- In Todays video we create an incredibly overpowered Skyrim character, Grimble, who we'll watch stealthily make his way through some of the game's quests, a little of the main quest and then also the Dawnguard quest line whilst hopefully never being detected by an enemy.

Video title - Can I Beat Skyrim Without Being Detected? (by enemies)
#Skyrim
Hey folks, it's SKYRIM, everyone's favourite of Todd's magical creations.
You should follow my Twitch channel (link in desc.) because I'm going to be playing completely randomied New Vegas there this coming week, doors and everything, it's going to be horribly painful.
So anyway to answer the question that the title asks... Well... Sort of.
I'm not really enough of an expert at Skyrim to know for sure but it feels like there are just certain moments where you really can't avoid being technically 'detected' for a moment, even if you're sneaking and invisible, when certain NPC's activate it seems like they're programmed to start their existence with an innate knowledge of your location, also dragon hitboxes suck and know there's mods to tighten them up a bit but I wanted to keep this playthrough vanilla for the homies.
You clearly did so many things wrong
You could've leveled up illusion by the telekinesis exploit
You could've done the smithing alchemy enchanting exploit
@@MacronsKitten stop backseat gaming
What pizza was it
The big question is what topping was on the pizza?
Didn't You though about upgrading the physical stats of your weapon so it could deal more physical damage?
Stealth: I sleep
Undetected: I sleep
Undetected with no bows: Hey I am finally awake
Hey brit! I got a question, what does "bunda" mean
@@JohnTorres-mr4zg I'm British it is the same as butt

I like how 1/7th of this run was spent walking into a wall
IRL be like.
The Bethesda experience
@@HazzorPlaysGames If you want to know a way to make future stealth runs easier, the fastest way to level stealth in the bear room is to set the difficulty to legendary, push Hadvar into a corner/if your stealth is high enough you don't really need too, and then stealth attack him. Due to the fact he is unable to become hostile in the tutorial you can stab him in the back repeatedly until he almost dies and then wait until he heals again. This levels stealth to 100 in like 10-20 minutes and can even be used to level stealth later on if you are a conjunction user and you just raise undead and then stab them in the back. I actually might put this elsewhere because enough people don't know about it.
It *just works.*
That’s all Skyrim play throughs until you find enough ingredients for the fortify restoration glitch 😂
"And if you have eyes, Todd's found a way to put Skyrim in them."
Truer words have never been said.
"Which is weird, because i have no dragon altering mods."
The train horn killed me. Well done sir.
This video didn't even have anything it... didn't see anyone the whole run time. Just the wind.
Well, not quite the whole time. You can see the runner at the start, but then at some point while he’s running into the wall he just randomly disappears. Truly a fascinating strategy.
@@mr.cup6yearsago211 and then, after that people just started dying randomly

I don't know if I've said it before but I really like that little version of yourself that shows up once in a while to wave his little arms around and such.
The little character

His "Avatar" if you will.
@@kendallhudak Yeah I guess that's another name for that funky lil' guy.
The damage from enchantments don't actually get the sneak attack damage bonus, but the damage increase from improving your weapon through smithing does. I think you could've one-hit a lot more enemies by focusing on smithing instead of enchanting.
The Space Panda, where does that come from? why use that as a username? It's better than mine but how did you think of it?
@@viggofriberg Pandas are cute and space is pretty cool, I guess? Honestly I just wrote something random, I didn't put much thought into it.
Enchanting probably is better for DPS, but you can always do both. Fortify One-Handed x4 (boots, gloves, ring, necklace), a 15% increase each, that's usually better than smithing's ~20-30% damage increase.
@@magicball3201 Fortify One-Handed is actually bugged and doesn't work with daggers (even though the one-handed perk that increases damage DOES work with daggers). It's weird, but hey, it's Bethesda.
Also maxed out Smithing will easily double the weapons damage, maybe even more if combined with potions and enchanted jewelry that increases your Smithing skill, the 20-30% is only when your skill is low.
Reminds me of how crits do basically nothing
I think he is trying to beat skyrim without being detected

Finishing the Dawnguard questline is hardly a trivial task!
Every time I hear that Rimworld music, I get an urge to play RImworld again.
Amen, sister.
Can you play Rimworld without being detected by enemies?
Let's try!

