I'm one of those guys that have played Skyrim inside out and may not even do many quests anymore unless I'm wanting specific items for a build, no matter how many thousands of hours one has in the game or if your totally new to it one cant beat just roaming the map looking for new locations or NPCs, if your map is crowded with location symbols i roam around the gaps in map markers looking for unfound or unknown detail....that's why i love Skyrim so much, you can do what you want when you want.
@PaulTanner-pc1nj yeah it's amazing for that, I thought years ago that I'd exhausted skyrim and had seen it all. And yet 2 of these locations in this I stumbled upon in one evening which were brand new to me, which is what prompted me to pull something together 😁. Looking forward to the next time I discover something new
Idk i did all the missions (not all radiant), found all the locations, and now except those radiant that takes me to places i cleared 5 times, i really don't know what to do anymore. I even built all the houses
I figure the human skeleton in the mammoth skeleton could be another Star Wars reference. This person crawled inside of a dead mammoth to stay warm but, unlike Luke, didn't survive. Excellent video! It always warms my heart to see the love for Skyrim after all these years.
20:03 So I found the Mushroom Ring yesterday while playing Skyrim and they’re actually very interesting folklore. They’re known as Faerie Rings in old Irish tradition. Faeries are said to use them sort of as markets and gatherings places, where they trade, meet, marry, etc. it’s very bad luck for a human to walk into or even worse, damage a faerie ring, sometimes being said to be trapped there until the faerie feels like letting them go, or to dance with them forever while no time seemingly has passed for you.
@parkwaydrivern5089 yeau a few others have mentioned the lore behind faerie rings. Not that something I was aware of beforehand but it's very interesting!
I think the Lovers Tragedy one at around 10:00 might be a reference to Pyramus and Thisbe. The story is part of the inspiration for Romeo and Juliet for those that don't know it, but briefly summarized, Pyramus and Thisbe were lovers forbidden by their parents to be together. So they decided to elope and planned to meet at midnight by a mulberry tree. Thisbe arrived first and was waiting when a lion approached. She hid, with part of her scarf catching on the mulberry tree. When Pyramus arrived, he spotted the scarf and the lion. Usually the story goes that Pyramus slew the lion, then killed himself believing the lion had killed Thisbe, but I have also heard a version where the lion killed him. Either way, Thisbe returns and sees Pyramus, dead, so she kills herself with his sword, the two laying together in death under the mulberry tree. Of course, this scene isn't exactly the same, but you have lovers forbidden from being together, planning to elope together only to both end up dying. But as stated, there's always a predator encounter nearby, reminiscent of the lion from the story. And the woman is found under a tree, a juniper berry tree if I saw correctly, referring to the mulberry tree from the story. Even the subsequent altar to Mara could be considered a reference, since the original adaptation had the gods honour the lovers by changing the colour of mulberries to match the pool of blood. Obviously this isn't the same as someone putting an altar up, but there is still the symbolism of honouring their love with a reference to the gods.
20:04 A ring of mushrooms like that is called a “Fairy Ring”, and it is actually caused by old tree roots in the ground. (In real life) The developers probably just knew this and threw it in there as an Easter egg! Not witches, not alchemists, it was caused by lumberjacks!
A fairy ring is actually a single fungus. Mushrooms are the fruit of the fungi. Every year they expand a little wider. One in Wisconsin was over a mile wide bringing up the theory of what is called “super organisms”. I have seen where the Fly Agaric mushroom covered a single clearing ringed with pines. The caps were identical color for that year but each year they were a different color. My Masters is in Plant Pathology and my emphasis was mycology . Beech trees grow in rings as root suckers come up at the furthest extent of the root span. It isn’t unusual to find a ring of Beech trees with the mother tree absent in the center.
I think that human inside the Mammoth skeleton was a poacher hunting Mammoths and while succeeded in killing it, it fell over right on top of him, crushing the poacher and killing him. When the bodies decomposed we're left with a scene that resembles a Mammoth eating a human
@Pen_Slinger yeah that's possible 😁 others have said it could be a star wars Easter egg (think it's episode 5 where Luke cuts the stomach of that beast to get inside and stay warm). Which is also a cool theory 😁
Enjoyed your video very much thank you. I've been playing skyrim since it first came out. 1st time was on ps 3, then xbox 350 now on pc. I'm 63 and it's my all time favourite game. I never get bored whst with the dlc coming out. Thank you
You didn't get into the real mystery of Hrodulf's house... which I only discovered when a Khajiit trader on Skyrim sent me there in search of his Moon Amulet. There's a trap door, inside which are two reavers discussing a private letter of the dead resident; lots of books; and a secret passage to a dead-end Dwemer ruin and chest. The body inside will have an Undying Torch, the only one in the game.
