Fun fact:if you open your map while falling down the tunnel in Kagrenzel, you'll see whale bones which leads to the theory that it was a flying whale sanctuary
Pinewatch isnt necessarily a secret location unless youre doing the jobs for the thieves guild, 5 jobs in markarth gives you the quest to retrieve a silver mold from said dungeon
Also, most of the locations in the video are readily available on the map at some point, some are even part of major quests... They don't even talk about the crime scene with the incompetent thalmor and the talos worshipers in lake ilintalta...
and the grand souls (if my memory is correct) can only be harvested from mammoths (or mammoths are the easiest creatures to harvest it from) plus you get a priestess of Azura as a follower, witch is nice if you like the female dunmer voice and having a mage for a companion. but lets be honest, it;s easier to kill a mangey bandit, maybee if we got hired thugs flavored as Azura cultists showing up to ruin (or make) your day would be a fitting punishment, and hey! that's also express delivery for soul gem recharges!
This should have been titled "8 Skyrim locations that everyone ends up visiting sooner or later just by playing the game, 1 location that is unknown unless you explore and 1 secret location that really is secret"
The morgue doesn't just contain everyone you've killed, it contains every named character that died for whatever reason. One use for this is if some NPC died in a dragon attack or something and you need them for a quest, you can go to the morgue and (again with console commands) prid them and resurrect them.
Thumbs down to devs for not having a master level resurrection spell in the restoration school along with anyone can die permanently being apart of survival... including the player. One save loaded once every 24 hours, upon death its deleted and game restarts. Makes players realize normal isn't even close to easy you just got used to respawn
There's a Nirnroot farm in Skyrim; Sarethi Farm, in the Rift... north of Treva's Watch(the fortress you have to sneak in and open the gates) Avursa Sarethi grows them.. you can gather and sell them(I'd recommend you hold on them... and give to Ingun Black-Briar because she wants 20 Nirnroots)
7:30 Speaking of puzzle, I remember there's another dungeon with interesting one. I believe it's nordic ruin in west side haarfingar. The puzzle needs us to solve the clue about food pyramid chain or something between snake, fox, wolf, and bear. It's interesting.
@@donehole Ah, you're right, on the way to dragon priest. Yup, it's really good. Honestly, I messed up between the snake and fox for the clue "the one that eats another" or something. I thought the snake is the one eating the fox. Lol. It took me maybe hour. I refused to search for tutorial. Because it was too good to be missed. But the feeling after solving it, it's so satisfying. Yeah, I really miss that kind of puzzle in Skyrim.
I haven't actually entered Volskygge for a long time. I generally take the fairly easy climb to the top, get the word, fight the dp and walk back down again. The only reason to go in is to get the loot from the boss chest which doesn't contain anything unique.
@@jimcalhoun361 Me either. I do generally like to beat up on the draugr death lord inside because they also fill Grand Soul Gems, not just mammoths. Deathlords are without doubt the best way to fill up the Grands.
There are three things that make pinewatch easily findable. One a thieves guild quest will take you there. Two a B. Stone is there. And finally three if you had the customizable house DLC, your mansion that you could customize is literally just around the corner.
Yeah.. haven't watched the video yet, and the comments have me raising my eyebrow. Cause like you said, Pinewatch is anything but a secret location. fd missed the Memo of what makes a place a Secret location XP . It'd be a place with NO Quests linked to it, either just ONE or no NPCs whatsoever giving mention to it, and to make it a truly secret location, it's not exactly easy to find.
@@neoanimefreak_7606 A real secret location is the dwarven ruins way up high on the far right mountains near Riften. The one that drops you basically deep into the mountain itself.
@@neoanimefreak_7606 Sorry, let me explain: The place is called “Kagrenzel” and there are no quests (to my knowledge) that will take you there. For all intents and purposes it’s as hidden a “location” as you can get. Due to the fact that there is only one hidden path up there. You probably could try the old Goatborn trick of scaling the mountain but you’d have to know where it is ahead of time, because the compass barely picks it up.
This game still has stuff I've never seen! Sometimes I wish I had taken even more time to let some of the areas sink in and really explore when I played it for the first time.
@@Nami8302_OwONo one said it didn't, you're not correcting anyone. All that was said was that the Black Star can absorb humanoid souls while Azura's Star won't. If you wanted to "Uhm Actually" legitimately you could have mentioned that giants are humanoids and yet their souls fit in Azura's Star unlike, say, a human's soul.
