How to Make High King Torygg Execute Ulfric Stormcloak

Here is a link to darianbrownies: / @darianbrown5671
Khepra also posted about using Mind Control Spiders to create permanent followers, though I do not believe they have a YT channel.
Geta92 introduced me to the Mind Control Spider exploit. Here is a link to his YT: / @geta92

The song playing is Keep the Groovin', from Streets of Rage.
No mods. Gameplay performed at Level 1 (except for the two bonus clips). Scrolls were used in place of spells. A Potion of Illusion can be obtained from the Arch-Mage's Quarters, in order to boost the Frenzy Scroll to be powerful enough to effect Legate Rikke.
Vampiric Grip can be used as human, through exploits.
Mind control spiders can be used to create permanent followers. This exploit is still relatively new, and not very well understood. The principle behind it is to break the 30 second timer by quick loading and quick saving in a separate cell from the target. At this point, they should become a permanent follower. However, the exploit does not always work, and continuing to reload the same save file and attempt it again can ruin the chances of it ever working again in the same playthrough. Also, illusion and alteration spells cast on the target can remove the follower effect when they wear off.
Followers normally cannot follow the Dragonborn into the city during the Battle for Windhelm. This occurs because of a script that prevents them from using the entrance. It can be bypassed by getting a bounty in Eastmarch, and then paying it off. Going to jail does not work.
Once Ulfric has entered his bleedout phase, anything cast on him will kill him, even restoration magic. NPCs cannot be made hostile to him to attack him either. If killed by someone other than the Dragonborn, he must be killed by a direct attack, as even AoE damage will not register. Miraak's Staff is a very good weapon for killing him, as it constantly launches multiple projectiles, giving a good chance of hitting Ulfric. I used Voice of the Emperor to calm everyone after Torygg killed Ulfric.
Elenwen loses her essential tag after completing Dragonslayer. Using Whirlwind Sprint and then immediately eating a netch jelly will rag doll the Dragonborn. Doing so also gives a small amount of exp to alchemy, which is why the first bonus clip could not technically be performed at level 1.
A Scroll of Fury and a Staff of Fury are bugged and will not make Torygg turn hostile. Courage and the Fury spell itself are needed to do so. I reverse pickpocketed him with a Scroll of Chain Lightning. The particular method used to kill Roggvir does not cause the player to incur a bounty.

This exploit can be used to make most Skyrim NPCs into followers, as long as they are not immune to both Mind Control Spiders and Bend Will. It will even work on the Ebony Warrior. However, it is extremely buggy and does not always work. Here is a video using the exploit to obtain previously unobtainable armors and clothing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn2bpp95dtabors

[@vasilyd8578]

I can't imagine how long one such short video took, given the vampire grip, Sovngarde, Miraak's staff, the attack on Windhelm and the other things...

[@leopoldstotch711]

Fortunately, I was able to use old save files, like my level 1 PT, so a lot of the work was already done. However, going through Civil War, which I never normally complete, was a huge pain.

[@midnightcoffee6463]

They say High King Torygg murdered the Jarl with a staff! Hentai'd him to hell.

[@gerbenvanegmond4007]

Once again a law defying series of game breaking features found and this time, used for some epic poetic justice

[@leopoldstotch711]

Thank you! I cannot take credit for this discovery. I just used it to do what I love doing in Skyrim.

[@Askjireg]

Every subsequent video you make gets that much more ridiculous and it always brightens my day. I know at some point you may run out of ideas but I hope it's in the distant future. Love the content, thank you.

[@leopoldstotch711]

Thank you. I’m always trying to push the limit of what can be done. I don’t want to just do the same thing over and over again, since that would be boring.

[@Askjireg]

@@leopoldstotch711 Diiferent strokes for different folks. I pretty much do the same thing everytime I play the game, and here I am thousands of hours later still doing it XD

[@bigaj6901]

Streets of Rage 1 soundtrack?! You, sir, are a legend.

JUSTICE PREVAILED

[@Alpha545]

Truly the godlike abilities of a Dragonborn on display here :)

[@SoyUnZombi838]

So... This is the true power of a Dragonborn that Miraak mentioned...

[@darianbrown5671]

Amazing video leopold! Youre so creative! Its so awesome seeing people play with something I figured out!

