Oh lord
That's why so many gaurds are no longer adventures
He gonna end a lot of adventures
If you're having problems with dragons try a fortify marksman potion.
The ingredients are
1 Juniper berries
2 canis root
3 elves ear
4 spider egg
Any 2 mixed will work.
or just use marked shout, even one word is enough

3:29 wow, that daedra can pee much further than that elf.
*I love your vids man, please come back and make TES6 prediction videos, or concepts that you think should be in the game.
Still further then nords can though.
that pic made me laugh so hard
lol
Its been 6 years
That drawing of two compared bow trajectories was epic.
Hey, I know you!
Well let's see.... I have stolen goods so...... I'M OUT!
I don't have time for this, do you?
Ok bye..... And..... *slash* assassinated.
*Little girl assaulted, 40 bounty added to Whiterun*
*Dragon killed 1000 bounty added to- wait what can we give him a bounty for this? (whispers) "yes" Dragon killed 1000 bounty added to f**** you.
Skyrim Archery Guide:
1. Aim
2. Shoot
It's probably been said, but the Imperial Bow is upgraded with Steel, making it a Steel Bow. I don't know exactly what your definition of a "real" bow entails, but if you properly upgrade a Hunting Bow with leather strips and put a nice Greater fire enchantment (10 pts.) on it, it can get you by until about level 18 with ease. However, if you just have to have a "real" bow, there's an Elven Bow in a case in the Companions' Mead Hall under an expert lock that you can go straight to. It's in the room where you first meet Skjor after you give Aela her shield. There's also a Moonstone node by the south wall of Whiterun, almost to the broken pillar with the chest on it. It's down on the flat, closer to the road to Valtheim. It gives it a nice little boost, even at level two. I really need a hobby, or a friend, or a goldfish. Hold me.
The Imperial Bow does not benefit from the Smith Steel perk even though it uses steal for upgrades, however, Ancient Nord bows and Forsworn bows do benefit from the perk and I'm pretty sure Hunting Bows do too even if they use leather strips to upgrade.
At time he did this video though it quite possible there where no bows benefiting from the steel perk at all and there are still no bows in the game that can be crafted by the player with only the steel perk.
Wariyaka I guess the Imperial Bow just upgrades based on your overall smithing skill then, if the perk doesn't affect it, because I know I've taken them to Epic and Legendary before. I can confirm that the Hunting Bow also upgrades to multiple levels.
Young Frankenstein Yes, I don't think the smith perks raise any caps on how high you can boost the gear just the rate at witch you do it. With strong enough smithing skill, enchantment boosts and alchemy potions you can still upgrade stuff to über-legendary without the relevant perk, it just take a bit more effort from the other boost avenues. For full playthroughs on legendary difficulty I would recommend getting at least the steel and arcane smithing perks almost regardless of build though some purer mage builds can probably do just fine without them too.
lol what are you talking about, you could beat the game on level 1 at any difficulty using an iron dagger. here you are talking about getting by with a bow until about level 18...
Real shame you stopped doing this. I'm replaying this now and I still click your content before any other.
They changed the archery damage formula to include the damage from the arrows additively with the base damage from the bow before any multipliers. The exact formula is on the wikis if people are interested. But what that means is that higher damage arrows are more significant now than they were before.
Good to know - thanks!
COME BACK FOR SKYRIM REMASTERED
About time someone with intelligence records a video....well done mate
Your profile pic disagrees...
its for the haters who continue to harass us who have our own opinion...u knw mate
Vincent Chase What about the people with proper grammar?
This is the internet, we don't need to have proper grammar you angry grammar Nazi..........
Vincent Chase It's the internet, we don't need to have idiots but look at the people around us go.
PMS00 -- I just recently discovered your channel and I love your Skyrim videos. Even if they're dated (being pre-Legendary edition) they're jam-packed with really interesting information. I wish you'd come back and make more and update the out-dated ones for the Special Edition.
Archery actually kinda sucks against dragons. At least, that's been my experience. You can fight them face to face but they'll demolish you with their magic, breath and that instant kill grab they sometimes use. But if you stay back, try to stealth and keep your distance most of the time they'll just fly around and be impossible to hit. Or they'll simply fly away altogether not even giving you the chance to even fight them. There is nothing more frustrating than wasting thirty of your best arrows on a dragon only to have them take off and fly right off into the sunset.