I always look out for this type of videos to see if there’s anything left for me to do or explore in my game, but I think I did and know pretty much everything lol
There's an unmarked location in Lake Illinata near the westernmost hunting camp/fishing spot. A sunken rowboat with a boss chest. I almost always get it right after Bleakwind before returning the Golden Claw to Lucan
Been everywhere but the dead room.Yngol Barrow might be the oldest Nord building in Skyrim from the book lore.My guess is Kagrenzal is an unfinished elevator to Blackreach though what the orb is,who knows.You did miss Lucky Lorenz's cabin and the Abandoned Prison,both of which you have to stumble over.You also didn't include some of the Solstheim oddities.
number 1 pinewatch cabin...literally looting it as i listen to the video, not for the thieves guild just cause i found a locked door and thought no one locks me out
Skyrim is already for many years a fascinating game... I'm playing the VR version for the second time, a little modded to make it look better. Love to find out these secret places. Though I already found the star... thanks for the many interesting tips.
One thing about going to pinewatch is that if you go there and grab the silver candle mold before doing the thieves guild quest you won't be able to finish the quest it's really annoying so if you plan to join the thieves guild avoid pinewatch for now or at least don't grab the silver candle mold yet.
Same thing goes for the missing instruments for the Bards College. You will get a quest saying to find the owner, but it's bugged and you can't complete it.
I knew about all but one. Even after playing for 8 years and exploring what I thought was 100% of the map there's still stuff to discover. it's amazing.
There are a lot of unmarked locations in the game that 99% of players have probably never found. (I was unaware of the hidden room in Pinewatch, but have found most of the rest of these in my time in the game).
@@erwaldox The location is easy to find, but I've never had reason to enter it (and afaik it's locked all the time anyways and considered trepassing to be in there). So anyone that plays a law abiding style wouldn't enter it in the first place.
So a tip/ exploit involving the breakable soul gem quest! If you want to level up your speech easily, speak to Nelacar. Once it gives you the options to persuade, bribe, or intimidate you will want to hit the intimidate option. As soon as you hit the intimidate option, back out of the conversation. You will be able to do this as much as you like and easily level up Speech.
In solstheim there was. Between the reikling mead hall and the bandit camp is a location that looks like an cave entrance with a gate and closed so. Jumping around and jump over it youll get a lot of gold and gold ore with a little story to the body lyingnext to it
You got Azura's Star/Black Star backwards. Azura's star is the one that can only hold the souls of animals and undead. The Black Star was only meant to hold the souls of living people but, you're correct about this much, purportedly due to a bug it can hold any soul.
I remember coming across Pinewatch with my friend on my first playthrough. Must memorable part of that dungeon was the bucket of wine at the foot of the bookshelf once you've pressed the button. We affectionately refer to it as "the beer dungeon" after that, and now it's just a staple location for me to loot after leaving Helgen. I'm sure it's the same for others that had no clue what it's purpose was as well lol.
Lakeview Manor is a short hike from Pinewatch, AND, Pinewatch is actually visible from the Hearthfire home in speaking. It's not really hidden, and to boot, does have a map marker.
If i remember right, only Man and Mer have dark souls and they are 'grand' and stored in black-soul gems, probably Argonian and Khajiit too, but not the devolved Falmer, probably due to whatever the Dwemer or the glowing mushrooms did to them.
Nope, that is Thorvald's Cave, in the same mountain area. To find Kagranzel you go uphill from the dungeon with the crazy Redguard lady who who wants to resurrect her death (and cremated!) husband. Luah al Scaven I think her name is. Lots of necromancers (no armor) to remove to get to her.
Dont forget the diamonds of Kagrenzel, they are usually found in the overhead lintels. You can shoot them loose with arrows. If you use your shout, that would also work but the loot gets scattered all over and even behind clipping faults, so that is not the best idea!
I remember when I first discovered Pinewatch. Ever since then I always wished as the player I could purchase it as a player home and live there with the amazing secret passage. Then I found out you could have a house with a secret room and I quickly beelined to purchase it, only to find out that is all it is, a little panic room. I want the large underground village and treasure room Pinewatch has to offer not a little dinky panic room, lol!
One place that I didn't know existed for the longest time was Arcwind Point. I got a quest from the Greybeards to go there for a word of power, but I could never figure out how to actually get there until I found an out of the way passage to get there. It has high level draugrs and a dragon with the Drain Vitality word.
Pro tip for the black star: when Nelacar has you go into the gem to kill the guy, dont. Just keep following him and killing his dremora for free daedra hearts. There is a limit but its worth getting all of them before you kill him since you get pulled out right after you do
I remember when I came across the row boat with the gems on my play through I discovered it by chance was excited for it cause I got more loots and now is one of my places to go for when I need gems
*Kagrenzel* i found that place at the top of the stream in *Stony* *Creak* *Cave* and explored from the bottom.. wasn't until much later in the game that i found the glowing orb trap chamber, fell from the top and revisited once more..
