Skyrim fun fact: the claws racial ability actually adds 12 points of unarmed damage to your attacks instead of the advertised 15 points of damage. Just another good ol’ Bethesda feature.
yeah and khajit also have a base unarmed damage of 10 rather than the 4 base damage of other races, meaning they have an extra 18 unarmed damage than other races, I'm also pretty sure the 22 damage combined with the speed of unarmed attacks means you have a higher base dps than any weapon
I always thought it was funny that if Alduin would have been like 10 seconds later, you would have been executed and he would win. Dude waited 1000 years waiting for his time to shine and undershot it by a few seconds
I saw a video where someone downloaded a bunch of joke mod and one of them was that the execution doesn't get interrupted by Alduin so you just die and restart 😅
Maybe since alduin is trying to revive the dragons, maybe he sensed the soul of one in you and the shout he does at beginning is him, "reviving" the dragon soul in you, creating the very dragonborn that comes to kill him
@@V2guardian Huh... Well that would make him a pretty clumsy villain if all he had to do was keep his trap shut and the Legion would have salved his problem🤪. Do you think a Dragonborn dragon soul feels different to sense than an ordinary one? If not I can understand Alduins indiscretion. If so, (as he seems to make a B-line for the Dovakin) then... Well... Nope no way around it Alduins dumb😆.
Fun fact, the opening scenes physics aren't scripted, its simulated every time you start a new game, which is why sometimes a bee will fly in the way causing the cart to freak out, and other times it goes completely normally
I remember being outside a gamestop in 2011 waiting for the midnight release, they had a projector playing the intro on the store window. And it bugged out like crazy. At least we knew it was gonna be a good bethesda game
It's also why you can mod in dogfighting dragons and the guards and horses will freak out, resulting in getting stuck walking into a wall with NPCs staring at you like they know you're to blame for the eternally stuck ride to nowhere.
I remember something like that happening ruining my game so I had to restart. I then ruined it on my OWN terms by turning the first dragon jnto a skeever. The game didn't like that
it also gets fucked up by mods pretty quick and pretty bad. live another life is an esential mod just to skip this shit. besides it is just soul crushing to go through every time you create a character.
The ring of the beast(Dawnguard only) would be exceptional for this challenge as it increases your health by 100 and your unarmed damage by 20 and if you copy it even just 5 times now you have 500 extra health and 100 extra unarmed damage
OH NOOOOOOOO!!! I have two girlfriends, but very few people on YT are happy for my relationship success. They disl*ke all of the videos I make with my 2 girlfriends. Please be kind, dear dre
Yeah, I thought he would actually beat the game, not just get OP and then mess around. Might be that at some point in the main quest line you can’t proceed without gaining experience in a skill somehow.
You make duplicating an item way harder than it needs to be. - Lydia picks up the item - you walk out the gate - turn around and walk back in You don't need to muck around with any of that fast travel bologna
That indeed works. Only issue I've come across is sometimes items randomly disappear, or an old lady that walks by and gives it back to you. Hiding in the little cubby to the right of the gate solves the latter issue.
The fire and frost breath shouts actually hit quite hard and are capable of one shotting enemies like draugr. Being level 1, spamming these would be really powerful
No teleporting needed for duplication btw. You can just step outside then step back in immediately done. Also once you get to dropping larger amounts on the floor just get your follower to pick them up and leave and reenter, get follower to pick them back up again. Rise and repeat. This will save a bit of time for your future videos.
As long as you don't actually get the sill increase, you can go to jail to rest your skill progression. Like make a couple iron daggers then go to jail. Your blacksmith skill should go back down as long as you don't get the pop-up for the skill increase
@@AmataTai He said no xp at all, I'm certain he just completely forgot that you get speech levels from buying things. Oh i just saw his edited top comment he absolutely forgot.
You know, I'm starting to think Skyrim might NOT be all that balanced. It clearly has NO exploits however, these are traditional game features for the savvy minded.
@@jordonkautz1470 A "fixed" Skyrim is a bland one-off like nearly every other game out there. Keep my Skyrim open source and inexplicably moddable Todd, thanks.
Skyrim is better than balanced. It's infinitely replayable. Something that no balanced game can claim. I'm rather sick of people acting like it's some horrible pos, when no game since has matched it. 2 console generations later, and it still can't be beat.
Take that tea and just flush it down the toilet. Grab an espresso instead. It actually has a nice taste instead of just putting random leaf's into some water.
I tried a run of never leveling just to see how far I could get until the quests force me to level up, and honestly you can basically play the entire game and it's DLC's without ever leveling up! What helps is the fact that all the skills passively get stronger the higher they get, so for example while you would never be able to make any good armor or weapons, with the help of a high enough Blacksmithing level, enchanted items and alchemy potions you can upgrade your gear to really high end qualities,.. same goes with making potions and enchanting. I even managed to kill Karstaag at level 1,.. and yes it was HARD and took plenty of attempts. What made me want to do this challenge was the simple fact that enemies scale to your level regardless if your main combat skills are low but your other skills keep giving you levels before you are able to get to the next milestone in a combat skill.