@thomasdarby6084 I've seen that cellar with the reavers in as I thought that might trigger his body appearing but it didn't. The part I hadn't found though was the secret passage with the body of his lover 😮
Well, the Chill is literally Winterhold’s prison. Not some random unmarked location, but a prison where you’re sent if you commit a crime in winterhold.
This game never ceases to amaze. All of these hidden gems still to be discovered! I knew about some (frozen mammoth), but most are totally new to me. Thanks Mike! 🙌🏼
Sulphur pool hunters... I once became so good at pickpocketing that I could take the clothes, people were wearing. It was so much fun to fight naked bandits! 😅
10:29 the bodies are buried under those 2 stone cairns 20:55 that is also one location of the rare closed face Imperial helmet, the other being Kilkreath Temple
Been some years since i played last time, had forgotten about the weapon collector sceleton. Thanks for the reminder. The chill - on my first playthrough back in 2011 i got sent there, crime doesn't pay in skyrim, it's cold 🤣
There is so much stuff in Skyrim. Even today I find a thing or two sometimes if you take a companion and let them fight for you even in bleak falls barrow you will find things you didn't know were there. I didn't know for example there is 3 chests in the same room as the word stone. Lots of hidden chests in this dungeon. Before you get the claw if you go straight to collapsed tunnel and smack away the webbing there is chest there. As you are going to enter bleak falls itself, turn left and go around the barrow and there is a strongbox usually with jewels on the side. A lot of times these days when I go to dungeons that I am bored with I take a companion or two and let them do all the fighting while I just look around and see if I can find something new.
@xineohpinakc264 yeah there is one up to the right near a waterfall isn't there. That one usually has some good stuff in it. Then there's another one on the left side, past the stair well that leads you out. That one for me usually only has gold or a few smaller things in it. I only found that latter one a year or so ago.
@@mike-thegamingdad Go around the the back of the word wall on the right and jump those rocks. There is a chest on top usually has some gold and jewels. You can barely reach it jumping and yes there is a another chest under the waterfall. There is a strongbox adept with jewels if you go around the entrance of the barrow to your left and there is a little cut out area it has that and an alchemy satchel also. Just amazing stuff I still find.
Great video! I need to check all of those since I've been only to few of locations from the list. I guess it'e time for another stroll through the chilly land of Skyrim...
@Gameon22387 thanks very much 😁 I do have more stuff like this on my channel. If you look under playlists there should be one called Skyrim walkthroughs. There's quite a few videos on different topics in there. I did one about 5 months ago called hidden quests which is a bit like this, but there's also videos on the most tragic quests, all the treasure maps, alchemy, locations like the midden. I even did a full guide on the volkihar vampires. Hope you enjoy! 👍🏻
I can’t believe I’ve never noticed the well before. 🤣 I’ve definitely encountered that wisp mother (And all of the others I’m the game, to the best of knowledge), I just missed the well!
20:00 Fun fact, this is just how mushrooms grow in real life. The part that we see is only a part of the body of the fungus. They're called fruiting and they're how the fungus reproduces. A fungal spore will land on the ground and begin growing mycelium outward in all directions. These mycelium, which resemble roots, grow continuously until environmental conditions are right to drop new spores, at which point it will quickly grow fruiting bodies at the ends of the mycelium, creating a ring of mushrooms. The longer the fungus has been waiting for the right conditions, the wider the ring will be. In some folklore they're called fairy circles because it was thought the mushrooms were grown and used as seats by fairies holding councils.
@rosegoldrose6249 yeah someone else mentioned that, they said it can happen where old trees used to exist and the fungi grow off the root network. Which if true I had no idea 🤯
@@mike-thegamingdad oh! I didn't know about that, that is really cool. Learning something new every day. I know from folklore fairy rings are like a portal to the fairy real but of course that is just story.
A ring of mushrooms in real life is called a “Fairy Ring”, so if I had to guess the ring of mushrooms probably has something to do with fairy lore, or was intended by developers to have something to do with a fairy quest.
Also, in the rowboat near Hrodulf's Shack, there is an amulet of Mara under one of the seats. There are also journals and notes in the basement of the shack, and a hidden room. Thanks for this video, there are two places you mentioned that I had never found, the very first one north of Solitude and the Shrine of Talos near Froki's shack. Did you find Notch's Pickaxe (from Minecraft) at the top of the throat of the world? Did you find the Star Wars Ep 5 reference SE of Winterhold in the Ice Cave (near where the Horkers surround the body of a dead hunter with a treasure map)?
@skentmar105 no problem at all 😁. I have found the Notched pickaxe near the top of the throat of the world but the star wars episode 5 reference I'm not sure? Is that the horker hunter campsite you find and then if you travel east, outwards towards the water, you find the hunters remains? If so I think I covered that location in another video for some reason but I didn't know the SW reference!
@@mike-thegamingdad The location is Bleakcoast Cave. Several Frost trolls hanging around and in one chamber of the cave complex there is a partial skeleton hanging from the ceiling with a sword on the ice below it. That scene appeared in Episode five of Star Wars (2nd SW movie actually released). This guy wasn't as lucky as Luke Skywalker.
