How to Stop Getting One-Shot in Skyrim (Part 1)

[@Akial2935]

One other thing to note with math is skill level increased weapon damage by (for NPCs) 2% per point. So if you fight an enemy with 100 in two-handed (not sure who does but for sake of math) that Daedric warhammer on legendary is doing 162 physical (27 base, 200% from 100 skill, and x3 for legendary) plus whatever the enchantment does and I think some (usually boss) NPCs have perks as well

After over 4000 hours of playing over the past 13 years there are still videos that teaches me new things about Skyrim. Thanks a lot man! As an exclusively Legendary player, your exact knowledge on the difficulty settings and their differences is what's new to me here. Definitely subbed.

[@nannywhumpers5702]

No, your mother is an Argonian!

[@lichofhearts7479]

Your mother was an Argonian, and your father smelt of Juniper Berries!

[@johndyr8846]

Stop this you milk drinkers!

[@moonfoxarise]

Better have a mother Argonian than a mother Orsimer!

[@nannywhumpers5702]

@@moonfoxarise Good point!

[@exocept1998]

having that kind of regeneration and disease resistance could be nice...

[@TeaTime574]

Great help, I really appreciate using the old version of skyrim, I still play on my ps3 a lot and finding compatable guides/vids in general can be hard

[@jasond.6068]

This is a remarkably good guide to potions.

[@thulios2018]

I was having a lot of trouble with mages in Requiem, I hope this video can help me complete my permadeath.

[@justsomeguywithlasereyes9920]

If you were a mage you wouldnt be having anywhere near as much trouble in Requiem.

[@slinktv8827]

Love fresh original Skyrim content, followed. I can't wait to see where this guide goes.

[@itstrashboi4142]

I feel crazy, because i swear i can remember seeing draugr use fire spells

[@NoneOfyourgoddamnbusiness]

I have a vague memory of being very surprised that a draugr Deathlord was using flames on me but I can’t say at all if I’m just imagining things

[@WizardOfWinterhold]

You might be thinking about Ahzidal, the fire element dragon priest on Solstheim. Most undead will avoid using fire magic but that one belts out dragon fire like he's a kid with a new toy.

[@dashua1735]

Another thing that might have made your memories foggy are the fire-spitting traps

[@PhillipRubio578]

Krosis is dragon priest on a mountain in Skyrim that uses a fireball staff he appears if you unlocked dragons or not

[@artcrime2999]

Oh yeah, ward and shield in both hands when dragons come, shouts do nothing :D Become Eth for those emergencies when you need to take cover and heal.

[@artcrime2999]

You know, I have been doing basically the same thing you are doing, down to the unmodded original release. Respite and bashing is very strong combo for all melee and the marked for death shout is good until you get dragonrend, since it drains both hp and defenses, even on foes that wouldnt have defense normally like dragons. You can cheese your enchantments and a few standing stones/perk bonuses with a fortify restoration potion from a merchant, with the best giving a +50% boost to your enchantments and stuff. Just drink it then equip gear and as long as it stays on it will be boosted. Great for the Talso shrine in whiterun tied with a talos neck for very short shout cooldown. The veggie soup is a well known stamina buff, but it is a bit cheesy IMO. Salmon roe/nordic barnacle and garlic are very easy mats to make great potions to sell. You can get the Roe from jumping salmon on the way to whiterun, the barnacles in the moat outside Dragonsreach in the small moat, and garlic is everywhere. IIRC theres like 17 garlic in the Graymane house to steal. I basically made a new character every day, for 2 weeks. I found enchanting, smithing, heavy armor and one handed/shield was the build that scaled the fastest. Spare points into enchanting and destruction while keeping my actual 1 handed skill at a reasonable 50ish turned out to be the smoothest gameplay experience for me. The runner up was the light armor berserker using Volendrung with the soul siphon perk to keep it full, and a massive stamina pool. He was more glass cannon but very fun getting the kill or dying. The biggest issue is the armor stat. Smithing scales way way better than any mage armor perks or heavy/light armor perks