I use iron arrows for difficult shots, just in case if i miss. Only when i'm 100% sure of my shots i use better quality arrows.
+tarrker i can see how this would be annoying but i find it easier to just use the slow time shout and fire away with the amulet of talos and the blessing of talos you can usually shout fairly often
Dylan Medly
Yeah that's what I've been doing in more recent plays. I never really even used shouts at all until I came browsing UA-cam for stuff. The slow time shout is amazing :)
Yeah like that other guy said.I only use iron arrows or generally worthless arrows and still do fine.Also I have a companion and she face tanks the dragon for me so...
Bound Bow. Infinite Arrows. Win.
Only just found these vids, great work dude.
Learned about 20 useful skyrim facts watching your vids this morning.
Awesome job
These tips are just as useful now as 11yrs ago - thank you! Many of the tips below in the comments below are also great, it was well worth reading through them.
Great video! I'm a master archer myself, with a Dark Elf character. I usually use Bound Bow. This is great to listen to nonchalantly when you're adventuring. Good job! Love it
Archery tips from a relative n00b (on XBox360):
1. If you want to cap damage to arrows, your effective range of damage is *zero* arrow bonus all the way up to Dragonbone. Zero-damage arrows (practice arrows) are available for free at Angi's, on the mountain directly above and slightly southwest of Falkreath.
2. You can recover some arrows without the 'take' command, if an enemy has hit you with them. They are automatically added to your inventory. If you can withstand a few hits, it amounts to 'catching' them. This might be effective in upgrading your damage a few points if your enemy is using superior arrows.
3. If enemies are facing you, but unaware of your presence due to sneaking, shoot the back ranks first. This will often induce enemies to turn their backs to you and increase their distance from you, increasing the duration of your effective sneaking. It may only buy you an extra second or so, but when outnumbered, that can matter.
4. The video above doesn't mention the use of poisoned weapons, especially bows. I tend to favor Ravage Health poisons for particularly healthy enemies on the first shot. It's sometimes the difference between killing and dying. I've also found uses for Slow and Paralyze poisons which don't eat up magicka or soul gem recharges on enchanted weapons.
I noted this above, but your fourth point goes well with one I use myself. I used imp stool, canis root, and deathbell to make a poison, and it created a paralysis poison that also does health damage.
poor jordis
This was a very helpful video. Thank you. I'm doing this kind of build at the moment and I've been doing a couple of things wrong which you've straightened me out on. One thing you didn't mention, quiet casting can be extremely helpful with bound bow if you like playing stealth-stylee.
Your video is so in depth it was truly helpful, and I instantly subbed
For maximum damage per second - find Zephyr. Greatest bow for offensive bowmen.
and have quickshot
I know this is old but auriels bow is actually much better cause it has zephyrs enchant as an invisible buff plus it also has the damage enchantment and special arrows and higher base damage.
@@smalltrashman4227 That is true. But Zephyr is basically just so much easier to get.
@@patricklee8789 That's true. One of my favorite ruins in the game.
just wanna say your vids are still getting love til this day :)
Here in 2021! Thanks for the time and love that you put into these! We all appreciate your hard work.
I love these guides and how much detail you put into them.
3:35
Dat painting!
lol skyrim pissing contest!
One weird thing about the bull's eye perk is that it appears to trigger when the arrow is released rather than when it hits. I have missed plenty of long shots with an archer build because my target was paralysed and fell to the ground before the arrow reached them. I don't know if this was because I was using a bound bow or if it's just the game being weird.
+Sam Otten it's happened to me too with regular bows
same here
Yeah, unfortunately the Bull's Eye perk triggers when the arrow is fired, not when it hits the target. I love the effect of the perk, but it's rather annoying missing your really long snipe shots because of how it triggers.
thats why I prefer going alchemy, not only does it give you shit tons of gold but it also gives extremely useful and powerful potions and poisons, I can make a 24 second long Paralysis poison with just canis root and Imp stool which cost less than 50 gold I believe, plus I can also make a drain health poison which my best one dioes 25 hp dmg per second for 10 seconds. alchmey can be super crazy and super useful, my only ussie with the Paralysis Poison is that it doesnt work on draugr, not like the Bulls Eye perk at least.
