9 Things You Probably Didn't Know You Could Do In Skyrim

I love how 13 years after its release, the community is still going strong as ever. Keep it up dude!

I'm a bit surprised seeing people call the first hours of Skyrim a snooze fest. That's actually my favourite part of the whole game. I get a feeling of first being immersed in the world and then after leaving Helgen, I get a feeling of endless possibilities. My character is still weak enough to make things interesting. Later on in the game, I inevitably become OP. But those first hours are the best for me.

I can't believe that even in 2024 Falldamage is still making skyrim videos regularly

Angie is the best npc, she really makes the world for me and I can immerse myself to the fullest, this is how all trainers should be.

Am I the only one who thinks Angie should have been made a follower after the experience? One of the most interesting vanilla npc encounters and you walk away leaving her in isolation, having no reason to return, knowing her non essential status could get her killed as an after thought if a strong creature spawns in her vicinity. Thanks RDO and my home is your home mod for enabling me to keep her

This game will forever be one of my all time favorites. My love for it will never die.

Become ethereal actually one of best shout IMO.. if you notice a dragon about to land your head or breathe fire.. use it and dragon will waste all effort on a "ghost" and you can safely land a few shots with your bow or spell while its taking off. It is a life saver in legendary difficulty. :)

4:15 if you dont have an horse, transforming into a werewolf or a vampire lord gives you extreme speed regardless of how much you're carrying, yes you cannot fast travel while transformed, but that helps alot as a last ditch option.

So, each of the prisoners in the Dark Brotherhood torture room will give up the location by taking their health to below 10% without killing them, it is really easy to do, no conversations necessary.

0:55 A Lesson well-learnt, you'd better listen: DO NOT MAKE FOLLOWERS PICK UP STACKS OF ITEMS THIS WAY, THEY WILL BECOME ONLY ONE ITEM. I dropped 500 clay bricks in a stack for Lydia to pick up, and when I checked her inventory later, it was only one clay brick. Totally threw a monkey wrench into my plans, it could've been far worse if I asked her to pick up some valuable arrows. You need to drop them all individually, no matter how painful it is. if you really want some good painless carry weight on those followers try using the potion of restoration loop to get a super powerful piece of armor that increases your carry weight by 3 trillion or something.

Instant merchant gold refresh: 1. Quick save 2. Attack the merchant 3. Instantly quick load. - their gold stock will be reset

In Solstheim when you finish Bloodskal Barrow, at the end you can choose Scholar's Insight. This power gives you 2 points for each Skill book read. You can go from 90 to 100 instantly if you have 5 different books. An easy way to bypass the most difficult levels.

There's things that EVERYONE knows by now and then there are proper tips. Here's 3. Instead of going to the place requested, fight the Ebony Warrior whilst in a town, right after he's told you his nonsense. He can't spam shouts anymore and you have space to move around properly. There's a Dragon in Blackreach. Find the bit where there's a Falmer worshipping temple. Above it there's a big gold glowing light thingy. Use the Unrelenting Force shout on it, you hear a "Dong" and a Dragon flies out. There's a Dragon in Solstheim, tucked away on an unmarked island. Go find it.

just passed 370 hours on my file. level 183. Still endlessly entertained by doing weird stuff

This is the fist video of this type that ACTUALLY had things in it I not only hadn't done, but things I didn't KNOW at all! GREAT WORK!!!

We all have refused to move on

My first playthrough I did in Skyrim way back in 2011 I went from Riverwood to Bleak Falls Barrow. Did not go to Whiterun until after returning the Golden Claw. Interesting thing is when doing this Delphine does not show up in Dragonsreach. Did not not the trick for skill books and followers. I did know skills level up slower at higher levels though. NOTE: Fairly certain the Unofficial Patch removes the exploit for buying a home for free.

Knew all of these except two, one being the horse fast travel trick which I forgot, and the other being immediately going to the watchtower, which is something that just never occured. Awesome video btw. It's nice to see my favourite game still has people playing it and making content about it.

So fun fact with being over encumbered, ok so this sounds silly or weird but always carry a potion of increase carry weight as chances are that you picked up just enough to be over encumbered so the carry weight potion will get you long enough to fast travel. This can be done in fallout 3, NV, and 4 with a buffout drug.

