He actually used chillrend , wich was stolen from Mercer's house, in front of Mercer. Well done Jon, your cover is blown
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking of that as soon as he pulled out Chillrend. Not that Jon would remember that that's where the sword was from, but still, a funny thing to happen.
I wonder if that's why Mercer Fry wanted to kill me?
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the account password. I would love any tips you can offer me
@Bishop Cullen instablaster ;)
@Elijah Tatum i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
wonderful; he just took the "atronachs are 50% stronger perk" and he is thriled that his dremora lord became stronger... Jon, Jon never changes
Thats probably good for MATN as a whole
I JUST REALIZED MERCER IS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR BECAUSE OF THE SKELETON KEY AND NOT HIS ACTUAL SKILL
While the Thieves Guild questline has a kind of poorly-done story to it, that _is_ one of the better bits. :)
Benor: "Hey, that felt good."
Jon: "Well, I managed to get off, but Benor hasn't."
Typical Jon/Benor relationship.
*Dragon lands 10 feet away and proceeds to burn Benor alive* "That dragon is somewhere very close"
MrSkuddly Must've been the wind.
Perception is important!?🤯🤣
No matter what some say
Well he wasn’t wrong 😅
"You're a lighthouse keeper, that mean's I'm gonna do whatever you ask me to do." JON, THE MOST ASSERTIVE SUBMISSIVE THERE EVER WAS. ALSO, HAS DAMN STRANGE KINKS.
"I'll help you, on the condition that you listen to my tale"
The light is so beautiful. How could I resist?
Jon of Skyrim sigh
"it says corsair and not bandit so I'll let him go"
Ah yes, corsairs, pirates, highwaymen, robbers, murderers, all fine. Bandits though? Burn em all
Raiders get shivved too.
"I happen to know a really good librarian. Actually, about 2 or 3 of them, I accidentally cloned him." LOL
'Mercer Fry' sounds like a Skyrim themed chip shop.
If I ever open a fish and chip shop, I'm stealing this. It will be full of gamers wearing Dragonborn t-shirts and the like.
Or it sounds like a version of Mercer that's walkin' on sunshine.
You mean that song by Karliah and the Waves? Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Ryan. A chip shop is a magical and delicious place where you buy your mandatory weekly portion of fish and chips.
Nimno74 I don't know if I should be disappointed or proud of you for that pun
Am I the only one that when Mercer Frey talks hears our famous friendly neighbour detective synth?
Gabbo The Awesome Valentines all over the place in skyrim
I had this pointed out to me and now I can't unhear it.
So when Mercer wonders which enemy from his past is trying to kill him.... EDDIE WINTER!!!
I don't think Nick Valentine would sell his sister in a second, though...
He helped me kill his brother...
Damn Stephen Russell, he's everywhere! Bethesda will be using his voice for years.
Oh my god Jon! Mercer makes it clear while talking to Karlia that he killed the old Guild Leader and after hearing that you act surprised that Mercer is betraying you?! Ah, your videos are so damn hilarious!
You gotta admit the couriers in Skyrim are dam dedicated to their job. They will find you and they will give you their package.
Absolutely live your videos Jon, the fact that you don't clickbait, and aren't a sellout are definite pros, and you are really underrated, keep doing what you're doing Jon!
I like you.
Many A True Nerd do you have an instagram? If you want to chitchat, mine is kadens_main
Many A True Nerd not to mention, you're very interactive with your fans, which a lot of UA-cam channels never, or rarely do, and when they do, it's to make themselves look good.
Jaun Jaffery and that bothered you so much that you took time out of your day to tell me? If so, I'll change it, to contain one more character sir.
Not a sellout? Hilarious! Everyone knows he is paid off by the Benor industry to make them look good.
I dont think anything in this series can really be as hilarious as when jon sees a bear and immediately panics. no matter how strong he gets. that moment where he can kill armies of draugrs but sees a grizzly and freaks out is always funny to me.
"You know Mercer, after this is over, I wouldn't mind traveling with you a bit more" ......Calmly waits a few minutes.... "wait, hang on." And there it is.
I died laughing when he said that. Having just recently started playing Skyrim since I have a Switch and there's no Fallout on Nintendo i just did those quests and this made watching these so much better.
"When this is over Mercer I wouldn't mind traveling with you" yeah about that Jon
Jon said Benor 50 times in this part making the Benor counter at 2258.
