easily the toughest of these three for me. Alduin was quite easy and somehow I managed to kill Miraak without any large trouble. But I fought Harkon a thousand times and he just always beat my ass.
I would love a dlc where you get stuck In a time portal and traveled through morrowind and oblivion trying to fix the timeline and could cross paths with the past protagonist's. Idk I would just love that
hahah gotta get more screens sir!!! have skyrim over here an nate over there and a 3rd screen for a handy website for checking item console command IDs and other assorted things.
@@coerydouglas1924i kept my old cellphone that doesnt keep its charge and use it as my Internet Browser. Leaving my good cell on the vids and my tv on Skyrim.
Honestly, one of the hardest minor boss antagonists I've ever face is during the quest forbidden legends. Facing the Gauldurson is one thing, but three of them at once!
Well, they didnt give me much trouble, i just stayed near the altar while sneaking and pelting them with exploding bolts and just watching them trying to look for me XD
Hagravens are not "born" they are converted. Though i believe they maybe able to give birth. And according to the internet. There seems to be some people that are willing to take on that task.
Considering you as the Dragonborn is apparently one of the people who are ready to jump the bones of a hagraven, maybe it's not that much of a stretch, even though blackout amounts of alcohol was involved.
Regarding Drascua - "To become a hagraven, witches must get a living sacrifice. This can be seen by doing the quest set out by Illia once you enter a hagraven cult's hideout." So she probably started out human and sacrificed someone to become a Hagraven to exchange their appearance and beauty for magic power.
interesting fact about the last 2 dragons we do know how long they've been there if you go there during the dawnguard quest without advancing the main quest to the point dragons spawn there will be 2 dragon skeletons under the ice and if you go when they are resurrected the skeletons are gone
Nate you should know that using the Skyrim menu music can lead to a copyright strike because another creator made a cover and owns the right according to RU-vid. Ymfah has gotten a strike for this reason
In my current play through Skyrim, I have a high enough Speech skill to get The Caller to just give me the books, but Lucien, as I was leaving was like, "Are you sure we should have just let her go?" So I went into sneak mode and shot her in the face, just to please him. lol
The 2 dovahs beneath the ice are clearly the most memorable for me. When I walked over this frozen lake for the first time I've got the distinct feeling of "it's quite... too quite..." and then those two dovahs just popping out of their icy depth... That really baffled me big time and the tough fight made it not only unique, but it really felt legendary. Oh and one thing: I wouldn't really say that Odahviing switched sides per se. He was always pursuing his own beliefs his whole life and when he felt that Alduin isn't really worth following anymore he just did his own "thing". And when he finally was imprisoned by the Dovahkiin, his cooperation is (at least in my opinion) mostly because he wants to see that he was right with his decision to abandon Alduin. After the Dovahkiin defeated Alduin it mostly feels like that he's grateful for proving him right and that he's aware that he better shouldn't mess with the Dovahkiin. Although he offered his services to the Dovahkiin, he still said that if you call him for aid, he will come *when he can*. This implies that he's still doing his own thing from that point on, but since he acknowledged the power of the Dovahkiin and wants to keep a good impression he will come for aid as long it doesn't really prevent him from going his own way. (Of course: Everything's my own point of view and it's not really based on facts and lore)
Regarding Drascua: it's obvious she became a Hagraven after she left Markarth, through a Forsworn ritual. She probably felt she'd be able to protect the Pommel better that way. Perhaps she came close to losing it during the Markarth Incident, and she felt this was the only way to become strong enough to fulfill her obligation.
