Skyrim: 5 Things You Probably Didn't Know You Could Do - The Elder Scrolls 5: Secrets (Part 18) 

There is always someone playing Skyrim at any given time

Brynjolf: All eyes are on you, lad. Don't disappoint us. *Inmediately dissapoints him*

You left out the best part of the last one. If you tell Maven about the horse thief from the start and give her updates as you go, she lets you keep the horse at the end and neither her nor the horse thief send anyone after you.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="604">10:04</a> Brynjolf: Just don’t expect us at your back when Maven has your head on the *executioner’s block* . Dragonborn: **has war flashbacks**

*Faces the dragon born in full dragonbone armor* "I've fought mudcrabs tougher than you"

Legend has it that Nate will carry on finding secrets about skyrim for eternity

Hey nate here’s something I just discovered: If you finish doing all the greybeard quests WITHOUT visiting the college of winterhold, you get unique dialogue options when speaking with Faralda and Urag. She lets you in if you demonstrate a shout, and Urag gives you the elder scroll books if you tell him you’re the dragonborn

❌ Skyrim is a big game ✅ Skyrim is not a small game

I dont get Astrids logic. Wouldn't a siege be a great chance to assassinate someone? It's a great distraction and the attackers would end up being blamed

Every time I hear Galmar Stone-Fist talk, all I can think is, "Somebody give this guy a damn throat lozenge."

I actually had an encounter I've never heard of before last night, I was wandering around with the Aetherial crown on, and I bumped into Taron Dreth, the guy who betrayed Katria while they were after the forge. He asked where I got the crown and I mentioned Katria's name, long story short, he's dead now, and I have his named robes in my display area. Don't know if it's been covered already, but I thought it was pretty cool.

It may be kind of mundane by now, but I’ve never heard anyone mention it. On my first ever play through of Skyrim I wondered across Cisero transporting the Night Mother’s coffin and a wheel had broken on his little wagon beside a farm outside Whiterun. After some talk with Cisero and a little fetch talk with the farmer, you help repair his wagon and he’s on his way. At the time I had no clue who he was, and thought why he had such a unique voice? I still remember this random encounter years later because of how innocent, unique, and sinister it was. “Please won’t you help me?” Said the strange jester. “I’m just taking my mother to our new home. Please won’t you help us kind traveler?” Also a fun fact about Cisero, if resurrected with the spell “Undead Thrall” (highest level conjuration zombie spell) he has a few unique dialogues that I found funny. Most followers just moan or grunt when they die, Cisero says “Coming mother”

After countless hours of playing Skyrim, i never knew the sister of the Riverwood trader guy shows you where to go in order to retrieve the Golden Claw. I don’t know, it was pretty neat.

Still waiting for that top 10 skyrim trees nate.....

"civil war": 7 guys took the capital

This is one thing I found that was pretty interesting. From what I've seen on Google I'm the first to find it too. So, when you go to the Dawnstar museum where you start the quest to get Mehrunes Dagon's dagger, there will be what appears to be a torn up piece of paper. If you put about 40 points worth of magicka into it using sparks, flames, or frostbite, it will turn the piece of paper into a bucket. Yes, that's right, a bucket.

Gets staggered, and is about to die “That was.... just a scratch!”

Killing the ritual leader earlier in Potema's quest is a really neat tidbit.

I actually knew about the one where you stop the necromancers summoning potema. I did it in one of my first playthroughs and do it everytime now. By far the most fun way to clear that dungeon.

You can also tell Maven about Sibbi's little deal, she'll tell you it's fine and that she'll take care of the issue later... ...in a random encounter you'll come across letrush's dead body, with a dead bandit nearby that has a bounty on it from Maven

I'd love if in Tes:VI there was a quest where some dude tells you "Hey people have heard strange noices from here, it's most likely nothing." And instead of it being some massive hoard of enemies, it is just that. Nothing. You leave thinking, "oh whatever was in there is outside waiting for me." But no nothing. You think it'll come back sooner or later... but it doesn't... ...however sometimes it almost feels as if it did...