Ienith, not Lenith. BTW, just a notable tidbit of info, "coc" in the code stands for "center on cell" which tells the game which interior cell area you want it to respond to or focus on.
kagrenzel i imagine would be some form of protective area/ bunker. hte orb scans to see if you are worthy of shelter, if you are it lets you in, if not it seals you out and kills you
Aela send me to Yngols Barrow once when I did the Companion Quests. At around level 12ish that Draugr at the end was no joke. In fact I used Console Commands to kill him because he had an Ebony Sword and two (one with Power Attacks) shot me.
a nifty trick i found: if you go back to the Greybeards and talk to Arngeir, you can ask him "have you found any words of power?" he will then give you a "miscellaneous quest" that leads to a "word wall" that teaches you a new "shout word". you can do this many times, BUT, there's a glitch, the Wall at "Arcwind Point" way to the south won't register as complete, so that "quest" can't be completed... or so i though, YESTERDAY i actually got the game to count that one as "complete" by finding a different one, i think it was the one near "Northwind"! quite strange... PS; for some reason there are two "shouts" with the SAME NAME, "drain vitality". i believe that's because one was added as part of the "Dawnguard" expansion. why do i think that? because one of the words is found in the same cave where you first meet Serana, the friendly vampire! edit: every "shout" has THREE words, the one you mentioned in #6 is another word of that same "shout"!
congratulations, i missed the row boat even after all this time! you didn't mentioned the extra unmarked mission from the candle stick mold, why not? (it belongs to the silver smith in markarth, for some reason i have been unable to give it back in some some)
I've only gotten about 5 hours into Skyrim along time ago and so I'm starting another playthrough and I'm so hooked! It's making me neglect my wife and children a little bit lol...thanks for the videos
I swear I'll give everithing I own in a heartbeat to experience the joy of discovering skyrim again. I love those types of videos that give small and missable hidden lore and depth but I'm at my 1100th hour of skyrim now and I'm not finished trying new adventures but I just know everything. The first time I tried the legendary difficulty I spent 4h with the help of a friend just to go through bleak falls barrow and abandonned the Idea of that difficulty right after, now even the master difficulty is too easy to overcome. And for fuck sake I want to meet Jordis the Sword-Maiden again !
I have been to all of these except your quasmoke one, but that is because I use a console and can't use pc command. I think the lower part of Frostflow Lighthouse deserved a spot on here or the sink hole location. Otherwise a pretty good list.
Been playing the game since it came out and I only once nearly found all locations. 95%ish complete of finding locations before I had to put it down for a couple of weeks. Lmao
Qasmoke saved me after i sold my thieves guild armor to the same person who then refused to speak to me until i gave her thieves armor... i couldn't find any guild armor to upgrade. 😅
This game has been around for a long time now, I literally have not missed any of this stuff and I doubt anyone still playing after all this time has either.
A crucial mistake about white and black souls. Also, as far as I remember, black soul gems can really hold any soul, be it an animal or a humanoid (may be mistaken but quite sure), and regular can only hold white (non-humanoid) souls.
Dude, I have an interesting fact for your videos from the episode "Everyone Missed": You wake up in a carriage, then they want to cut off your head, and then a dragon appears. Try! You're missing out on this!
Fun fact:if you open your map while falling down the tunnel in Kagrenzel, you'll see whale bones which leads to the theory that it was a flying whale sanctuary

It’s worth mentioning that, within Pinewatch Hideout, one of the Barenziah stones can be found in the Bandit Sanctuary level.
Nirnroot actually grows back just like every other plant in Skyrim

Some lore expert's have said that Kagrenzel used to be a flying whale storage, they also said it could have been full of water.
It’s probably to do with flying whales going extinct.

BTW, just a notable tidbit of info, "coc" in the code stands for "center on cell" which tells the game which interior cell area you want it to respond to or focus on.
There's a Bandit Camp in a shallow cave in the hill that Whiterun sits on. It's got a bunch of loot and a horse you can steal
When your collecting gems in the rowboat, I am quite certain there is also a chest on the riverbed nearby
I don’t see how anybody missed that first one.
Ah yes, everyone’s missed one of the most popular fights in the Forgotten Veil..
"You can get a wildly powerful item - An UNBREAKABLE Soul Gem!!!"
