- Skyrim is a game rich in places for the Dragonborn to visit. There are thousands of places to explore in The Elder Scrolls 5 and each boasts it’s own background, narratives and lore. While Skyrim is a land of many bustling cities and beautiful forts, the region is also home to innumerable spooky caves, ancient dungeons and lairs that can feel very uneasy at times. Skyrim’s not a game known for its ability to terrify players but that doesn’t mean it can’t. So today we’ll be taking a look at five more of the creepiest locations in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

Leave a like and I'll personally gift you a bottle of Colovian Brandy
Make it some mead with juniper berries mixed in and we have a deal
I want to add Nate to my collection.
I prefer argonian bloodwine
Classic Honeybrew mead for me nothing beats the sweetness
I like toes.
The creepiest location is definitely the cloud district located in the upper streets of whiterun. It's an unknown and mysterious place most players don't get to often. Stories say a terrible creature arrogantly roams the land attacking any commoner with hurtful insults of entitlement.
If you've read the stories of what players have done to that poor entitled creature... it is definitely the creepiest location, for that "creature"
lone wolf41696 not to mention there’s no pussy in the cloud district 😢
and it’s name is
Nazeem
Furthermore if you believe the rumors about those fellows in that mead hall up there...
lone wolf41696 noble six is in a cave.
You know a really creepy place? Its a settlement that needs your help, here, I’ll mark it in your map.
Oh God no
Wrong game goddammit!
Aw shit which place
@@youareallbots7536 I'd download that.
Well...time to get the mod where you are dead :D sorry Preston
By far the creepiest location in Skyrim - Whiterun when you don't get me a mammoth tusk. I'm watching you.
Ysolda gimmeyomammothtusk just steal the one behind the bar in the bannered mare
bro there’s like 4 total in whiterun
XD
Max I only know the one in the bannered mare.
I can remember back wen I was a noob in 2011, I always tried to kill a mammoth early game. Meaning giants. U get the gist of wat the ending result was
Name Not Appropriate lol i lucked out by finding the mammoth poachers in whiterun hold
Dude not gonna lie, Frostfall Lighthouse shook me up the first time I ever went there. What a magnificent way to tell such a dark story, and holy crap did that giant Chaurus at the end of the dungeon give me the creeps as I shot it full of arrows.
I've never been to the #1 location and I've cleared the game dozens of times. Crazy.
Same, after that place I went to every dwemer ruin and systematically killed every falmer I could
Saaaame, it shook me up too. Had no idea what I was walking into…
Ik
@@hardcaselj111Same, mate. Since then, I always go in like Aragorn "For Habd".
@@hardcaselj111yeah Falmer are evil. Makes you think how they were as snow elves...
Nothing creepy up here in the Cloud District. Too bad you don't get here very often.
Oh, but I've been there, very, very often. I have never seen you there tho...
You must not get there very often yourself if you think that's true.
Nazeem I picked your pocket for 40 gold and your not getting it back over my dead body !
You don’t get their very often after I absorbed your life force as a vampire lord
Does it have extra dip
Nate, I'm surprised in Faldar's Tooth you didn't mention that the bandits killed the dunmer cook. I thought they got tired of his grilled leeks and killed him, but the way you presented this alludes that they must have discovered what he was feeding them. His dead body can be found in one of the cages, covered in grilled leeks.
Me: I have nothing to watch
Nate: Uploads
Me: Finally, some good food
So your going to eat your phone
Mmmmmmm metal delicious
@@MoonyVoid with a side of microchips
EpicRenegade777
Microchips? My favorite!
@@EpicRenegade777 don't forget the glass shards yum
it’s sad when he uploads a video and i’m in school
I would've liked for you to mention that placing Habd's remains will grant you the permanent 'Sailor's Repose' ability. So it does seem that their souls watch from the afterlife, and thank you for showing decency. A bittersweet ending indeed.
“What could this cook be referring to-“
*see’s shelf
“Oh Dear”
nah, deer would have been alright. it was dog
"Dog is a fine meal."

Still no mention of the unsettling underwater location Pilgrim's Trench, I see. It's dark, eerily quiet, and I kept expecting to see some Lovecraftian horror rise from the depths.
Yeah, that is a creepy one....
Im late to the party but its also a pretty chilling moment when you see the icon in the distance and swim over to it only to realize you're above it...
Im sure theyve got a mod for that, somewhere.
Anything underwater makes me feel very uneasy and I get goosebumps.
