Imagine failing so hard at brawling someone that you chase them throwing punches throughout the entire town and they don't even acknowledge your existence. How demoralizing.
So, basically anyone trying to punch Baki hanma or his dad
@@novavoltik1289 lol nice reference
Having whole ass conversations while you slowly grow more exhausted wailing on him. Must feel like a failure tbfh
Vldl's "attacked during a cutscene" is basically this lol
Flats trying to beat up SpongeBob be like^
I feel like if any run should have kept the dragonborn's name as "Prisoner" it was this one.
Missed opportunity
That's what happened to my first character, I just ran with it.
@@SujammaTheWizardsame lol
Local prisoner saves the world with his trusty rusty toothbrush.
No only toothbrush, so I looked up what ya can make a shiv out of so YOU don't have to, a couple pieces of linoleum glued together, a nail on a piece of wood, a hacksaw blade, a piece of steel of course, plexiglass, plastic spoon, etc.
@m Ya . . . your right, lol.🤣Hey, no shive emoji, ha ha.
Equipped with a weaponized toothbrush and a dream!
Huge missed chance by not enchanting one of your Shivs with ice and naming it "Shivver".
Well Nerbit doesn't usually do enchants on the weapons because it kinda makes the run invalid. (I'm an idiot, don't mind me)
He literally enchants his shiv with lighting in the video.
@@HeisBeppo these runs are kind of ruined when you realize you can just abuse the Smithing - Alchemy - Enchantment loop to get million damage Super weapons that one shot everything in the game.
@GenericWhiteMale Eh that's fair, I'm not the biggest fan of that either, but I try not to let stuff like that mess with my enjoyment of the video. Or the ability to make terrible puns!
Never before would I think to see Beppo on a Skyrim related video
If the Dragonborn can't shiv and shank his way to heroism, is he really the Dovahkin?
True
Fusrohdah-shank redemption
@@toastboast1368 I was thinking shiv-shake redemption🤣🤣
Roast gets it.. Lmao
Claws are the natural weapons of dragons. Similarly, is there a fire magic only run?
The shiv actually has one more advantage. It's small enough to hide away on your body. You could always swing a pickaxe into someones face. But people tend to see that coming.
This is a very valid point IRL
Ayyyy
I see what you did there
I mean usually a pickaxe isn't seen as a murder weapon lol so it'd be as surprising when that sharp end hits your face out of nowhere lol
can i get a joke explainer
Alduin's lack of aggression may have been because you depleted his magica. Dragons need magica to shout, for some reason
He didnt really bite either, and dragons dont need magicka for bite attacks. Basically to win ANY dragon fight is to get anything that reduces their magicka
This is because dragon shouts *for* dragons count as spells.
@@TheNNI wonder how much magicka a shout takes up
@@jesper7993 Mechnically none. Lore-wise/in-universe, no idea.
@@TheNN Lorewise, also none. It's Thu'um, not magic.
Honestly, the Shiv is such a poorly introduced weapon. If it had a special stat like being kept in your inventory when you’re arrested, or being able to sneak attack other NPCs from any direction regardless of wether they can see you or not. It could be a much better weapon if it only had something that made it unique.
Fun fact, the random Embassy prisoner joins the Thieves Guild if you set them free
Well he already was part of the thieves guild lol. The Thalmor kidnapped him to try and get Esbern's location out of him.
@@Kjf365I remember doing a double take the first time I joined the guild, after doing the embassy. Was not expecting him at all.

Great video
Nerbit,this was quite the display of Shivalry.
"Alvar snitched - Alvar paid the price"
Goblet the Shivver
"Snitches get... shiv... ves. Yeah that."
- Also Goblet
Fun fact, during several points of the Markarth Conspiracy quest, you can return to the quest giver to tell him things and he’ll pay you. The game never tells you that you can do this and it can’t happen after he’s been murdered, so it’s a semi-hidden cool thing.
I feel that being able to enchant a shiv was a reason why it wasn't a totally useless weapon.
they removed that function afaik
Wait so we can't enchant it?
What do you mean they removed it?
@@HerohammerStudios Maybe in unofficial community bugfix mod. They removed restoloop too. Luckyly i had found a patch for that stupid removal. They should focus on fucking bugs as we all know there is enough of those in bethesda games, not stuff that you decide to do but can ruin your game (for me it revitalized skyrim as without restoloop and shitton of mods that game is mediocre garbage and im still angry how they castrated Nords [for some reason the only race i can play for extended periods of time since Morrowind. I also tried argoninas but it just burns me out too fast. So Skyrim was like a return to home but bethesda and Todd THE LIAR Howard ruined that.]).
