Skyrim Anniversary Edition: 20 Unmarked Locations You May Have Missed!

[@emlazslo]

I figure the human skeleton in the mammoth skeleton could be another Star Wars reference. This person crawled inside of a dead mammoth to stay warm but, unlike Luke, didn't survive. Excellent video! It always warms my heart to see the love for Skyrim after all these years.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

Yeah thats a great theory, could well be 😁👍

[@PaulTanner-pc1nj]

I'm one of those guys that have played Skyrim inside out and may not even do many quests anymore unless I'm wanting specific items for a build, no matter how many thousands of hours one has in the game or if your totally new to it one cant beat just roaming the map looking for new locations or NPCs, if your map is crowded with location symbols i roam around the gaps in map markers looking for unfound or unknown detail....that's why i love Skyrim so much, you can do what you want when you want.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@PaulTanner-pc1nj yeah it's amazing for that, I thought years ago that I'd exhausted skyrim and had seen it all. And yet 2 of these locations in this I stumbled upon in one evening which were brand new to me, which is what prompted me to pull something together 😁. Looking forward to the next time I discover something new

Idk i did all the missions (not all radiant), found all the locations, and now except those radiant that takes me to places i cleared 5 times, i really don't know what to do anymore. I even built all the houses

Enjoyed your video very much thank you. I've been playing skyrim since it first came out. 1st time was on ps 3, then xbox 350 now on pc. I'm 63 and it's my all time favourite game. I never get bored whst with the dlc coming out. Thank you

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@transportbykdp that's great glad to hear 😁 my timeline is very similar, first on PS3, then PS4, now on PC. I'll never get bored of this game 😅

[@Kahadi]

I think the Lovers Tragedy one at around 10:00 might be a reference to Pyramus and Thisbe. The story is part of the inspiration for Romeo and Juliet for those that don't know it, but briefly summarized, Pyramus and Thisbe were lovers forbidden by their parents to be together. So they decided to elope and planned to meet at midnight by a mulberry tree. Thisbe arrived first and was waiting when a lion approached. She hid, with part of her scarf catching on the mulberry tree. When Pyramus arrived, he spotted the scarf and the lion. Usually the story goes that Pyramus slew the lion, then killed himself believing the lion had killed Thisbe, but I have also heard a version where the lion killed him. Either way, Thisbe returns and sees Pyramus, dead, so she kills herself with his sword, the two laying together in death under the mulberry tree. Of course, this scene isn't exactly the same, but you have lovers forbidden from being together, planning to elope together only to both end up dying. But as stated, there's always a predator encounter nearby, reminiscent of the lion from the story. And the woman is found under a tree, a juniper berry tree if I saw correctly, referring to the mulberry tree from the story. Even the subsequent altar to Mara could be considered a reference, since the original adaptation had the gods honour the lovers by changing the colour of mulberries to match the pool of blood. Obviously this isn't the same as someone putting an altar up, but there is still the symbolism of honouring their love with a reference to the gods.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@@Kahadi that's an awesome theory! I did always think this one felt a little Romeo and Juliet

Well, the Chill is literally Winterhold’s prison. Not some random unmarked location, but a prison where you’re sent if you commit a crime in winterhold.

[@xineohpinakc264]

There is so much stuff in Skyrim. Even today I find a thing or two sometimes if you take a companion and let them fight for you even in bleak falls barrow you will find things you didn't know were there. I didn't know for example there is 3 chests in the same room as the word stone. Lots of hidden chests in this dungeon. Before you get the claw if you go straight to collapsed tunnel and smack away the webbing there is chest there. As you are going to enter bleak falls itself, turn left and go around the barrow and there is a strongbox usually with jewels on the side. A lot of times these days when I go to dungeons that I am bored with I take a companion or two and let them do all the fighting while I just look around and see if I can find something new.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@xineohpinakc264 yeah there is one up to the right near a waterfall isn't there. That one usually has some good stuff in it. Then there's another one on the left side, past the stair well that leads you out. That one for me usually only has gold or a few smaller things in it. I only found that latter one a year or so ago.

[@xineohpinakc264]

@@mike-thegamingdad Go around the the back of the word wall on the right and jump those rocks. There is a chest on top usually has some gold and jewels. You can barely reach it jumping and yes there is a another chest under the waterfall. There is a strongbox adept with jewels if you go around the entrance of the barrow to your left and there is a little cut out area it has that and an alchemy satchel also. Just amazing stuff I still find.

20:04 A ring of mushrooms like that is called a “Fairy Ring”, and it is actually caused by old tree roots in the ground. (In real life) The developers probably just knew this and threw it in there as an Easter egg! Not witches, not alchemists, it was caused by lumberjacks!

[@mike-thegamingdad]

[@doomsdaybooty1072]

Yes but of course a fairy ring is always one mushroom type

[@michaeltelson9798]

A fairy ring is actually a single fungus. Mushrooms are the fruit of the fungi. Every year they expand a little wider. One in Wisconsin was over a mile wide bringing up the theory of what is called “super organisms”. I have seen where the Fly Agaric mushroom covered a single clearing ringed with pines. The caps were identical color for that year but each year they were a different color. My Masters is in Plant Pathology and my emphasis was mycology . Beech trees grow in rings as root suckers come up at the furthest extent of the root span. It isn’t unusual to find a ring of Beech trees with the mother tree absent in the center.

