    Hey folks, it's SKYRIM, everyone's favourite of Todd's magical creations.
    You should follow my Twitch channel (link in desc.) because I'm going to be playing completely randomied New Vegas there this coming week, doors and everything, it's going to be horribly painful.
    So anyway to answer the question that the title asks... Well... Sort of.
    I'm not really enough of an expert at Skyrim to know for sure but it feels like there are just certain moments where you really can't avoid being technically 'detected' for a moment, even if you're sneaking and invisible, when certain NPC's activate it seems like they're programmed to start their existence with an innate knowledge of your location, also dragon hitboxes suck and know there's mods to tighten them up a bit but I wanted to keep this playthrough vanilla for the homies.

      ​@@HazzorPlaysGames If you want to know a way to make future stealth runs easier, the fastest way to level stealth in the bear room is to set the difficulty to legendary, push Hadvar into a corner/if your stealth is high enough you don't really need too, and then stealth attack him. Due to the fact he is unable to become hostile in the tutorial you can stab him in the back repeatedly until he almost dies and then wait until he heals again. This levels stealth to 100 in like 10-20 minutes and can even be used to level stealth later on if you are a conjunction user and you just raise undead and then stab them in the back. I actually might put this elsewhere because enough people don't know about it.

      Enchanting probably is better for DPS, but you can always do both. Fortify One-Handed x4 (boots, gloves, ring, necklace), a 15% increase each, that's usually better than smithing's ~20-30% damage increase.

      Also maxed out Smithing will easily double the weapons damage, maybe even more if combined with potions and enchanted jewelry that increases your Smithing skill, the 20-30% is only when your skill is low.

    To save time in the future, as you're escaping Helgen, by the bear you can crouch to sneak attach Ralof or Hadvar an infinite number of times. They will never die or attack you. This will allow you to level sneak and 1 handed at the same time, cutting your waiting in half.

    There’s a much quicker way to max out sneak, and you can do it before leaving the starting room.
    Enter the Helgen dungeon with Rolaf, kill the imperials, and take they key that one of them holds before Rolaf can get it.
    Set up done.
    Seriously, that’s it. Go try it, you’ll wait longer for the intro than you will to hit level 10
    As long as he doesn’t get the key he will stand there waiting for you, and never become hostile. The first 2-3 sneak attacks against him can be pretty hard to nail, but if you put your first skill point in sneak it gets significantly easier
    Works with 1 handed and destruction too, but takes forever.

    0:56 use a bowl in the first room to walk through the wall next to the chest with the key in it. I believe if you just fall forwards you will end up at the end of the dungeon. Normally I don’t do this because there’s loot to be had but it would help with this run. Also worth noting if you don’t want to use that glitch you don’t have to kill those stormcloaks. You already have the key so you can go past.
    A few other things of note, enchantment damage doesn’t get multiplied by stealth so with the insane multiplier with daggers even a small upgrade would be better than enchanting. Also, while it doesn’t really matter since stealth is powerful enough as is, vampirism gives a bonus to stealth and illusion, and the vampire side quests can give an insane ring called “ring of the euradite” which upgrades your magica by 100, and also increases your base revenue from 3 per second to 5, which stacks with regular regen enchants. Although honestly it doesn’t matter because stealth is more than powerful enough that none of these things are very important.

  • @Dismallo-1
    @Dismallo-1 4 месяца назад +7

    You can actually level up sneak a lot faster in the same starting cave. First, grab a steel or iron dagger in the keep. When Ralof/Hadvar says, "Go ahead, I'll follow your lead and watch your back," walk to the small waterfall behind you. Make Hadvar/Ralof look at the wall and not you. Then power attack him while sneaking with the dagger then just normally hit 2 times while also sneaking. Wait 7 seconds then attack 2 times. Repeat until it starts saying sneak attack for 3x damage. It should set it to where all attacks are sneak attacks only to him.

    There's a very easy way for doing this: Stabing Ralof/Hadvar a billion times in Helgen. All you need to do is taking the key before them and than sneaking and hitting them, it's a bit weird, the game will always say you are stealth, but won't give the bonus damage 100% of the time, when will manage to do a backstab though, you gain xp, and quite a bit of xp, I think you can max sneak in less then 30 minutes, and in 1 hour or so you can also max one handed. After that, having 100 sneak and taking some perks, it's a pretty easy start.

    Ralof will now wait at the gate passively and still invincible, allowing you to backstab him. Once you level up you basically jump up a level per hit til you're in the 60's. Do that til you max out sneak and you've got a few levels for backstab and sneak bonuses and maxed out sneak

    To level up sneak, just crouch,put one point into sneak,use a dagger and just sneak attack the person you join forces with in Helgen. It’s faster,better,and you can level farm with it

    In the tutorial, large portions can be completed without being seen by letting Hadvar fight the storm cloaks for you while you hide around a corner or up the stairs. He's really bad at it and you'll have to retreat every once and a while, but it's possible.

  • @deeton6289

    You could potentially stealth the tutorial, if you side with ralof (maybe hadvar works too) you can get you hands free, and stealth melee hit him to level up sneak, i dont think he turns to see you. But yeah, level 100 sneak before looting gunjars corpse

    Better way to power grind sneak and one handed from experience: whoever is following you through the tutorial is immortal and un-aggroable, so in the segment where you sneak past the bear simply sneak and backstab them over and over. Sneak and one handed both level up faster depending how much sneak attack damage you do, so it's a good way to turn a 4-hour grind into a 15-30 minute one

    There is a faster way to level sneak in the bear cave! If you push Hadvar into a corner far enough away from the bear and turn the difficulty to legendary, you can continually get sneak attacks on him and he never turns against you. You can max sneak in like 5 minutes!