@@ItzRogue I am genuinely scared of anything that is below me under water ;-;
Others may think these locations are creepy, but I think all Skyrim players see these places as loot ripe for the picking.
never thought you have time playing skyrim since you always commenting.
Justin Y. LOL 😂 definitely bro 🙏
I love you.
@@teddyfresh9605 damn these comments do not age well lmao
Bruh the first time I came across the Falmer I nearly shit myself. Still hate going into Dunmer ruins cause of those creepy assholes
Frostflow Lighthouse was the first time I had ever seen, or heard, a Chaurus. Also, growing up, we always had Silverfish in our basement, so I was deathly afraid of those. Let's just say that it took me about 3 hours to complete Frostflow, with all the lights on, and the sound off.
We don’t have silverfish in my state so I had to look them up!
5 creepy location: dungeons
Me: Haelga’s Bunkhouse.. the unspeakable things done with that trout and honey..
also Haelga: “they’ve got curved swords!”
You probably will have a curved sword after visiting Haelga's Bunkhouse ;).
tyranitararmaldo XDD
tyranitararmaldo my experiences support that claim!
Does that mean she likes the angle of the dangle?
*r/cursedcomments*
#1 creepiest location: Where the hell Nate finds all of his knowledge from.
Apocrypha!
Oh wow thanks for replying
@@TheEpicNate315 i was going to say that until I saw your comment
"welcome to the endless stacks of my library."
@@TheEpicNate315 Daedric Prince Confirmed!
There really is something about Tovald's cave that makes it really unsettling
It reminds me of the horror film “the descent” in that it’s a seemingly endless underground cave system filled with blind carnivorous monsters. It’s probably the most terrifying place in Skyrim. I’ll never forget the first time I went through there...
Frostglow lighthouse (I think that's what it's called) always creeped me out too
Pretty much anywhere with Falmer and Chaurus gives me goosebumps
It's a tragedy that starts out small with a couple of hunters and then balloons into a bunch of refugees only wanting to escape the Red Mountain and survive, only to fall victim to Falmer. It's one of the best stories of Skyrim you can come across. What was not pointed out is this is the end point for the Barenziah Stones quest, where you go to find Barenziah's Crown. So after collecting all of those stones, you are then subjected to one of the saddest events of Skyrim and Morrowind that nobody else knows. I would've loved to have been able to tell Vex what I found there, and take her attitude down a notch.
@@samsonguy10k Wow...! So to get the Prowler's Profit perk, the devs really _do_ run our Thieves' Guild Dragonborn through the wringer, from the beginning to the very end of the quest...! :-(
*Sees EpicNate notification*
*Murders it to death with his mouse*
*Shouts* not murder
Instructions unclear. Broke my screen
You should probably give his mouse back
Ha nice
Nate: The College of Winterhold
Me: Ahh, the Midden
also i wish there was a mod that allows you to turn frostflow lighthouse into a player home, and have a small graveyard outside to honor habds family
Place a tent and fast travel to it. Next best thing
I certainly couldn’t live there, knowing what I know about the place.
So, while adventuring through Skyrim a while ago i came across an interesting unmarked location. It was a small necromancer area complete with necromancer. The thing he was raising from the dead was actually chickens though. The center of his necromancy ritual was a chickens nest on a small make shift alter. There are 3 eggs in the nest. Grabbing an egg will spawn an undead chicken. This area is in the rift if i recall. I took pictures of the nest and the location on the map if you're interested in checking it out.
Damn, being trapped in a cave system and being picked off by mutated cave dwellers? That sounds like some sort of found footage movie!
Sounds like the Mines of Moria.
Ya don't say...
@@Haven18 now that you mention it thats terrifying, that place gave me chills
The descent
And what's worse is it's the anniversary of losing my child and partner in an accident and the person my partner was cheating on me with is the one leading the expedition and they lied about having a map!!
Nate: "...and I wouldn't invite my worst enemy down here."
Me: "I would!"
I'd bring a cask of Amontillado!
I’d bring Nazeem down there
@@bronsonpatten7188 his lasts words will be " At least you never made it to the cloud District"
What did they do?!?
I’d bring a Paralyze spell and a giant
Speaking of dead horses, has anyone ever had a dead horse drop out of the sky mysteriously on them/ a few feet away? This happened to me once on the road to Fort Neugrad (near Helgen). Yuck!
I had that happen
I also had that happen with a dead Dragon
M’aiq has been to many places. The scariest part was there were no calipers

Last Time I was this early, the arrow to the knee jokes were still in fashion
yoo its justin Y
You're so early the arrow just left the string.