I'm still waiting for the day you'll say Skyrim is a "flabbergastingly sized game"

You can meet Cicero before the dark brotherhood quest line and help him fix a wheel for carrying the night mother. Just tried to kill him. He's essential...

Did you know if kill harkon (I don’t know if this works with the Dawnguard) you can return to valerica you can tell her that you killed him and she will come back and she will replant some plants in the courtyard.

For my first couple of playthroughs of Skyrim I didn't know I could escape Helgen with the Stormcloaks......I feel like such a fool now.

Wow last time I was this early red mountain had yet to erupt

You can also tell Maven about the plot to steal Frost. Not only does it stop her from sending bandits and such later, she actually tells you to go ahead, and that she'll deal with the idiot who's buying Frost once he has to horse. I've done that several times now, and it's always funny.

I’ve done countless playthroughs of Skyrim and I just recently learned you can disguise yourself as a thalmor using their armor if you are a high elf during the main story thalmor embassy stealth quest.

Here's a one that's not been mentioned yet: In one or two black books, there's a puzzle section where you take damage if you enter the shadows, and have to stay under these floating moving light sources in order to not die. But you don't _need_ to use those light sources; player-made light works just as well. The novice-level alteration spell Candlelight makes the whole section _laughably_ easy. Magelight works as well, and I haven't tested torches but I assume they're equally effective.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="349">5:49</a> So basically... We have to roleplay as Miraak in order to be immune to all magic attacks.

I don’t know if you’ve covered this but in a random world encounter, where a thief comes up to you and asks for your stuff, you can respond with “I thought a nightingale would be treated with more respect” or something of that nature if wielding the nightingale blade. This was shown in Verdict of Odin’s January 2019 Load Order video. (Although he does have the nightingale forever mod, I think that’s what it’s called, so that could be the reason for this)

Not sure if you covered this yet But I just realized something When you have finished up the dark brotherhood Questline And have the sanctuary all nice fully equipped in dawnstar There is the torture chamber When you talk to the people there, or, more efficiently, use some means to drop their hp but NOT kill them, they ALL tell you about some hidden treasure, every one a different one

I spent 945 hours playing Skyrim and still not married. ( in the game [ in life too ] )

In White River watch the bandit leader's journal he talks of Eisa and Ra'Jiir the same Eisa and Ra'Jiir in the pale lady quest

I'm not sure about whether you have covered this before or not, or if anyone has commented this, but if you pickpocket Falk Firebeard before doing the second part of "The man who cried wolf," you can find the letter he sends to you via courier in his pocket, directed for you, whether you have started the mission, or did not. He is just carrying a letter addressed to your character about it from "world spawn" until he sends it to you via courier.

the one thing i notice you didn't cover over the 18 parts. if you meet up with a courier who says he is busy and has no time to talk and kill him, you find he carries interesting letters pointing to treasures or misc quests

I think you already mentioned it... But... If not... Did you know, that there is a Black Sacrament Ritual in the Basement of the House owned by the Black-Briar in the Town of Rifton... Behind a Master Locked door...

Legend states that Nate actually works at Bethesda, and it is he who orchestrated the implementation of all this details into the game.

One time during the seige on whiterun, one of my two kids (the girl) went missing after the battle. I didn't see her for weeks of real life play, but the boy was still there. I assumed it was a feature your kids could die in the seige Then one day, she shows back up and acts like nothing happened. "Young lady, you have been gone for over a year. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"

In regards to the quest Promises To Keep, you can also tell Maven about what you’re doing after talking with Sibbi. She’ll then tell you to go along with Louis for now and she’ll deal with him later. And then a random encounter will become available with a hired thug attacking Louis saying “Maven says “hello”.” I know this because I done it and seen the encounter.

Hands to yourself, sneak thief.

