Aetherium Crown - Allows 2 Standing Stones to be active at a time.
Can be acquired by doing the quest 'Lost to the Ages" that is started when reading the book 'Aetherium Wars.' This book is found in various places, but mostly found near the crafting area of Fort Dawnguard.
Not sure if that was noted, I'm typing this while watching.
Unlucky Naariv I believe there's a glitch in where you can inherit the perks of the crown and not have to wear it (get 2 stones and wear a different circlet). I haven't played Skyrim for a while though,so this may be wrong
Yeah I accidentally figured that out. I have 4 stones active.
@@faaldeyra how??
@Windsnap13 I’ll have to go back and try it again. I haven’t played in a while LMAO
I got Skyrim on the Switch, started playin an hour ago so give me a bit
now you've taught me the steed stone exists. MOAR PLATES, BUCKETS, AND RANDOM CRAP, HOARDER AWAY
Preston Stallings 😂😂 same
Preston Stallings i only hoard the shitiest weapons and armor.😆
Play fallout 4 mate, THERES EVEN MORE SHIT TO TAKE!!!
YES! now everyone can get off my back about my hording
Hoarding gang rise up 😂😂😂
I managed to miss the first three standing stones...
Same I went to the bandit camp then hopped on a trail to a mine then the mine was right next to the village so I didn’t get to them until I had to go to Alduins wall
@@Starpanic i did to the very first day the game realised i walked to the east to much and followed my river cause i was stealing a fishers fish
Ouch
Lol same
Same, worst yet i missed it in vr, a device which helps you take in more of the environment
My personal favorite is The Steed, it gives you more room and basically negates any downsides of using Heavy Armor (unless you plan on sneaking a lot)
Dont it also effect sneaking? I recall the weight of the armor effect sneaking, thus this steed negates that too!
And I agree, it is awesome!
Really, really, really long name that is really pointless but you are still reading it The steed stone is kinda useless when you get far into the heavy armor tree and get the same thing without the 100 carry weight buff which isn't even that important by the time you can get the perk
@@secondandonly8032 Be careful with the Steed Stone, it my favorite however when you use Fortify Restoration potion that might allow you to carry 5000+ weight ... the Steed Stone is actually 100 times that weight which includes 100 times of stamina. I usually double enchant my armor with health and stamina. If I remove the Steed Stone by selecting another standing stone, I will die when I remove the armor. It like removing 100 times the amount stamina from your life force. Even though you might weigh less than 100lbs and carry weight is 300 ... by removing the Steed Stone after you have drank a powerful Restoration Potion, you will die when you remove whatever item you enchanted as stamina.
Theres really no need for the steed stone once you have a house
You can unlock skills that do the same thing
I like how you said College of Winterhold instead of just Winterhold...
Really, nobody cares about poor Winterhold...
Oliver Nutkins-Middleton it's 3 houses that's why. Even falkhreath has more people and buildings
College is the best if you play any kind of mage character
Oliver Nutkins-Middleton
Bruh ever Riverwood is bigger.
Winterhold has less walking guards than Riverwood
TheDonUrbas even warriors and archers because enchanting
"just keep in mind it can only be used once a day"
*Aetherial Crown has entered the chat*
*Ritual stone has entered the chat*
Oh lord
If you're playing survival mode, the steed stone is nearly essential.
Popdop007 there's another mode other than survival?
@@TheLifeLaVita What is it?
Popdop007 you mentioned it, I asked you lol
@@TheLifeLaVita Oh right, yeah there's normal skyrim and then there's survival mode which makes the game a lot more realistic
Popdop007 are you talking about playstyles or actual options?
Lord Stone plus Ritual stone using the Aetherial Crown is sick. Love having an army follow me. And when they die.....simply take the crown off and put it right back on and use the Ritual Stone power again. Repeat for badassery.
Will you're the best, man. You are rolling out these Skyrim guides at the same time as I'm playing it for the first time. You are the best. Keep up the good work.
I prefer the use of Atronach stone, the 50 extra mana allows the use of some higher mana cost spells at a lot lower levels. Also when you are a vampire with necromage perk in restoration, AND have the atronach perk in alteration, you get 100% spell absorption on DEFAULT.
also great to cheese up restoration levels at throat of the world with a couple rubber bands
HORRIOR I'm pretty sure magic resistance caps at 85%. I don't think the game lets you have 100% resistance. I could be wrong tho
I agree, The Atronach Stone is the way I like to go.
Yea, most things cap at 85% or so, but this is spell absorption, not resistence, it might work differently, Either way, the max of 85% spell absorption and 85% resistence would be really powerfull.
you and will both missed out on the fact that shouts can be absorbed by this as well like a dragons fire breath or a drougers unrelenting force
I always use the ritual stone. It’s especially useful in Drauger areas, because you can beat a boss without even fighting them
Impressive video visually as well as the knowledge I've learnt :3
GOD i cant get enough of these videos. There so will made and really helpful.
