Secret Weapons Of Skyrim

Dagmar Defender of the Bunnies of Skyrim. There's no such thing as an 'Ebony' version of the Nightingale Bow. It requires an ebony ingot to be smithed no matter when you receive it, but it's not an ebony weapon and the Ebony Smithing perk will not improve it. The best Nightingale Bow is awarded after you reach level 46. This page lists all Unique Weapons that can be obtained in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Weapons range from swords and maces to war axes, battleaxes, greatswords, warhammers, bows, and daggers. Unique weapons can be found during exploration or as quest items as part of a specific quest.

Skyrim is a massive open world, with so many tiny details that you may never discover them all. With the recent release of Skyrim Special Edition, there are still plenty of secrets to jump in and find. Here are the 15 greatest Skyrim secrets that will make you wanna replay it immediately.

Hidden Bosses – Vulthuryol, Karstaag And The Reaper

These three hidden bosses are tough to find and even tougher to bring down. In the ruins of Castle Karstaag, the ghost of the frost giant appears if you bring his skull to his long forgotten throne. The Reaper appears once you collect three reaper gem fragments. The ghostly executioner charges forward with his trusty axe, spewing green slime and summoning throngs of minions. The last hidden boss is Vulthuryol, a massive dragon living under the Tower of Mzark. Use Unrelenting Force on the globe in the middle of the room and he’ll swoop down and attack, quickly causing trouble for any unprepared adventurer.

Skyrim is a game so massive that you can explore the tundras for days and still not see everything. Even if you’ve slain every dragon, joined every guild, and completed every quest, the game is just full of secrets that might just slip you by. One of the best things about Skyrim? It's on everything. It's like the Minecraft of first-person fantasy RPGs. Get Skyrim on Switch or the Skyrim Legendary Edition on PC, it's the same awesome game, with the same cool touches you may have missed. Here are 9 Skyrim Secrets you might not know about.

The Notched Pickaxe - Minecraft Easter Egg

Arguably the most classic of Skyrim secrets, it still deserves a mention for those who haven’t found it. Travel to Skyrim’s highest mountain peak, the Throat of the World, and climb to the top of the summit. Here you’ll find a very special Notched Pickaxe embedded in some malachite ore. This is a callback to the incredibly popular Minecraft, created by none other than Markus “Notch” Persson.

Infinite Arrow Trick

This little secret is a must for any archer thief. Find an NPC who often practices his archery against a target dummy, and pickpocket his arrows, replacing them with one arrow of high quality. The NPC will then shoot multiple arrows of that type at the target, letting you gather multiple arrows from the dummy.

Choose Your Own Adventure

When questing across the land of Skyrim, it’s easy to forgot to stop and read some books now and then. Why not take a comfy break and have an adventure in a book! The book Kolb and the Dragon: A book for Nord Boys, is actually a choose your own adventure styled book. Just pick a path at the end of each page and try to get a good ending, which isn’t as easy as it sounds. No cheating!

The Headless Horseman

One of the more spooky secrets in Skyrim, you can find a Headless Horseman roaming the wilds on his spectral steed. He can be hard to locate, but if you manage to find and follow him to his final destination, you’ll find yourself at Hamvir’s Rest, where along with a number of undead enemies, you can find a coffin with a helmeted skull. Too Spooky For Me.

The Chill: Winterhold’s Jail

The Chill represents one of Skyrim’s more sneakier secrets. It’s location is often missed, as its found almost off the north edge of the map, past the College of Winterhold. This cave is actually a jail for Winterhold, and being mages and all, they went and made a Frost Atronach as a guard. You can actually get sent here by getting arrested by a Winterhold guard, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Even if you escape, you’ll have to contend with three more Frost Atronachs waiting outside.

Hidden Peaks of Solstheim

These next few secrets can only be found with Skyrim’s final DLC expansion: Dragonborn. The DLC island of Solstheim has much to hide, like the 4 hidden peaks that represent some of the highest points of the island. You won’t even see this location icons on your display until you are nearly at the top of the peaks, and they require a bit of platforming to summit. If you reach the top, you’ll be able to fast travel back at any time for some amazing views.

Ride an Invincible Dragon

The Dragonborn DLC featured the ability to ride dragons, but what good is a dragon that’s just going to either die or turn on you? If you travel back to the Throat of the World after learning the new shout, you can summon your personal dragon to the ground from where he flies around the peak, and ride him wherever you please through fast traveling. Best of all, he’s an important NPC that can’t be killed, and he won’t turn on you like other tamed dragons.

The Ebony Knight

If you’ve never heard of the Ebony Warrior, don’t worry. You have to get to level 80 in Skyrim until this guy will show up on your doorstep, asking for one simple request: A duel to the death. This guy isn’t a pushover either: Entirely clad in enchanted ebony armor, he’s got everything from the best weapons to dragon shouts of his own! He’s easily one of the toughest enemies you’ll fight in the game, so don’t feel bad if you want to bring a friend...or a dragon.

The Spider Imbuing Chamber

The Dragonborn DLC also features a little known crafting area known as the Spider Imbuing Chamber. Once you’ve cleared White Ridge Barrow on the island of Solstheim, you’ll find a large crafting device that inputs gems and albino spider pods, and outputs throwable exploding spiders. You heard me. You can customize the effect of the spider with different gems, and stock up on spiders to truly become: Spiderborn.