4 months late but I do say it's impressive that you killed Karstaag at lv 1. I would've given up once I found out his base level was 90. (I think. Some enemies scale with the player and other enemies have a base level that scale with you after the fact and even some like Miraak have a levelling cap)
Theres an exploit that allows you to accept and apply level ups one at a time while also buying a perk, regardless of how many additional level ups are available. This allows you to be a char level 1 while having smithing skill of 90 (for example), and then you accept a single char level up (instead of all of them) and buy arcane smithing. Now youre level 2 and can upgrade enchanted items. Then accept one more and get steel smithing, and can beat most of the game on legendary as a level 3 with steel stuff. I have a video on this exploit and im not sure if anybody else has done it before
Also the fact enemies level with you so they stay level one as well, an with how overpowered the claws are at level one this wouldn't be really that much of a challenge. The hard part of this would be constantly staying aware not to do anything to level up any skills, not the gameplay itself
It does, so saying at the start "0 experience" was wrong but he'd still be at level 1 as it takes a whole lot more than that to level up. Still an entertaining video
@@tbotalpha8133 Partial Skill xp can still be removed by going to prison and sleeping it off. Spiff leveling up a skill tree means it's an impure lvl 1 challenge, and he did state, no skill level ups, true level one, which he sadly failed.
You try being that size and still have these giant walking gods afraid of you and worshipping you and feeding you. If you were half as entitled to affection as any house cat, you'd have a complex too.
When i first played skyrim i didnt understand the leveling system, and must have played 20 hours before finally seeing "level up" in the menu, i had met the grey beards, became a werewolf, joined a civil war, and burned some guys beehives while being basically an NPC irl
I did the same thing, but in my case I just discovered the level up mechanic when I was in skuldafn. English is not my first language and I didn't know English at that time.
I'm the exact opposite lol, I did pretty much every side quest and got to lvl 20 with all the deadric artifacts all without doing the whiterun quest, I was wondering so badly how to get shouts 😅
Imagine your friend slowly and aggressively transforms into a horrifying beast with blatantly magic shadows and pure evil surrounding him the entire time. He looks down with a snarl you’ve never heard from any sort of animal before. And his glowing eyes filled with death stare into yours and he says only one thing….. “hey bro I wanna trade sum stuff.”
I remember when oblivion came out, and as an impatient teen I had no idea sleeping = the level up system, so I'd spent hours playing (struggling as a level 1) when I'd finally realised I must of got 20+ levels in one go
The great thing is that the enemies won't scale to higher levels since he's level one so he has the damage of a endgame player while fighting level one enemies
The enemies only scale within a preset range of levels depending on the enemy, so while some may be level 1 most are higher as their minimum level is higher.
Always glad when watching spiff, being reminded that the community actually made him create his own watermark for the stock pictures after he bought them. And keep it up with the skyrim videos, our never ending source of joy.
@@katieheys8564 yeah but I mean that after he bought them, and started using the bought ones, people missed the watermarks and that's when we got the current ones with SPIFFCO lol
I just love the fact that he was essentially exploiting the system by using the images with their watermarks. It was so annoying the first time I saw one of his videos until I realized he was doing it on purpose. Even though he's using the spiffco watermark now, I still wanna giggle when my brain notices the watermarks.
Good times... though I feel like the sound and the video were a little out of sync as of around 18:30 or so. Minor issue and this was still a great watch. Upvoted and my love to Terry... may he only punch those that deserve it.
After I realized he's gonna buy stuff, I was secretly just waiting for the point in the video where he gains a point in Speech and has to start all over. :D In the end he didn't trade that much, oh well.
Yes! I did this on stream a few years ago! It was such a great challenge! In my run, I relied on followers, shouts, staves, and scrolls to get through. No armor, no magic, no weapons, nothing!! Got Stenvar as a follower and found the Giant Club and we went to town. At one point we also had Vigilance the war dog running with us as well. It’s actually a fairly simple (not easy) challenge! Great work!!
@@mrhawkyy1: And just like the hallowed Rules of the Internet, there's a followup/corollary rule that if it doesn't exist yet, you must make it. NO EXCEPTIONS!
12:23 Spiff there is a faster way...... drop items near the wall by Belethor's shop, Have Lydia pick them up then visit him, reset his inventory (also you can sell your unwanted items before the reset if you want), head back outside and the items will be duplicated as well as you making infinite money
@@KolincaResNovae it was selling and I understand but regardless you don’t have to buy anything you can just reset his inventory and it will respawn the items near the wall