@@sneezyfido That... sounds interesting, to be honest.
I've been (re)watching Ymfah lately so it's interesting to compare. There may be a lower level of challenge purity (like ignoring stealth in the tutorial) and insanity, but it's nice to have a more chill take on what could make for similar content.
Yeah I'm not really good enough at this kind of thing to do it in a totally 'pure' manner, it's more like a framework for a playthrough than a super strict challenge.
@@HazzorPlaysGames Completely fair. Wasn't so much a criticism just a wandering thought I had.
I enjoyed the video quite a bit.
@@LanceThumping Ymfah also has the benefit of leaning on his community, and an army of glitch hunters and speed runners to learn techniques from -- totally different vibe to just having a go at it yourself
@@tomc.5704 Absolutely, IIRC there has been at least one time where Ymfah personally put up a bounty for glitches to complete a challenge.
I don't expect many people to go that hard, nor should they.
"Sneaky clown gimps" is the best description of the Dark Brotherhood I have ever seen.
I actually did this with the Ordinator mod
Stealth dagger was so fun to play, stealing from the entire city, 1 shotting enemies
or attack enemies multiple times while hiding

"The room what has the thingie we're here looking for."
Excellent Englishing and descriptification!
For maybe 9 years, I haven't lost the game. Thanks. Thank you so much.
It's been 4 months. Hello, and remember that four months ago you lost the game.
Monthly reminder that you have indeed lost the game
every time i close my eyes i hear the "choo choo" of the dragon, i live in constant fear of his round face
If you want to level one handed early, repeatedly back stabbing whoever you chose to follow in the start of helgen in the bear cave works very well. They can't die and wont turn hostile, so you can just keep stabbing them.
It levels your sneak too.
you can also just stab hadvar in the first room since he wont move on until you open the chest, and there are swords sitting on weapon racks to use
Gotta say, wasn't expecting the Stronghold soundtrack to start playing, but it was a welcome surprise
All paths lead to stealth archer.....but this time we finally managed to surpass stealth archer and go even further beyond
All paths that do not explicitly disallow either Stealth or Archery lead to stealth archer, at least when taken at above adept difficulty.
This is, in turn, why I prefer Adapt difficulty. Enough challenge to remain fun, while still allowing most playstyles to be viable.
My internet decided to be a Bethesda game and die right at the 3pm mark, which means that it automatically wants my resolution setting in UA-cam to be 144p. If I would play it would be worse. So it will be an hour at least when I finish this video