THESE ARE POSSIBLY THE BEST SKYRIM VIDEOS EVER!
I really appreciate you putting the map in the video of where they actually are. Super helpful, keep up the good work!
The whole quality of this video (and also the work that went into it) is insane, great work, sub+1 !
I haven't played Skyrim in a long while but I love William's presentation in these vids so I'm still watching it.
You sure know how to do a great video, Strife. This and the character guide are excellently done
6:07 Fudgemuppet was triggered
Top Shagger Mc. Swagger lol true
Lol
A note about the Atronach stone: Don't pick this stone if you're doing a conjuration build. Spell Absorption works against you when trying to summon atronachs and such.
Lover stone has also disadventage that you cant get rest bonus while under effect of it. But if you using guardian stones, you can get +20% for specific set of skills and +5%, +10% or 15% flat bonus from resting (depending where you rest). So that leads to 35% max bonus for specific set.
Razimir
Aetherium Crown gives two standing stones.
Lover + (Mage, Thief, or Warrior) = 35%
Also a great combo if you're a werewolf! As you can't sleep as one.
Razimir I think being married and having the lovers comfort or wearing your ring negates the lover stone debuff.
Ohhhhhhhhhh!! So THATS why I can't get any rested bonuses anymore!!
What if you have the Aetherium Crown w/ the Lover Stone set as your older stone. Couldn't you just take the crown off, then sleep giving you the rested bonus, then put the crown back on, or would that erase the rested bonus?
@@phelanlawson8384 it does
Hey, can you do a Companion guide or a Factions guide next?
Half of my enjoyment from watching your videos comes from just listening to your immaculate voice lol thanks
God has it been a long time since I've seen or played, so many memories coming back.
strife, you have earned the "best yog voice" award, with a voice which even surpasses the relaxing voice of sjin. Truly your voice is the most soothing, most relaxing, best all around voice of all the yogs. congratulations
The quality of your videos are always on top!
Something else the Steed Stone does is that it allows the player to pick up the same armor being worn without it being encumbering; it's my personal favorite part. For example: I had it while traveling through the Forgotten Vale while also having at least 1 part of my gear enchanted with Fortify Carry Weight to a super-high level and was able to pick up loads of Heavy Falmer equipment and shields (what I was wearing in the process) while not seeing the counter for what I pick up get any higher because of it.
hands down this is the best skyrim guide there is on the youtube ;)
Well I guess I'm going for the 'Lovers' stone for my first play through, 15% skill ep for all skills sounds great :)
A thing to keep in mind, is that you can always take a particular Stone Blessing for a particular mission as needed. You could take the free unlock while delving into the depths of a dungeon to get into a particular chest full of goodies, or take the invisibility for a particularly sticky mission if you’re not great a stealth making a mission like the Thalmor embassy easier… etc.
You don’t need to choose one and keep it for ever, grab which ever blessing you need to fulfill whatever goal you have in mind!
Another tip is that some of them with cons, can be assisted with enchanted gear… like taking the boost to magicka and using enchanted gear to offset the heavy magicka resistance issue.
The same goes for stacking, like he mentioned… if you’re preparing for a big dragon fight or magic heavy boss fight you can essentially take the magic resistance and stack it with some decent gear and be almost entirely fireproof to whoop dragon ass, or offer resistances you sorely lack while taking on a dungeon full of crazy necromancers and mages!
It’s just good to keep these in mind, understand your strengths and weaknesses and know which stones will help smooth your play style out a bit. Let them work for you and treat them as a way to help pick up any slack you have or use them to boost your highest strengths to become a very specifically powerful character in one niche.
That’s the best thing about Skyrim… you can push your character into a tiny corner where you rule like a god, or spread yourself all over the map and be good at a ton of things and use Stones, and enchantments as needed to become powerful as needed for a particular quest. A surgeon with a scalpel who only does things a particular way, with extreme precision… or become a jack of all trades, ever evolving as needed to fit the situation!
amazing vids Bro. So much clearer than just diving into massive game.
These videos are gorgeously created and still interesting in 2019
Incredibly well made video, thanks fam. Also, your voice feels nice to my ears...
The best Skyrim stones video I have ever seen nice job and thanks.
7:35 Giants CAN be raised with the soul tear shout from the dawnguard dlc. Great video anyway!
That was really nice editing Will.
i personlly find the lord stone to be best. especially on a breton. 50% magic resistance trumps a lot of things.
a breton with endgame light armor and the lord stone is nigh on immortal
thank u i always wounded what the guarding stones effect witch skill tree now i know such a very helpful guide
Little note about the Atronach Stone: it doesn't just affect incoming attack spells. There are other spells and effects that can trigger magicka absorb.
