So, just in case you didn’t know, if you hold down shift you can eat food without picking up food. But I’ll assume you just knew this and just really enjoy that gud succ as a vampire.
Damn this is pretty good, I assumed you were a much larger channel until I looked at the sub count I think Khajiit would have been a really good choice for this. Their unarmed attacks deal only one less damage than a deadric sword so you'd have a good option for when your magic ran out, and it'd mean as a vampire, you could actually attack during the day since spells wouldn't be your only source of damage. And not only that, but in survival, Khajiit get a passive warmth bonus so you wouldn't almost freeze to death everytime you step outside lmao, both would've been a huge help in that first Alduin fight I think.
Trust me when I say that during that Alduin fight, it was in the list of options I considered lol. Had things taken a slightly worse turn, there was a non-zero chance I restarted the entire run to switch races. Really glad I found a way around that lol.
Argonians also have lots of good perks. Sure, they have a 25% weakness to cold, but they also get higher unarmed damage (but less than Khajiit), can eat raw meat, have a 50% disease resist, waterbreathing, and their special power is a massive health regen, which would be extremely useful if your only other source of healing is your empty magicka pool.
I did a vampire run awhile back and fire was terrifying to deal with until I got fire resist armor, and trying to find armor that would replenish hp and magic during the day was rough. It was still a really fun run though, I learned a lot about how vampires work in Skyrim through that run.
HOLY SHIT, YOU CAN MAKE GOOD VIDEOS. i was genuinely surprised to scroll down and see that you didn't have at least 10k subscribers. i genuinely see you rivalling the likes of dougdoug and smallant. keep at it, i promise you'll get there
16:55 Fun fact, you can just skip all that and go straight to Esbern. The Ratway is always open and so are the Ratway Vaults. Esbern will greet you at his door just as usual.
edit: just gonna edit this anytime i have something to say you can put gold into a container also lesser ward or really any ward completely negates dragons breath you can deadass just go straight to esbern non of the thieves guild stuff is necessary you can head straight to septims's place bypassing the college using clear skys removes the meteor sworm efect alduin uses the parthanax strat is honestly brilliant for better damage stagger your usage of the flames spell to stack as many cases of the burn over time damage as possible for the same cost while i do admit wherewolf is useful for this i would actually reccomend vamp lord
Right! Amen!!! I am so excited to see anything else he does. He ended the video saying: Force Balance. Which if you translate it to Star Wars. I love it!!!!! :)))))
FYI, you can eat directly from a storage container or a corpse's inventory by holding shift and pressing E on food (in a similar vein you should be able to read from an external container so if you ever find a spell tome or a skill book in a chest or something, you can read it without it ever going inside your inventory. you can even read books from inside the pickpocket UI without ever removing them)
For this one, argonian seemed problematic due to the additional weakness to cold added to their race for survival mode. I actually have an upcoming video where I play argonian, though, and the run would have been significantly more difficult as any other race.
Technically, if you're looking at your inventory by accessing a container, gold does appear as an item (which is how you are able to store it in containers)
This was an amazing video/challenge I subscribe for you Just recently started a Skyrim UA-cam channel. I think it’s awesome to see people still having this much fun with a 13-year-old game. Thank you for the great video!
Just found this channel and I have now mentally named you “Raysfire but make it Skyrim”, which is a compliment don’t worry, but I am shook how “few” subscribers you got. The quality is equal to all the large challenge run channels of which I am an enjoyer. Keep it up! Edit to add: Having you pop out from behind different things and at random angles as you talk tickles my ADHD brain just right. Love to see it😂
0:44 - I've never seen any of your videos before, but because you used Ape Escape music within the first minute of this video, I already think you're cool.
Instead of attracting sanguinare vampiris, you could have probably done the first few missions of the dawnguard to become a vampire lord. it would not only have allowed you to feed, but also unlock the vampire lord form to help in combat. great video!
Can't believe you never used the clear skies shout to stop freezing to death while reading the scroll or fighting Alduin. Great video though, was a blast to watch!
Ok i would have also allowed 0 weight items like lockpicks. Also i wouldn't count quest companions because you aren't able to tell them to go away! Great video (:
I have been waiting years to hear Dark Cloud music in the background of a youtube video and finally like a moment of clarity I hear the combat theme at like 17 minutes in! Literally been waiting so long