8:23 - Quiet casting. Fury one of them. Wait for one of the bandits to kill the other. Stealth kill the winner.
Stealth mage is REALLY fun. I sometimes wonder if Todd's favorite skill isn't sneaking, considering the most used builds (mainly stealth archer) use stealth.
It's the only build that can consistently take down hordes of enemies with little difficulty.
If Light Armor had a dodge ability, or Heavy armor had a damage nullification, then maybe there could be some parity.
0:44 I just farted when you said that and didn’t hear the first part so I was extremely confused
Nah bro he heard you
Skyrim with the Rimworld soundtrack is surreal. I keep expecting Hazzor to knock people unconscious and to then drag them to his lair to harvest organs.
Honestly, as soon as I noticed it I immediately went to the comments.
i love how every skyrim play through has at least one moment in it where the game crashes
There’s a much quicker way to max out sneak, and you can do it before leaving the starting room.
Enter the Helgen dungeon with Rolaf, kill the imperials, and take they key that one of them holds before Rolaf can get it.
Set up done.
Seriously, that’s it. Go try it, you’ll wait longer for the intro than you will to hit level 10
As long as he doesn’t get the key he will stand there waiting for you, and never become hostile. The first 2-3 sneak attacks against him can be pretty hard to nail, but if you put your first skill point in sneak it gets significantly easier
Works with 1 handed and destruction too, but takes forever.
Dude, I think your copy of Skyrim is glitched. Your character didn’t render at all, all of the NPCs just died out of nowhere
"This Skyrim playthrough so far has the same energy as an Old School Runescape Character"
As my gaze shifts to the bottom right of the screen where I'm idly clicking around Seers Village rooftops, enjoying some White Cheddar Cheez-Its.
I clicked on this video but I can't watch this video. I mean it's playing, but I can't see or hear Hazzor at all! At least I think it's a Hazzor video, but I can't seem to find any trace of him! Neither within the video or without!
PS.: In case it wasn't clear, this is a joke. There isn't actually a problem with the video!
The first comment I got like this alarmed me, and then I got it.
@@HazzorPlaysGames Haha :D!
Yeah I thought it would give you a hart-attack, so I added the other comment as fast as I could!
@@HazzorPlaysGames took me a second too XD
3:14 those who know
Grimble sounds like a demented Christmas character
"But with the power of invisibility...Grimble slips by like a silent fart." I wheezed xD
Great video dude. Very well made
I love when the game gives you the objective of "Find The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"
Good Lord, it has been a long time since I've actually laughed out loud at a video. I really enjoyed this, and im very glad I found this channel
God, the Dark Brotherhood Stickbug had me totally unprepared
0:56 use a bowl in the first room to walk through the wall next to the chest with the key in it. I believe if you just fall forwards you will end up at the end of the dungeon. Normally I don’t do this because there’s loot to be had but it would help with this run. Also worth noting if you don’t want to use that glitch you don’t have to kill those stormcloaks. You already have the key so you can go past.
A few other things of note, enchantment damage doesn’t get multiplied by stealth so with the insane multiplier with daggers even a small upgrade would be better than enchanting. Also, while it doesn’t really matter since stealth is powerful enough as is, vampirism gives a bonus to stealth and illusion, and the vampire side quests can give an insane ring called “ring of the euradite” which upgrades your magica by 100, and also increases your base revenue from 3 per second to 5, which stacks with regular regen enchants. Although honestly it doesn’t matter because stealth is more than powerful enough that none of these things are very important.
To save time in the future, as you're escaping Helgen, by the bear you can crouch to sneak attach Ralof or Hadvar an infinite number of times. They will never die or attack you. This will allow you to level sneak and 1 handed at the same time, cutting your waiting in half.
"Sneaky gimp clown" sounds like a new character in S3 of Helluva Boss.
1:54 it's jover
I hate the fact that I literally started that before it became a thing except for mine was like jehovah's witnesses, it's so jover
You don't need to wait for the letter to sleep. You can sleep in any city that's not Riften or Windhelm immediately after killing Grelod and talking to Aventus.
At 1:07 you should have walked into the wall where that NPC was. You could have sneaked attacked him, while leveling sneak and one handed
Excellent video, brings me back to the good old mitten squad days
You can actually level up sneak a lot faster in the same starting cave. First, grab a steel or iron dagger in the keep. When Ralof/Hadvar says, "Go ahead, I'll follow your lead and watch your back," walk to the small waterfall behind you. Make Hadvar/Ralof look at the wall and not you. Then power attack him while sneaking with the dagger then just normally hit 2 times while also sneaking. Wait 7 seconds then attack 2 times. Repeat until it starts saying sneak attack for 3x damage. It should set it to where all attacks are sneak attacks only to him.

