SKYRIM NECROMANCY ONLY CHALLENGE IS BROKEN - Skyrim is a Perfectly Balanced game with no exploits

note that one of those hats is a glowing crown in a land where magic is a thing... this isn't even the most broken exploit of this game, and it's very time-consuming(and relatively risky) to get your hands on the relic, but the end result is an everlasting immortal army that keeps on growing so there is no counterplay to this except using another exploit(like the infinite power of Riano Keeves, achieved by exploiting potions and enchanting loops)

Add Ahzidal's Ring of Necromancy from the Unearthed quest on Solstheim, and any time a resurrected thrall you create takes damage and they explode for 50 points of frost damage. Just imagine a hoard of undead falling like this, and you are just decimating anything that gets in your way.

I finally realized why I enjoy these videos so much. They're structured like an excellent stand-up routine. You get your little chuckles in with the relatively easy-to-access cheese, like just waiting 24 hours after a fight to resurrect all your dudes *and* all their dudes. Then it gets into the meat of the routine, where you get a bunch of story that pulls you in. It might not be laugh after laugh, but it's still an entertaining lead-in. And then *WHAM* you're hit with the punchline, where everything's broken and the points don't matter. It takes 30 minutes for Spiff to get to a conclusion I knew before I started the video and I still a) watched the whole thing, and b) laughed out loud when it all broke. That's some good storytelling (and editing - always thank the editor).

If you use the restoration loop/exploit it actually amplifies the ritual stone effect. Granting a much much much wider area of effect but most importantly, making the corpse fight for you for 15283839163toomuch16615 seconds

[@yuvalron324]

Can you explain

[@Death_by_Kim_Yoohyeon]

@@yuvalron324 well the restoration glitch is that when you improve your restoration skill it also improves all your skills for some reason. So you use the exploit of crafting gear that buffs your alchemy to then create stronger enchanting potions , repeat process till you get potions that improve your enchanting of like 5000% + to create alchemy enchanted gear to create potions of restoration that improved said skill 125163% + so after that when you pop said potion before using the Ritual Stone power it makes its aera of effect 125163% wider and duration also. So you basically can reanimate everything you killed on the whole damn map ( almost ) and have them fight for you for like over 1000 in game hours. When they die you just repeat process and reanimate them again. You can also use this restoration with spells like Flame Aura , when combined with the exploit, the moment you activate it, you are basically a nuclear bomb that blows up, lets say you go in a dungeon, as soon as you walk in, pop the potion then hit Flame Aura and instantly everything hostile in the whole dungeon is dead.