Counterpoint to 3: If you head straight to the Western Watchtower, you miss out on a piece of leveled enchanted loot from Balgruuf for completing Bleak Falls Barrow. Instead, just head upstairs, wait for the conversation to start and then leave the room via the large doors to the balcony. Re-enter Dragonsreach and the conversation will be skipped, while also giving you your loot.

I actually didn't know some of these. Rare that I see little details which are new to me, and finding them makes this a more interesting channel.

It has to be said, I stopped listening to Balgruf years ago. The thing I really hate about that part of the quest line is sometimes you don't receive the Axe of Whiterun which, if you're an obsessive collector, can be a proverbial thorn in your mind for the rest of the game. I've got into the habit of doing a hard save just before entering Dragonsreach after finishing the Barrows, just in case that glitch occurs. As for carryweight, I made things easier for myself by downloading a backpack mod and tweaking the capacity so I have over 100k weight limit. Finally, if your on PC, you can get around any seller not having enough gold by opening the console command screen, click on the seller, then using the command "additem f xxx" to give them as much gold as you want, though I recommend not going over 31k.

You have an amazing voice, I bet you get all the ladies.

Angie is great to do when your Archery is 90 so you finish the skill off quickly

You can use a flame, frost or storm clock spell and use Become Ethereal afterwards to continuously damage enemies while still being invincible.

13 years and we're still discovering new, or unknown, things in Skyrim. And Fall Damage is still covering Skyrim to this day.

Just discovered your channel and loving it mate!🤙🏻

4:03 I kinna like to switch to my werewolf abilities and then stop near a town so the guards don't attack me and the fact is werewolf hitting ability kinna makes u dash so it's also way faster and when u have completed the time of bring a werewolf u can wait for 24 hours and be it again

Damn, I didn't know about the infinit companion carry weight. But I am newer to Skyrim than most, I suppose. I had taken a break from gaming to travel a lot for a few years. And I travelled a lot. Before the Nintendo Switch came out, so there was no way to play the games I really wanted to, at the time. Like Skyrim. Videos like this really mean a lot to me. Thank you for keeping Skyrim content alive along with a few other channels. I just subscribed🤘🏼

I just started playing skyrim a month ago. It's awesome! Though I figured out a few of these on my own. What's better than dropping your stuff on the ground is putting it in a chest, barrel or whatever place you can that doesn't count as stealing then have your follower take everything from inside. Much faster.

Today I learned that Dawnbreaker does extra damage to Dragons. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, they ARE resurrected after all.

Keep the skyrim vids coming it's great to have more content

It would have made a ton of sense if the ghost weapons were the exception to not being able to deal damage in the ethereal form.

I found Angie on my latest playthrough, and completed the first challenge. Unfortunately, we were attacked by a dragon, and she did not survive, so I was not able to complete the “quest”… 😂😂😂

For the first thing, you can throw your stuff in a chest/barrel/sack etc. and use the command for them to take all from chest. Way easier than having them pick up one item at a time, and they can pick up stolen objects.

Even more efficient than dropping items on the ground (and potentially losing materials as mentioned previously) just put all the items you want in a barrel, chest, or other storage container. Then command the follower to take all from the container. Super fast, never lose mats, and never lose items that bounce away on the ground. Just don’t try to do it inside a space where you’re trespassing or the follower may refuse.

getting houses for free is really easy in the switch version because you can use the amiibo spell to summon a chest anywhere that you want

thank you for sharing this

If Bethesda was smart they would give us a new few new DLC’s worthy of Skyrims reputation. I’ve been playing this game since its release, and the mods only made it better. I’d gladly buy a new DLC if they made it the size of the original game. I thought it would be a cool idea that you go thru a portal and are sent back in time to be a part of Ulfric’s uprising maybe even earlier when Winterhold was destroyed.

I don't mind the starting hours of Skyrim after thousands of hours of playtime because I play characters not the game.

