We can all agree that the crimson nirnroot quest is by far the best. The only thing that comes close to it is finding all of the unmarked unusual gems hidden all across skyrim.
I liked that one too , for the connection to Oblivion with Sinderian , I liked him in that game would have been cool to find him alive in Skyrim but wth everybody's gotta die...
I absolutely loved the quest where man asks you to save his wife from bandits only to find out that his wife ran away and became the leader of those bandits which ends up with her giving you a ring that you return to her husband.
@@TheRibbedDamascus yeah, in the final room if you run all the way through, you can find one on the ground. It happened on sse for ps4, so it might still work
"And you'll get to listen to Melka's hilarious hagraven commentary" When I first did this quest all I heard was her terrible, long, excruciating, irritating breathing
I would enjoy blood on the ice... If only it wasn't the buggiest quest in the game. I could never get the quest to work. The guard never spawned, and i could never complete it.
Yeah whenever I finish that it gives me double alerts for it apparently there was supposed to be another quest by the same name. Not a huge problem but those quest names just sit there on screen for a good 10 seconds
I have to say my favorite quest in the Elder Scrolls series is the one where you basically play the villain in a slasher flick. it's a Dark Brotherhood quest in Oblivion, where you're sent to a house with like 4-5 strangers to murder them to death(Dark Brotherhood, what do you expect?), with an added bonus for doing so without being detected. I remember when I played it, I managed to convince one of the two remaining characters that the other remaining character was the killer, and they took them out. It's rather appropriately called "Whodunit?"
God I love that quest. I would have loved a "sequel" to it in Skyrim. Or little moments like where you can pick up that dead mothers head and one of the dark brotherhood mentions it before its revealed he's the bad guy. For some reason I just love little details like that with games.
Yea this one is absolutely one of the bests. Like someone said, too bad there is no sequel to it in Skyrim but if some people don't know, you can kill the cousin's emperor at her weeding in solitude (dark brotherood quest) by pushing some kind of statue / stone ornament on her head. Gives a nice Oblivion vibe, always reminds me of that other dark brotherhood quest where you gotta kill a guy in Bruma and make it look like an accident by dropping a stag head trophy on him. :)
Khajiit Be on guard Khajiit you should make for your homeland with haste never know when a dragon will want roasted cat for lunch if you choose to stay may the moons watch over you
@@GrimReaper-kk8py Exactly. They're not officially recognised as side quests in the games script. Hence why there's none included in this video. They're more considered a quest category just like the dark brotherhood and companions just not in a quest chain. The guy with a strange obsession of gay porn doesn't seem to realise this though. Oh well 🤷♂️.
I accidentally stumbled across the hagravens quest once in werewolf form. I was just leveling up werewolf and I find a hagraven in a cage. It let me speak to it and do the whole quest as a werewolf. 10/10 would do again
@@ianharrison5758 it was a coven of hagraven witches that gave the companions the werewolf curse in the first place so it might be the other way around lol
@vineousvondrake2456 Hagravens and the Forsworn in general seem to have a connection with Hircine. The werewolves are because of Hircine. They are within his domain, and he is their creator. Hagravens have some animalistic qualities and were probably born from normal witches. Hagravens and werewolves may as well be cousins of a sort
Also it makes dwemer armor much better when worn. Edit: I remember that my dragon armor was just a few points better than the dwemer armor with the forbidden knowledge perk.
I messed something up on the hagraven one. I talked to the first one but didn’t free her initially, and proceeded to clear the cave and killed Petra. When I went back and freed her, she sort of rushed through the caves, saying some lines and sort of pausing to observe the dead enemies, only to arrive in the area with the dead Petra and be left standing there. Each time I return, Petra is lying dead with an arrow on her saying to kill her so I guess this mission ended up being a scrap 😂😢
Yea blood and ice is buggy you have to complete it before the civil war quest and the dark brotherhood quest otherwise key characters for this quest die and can't be interviewed
Btw The clear skies is one of my most FAVOURITE shout since it’s first letter has 5sec cool down and staggers your enemy’s so you can constantly stagger them while getting jabs
The reason why Blood on the Ice gets bugged is that Tova Shatter-Shield is tied to the quest. So if you kill her (or Nilsine, since she'll kill herself if you do that), it becomes impossible to complete. Also, the "right" way to complete the quest is to go straight to Wunferth the Unliving. Then he won't get arrested incorrectly.