"And then go inside, to find the BROKEN Soul Gem..."
kagrenzel i imagine would be some form of protective area/ bunker. hte orb scans to see if you are worthy of shelter, if you are it lets you in, if not it seals you out and kills you
Aela send me to Yngols Barrow once when I did the Companion Quests. At around level 12ish that Draugr at the end was no joke. In fact I used Console Commands to kill him because he had an Ebony Sword and two (one with Power Attacks) shot me.
a nifty trick i found:
if you go back to the Greybeards and talk to Arngeir, you can ask him "have you found any words of power?"
he will then give you a "miscellaneous quest" that leads to a "word wall" that teaches you a new "shout word".
you can do this many times, BUT, there's a glitch, the Wall at "Arcwind Point" way to the south won't register as complete, so that "quest" can't be completed...
or so i though, YESTERDAY i actually got the game to count that one as "complete" by finding a different one, i think it was the one near "Northwind"!
quite strange...
PS; for some reason there are two "shouts" with the SAME NAME, "drain vitality".
i believe that's because one was added as part of the "Dawnguard" expansion.
why do i think that? because one of the words is found in the same cave where you first meet Serana, the friendly vampire!
edit: every "shout" has THREE words, the one you mentioned in #6 is another word of that same "shout"!
congratulations, i missed the row boat even after all this time! you didn't mentioned the extra unmarked mission from the candle stick mold, why not? (it belongs to the silver smith in markarth, for some reason i have been unable to give it back in some some)
I've only gotten about 5 hours into Skyrim along time ago and so I'm starting another playthrough and I'm so hooked! It's making me neglect my wife and children a little bit lol...thanks for the videos
I make the Nord Hero Arrows, but they can only be made at the Skyforge. I was able to do this after completing the Companions questline.
9:30 you got that backwards, animals have white souls, NPCs (people) have black souls.
I swear I'll give everithing I own in a heartbeat to experience the joy of discovering skyrim again. I love those types of videos that give small and missable hidden lore and depth but I'm at my 1100th hour of skyrim now and I'm not finished trying new adventures but I just know everything. The first time I tried the legendary difficulty I spent 4h with the help of a friend just to go through bleak falls barrow and abandonned the Idea of that difficulty right after, now even the master difficulty is too easy to overcome. And for fuck sake I want to meet Jordis the Sword-Maiden again !
I have been to all of these except your quasmoke one, but that is because I use a console and can't use pc command. I think the lower part of Frostflow Lighthouse deserved a spot on here or the sink hole location. Otherwise a pretty good list.
wicked pipes bro, that voice makes my pores excited
Laughs in 15k Skyrim hours. Nice little video though, some of these places I haven't been to in a long time. Actually forgot about a couple of them.
Pinewatch definitely caught me off guard
Been playing the game since it came out and I only once nearly found all locations. 95%ish complete of finding locations before I had to put it down for a couple of weeks. Lmao
I'm addicted to your videos
Correction: Black souls are from humanoids, white souls from animals, Black Star is much better.
Yisra rolled a zero when casting that Flamecloak spell. Poor, poor Yisra.
Qasmoke saved me after i sold my thieves guild armor to the same person who then refused to speak to me until i gave her thieves armor... i couldn't find any guild armor to upgrade. 😅
The insane luck of me accidentally siding with Nelacar is crazy😂
You know you played too much Skyrim when you watch "10 Locations the everyone missed" and go "Oh, this one" every single time...
9:14 It is the other way around.
This game has been around for a long time now, I literally have not missed any of this stuff and I doubt anyone still playing after all this time has either.
A crucial mistake about white and black souls. Also, as far as I remember, black soul gems can really hold any soul, be it an animal or a humanoid (may be mistaken but quite sure), and regular can only hold white (non-humanoid) souls.
fun fact: if you have lvl 100 smithing you can forge ancient nord armour and weapons, however they MUST be crafted at the SKYFORGE.
Apparently Pinewatch wasn't secret enough as I had to take out it's leader for the Dark Brotherhood and did it while she was sleeping too.
Dude, I have an interesting fact for your videos from the episode "Everyone Missed": You wake up in a carriage, then they want to cut off your head, and then a dragon appears. Try! You're missing out on this!
11 years of playing Skyrim, I've forgotten more places than most players have been to 😂😂😂
01 pine watch cabins is actually a thieves guild quest for Markarths thieves guild influence
i wanna know what mods you have running cause YOUR GAME LOOKS BEAUTIFUL
Yizra must have been practicing magic that was forbidden in the college like Harry Potter did in the 5th movie
Fun fact: If you do Dawnguard before Dragon Rising, the two dragons down spawn in.
Be cool if the falmer eyes contained all the souls of snow elves.. and if the dwarves cores were each separate soul.
Bro 10 isn't that secret install the cheat room mod and you'll find it including a button that gives you all shouts even ones you can't learn