Heyoo again Justin
Why are you here, I JUST WANNA WATCH NATE IN PEACE REEEEEEEEEE
@Francisco Méndez Grajales me too...:D
13:44 : SKYRIM is an arachnophobe's worst nightmare, I assure you!
All the more incentive to play and kill them
My friend is such an Arachnophobe that he won't even place cobwebs in Minecraft, one this quarantine ends, I know which game I'm showing him
play skyrim in VR its... fun
Not gonna lie; that Frostflow Lighthouse crawl gave me the willies!
That poor family !
Next ten tiny details
First fought dragons name is mirmulnir (sounds like mjolnir) guards tor (thor) and hroki(loki) were carried off according to a guard you can meet at the tower
That doesn't make any sense, thought. Mjolnir carried Thor and Loki off? Is this a reference to fan comics where Mjolnir is wielding Thor?
First time I went into Frostflow early on in my first playthrough I got as far as the foyer when I heard the click-click-click-click of the chaurus. No idea what it was at the time, but I noped on out of there pretty fast.
Me: *watching video, knowing I've been to these locations*
Also me: "WAIT THERE'S A SECRET ENTRANCE-- MOM THERE WAS A SECRET ENTRANCE"
SECRET ENTRENCE! THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN! SECRET SECRET SECRET SECRET ENTRENCE!
Secret tunnel! Secret tunnel!
Honestly, I’ve always viewed The Midden as being a bit like The Colleges’ jail…
I kinda saw it as the off limits areas that harry potter and his friends always go to cuz it kinda feels like you're in hogwarts when you're in the college. Toldfir is basically dumbledore etc. etc. Not really a huge fan of harry potter but it kinda felt like that.
Wait what happened to being told how BIG Skyrims world is ? We'll forget if we're not told regularly....ahhhh....
That lighthouse...I came across that place in my first play through at a low level and got torn apart ahaha
How low of a level?
Was 10 years ago dude can’t remember. But I walk in and was like aww cool, went down stairs and ripped apart 😂
@@adidasbhoy8212 oh gotcha. I'm a level 20-25 so just wondering.
20 aye man you’ll be fine
@@adidasbhoy8212 Alright
I'm pretty sure Faldar's Tooth is a possible location of a Companions' Quest where you have to steal some Silver Hand plans. Considering the companions are Werewolves, this adds to the aura of spookiness surrounding the place, and begs the question, how did the Bandits of the fort, get the plans? Are the Silver Hand secretly supplying the bandits with wolves and dogs in exchange for their help against the werewolves? Did the Bandits manage to capture a werewolf and use it in the dog-fighting ring. There's just this atmosphere about it that is extra spooky if you happen to be a werewolf member of the Companions.
You forgot the scariest: Night Mothers... "Coffin"
Right?!?! I legit closed the game and didnt play again for 2(!) Month
Ciciro probably climbed In there before, doing god knows
I play in Vr… so yeah
Kreeper5k do you like frostbite spiders
Commander Cody it um... mildly terrifying
Nate is the type of guy who over-explane a totally boring subject but makes it the most amazing thing at the same time
So the incident in Tolvald's cave is literally the movie "Descent"?
Except the falmer would fuck up those other cave people
Fort Frostmoth on Solstheim isn’t really creepy to me but it did hit me hard. Just seeing the skeletons of people that died buried in ash is really heartbreaking.
Tovald's cave is a nightmare with a darker dungeon mod installed.
Literally you can't see where to go without a torch equipped and even then it's easy to miss the right turns in the cave system in the darkness. Spent an hour once in there even after eerything in a large room was dead trying to find my way out.
And the spider cave always seems to be either where the Forgemaster's Fingers, the Queen's Sword, or the Ancestoral Shield is located for me.
Though I always wait to have Inigo with me before exploring that cave as he loves killing everything in there and runs ahead every time even when set to be less aggressive.
I have an ungodly amount of hours in skyrim. I thought I’ve seen it all. I had no idea about the button leading to the vampires in that cave.
I need to find this cave
That lighthouse, I swear I remember reading a book in Oblivion about it and the family that moved in.
The Silver Hand fortress that we visit with Aela is pretty disturbing.
Just after the Circle Initiation? Definitely. If there is one place that gets you sympathetic to werewolves, it is there. I've gone there more than once with high sneak and take all of them out as a ghost in the night. Without Aela, of course, as she is no ghost. Her sneak is decent, but only as a hunter, not as an assassin.