The mammoth skeleton one. The human remains could be from someone who found and hollowed out a dead mammoth to use for shelter and warmth, only to perished anyway.
There’s a random wood chopping block not to far from the site of the careless bather. I always wondered if it was cut content and a homestead was supposed to be there, maybe you could have found her father there…
@@ThatOtherCat-qq9io I've not noticed that block before, will have to have a look. It could well be cut content. There's quite a few things left in, like the 4 missing apprentices of the college.
You do know there is a trapdoor to go into the basement of Hrodulfs house, don't you ? No ? It's on the corner where you fight the ash spawn, close to the chest... Can be seen in the middle of the screen at 26:22
@awarfish yeah I've been down there and seen the Reavers and the note from his lover. Another commentor said if you go down into the basement and then back to the scene near the boat his body should have spawned, but it didn't do it for me. I didn't know about the secret tunnel in the basement though where the body of Bjornuflr is until recently. Maybe that's the trigger for his body spawning im not sure, I've not tried that yet
[Spoiler ahead] - Great presentation. I noticed you didn't look under the upside-down basket under the Conjuration Spell Book at the Wispmother's Well (11:54) on your way to the Throat of the World. Don't worry, it's loot that's easy to miss. I did the same! Also, I wonder what happens if we take off our clothes and join the fun at the Sulphur Pool near Eldergleam Sancuary! 😼
I actually got put in the chill prison on my first playthrough years ago upon release. Worst part was, no lockpick. Have since been imprisoned there and have always had a lockpick in my inventory since. Assume it was one of the many early bugs. To this day it's the only prison sentence I've actually served in a TES game.
Been to most of them by accident. Was just wondering where The Chickenmancer is. lol. A couple I don't know if you know. Somewhere up in the mountains up north is a caravan of dead Bretons, forget exactly where and near The Island of Giant Nirnroots there is a dragon roosting on what looks like word wall, but there's no word there. Up somewhere around Peryite's Shrine there is a small shrine with a dead Bosmer woman who looks like she killed herself after doing the ritual feast of eating an enemy, or at least someone dead. On the shore of Lake Ilinalta, towards Halfmoon Mill there is a cairn with another Elf who seemed to have killed himself, he has a coinpurse, perhaps he took money to do something dishonorable then regretted it. Also behind Hillgrund's Tomb there's a little scene ,a bandit archer is sitting in the middle of a log bridge. There is another dead bandit at the bridge and down below a dead orc bandit with a dagger and some loot. Maybe a falling out over spoils? Past Windhelm there's an abandoned fishing camp and a journal. If you go in the water there's a huge swarm of slaughterfish, an overturnrd boat and two skeletons. Guess we know what happened there.
@patricialavery8270 awesome list of places there, thanks for sharing! A few of those sound familiar but I don't think I've ever seen the last one with the shoal of slaughterfish and the overturned boat! What a gruesome way to go!
@Miss_Camel it's the location I showed in this, if you keep heading north from his shack eventually you reach the peak with the Talos shrine. There's a unique (well almost unique, I think there are 2-3 locations with this helmet in game) imperial helmet up there
I know almost all of these…I explore most places on foot. 12:50 I know this spawn spot, but I never knew there was a well. 16:25 I think ’Lucky’ was profaning Dibella’s shrine and she punished him for it.
Have you found the dead mamoth and it's greiving giant yet, it's in one of the hot pools not from the dragons peak. I have explored Skyrim and Solstein a lot and I loved climing peaks so yes I have seen them all and a perhaps one or 2 you have missed or just not mentioned. :)
@silverflagon yeah I've seen the giant and his dead mammoth, very sad 😪. I wish they'd implemented a sequence where he moves on and there's the mammoth skeleton left there or something to show time has moved on. I had a long running save over a few years and he was stood there throughout the entire save 😅. Same with the old orc who challenges you to a duel. Once he's been seen, he never moves if you don't take him up on his offer of a challenge. So I left him standing on a hilltop overlooking riverwood for about 18 months 🤣
It's annoying when discovering locations and some locations have enemies that to discover said location, you have to go into the hornet's nest to be able to discover it.
Hi i liked the way you pointed out these unmarked places,i found that annoing,i am sixty five,and dilexic,it would be helpful if they had them all marked once you found them ,also apart from the carrage and driver that only takes you to the major cities another ,carrage to take you to the smaller villager's would be helpful,also have you notice the beautful music,i have that recording on a record i brought in the eighties,i liked it but years later when i came across the game elders scrolls and hears this recording as the theam music it made more sence they go go together ,alot of effort and deication has been put into this eounderful game,and as you mentioned,you can do whater you want almost,go wherever you want at your own pace ,i like that,because too much pressure and i cant compute,i dont like how they program missions to aoutmaticly pop up and you are spose to do them,there should be something to click on if you want to say yes or no to do them ir not,even to so no to the game mode of dragonborn,and just be a wonderer,in wonderer mode,and i dont like the updates like vampire etc aoutmaticly adding on even when you never pressed update it dosit anyway,what happened to freedom of choice,but thank you liked your site ,theres no thums up so out of whats available ill give you a heart instead its the nearst they have to a thum,❤❤❤❤❤
P s the spelling correction program on the phone kept changing my spelling,even though im not the best at spelling im not as bad as the correction program makes me and everyone else out to be.
