Skyrim epic exploration [ The edge of the world in Sovngarde ]

Messing around in Skyrim and found out a way to penetrate the restriction barriers of Sovngarde. I this video i just explored a fraction of what can be seen, i challenge you to discover the rest for yourself.
NOTE: I'm NOT using any form of manipulation on the game files, so this should work out on console. If i'm wrong feel free to correct me.
And oh yea...My dyslexia is well proven in this video. Enjoy.

[@Dragonk116]

So is this the famous cloud district that I have been hearing about?

[@emmarina3525]

The cloud district is actually where Dragonsreach is, Nazeem basically considers the dragonborn trash because he works with the Jarl and owns a farm in Whiterun

[@whakamol]

You stumbled into a land where up is down and down is sideways and sideways is nowhere, where the laws of space and time have been shuffled like a deck of cards. Welcome to New Jersey.

[@DeSardet46]

Sithis created life?

[@theredhoodedboss9030]

Baires 456 yes and no he created the ones who created life so sithis made everything in a way

[@mirzataufikurahman5478]

theredhoodedboss anu made 12 realms and lorkhan reshape the remains of those realms into nirn because it was destroyed by padomay/sithis for his jealousy towards anu

[@Schruk]

That flat desert place is where the run of the mill nords go. You can probably find Hod and Alvor there. R.I.P. Hod was killed by a dragon and Alvor by a vampire.

[@ryanmulherin2682]

I can't bear to watch Alvor die. One time he was killed by a dragon and his daughter came over to his body and screamed in grief, I loaded my last save immediately.

[@ra_alf9467]

Whats that a reference to?

[@chrisstanley7597]

The movie Inception

[@themrflash6437]

There's actually a way easier and WAY shorter way to get there. Go straight to the Hall Of Valor, but stop at the bony bridge. From there, slowly descend down into the river. Then, swim straight right of the waterway, and stay in that direction. From then on, keep swimming straight, and in little than 5-10min, you'll quickly reach the island! You're welcome, imperials!

"Plays Skyrim - Spends time finding exploits" Sounds about like me in Skyrim and Fallout. I enjoy finding glitches, bugs, and exploits in Bethesda games for some reason. Like, I spent ages exploring once I found out how to jump over the Whiterun wall and end up in the low-detail world. Went over to Oblivion's area and found the tower and whatnot. Was fun. I've also used a book-dupping glitch to get an extra copy of some one-of-a-kind quest book since I'd have to turn it in and lose it once I was done. I was all into collecting books, and I didn't want to lose it. As long as it's not game-breaking, causing crashes and keeping me from finishing things, then I don't mind bugs. I actually enjoy them. Even things like infinite money glitches. It's not hurting anyone being there, so why not. If someone wants to glitch themselves infinite money, let 'em.

[@zegirdor]

But you don't need to break Buggesda games. They break themselves.

[@juliejay5436]

Wouldn't mind having an infinite money glitch in real life... Cool!

[@DuhNoU]

But people start to use glitches in online games afterwards wich is sad and annoying

[@andrugsbeat]

i cry evertim... This video is gold!

[@Ultima72]

Why's there a landscape there? And the black gates of mordor?

[@Farmerjoe999888777]

What am I looking at at 1:30

[@SirCaco]

+Farmerjoe999888777 A floating island.

[@VashStampede81]

I found this long ago. You can get all the way to Whiterun by running up the hill to the right of the entrance, exiting through the small hole at the top of the ridge, then going left to the ocean once you make it across to the next mountain range. Swim all the way out to the ocean to the very bottom of the playable map,until you glitch into the sky on some sort of weird sky tile that is clear and square. Then use the invisible squares that float above the water to run all the way west till you are at the center of the map. Coincidentally when running on the invisible squares, if you fall in the water you will reset to the top of the playable game area. Whiterun is merely a collection of lit up night time windows on the PS3, and is floating inside the ocean next to a large black tower that you can get to the top of by going underneath, then glitching to the top. Just keep checking your map as it still works and you should have no trouble getting around. I also wanted to challenge everyone in the game who kept telling me I could only enter or leave on the dragon and this is how I originally found it, lol.

[@ultimaIXultima]

well done. i remember doing stuff like this in WoW... ahh, memories :P

[@sababibilashvili5434]

so the dovakiin is actually the ozakkiin (goat born)

I wish someone would re-do this and upload a longer video now that it's 2017. I'm surprised no one else has done this

[@PersonageEnigmatic]

It looks like Hammerfell but it cant be...