EDIT: just corrections
Sam Otten t
Great video, I have a billion hours in on skyrim and have come up with great classes that work for me, but your video just took my archer from great to legendary. Having a vid to explain perks and give personal opinion of them helps extremely! Thanks
Nice video. I am currently replaying Skyrim and use now the bow as main weapon. The bow is somewhat under powered in the beginning. The 3.0 sneak multiplier is the most useful perk for me. It makes clearing out caves an enjoying business since it is vital to avoid detection.
I wish Headshots would be a 100% Critical Hit so you actually wanna aim for the head its hard but if you can manage it you do x2 the damage instead of shot 2 shots at the chest
haven't you heard from him what critical strikes actually do in skyrim? they just increase 2x the BASE damage of the weapon that u crit with, f.ex. when u crit with weapon that has 12 dmg base but its legendary ubgraded to 100, you will only deal 2x the dmg of base value so 12 dmg x 2, and this 100 was the damage from legendary ubgrade + the base value, that means while u crit strike with that weapon you will only deal 112 dmg instead of 100
it should be noted that ranger affects your speed when reloading crossbows.
This was a really informative and well-organized video. Thanks for the help!
@pms00 keep making skyrim guides, they have helped me do a lot better in the game. U seem to have a never ending guide to quests and different things in skyrim. Keep up the good work!!! (:
3:30 nailed that paint
Best way to get a super powerful bow to use against dragons or whatever.
Enchant a helmet, gloves, ring and necklace with fortfiy archery.
Use fortify smithing gear for making all your armor and weapons.
Use a fortify smithing for making and upgrading bows.
Enchant the bow with extra damage
Drink a fortify marksman potion just before combat.
Poison the bow with a potion.
Yeah but that makes the game boring
Great video. Straight to the point(s); providing a lot of useful information without any fluff. 👍
Thank you man! I've been wanting to be a pro archer in Skyrim but never knew any good perks and ways to shoot your bow. Thanks man!
pms00! COME BACK!! :(
I hope this guy is doing okay, stil schooling me on skyrim almost a decade later.
Really good video, nice to know diff between heavy and light bows.
Thanks man, I know you put alot of time into this and you did great, earned a subscription
Another use for the Ranger perk is that when you're carrying too much weight you can pull back your arrow to move at normal speed again to get to the next town and sell your stuff.
Why hadn't I thought this one out?!
Very nice guide. Only thing I disagree with is using glitches to fortify. I like to play straight forward
Phenomenal videos; your work really pays off educated a lot of us, don't stop making these videos your a true inspiration!
i just loved your drawing to demonstrate the diference between a deadric bow and an elven one
Just started playing skyrim the other day , I've got so much to Learn . But that's ok i want a real challenge , thanks for the tips .
Dave Airley8889 yes you do my friend
Dave Airley8889 hey I have a beginners tip for you
Be mindful these videos are useful but a little out of date. PMS00 is recording with the pre-Legendary version of Skyrim, so his videos are from the perspective of someone who wants to maximize their perks allotment since they were more precious before you can re-spec a skill and re-assign your perks.
Still his videos are great and you can learn quite a bit from them!
me too! It's awesome how you get better and learn more over the time. Also I started diving into the medieval flair after a while
this game isn't hard. at all. and i'm not being elitist, that's one of the main reasons why so many people like it.
Thanks didnt know if my arrows were diping when i shot them.
You have won over a new subscriber, your videos are amazing!
notice there's a dulled star next to ranger - at first it might look like just part of the background but it's actually for a cut perk called trick shot which gives a chance to disarm enemies with your shots
Gotta increase my characters archery skills...
im always a archer mostly cuz my fav race is a wood elf sadly there are bearly any wood elf lovers out there ):
I feel you, I'm a wood elf aswell haha
Imperial :O!!!