Nah, going to the steward makes the quest so much better, because you are led to believe that the quest is over, only to later discover that it is not and that you arrested the wrong guy. Sadly, I missed this part on my first playthrough, because by the time I did this quest I was a level 80 mage with all the top spells and enchanted gear, and I was already arch mage and had killed Harkon, Alduin and Miraak, so I figured I didn't have to be afraid of some court wizard, necromancer or not. So the quest was rather underwhelming for me without the plot twist.
I always pick up a Staff of Paralysis. And equip it after talking to Wuunferth. Also when I enter Markarth. On an unrelated note, Thalmor agents like Gissur and those two Khajit in Riften and outside Windhelm tend to die to an invisible arrow.
One of my favorite moments is at the end of forgotten legends when Gauldur reforges his amulet and banishes his bastards in the most badass way possible
"Blood On The Ice" was great. I just wish you could report the killer to the guards or the stewart and get him arrested, since his home is full of so many clues and even a letter in which he admits everything.
I personally enjoy the quest where you go up a really tall mountain and kill a big black dragon.... Alduin was his name I think? Best side quest for sure. But it doesn't hold a candle to the main quest... the thieves guild of course!
@@babygurleatsshickennuggits4201 A powerful artifact but the downside is you won't increase your conjugation, if you only use the sanguine rose. But it is really powerful for sure.
@@justinchristy9047 it doesn't bother me since I only use it currently for a flame thing when I see that a frost troll is near. I prefer to either sneak away or run because they don't drop anything I like. If the cheat tgm didn't exist there's absolutely no way I would've been able to get that artifact. Since I can actually cast the artifact from far away it alerts me of where everything I need to fight with is, as well as if it uses any shouts. I prefer to get enemies over with from afar, but so far away they don't even know where I am.
Blood On the Ice, the best example of an actual RPG quest with real decisions and consequences in the game...of course it had to be plagued by some of the most gamebreaking bugs in the game as well. It just works.
The Lexicon quest, the “haunted house” in Markarth, the little girl who died and was a ghost and the vampires that were involved, blood on the ice, are some of my favorites
Is that the one with the Charus? I just stumbled across that one the other day on my way to something else. Said “just a lighthouse and I’ll do a quick run through” only to find this hyper involved story with an even larger area I was like “what rabbit hole have I dragged myself into?” I got so many eggs from that one….like, in the 200s I think.
@@JohnnyFromVirginialove that, you're like, this is just a little tower, can't be too hard. Then the interior loads and there's five branching pathways. I've realized this sounds sarcastic, but it's genuinely one of my favorite bits in Skyrim (and equally fallout) just the most unassuming buildings having the most interesting quests/stories involved, and if not that, just some sick ass architecture to look at.
In my most recent play through I joined the forsworn, got the god armour then killed the leader. Turns out you get both rewards and the silver bloods that greet you get murdered too.
That quest frequently pisses me off because for some reason when I escape the blacksmith (both of them) join the fight, get killed and I can no longer trade there anymore. Happened the last 3 playthroughs
I knew about Illia for years. I memorized her location on the map and get her as a companion every time I make a warrior type character as a mage backup. she's mad OP
I think The Man Who Cried Wolf and The Wolf Queen Awakened are probably the some of the best quests in the game. The events of the quests have world-shaking possibilities and it centers around one of the most legendary villains in the history of Tamriel. It's bizarre that it's just a sidequest.
I know it's been 5 years but anyways I did the quest once a while ago and really didn't take much notice. But on a subsecquent playthrough I found and read the bio of Potema and it was so cool and then did the quest and really enjoyed it so much. I think you are a right. Plus the ancient vampire that spawns there in the catacombs is a great dead thrall.
I didn't know about Rise in the East until seeing this video and after looking in Windhelm for 30 minutes I finally found the EITC at the docks and WOW THAT QUEST WAS AWESOME!
The beginning to "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood" when you can kill Astrid, is my favorite. Not sure if it counts as a side quest, but I still love hearing her gasp "well done" when she dies.