Could’ve gone for the ring of the beast from the vampire quest line. It makes claws do 20 additional damage, which works with khajit racial. Doesn’t really matter considering the glitch with many equipped rings tho
@@lucasparadox6823 You need to join the Volkihar and do the "Rings of Blood Magic" side quest from Feran Sadri. The ring in question is the "Ring of the Beast" which gives 100 Health and 20 Unarmed Damage.
I knew he was going to fail as soon as he started collecting gold and didn't unassign his sneak key. ( I guess you could spend the gold on on a carriage ride but still. ) I did this exact same run a couple years ago with no exploits , wasn't easy , lots of resetting because I accidentally gained xp. But it is possible without glitches or exploits.
Terry is a terrifying god of destruction and degradation. Don't be fooled by the smooth description and demonstration of this monstrosity! Damning this beast is not even a problem, it's barley a inconvenience
@@devinhull5758 That answer is actually a no. To beat Skyrim, you have to deal the final blow to Alduin, so you can beat the story dealing only one point of damage at the minimum
I love that the random dungeon you went into after the Lord Stone was the Dawnguard dungeon with Serana. Come to think of it, werewolf and vampire could be a solid way to win at level 1.
Also there is a fun feature of the game how you can be a Werewolf and Vampire together. Join the Companions becoming a Werewolf and during the Dawnguard DLC take the Potions of Blood from Harkon's Castle and with Serana as follower, give her the Potions of Blood. She uses one in the middle of combat and you will have become a Werewolf Vampire.
@@DefectivePieceofChalk not vampire, because you can't normally get vampire till you're able to do some dawnguard stuff and that starts at what, level 14? you can also still do melee vamp stuff, though the sunlight penalties kinda suck. as for werewolves not being able to equip gear, that's kinda the point for a run like this - they've got natural armor and healing built in with opening up bandits like a lunchable. werewolves are more sturdy than leather armor or other similar low level gear anyway. and you can't get hit in light/heavy armor without gaining light/heavy armor exp, so if you're going for a no exp route AS WELL, werewolf's better than nekkid. literally the only thing you're missing out on is a ring and amulet that you can't buy, or whatever enchanted robes you can find which are mostly using magic based so don't actually matter. it's basically a unarmed, naked, no magic, no making potions, no buying anything, no making food, etc run. werewolf's not exactly slowing your roll in any way... in fact, it's basically doubling/tripling your health/stamina, doubling your damage, providing far more damage and armor probably possible in this run, giving you a bit of an attack speed bonus, AND healing which otherwise would be a PITA as you're limited to basically picking vegis, eating raw meat, or found potions.
@@leeman27534 I actually finished a run like this, but glitchless. Inspired by this video. I was wrong about the vampire lord stuff. You can start Dawnguard manually at any level by talking to Agmaer in Dayspring Canyon. It's pretty much the first thing I tested. Base werewolf form is less damage than khajiit unarmed damage, even without gear. The extra resistance helps a bit though so you could go that route if you really want to, or if yiu don't have Dawnguard. But you can only transform once a day, which is a big drawback. Alternatively you can unlock vampire lord right at the start of the game, then do a few sidequests until you get the ring of the beast and later on, the amulet of bats. You can level up the vampire lord perk tree because it works off kills, not experience. And vampire lord transformation does not have a cooldown. You can pop in and out whenever you want. A max rank vampire lord has decent self healing, a caster form that amps up that self healing and lets you kite hostiles around (you will need it) and a melee form that lets you wreck enemies. So I'd say vampire lord is definitely the best option. Most, but not all enemies scale down. You'll know when you fight them. Having Serana as a follower helps a lot. She's fine with your transformations, unlike most followers, she's surprisingly potent in combat and you can let her engage first as she's essential. I finished Dawnguard, Dragonborn and the base main story quests at level 1. If you go all the way, Miraak's robe is very nice for when you're not transformed. Not to mention several black book perks.