You don’t have to join the thieves guild to get access to the rat way. You can just go there, you don’t even have to ask anyone in the ragged flaggon you can just run through. You also don’t have to impress Brynjolf. You can just go in to the Bee and Barb. The quest fails, you get no gold, Brynjolf is disappointed other than that nothing changes and the quest progresses as normal. Quite an interesting run.
one small but great tip for the flames spell, do not hold down the spell, it uses a lot of mana as a flamethrower, instead use it like a semi auto pistol, puff, puff, puff and you retain all the damage ticks but use way, way, way less mana so you can spam it for longer and thus get more damage out of your available manapool..
12:52 Nice choice of using the Demon's Shaft from Dark Cloud, well cultured. In for all the music of Dark Cloud even at the ending. Yeah I ain't trying this challenge, I ain't a masochist.
Without having watched the whole video at all, bretons start with conjure familiar, which i feel would have been pretty convenient to have as a tank, especially with the reduced gealth from the cold. Whether you'd count a summon as a companion, I guess is up to you
I was worried for a bit when you abandoned the Companions right before you go lycanthropy. But I see that you wanted to try something different/more unique instead. I do wish that a vampire was immune to the cold so that Elder Scroll cutscene moment wasn't as torturous for your build. Great video though! I look forward to more from you!
Totally fine for the rules. Like quest mandated followers. Disallowing those means the only way to finish the main quest is extremely glitchy since it's impossible to show Delphine that you can eat dragon souls.
You don't need to join the thieves guild to rescue Esbern. You can just go to him straight away. The same is true for the College of winterhold and Septimus Signus.
Just so you know, you don't have to do any Thieves' Guild quests to get into the Ratway and talk to Esbern. The Thieves' Guild don't mind if you walk through the Ragged Flagon even if you're not a part of their crew
@KeijoKango In anniversary edition (maybe other versions too, not sure) there is a note on the door to the ratway held by an iron dagger. You can't enter the ratway without taking one of them unless you have talked to Brynjolf. Clicking anywhere on the door will continually open the note until you take it. Since the note is an unnecessary item, I failed Brynjolfs quest so it wouldn't be there.
Pretty sure the alduin section can be done a lot faster when he is grounded if you become a werewolf right off the bat and just run into him and spam running attacks
No need to gamble for the spell tome. 100 in speech (or 70 with persoasion perk), wearing the amulet of articulation or being on the quest "Elder Knowledge" allow to get in without knowing/learning the required spell.
Khajiit are indeed a pretty good choice for survival. Extra unarmed damage, extra warmth, the ability to east raw meat. Just that the special power is made redundant by the ability to turn up the monitor brightness. Argonians have a lot of good traits. Disease resist, more unarmed damage, raw meat, waterbreathing. Plus a power that massively increases health regen. The downside is a weakness to cold, and Skyrim is a cold place. Nord have frost resistance and extra warmpth plus the ability to let people bugger off. Not bad, but very plain. Orcs have berserker rage. That has always been pretty overpowered.
going for a Khajit would probably have made Alduin easier, since your fists are insanely strong for early game, which you never leave if you dont level up.
so you don't actually HAVE to engage with Brynjolf's quest at all, you can just go into the ratway and enter the ratway vaults through the Ragged Flagon without talking to Brynjolf at all
Fun fact: Clear Skies will clear out Alduin's meteor storm
That’s actually hilarious
Badass!
Plus you can skip the skuldoffin with some mountain goat tactics
wait whaaaa thats so cool
2k hours, and I never knew this
I like to imagine a npc tossing you an item and your 6'3 high elf immediately spiking it to the floor.
It’s crazy how there’s youtubers who can make videos with this high quality so early on, great work and I hope you continue
i agree!! i thought he would’ve had like at least 300k but i was surprised! he has great vids so far though, im sure he’ll get there in no time
We live in an amazing age of the internet and technology.
holy shit when i read this i expected at least 10k but damn, bros gonna go far
Fun fact : gold do appear in your inventory as a item but only if you are interacting with a container that can store it
The spirit of MittenSquad lives on
The highest praise
I miss his videos. I wish he was still here and playing games with us
I miss him :(
@@_WiZ_Only what heppened to him?
@@wilcolbourn6146 alcoholism got the best of him. Took his life
So, just in case you didn’t know, if you hold down shift you can eat food without picking up food. But I’ll assume you just knew this and just really enjoy that gud succ as a vampire.
Granted, the vampire thing is a lot more reliable and consistent
You can also do this with spell tomes and any other consumable like potions
Damn this is pretty good, I assumed you were a much larger channel until I looked at the sub count
I think Khajiit would have been a really good choice for this. Their unarmed attacks deal only one less damage than a deadric sword so you'd have a good option for when your magic ran out, and it'd mean as a vampire, you could actually attack during the day since spells wouldn't be your only source of damage.