Delayed burial is definitely a fun one. Technically, it isn't directly affiliated with any faction quests, but it is fun to see Cicero's reactions to it once you meet with him in the Dark Brotherhood.
I had never actually joined the Dark Brotherhood before seeing people talk about having Cicero as a companion. I only knew him as the guy that a farmer seemed to hate for no apparent reason
I haven’t done loads of side-quests as I’m new to the game, but I really love getting the ring of Hircine with that werewolf dude. It’s especially fun if you are already a werewolf as you can go on a killing spree together, and then get unlimited transformations!
Did you know if you go to the old dark brotherhood sanctuary, you can bring Astrid back to life using dead thrall! Plus, every time you kill her she says thank you!
Another great video Nate! I love this series! As a fun side note, when entering Japhet's Folly Towers for the East Empire Company quest, if you go to the very bottom of the tower, through a locked door you will find a very deceased Japhet, along with his journal telling you how Japhet's Folly came to be, and a treasure chest with some nifty loot in it :)
8:25 The perfect Steward for your house! :v I love the Fort Frostmoth quest, just for the implication that Neloth and his rogue apprentice put a Heart (of Lorkhan) Stone into an Imperial commander, driving the man xenophobically berserk. _They made another Pelinal Whitestrake. In a mushroom. With a pile of scraps!_ Red gem in the chest, half-mad revenant, living in a dreamworld of war. All that's missing is the robotic arm with the man's titular white laser beam.
One of my favorite missions in Skyrim was "A Night To Remember." Just the traipsing around Skyrim trying to figure what in Oblivion you got up to one drunken night. It's also one of the few Daedric Item quests I actually enjoy.
Top 5 sidequests... *looks at main story line, unfinished* "Yeah, I should do these side quests. That sounds more interesting. Screw the main story line. No one really finishes it"
I don't know if the Civil war is considered to be a main quest, but during the invasion of windhelm it bugged.. which meant that for the rest of the game it burned.
I have nearly 1000 hours in the game and haven’t gotten past talking to Paarthy the first time. The side stuff is so much more fun. Plus the VA is atrocious.
I discovered the East Empire Company one on my first playthrough and then couldn't find it for literally years. I had begun to think I'd dreamed about it (not entirely unlikely for me) but nope, it's really there. Something to note about Blood on the Ice - you can tell Wuunferth about the amulet and journals after speaking to Calixto and spare one more life, you won't have to wait for a second person to die - he'll figure it out without you having to go to jail.
I stumbled across that rise in the east quest one time on XBox360 and never knew how to do it again, for the longest time I was convinced that I had imagined it, I'm so glad I found this video to assure me that I'm not just crazy!
I like alot of the quests but I think my favorite has to be Lost to the Ages, Blackreach and the crimson nirnroot, and after the DLC I enjoyed the Snow Elves area to get Auriel's Bow, I just like to go there and explore honestly.
Lost to the Ages, exploration, mystery and three possible rewards that give this quest a lot of replay value. My favorite is the Aetherial Crown, allowing to have the power of two Standing Stones, making very interesting combinations.
Illia is actually someone i go out of my way to recruit, I like to use her as a steward at my steading. The sensation of actually helping someone turn their life around feels remarkably good.
The entire dark brotherhood quest line has to be my favorite ^v^

i really love those equipment items you get that boost your Thief skills. it makes Pickpocket MUCH easier to level. -to be honest, i only level Pickpocket to get the "extra pockets" perk. +100 max carry weight! VERY helpful.
I've been watching these videos for a while because I love them, I love Skyrim and I've been waiting for a quest that I may have missed (I dedicated a big portion of my life to Skyrim for a hot minute lol). With this video, I finally found it (the East Imperial Trading company one). Thank you!
my fav quest is the one where you get drunk asf and do a lotta dumb shit jus to end u meeting a daedric lord and he gives you the sanguine rose which is overpowered asf early game
I actually don't think the stones of barenziah was a bad quest. For one you can get the stones really quickly by interacting with one several times quickly, thus getting 2 or 3 stones from one location. And the part where you get the crown is actually fun imo because you go through the ruin finding out what happened to caravan and seeing the ghost. Its a fun little mystery in its own right
And even if glitching isn't the thing of the player, then all the locations are listed online, so it's just about writing it down and then go on a hunt for them.
i'm guessing she disappears if you don't use her as a follower before leaving. i've used her as a follower, then sent her on her way, and months later went back to the tower and got her to follow me again.