I'm surprised you didn't go and grab the rings of blood magic, specifically the ring of the beast; 100 health and 20 unarmed damage. Plus vampire lord at level 1 is op
@@Patrick_The_Pure yeah, but he definitely wasn't playing on legendary. Guards in Helgen would've done way more damage, given he was nekkid with no lord stone buff.
@@leeman27534 yes, you can. The quest automatically unlocks at lv10, but you can still reach Dayspring Canyon without any prompts and start the DLC "early"
Thank you Spiff for always advertising Yorkshire Tea... after purchasing about 540 units of it, I may be as addictet to it as a Khajit to Skooma... so thank you very much.
My friend and I have been theory-crafting for this concept for years, probably since 2016 about whether this is possible. We managed to do it at level 1 as a Kajiit who joined the Companions (werewolves).
i've actually (Well, kinda, didn't really think about 0 exp, just largely didn't use skills) done it a few times, i call it the monk run. unarmed, unarmored, no buying/selling, etc. i do usually make some vegi soup, though, which gives exp, and usually abuse the hell out of werewolves getting extra hp, armor, healing options that don't involve restoration or chugging potions, etc.
Sure Terry's plan might be to take over Skyrim, but next thing you'll know he'll challenge his brother and take over Kellogg to make his own brand of cereal called Mini Long Pork Crunch.
Note: On 28th June 2019 Spiff was at 559,409 subs, that's an increase of over 2.1 million subs in less than 3 years a massive number so very well done @The Spiffing Brit well done indeed you have blown all our expectations out of the the water. :)
fortify unarmed rings? wait, that gains you enchanting experience. Shouts, I suppose, plus talos amulets and jail item stack glitch. That alone could probably get you by. Rings of health, backpacks, amulets of talos, seems like it would all do just fine.
@@Patrick_The_Pure eh, i don't think having mods fails the challenge, really. i mean, if they were ridiculous, maybe. also, the anniversary edition apparently does add things like fortify unarmed rings and backpacks to the game. he also still did it at level 1, even if he intended to get no exp. also, if you were thinking this was actually meant to be a 'challenge', you're on the wrong channel, man. this was 'how badly can i break the game, following these rules'
I've done this myself, the leveling isn't forced, so you overpower your enemies after a few hours because you take and do far less and more damage than anything around you without really even trying.
As others have pointed out, he failed the no xp challenge by bartering, but he could have become a vampire (stage four vampirism gives +20 unarmed damage) and completed the Dawnguard DLC to get the Ring of the Beast (+100 hp and +20 unarmed) and gotten similar results.
@@ecargfosreya No, doesn't give you extra unarmed damage, only resistances, stat debuffs in sunlight and some abilities, but no unarmed. The ring itself can be obtained from joining Harkon. As soon as you have to deliver back the blood chalice, make a save before you do it. Turn it in and hope Faran Sadri gives you a quest, and then hope it's the blood magic ring quest. If not, reload and try again.
Yeaa some of this seems iffy. Definitely entertaining, but theres no such thing as a vendor selling a "Ring of fortify unarmed". Only comes on gloves of the pugilist and ring of the beast