I can just imagine Jon's encounter with Barbus;
"Oh my God, is that a talking dog, it's a talking god"
Turns to Benor
"You're being replaced"
Turns to Barbus
"So what do you want?"
After finishing the conversation
"Oh my God he can be a companion! Benor, I am sorry but I found someone better"
Then complains that he dies because the dog can't do as well as the human he replaced.
And yes, this did happen in another game Jon did.
Jon, when you hit 90 conjuration talk to the conjuration teacher and a new speech option will be there. The quest he gets you gives you an item that you can use on the atronach forge. And while you're there, Arniel Gane has a series of quests that has some very interesting lore implications and a good weapon and good spell as a reward
Has no one told Jon that the dremora lord isn't affected by elemental potency?
Sharkiie I think he missed the actual word 'atronach' for some reason. Or assumes it applies to all conjured creatures I guess.
I was wondering about that. I didn't assume it was and I think he feels since it is a summons it should be affected but I always thought it only affected the Atronachs.
Shh, let him dream.
He's my Dremora Atronach. He's far superior to my Wolf Atronach.
Jon of Skyrim just stop it
"Oh it's just a basic dragon!"
I love video games.
I love how after Jon summons a monstrosity from hell right ontop of people and then they get worried by it and pull out their weapons he imediately just assumes there evil and murders them.
Corsairs are pirates Jon. You just left Pirates alone!
matn: leave the fox pick on someone your own size. *kills wolf*
snow bear: leave the wolf pick on someone your own size. *matn runs away*
When the Mercenaries sauntered up mid-conversation, though. I have not laughed that hard in ages.
If you don't get the wabajack I will find you and I will turn you into an omelette
Elder Statue i dont remember omelette making being one of its effects
H H He means he'll turn him into a sweet roll.
H H he may be referring to the well-known fact that Jon is, in fact, an egg carton :)
You're just a flipping statue. All I have to do is to move behind cover and your spell won't reach me!
Both responses to HH look like stuttering.
It would be pretty cool if Mercer noticed Jon using Chillrend.
A " bard " in elder scrolls is based on the classic Dungeons and dragons idea of one.
Essentially a bard in elder scrolls is a " warrior ", "mage " and " thief " in one, specifically you could call it a jack of all trades class or idea, Red Mages in final fantasy are also a good example, jack of all trades, master of none.
Man, Nick Valentine is pretty mean when you give him a sword.
I've already completed Skyrim 5 times...Jon, curse you for wanting me to play it again.
Dinj Valric Bertuso only five times?
Dinj Valric Bertuso 1400 hours. Still going strong.
Raving Nutter I have 500 on my pc and probably another thousand from when I was on console.
The abundance of puns in everything you do is greatly appreciated Jon
I'm so glad I binged 37 eps of this in the last week
I watched the first 7 episodes, fyi. I stopped, big mistake on my part.
Alternate titles include, "Oh Mercer me!"' or "Play of the Game: Mercer"
or getting mercer'd
Or Mercer Killing
How about: "It's just a prank, Jon!"
Read that in the most annoying Until Dawn character's voice.
Ross D "May the gods have Mercer on your soul" was another disregarded one
Freys a jolly good fellow
I think this might be a baby dragon it hasn't grown at its bones yet
Zorc Necrophades What worries me is I think Jon really thinks that is how babies work.
Only Jon would do an entire section that was specifically built for stealth by running through it head on.
There's an argonian in Solitude (Jaree-Ra, I think?) who has a quest connected to the lighthouse.
Wait. You're going to buy Benor flowers because you didn't notice him being gone for a while? Not for shouting him into various different places, making him an accessory to mass murder or the countless other acts of.....Jonness he's had to go through? Really? There aren't that many flowers in Skyrim Jon. And, even if there were, you'd either just eat them for the alchemy or sell them off to a merchant. :D
Damn that Mercer Fry and his backstabbing ways
Anybody else notice that Jon's using Chillrend, the blade he stole from Mercer's basement, as he's fighting alongside Mercer? lol
Evan Clearly, Mercer noticed and stabbed him for the betrayal...
Just so you know Jon, the Dremora Lord is not affected by "Elemental Potency," as it is not an Atronach. It is, however, affected by "Twin Souls", "Summoner" and "Atromancy".
I never enjoy skyrim let's plays but you're so entertaining I can't you've managed to bring a fresh take on skyrim something I thought was impossible at this point. Well done.