What do you mean they removed it? on a blank syrim instalation without mods you can certainly enchant a shiv. (I specifically installed skyrim on my laptop just to have a blank test system to test your claim and it was 100% possible to enchant shivs)
@@xxXXRAPXXxx yeah they definitely didn't fix it. Just tried it in AE on the Switch
Can you beat Skyrim without recieving damage?
Without *dealing* damage?
Most of the game, yes. The dragonborn has to be the one to lay the final strike on Alduin in the final battle
Ymfah did a no damage skyrim run. It is possible up until the final Alduin battle.
No damage pacifist run?
Ah, the godless pacifist approach.
Blacksmith; “Looking to protect yourself, or deal some damage?”
Dragonborn; “No”
Blacksmith; “I’m sorry, what?”
Dragonborn; “No, we don’t do that here.”
Blacksmith; “So what are you here for!?”
Dragonborn; *plops down metals* “I want you to make a sculpture of a sword and shield, defence and offence.”
No joke that New Vegas underwater run sounds amazing, how would you even do that? Put the whole world under water or the run. Here's hoping that gets fixed :)
Wouldn't putting the world underwater just k every npc
@@robertst.pierre1341 Gotta move fast, then, since I assume people would only drown while actually loaded in.
...Or the mod also does something to alleviate the whole "constant drowning" thing.
@@robertst.pierre1341 hard to say, water logic in games can be jank.
Some "all underwater" mods for GTA can kill everyone in seconds, or turns all of LS into Atlantis.
Meanwhile in subnautica if you remove all the water then the fish and leviathans still swim like normal, but crafting mats and the player sink straight down.
@@Zenoferrum Well you have to remember that NV uses the Creation Engine, there's a couple bugs right here and some broken scripts right there.
@@scyobiempire4450 like I said. Water logic in games is just plain jank. Even if its the creation engine or not some weird stuff is bound to happen when you place/remove water from where it should or shouldn't be.
Something I've wondered about is if would be possible to beat a fallout game without gaining or losing any karma during the entire playthrough. Eliminates a bunch of quests, dialogue choices, stealing, etc.
Fallout 3 is out because you can’t complete Tranquility Lane without gaining/losing karma.

3:59 I love the neat fact the guy they just killed in cold blood to mask corruption is revived as undead in the backround.
Never change Skyrim.
Some advice:
The Destruction perks Augmented Flames/Frost/Shock affect weapon enchantments. The Chaos enchantment (which can sometimes be bought from merchants on Solsteim) is boosted by all three perks. Meaning Chaos Shivs would deal good damage even with little investment.
The Bashing perks in the Block tree can be used with a weapon in one hand and nothing in the other. Power Bash, Deadly Bash, and Disarming Bash can be very effective, even with a shiv.
Chaos is guaranteed on the hammer the undead general uses in the ash born quest. It's a unique weapon, but I'm pretty sure you can disenchant it unless I'm just remembering a mod.
You’re right - you definitely can disenchant the General’s war hammer.
It can show up randomly but it seems to be very, very rare. As the weapon itself is unique, I actually thought the Chaos enchantment was also unique and could only be obtained by acquiring the hammer and then disenchanting it.
I was just writing a comment about the Chaos thing too!
The Illusion perk Aspect Of Terror augments fire spells and the Fire Damage enchantment actually compounds the effects of other enchantments though not as significantly as Chaos does.
The Chaos Damage enchantment also compounds the effects of enchantments belonging to other schools like Turn Undead, Expel Daedra, Fear and Paralysis.
The Turn Undead one becomes more than strong enough to make even the high level Deathlords (especially the archers with matching Ebony bow and arrows that ragdoll you with the Unrelenting Force shout every few seconds) and Death Overlords flee from you.
Necromage perk in Restoration will definitely make it more potent but I don’t know if it’s actually necessary after combining with Chaos.
I’m not certain on this but I think you only need one school of magic reduced to 0 cost to use a weapon enchanted with different schools of magic without it’s charge depleting, as long as one of the schools the enchantment fails under is the one you have free use of. Could be wrong on this though.
0:23 The courier: Is drowning in the ocean
Also the courier: “You take a sip from your trusty vault 13 canteen…”
You think that's silly? There is an achievement in Terraria where you combat drowning damage by chugging a jar of water
I am very disappointed we didn't get an image of Zorro when you talked about tri-wielding shivs
Ah yes, the Silent build. Needs more shivs.
