Skyrim Deep Cuts: What have you discovered that you think others may not know about?

Posted by Teccam on September 12, 2017 at 1:31pm

Skyrim is, of course, a massive game. So massive, that despite most of us having played hundreds or even thousands of hours, we probably all still have some undiscovered secrets waiting somewhere out in the world. So I'm making this thread to ask you all: What have you discovered in Skyrim that you think others might not know about?

This could be a secret encounter or area, an easter egg, a unique line of dialogue or encounter, etc. I'll start with a couple:

  • Forgotten Vale Paragons. In the Forgotten Vale, there are five paragons that unlock small secret areas in the vale. Each paragon is carried by a frost giant, and you can use the paragons to access new areas with new giants and loot.
  • This is a pretty well known easter egg by now, but if you shout at the big glowing orb in Blackreach, a unique named dragon will emerge.
  • Another pretty well known one, but to optimize Stamina use, never let your bar drain all the way to 0 -- this causes a delay of several seconds before regeneration begins. If you run down to 1, it begins to regenerate immediately.
  • The spectral assassin you unlock during the Dark Brotherhood is the ghost of Lucien LaChance, a former Speaker in the Brotherhood who was your mentor during the DB quest line in Oblivion. It has the same voice actor and he alludes to Oblivion a couple times. He also has unique dialogue if you summon him before deciding whether to kill or spare Cicero (he advises you to spare him).

So how about you guys? What are some things you've discovered that you'd like to share?

    I discovered that one nifty trick with paralysis and undead thralls. I feel kinda guilty for keeping it a secret until i made a build out of it.

      What did you discover? Which build utilizes it?

      • Curse > Hunter Of Men October 1, 2017 at 2:56am
        I used it in a build called the Berne Clansman. There's a link to it on my page if you want to take a look or have any questions.

        Forgot to answer this. But as far as what I discovered it was this:

        If you kill an enemy while he's paralyzed and then ressurected him, his corpse won't be able to move or attack. Enemies can still target him but they won't be able to kill it.

    Its been an long time since I discovered this and I posted it elsewhere on the site. I know for a fact nobody else has discovered it because nobody else has used it. Try to google this info and you will not find it. I am the only one to discover this tidbit of gameplay...

    As a werewolf you can do some animation interrupt stuff that allows you to chain together big combos of pain. I will not go into detail for the 2 reasons I stated, but nobody else has found how to make your werewolf an offensive BEAST like this. Also, 100% of the instructions for werewolf gameplay are wrong. They all draw from the same source and that source was wrong.

        No I don't even own Skyrim now so there is literally 0% chance of me doing so. I wish someone would take it, dig deeper into it and do something with it. Some say there are no new things to exploit in Skyrim but this is definitely one of them.

            I was going to make a build about it. I tested it over and over and it was very fun slaying entire dungeons in Werewolf form. I even had Brynjolf on the old site help test it (you might know him as Bryn or not know him at all). So yeah, go for it!

    • Teccam > Ben C September 12, 2017 at 10:49pm

      I remember you talking about this a while back. It's not the same thing as where you turn your camera back and forth mid-swing is it? Because I know Zach made a build that used that mechanic for human for unarmed damage and was able to proc 3-4 "hits" per swing.

      • Cannon > Teccam September 12, 2017 at 11:22pm
        Does the same thing work for werewolf form?
        • Teccam > Cannon September 14, 2017 at 5:16pm

          I'm not certain, but I think it does.