[@contessa.adella]

Legendary, Dead is Dead, no potions or food, no magicka use, no staffs/scrolls, no followers, bow plus 1H, no shields and 3rd Person…..That’s how we roll. Not easy, but thrilling. Yes we do use the Lord stone, Agent of Mara and enchant two trinkets of resist magic. We also take the kill bonus Agent of Dibella😊

[@Dojibu]

Just tried that mara's agent quest, and got bugged out in markarth. Guard was saying I was tresspassing, so I backed off and waited until fareen came out, thought I was in the clear, but the guard started attacking after I handed the poem to fareen. The quest didn't register I had handed the poem over to her when I hightailed it out of markarth, and into the wide world of Skyrim with an army of Markarth guards and Aldmeri Dominion duders tailing me. Lost them, and went back inside, appearantly no bounty placed, but Fareen doesn't remember me giving the poem, and Yngvir won't sell me another one. Poor calcemo will never see love T.T

[@Akial2935]

Mfw the hardest difficulty of a game requires me to make use of all the game's mechanics : 0. Joke aside my main issues with legendary is sneaks/mages not doing enough damage early game. And the kill cam just auto-killing me at full health because the enemy is technically able to one-shot with a power attack. Ignoring me dodging or blocking it

[@ReptillianStrike]

Oh yeah. I hate that the kill cam removes my ability to do anything and sometimes the enemy just survives the attack anyways.

[@jimk907]

Good video. I have recently started working on mage, battlemage and spell-sword builds and keep getting one-shotted by powerful archers (Saints and Seducers for example) and enchanted war hammers.

[@readsomebooks666]

Dude, just toss on some decent heavy armour.

[@JJ-me4yu]

🔥🔥🔥🔥video I learned alot fr I want to play skyrim now🤣

[@sebastiangrebe8276]

Very nice. Didnt know half of that.

[@eliburry6572]

Great video ❤🎉

[@eleanormaxwell721]

Tried stealth archer did not enjoy. Fell back to two handed. Then downloaded the Anniversary edition, no in between mods, love the crossbow. Feel the shot.

[@Lethal_Spoon]

full smithed daedric + maxxed ebony blade

[@ethan.2594]

… and your fathers smelled of snowberries

[@aidenwrath1402]

Then ya still get 1-shotted by the enemy double perk glitch lol

[@stranger7131]

What, no mention of sneak+conjuration+quiet casting? It's even more cheesy than your average sneak archer, and you can't die if you aren't even aggroed into combat when your summons are the only ones engaged in most cases, and you get to regenerate magicka at off-combat rate which is significantly faster. Granted, most summons are frankly anemic in damage output until Dremora Lords, and atronarchs only really starts being "decent" at Frost Atronarch (Adept), but hey, winning by attrition/just running past enemies is an option. Also conjuration is really easy to power level, you can just cast soul trap on an horker/mudcrab or cast bound sword repeatedly in combat.

[@stranger7131]

I'd have to say though, it's not exactly a "fun" playstyle. It's really just letting the AI grind each other's numbers except you can just summon another one after your NPC lost. You don't even need to know how to aim beyond the "general direction" on where you want to summon.

[@tomaszpawlik5091]

skyrim le in 2024? Based. orcs are the tankies race amd you didn't mention them at the start

[@livthewizardly]

He literally mentions them like 2 minutes in. People like you are the reason comments should be turned off until the video is finished.

[@tomaszpawlik5091]

​@@livthewizardly If you want to "umm acktually" me then at least do it correctly. Ofc that's not the part i was talking about, in video he lists orcs before elemental races - but he lists them mostly for "punching above intended weight" reasons, while the "take half damage" part is much more impactfull

[@Morbazan125]

I always play as argonian so my mother would be😂