always exciting when hazzor posts tbh

@@HazzorPlaysGames YOU MUST PROVIDE ENGAGEMENT
YOUR COMMENT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED
I love stealthy orcs in Skyrim, it’s so silly to see a usually big angry green man sneaky around, especially with sneak 100, being the invisible green man.
14:40 STRONGHOLD OST DETECTED
❤
you don’t need to wait for the “we know” letter to trigger the astrid scene, you can just immediately sleep anywhere that’s not in windhelm as soon as the kid gives you the fancy plate
I knew we would be very well acquainted with that one wall, it wouldn't be stealth without it.
The bear: "Oh boy! Time for my 4 1/2 hours nap!"
I mean, they do hibernate for an entire fourth of the year, so it's not that strange.
1) Switching to legendary difficulty, equipping 2 daggers and repeatedly doing LIGHT double attacks (tapping both mouse keys simultaneously) can bring your Sneak skill to 100 in around 5 minutes. Just make sure to not take any perks which upgrade your sneak attack multiplier during that.
2) You can go straight to Riften and kill Grelod without talking to the boy and taking the quest before that. That saves some time on traveling here and there and back.
3) There's enough jewelry in the houses of wealthy Whiterun citizens, so there was no practical need to level up pick-pocketing.
TIP: in that bear cave in Helen, turn your difficulty to legendary and bring hadvar or ralof back behind the entrance to that cave and have him face a wall, and constantly sneak attack his back with a dagger, levels your sneak in like 10-15min instead of just walking into a wall
You could potentially stealth the tutorial, if you side with ralof (maybe hadvar works too) you can get you hands free, and stealth melee hit him to level up sneak, i dont think he turns to see you. But yeah, level 100 sneak before looting gunjars corpse
You were detected by Ralof as soon as he said “hey you, you’re finally awake” you need to find an exploit to jump out of the cart and run away before he notices you woke up
Why passively sneak into the wall, when you can backstab Ralof/Hardvar at the same time and level your one-handed at the same time.
Oh, and you can pickpocket the guys in the dark brotherhood shack. They're blindfolded and bound, so they can't see you and won't attack.
Like Runescape he says.
Just a series of skill grinds he says.
Time for the ironman challenge.
Good Lord and Savior, he added some classic Stronghold music to this spectacle.
How delightful.
I am pleased to the utmost extend.
When you started on Dawnguard I expected you were going to join the vampires for the bonuses to sneak snd illusion
Same, that feels like that just makes sense.
Also, in the sleeping bear part you can level sneak a LOT faster by backstabbing your excential friendly npc, backstabs gives a LOT more xp than just walking around and the NPC won't die or attack you
bro u were detected like a million times wtf
To level up sneak, just crouch,put one point into sneak,use a dagger and just sneak attack the person you join forces with in Helgen. It’s faster,better,and you can level farm with it
Dog, I'm going to be honest with you @Hazzor, I bought Skyrim entirely because of your video. And I also used your video as a step-by-step tutorial, with certain tweaks here & there, such as investing in smithing instead of enchanting, going through the Dark Brotherhood questline for money instead of leveling my pickpocketing skill, as well as for the Cicero's clothes outfit for sneakiness instead of enchanting armor for it, etc. Also, did you know that instead of walking into a wall for 4 hours to get to sneak level 83, you could have just sneak attacked Hadvar for like 20-30 minutes, and gotten to level 100?
Lol, using the paid assassin group for money instead of just for gameplay value. Classic.
@@Kjf365 Hell yeah. What else are they good for? Stealth gameplay? That's ALL gameplay.
Better way to power grind sneak and one handed from experience: whoever is following you through the tutorial is immortal and un-aggroable, so in the segment where you sneak past the bear simply sneak and backstab them over and over. Sneak and one handed both level up faster depending how much sneak attack damage you do, so it's a good way to turn a 4-hour grind into a 15-30 minute one
Also if you're already using bugs and other exploits, you can trivialize this challenge by doing a positive fortify restoration feedbackloop and enchanting a ring to fortify sneak by 9999999% c:
as soon as i get into skyrim this mf makes a video on it, todd howard has blessed me
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm in your walls.
@@HazzorPlaysGamesnuh uh
2:43
"But she's not kind! She's terrible to all of u-