Legendary can be tough, I recommend an enchanted dragonscale shield that resists frost and fire enchantments by 35% or more. The shield does work! It's better than using a ward spell cuz it won't drain your magicka. Playing range and hiding behind a rock is pretty cheap and boring, but you sound like you're willing to try anything to beat them, so that's a suggestion. An enchanted shield, a good bow and arrow, with a lot of healing potions (including resist fire or cold), healing spell, and you should be good. You could try destruction spells but you're better off using a bow and arrow. I rather save my magicka for quick healing personally. I guess it just really depends on your playstyle. Full on mage is effective for sure but once your magicka runs out, you're going to rely on conventional weapons like bows and swords anyways. When it comes to close combat with a sword and shield, it's risky as hell, especially in skyrim vr where sometimes your shield block doesn't register, and you got full on hit by a bite or blast of fire, which is why healing potions is a must. Direct damage (power slashes) is always better but little room for a quick run away or general effective defense. Even Charging towards a legendary dragon with an enchanted shield and decent steel sword is pretty fucking stupid but Damn fun when it works and you still survive. I think it's a given that you should have a follower in your hunts and ventures. May talos guide you, traveler.
The twin dragons in the forgotten vale scared the hell out of me when they appeared. Also, if I remember correctly, you can use the dragon rend shout to force to dragons to land and I’m pretty sure it works (I remember taking them out while they were grounded but it was ages ago since I fought them so I don’t quite remember).
The Caller is a reather fun enemy, though I always try to keep my High Elven student alive and at my side for the fight (my first Archmage ever just managed that). The Skeleton Dragon? FINALLY battled it (again, First Archmage) and it was, way easier than I expected (of course, I had 75-80% Destruction reductions, and was Dual Casting fireball after fireball, taking a few shots at the skeltons around). Hagraven? I havent done Pieces of the Past in quite a few plays, so I dont recall her, but I do know I managed to take her out with trouble (I think it was a stealth archer). Havent fought Minorne yet, though I hope to soon. I never did the side quest to get Florentius, but hope to in my current playthrough. The Dragon Twins. Ah, yes. Only One time have I fought them, but after slaying the first, I was finally able to call Durnheviir to my side for the first time. Gotta say, I was crying a bit in joy when he helped me down that difficult second one. Now if he could have only helped against the Arch Curate. I never beat him... DARN HIS ATRONACH!
The arch curate tho XD remember when he runs to the balcony and stays at the edge? I just frickin used Unrelenting Force Shout to throw him off the cliff then waited for the shout to cool down the used Become Ethereal to jump down to loot him XD
"those with a high speech skill will be able to convince the caller to give the books." Piper: *charmspeak* (only those who read the Rick Riordan series will understand)
Gosh, I need to stop procrastinating and just play Skyrim again. If anyone sees this, recommend mods and things to do. I've played Skyrim for about 900 hours now, I need something new. Btw, I play Xbox.
RoleplayRyan there’s some mod right now I think called blood and moon that introduces a new assassination target that is SUPER tough. It also ads an elvish town on the water near lake view manor. It’s kinda cool. I use sky land all in one, immersive citizens, unique weapons, wet and cold, hunters retreat, and immersive civil war cleanup.
I remember the two dragons. Great fun fight as I recall. Though I wasn't alone. I had Serana, I summoned Arneil to help. Maybe Durniveir with a shout, don't recall.
The skeletal dragon has a weakness to fire, and the most powerful boss in the game is the annoying frost troll that you encounter on your way to high hrothgar that kills lydia 50% of the time
One of the quests explains that hagravens were once witches/hags that go through a ceremony to become a hagraven. It's a hard to find tower somewhere in the south of Skyrim but I do remember the mage you help explaining that she wants to stop her mother from becoming a hagraven and if you help her she becomes a follower.
Talos the mighty! Talos the unerring! Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise! We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars! But you were once man! Aye! And as man, you said, "Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you." Aye, love. Love! Even as man, great Talos cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future of Tamriel! And there it is, friends! The ugly truth! We are the children of man! Talos is the true god of man! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit! The very idea is inconceivable to our Elven overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With man? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth! Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives? And what does the Empire do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The Imperial machine enforces the will of the Thalmor! Against its own people! So rise up! Rise up, children of the Empire! Rise up, Stormcloaks! Embrace the word of mighty Talos, he who is both man and Divine! For we are the children of man! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the Elves or their toadies, will rule Skyrim! Forever! Terrible and powerful Talos! We, your unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace and benevolence may we truly reach enlightenment! And deserve our praise you do, for we are one! Ere you ascended and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Talos, not as god, but as man! Trust in me, Whiterun! Trust in Heimskr! For I am the chosen of Talos! I alone have been anointed by the Ninth to spread his holy word!