Also, Khsjiit can eat raw foods. So, you could technically eat raw fish and things straight from barrels.
@@GlitchedMuse that's true, I didn't point that out bc I though he couldn't eat anyway, but I forgot you could just eat straight out of containers
But it would still be using an item😅@@tyjames3339

Hearing "Become Ethereal" made me nostalgic. Become Ethanol indeed, Paul. Become Ethanol.
edit: just gonna edit this anytime i have something to say
you can put gold into a container
also lesser ward or really any ward completely negates dragons breath
you can deadass just go straight to esbern non of the thieves guild stuff is necessary
you can head straight to septims's place bypassing the college
using clear skys removes the meteor sworm efect alduin uses
the parthanax strat is honestly brilliant
for better damage stagger your usage of the flames spell to stack as many cases of the burn over time damage as possible for the same cost
while i do admit wherewolf is useful for this i would actually reccomend vamp lord
Ridiculously underrated UA-camr. What a gem the UA-cam algorithm has gifted me with today
Right! Amen!!! I am so excited to see anything else he does.
He ended the video saying: Force Balance. Which if you translate it to Star Wars. I love it!!!!! :)))))
So true. Love this
Amazing storytelling - kept my interest through the whole video even though I barely know anything about Skyrim. Great entertainment!
I’m a fan of the itsjabo type layout/commentary, makes it really engaging to watch
This was great. Fun idea, good editing, good storytelling. Thanks UA-cam rec for bringing me here, I'm excited for more.
Same here

loving this video keep up the great work! love seeing new youtubers with great videos
Crazy how argonians never get mentioned in runs like these
For this one, argonian seemed problematic due to the additional weakness to cold added to their race for survival mode. I actually have an upcoming video where I play argonian, though, and the run would have been significantly more difficult as any other race.

This was incredible mate, your genuine enjoyment really sold it…. Lmao the loading zone
High quality. keep it up. alg will pick it up soon.
@kamandtux Thanks for saying so! I'm hoping it will, but either way I'll keep working on them till one does!
The editing and general work put into this is badass dude!! Keep pushing!!

this is super dope. thanks for uploading this fun challenge. looking forward to more!
amazing video, had this on in the background while i played skyrim and your commentary was super easy to keep in tune with!
0:44 - I've never seen any of your videos before, but because you used Ape Escape music within the first minute of this video, I already think you're cool.
I hope to see a lot more of you in the future because you are honestly amazing at this.
I've just got this video recommended in my home section. Good video! Keep it up.
this was such a fun watch so glad I came across this video!

Had fun watching this. Can't wait for more like it.
What a great video with great editing for such a new channel, good stuff
What the hell is that the Yu-Gi-Oh capsule monsters colliseum soundtrack i hear
We will be following your career with great interest.
I didn't realize how much joy my life was missing until I called my librarian. She shared some truly nice stories.
I liked your video too. Okay bye.
Can't believe you never used the clear skies shout to stop freezing to death while reading the scroll or fighting Alduin.
Great video though, was a blast to watch!
This was actually really really entertaining for only ur second video! Thank you
Ok i would have also allowed 0 weight items like lockpicks. Also i wouldn't count quest companions because you aren't able to tell them to go away! Great video (:
Uhrm gold can be found in the inventory when depositing into player home chests technically 👆🤓
“That’s fantastic I wanna see that 20 more times” made me laugh I have no clue why the delivery of that lol😂
I have been waiting years to hear Dark Cloud music in the background of a youtube video and finally like a moment of clarity I hear the combat theme at like 17 minutes in! Literally been waiting so long
and the Dark Cloud 2 combat music at like 28 minutes!
last stage music too not long after!
I was searching for this comment to see how many people know this game 😄
Even at 3:50 there's a dark cloud theme too 👍
These are my second favourite ItsJabo uploads
Nice video, dude
Would like to see more cool+new challenge run ideas and ways to beat em, ur good
This was an interesting video to watch! During the Alduin fight I immediately recognized that Dark Cloud 2 fight music!
Me too! Came to the comment section to see if anyone else had 😁 such a good game.
Keeping malborn alive is pretty cool because he gives you a couple quests before he dips out to solstheim
Do you get to meet him later in the Dragonborn dlc?
Great video, I'm chuffed the YT gods decided to bless me with the recommendation. Keep it up my mate :)
Nice choice to use Spyro music. It’s what I would listen to if I were running around naked and setting all my enemies on fire.
This is incredibly polished for a small new channel
Excellent video. The quality is top.
The cherry on top was the Ape Escape Ost ;)
You don’t have to join the thieves guild to get access to the rat way. You can just go there, you don’t even have to ask anyone in the ragged flaggon you can just run through.