@JosephNewham yeah I would have liked carriages that stopped at smaller villages as well. It always felt silly in the game that was never a thing. I understand what you mean about all of the quests automatically starting as well. That can be overwhelming when there are so many
Somewhere near white run I think is a skeleton arm sticking out of a pond holding a sword. I have the anniversary special edition so idk if it’s in the normal one. Reminds me of King Arthur.
Ps the spelling correction program kept changing my spelling,im not the best at spelling but im not as bad as the correction program makes me and everyone else out to be.
Up in the hills around Riften theres a a spring called Clearwater or something right below it is an unmarked cave inside can be found an alter on which rests a hunting bow called naturally the bow of the hunt. I think there's about three here I've yet to discover As to the Mammoth with the skeleton inside ..it could be as simple as a hunter having a Mammoth fall on him at the moment of the kill .. irony haha
@@mike-thegamingdad First I've heard too... The idea that the Mammoth is centuries old is intriguing .. perhaps the glacier split apart in recent times after encasing the Mammoth for millennia ?
The Chicken Necromancer is also my favorite thing to find in Skyrim. I don't have any proof, but I think he is a reference (Easter egg) to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "Video Ouija" from 2004. I would love confirmation from someone from Bethesda on if this is correct.
@chrisknutson5798 I checked that out and read his journal plus the letter from his lover / killed the Reavers but his body still doesn't appear at the shoreline 😫
@ricobonifacio1095 yeah that is odd, the alchemy book is always there but I'd have to check if the ingredients are the same or random. Either way though they are reading Mannimarco, and he was the most powerful necromancer in Tamriel. So they not have been savoury folk after all 🤣
At Hrodulf's house you go down to the basement through a trapdoor. You'll find bandits and a busted up room. Activate the cracked bookcase and you follow the tunnels you would've found a letter to Hrodulf in basement with bandits and the sender, Bjornolfr, begs him to return to Skyrim. He obviously went to find him as his body is in the tunnel that leads to a partialy dug out dwemer ruin. Looks like it could've been more of a story line but I couldn't find anything more. Thanks for reading go check it out! I'm a 57yr old Mom and Kokum who plays Skyrim(console) because of my 23yr old son. I love playing every few mnths lol
@Kriiz67 I've been in that basement and fought the rievers (I think?) And seen the letter that Bjornolfr wrote to him, begging him to return to Skrim, but I don't think I've gone through that cracked bookcase before! Will have to check that out thanks 😁👍🏻
@alandavenport8975 yeah that is a sad location, I think I covered that in a video I did a few years back with some other 'tragic' locations 😢 ruclips.net/video/D3MT9-YhqoI/видео.htmlsi=JxdEp6KPNEHixSpZ
So… I’m guessing you don’t know the folklore behind mushroom circles irl being a sorta “portal the the fairy/fae realm” and this is a thing that happens irl (though usually it’s only one type of mushroom afaik) the fact that deveopers put Fairy Circles in the game… and in more than one location either alludes to this particular belief- or is hinting that there’s some way to activate the magical portals in game (either to leave people speculating and trying everything they can) to access another realm on top of the real one perhaps? I mean, you can go through the entire game and never once realize there’s a dark side UNDER Skyrim with glowing mushrooms and stuff which can only be accessed as specific locations in Dwemer ruins. Same with how there’s another “realm” within Solsthiem through those dragon books. You travel through the books in a realm called Memoria or something. And even if you travel to Raven’s Rock you may never accidentally enter the book realm. So I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s yet another unexplored realm that connects to these Fairy Circles of Mushrooms. But it could also be an Easter egg and a red herring with no actual function (unless it’s planned content for a different update… I mean they keep adding more features. Who knows…) but even if it’s just some interesting lore building that like maybe Spriggans enter Skyrim via these portals, so only a Spriggan could activate it… idk it’s more interesting to speculate.