[@ThereMayBeLions]

Design test for ES VI

[@rtplays7032]

Massive Plot Twist: You were dead the entire game of hammerfell because its actually in sovngarde

[@ThereMayBeLions]

Thatd be the best subplot in the Elder Scrolls series...ever...

[@cubeson4168]

So, Sovngard and Hammerfell are the same thing?

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

Who knows, keep walking and youll reach Oblivion

[@stipe5000]

Woah the creators really went far with this landscape to make sure you have something to see even if you pass the barrier.

[@CiprianHanga]

I never seen such obsession since the GTA3's search of the Ghost Town. Getting there was like an achievement in itself.

[@ILCOVERU]

Poor maltub3. You're playing on the PC and you don't know the tcl command. Using it would've saved you hours of work XD

Imagine seeing a lurker there from a distance, feeding on a corpse. I would have crapped in my pants.

[@guilhermecosta27]

So that is the place that Gandalf told Pippin about. You know, the long-shores-after-death

[@potbellypig346]

i once held the analog stick in place with a hair elastic to make myself continue walking forward when i was there... if u look far in the distance, there are more towers, and it takes hours and hours to get there. i left myself walking overnight and walked so far that sovngarde disappeared in the distance. then i walked all the way back. i dont think it ever ends.

[@Maeve_Rose]

internet tough guy its how the gamebryo engine works. when you reach the edge of the "map" it continues to repeat flat blank tiles for you to go into.

[@matteoide4925]

That was actually disturbing, especially the suicide part.

[@Maverickzc]

cool man! i like the song..

[@gorillafoam]

If anyone was wondering, the reason they put this in is so that on the map you would see some terrain outside of the parts where you're supposed to go. Because otherwise you'd just see a floating island on the map. And they were bored.

[@Websterclause]

Haha. I couldn't resist doing the same in Oblivion as well :)

[@Xerdas33]

[@Kingopersia]

[@minecraftrulessodoesterrer1639]

[@BeccaSue]

There is a easier way to get down under sovngarde in the water. Go to the start of the left side of the dragon bridge and slowly drop your self down the mountain. :) No need to go through all the mountains!

[@Tomjames87919]

It's like hermaeus moras realm, o lord I have to rethink my life

[@w0lffang]

Skyrim and Cyrodill, Hammerfel, Eslwyre, blackmarsh, high rock and technically morrowind are all one big continent island called Tamriel. The planet is named Nirn, there is a book [Songs of the Return] in Skyrim that tells of the Nords comming by boat from an island far to the north called Atmora and landing on Skyrims coast. I hope that helps answer your question.

[@Waltrob1]

I followed the coast around to the north east and ended up finding a large bay, eventually I managed to loop round the mountains and reached the pass leading to Riften. Pretty desolate area

[@lakarichapter]

I came upon something similar to this in the world-eaters eyrie quest, it was never ending water that only went up to my knees, and theirs this giant black wall just sitting their...kinda creepy.

[@ForzaEnforcer]

I get that too sometimes, once I followed a video on how to get out of the map in Need for Speed Carbon, and I spent about half an hour driving in air at night with just a black void below me, then I found an unfinished canyon road, it was really creepy.

[@Dragon10526]

that tip at 0:39 Having dragon and climbing goat blood xD

[@Heroinator]

you can do this outside of the main quest-line they forgot to barrier off a large open area similar to that far southwest which is empty except for some asset changes

[@JotalianLeague]

Maybe the pillars at 3:00 is an Inception reference? From when they are at the beach and they destroy huge buildings by knocking down the sand castle?

[@heavenlyflowerdemon]

Sovngarde's music is quite awesome.

[@JeremyredlinuxRoberts]

When game makers make the game they designate parts of the maps that are hidden and place basic objects for UV unwrapping and texturing. They what you see in the game is polished forms of these objects that have all the modifiers and textures applied to them. Items such as trees and leaves are not individually modeled they are instead modeled off map and applied as particle systems. Great video though thumbs up.

[@M4RC05V1N1C1U5]

The CODE always create its own Heaven...

[@nachoman7864]

I hope there is a game where you can play and do quests throughout all of tamriel, that would be epic

[@23masterlamp]

I always love that music

[@irou95]

This is what gamers love: play without the rules go out of boundaries. I love when it is possible to find some things like this those high "buildings" look so impressive a lot more scary than any of the dragons or ulfric stormcloak

[@smutsigare]

4:44 in Oblivion and fallout you can save right before you land, when you load the save you land safe and no damage taken.

[@pirosith]

Very cool! So I'm guess this was some sort of a practice area while they were making the game? Great music choice too!

[@beterbomen]

I imagine that's the hell to Sovngarde's heaven.

[@sirbigbolter4200]