Nate will run out of adjectives for Skyrim's size before Skyrim runs out of details Unless the world ends first

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="420">7:00</a> I actually learned about this one a few days back when I was taking pot shots because I was bored and ended up killing the leader after I realized the arrow actually reached him, and then I accidentally rolled off the ledge and killed myself making the whole thing pointless.

Idk how you still kept finding new stuff on this game. It baffles me that 7 years on you still bring up stuff I didn't know, even though I put many hours into the game myself. Congratulations and I wish you continued success, your videos are great. Cheers!

Did you know on the mission that you have to frame brand shei if you kill the guard when he is getting took to jail brand shei and the guard disappears(i was hidden btw).

Thats alot of things to do

I'm on my first playthrough and its 2021, and I'm still finding this game to be really fun. Looking forward to TES6 for sure!!!

The coolest part about number five is if you get mixed up with the thieves’ guild and Maven then the quest won’t give you anymore markers. Love. It.

A thing to note about the Spell Absorbtion strategy, is that if you are a vampire, and have necromage perk, all you need for 100% is the Atronach Stone blessing and the Atronach perk. BOOM! You are a completely fire immune vampire, in possibly a full set of Daedric armor. Down side to this is that you cannot use summon spells, because the absorbtion also absorbs those.

Fact - Braith is the true dragonborn

I just had a funny encounter/glitch while playing. I didn’t return the Helm of Winterhold to Jarl Korir before I finished the Civil war quest fighting for the imperials and the quest is still there, but he’s be driven out and you can’t give him the helm anymore. He’s living in Windhelm and you have to break into the home to see him. I love watching your videos because I get to still see new dialogue and then sometimes have clues on new ways to play!

2024 and still playing Skyrim so I still enjoy these videos

Now that you have run out of synonyms for large you are just going through all the ways to say that Skyrim is not small, don't think we can't see that.

Hey Nate , you still haven't used Brobdingnagian to describe the size of Skyrim.

If you tell Maven about Frost, she says to continue with the plan

I am truly amazed that Nate has so many of these videos. Skyrim is insane with quests and easter eggs.

Perfect video for when I have a cold, thanks Nate.

Wait so if 100% spell absorption armour makes you immune to dragon shouts, does that mean you could fight the Greybeards no problem?

Watching this while playing Skyrim in 2022, 8th play through since it came out and still finding new things. We need the next game already!!

I LOVED fact #4! I think that's hilarious! I also really admire all your efforts in finding new things to talk about.

Has any one been across a headless horse man ghost

I don't watch these videos for the secrets, I watch them to see how many different ways Nate can say that Skyrim in a big game.

A unique glitch with the spell absorb is you can accidentally absorb one of the apprentice’s spells at the college of winterhold. Therein makinging her quest incompletable. Watch out for that. You cannot make her a follower if this happens. She’s the Dunmer apprentice.

your shots of skyrim in the video are soo good i really enjoy your videos!

I was playing Rune Factory 4 the other day and I spoke to a random soldier who said "dungeon crawling? I'd love to go but I took an arrow to the knee a couple years ago so..." I thought this was a clever reference on the developer's part and made me chuckle. Maybe you could use this at some point Nate. I hope this might help you. Stay cool.

Nate would you mind making some morrowind content? I would love it and I'm sure you can find something worth making a video about.

Not sure if you have already said this, but during Thieves guilds special mission in Windhelm, (where you take care of rival guild), you can burn their banner which causes Delvin to say something like this "it was a nice touch to burn their banner, that will teach them not to mess with us."

Has the "poultrymancer" been covered yet? Cause I just ran into him and it was the weirdest thing I've seen

General Tullius didn't realize he could stop the civil war by inviting a bunch of Emperor's relatives to Skyrim

I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE MAGIC ABSORPTION! Thank you for this series!

I love the detail that, if you’re a member of the thieve’s guild, when you infiltrate the Thalmor Embassy during Diplomatic Immunity, Etienne Rarnis, the prisoner being interrogated for information on Esbern, mentions that he’s seen you around the flagon, and if you free him and he survives you can later find him in the guild headquarters, where he’ll thank you for your help.