Those two dragons could land. I know that for a fact because I saw it. I was in The Vail with Serana and Cicero and in the middle of fighting I saw one land. I was trying to shoot it and I was not missing, but it's health wouldn't go down. That was until I realized Cicero was on it's head stabbing at it. He was doing that one death move.
The skeletal dragon gives you the opportunity to craft a legit way to get dragon bones and craft a dragon bone weapon before doing Dragon Rising, meaning you have a LEGIT WAY to kill the very first dragon you kill in the game, with a dragon bone weapon. I've done it several times. It's so much fun!

Ok really dumb theory, the twin dragon boss fight ( idk how to type the names ) have similar names right? It's pretty obvious that alot of skyrim is inspired by ancient viking culture. In norse mythos, Odin the allfather and a god of wisdom, has two ravens. Muginn and huuginn. The names mean memory and thought if i recall. Their job? To fly around the world and collect information for the allfather. Now look at what skyrim gives us: A word wall, which is an ancient symbol of knowledge guarded by two flying creatures with similar names that don't land. Seems kinda similar to me
Dude, I was in a field by an inn and I just see a skeleton dragon attack so I figured that's what you were talking about but then I remembered the labyrinthian. I'm pretty sure my game was just a cursed af glitch bc I also couldn't kill this skeleton dragon. It just kept chasing me and killing me Also ps. I love that razor thing so much. Specially bc when I went up against the final boss of the main quest (obviously alduin) it one shot him
What if the "twin dragons" were possibly supposed to be a nod to Flotsam and Jetsam the 2 eels from TLM, or a nod to the game Double Dragon. I know highly unlikely but seems like they could be a little possible.
Damn you Nate! You got me to install Skyrim again and start playing and holy shit it's just as good 9 years later as it was in 2011. Todd Howard really should be proud of what he was able to get Bethesda to make. I mean he should feel like shit for Fallout 76 but they are trying to fix it so I'll give him a pass.
@theepicnate315 how about an episode about strange/funny encounters in skyrim? i could send you 2 examples at least i had recently. one just funny, the other one didnt seem quite thought through by the developers.
The twin dragon fight was one of my favourite dragon fights ever. They weren’t super hard (especially with Serana and her mother as followers) they were a little tricky but they’re so unique and so surprising that I couldn’t help but love them
Wouldnt that be "bucket of bones" in reference to the Labrynthian dragon? Also, Dead Crone Rock holds a way bigger treasure than the Pommel Stone. One of the Barenziah Stones.
I dont know if this was a glitch or meant to be but here goes. When i did the laboryntian qoust for the 10 time i had completed the dragonborn dlc. And when i was fighting the dragon i got low on health so i used *Bend Will* and when i did i heard the generic dragon voice saying. *Dovahkin* It didnt work on my friends computer but a week later he called me and said it worked. I asked him how and he said it only happend when he was low on health. Again i dont know if this is a glitch or just bethesda being bethesda.
Am I the only person that finds naslaarum and voslaarum really freaking easy? I foght them at level 70 with no bows or magic and easily defeated them without using any health potions
bruh I feel bad about the werewolves there so much vampire content in skyrim but there very less werewolf content in the skyrim game also its sad that you can become werewolf 2 times but you can become vampires unlimited times lol besides that i do like vampires but werewolf i feel bad for them.
The twin dragons were my all-time-high first time I met them. Way past level 50, playing with my armored-battlemage, throwing thunderbolt like crazy and using a lot of restoration to keep my head above water. Hard as hell to evade them, the greatest battle I fought before retiring my PS3
Those Forgotten Vale dragons, I've actually gone out on the ice and they didn't appear. Turns out their spawn trigger is the same for the others even though they're DLC. You have to finish Dragon Rising and defeat your first dragon before the rest will spawn in the world, including the Twins under the ice, so you can visit every Dragon Wall in the world and get the word without having to kill the dragon first except for a few places that house more semi bosses than their dragons. The Wall above Winterhold has a Dragon Priest if I remember, besides the dragon itself.