Jon, do you remember that "cool button"? Well if you hadn't taken the Bust of the Gray Fox in Mercer's house there would be a collectible - figure of a ship. And now you won't have ANY collectibles of the thieves guild. But they are glitchy: if you miss one and find next without previous, the next ones and previous will stop spawning. Also you have to sell them to Delvin (eventually you would get them back) in the correct order otherwise the same glitch will happen. And because the Bust of the Gray Fox was penultimate you lost all previous. Sorry, I know how like collectibles.
If you want a badass weapon for Benor, u should get him the Giants Club!! (unique weapon that does over 300 damage! - only companions can use it tho) This beast would more than compensate for his low level cap!
You need the calm spell, not the snow bear. Love you Jon. Oh, fast travel straight to the thieves guild marker, bit quicker than running through Riften every time.
Potent Atronachs only applies to, as it suggests, Atronachs! It doesn't apply to summoned Daedra (although you do get more powerful variants at higher level)
"Mercer, you're really cool. I'd like to hang out with you and adventure after this is done."
Me: "Oh. Oh you poor sweet child, Jon."
By the way, Jon, that wibbly magic that you thought drained your magicka that you mentioned before you died is actually YOU absorbing magic, thus replenishing a bit of your magicka.
NPCs and spike traps. Never gets old.
The weird magical wibbleys you spoke of are the Atronach Stone spell absorption effects.
I lost track of how many times you said "beah" within the span of a minute. Bless that beautiful Snow Beah!
Jon if my memory serves me correctly the dremora lord is not an atronach so he does not benefit from the atronach buff perks, whereas stormy/frosty/flamey would benefit hence the name change of the atronach to 'powerful atronach' (citation needed) after the elemental potency perk is taken.
Having done these quest before many times and watching you do them for the first time with your reactions and comments. It's so awesome, and those mercenaries showing up as they did oh wow, loved it.
He missed the chillrend that respawned :x
Dremora lord: I SMELL WEAKNESS!
Jon: Sorry, that would be me.
Love ya Jon. Been around since pre-25k. First video I saw in my sub box was the Golden Compass 25k sub special
I'm guessing those thugs are only hired because you killed the guards. I don't think they've ever sent anyone after me.
Benor was a bit too enthusiastic with his big stick. Hopefully all is good now.
Jon, you really should hone Chillrend, and just use it all the time.
Sorry if someone else has pointed it out already but - unless it's changed by the unofficial patch - the elemental potency perk does NOT affect the Dremora Lord summons. It sucks, but there you go. Stormy and Frosty will feel the benefit though.
Yeah, pretty sure it's not intended to, after all it's not an atronach, meaning it's not an elemental, but just an oblivion summon.
I think that treasure map shows the lady stone
I definitely thought it looked like the lake with the sunken dungeon in it that he's already visited--was it Ilinalta's Deep? Oh, and John, Elemental Potency doesn't affect Dremora Lords (although I think Atromancy *does*, for some bizarre reason).
It is the lady stone
Lmao I thought it was azura's shrine
chaosdevil150 I think it's the shrine to Boethiah
Sam Dennison nope the lady stone, you can see the sunken castle where you get azura's star.
The lady on the map is the Lady Stone, in the large lake to the West of Riverwood
The Adventures of Benor continues
Jon, if you want another little powerup, head due east from the lighthouse. There is a dungeon nearby that gives you a really powerful shout when you are outside. Good against dragons.
Jon, the Jarl of Falkreath sent you a letter ages ago telling you to visit him
The snowbear is still around😂😂😂.. I love it😁
Interesting to see John contemplating the moral ambitions and consequences of the thieves guild.
"That's why I'm physically incapable of coming in here early". Jon, I am 100% certain you would find a way :D
Just waiting for Jon to try building a house.
I like how Jon's approach to this dungeon was to hit things and wake them up ahead of time because he knew he wasn't capable of the stealthy-quiet avoid the traps and don't wake them up at all approach that was designed for this dungeon.
Jon, behind the table in Journeyman's Nook is a knapsack with another treasure map in it.
I watch this series like it's "Game of Thrones 2.0"
Or Game of Thrones like it's Skyrim 2.0 lol
Ok. That's a good title, Jon.

Quick tip from elder scrolls wiki: When equipped with the Assassin's Blade perk, shrouded gloves (or shrouded hand wraps), and dual-wielding daggers, performing a successful sneak dual-power attack results in three consecutive sneak attacks, thus granting a possible ninety times damage multiplier in a single attack, which will kill most foes.