Wood elf
***** Redguard imperial archer/paladin. Would you consider an ebony bow heavy.
***** Ikr i give my best bow to Kharjo and he just pwns dragons. It so funny.
Man, what research. Thanks for sharing, this game has so much more than I have used ,or knew how to do. :)
thanks, im doing an archer build at the mo and been having some difficulties. This vid has been so helpful compared to the rest out there!! :) :) :)
if You go up the block skill tree to five times damage you can kill with a bow via bash with ease.
+Eric Draven yes.
+Eric Draven also with all bows if you have an arrow knocked you can quickly unknock it the press power bash and it will do damage instead plus no stamina lost.
+Eric Draven fastest with the crossbow. doesn't involve bash skill tree.
So I'm going to be playing the shit out of skyrim remastered and I will be playing the entire game to perfection and plan on going with the light armor. sneak, archery orc build. (the orc is just due to berserk for 15x sneak damage when stacked) is this a good choice?
Oops failed to mention taste difficulty
Yea its fine if your going for a pure archer.Do note on difficulties like Legendary(which should always be your goal as game is too easy) Archery is slightly impractical and is the 2nd worst offensive skill to rely on next to Destruction magic being the worst, and if your using a stealth build getting a follower is also impractical because they pretty much take away your stealth even if they are stealth based themselves, but without a follower unless your very skilled and experienced you will struggle horribly because your arrows will just tickle your enemies and they will kill you in one hit, so if you wanna focus on stealth remember always assault on the night, just keep clearing drougr places or even Falmer if you can manage, turn into a vampire for added stealth as you can always remove it, finally get good gear, I have played full runs of Archery only on Legendary and it can be loads of fun if you know how to use it but compared to other routes it is one of the worst.Best ones are Breton Battlemages that use a mixture of conjuration, followers, sword and shield and duel wielding Orcs that use tanky followers and/or stealth.
MISTAKEWASMADE4live legendary difficulty easy with destruction magic. Just get a ton of fortify destruction and you do insane damage casting fireball over and over or ice storm
Phooka Pica That's pretty end game stuff, I don't like boosting trade skills until the very end of the game its too easy otherwise
100% cost reduction + Impact makes the game boringly easy with Destruction.
It's not at all limited to end game; it's very easy to grind craft skills at relatively low level. The fact that crafting was so ridiculously overpowered was a massive design flaw: it trivialised the game if you used those skills (even just within the normal limits, without abusing feedback loops), but they were so useful that avoiding them was not much fun.
insane detail. very well prepared! good job on the video.
Im getting skyrim tomorrow and I heard Archery was a fun way to play so I checked around and found this very informative video, thank you. c:
Very well done, professional and informative! Thanks for a great video!
Okay that's it! Been watching too much pms00's videos. And I've been enjoying and learning so much so far. Gonna subscribed now ^_^
Wonderful guide. I'll admit I was thinking this was going to be dumb but I did not know that the archs for each bow was different. I intend to look at your other guides keep up the good work.
i came here to figure out how to aim better(i would always aim above my target instead of at them thinking more of arrow drop) but i learned more than i thought i wouldd... GOOD JOB
Ranger also makes you move a tiny bit faster when aiming while over-encumbered.
Super helpful stuff. Excellent guide.
Another great vid, my personal favorites are Ranger and Powershot, you can none stop stunning your target. Bulleye is good but I rather rely on Powershot to stun lock the target.
This was an incredibly helpful video. I plan on finally buying this game for PC (PS3 copy is engraging me), and my first character will be majoring in archery, so this was an awesome guide to watch!
I explained the arrow damage. Hidden bonus does help, sure, but that fits more into sneaking. For what has the most impact in archery mechanics, it's the drawback time.
The did help me improve archery ngl. Needed these small tips to adjust my shooting.
Best guide I've seen so far
When opponent gets close to you, you can use the shout become ethereal to charge your bow up. Pulling the string of your bow doesn't count as attack so it won't disable the shout. Utilitize this against dragons when they try to use fire or frost breath on you.
If you have lots of room to maneuver around your enemy but they caught you, use the shout fus ro dah or whirlwind sprint to get away from them. Typically useful against many opponents at once.