There is something else too- if you bring about what's going on with the horse to maven directly, she'll tell you go through with it and (that no matter what you decide) once you are done, she'll find a way to settle the score with louis.

THANK YOU NATE WE LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH

I remember stealing frost for Louis, but as soon as I got frost to Louis frost started to attack Louis. So in the end I kept frost for myself.

Nate you are way under rated I love your videos keep it up man!!!

I started a new character a couple weeks ago, and thought it would be funny to try to sling fireballs at the Potema summoning ritual from the entrance he shows in the video, and I actually managed to wipe out 80% of the enemies on the map without any of them being able to reach me. Needless to say, I had the quest completed long before I even reached the top of the ritual tower.

Hey Nate, do you think Queen Potema was a furry, and the whole " Wolf Queen" thing was just a fursona

if you use FudgeMuppets builds, you probably know about the 100% spell absorption

You can also tell Maven about the horse stealing plot. She's just like "Hmmm... Do it anyways."

I love these vids about skyrim. Really hypes me up for ES6

Love this series

10 years later, and I still love this game

Also with that last quest if you're in the thieves guild you can also go to Maven and tell her about the plan to steal Frost. She reveals that she and Louie have a past together and she'll give you the go ahead to continue with the plan, saying she will be watching what happens.

I'm currently playing again on switch and your vids are still helping

After talking to Sibi in the jail, you can go to Maven and tell her about the stealing of Frost. She will then give you permission to proceed as planned and sort it out later with Louis.

I think you may have said the dark brotherhood one already though I may be wrong

hey epicnate, I think I've found unique dialogue, but I don't know you already feature it in one of your videos. here it it is: After get out from the Helgen Keep and sided with Hadvar, I walk with him all the way to Riverwood. And then he talks with Alvor. But after he talks, he got stuck with walking Sven and won't move and Alvor is already inside his house. So I decided to come in and started tell Alvor the story. After I tell the story, then Hadvar come in and Alvor ask him about the story in Helgen. There's a change of dialogue in the conversation. It's new for me and freshened up skyrim a bit. I don't know if it works with Ralof and Hod too. If this is something new for you too, maybe you could try and check it. Manu thanks epicnate, and I like your Skyrim videos! Keep it up! 👍

Maven also has unique dialogue for promises to keep If you have started promises to keep and have talked to sibbi In the thieves guild quest where you meet with maven to put honningbrew Meadery out of business she says something along the lines of “Go ahead, is like yo see how far he gets with this little scheme ”

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="235">3:55</a> He can't afford an all-out war with the Empire, but the rebellion itself isn't that? Also, he can't afford an all-out war with the Empire, so, the rebellion it's going to fail anyway, HAIL THE EMPIRE

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="252">4:12</a> this is how I made a really cool anti-mage build

The absorb spells perk can also absorb your own spells. The amount of times I've been close to death and try to summon a daedra and i absorb my own spell

Skyrim...the game that keeps giving. The game that never gets boring. Have played since launch back in 2011 and still play now, i have lost count on how many times ive completed the game and missed out so much of the game at the same time.

Hey Nate, I wanted to let you know that I wrote an essay for a university course and included you and your videos! I got an A on It!

thats at least 18x5 = 90 things I PROBABLY didn't know I could do in this goddamn game!

I didn't know about the Wolf Queen one! Will try that on my next go 'round! Cheers

Why does nobody talk about how after you talk to Sibbi Black-Briar, you can immediately go to Maven and tell her all about the plot? It’s such a cool dialogue tree, and she basically tells you that you are good in her books and that she will dispose of the dude later using the brotherhood. Which also means she knew that her guards at the lodge would be killed by you and was fully ok with it

I've always liked it when he says NPC's are "murdered to death" 😂

Tales turned to stories.Stories turned to legend.Legend to myths. of the one with tiny details. THE EPIC NATE (Music)

The sniping of the necromamce-leader sounds awesome! Have to try it now!

New facts, really proud of you m8, good content this time. Keep it up.