@@samsonguy10k I agree, it is definitely one of the few places that makes you actually want to side with werewolves. That goes to show that the real monsters are sometimes the ones who fight those who are literally/physically monsters.
Ah nah its not that disturbing. Rather- well have you ever got lost in one of these falmer-infected dwemer-fortresses, where you walk for ages without getting out?
Not disturbing either.
Nah, For me the most disturbing is the former chantry of auriel, The frozen dead falmer in place, pretty disturbing
@@twiddlerat9920 and how they just splinter apart and you can see the blood frozen in the ice
Faldar's tooth was once a fortress protecting the roads between Ivarstead and Riften, bandits took over after the guards and military were weakened enough by the war against the Thalmor, the bandits could be generic bandits or members of the silver hand faction depending on if your given a task going to there by an elite Companions member. Tolvalds cave was a trade route turned escape route turned falmer cave dungeon, its an area you'll be sent to at the end of "no stones unturned" bonus Thieves guild quest, after securing the 24 stones of Barenziah.
I got a fetch quest to get either a sword or a lute(can’t remember which one) from that last dungeon and was so perplexed by the vampires just being there. It just seems so out of place in a spider infestation.
I'm somewhat surprised that you didn't mention Apocrypha. Though I've grown quite fond of it, I was quite disturbed the first time I found myself transported there. The monsters there absolutely freaked me out at first too. Don't even get me STARTED on how many times I've been jump scared by tentacles popping out to smack my character from getting too close to them.
i know im a biiit late but the seekers (the lil guys) are hypothesized to be researchers who overstayed their welcome
theres a book wrotten by a mages assistant iirc where a mage went to apocrypha and would communicate via telepathy and rventualy the transmissions got all garbled and weird before completely stopping
The tentacles that come out of the drink are actually really terrifying. The ocean and Lovecraft theme make it so scary.
That place was so irritating to get out of or figure out where you're going but it was really different and cool
Just wanted to let you know that im really thankful that youre still producing more and more original skyrim content, ty so much, keep it up!
Early squad early congrats on 600K
13:43
“This place is an arachnophobe’s worst nightmare.”
Which is why Phil made Dan play through the cave in VR, if anybody remembers those two.
In Windhelm, the guards have dialogue warning travelers to stay away from Crovangr Cave and that its a Vampire Den XD.
All of the Falmer dungeons creep me out. But the caves that had the Feral Falmer absolutely terrified me the first time I saw em.
It amazes me that I still have so much to see in this game. So glad I can see new things and explore caves.
You know your early when the video says “no views”
Last time I was this early, someone got murdered to death. My friend Gina and I adore your videos. Keep being awesome man 💜
How in Oblivion are you still finding secrets in this game 😂 it's been 8 years!! Not complaining at all, but it's crazy!
Exactly. Oblivion, Apocrypha

Kazuma - kun “Not for long” -the Falmerslayer
@@bigredwolf6 The best part about your joke is that an elder scrolls goblin slayer rip-off would actually be lore-friendly. Just get an Argonian conjurer, elven archer, or human priest as a follower and you'd be golden.
Kazuma - kun Yea my favorite Skyrim build is to be a dwarven reclaimer, and I clear every single dwarven/Falmer related location and quest, but I hate sword and shield. So I’ll usually go with advanced dwarven crossbow and that special helmet that gives you the steam breath attack.
@@bigredwolf6 the goblin slayer uses all kinds of weapons. Not just sword and shield. Guy also uses crossbows, bombs (which you could substititue with flame magic), magic scrolls, etc. He uses the right tool for the job. You don't have to use shield.
Me: *GET FUCKED*
I really liked that the Anniversary Edition or at least the pet related creation gave a quest and a little bit of explanation to that last location. Seems that one, at least, can comfortably be accepted as canon.
"hey!, how's it going guys? its Nate here" > instantly hit like
Hey Nate it’s guys here
The creepiest location in the universe is a UA-cam without Nate
Great video as always. I've always been fascinated with the creepy part of Skyrim and its about time to see a video about it.
Cronvangr cave does have a quest, sort of. If you have the "Pets of Skyrim", the tamed spider pet is found in that cave. Also, if you accept one of Alea the Huntres' quest to fight beasts, this is a potential location she sends you, stating that the spiders are the problem that needed to be dealt with. It still gives any arachnophobe nightmares, especially if this is a location a quest ends up sending you too. It's probably the only cave that has the most amount of spiders since the entire cave (aside from the vampire section) that is exclusive spiders.