Hope this helps even after 8 years of skyrim release tho.
You have did a great job with this. As a archer you have hit the money. Hope u put more on.
up to you. i screwed up my first build too, but it was still fun to get through the game with.
Just to note, after Patch 1.5, when kill cams were introduced to magical attacks and bow attacks, there is a glitch in the archery kill cam when Bullseye is enabled. When the shot would kill in one hit, the target is paralyzed before the arrow impacts, paralyzing the target and effectively enabling the target to dodge the arrow.
Great vid a usual. I use an archery build, so this helped me out a lot. thanks again.
Great video. Helped me a lot. Once again great video!
Something that also helps early people trying to get levels is enchanting your bow with fire damage, and making weakness to fire poisons, or whatever element you fancy, but fire will do the most damage. On top of the smithing to make the bow, you also get the experience from enchanting and alchemy, and it's a good boost to damage for until you have the perks/skills to use bows more effectively. Juniper berries have the weakness to fire ingredient thing, as do bleeding crowns, which are both easy to find and pretty cheap if you can't. Ice wraith teeth as well, if you find any.
On that alchemy note, it's actually a really good way to earn money fast, especially with the merchant perk. You can take two ingredients that are less than 10 septims each to buy, add another that's still under 20, and you can sell that potion for a huge recovery. I tend to make ones that sell for between 150 and 400 apiece, with some being able to be up to 500 or more, all with ingredients that were less than 40 each to buy, if I used three "expensive" ones, which is rare. Plus there are tons of stuff you can just find.
I really enjoy your guides man you clearly put a lot of time into them. I was wondering what you think is the most challenging build to use on master, aside from something impossible like an unarmed build.
This is a good guide my man!
You can find an elven bow at any level in the companions basement area. There is also an archery skill book, and they're both locked by an (I believe) expert level lock in a display case.
Best archery guide on the internet!!!
GREAT VID! Thx 4 all the info, subed, faved, shared and liked. Keep it up
Great guide really informative.
wish you would make a crossbow guide. Love your videos
Wow that was the most helpful vid ive ever seen on this subject. Only thin you left out is if your moveing to the side when you shoot your arrows fly a little in that direction sso release the shot aiming just next to the target and it will fly over and hit...if that makes sence in text
now isnt this real guide or not...nice work man!
This has probably already been mentioned below- but there is a copy of the bound Bow spell tome hidden in Fort Amol Prison. It is hidden in a basket. the only problem is that it costs so much to cast in the early game you will need some enchanted magika items to use it.
Any chance you could do videos on the two new skyrim DLCs, you know, go over the details and potential uses of the new content ? Your skyrim videos are , by far, the most detailed and helpful on youtube, it is a shame you stopped.
I can imagine it takes time to do such a methodical analysis, even more to present it in a concisse way, but please consider it.
Great guide. Thanks
Are you gonna do a video like this for all variables affecting sneaking/detection (lighting, sound, line of sight etc)?
Cuz that'd be awesome.
You're awesome.
thanks a lot man! this is exactly what I was looking for! :D
Estremely well done video. You are well skilled.
Best archery guide ever
Where can I find something that tells me what the actual velocity of the arrows are according to bow weight and what the force of gravity is in skyrim and if they made it more or less for archery?
Wow, I had no idea archery in Skyrim went into this amount of depth with the weight and trajectory.
Personally I always went with the bow that just did more damage... may have to start re-thinking my strategy :D
Come back! I love these videos!
Thank you so much! I know I'm late to the party but I bought skyrim yesterday!
@MGOTXtreme - absolutely. when it ever comes out. they are taking their sweet time.
the archery one is just my personal preferences. the tradeskills one is for how to achieve max stats on smithed armor rating and enchantments
Thanks for the guide!
Dude, this video is amazing. I'm really glad I found your guides. Do you know if any of this information has changed in the patches released since this video was made?
nice video dude helped alot !
If you wann get an Elven bow relatively early in the game go to the Companion's building in Whiterun (or fast-travel to Dragonsreach and look for the dome shaped building on the left) go to the basement and find a display case in the huntress's room. It's lock is Expert so I would suggest bringing alot of picks along.