Man! I've logged hundreds hours of play on multiple characters and different types of play and I've never even heard of the first 3 quests. Done the last two multiple times, but I still can't figure how I've missed those 3 quests. Baffled, yet thankful for this video!
OH MY GOD NATE!!!!!! I have played this game over 4000 hours this game... and still playing!!!! Thought I done it all every way every quest of every way every character o every thing!!!! I heard all of your 10 tiny details and almost none has baffled me..... BUT B U T I have just realized I never played Rise in The East!!!!!!!!!! I am shaking to go back home and do so. What else have I missed? How this is possible? I am going truly mad.
Never done the 2nd or 4th quests, and the hagraven one at the start of this video is one of my favorites. My all time fabe is the one where you get drunk with Sam.
I just gotta say thank you epic Nate . You’re content is entertaining to me but your voice some reason puts me to sleep dawg especially the nights where I can’t sleep, I put on a video of yours n bam! I’m sleep. So thank you honestly
OMG!!! I played the quest in dark light tower one of the first few times I played Skyrim and loved it and could never find it again. I thought I dreamt it. I was so mad that she wouldn’t follow me cuz I already had a follower and just walked away... I could never find her again after that. This has been one of my greatest mysteries for 8 years now!!!! Thank you
I don't think it's even a quest but there's a lighthouse on the northern coast line that has a mystery, I think some people went missing. you end up finding a chorus tunnel system under the lighthouse and the remains of the missing person. If you were reading all the notes you may get the hint that he wanted his remains to be cremated at the lighthouse, if you take them there you are awarded with a permanent restoration bonus listed under "magic: current effects". What I found so great about this is the fact the game never tells you to cremate the remains, it's something hidden there for the lore aficionados and role players.
Hey Nate! Huuuuuuge fan, just wondering have you ever played Skyrim? It's such a great game! Hope you notice me in all these crazy comments! Keep up the great work! #murderedtodeath
Ali watches skyrim video uploaded by a youtuber who has obviously played it alot as he knows lots of information proceeds to ask “have you played skyrim” what is the point in that question
Some of my favorite quests in Skyrim: (Not in any orders) 1. The Cursed Tribe I didn't know about this quest at all when I started it. I didn't know it was the Volendrung quest as I never saw that hammer before. But I had an absolute blast with this quest. I let Yamarz try to deal with the giant, and when he got 1 shot, I laughed my ass off. The location was also very unique and interesting. Very fun quest to do. 2. The Unquiet Dead This was a very unique quest. And absolutely horrendously tragic one to boot. I won't spoil it too much as it's probably somewhat new(?), but I really enjoyed this murder mystery. And you get one amazing reward afterwards. 3. The Break of Dawn Yes, I actually like this quest. It's very unique in all aspects. The enemies, the beacons, Dawnbreaker of course one of the best looking weapons in the game, you flying super high in the air, strong 2-phased boss, great money loot, everything. You can't even start the quest whenever you want, you have to find the beacon first and it can be almost anywhere. The only annoying thing about this quest is the hissing light. And super loud Meridia 😅 4. The Blessings of Nature One of the rare quests that actually has a noticable consequences after the quest. Having the Gildergreen bloom and pilgrims coming to look at it, this quest feels very unique and rewarding. 5. The Ebony Warrior Skyrim wouldn't be Skyrim without this quest. To even get it, you must be level 80. Which is an achievement all on its own. Then this badass guy comes to you with his request. It's just so absurd, weird, and epic that it deserves a spot on my favorite quests.
I find it humorous that you've never invaded Japhet's Folly until more recently; but also that Blood on Thin Ice ... My biggest issue with that quest has always been dealing with the Amulet & getting it named properly (And able to be removed from your inventory) if you don't do the quest *In one particular way* that is totally *NOT* immediately obvious. Highly recommend creating various save files if you don't know what you're doing with it.

do it at level one pussy
y0gurtbear chill
Gg
He got game ended
All hail a guy that is Rich enough to get the new Gucci wooden sword
I personally enjoy the quest where you go up a really tall mountain and kill a big black dragon.... Alduin was his name I think? Best side quest for sure. But it doesn't hold a candle to the main quest... the thieves guild of course!