*Something has happened and your computer has to restart. :(*
"Very good. I wanted them to know"
That line goes unbelievably hard
My favorite part was when Grimble said "It's Grimbling time" and then grimbled all over the dragons
The thing you could also have done is use Hadward as a punching bag by taking 1 point into sneak then continously sneak attack him for massive amount of experience in sneak, but also a tiny bit in One-handed aswell.
Tips and tricks are always good to get, especially in this specific scenario. Other then that, i really enjoyed the video, and keep doing more of these
What is Skyrim without soft exploits?
Less interesting.
@@HazzorPlaysGames Very true. I doubt it'd even work, so that would be quite boring!
There's a very easy way for doing this: Stabing Ralof/Hadvar a billion times in Helgen. All you need to do is taking the key before them and than sneaking and hitting them, it's a bit weird, the game will always say you are stealth, but won't give the bonus damage 100% of the time, when will manage to do a backstab though, you gain xp, and quite a bit of xp, I think you can max sneak in less then 30 minutes, and in 1 hour or so you can also max one handed. After that, having 100 sneak and taking some perks, it's a pretty easy start.
25:26.....at which difficulty..¿?.-Ernie Moore Jr.
There actually is a way to do it stealthily.
Take the key from the captain before Ralof does and the iron dagger from one of the soldiers.
Ralof will now wait at the gate passively and still invincible, allowing you to backstab him. Once you level up you basically jump up a level per hit til you're in the 60's. Do that til you max out sneak and you've got a few levels for backstab and sneak bonuses and maxed out sneak
So, the answer is a 100% no?
I think an easier way to get near invisibility is to do the restoration fortify enchanting loop, you can make a peace of stealth armor that increases your stealth to infinite numbers, if I recall I think anything above 1000% would make you invisible when hidden, I can walk right up to an aggroed enemy and they can't find me at all
Tl;dw: no, you cannot. It's clear at 0:53.
clickbait ass title
In the tutorial, large portions can be completed without being seen by letting Hadvar fight the storm cloaks for you while you hide around a corner or up the stairs. He's really bad at it and you'll have to retreat every once and a while, but it's possible.
If you sneak attack ralof with a dagger, you get to SNEAK 100 in 5m, take a couple of hours to get 100 one-handed, tho
Tip for anyone who wants to attempt this: if you don’t want to walk into a wall for a few hours get hadvar or ralof in a corner of the bear cave sneak behind them and just stab them, (turn to max difficulty to stop them falling over to speed things up) they can’t get angry with you until you exit the cave and you also level up weapon skill
Thank you for playing the dawnguard questline for me, I now feel justified to always be a vampire
There is a faster way to level sneak in the bear cave! If you push Hadvar into a corner far enough away from the bear and turn the difficulty to legendary, you can continually get sneak attacks on him and he never turns against you. You can max sneak in like 5 minutes!
If you wanted to power level sneak in Helgen you could have also just repeatedly backstabbed Hadvar in the bear cave. He has a massive HP pool, regenerates constantly, and will never aggro on you while you're still in the tutorial. 50 sneak is a couple minutes of stabs at most.
10:22 Lydia has plot armor
I'm glad you clarified that the pizza was good. I was going to lose my mind if I didn't know that info
19:44 click it, you want to...
Great vid! Next time try sneak attacking with the dagger on Hadvar before you leave the cave. You can level up sneak to 100 in some 15-20 minutes while also getting your one handed skill up to around level 30. It’ll save you some time in future stealth runs. 😁
fun fact, you dont need to talk to aventus arentino to get the quest going, just kill grelod
You also don't need to wait for the courier with the note. You can just go to sleep and Astrid will immediately get you.
this came up randomly. i enjoyed this and i do like the image of an orc being stealthy since it is funny even tho there are better races that are better for this. u get a sub
Amazing video with Rimworld music, epic combo !
“Shredded Celebrimbor” definitely earned a sub outta me lmfao @ 24:11
You know, this sounds like a fun idea. Im going to try it later. Also, for the starting bit you can skip past all the soldiers by going through the wall making the spiders the only enemies that are able to spot you.
Pikmin!!
Some say that Hazzor is still unconsciously moving his toe up and down, trying to level his illusion.
