This challenge wouldn't have been possible without the aid of the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages ► www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Skyrim
And a big thanks to Lorc for making the amazing icons that I have repurposed for this series ► game-icons.net/
Note: It's impossible to objectively define a 100% completion criteria for a game like Skyrim, all we have are our subjective takes on it. The Savior of Skyrim series is my version of 100%, but I encourage you to define your own! Mix and match my Completion Goals with your own, set your own Challenge Modifiers, and make your next playthrough something special ✨

Verulus? Verulus, you okay? 😱

[@battlemageblitz82]

Great, what's worse than a sleep paralysis demon? Brother Verilus in the corner of my room in the middle of the night. Thanks, Arkay. I hate it.

[@wanderingshade8383]

Oh man, you don't know how angry watching Mimir just run away from the Water Stone without taking its power got me XD

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

Yeah, I felt the same during editing 😅

[@wanderingshade8383]

Wow, that lil trip to pick up some extra souls got out of hand FAST.

[@unibrowsheepZ]

Brother verilus saying "The protection of Arkay is Absolute" while Tposing and floating with a shadowy face is legit the single most eerie thing to happen in this series. Straight out of a psychological horror cult film.

[@blandygaming115]

I chocked while I realized that there's a new episode and I was so happy I said "there's no way he made a new episode early them usual" then I locked at the date and realized that he still kept with the date but alright there's a new episode and I couldn't be happier

[@battlemageblitz82]

Ah, the good ole "violence to change merchants stock" cheese. Poor guy at the Brawny Pawn got such a beating until I got the Poison Resistance enchantment needed for the challenge. I also destroyed his dwarven urn as well. 😢

[@bastiengliech6638]

The Brother Verilus bug is equal parts horrifying and hilarious

[@naji_aka_Tracey]

Rumours confirmed, Dark is a Dunmer 😂 I actually thought Ralis was repeating his line. Fantastic episode. Went from bartering to battling real quick. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@vyromaniac4892]

Happy Savior of Skyrim Saturday! I was worried there for a minute

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

Sorry it was a bit late, I was on a car ride to a mountain cabin and forgot it for a moment 😅

[@adventuresinidiocy]

I like to think that when Dark uses the wiki, Mimir is getting divine knowledge imparted by the Mistfire

[@Glirdo_]

I played Oblivion along side your videos and I finally got done. I've now started playing along to this series yesterday, I'm on episode 15 and I'm excited to wake up tomorrow and continue.

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

I'm happy to hear it, hope your journey is a good one 🔥

[@Deinareia]

The Tel Mithryn apothecary also is supposed to work on the Sun Stone, alongside Ulves. It's a good thing she seemed absent from the fight. You still need her for quests.

[@Noketown]

Just found this series happy to go back 4 year 😊

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

Welcome to the journey! 😊

[@battlemageblitz82]

Btw, Mr. Dark. A bit of a heads-up. Make sure you get the Wabbajack before heading into Snow Veil Sanctum. At your level you'll heading into Dragur Deathlord central. Not too spoil for those who haven't played Skyrim yet, but a certain forced companion is quite squishy. The Wabbajack is a (mad) godsend in that dungeon.

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

Thanks for pointing it out!

[@lilac-sh9oq]

Thirteen years of Skyrim, and I still wasn't expecting that. 😂 another great video! Hope you're doing well, Dark :)

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

Thank you 😊

[@Lsb0526gaming]

Love these series you’ve got me starting my own 100%

[@TheLesMiserablesCats24601]

Happy Savior of Skyrim Saturday everyone. Hope everyone had a chill week, my has been shit but I’m glad to see a new Savior of Skyrim episode.

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

I hope you've had a better week now!

[@TheLesMiserablesCats24601]

@@VoicesFromTheDark Thanks for the kind words Dark. I’m getting there day by day just one step at a time. It’s a work in progress but I got to say this week has been better than last.

[@jumborancher]

Scary Verulus!!!

[@Aewon84]

Thanks for giving me nightmares for the rest of my life!

[@ze5084]

OH MY GOD VERELUS WHAT THE HELL HAHAHAHAH what was that?????????????

[@leavingundad6903]

That's a good question, my good sir. But the more right question is "Is there any weird bug that can't happen in Skyrim?". I hope Verulus' current state is not permanent and he will be fixed in the next episode when the game will be fully reloaded. I'm also worried about Serana, what happened to her? I hope she is not irrevocably bugged and we'll see her in the next episode as well. Btw in one of the Skyrim episodes of Lyle Shnub Serana bugged and started to spin like a wheel a la Sonic the Hedgehog in his Spin Dash attack. Some even called her Serranic in the comments, ha-ha. What a bug! Skyrim casually gives us plenty of such bugs, but it would be really hard for the modders to implement them into the game as a feature.

[@WWalton1996]

@@leavingundad6903 Would be a disappointment if Dark gets nearly 1/2 way to completion and then everything starts to bug out and break so bad he can't even finish his playthrough.

[@battlemageblitz82]

One easy but tedious way of acquiring the muffle enchantment is through the Atronach Forge after completing the Conjuration Master quest.

[@cameronmoffat]

Always loved your videos man - been watching since I was a kid (2013 to be exact), keep them coming 🏆

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

Thanks, Cameron! I appreciate it 😊

[@shuckern7wgas622]

Need a holiday from Starfield so thank you am going to dust off my High Elf ❤

[@AeonPrime92]

Oh man I really don't like friction-less Verulus. That man scares me. Arkay has abandoned him, and so the physical laws of the mortal realm no longer apply to him. Also you might want to look into the "absorb health" enchantment, pretty good on fast one-handed weapons, but practical in general.

[@Hydman84]

Muffle boots dark brotherhood

[@wanderingshade8383]

Can't disenchant those.

[@JohnnyQuick-xb3yv]

35:56 Oh my god, is that Dagri'Lon from Interesting NPCs?

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

Not quite sure what you mean, but I don't have that mod installed :)

[@Hydman84]

Good news paleveous lex is not important

[@nuvaria1337]

39:19 I imagined you put the torch into Verulus' face void, like Aragorn does to the wraith in LotR :D 1:01:01 Is that another song reference this episode? (Ain't no mountain high enough)

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

You bet 😂

[@paulakayschmidt7002]

I couldnt get a bunch of the skaal quests because they were collateral damage at the Wind Stone 😞

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

Oh no 😭

[@Deinareia]

Uhm, Dark? I noticed either you or UESP have wrong info. Your spreadsheet for Thirsk quest Elmus Favor (mead) says Retaking Thirsk has to be completed. UESP says it must NOT yet be comleted. (Infor for Elmus Favor (berries) matches up though.)

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

Thanks, fixed!

[@chris08876]

@voicesfromthedark Quick question, which version of skyrim are you using? Wanted to attempt a similar challenge.

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

I'm using the Special Edition, on the 1.5 version (the latest version is 1.6, but it breaks some mods and forces in Creation Kit content).

[@justsomeokami8867]

Curious: do you still play eso?

[@VoicesFromTheDark]

No, I haven't touched it since the streaming days :)

[@justsomeokami8867]

@@VoicesFromTheDark ah understandable. I haven’t touched it since my laptop literally fell apart. I partially miss playing