Back in the day I was so scared of the Dwarven ruins I remember I'm so scared that I ran all the way to Blackreach and I it got even more scarier so I went inside the closest house... oh the good old days😁
The Nordic Beebo similarly I had a fear of Nordic ruins and the drauger
...was it the lab... Was it the lab O.P?

You should try one of these types of videos with Elder Scrolls online, it seems to be a massive game with plenty of great lore.
The last time I was this early, the Red Mountain hadn't erupted yet.
Nice another EpicNate list!! I'm surprised this wasn't released on Skyrim's anniversary. Great vid as usual though.😊
Keep the Skyrim videos pumpin bro, it’s nice to see I’m not the only one still playing this game hah.
I literally came upon Cronvangr cave by chance. I had done the Skyrim storyline, had done all of the guild storylines, had completed the expansions, pretty much everything. All I really had left to do was to explore every inch of Skyrim, so I began by going to the first place I that would pop up on my compass, after clearing out a couple of caves, THIS was the third one I found. I went in, cleared out the spiders, commenting about how much I hated spiders, and was about to leave when I spotted that button on the wall. I only even spotted it by the command prompt popping up as I was leaving. Finding the secret underground house of Vampires certainly caught me off guard to say the least.
I knew about the cave of spiders, and usually go there in every playthrough if I head out that way. Never knew about the secret vampire cave, though!
This game has been out for almost a decade, and people still discover new things about it every day.
As an arachnophobe, I can confirm the evil spider cave of death. The giant spider noticed Serana before it did me, and jumped towards her. I was too busy looking at something else, and didn’t notice it until it landed on me. I have never screamed so loud.
Nate, you are the best! Always looking forward to your videos. Much love from Belgium!!
The story of the lighthouse struck me so much that I installed a mod exclusively to collect and bury their bodies outside the lighthouse.
Crazy they're still someone playing this game out there in 2019/20. Honestly, been wanting to jump back into it.
Jupiter I actually just reinstalled today.

You can be sent to the spider cave during the mission "A new order" where you recruit gunmar
Love you videos. Great work and attention to detail.
frostflow lighthouse was a lighthouse in the pale that helped luminate the shore of the sea of ghosts long ago, eventually becoming a home for a redguard family. there is an objective you get for entering the lighthouse, but no other quest will direct you there. the objective is to delve deep into the caverns below the lighthouse to discover the creature that has slaughtered the entire family, a chaurus reaper, huge in stature. kill it to complete the objective. if you also loot the corpse for the remains of the father, and toss them in the lighthouse brazier to grant his final wish, you'll be rewarded the sailor's repose, increasing how much healing spells heal you.
Me: having a mental breakdown
Notification: a new video from nate
It seems like god is still on my side
Nate, we need food-related episodes for Thanksgiving.
been on a few binges of your videos. loved skyrim, loved oblivion, and i'm replaying morrowind right now(yes, i also love it). cheers!
Man, i feel like i hasnt played Skyrim enough, cause i didnt know 2 of those locations. Excelent work, Nate!

keep up the good work love the video man
Mark my words... Nate's damn nachos will be mine!
Dear Jarl Ulfric..
IM DEFECTING TO THE EMPIRE! They have better Benefits :D
This said it was posted 5 seconds ago?!
Video was much needed 🥺
It was part of a companions quest for me, Aela sent me to clear out "beasts that were attacking settlers" and when I found the vampire lair I wondered immediately if it was the spiders (that people seem to know about) causing the disappearances, or if it was the vampires.
The quest itself ended up being completely by killing the spiders and didn't have anything to do with the vampires, but it still made me wonder (I also wondered whether the vampires took up residence in the chamber to avoid suspicion since most people would see the spider evidence and say "nope, absolutely not!"
i was here so early dragons still ruled tamrei
l
Last time you were this early the Eldergleam was a sapling.
Funny thing about Cronvangnr Cave I only recently discovered that secret passage with the Vampires a couple of weeks ago, and I only found out because that small blue frostbite spider pet from the CC pack "Pets of Skyrim" Was located where the vampires were . So, it is just like Nate said about coming here for a fetch quest¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
There's this weird place at the back of autumnwatch tower, seems like part of Dwemer ruin, a beacon in the middle and surrounded by 4 passive wisp's, both creepy and peaceful.
Wow, nearly at 600k Nate! Crazy man, I've been here for a while! 😅 Congrats on the success!
I would love to see Nate do secret locations in the outer worlds.
So, um do you have a list of secret locations in The Outer Worlds?