Love the Dark Cloud music lol, nostalgic.
I’ve found the next big one and he’s so small right now

Fun note for werewolf form, the dash attack can be easily chained into Alduin repeatedly for really good damage.
This was a great video! The fact that you have only 1.2 k subscribers is crazy!
Amazing video!! Loving your energy
My instant thought was "Just flames???" Then I realized that shouts and powers exist
Your stubbornness earned you a fantastic video. Awesomely done
Casually, some of the best editing I have seen.
12:52 Nice choice of using the Demon's Shaft from Dark Cloud, well cultured. In for all the music of Dark Cloud even at the ending.
Yeah I ain't trying this challenge, I ain't a masochist.
wow I thought this guy had a developed following with how well his video was produced. Crazy to see only 1.4k subs. Gonna make that 1,401 now baybee
This has joov energy
keep honing your craft, you're doing great
I have no idea why you would do this to yourself, but I'm glad you did.
Skyrim gameplay with Spyro music best video ever
Ive never seen Alduin grab that Stormcloak soldier in Soverngard before. That was hilarious.
Without having watched the whole video at all, bretons start with conjure familiar, which i feel would have been pretty convenient to have as a tank, especially with the reduced gealth from the cold. Whether you'd count a summon as a companion, I guess is up to you
The fact you have under 1k subs is a crime.
Use clear skies to change the weather. It’s my favorite shout tbh
This video absolutely earned my subscription
4:50 he says "Uh that's right" like he'd almost forgotten what happened, way too much mead on duty, but it was fast.
Capsule monsters theme for the intro goes hard
I was worried for a bit when you abandoned the Companions right before you go lycanthropy. But I see that you wanted to try something different/more unique instead.
I do wish that a vampire was immune to the cold so that Elder Scroll cutscene moment wasn't as torturous for your build. Great video though! I look forward to more from you!
You kinda look like someone I went to high-school with, which made smile remembering him.
1:40 in and i'm sold. already subbed
Totally fine for the rules.
Like quest mandated followers. Disallowing those means the only way to finish the main quest is extremely glitchy since it's impossible to show Delphine that you can eat dragon souls.
I love the genre of Skyrim players that love to torture themselves with these challenges
Love the gale of darkness background music
All your chapter names are so good
You don't need to join the thieves guild to rescue Esbern. You can just go to him straight away. The same is true for the College of winterhold and Septimus Signus.
good pacing too.
have you ever tried just using items? it makes the game a lot easier
Criminally underated UA-camr
Give us more vids!! Amazing storytelling dude
Just so you know, you don't have to do any Thieves' Guild quests to get into the Ratway and talk to Esbern. The Thieves' Guild don't mind if you walk through the Ragged Flagon even if you're not a part of their crew
Actually such a good video. Hyped or more
Hey just a fun fact, you can drop the ring as soon as you take it out of the lockbox and tell Brynolf you lost it
Great video bro. This one will do very well🎉
Coming away from a skyrim challenge video wanting to play Dark Chronicle again.
You don't need Brynjolf to grant access to the Ratway.
You can just reject him or ignore him entirely and go to the Ratway yourself.
@KeijoKango In anniversary edition (maybe other versions too, not sure) there is a note on the door to the ratway held by an iron dagger. You can't enter the ratway without taking one of them unless you have talked to Brynjolf. Clicking anywhere on the door will continually open the note until you take it.

100 in speech (or 70 with persoasion perk), wearing the amulet of articulation or being on the quest "Elder Knowledge" allow to get in without knowing/learning the required spell.
How do you grind speech to 70 if you can't buy or sell items?
I feel like Breton and the conjure Familiar spell would by handier that the High Elves.