You’re not funny bro
@@connorshatz3183 no it is funny
@@JustASkyrimHorse so you’re telling me you read that and giggled
@@connorshatz3183 I didn't laugh but I got the joke and thought it was a bit funny and just didn't wanna rain on a parade
@@JustASkyrimHorse yeah I just figured since he said it two years ago no one would probably notice
A Night to Remember, the one where you get drunk and get Sanguine Rose staff!
It wasn't a side quest, it was a daedric quest.
You can easily tell by the reward which is a daedra artifact.
@@justinchristy9047 my favorite artifact in the whole game. I use it really often
@@babygurleatsshickennuggits4201 A powerful artifact but the downside is you won't increase your conjugation, if you only use the sanguine rose. But it is really powerful for sure.
@@justinchristy9047 it doesn't bother me since I only use it currently for a flame thing when I see that a frost troll is near. I prefer to either sneak away or run because they don't drop anything I like. If the cheat tgm didn't exist there's absolutely no way I would've been able to get that artifact. Since I can actually cast the artifact from far away it alerts me of where everything I need to fight with is, as well as if it uses any shouts. I prefer to get enemies over with from afar, but so far away they don't even know where I am.
I'm early so I'll make a joke
*Nate not saying murdered to death in a video*
Don't even joke like that
That's not funny that's horrifying
No he says it at 6:43
That's almost as bad as "People die when they are killed." :P
reminds me of a VERY old "Popeye" comic strip i saw in a book, where someone said Wimpy "should be killed to death"!
Blood On the Ice, the best example of an actual RPG quest with real decisions and consequences in the game...of course it had to be plagued by some of the most gamebreaking bugs in the game as well. It just works.
*Next up:* Top 10 Rock Formations in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim
Ooooh have you seen the one next to Lakeview Manor?
The Lover stone. I laughed when I realized what it was.
We need this Nate
The Lexicon quest, the “haunted house” in Markarth, the little girl who died and was a ghost and the vampires that were involved, blood on the ice, are some of my favorites
Most memorable for me is the side quest at Frostflow Lighthouse. I liked the story behind it.
Is that the one with the Charus?
I just stumbled across that one the other day on my way to something else. Said “just a lighthouse and I’ll do a quick run through” only to find this hyper involved story with an even larger area I was like “what rabbit hole have I dragged myself into?” I got so many eggs from that one….like, in the 200s I think.
@@JohnnyFromVirginialove that, you're like, this is just a little tower, can't be too hard. Then the interior loads and there's five branching pathways. I've realized this sounds sarcastic, but it's genuinely one of my favorite bits in Skyrim (and equally fallout) just the most unassuming buildings having the most interesting quests/stories involved, and if not that, just some sick ass architecture to look at.
What about the fornsworn conspiracy?
That was a great one. That alongside the house with the Vigilant of Stendarr are the only things that make Markarth bearable
One of my favorite quests.
In my most recent play through I joined the forsworn, got the god armour then killed the leader. Turns out you get both rewards and the silver bloods that greet you get murdered too.
Soviet Bush Your a conspiracy!......Yeah,....I won that exchange.
That quest frequently pisses me off because for some reason when I escape the blacksmith (both of them) join the fight, get killed and I can no longer trade there anymore. Happened the last 3 playthroughs
As weird as it might sound, I actually accidentally stumbled across *"Rise in the East"*
Me too!
me too, as I was trying to rob the EEC
Me too lol
This is the first I've heard of it and I've got the platinum trophy for it and played off and on since release.
Me as well. Like Bem said, i was just robbing the EEC.
2 months from now
Nate:
5 stones you need to see in Skyrim
"Thankfully the Butcher tries to kill someone in broad daylight."
*Kills at night*
The Abandoned house in Markarth is an interesting quest as well, since you can acquire a really powerful mace, The mace of Malog Bal.
since it's bugged you can train enchanting on it by just continually recharging it even though it already has full charge lol
I knew about Illia for years. I memorized her location on the map and get her as a companion every time I make a warrior type character as a mage backup. she's mad OP
You need j zhargo hé is the best mage follower
@@andyvanmuilekom7390 he uses only shitty sparks
I got a bug and can only use her once.