Activate the cracked bookcase and you follow the tunnels you would've found a letter to Hrodulf in basement with bandits and the sender, Bjornolfr, begs him to return to Skyrim. He obviously went to find him as his body is in the tunnel that leads to a partialy dug out dwemer ruin. Looks like it could've been more of a story line but I couldn't find anything more.

Been to most of them by accident. Was just wondering where The Chickenmancer is. lol. A couple I don't know if you know. Somewhere up in the mountains up north is a caravan of dead Bretons, forget exactly where and near The Island of Giant Nirnroots there is a dragon roosting on what looks like word wall, but there's no word there. Up somewhere around Peryite's Shrine there is a small shrine with a dead Bosmer woman who looks like she killed herself after doing the ritual feast of eating an enemy, or at least someone dead. On the shore of Lake Ilinalta, towards Halfmoon Mill there is a cairn with another Elf who seemed to have killed himself, he has a coinpurse, perhaps he took money to do something dishonorable then regretted it. Also behind Hillgrund's Tomb there's a little scene ,a bandit archer is sitting in the middle of a log bridge. There is another dead bandit at the bridge and down below a dead orc bandit with a dagger and some loot. Maybe a falling out over spoils? Past Windhelm there's an abandoned fishing camp and a journal. If you go in the water there's a huge swarm of slaughterfish, an overturnrd boat and two skeletons. Guess we know what happened there.

[@Gaz66d]

So… I’m guessing you don’t know the folklore behind mushroom circles irl being a sorta “portal the the fairy/fae realm” and this is a thing that happens irl (though usually it’s only one type of mushroom afaik) the fact that deveopers put Fairy Circles in the game… and in more than one location either alludes to this particular belief- or is hinting that there’s some way to activate the magical portals in game (either to leave people speculating and trying everything they can) to access another realm on top of the real one perhaps? I mean, you can go through the entire game and never once realize there’s a dark side UNDER Skyrim with glowing mushrooms and stuff which can only be accessed as specific locations in Dwemer ruins. Same with how there’s another “realm” within Solsthiem through those dragon books. You travel through the books in a realm called Memoria or something. And even if you travel to Raven’s Rock you may never accidentally enter the book realm. So I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s yet another unexplored realm that connects to these Fairy Circles of Mushrooms. But it could also be an Easter egg and a red herring with no actual function (unless it’s planned content for a different update… I mean they keep adding more features. Who knows…) but even if it’s just some interesting lore building that like maybe Spriggans enter Skyrim via these portals, so only a Spriggan could activate it… idk it’s more interesting to speculate.

Do you have an underwater guide or sunken ship guide??

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@lmungillo not currently no, but that is tempting 😉

[@lmungillo]

@@mike-thegamingdad I love underwater exploration! There isn’t as much in Skyrim as there was in oblivion… I don’t think!

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@lmungillo yeau there's not a huge amount I can think of, mainly just the odd chest here or there even in the ships. It was a shame because my very first character was an argonian as I thought waterbreathing might be a really useful skill, but you can get by without it almost indefinitely 😅

[@lmungillo]

@@mike-thegamingdad same!! I love making argonians! It was such a benefit in oblivion!

Never knew about Lorenz lol

You missed hidden lockbox under the basket at whispmother well

[@seekthtruth]

Sweetheart, I know kids dont go outside anymore but mushroom rings exist in nature. They appear where an ancient tree would have been. They grow along the outline thus in a circle

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@seekthtruth yeah others have said the same, did not know that never seen one before!

[@SaminWA-mn4ug]

Disappointed with Dragon Age 4 and tired of ESO, so while I wait for AC: Shadow, I started a new toon last night on Skyrim.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@SaminWA-mn4ug ah nice I hope you enjoy your new save 😁👍🏻

[@SaminWA-mn4ug]

@@mike-thegamingdad Most definitely! There's only one other game I love as much as Skyrim and that is AC: Odyssey.

[@scottpascoe562]

28:00 I remember the first time I found these giant fuckers.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@@scottpascoe562 so strange, I completely missed that they were larger the first time I went here as I'd only come for the strongbox near the shoreline

[@JosephNewham]

Ps the spelling correction program kept changing my spelling,im not the best at spelling but im not as bad as the correction program makes me and everyone else out to be.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@@JosephNewham don't worry about your spelling at all, I could read it 😁

[@EdwardCook-xq7jo]

The sleeping sap tree is one of my favorites. I always go and fill up a vile of sleeping tree sap to save and sell to my in game wife Ysolda. Yes she is my wife in the game. I was trying to find a way to divorce her and marry another woman. Is there a video or videos that can give any way to be able to remarry? All of these are my favorites in this video by the way.

under the basket by the wisp well is a shiest

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@@markangst6653 I'll have to go back and check that out 😁

[@Maverick54]

cannot find that staff 0:58

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@@Maverick54 the staff should be resting next to a tree on the right hand side as you face the skeleton. There's also a rucksack there