He could’ve used staffs, while they have destruction magic effects they don’t actually increase the skill. Some do 50 points of damage which is super op at level 1
Though charging the staffs would level up enchanting, so he'd have to keep collecting large amounts of those thing for it to be practical, but apart from that it was a clever idea of yours, that didn't even cross my mind.
@@morrigankasa570 Marginally- Argonians abilities to self heal without leveling up- not to mention disease immunity and water breathing would make this type of play through much easier. I mean the other khajit passive is better stealth, which cant be used. Soo.

Spiff, there's a Todd Howard song which you would love, it's called 'It just works - Chalkeaters'. I think it's a beautiful representation of how our beloved Todd views Skyrim and his other perfectly balanced games.
5:45 for some reason my ears picked up on a "quite simply", another "quite simply", a "quite _frankly",_ and one more "simply" (and all in under 10 seconds!) how simply quite remarkably frank of you, spiff.
Spiff deserves his own skyrim mod - the Spîffing Breton?! something along the lines of the civil war happening over tea and coffee. heck maybe it was Todd's vision all along so someone could lead the East Empire trading company.
That's brilliant. The Imperials are at war with the Stormcloaks because they tried to tax the tea, so in rebellion the Stormcloaks snuck onto a barge, threw all the tea in the canal, then proceeded to drink coffee.
@@sharmaarjuna2169 in my moment of fantasy i envisioned a whole questline around the EEtCompany (which has none) and becoming it's CEO as an alternative to dominate in the civil war, choice between tea and coffee. plantations on a dlc sized island because 'exploits' lol, yorkshire gold temporary bonuses to alchemy and speech perk trees, top hat outfits and even the majestic moustache as an equippable item. in a nutshell, something worthy of a patreon download. oh my... it just dawned on me.... a shout... that summons Keanu Reeves xD
So fun fact, you didnt need to be naked. Things like robes/clothes, shoes, gloves, and hats, all are classified as “clothing” not “armor” and will not increase any skills when worn, and will mot benefit from any perks except for a few in the magic skill trees, but none from the armor trees. Its not super useful without enchanting, but is possible. And there are a few pieces of enchanted clothing, mostly robes, which dont exactly help, since you cant use magic, but they are technically an option. Also, if i remember right, using staves dont actually increase your magic skills at all, so you can use those. Like a grand staff of mending to heal yourself, for example, would be very useful here.
It's better to use the Rings of Blood Magic from Dawnguard. Not only do you not need to buy or enchant anything, avoiding any XP gain, they give you more bonuses and the questline already gives you the vampire lord form for the equipping glitch. Ring of the Beast gives you bonus health and unarmed damage. Intended to only work in vampire lord form, but works anyway because Skyrim. Ring of the Erudite bonus magicka and vampiric drain damage. Also, the vampire lord's vampiric drain doesn't grant XP, either. (Especially annoying since he literally walked into where the questline begins. It starts in Dimhollow Crypt.)
I am pretty sure you can only start the dawngaurd quest line if you are at least level 5 I think. Maybe level 10 Edit: Apparantley if you go to Dayspring canyon you can do it before level 10 triggers guards and an orc NPC to mention it
@@donweiss2326 No. The courier with the invitation to join the Dawnguard only arrives later, but if you know where Castle dawnguard is you can go in right away.