@Gaz66d I didn't know that no, I also didn't know that these fungi circles are actually real like phenomenon. Apparently they appear on sites of really old trees as they feed on the old root network 🤯
@ mmhm the mycelium in the ground spreads out in a circular pattern from the site of the first fungal growth… usually something that the fungus digested and broke down
I have not yet found any marked locations for the towers where the atherium forge key pieces are located until you get close and still you have no assurance that this is the right dwemmer tower this quest leaves you in the dark to find your own way til the end where your ghost friend either appears or don't ...I had to religh on youtube to point me to the vicinity
@woodsmn8047 yeah that quest is difficult. I used to maps that you are given for each location (think they might be in the journal the archer spectre gives you?), but they are very vague, if you don't know Skyrims map perfectly, they are not easy to locate
@@mike-thegamingdad yes indeed that's why I hoped they might be in your list but I have now finished "Lost to the ages" only curiosity to see if they might be on your list made me watch your video but the list you have is interesting and includes several I hadn't seen thanks for your video
@diddydoodat6764 been a long time since I heard that name 😮 I had a book as a kid with him in and it freaked me out but it was also kinda cool 😅. That would have been great to find in game!
@lmungillo yeau there's not a huge amount I can think of, mainly just the odd chest here or there even in the ships. It was a shame because my very first character was an argonian as I thought waterbreathing might be a really useful skill, but you can get by without it almost indefinitely 😅
@donnagriffith2716 I knew of the cellar because I'd tried that to see if it spawned his body down at the water, but I didn't know about the secret tunnel bit and the body of his lover located there 😮 that was all new to me until I saw it in the comments!
@mike-thegamingdad Sometimes if you don't get there right away, his body spawns in the grass and you really have to look for it. Worth your time, tho'. He carries a blood-stained letter 😢
@ronmexico1652 I had a look, it's hard to tell as the skeletons lower half is mostly buried in the earth. I can see one hand for sure, the other isn't clear, so it could be! 🤷🏻♂️
@@mike-thegamingdad dude, it's awesome you actually did it! I was just trying to get into the mind of the single dev who made that and what the psychology was there. Great video! 🫡
@@mike-thegamingdad hopefully they bring that same enthusiasm into VI. With a map that you can toggle stuff out. Maps like Skyrim and BOTW/TOTK are a nightmare to navigate, but I digress.
So I went in search of the flag on the rocky point above forsaken Cave...did you know theres a location even higher above that!..a Dwarven obilisk with two treasure troves and a hammer of thunderbolts ... watch out for the ice wraiths
Are these loctions exclusive to the Anniversary Edition? Are are they found in other version of the game too? Also does anyone else know about the Legend of Zelda chest in the switch version? It's one of my personal favorite unmarked locations that I make sure to find in every save ^-^
@PastelBat I think all of these are in Skyrim SE, I don't believe I've selected anything in this that is AE exclusive. I just name all my videos Skyrim Anniversary Edition so it shows which version I'm playing incase anything is in the video. As an example I get this a lot "Why are you wearing a backpack? Where do I get that in my game?" 😅
So I found the chicken resurrecter but he was not in attendance one ash pile with a chicken breast seemed to want to tell a story.. but wait!!... ...when I took the chicken egg from the alter two chickens automatically resurrected ..the Chicken egg appears to be the focal point of the spell not the necromancer!?... strange indeed... Especially as this was my first visit !
@@scottpascoe562 so strange, I completely missed that they were larger the first time I went here as I'd only come for the strongbox near the shoreline
@Abby_Normal_1969 they do indeed, all nirnoot does including the crimson variants. There's an NPC who's name I can't remember who says they don't grow back, but she's wrong it's about 10 in game days I think.
Sweetheart, I know kids dont go outside anymore but mushroom rings exist in nature. They appear where an ancient tree would have been. They grow along the outline thus in a circle
The sleeping sap tree is one of my favorites. I always go and fill up a vile of sleeping tree sap to save and sell to my in game wife Ysolda. Yes she is my wife in the game. I was trying to find a way to divorce her and marry another woman. Is there a video or videos that can give any way to be able to remarry? All of these are my favorites in this video by the way.
@EdwardCook-xq7jo I don't think it's possible unfortunately in the base game, it locks you into your first marriage. There may be mods that enable you to divorce and remarry though.
@mike-thegamingdad Ah okay because I play offline so I can't put any mods in. So I'm basically stuck being married to her. I'm actually okay with that because I wanted to try and see if I could find a way to get the inn in whitetun I forget the name from the innkeeper
@EdwardCook-xq7jo I think (not tested this myself), if you kill the innkeeper in Whiterun, Ysolda will move in 😅. As I say not tried that myself though
@mike-thegamingdad I seen a couple of her getting assassinated. One was by a bow and another by sword. Afterwards Ysolda took over like within that day or the next day. I'm actually going to try that and have Ysolda take over the inn.
@santipierinirees3994 most of the time yeah, I do have one save where I'm doing the Legacy of the Dragonborn mod for the first time. But other than that I play without them

Same. Despite around 30K hours now since release..I STILL find occasional new bits I didn’t know were hidden from easy view.