Also a quick note, I've noticed the in-game audio bits tend to be noticeably louder than you speaking. That giant attack dealt damage to me and you.
I understood that reference
I don't know what you're smoking, man, there was music put in but the game audio was muted.
I'm surprised you don't use the grindstone on Melee weapons during these restricted runs to squeeze out a bit more damage.
Don't think you can with shivs
@@takebacktherow last time I checked you can't if you could that would be a game changer also silver weapons
@@byronrush9802 Silver can be improved on the grindstone
@@Bubben246 as of anniversary edition yes you can improve it also silver armor and weapons
Nerbit really went out into the prison yard and ganked the largest person he could see.
When you eventually do the Can You Beat Skyrim as Abraham Lincoln video, you should not have the Lincoln beard at first but get via the Face Sculptor because Abraham Lincoln fact #9 Lincoln did not have his iconic beard until getting Elected as president
Addendum: The reason he got said beard was because a young woman spoke to him at one of his campaign rallies and simply said he would look better and more dignified with a beard.
Or, if you read a certain book, it was to hide a scar on his face from his vampire slaying exploits. Believe whichever you choose 😂
After watching this, I think the title could easily have been "Can you defeat Skyrim while shoulder-charging every NPC while they're talking?"
Love Fallout 4 with rocks. A mod lets you use older weapons and one from an older Fallout game was throwing rocks. They are pretty common
That or beat a Fallout game with only DLC weapons/beat all DLCs with other DLCs weapons (far harbor with automatron, nuka world with far harbor, etc)
The elder Scrolls London
How is this only Five likes?
Can you beat fallout new Vegas as Jack the Ripper
The British one or the Liberian one?
Katana and any Stealth Suit (Chinese Stealth Armor or the MkII Stealth Armor from Old World Blues), a weapon and armor restricted run.
@@AsassinoSilenzioso yes
@@AsassinoSilenzioso Nah just a guy named Jack who uses the Ripper weapon
@@sethgile7156 using a ripper would be more fitting
Fun fact, if you escape with Hadvar in the intro you can take the Iron and Steel ingots at Alvor's forge without stealing them.
One day, Nerbit will be so tired, because he will never be out of ideas, that he will release the No damage Fable run as a full video, it is his Hearth of his cards
If I do it's gonna be about 5 minutes, that challenge fell apart when I grabbed the physical shield spell
@@Nerbit13098 then, Can you beat Fable without buying equipment? That would exclude weapons and enchatments only
@@Nerbit13098 no damage Fable 1 with no spells
New idea, Can you beat Skyrim as a Vampire Lord. All combat must be done as a Vampire Lord or by using the vampiric drain spell.
or (for youtube clicks and meme potential) Can you beat Skyrim as Morbius
@@jordkells I think you mean MOBIUS
@@theorangegremlin334 nope
@@jordkells but mobius
@@theorangegremlin334 Do you even realize what he's referencing? Lol.
It's truly one of the movies of all time.
Im curious about the underwater run, how did you plan to do it? (Unless you are planning on doing it in the future, in which case no spoilers.)
You've probably gotten this suggested before, but what about beating skyrim with only atronachs? Play as a pure summoner. Start Breton to start with Summon Familiar, go to a ruin up in the north to get Flaming Familiar if you want, and just watch your summons do all the hard work. Not really a hard challenge I imagine, but it could be amusing.
That was pretty much my first time playing Skyrim. I wasn't very good at it, got the Sanguine Rose (or whatever Daedric weapon it was that summons), and every battle turned into "open door, summon creature inside room full of enemies, immediately close door, wait for screaming to stop, repeat if necessary". Any and all items looted from enemies were sold to buy more Soul Gems to recharge my nifty summon stick.
While sneaking and using dual wielding, you can tap m1 and m2 to hit simultaneously and the critical sneak attacks applies to both weapons
In the future I would recommend getting the Deathbrand armor set, you do have to be level 36 in order for the quest to proc but it is definitely worth it. If you do a little min-maxing it's an amazing armor set especially if you use the shout (I can't think of it's name atm)that increases your attack speed, it literally turns you into a blender.
I believe you mean Elemental.Fury?
Great Job on this, i enjoyed watching this at work! subscribed
When you were naming the Shock Shiv I was really hoping you would name it Statikk Shiv lol.
Difficult challenge for you: Can you beat Skyrim using only Potions? You MUST use a Long bow with Iron arrows or Iron dagger to administer the Poison you use.