One example can be when conjuring summoned creatures (though this can be buggy and prevent casting) and another I've noticed is the effect from the Shadow Warrior perk.
Possibly the most useful though is how spell absorption plays with Circle Of Protection. Whilst inside, the spell is technically permanently casting on you, and with a decent magicka absorption you'll notice that the Circle Of Protection spell now functions as a super effective magicka well.
Plus, there are ways to combine this with the Alteration perk "Atronach" to get 100% Magic Absorbtion (as it's not capped) and become fully immune to magic and elemental damage.
This video was useful and helpful. Thank you for your work.
Dude your guides are phenomenal 👍
The Lover Stone & The Steed Stone are the best in my opinion.
your voice was quite nice for this guide/story telling, you should try do some lore vids or story videos perhaps
P.S you earned a new sub!
Right on time with this one!
Another grate video. I swear my favorite part of the elder scrolls series is the Dadra lore. Same with the quest. Each is unique.
Great*
@@MyNaemSkwid this was from 3 years ago. You must be bord if you scrolled this way back.
@@dazor5212 hello
@@dazor5212 so what brings you to a 3 year old comment with bad grammer?
With all these new guides your doing Will, I gotta ask, do you think you'll pick up Skyrim again for a play through on or off camera?
Already am on my own, I streamed a chunk of my new character yesterday. Link to my twitch is in the description of all my videos.
William Strife watch out Will, twitch is a Nazi! I definitely think you should move all your content to RUclips, certainly not because I don't have a twitch account and can't binge all your content..
I see a few comments on getting the Aetherial Crown allowing two stones at once. But also, If u have the crown and set it up with a power 1x/day stone, u just unequip the crown and reequip it and BAM, you can use the ability again. Allows unlimited use of said power hehehe.
I always take rhe steed stone as it allows me to carry 3 entire sets of deadric armor specifically enchanted to whether I'm using one handed, archery, or magic. and so I can carry all the extra weapons and staves and potions. basically il enter inventory right after shooting arrows till the last second and come out swinging swords
love the skyrim vidoes, strife!
thanks, got more knowleded on the once I was unsure about and a trophy at the same time^^
I love the Steed Stone, it makes my heavy armored sword wielder a much faster killing machine, with 300+ armor rating and no movement penalty.
thank you for making these guides
7:14 Did you forget about the shout Soul Tear because it works on giants.
If you did not know soul tear deals damage to any adversary, places a soul trap like effect on it and if you kill them with it raises to battle for you if possible but has a recharge rat of 90.
Love your work strife!
May have been worth mentioning the aetherial crown. Some truly powerful combinations exist
Sick editing, great job.
I love all your vids, you're such an awesome RUclipsr and you're an inspiration to me so much I even started making my own YT vids:) thanks and keep up the great work 👍👍
u still do skyrim guide thats awesome
There is a set back when in catacombs though, they start to get stuck and become useless, still it overwhelms your enemies and you win
An notable difference between the Lover's stone and the Guardian stones. The Guardian stones' effects stack with the experience gain bonus effect gained from resting, but the Lover's stone effect is permanent version of the "Lover's Comfort" Effect, which is the strongest of the resting experience bonuses. Because you already have Lover's Comfort, you are prevented from obtaining any other resting Bonus.
This can be circumvented if you have the Lover's stone as your Aetherium Crown slot, as it does not replace a resting bonus you already have. This allows you to combine a Guardian Stone with two versions of Lover's Comfort for a massive boost to experience yield, you just need to put the crown on after you wake up.
I recall putting the atronach stone on my warrior just for the spell absorption. It allowed me to close the distance while charging mages down.
gosh darn it I love your voice.
# discovery channel
# history channel
something tells me will, will be making a skyrim remastered walkthrough.
I love your guides
Thank you so much for your videos you do a great job!
With the Aetherial Crown from the Dawn Guard dlc you can have two standing stone effects at the same time, maybe that would have been worth to mention.
I particularly like to have my character take a Guardian Stone effect with them, and put the Lover Stone's effect in the crown. Take the crown off before sleeping, and get the "Well-Rested" EXP boost. Then put it back on and get to work.
Of course, if you're a werewolf, you can't be "Well-Rested" anyway, so you can just have the Guardian and Lover bonuses.
TrashJack3000 same and then grind ithing or enchanting
Lady stone is also boosted by drinking a fortefy restoration potion just before accepting it.
the Atronach Stone is objectively speaking the most powerful and useful Stone combined with a couple of other perks you can literally become immune to any form of magic shouts included
Hmmm.. hey Will.. dont know if you know about this one or not.. but there is a one of a Kind Circlet you can get in the game that allows you to pick up a blessing from a second Standing Stone.. think it might be part of one of the DLCs.. involves a Dwemer Ruin and at the end you can chose between the Circlet and a Shield..