@@vexnaexsurely that took at least a few months of playing. What other game do you get that longevity
I figure the human skeleton in the mammoth skeleton could be another Star Wars reference. This person crawled inside of a dead mammoth to stay warm but, unlike Luke, didn't survive. Excellent video! It always warms my heart to see the love for Skyrim after all these years.
Yeah thats a great theory, could well be 😁👍
"Chicken Man"?? 'Fowl Necromancy' was RIGHT THERE!! 😂😂😂
@lewismacleod7099 yeah yeah okay 😅
20:03
So I found the Mushroom Ring yesterday while playing Skyrim and they’re actually very interesting folklore.
They’re known as Faerie Rings in old Irish tradition. Faeries are said to use them sort of as markets and gatherings places, where they trade, meet, marry, etc. it’s very bad luck for a human to walk into or even worse, damage a faerie ring, sometimes being said to be trapped there until the faerie feels like letting them go, or to dance with them forever while no time seemingly has passed for you.
@parkwaydrivern5089 yeau a few others have mentioned the lore behind faerie rings. Not that something I was aware of beforehand but it's very interesting!
I think the Lovers Tragedy one at around 10:00 might be a reference to Pyramus and Thisbe.
The story is part of the inspiration for Romeo and Juliet for those that don't know it, but briefly summarized, Pyramus and Thisbe were lovers forbidden by their parents to be together. So they decided to elope and planned to meet at midnight by a mulberry tree. Thisbe arrived first and was waiting when a lion approached. She hid, with part of her scarf catching on the mulberry tree. When Pyramus arrived, he spotted the scarf and the lion. Usually the story goes that Pyramus slew the lion, then killed himself believing the lion had killed Thisbe, but I have also heard a version where the lion killed him. Either way, Thisbe returns and sees Pyramus, dead, so she kills herself with his sword, the two laying together in death under the mulberry tree.
Of course, this scene isn't exactly the same, but you have lovers forbidden from being together, planning to elope together only to both end up dying. But as stated, there's always a predator encounter nearby, reminiscent of the lion from the story. And the woman is found under a tree, a juniper berry tree if I saw correctly, referring to the mulberry tree from the story. Even the subsequent altar to Mara could be considered a reference, since the original adaptation had the gods honour the lovers by changing the colour of mulberries to match the pool of blood. Obviously this isn't the same as someone putting an altar up, but there is still the symbolism of honouring their love with a reference to the gods.
@@Kahadi that's an awesome theory! I did always think this one felt a little Romeo and Juliet
At the wisp mother well, the basket with the book had a lockbox under it
20:04 A ring of mushrooms like that is called a “Fairy Ring”, and it is actually caused by old tree roots in the ground. (In real life) The developers probably just knew this and threw it in there as an Easter egg! Not witches, not alchemists, it was caused by lumberjacks!
@@devivoman 🤣 did not know that! Every day is a school day 😅
Yes but of course a fairy ring is always one mushroom type
A fairy ring is actually a single fungus. Mushrooms are the fruit of the fungi. Every year they expand a little wider. One in Wisconsin was over a mile wide bringing up the theory of what is called “super organisms”. I have seen where the Fly Agaric mushroom covered a single clearing ringed with pines. The caps were identical color for that year but each year they were a different color. My Masters is in Plant Pathology and my emphasis was mycology .
Beech trees grow in rings as root suckers come up at the furthest extent of the root span. It isn’t unusual to find a ring of Beech trees with the mother tree absent in the center.
@@michaeltelson9798 and beech nuts are quite tasty... if a major pita to get to. tiny, hard to crack shells...
I think that human inside the Mammoth skeleton was a poacher hunting Mammoths and while succeeded in killing it, it fell over right on top of him, crushing the poacher and killing him. When the bodies decomposed we're left with a scene that resembles a Mammoth eating a human
@Pen_Slinger yeah that's possible 😁 others have said it could be a star wars Easter egg (think it's episode 5 where Luke cuts the stomach of that beast to get inside and stay warm). Which is also a cool theory 😁
Enjoyed your video very much thank you. I've been playing skyrim since it first came out. 1st time was on ps 3, then xbox 350 now on pc. I'm 63 and it's my all time favourite game. I never get bored whst with the dlc coming out. Thank you
@transportbykdp that's great glad to hear 😁 my timeline is very similar, first on PS3, then PS4, now on PC. I'll never get bored of this game 😅
You didn't get into the real mystery of Hrodulf's house... which I only discovered when a Khajiit trader on Skyrim sent me there in search of his Moon Amulet. There's a trap door, inside which are two reavers discussing a private letter of the dead resident; lots of books; and a secret passage to a dead-end Dwemer ruin and chest. The body inside will have an Undying Torch, the only one in the game.
@thomasdarby6084 I've seen that cellar with the reavers in as I thought that might trigger his body appearing but it didn't. The part I hadn't found though was the secret passage with the body of his lover 😮
Holy shit, didn't know that!