  • @vasilyd8578
    @vasilyd8578 5 месяцев назад +5

    1) Switching to legendary difficulty, equipping 2 daggers and repeatedly doing LIGHT double attacks (tapping both mouse keys simultaneously) can bring your Sneak skill to 100 in around 5 minutes. Just make sure to not take any perks which upgrade your sneak attack multiplier during that.
    2) You can go straight to Riften and kill Grelod without talking to the boy and taking the quest before that. That saves some time on traveling here and there and back.
    3) There's enough jewelry in the houses of wealthy Whiterun citizens, so there was no practical need to level up pick-pocketing.

And I also used your video as a step-by-step tutorial, with certain tweaks here & there, such as investing in smithing instead of enchanting, going through the Dark Brotherhood questline for money instead of leveling my pickpocketing skill, as well as for the Cicero's clothes outfit for sneakiness instead of enchanting armor for it, etc. Also, did you know that instead of walking into a wall for 4 hours to get to sneak level 83, you could have just sneak attacked Hadvar for like 20-30 minutes, and gotten to level 100?

    If you wanted to power level sneak in Helgen you could have also just repeatedly backstabbed Hadvar in the bear cave. He has a massive HP pool, regenerates constantly, and will never aggro on you while you're still in the tutorial. 50 sneak is a couple minutes of stabs at most.

    Great vid! Next time try sneak attacking with the dagger on Hadvar before you leave the cave. You can level up sneak to 100 in some 15-20 minutes while also getting your one handed skill up to around level 30. It’ll save you some time in future stealth runs. 😁

    nice, good video dude. i do enjoy some stealth in skyrim. a small tip for others incase they still dont know after all these years, if you hold down the cast spell button with invisible and open a door and release it the spell, you can enter new zones and be invisible instantly instead of having to recast the spell after you enter a dungeon or such just make sure to hold the spell until after you pressed the button to open the door. also on older versions of skyrim if you hold down the sprint key whilst sneaking and draw your weapon whilst moving forward you can get the sneak roll to activate without having the skill unlocked to do so. skyrim was and still is a very broken game and thats before you start doing the enchant and smithing exploit

    For maxing sneak at the start of the game, I normally go for the stabbing Ralof (or Hadvar if you're a filthy imperial) a million times method, I found it takes about an hour to max out sneak. Plus you get a little in onehanded.

    1) If you want to be undetected at the start, just let Hadvar or Ralof do all the fighting. They can't be killed, since they're flagged as Essential.
    2) If you sneak attack Hadvar/Ralof, you'll both level up your weapon skill (Archery, One Handed, or Two Handed) as well as Sneak. It's MUCH faster than running into a wall, although it isn't passive.
    3) It would be far easier if you level up Alchemy, then create enchanted gear with insane levels of Fortify Sneak. Now that I think of it, if you're going to do this, you don't even need to level up Sneak at the beginning, although it's probably only a concern if you're speedrunning. Using the Guardian Stone and selected Thief will benefit Alchemy.
    4) The only reason to repeatedly cast Muffle is to level up Illusion. It doesn't take hours. If you're doing that, you may as well get the Guardian Stone for Mage, get a Well Rested bonus, then cast it in both hands. IDK, I don't really see how this helps you "Beat Skyrim Melee only Without Being Detected".
    5) I don't understand why you're doing the Dark Brotherhood quests.
    6) I don't understand why you're doing Boethia's quest.
    7) If you've leveled up Alchemy, you can create potions of Fortify Smithing and improve your weapons. If you're doing one of the "Loop" exploits (either Restoration or Alch/Enchanting), you can create weapons which achieve the 1HK Holy Grail (One Hit Kill). But even if you don't, you should be putting skill points into your weapon skill, this playthrough you appear to be unnecessarily weak in combat.
    8) I don't understand why you're doing the Dawnguard quests.
    9) Ok you were able to 1HK a Giant, looks like you ended up assigning points.
    10) It's VERY difficult getting dragon kills if you're hidden, because it's not going to attack you (it doesn't know you're there). If you luck out, you'll be near something it's attacking. If you want dragon kills, you can go to Dragon Lairs and 1HK it while it's sleeping. Another strat is to get a follower with really bad stealth (the Companion brothers are really bad at stealth), and kill the dragon while it's attacking your follower.

    You CAN stealth Helgen during the tutorial. You just can't participate in any of the battles and have to follow behind your guide. But if your feeling less cautious as you probably should, you can gleam stealth experience from the situation as well. If you want to do Helgen stealth, while it works for both options, I would recommend siding with Hadvar. That option gives you all the space you need to stay hidden the entire time without relying on luck. After that you can stealth to your heart's content through Helgen while not contributing to a single battle.(For, perhaps, obvious reasons. I wouldn't recommend doing this above Novice difficulty. While hiding is the same regardless, the higher health pools are a pain to wait through.

    For the future: you can buy adept level spells when the appropriate skill reaches level 40 and expert level spells when it reaches 65. They cost twice as much to cast until you reach 50 and 75 and pick up the perks but you *can* buy and use most of them before then. A few are just totally impractical without the cost reduction to the point of being functionally unusable even if the game will still let you learn and cast them technically.

    Ive found the best way to level pick pocketing is to reverse pickpocket gold into someone's inventory then pick it back out. You have to start with small amounts, but as pick pocketing improves, you can use larger amounts of gold. Which in turn leads to larger amount of xp gained per successful pick pocket (the higher the value of what you pick pocket the more xp). I've actually used this to power level once my character once