@@TivrocSaig she tends to walk Skyrim if she leaves your service so I use mods to keep her from running all over the country
I think The Man Who Cried Wolf and The Wolf Queen Awakened are probably the some of the best quests in the game. The events of the quests have world-shaking possibilities and it centers around one of the most legendary villains in the history of Tamriel. It's bizarre that it's just a sidequest.
I know it's been 5 years but anyways I did the quest once a while ago and really didn't take much notice. But on a subsecquent playthrough I found and read the bio of Potema and it was so cool and then did the quest and really enjoyed it so much. I think you are a right. Plus the ancient vampire that spawns there in the catacombs is a great dead thrall.
I didn't know about Rise in the East until seeing this video and after looking in Windhelm for 30 minutes I finally found the EITC at the docks and WOW THAT QUEST WAS AWESOME!
The beginning to "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood" when you can kill Astrid, is my favorite. Not sure if it counts as a side quest, but I still love hearing her gasp "well done" when she dies.
She DID say someone in the room had to die...
Murdered to death is not getting old is it?
Murdered to aliven't
suffice to say
I hope not! :(

@@willrankin2476
Yes, yes, I get it, I'm here for Two Dawnbreakers and 3k gold from corpses, no shut up.
"No Stone Unturned" and "A Return To Your Roots" are the best side-quests tbh.
No they suck
They make my soul die
I just learned I have the wrong man in jail with the last one...
me too
My favorite mission is the one with the atherial shards. The name of the quest eludes me, but that is without a doubt the best side quest in the game.
Ray Zaffarese........the reward is the business as well
Lost to the ages is the name of the quest and absolutely agree
Delayed burial is definitely a fun one. Technically, it isn't directly affiliated with any faction quests, but it is fun to see Cicero's reactions to it once you meet with him in the Dark Brotherhood.
I had never actually joined the Dark Brotherhood before seeing people talk about having Cicero as a companion. I only knew him as the guy that a farmer seemed to hate for no apparent reason
I haven’t done loads of side-quests as I’m new to the game, but I really love getting the ring of Hircine with that werewolf dude. It’s especially fun if you are already a werewolf as you can go on a killing spree together, and then get unlimited transformations!
You should do the aethirum shard quest. That's my favorite. I like the fact that you have a ghost follower and that your diveing through dwemer ruins
If you do this, I recommend getting the follower Remiel as a mod
Did you know if you go to the old dark brotherhood sanctuary, you can bring Astrid back to life using dead thrall! Plus, every time you kill her she says thank you!
Never knew that! Thanx!
"major civil war"-- 20 dudes slapping another 20 dudes with paddle shaped swords 😉
I have never done the quest with Illia until recently and now she's my favorite follower
Another great video Nate! I love this series! As a fun side note, when entering Japhet's Folly Towers for the East Empire Company quest, if you go to the very bottom of the tower, through a locked door you will find a very deceased Japhet, along with his journal telling you how Japhet's Folly came to be, and a treasure chest with some nifty loot in it :)
8:25 The perfect Steward for your house! :v
I love the Fort Frostmoth quest, just for the implication that Neloth and his rogue apprentice put a Heart (of Lorkhan) Stone into an Imperial commander, driving the man xenophobically berserk. _They made another Pelinal Whitestrake. In a mushroom. With a pile of scraps!_
Red gem in the chest, half-mad revenant, living in a dreamworld of war. All that's missing is the robotic arm with the man's titular white laser beam.
One of my favorite missions in Skyrim was "A Night To Remember." Just the traipsing around Skyrim trying to figure what in Oblivion you got up to one drunken night.
It's also one of the few Daedric Item quests I actually enjoy.
Top 5 sidequests...
*looks at main story line, unfinished*
"Yeah, I should do these side quests. That sounds more interesting. Screw the main story line. No one really finishes it"
I don't know if the Civil war is considered to be a main quest, but during the invasion of windhelm it bugged.. which meant that for the rest of the game it burned.
I have nearly 1000 hours in the game and haven’t gotten past talking to Paarthy the first time. The side stuff is so much more fun. Plus the VA is atrocious.
Honestly I just do it for the shout call of valor
Of you do a part 2 you should definitely mention Lost to the Ages. One of my all time favorite Elder Scrolls quests. Ghost waifu for life!