I always in my playthroughs use the feature chests of Dawnstar and outside Markarth. Also discover Dawnstar Sanctuary and travel across the waters to Castle Volkihar.
Fun fact: You can't actually get the ring he got for unarmed damage. You need to disenchant The Gloves of the Pugilist (which will level your skills sadly) and then enchant a ring with it (which will also increase your skill points).
Technically even buying the health ring breaks the "gain not a single point of experience" since buying and selling items gives exp for speech as far as i know. but it takes a lot to gain an actual level in speech
@@torbeni.7731 Actually, you're incredibly right! And to be honest it probably didn't take long as the exp is proportional to the price and he bought a fairly expansive ring for base level speech!
Wait… all this time I though the Gloves of the Pugilist was the only item in the entire game to have the fortify unarmed enchantment (aside from that one Dawnguard ring). So how is it a ring with that enchantment would randomly spawn in a merchant’s inventory?
oh, when you said "most powerful level 1 character" that reminded me of the infamous "Pun-pun" D&D character. a Kobold PC with the appropriate skills and the right kind of Familiar can pull off something similar to the "enchant-potion-loop" in Skyrim, repeatedly boosting his stats to absurdly high levels. one of those skills is "wild shape", BTW.

I tried a run of never leveling just to see how far I could get until the quests force me to level up, and honestly you can basically play the entire game and it's DLC's without ever leveling up! What helps is the fact that all the skills passively get stronger the higher they get, so for example while you would never be able to make any good armor or weapons, with the help of a high enough Blacksmithing level, enchanted items and alchemy potions you can upgrade your gear to really high end qualities,.. same goes with making potions and enchanting.
I even managed to kill Karstaag at level 1,.. and yes it was HARD and took plenty of attempts.
What made me want to do this challenge was the simple fact that enemies scale to your level regardless if your main combat skills are low but your other skills keep giving you levels before you are able to get to the next milestone in a combat skill.
4 months late but I do say it's impressive that you killed Karstaag at lv 1. I would've given up once I found out his base level was 90. (I think. Some enemies scale with the player and other enemies have a base level that scale with you after the fact and even some like Miraak have a levelling cap)
Theres an exploit that allows you to accept and apply level ups one at a time while also buying a perk, regardless of how many additional level ups are available. This allows you to be a char level 1 while having smithing skill of 90 (for example), and then you accept a single char level up (instead of all of them) and buy arcane smithing. Now youre level 2 and can upgrade enchanted items. Then accept one more and get steel smithing, and can beat most of the game on legendary as a level 3 with steel stuff. I have a video on this exploit and im not sure if anybody else has done it before
Also the fact enemies level with you so they stay level one as well, an with how overpowered the claws are at level one this wouldn't be really that much of a challenge. The hard part of this would be constantly staying aware not to do anything to level up any skills, not the gameplay itself
"You're ruining my immersiveness Dragon"

When i first played skyrim i didnt understand the leveling system, and must have played 20 hours before finally seeing "level up" in the menu, i had met the grey beards, became a werewolf, joined a civil war, and burned some guys beehives while being basically an NPC irl
Thats the funniest shit ive seen all week, thanks dude 🙌
Oh thank God I'm not the only one that did this
I did the same thing, but in my case I just discovered the level up mechanic when I was in skuldafn. English is not my first language and I didn't know English at that time.
I'm the exact opposite lol, I did pretty much every side quest and got to lvl 20 with all the deadric artifacts all without doing the whiterun quest, I was wondering so badly how to get shouts 😅

Imagine your friend slowly and aggressively transforms into a horrifying beast with blatantly magic shadows and pure evil surrounding him the entire time. He looks down with a snarl you’ve never heard from any sort of animal before. And his glowing eyes filled with death stare into yours and he says only one thing….. “hey bro I wanna trade sum stuff.”
All the memes and exploits aside, Skyrim is one of my favourite games ever. Especially when shuffling around mods with different playthroughs.
It's still the GOAT.

The great thing is that the enemies won't scale to higher levels since he's level one so he has the damage of a endgame player while fighting level one enemies
The enemies only scale within a preset range of levels depending on the enemy, so while some may be level 1 most are higher as their minimum level is higher.