I would enjoy more videos like this
Just wondering, since the steed stone erases ALL penalty on armor it should be extremely useful if you want a stealth tank, since no negativ eeffects and no weight of the armor should make it impossible to be detected by sound
I was always confused about enchanting. Because where its place looks like it belongs in the warrior class the perk tree is place next to smithing I think that's why I always thought yep must be a warrior skill.
Fudgemuppet would certainly disagree with a certain thing you said...
North of Merida Statue you have Wolf Skull Cave North of that is the steed . It changed my mid game life
Great channel! Nice videos.
If I used the aetherial crown, could I stack two effects like if I did the mage stone and the lover stone would my magicka skills increase 35% faster
You should have made sure to include the item location of the helmet/circlet that lets you use two of the stones.
The Steed Stone is by far the most useful for any play style. But the Atherial Crown is very handy. But to get it is a pain in the butt...but well worth it. There's a ring called Ahzidal's Ring, and undead that you control (when hit) explode for 50 points of frost damage. But if you have the Ritual Stone as your choice, equip the Atherial Crown...you can simply unequipped the crown and place it back on and you can reuse the Ritual Stone effect again without waiting 24 hours. The stones power is saved to the crown. This means you can go and get any other stone you want. I recommend the Steed Stone. You just can't beat it.
although thief stone gets more skills it also gets 2 of the most useless ones speech and lockpick and arguably alchemy too, since u wont have trouble later on with money, lockpicking is easy and u can use enchanted equipment and u find alot of potions and can buy them
nice videos. Hope you upload more
Why does Maik The Liar sound like the wisest man I've ever heard?
Mai'q*
You said one word and i had to subscribe its godly well demi god you aint no morgan freeman
does the lord stone's armor increase affect the alteration perk, mage armor? Or does it stack?
If you have the lord stone activated does the Mage armor perk still work if you don't have armor on?
Im very happy that you started to do Skyrim videos!! Maybe some Fallout 4 will be also nice. Thanks a lot!!
He already has one on fallout 4 and it isn't exactly positive.
Like wolf said, he doesn't have anything good to say about fallout 4
loool just started playin this game as a mage first walk trough already found the 2 best mage stones o.O now im just hungry for more
Very well made 👌🏼
Could you stack the lover stone and let’s say the mage stone to get better improvement of skills?
Does the Lord Stone work with the Breton's 25 percent resistance??
if you get the atherial crown you can use the greater powers of the stones whenever you want
are you sure i thought it was 2 standing stones activated at once
augustuslook It is. But if it is an active power equipping the crowd actives it. You can bypass 24h cooldown with equip&unequip
is the crown a dlc?
pumaxDace its from the dawnguard dlc
Ooooh I never thought of that! Been around since the beginning of everything and I never thought of that... Thanks!
love that Lover Stone!!
You should do more elder scrolls guides like you used to
If you go to the Aetherium forge via quest, you can get two standing stones at a time by crafting the crown. Yw
I have the platinum for Special Edition and still never knew about the Steed Stone. Would've helped me quite a bit with the 100,000 gold trophy. LOL
i like how hes put "all versions" in the description as though hes predicting theres gonna be more than the standard and special
More like there's already 3-4 versions of Skyrim out there ranging from the original released in 2011 to the latest Special Edition in 2016.
Never underestimate people's ability to get confused and say "It's the same game with the same name, but the PS4 and Xbone versions are totally different games cause they're on different systems right?"
Standard (the original game), Legendary (the game with all the updates and DLC pre-installed), and Special Edition (the one that adds pretty light effects)
Or he could be talking about the "versions" as in the updates. Version 1.0, Version 2.4, Version 5.3, etc...
William Strife
i see ps3 xbox360 and base pc (one with steam mods) as one version and ps4 xbox1 and se on steam (bethesda mods) as another so thats 2 version (btw legendary is same as ps3 and xbox 360 but with the updates and dlc's)
MushyBird McMushington g
Side note with the aetherial crown . You can have two standing stone abilities.
I exploited the ritual stone like a boss, at one point I would kill room after room of people, then wait 24 hours, do it again and again. I got a grand total of like 30 undead warriors at my command
I’m confused? The shadow stone allows you to become invisible for up to 60 seconds a day so how does that work then? How do you activate it when you want to become invisible?
Are you able to stack lover and mage stones with the crown
Damn I miss these videos. Too bad Fallout 4 didn't get the in depth guides
WhyBeUgly because unfortunately there wasn't much there
Fallout is just really ONE playstyle, and that's to pew pew boom boom, everyone is basically just a shooter.
how do I add them to my active effects using consle commands?