I discovered the East Empire Company one on my first playthrough and then couldn't find it for literally years. I had begun to think I'd dreamed about it (not entirely unlikely for me) but nope, it's really there.
Something to note about Blood on the Ice - you can tell Wuunferth about the amulet and journals after speaking to Calixto and spare one more life, you won't have to wait for a second person to die - he'll figure it out without you having to go to jail.
9:35 the most chill sacrifice. Looks like he's getting a haircut lmao
I been playing Skyrim for years and never stumbled apon your 2nd side mission mentioned. This game can still give you something new.
"I've brought this pitiful worm to sacrifice upon our alter, we shall make quick work of him"
*camera pans over to full enchanted dragon bone warrior

I like that one quest in where you had to try to escape Helgen quite early in the game.
I wonder if anyone else made it out alive.
I commented to bring you back to Skyrim, you cannot escape.
@@Spells_Val Haha. But Sims 4 and Pokémon helped me escape.
I like alot of the quests but I think my favorite has to be Lost to the Ages, Blackreach and the crimson nirnroot, and after the DLC I enjoyed the Snow Elves area to get Auriel's Bow, I just like to go there and explore honestly.
Putting Potema to her well earned rest was my favourite!
Yoo that quest was sick, sad that nobody is talking about it
Lost to the Ages, exploration, mystery and three possible rewards that give this quest a lot of replay value. My favorite is the Aetherial Crown, allowing to have the power of two Standing Stones, making very interesting combinations.
Illia is actually someone i go out of my way to recruit, I like to use her as a steward at my steading. The sensation of actually helping someone turn their life around feels remarkably good.
Can we get a top 5 Skyrim trees please?
The Larch
The Gildergleam gotta be in that one

Owen Squelch that would be epic
How could he stretch that to 10 minutes
Not gonna lie I thought I’d found everything interesting in my 7 years of playing Skyrim, but I hadn’t even heard of 4 of these quests
Literally just playing it the first time ever, not nearly finished main story, lvl 53 right now and i got all of these quest's already..
I loved the ‘Rise in the East’ side quest.I didn’t even know that quest had existed until I stumbled upon it four years after Skyrim’s launch.
Hey Nate you ever cover Forelhost near riften. From a cult mass suicide, to dead draugr kids. This is one to talk about.
Excuse me, WHAT??? How have I not found this one yet??
Nate: I'll not say the murder's name!
Screen: Calixto was the butcher.
Great job!
The entire dark brotherhood quest line has to be my favorite ^v^
i really love those equipment items you get that boost your Thief skills. it makes Pickpocket MUCH easier to level.
-to be honest, i only level Pickpocket to get the "extra pockets" perk. +100 max carry weight! VERY helpful.

I've been watching these videos for a while because I love them, I love Skyrim and I've been waiting for a quest that I may have missed (I dedicated a big portion of my life to Skyrim for a hot minute lol). With this video, I finally found it (the East Imperial Trading company one). Thank you!
my fav quest is the one where you get drunk asf and do a lotta dumb shit jus to end u meeting a daedric lord and he gives you the sanguine rose which is overpowered asf early game
The Markarth Prison Stint is definitely among my favorites 😁 !
I actually don't think the stones of barenziah was a bad quest. For one you can get the stones really quickly by interacting with one several times quickly, thus getting 2 or 3 stones from one location. And the part where you get the crown is actually fun imo because you go through the ruin finding out what happened to caravan and seeing the ghost. Its a fun little mystery in its own right
And the reward is really good
And even if glitching isn't the thing of the player, then all the locations are listed online, so it's just about writing it down and then go on a hunt for them.
Tbh if only there were multiple ones at the same location normally. Or like if the guild had 5 or something already.
I just got a mod that gave each stone a quest marker soooo much easier
Spook 1918 that works too if you have mods, but sadly I only have the xbox 360 and cant get mods :(
You forgot to mention that Illia can be your allie but if you leave her you won't be able to find her again.
The first time I allied with Illia I sacrificed her to Boethia...
@@jenb7780 omg XD
@@jenb7780 good idea
i'm guessing she disappears if you don't use her as a follower before leaving. i've used her as a follower, then sent her on her way, and months later went back to the tower and got her to follow me again.