Even though the Bloodskal blade’s energy blast thing doesn’t do much damage it does stagger many enemies, so still useful during Become Ethereal to interrupt enemy healing or clear a path to get to safety and heal

One of the things that peeves me about Skyrim is the fact you cannot travel on the carriage when you’re encumbered Yet you can ride your own horse and fast travel with no issue

I'm learning new things here

Make a tierlist video about the ways to play in combat (double handed, one handed and shield, one handed and magic, dual casting magic, archer, etc)

One of the surprises that I discovered is that Logrolf the Willful in the House of Horrors quest, had hidden plans. This Boethia priest had a hidden agenda to produce a sacrifice that would very much please his patron Daedra, but you and Molog Bal are going to destroy it. Talk to Azzada Lylvieve and his wife Michel. They talk about a friend that had helped Azzada get off the streets of Markarth. This old soldier is Logrolf the Bent. Willful? Bent? There is a similar concept in those nicknames. Plus, Bethesda doesn’t like to repeat names of characters except to make minor spelling changes. No matter what, would you readily accept help from a priest of Boethia? Michel also mentions that in one of his last letters Logrolf mentions a ghost problem in his house, hmmm?! To me is that Logrolf had planned to prop up Azzada then at the peak of his success give him to Boethia as a prize showing his devotion to this Daedra. Getting the mace from Molog Bal is actually a good thing as you prevent the murder of this good soul and preserve their family while denying Boethia one of her best priests. Most people think of the conversations with the Lylvieves as a nice story, but it could have had a cruel fate.

i've been playing this game since i was 6 yrs old im now 15 almost 16 and i love your videos can you show your mod list

I played this game so much that everything on this list is known to me.

You do realise that if you munch on Netch Jelly, or if the Greybeards hit you with Ice Form... You'd have to change your channel name

The #1 is good, but i didn't advise to do it with all thing, example, rings. I advise to use that for gauntlet or bigger items.

The first one is kinda true, but after a certain amount of items or weight, items will not appear in their inventory.

I think I've heard the follower carry exploit b4 --- but I no longer have/need them. Yup, done Angi's test. Never needed the horse exploit (I have a portable room 😜) Slaughtered the Assassins

the first trick works wonderfull with chests too :D

Also yout can stash loot on corpses and drag em or resurrect them to get loot places

You can duplicate youre items with followers. And if you want to cut a heavy amount of the story use youre horse or use a plate and glitch in the thalmor embassy from their youre quest will be done from that point

the trick to make your followers pick up excess gear is also the trick to duplicate items, you just have to pass through a load screen (like a main town entrance) then return to where you made your follower pick the stuff up and the majority of what you dropped should be there again while the originals are in yours or your followers inventories still. I just did this with soul gems and ingots and got hundreds of them without having to scour Skyrim or waste money buying them

Just started a new Thalmor build yesterday. Skyrim will never die

Load a dead npc with loot, resurrect with a spell and fast travel to a city. It leaves a pile of ashes but you will have your spoils of combat near to a vendor.

Btw the infinite follower item storage trick also works in Fallout. Actually thats where I randomly discovered that I could do that 😂😂😂

I hope my grandchildren play Skyrim and it lives on forever! Im 29 btw and have a 9 year old daughter, she’s on Minecraft now, when she’s ready I’ll introduce her to Skyrim 💚

I've been watching your videos recently mate! Giving me the ich to jump back into skyrim! Do you have a preferred mod list currently?

Oh my god! I'm a seasoned player of skyrim but i did not know about the carry weight! Game changer!

Iirc you can still use Cloak Spells while Ethereal too. Fire, Frost, Whirlwind or even that Sun Cloak from Dawnguard would all be useful but not so much Lightning as the secondary effect is kinda useless by late game since magicka regeneration is scaled by how much you have and late game mages have a lot of it making their regeneration for Fireball quite fast Fire Cloak does a little extra damage more than the others which stacks a bit in the 3 seconds it's active Frost slows enemies making it harder for them to dodge or escape from you Whirlwind will throw people around when you run at them The Sun one is just pretty and more effective against vampires/undead Drinking a potion of Fortify Destruction/Restoration isn't the same as the enchantment and will amplify the effects. Dual casting Cloak Spells also doubles the range. Use Fortify Destruction/Restoration Enchantments to make the cost cheaper and the Sun spells are cheaper than the default cloaks. Vampire Necromages can also get a boost to range. I am unsure if there is a way to increase the damage of the Bloodskaal Blade Energy Wave but I'd guess the Destruction Potion if anything would also do that

0:27 no I've been aware of this for a long time, seriously it's the first thing players are aware of ever since they started to hate on their own carry weight restrictions when looting tombs 1:20 I knew about this too 2:53 no, once again I did this as well. not with rude wizard but with the golden claw quest 4:08 nope, discovered this after doing enough DB story 4:57 nope, I learned this as I was refitting the dawnstar sanctuary 5:52 nope, know this trick too

My favorite is when I spam balgruff and he says “not now” I don’t know why it’s satisfying

I remember I accidentally cloned the Dawn breaker used the unrelenting shout while fighting the named “Boss” of the temple and had to look around for it cause it blew it out of the console and picked it up put it in and found another on the ground have only gotten it to do that again once

Jus be careful with number one like arrows sometimes if u do it like 25 sometimes theyll pick it up and itll say they picked up one

Love that you say, probably didn't know instead of you don't know.