Or one up that with the pickpocket perk. That could make it funny as I never actually used it and would love to know how it works
@@EagleEye-ie4vy It’s cool, and it works pretty well. However, if you restoloop the poisons to some astronomical number the percent chance to place is zero. But, if you play the game like a normal person it’s pretty amusing bahaha xD
That’s true…
But a very weak paralysis poison will almost always work with a decent pickpocket skill level and a couple of Fortify Pickpocket enchanted equipment or potions.
Once they’re climbing back to their feet, pickpocket them at this moment before they recover and even though it says the chance of success is 0% - 90% the actual chance is 100%
Now you can put OP poisons, weapons or whatever else you want to plant in their inventory or steal anything you want from them!
It’s a handy trick to steal large sums of money back from skill trainers.
You can Frenzy powerful NPC’s like this if you don’t want to poison a weapon to do it which might kill them (although this is a good trick for killing DB contracts without it being registered as a crime) or you want your target to create a huge drama and start fighting with everyone in sight.
There's practice arrows at some characters hut that deal 0 damage iirc.
So it still does the bow damage but it's better for this than iron
Riling up the Imperials and their supporters is always a good thing.
I enjoy how you don't use the restoration glitch, it takes up the fun out of these challenge videos completely.
The ultimate Nerbit challenge:
Can you beat New Vegas as an Omerta?
Must resolve the Omerta Quest however you see fit, provided it doesn't end in the destruction of the Omertas - How Little We Know
Can use the combat knife, .44 Magnum revolver, 9mm submachine gun, 10mm submachine gun, sawed-off shotgun or riot shotgun.
Can't deliberately kill other Omertas outside of quests like How Little We Know. Accidents happen, that shouldn't invalidate the run or anything.
Legion or House ending
Impossible! The lore of the Nerbit states the Omerta’s must be dealt with swiftly and mercilessly!
Actually I would love that though. ❤
A true man of his word. He butchered Markath at the end. Honor to your Ancestors, Shiv Warrior!
Being a vampire can add a 25% boost to your dual flurry skill if I remember correctly, you need to be at the third level of vampirism before you put your skill points into dual flurry for it to be effective though
👍 and video hadn't even started, because Nerbit and shiv run are too fun sounding. Had a quick lock up in mind for the weapon, but the low level approach is admittedly something I hadn't considered for some reason so thanks for reminding me why that thought was damn wrong. Gaming wisdom and comedy are well done again, I always enjoy your videos.
"But before they even knew it, I was out of town and hitching a ride on the back of a nearby cart..."
*Proceeds to climb into cart at Markarth after having escaped Riverwood.*
Always look forward to your updates 😀
Eventually Nerbits outros will be so fast it is essentially just a quick scream at the end of the video.
Nerbit will do a Dragonball Super power up to Super Saiyan.
Note that Z power ups would be longer than the actual video.
Glad I'm not the only one who saw you could improve and enchant a Shiv and then did.
Your content is nuts , ur gonna go far !!
if you wouldve SAVED Margeret, she wouldve given you a silver emerald necklace that you cant find on her corpse.
so yeah... you lost gold with your "loot both bodies" strat.
"...start my grand quest for the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Trademarked" killed me lmfao
I'm happy to see someone doing a entire run with only a shiv.

Outstanding. Loved seeing this playthrough. Here's a challenge for you: you have to beat the Skyrim main quest without weapons -- armor is ok, unarmed is ok and the flames spell is ok (or whatever default destruction spell you get depending on your chosen race) -- but you have to use Jordis as your follower. And once you get her as a follower, you can't do any offensive spell or attack in any form. Why? Because everyone seems to hate on her. Oh, and you have to play as a wood elf.
I'm curious how fast the shivs would be with Dual Flurry and all three words of Elemental Fury. Just max DPS.
One way ticket to finger cramps
I have never heard of the shiv in Skyrim, but judging by the intro, it's going to be absolutely brutal. Anyways have a nice day Nerbit, keep on making God like content.
You've missed out on some neat quests :3
@@MazeMaker4Life Neat quests, but given that you cant find shivs otherwise, Im not shocked. Kinda wished they made each prison have its own environment and quests like Cidna Mine, but the only one that WOULD is Windhelm with its arena, and that is just cut content

i rlly wanna see if he can beat skyrim with only shouts...i dont know if its possible to kill nothing before u kill a dragon though
You can, someone else made it past the first dragon without attacking.