I love that the random dungeon you went into after the Lord Stone was the Dawnguard dungeon with Serana. Come to think of it, werewolf and vampire could be a solid way to win at level 1.
Also there is a fun feature of the game how you can be a Werewolf and Vampire together. Join the Companions becoming a Werewolf and during the Dawnguard DLC take the Potions of Blood from Harkon's Castle and with Serana as follower, give her the Potions of Blood. She uses one in the middle of combat and you will have become a Werewolf Vampire.
Most vampire skills are tied to a school of magic and would give experience. And while transformed into a werewolf, your equipped gear doesn't work.
@@DefectivePieceofChalk not vampire, because you can't normally get vampire till you're able to do some dawnguard stuff and that starts at what, level 14? you can also still do melee vamp stuff, though the sunlight penalties kinda suck.
as for werewolves not being able to equip gear, that's kinda the point for a run like this - they've got natural armor and healing built in with opening up bandits like a lunchable. werewolves are more sturdy than leather armor or other similar low level gear anyway. and you can't get hit in light/heavy armor without gaining light/heavy armor exp, so if you're going for a no exp route AS WELL, werewolf's better than nekkid. literally the only thing you're missing out on is a ring and amulet that you can't buy, or whatever enchanted robes you can find which are mostly using magic based so don't actually matter.
it's basically a unarmed, naked, no magic, no making potions, no buying anything, no making food, etc run. werewolf's not exactly slowing your roll in any way... in fact, it's basically doubling/tripling your health/stamina, doubling your damage, providing far more damage and armor probably possible in this run, giving you a bit of an attack speed bonus, AND healing which otherwise would be a PITA as you're limited to basically picking vegis, eating raw meat, or found potions.
@@leeman27534 I actually finished a run like this, but glitchless. Inspired by this video. I was wrong about the vampire lord stuff. You can start Dawnguard manually at any level by talking to Agmaer in Dayspring Canyon. It's pretty much the first thing I tested.
Base werewolf form is less damage than khajiit unarmed damage, even without gear. The extra resistance helps a bit though so you could go that route if you really want to, or if yiu don't have Dawnguard. But you can only transform once a day, which is a big drawback.
Alternatively you can unlock vampire lord right at the start of the game, then do a few sidequests until you get the ring of the beast and later on, the amulet of bats. You can level up the vampire lord perk tree because it works off kills, not experience. And vampire lord transformation does not have a cooldown. You can pop in and out whenever you want.
A max rank vampire lord has decent self healing, a caster form that amps up that self healing and lets you kite hostiles around (you will need it) and a melee form that lets you wreck enemies. So I'd say vampire lord is definitely the best option. Most, but not all enemies scale down. You'll know when you fight them.
Having Serana as a follower helps a lot. She's fine with your transformations, unlike most followers, she's surprisingly potent in combat and you can let her engage first as she's essential.
I finished Dawnguard, Dragonborn and the base main story quests at level 1. If you go all the way, Miraak's robe is very nice for when you're not transformed. Not to mention several black book perks.
I love the weird backstories he gives his characters
I'm surprised you didn't go and grab the rings of blood magic, specifically the ring of the beast; 100 health and 20 unarmed damage. Plus vampire lord at level 1 is op
Depends on the difficulty, on Legendary you get oneshot by some enemies, without proper healing it's really not worth it.
@@Patrick_The_Pure yeah, but he definitely wasn't playing on legendary. Guards in Helgen would've done way more damage, given he was nekkid with no lord stone buff.
And since those rings are quest rewards you don't gain speech experience
can you get level 1 vamp lord, though? thought it was only available doing dawnguard content, which starts at like 14.
@@leeman27534 yes, you can. The quest automatically unlocks at lv10, but you can still reach Dayspring Canyon without any prompts and start the DLC "early"

Because of you, I re-installed Skyrim without any mods but with all the 3 DLCs.. So here goes my time again.
My friend and I have been theory-crafting for this concept for years, probably since 2016 about whether this is possible. We managed to do it at level 1 as a Kajiit who joined the Companions (werewolves).
i've actually (Well, kinda, didn't really think about 0 exp, just largely didn't use skills) done it a few times, i call it the monk run. unarmed, unarmored, no buying/selling, etc.
i do usually make some vegi soup, though, which gives exp, and usually abuse the hell out of werewolves getting extra hp, armor, healing options that don't involve restoration or chugging potions, etc.

As others have pointed out, he failed the no xp challenge by bartering, but he could have become a vampire (stage four vampirism gives +20 unarmed damage) and completed the Dawnguard DLC to get the Ring of the Beast (+100 hp and +20 unarmed) and gotten similar results.
He also said you could just break out of bounds and steal from the chests because with skyrim, broken workarounds are the norm
Go to prison, reset partial xp and you're set. Really not that big a deal, as long as you don't actually level up a skill you won't get xp.