[@leopoldstotch711]

Thank you so much, Darian! I absolutely could not have done this one without you.

[@KoshTimeStepper]

This goes so well with the Streets of Rage soundtrack! Finally King Torygg gets his revenge.

[@Silneth]

I was like brain.exe has stopped working when I read this notification lol, I was just... "how tf..?!" lmao. This was a really amazing setup and series of plays to make this happen, and that was just glorious payback on that entire trio, loved it!!

[@leopoldstotch711]

Thank you so much! Sickliff and his community of glitch finders have recently opened up a whole new world of gameplay for me.

[@Silneth]

@@leopoldstotch711 nice lol, that means more hilarious takes for us then!

Revenge! REVENGE!

Wonderful!

[@nessesaryschoolthing]

Random question: if you kill Ulfric, dead thrall him, and then bring him to Sovngarde (if they allow thralls up there), can you cause Ulfric (the departed soul) to meet Ulfric (the animated body)? Or do the same with any other person who ends up in Sovngarde when they die?

[@leopoldstotch711]

Dead Thralls can’t follow to Sovngarde.

[@nothingunusual7107]

@@leopoldstotch711 then can you thrall Ulfric, go to sovngarde, use this video's method to bring him back, then have 2 ulfric followers?

[@leopoldstotch711]

@@nothingunusual7107 It should work.

How have I never seen torygg

[@firelow]

I really thought he was a boy because of what Proventus said

[@p1553d0f]

It’s very easy to miss him since he is obscured by all the mist

​@@firelowproventus is a thalmor puppet, u can see him at the thalmor party in the main quest licking their asses

[@crabramen]

This is EPIC!

[@Lady-Kanerasoka]

I can only imagine just how long it took you to figure this all out!!

[@leopoldstotch711]

Figuring out how to get Torygg into Windlem took a bit. However, the hardest part, BY FAR, was actually making Torygg kill Ulfric. NPCs refuse to target him, and AoE doesn't work, which I didn't know before attempting the kill. Frenzy will kill Ulfric. A Staff of Fireballs didn't work, even though fireballs were landing right next to Ulfric. Scrolls of chain lightning would hit everyone but Ulfric. J'Zargo's Flame Cloak, when cast next to an undead summon I turned hostile would set everyone on fire, except Ulfric. Ice Storm might hit him 1 out of 100 tries, but Torygg would almost always cast it into the ground. Then, I finally thought about Miraak's staff and how it shoots constantly. Torygg's targeting is screwed up, so he would repeatedly and continuously shoot the tentacles to the spot where Legate Rikke was initially standing (even if she was halfway across the room at that point), which is why I had to move her to the other side of the throne before talking with General Tullius.

[@Thatoneguy12374]

How did someone figure this out to begin with

[@Leto85]

How did you get on Solitude's execution without agroing the people on stage?

[@leopoldstotch711]

I’m at the very edge. Any further in will cause aggro.

[@alexeykamenev1348]

Will Elisif recognize Torygg if you go to blue palace?

[@leopoldstotch711]

Unfortunately no.

[@Leto85]

Wait..., this is how you get unintended direct hits? This opens up pacifistic methods to kill Alduin as a pacifist, doesn't it?

[@leopoldstotch711]

Doesn’t work on Alduin. He’s protected.

[@Leto85]

@@leopoldstotch711 Ah, that's right. And Ulfric isn't at that point.

[@firelow]

Do I have to play the wrong side of the civil war tho? Is there a glitch to make Ulfric no longer essential when the stormcloaks rightfully win?

[@TheHenrique8791]

There is no reason to revive Torygg if you're a filthy stormcloak.

[@YungBeezer]

@@TheHenrique8791 Ok knife ear

[@keifujitora6587]

"Wrong side" Spoken like a muscle brain bear skin wearer. War or not, safety of the citizens is top priority. And the Empire knows that. Unlike Ulfric and his band of racists.

[@Aschariel]

How to make a weak king execute the High King? k... Ulfric Stormcloak is tha man! We'll invade the Thalmor Empire and butcher every single elf and imperial, none shall remain. Ulfric's throne will be made of the bones of our enemies, in TESVI.