Well, the Chill is literally Winterhold’s prison. Not some random unmarked location, but a prison where you’re sent if you commit a crime in winterhold.
First place I was ever put that I had to serve my time cos they neglected to put a lockpick in my prison pocket.

Way to contribute. 👏
Believe it is a prison for the mages guild, this would explain the summoned guards?

There is so much stuff in Skyrim. Even today I find a thing or two sometimes if you take a companion and let them fight for you even in bleak falls barrow you will find things you didn't know were there. I didn't know for example there is 3 chests in the same room as the word stone. Lots of hidden chests in this dungeon. Before you get the claw if you go straight to collapsed tunnel and smack away the webbing there is chest there. As you are going to enter bleak falls itself, turn left and go around the barrow and there is a strongbox usually with jewels on the side. A lot of times these days when I go to dungeons that I am bored with I take a companion or two and let them do all the fighting while I just look around and see if I can find something new.
@xineohpinakc264 yeah there is one up to the right near a waterfall isn't there. That one usually has some good stuff in it. Then there's another one on the left side, past the stair well that leads you out. That one for me usually only has gold or a few smaller things in it. I only found that latter one a year or so ago.
@@mike-thegamingdad Go around the the back of the word wall on the right and jump those rocks. There is a chest on top usually has some gold and jewels. You can barely reach it jumping and yes there is a another chest under the waterfall. There is a strongbox adept with jewels if you go around the entrance of the barrow to your left and there is a little cut out area it has that and an alchemy satchel also. Just amazing stuff I still find.
Great video! I need to check all of those since I've been only to few of locations from the list. I guess it'e time for another stroll through the chilly land of Skyrim...
@Salawon always a good day when Skyrim is loaded up 😁🙌🏼
This was a fantastic, and very detailed video. I absolutely loved it. I would very much love to see more of these. Thank you.
@Gameon22387 thanks very much 😁 I do have more stuff like this on my channel. If you look under playlists there should be one called Skyrim walkthroughs. There's quite a few videos on different topics in there. I did one about 5 months ago called hidden quests which is a bit like this, but there's also videos on the most tragic quests, all the treasure maps, alchemy, locations like the midden. I even did a full guide on the volkihar vampires. Hope you enjoy! 👍🏻
Nice video! This game never ceases to amaze.
At the ruin by the wisp mother's well, under the basket the skill book is resting on, is a strong box! Always flip baskets 'yall!
I can’t believe I’ve never noticed the well before. 🤣 I’ve definitely encountered that wisp mother (And all of the others I’m the game, to the best of knowledge), I just missed the well!
20:00 Fun fact, this is just how mushrooms grow in real life.
The part that we see is only a part of the body of the fungus. They're called fruiting and they're how the fungus reproduces.
A fungal spore will land on the ground and begin growing mycelium outward in all directions. These mycelium, which resemble roots, grow continuously until environmental conditions are right to drop new spores, at which point it will quickly grow fruiting bodies at the ends of the mycelium, creating a ring of mushrooms. The longer the fungus has been waiting for the right conditions, the wider the ring will be.
In some folklore they're called fairy circles because it was thought the mushrooms were grown and used as seats by fairies holding councils.
Interesting these locations.
As someone who likes to avoid fast travelling I've seen quite a few myself, but I don't think I've seen them all yet.
@Leto85 yeah the chicken reanimator was a new one for me, that and the skeleton inside the mammoth. Those prompted me to pull something together 😁
@@mike-thegamingdad I've heard of those. For me the gold veins on top of The Chill was what I didn't know.
The mushroom circle is often known as the Fairy Circle or Fairy Ring. It's more of a folklore easter egg in the game.
@rosegoldrose6249 yeah someone else mentioned that, they said it can happen where old trees used to exist and the fungi grow off the root network. Which if true I had no idea 🤯
@@mike-thegamingdad oh! I didn't know about that, that is really cool. Learning something new every day. I know from folklore fairy rings are like a portal to the fairy real but of course that is just story.
A ring of mushrooms in real life is called a “Fairy Ring”, so if I had to guess the ring of mushrooms probably has something to do with fairy lore, or was intended by developers to have something to do with a fairy quest.
Ooh, excited to maybe see some new unmarked areas!! Thank you!

Also, in the rowboat near Hrodulf's Shack, there is an amulet of Mara under one of the seats. There are also journals and notes in the basement of the shack, and a hidden room. Thanks for this video, there are two places you mentioned that I had never found, the very first one north of Solitude and the Shrine of Talos near Froki's shack. Did you find Notch's Pickaxe (from Minecraft) at the top of the throat of the world? Did you find the Star Wars Ep 5 reference SE of Winterhold in the Ice Cave (near where the Horkers surround the body of a dead hunter with a treasure map)?
@skentmar105 no problem at all 😁. I have found the Notched pickaxe near the top of the throat of the world but the star wars episode 5 reference I'm not sure? Is that the horker hunter campsite you find and then if you travel east, outwards towards the water, you find the hunters remains? If so I think I covered that location in another video for some reason but I didn't know the SW reference!