Spiff deserves his own skyrim mod - the Spîffing Breton?! something along the lines of the civil war happening over tea and coffee. heck maybe it was Todd's vision all along so someone could lead the East Empire trading company.
And how about additionally putting in a mission where you meet up with the emperor of tamriel:Todd Howard?
That's brilliant. The Imperials are at war with the Stormcloaks because they tried to tax the tea, so in rebellion the Stormcloaks snuck onto a barge, threw all the tea in the canal, then proceeded to drink coffee.

huh, i thought the only item that fortified unarmed was the Glove of The Pugilist in the Ratway in Riften
So fun fact, you didnt need to be naked. Things like robes/clothes, shoes, gloves, and hats, all are classified as “clothing” not “armor” and will not increase any skills when worn, and will mot benefit from any perks except for a few in the magic skill trees, but none from the armor trees. Its not super useful without enchanting, but is possible. And there are a few pieces of enchanted clothing, mostly robes, which dont exactly help, since you cant use magic, but they are technically an option.
Also, if i remember right, using staves dont actually increase your magic skills at all, so you can use those. Like a grand staff of mending to heal yourself, for example, would be very useful here.
It's better to use the Rings of Blood Magic from Dawnguard.
Not only do you not need to buy or enchant anything, avoiding any XP gain, they give you more bonuses and the questline already gives you the vampire lord form for the equipping glitch.
Ring of the Beast gives you bonus health and unarmed damage. Intended to only work in vampire lord form, but works anyway because Skyrim.
Ring of the Erudite bonus magicka and vampiric drain damage. Also, the vampire lord's vampiric drain doesn't grant XP, either.
(Especially annoying since he literally walked into where the questline begins. It starts in Dimhollow Crypt.)
I am pretty sure you can only start the dawngaurd quest line if you are at least level 5 I think. Maybe level 10

Spiff: "I took an arrow to the knee."
Herbalist:
Symptoms of level 1:

If you want a fun time where you feel overpowered just used double flames and don't level up, your going to plough your enemies
Ahhh but that gives you experience WHICH IS ILLEGAL!!!!!
@@thespiffingbrit true but only your a god 😂
@@thespiffingbrit but you already gained experienced in this playthrough
The Draugr Deathlords in the Dragonborn msq say hello.
This was.. hilarious. You have earned a subscribe and a like. Terry should be well compensated for his good deed, lol.
Spiff you forgot that trading increases your speech skill (I think) which could theoretically cause you to level up!
Didn't buying the ring give exp to the speech skill?
Yes, I think so...
Yeah, it gives some Speech exp.
indeed it did
But the title of the challenge is beating the game at Level 1. So yes got some experience but still not enough to get Level 2.
26:05 “the boy cannot take a hit” cuts to Terry tanking a whole dragon 😂
Wait… all this time I though the Gloves of the Pugilist was the only item in the entire game to have the fortify unarmed enchantment (aside from that one Dawnguard ring). So how is it a ring with that enchantment would randomly spawn in a merchant’s inventory?
It's something new from AE.
@@alpacalover0Thank you. I was wondering that too.
whats AE
@@SSJ3CyLink Anniversary Edition lol
ahhh thanks, i stopped buying skyrim after ps4
Terry is the original Mr. T with all those amulets of Talos
I pity the foo that gets suplexed by Terry.
I love terry the tiger, and he is in no way threatening me or my family with the destruction of the universe or private property.
No need to fast travel, you can just go out and in quicky.
"Argh, it *is* most of my gold", Spiff whinges as if he hasn't published multiple videos showing how gold is limitless in Skyrim.
oh, when you said "most powerful level 1 character" that reminded me of the infamous "Pun-pun" D&D character.
a Kobold PC with the appropriate skills and the right kind of Familiar can pull off something similar to the "enchant-potion-loop" in Skyrim, repeatedly boosting his stats to absurdly high levels.
one of those skills is "wild shape", BTW.
Orc werewolf. Use rage then turn into werewolf. Most Op thing you can do at level 1 without gaining any skills.
Oh god this is powerful!
aslong as you dont have the dwanguard dlc which added werewolf skills
@@shay4261 you only gain those skills through feasting, something that's entirely optional
@@shay4261 you only get werewolf skill after eating people. So just don't do that
@@dustinthewind357 but isnt being able to turn into a werewolf a skill in itself?
hmm...
Item duplication glitch thousands of vegetable stews. Nothing can kill you while you claw it to death.
In the original skyrim shouting raised destruction skill , in my current skyrim remastered anniversary edition the shout raise’s speech I believe
50-90% of the time put into these videos probably goes to the creative and fun characters that Spiff plays XD
"You're going to taste his fists of fury!"
"Wait, because he's a cat I guess its fists of *FURRY* "
Me: "But Terry has claws!"