I positively adored Deathbrand because it's just a good old-fashioned pirate treasure hunt. It even has a map with X's that mark the spots!
Man! I've logged hundreds hours of play on multiple characters and different types of play and I've never even heard of the first 3 quests. Done the last two multiple times, but I still can't figure how I've missed those 3 quests. Baffled, yet thankful for this video!
I accidentally started Blood On The Ice because I broke into Hjerim... swear it felt like I was gonna be jumped the whole time
after all these years of playing and ive never completed or even heard of the first 4 quests on this list.
OH MY GOD NATE!!!!!!
I have played this game over 4000 hours this game... and still playing!!!!
Thought I done it all every way every quest of every way every character o every thing!!!!
I heard all of your 10 tiny details and almost none has baffled me..... BUT
B U T I have just realized I never played Rise in The East!!!!!!!!!!
I am shaking to go back home and do so. What else have I missed? How this is possible?
I am going truly mad.
Never done the 2nd or 4th quests, and the hagraven one at the start of this video is one of my favorites. My all time fabe is the one where you get drunk with Sam.
I just gotta say thank you epic Nate . You’re content is entertaining to me but your voice some reason puts me to sleep dawg especially the nights where I can’t sleep, I put on a video of yours n bam! I’m sleep. So thank you honestly
Hey, I've been playing this game f o r e v e r and there were two side missions I don't remember doing! Wow, I'll have to give a try. Thanks Nate :)
My favorite side quest is extremely small most people haven't even played it it's called Return to Your Roots
Someone should do a compilation every time nate says murdered to death
king zimzam or a drinking game
OMG!!! I played the quest in dark light tower one of the first few times I played Skyrim and loved it and could never find it again. I thought I dreamt it. I was so mad that she wouldn’t follow me cuz I already had a follower and just walked away... I could never find her again after that. This has been one of my greatest mysteries for 8 years now!!!! Thank you
I don't think it's even a quest but there's a lighthouse on the northern coast line that has a mystery, I think some people went missing. you end up finding a chorus tunnel system under the lighthouse and the remains of the missing person. If you were reading all the notes you may get the hint that he wanted his remains to be cremated at the lighthouse, if you take them there you are awarded with a permanent restoration bonus listed under "magic: current effects".
What I found so great about this is the fact the game never tells you to cremate the remains, it's something hidden there for the lore aficionados and role players.

Some of my favorite quests in Skyrim:
(Not in any orders)
1. The Cursed Tribe
I didn't know about this quest at all when I started it. I didn't know it was the Volendrung quest as I never saw that hammer before. But I had an absolute blast with this quest. I let Yamarz try to deal with the giant, and when he got 1 shot, I laughed my ass off. The location was also very unique and interesting. Very fun quest to do.
2. The Unquiet Dead
This was a very unique quest. And absolutely horrendously tragic one to boot. I won't spoil it too much as it's probably somewhat new(?), but I really enjoyed this murder mystery. And you get one amazing reward afterwards.
3. The Break of Dawn
Yes, I actually like this quest. It's very unique in all aspects. The enemies, the beacons, Dawnbreaker of course one of the best looking weapons in the game, you flying super high in the air, strong 2-phased boss, great money loot, everything. You can't even start the quest whenever you want, you have to find the beacon first and it can be almost anywhere. The only annoying thing about this quest is the hissing light. And super loud Meridia 😅
4. The Blessings of Nature
One of the rare quests that actually has a noticable consequences after the quest. Having the Gildergreen bloom and pilgrims coming to look at it, this quest feels very unique and rewarding.
5. The Ebony Warrior
Skyrim wouldn't be Skyrim without this quest. To even get it, you must be level 80. Which is an achievement all on its own. Then this badass guy comes to you with his request. It's just so absurd, weird, and epic that it deserves a spot on my favorite quests.
I find it humorous that you've never invaded Japhet's Folly until more recently; but also that Blood on Thin Ice ... My biggest issue with that quest has always been dealing with the Amulet & getting it named properly (And able to be removed from your inventory) if you don't do the quest *In one particular way* that is totally *NOT* immediately obvious. Highly recommend creating various save files if you don't know what you're doing with it.