@@mike-thegamingdad The location is Bleakcoast Cave. Several Frost trolls hanging around and in one chamber of the cave complex there is a partial skeleton hanging from the ceiling with a sword on the ice below it. That scene appeared in Episode five of Star Wars (2nd SW movie actually released). This guy wasn't as lucky as Luke Skywalker.

@awarfish yeah I've been down there and seen the Reavers and the note from his lover. Another commentor said if you go down into the basement and then back to the scene near the boat his body should have spawned, but it didn't do it for me.

To this day it's the only prison sentence I've actually served in a TES game.
@@AwareWolfOnWheels haha that is mad 🤣 I'd be so annoyed
Been to most of them by accident. Was just wondering where The Chickenmancer is. lol. A couple I don't know if you know. Somewhere up in the mountains up north is a caravan of dead Bretons, forget exactly where and near The Island of Giant Nirnroots there is a dragon roosting on what looks like word wall, but there's no word there. Up somewhere around Peryite's Shrine there is a small shrine with a dead Bosmer woman who looks like she killed herself after doing the ritual feast of eating an enemy, or at least someone dead. On the shore of Lake Ilinalta, towards Halfmoon Mill there is a cairn with another Elf who seemed to have killed himself, he has a coinpurse, perhaps he took money to do something dishonorable then regretted it. Also behind Hillgrund's Tomb there's a little scene ,a bandit archer is sitting in the middle of a log bridge. There is another dead bandit at the bridge and down below a dead orc bandit with a dagger and some loot. Maybe a falling out over spoils? Past Windhelm there's an abandoned fishing camp and a journal. If you go in the water there's a huge swarm of slaughterfish, an overturnrd boat and two skeletons. Guess we know what happened there.
@patricialavery8270 awesome list of places there, thanks for sharing! A few of those sound familiar but I don't think I've ever seen the last one with the shoal of slaughterfish and the overturned boat! What a gruesome way to go!

So… I’m guessing you don’t know the folklore behind mushroom circles irl being a sorta “portal the the fairy/fae realm” and this is a thing that happens irl (though usually it’s only one type of mushroom afaik) the fact that deveopers put Fairy Circles in the game… and in more than one location either alludes to this particular belief- or is hinting that there’s some way to activate the magical portals in game (either to leave people speculating and trying everything they can) to access another realm on top of the real one perhaps?
I mean, you can go through the entire game and never once realize there’s a dark side UNDER Skyrim with glowing mushrooms and stuff which can only be accessed as specific locations in Dwemer ruins.
Same with how there’s another “realm” within Solsthiem through those dragon books.
You travel through the books in a realm called Memoria or something.
And even if you travel to Raven’s Rock you may never accidentally enter the book realm. So I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s yet another unexplored realm that connects to these Fairy Circles of Mushrooms.
But it could also be an Easter egg and a red herring with no actual function (unless it’s planned content for a different update… I mean they keep adding more features. Who knows…) but even if it’s just some interesting lore building that like maybe Spriggans enter Skyrim via these portals, so only a Spriggan could activate it… idk it’s more interesting to speculate.
@Gaz66d I didn't know that no, I also didn't know that these fungi circles are actually real like phenomenon. Apparently they appear on sites of really old trees as they feed on the old root network 🤯

Disappointed with Dragon Age 4 and tired of ESO, so while I wait for AC: Shadow, I started a new toon last night on Skyrim.
@SaminWA-mn4ug ah nice I hope you enjoy your new save 😁👍🏻
@@mike-thegamingdad Most definitely! There's only one other game I love as much as Skyrim and that is AC: Odyssey.

The sleeping sap tree is one of my favorites. I always go and fill up a vile of sleeping tree sap to save and sell to my in game wife Ysolda. Yes she is my wife in the game. I was trying to find a way to divorce her and marry another woman. Is there a video or videos that can give any way to be able to remarry? All of these are my favorites in this video by the way.
@EdwardCook-xq7jo I don't think it's possible unfortunately in the base game, it locks you into your first marriage. There may be mods that enable you to divorce and remarry though.
@mike-thegamingdad Ah okay because I play offline so I can't put any mods in. So I'm basically stuck being married to her. I'm actually okay with that because I wanted to try and see if I could find a way to get the inn in whitetun I forget the name from the innkeeper
@EdwardCook-xq7jo I think (not tested this myself), if you kill the innkeeper in Whiterun, Ysolda will move in 😅. As I say not tried that myself though
@mike-thegamingdad I seen a couple of her getting assassinated. One was by a bow and another by sword. Afterwards Ysolda took over like within that day or the next day. I'm actually going to try that and have Ysolda take over the inn.
@mike-thegamingdad I have a few bows and arrows to try it.