You never need to explain playing an Orc. Their Rage is actually over powered and never falls off or is insanely niche like every other race feature
True, Argonians are always a safe bet as well as histskin heals you so fast that you may as well be invincible for a full minute lol
The spiffing Brit would like a word with you
It's almost Thanksgiving. Probably a good time for a can only heal with cannibalism fallout run
i always imagine the tales that are told abt the characters for these runs
“Ah yes, The Shiv Wielding Orc.”
After the pun about being shocked I got an ad for a phone charger and it made me laugh
Missed an opportunity to name them the shock shank and the shock shank redemption
Seems the Graybeard Gang and the Bladez teamed up to shiv Alduin in the prison showers
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for Nerbit to beat Fallout New Vegas with only a Flare Gun.
Everyone in Cidhna Mine wants a shiv. But then they immediately use magic and pickaxes to destroy you if provoked.
That's why magic is OP. You don't get disarmed when someone takes all your stuff
First time watching a Skyrim video, glad I am!
I'm so glad the algorithm blessed me with this channel.
I believe that was the fastest outro you've done so far xD
I’ve been waiting for this one for years….
11:05 “he was off like a rocket” fella was giving it stacks 😂
I laighed out loud at "Old Man Shouting Club"!
A few days back i had this idea and now its on my recomended
Thing that are funny to Nerbit:
- Dressing Jericho like Walter White
- Rustling people's jimmies
I love that you have weapon restrictive runs as a fall back
I love this, my first meme build in skyrim was on the xbox 360 and it was my furious shiv build, i had enchanted legendary shivs (they had the chaos enchantment as well as absorb stamina on one and absorb health on the other) i would use the elemental fury shout at the start of an encounter and everything would just melt (dual powerattacks spam) truly the funnest build I've used
What a good thing to watch while I "work"
Fun fact if you talk to Eltrys before going to the house and/or treasurey he will give you money for the info you have collected, would of been good money for potions
Also you don't need to go to the assains room if you go to Margaret's and vice versa unless you want the extra coin but it will only unlock the treasurey route I think
Hey great to see you again!
Alright, i was expecting a crossbow or a woodcutter's axe only, but this definitely caught me off guard
Ymfah already did "Bow" Only and Bow "Only". I'd be interested to see Can You Beat Skyrim with only tools (pickaxe and woodcutters axe, shovel too ig if you want Telekinesis)
Crossbow is just a bow run with some added flair, but you cant upgrade it outside of quests.
Woodcutters Axe was an idea I humored myself, but it seems like the woodcutter axe is treated differently than regular axes, and just like the pickaxe and shiv, wouldnt benefit from anything but Armsman perks.
When I did The Forsworn Conspiracy, I didn't realize I was supposed to be arrested to continue the quest, so I kept killing the guards that came after me. I figured they were all corrupt like the ones that murdered that guy to frame me. Next thing I knew, I had a 30,000+ bounty and was completely lost on what to do next. I ended up looking up the quest, learned I actually needed to go to prison, and then spent the next fifteen minutes running around the city trying to find a still living guard.
If you go back to Eltrys everytime you find new info he will pay you for each bit of it. If he dies before you talk to him he obviously can't. But you can loot his corpse if you have a companion, either tell them to loot him, or use a telekinesis glitch to drag his body to you.
7:29 you can run straight to the Whiterun Tower after you give the dragonstone to Farengar. You don't have to listen to Balgruuf, he just telepathically place the reward into your pocket.
Babe wake up new Nerbit just dropped
"I cant tri-wield weapons"
Sir, Tales of Majeyal would like a word with you.
I was hoping for this one
I have two challenges in mind that would prove rather interesting. One being rather tedious (unless you accept my easier mode option) and the other just being a bit more fun.
The first one is can you beat Skyrim only with shouts. Most shouts are very useful early game, but their damage pool drops fast once you start to level up. You are allowed to use a mod that reduces shout cool down to zero if you want, but if you're a mad lad that loves pain, the Amulet of Talos will help as well.
The second challenge is can you beat Skyrim with only Wabbajack (or other Daedric artifacts). I feel like Wabbajack would just be an insanely chaotic run that would be more fun than anything. It also has the added perk of doing crazy elemental damage to dragons and other bosses. So it wont be too irritating with its effects. I inserted other Daedric artifacts because the CC adds a bunch more like Goldbrand (its so good) and Umbra to name a few.
I hope you take this into consideration. I love your challenge vids and I hope you have an amazing rest of November.
I still hold out for a 'can you beat skyrim as a sith lord?'