Haven't played it in 5 years recently picked it back up can't stop playing....dammit!!!!😊

the carry weight thing has a bug that causes the items to register as stolen though, or it might just be how they decided to do it xD

If you save while crouched or fast travel while crouched or on a horse it might bug the save if playing unmodded

wish i could go back to when i first got into the game 😭

8:54 I will literally never get tired of that Outro lol

Thanks Guru

Myrwatch and hendraheim are free you just have to go to the location and complete a small objective to obtain them

In stead of the horse fast travel just take a potion to increase carrying capacity you get them trough out the game fast travel to your home and deposit loot in chest no horse necessary

I knew about Number 5, tbh I found out by accident and I knew about number of 7 thanks to a certain Spiffing individual lol.

The shout glitch works with vamp lord too

I dont know if im just broken or stupidly stubborn, but even though ive played hundreds of characters and beaten the game dozens of times, i still have never played a stealth archer (or archer in general) in skyrim. I always end up reverting to the spellsword (sword in main hand, spell in the other, medium armour).

For the first one, it's easier to just put the items in a container and have the follower take everything in the container.

Thats cool , learned 3 new things! Unfortunately for me i use MCO so the bloodskall blades attacks actually do not work with their power attacks. Means i have to no clip thru that puzzle in the burrow too. If anyone knows a mco patch for the blade i would appreciate that!

Archery in VR is much more skill based with realistic archery mod. It's the 2nd best VR archery I have tried imho. The first is In Death Unchained.

What kind of accent is this? I want to learn how to speak English in his way very badly 😅

Hey i did learn something new 😅 thanks

Okay so I knew the Fast Travel lock while encumbered and you would grab your horse for faster transportation..... however, i didn't know that you can just simply.... fast travel from it.

I saved all my skill books until I got the black book ability that gives double skill points for each. Then I cashed in. I a lot of these, but it was still a good vid.

I don’t know if someone already said this: You can fast travel over encumbered if you drink a carry weight potion

I used to think I knew every single trick glitch and fact about this game. But when you said infinite carry weight for followers I was like "fortify resto glitch, enchant a necklace, give it to them" then you said how to actually give them infinite and I have been humbled.

This I have not found ty for the bow place but i seem it would be best to use at level 95 or something to get faster to 💯 cause it take longet the higher lvl

#1 is literally used in the main whiterun item dupe glitch in the game tho.. >tell your follower to stay >drop some shit on the ground one unit at a time >command your follower to pick up all of it >leave whiterun through the main gate >return to whiterun through said main gate >pick up everything off the ground and in your companion's inventory >repeat until your follower manages to stuff 800 dragon bones in their pockets with 0 issue

I didn't know about that western watchtower thing. Hmm, another new game again I guess

Ah shieeet, never thought about asking my follower to pick up skill books, I always read them on the spot because I figured I’ll likely not go back to it anyway

Hey thought I would let someone know this if they didn't already I figured out that if you use courage spell on the ghost guy in king olofs verse for the bards college you can see what he looks like so many interesting things

Flame cloak mix with potion of fortify destruction at least x1000 you will bubble every agro enemy around

I love your videos

Wow, I actually learned a thing or two.

I don't know why people keep listing clear bugs as "Features". Tell me what the difference between cheating the gold for a house in console and doing what this guy mentions? Talos amulet bug literally breaks the game with no cooldown shouts

Or just never pick up the dragon stone tablet. Never start the main quest and go about doing everything else with no dragons

Ive played since release and only last year learned you can roll. I can still only do it by buttonmashing accident

I've force feandal to pick up 8000 gold ingots once so I could duplicate them, and then hit legendary in smithing tree a few times.

So I lost my thieves guild armor how do I find more to get the upgraded armor