Hey Jon, that treasure map you picked up wasn't showing a statue of Dibella, it was showing the Lady standing stone, giving you an idea of where to start to look. Greatly enjoy and look forward to the next part, and wish you luck!. Thank you very much, and goodbye.
Uhm.. Jon.. the.. the Dremora Lord isn't an Atronach.. it doesn't gain from Elemental Potency..
was about to post that. been buggin me since he started talking about it couple parts back
I see people complimenting Skyrim's subtlety with Mercer's use of the Skeleton Key to open unopenable doors, but no one mentioned Karliah's configuration of the Claw Door: Eagle Eagle Snake. Or, two Nightingales and a traitor
keep doing skyrim, love your videos
They didn't want benor there so that he doesn't murder Frey after he poisons you, lol
I love the letters from a friend. I once got one from apocrypha. Apparently old herma mora wanted me to know where a shout was.
Banish is probably the most profitable enchantment you should break down that warhammer just for that
Looks like The Doctor regenerated into a cat and got his chameleon circuit working again. Honestly, that makes the lighthouse just a little bit cooler.
great Video Jon
Already liked the video. I'm going to enjoy this.
Jon you missed a treasure map in journeyman's nook! it should be in the knapsack next to the table at the entrance.
Oh and a little model ship for delvin in snow veil sanctum, it was on that pedestal before the oil trap went off, could be anywhere in that area now.
I love that, for the reason Jon took Mercer's glass sword, he has resulted to a dagger
All these folks saying corsairs are pirates. This isnt necessarily true. Corsairs were often government funded privately owned ships used to capture merchant vessels in times of war. If we are to consider skyrim from a historical sense in this time there was probably a distinction between pirate and corsair especially as skyrim is in the midst of a civil war and they aren't immediately aggressive.
In this episode Jon walks into places and the occupants have only one thing to say. "Get out of here or I'll call the guards"
There should have been a model boat on that pedestal but it must have gotten blown off by one of the shouts. It's an item that that can be sold to Delvin and will then be displayed in the guild on the bookshelf behind Mercer's desk,
He looked directly at Borvir's Dagger multiple times but never highlighted it to see that it was special.
I want to see the Adventures of the
Lusty Argonian Maid. Mwuhahahaha!
At the catacombs door, all I could think of was trying to access Kellogg's house with Nick Valentine.
"This is no mine. It's a tomb."
It was somewhat annoying how long it took Jon to figure out that Benor was missing, especially when he repeatedly mentioned how powerful the FOUR of them were, even going on to name each one individually.
You have one level in illusion until you can get invisibility.
I assume that's a book the illusion college guy will be selling?
Yes sir!
Many A True Nerd jon you need to do the dark brotherhood quest to get a ghost follower then get the dead thrall spell from the summoner in the collage after doing his quests to get a sigil stone then do the dawnstar museum quest to kill a dreamora lord use spell on him now you will have a ghost and a demon that will stay forever. a human. and a atronach with twin souls perk so you will be op
Benor is op.
I may be wrong, but i'm pretty sure I read that the 50% bonus power to atronachs doesn'T work on dremora lord...only on atronachs
dear Jon...
We've been together for so very long
But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong?
Seems you don't want me around
The passion is gone and the flame's died down
I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem
That time that you made it with the whole hockey team
You used to think I was nice
Now you tell all your friends that I'm the Antichrist
Oh, why did you disconnect the brakes in my car?
That kind of thing is hard to ignore
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore
I knew that we were having problems when
You put those piranhas in my bathtub again
You're still the light of my life
Oh darling, I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?
You know, I even think it's kinda cute the way
You poison my coffee just a little each day
I still remember the way that you laughed
When you pushed me down that elevator shaft
Oh, if you don't mind me asking, what's this poisonous cobra
Doing in my underwear drawer?
Sometime I get to thinking you don't love me any more
You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill
Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will
You set my house on fire
You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers
Oh, you think that I'm ugly and you say that I'm cheap
You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep
You drilled a hole in my head
Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead
Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all
You never acted this way before
Honey, something tells me you don't love me any more, oh no no
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore
always in my heart... Benor
One time I had hired thugs chase me to the gray beards which was funny asf
According to the wiki I found, dremora lords are not buffed by elemental potency.
Hearing Nick Valentines (Mercer) voice makes me want to start another run at Fallout 4.
"Yes Nick, let's go help your robot friends."
Jon, you should go find Frostflow Lighthouse. It's in Winterhold. Be sure to grab and read the journals.
