the guy that traps you in a cage i killed him by using the ritual stone to resurrect all of his experiments so they could all finally rest know that the have brought about the death of their own torturerer (i just pickpocketed his key and walked off while the test subjects hacked him with axes and beat him to death) cause im a true daedric prince of the unseen, the unknowing, the unowned, and the unheard.
oh my god i always love how poetic you are. makes me look forward to each video you make. thank you for inspiring me to write, you always brighten up my day xD
I was 7 when I bought skyrim, and the first necromancer i found was the one kidnapping women from dawnstar. Didn't play skyrim for years after that tramatic sight.
I remember fighting Potema for the first time. I ended up having to run away constantly. But then, Kharjo got stuck in a room with her. Then Kharjo killed her. He earned a sweet roll.
I had Kharjo has a follower in 2011, leveled him up completely and gave him a staff to raise the dead, while also duel wielding a staff to conjure familiars. Had him decked out in all enchanted ebony armor. I just started replaying and I ran into his caravan in Dawnstar. I knew how fucking hard it was to get him as a follower. Went through the quest, wiped out the bandits and retrieved the moon amulet. Now, the hard part, finding the bitch 😂😂 luckily for me, later that day I was looking for Alesan (I think that’s his name) and ran I to Kharjo and his caravan! No tents this time, just walking up to Dawnstar. I was so happy, I grabbed everything from my current follower and dismissed him. Picked up my khajit immediately.
The subjects of this video are absolutely terrifying! I bet if Scooby-Doo and the gang were spooked by one of these evil necromancers they would say... Oyfum.
Damn, I didn't know about #2. Anyway, your #1 is definitely on point. I remember first seeing loading tips about the Wolf Queen, then I found some books and read them, then I realized she may not be quite dead yet, and then I finally got the quest for her. She may not be as twisted and perverted as the other characters you mentioned, but she is definitely the most evil and deserves that #1 spot. Tip: if you're a fighter type, do Meridia's quest before going for the Wolf Queen. The sword helps a lot.
Personally I would have ranked Malkoran higher than Luah, though that may be just because of how many times I was killed by him the first time I played Skyrim. Despite playing as a Nord... on Novice difficulty. Freaking Ice Storm. But yeah, Potema deserves that number 1 spot. But Arondil is certainly the sickest and most depraved.
Me: “if I ever have to de-vampire my character, then I’ll feel bad sending someone to hell forever” Me: *watches this video to find people evil enough to use for that*
This is why Skyrim is better than Oblivion. The dungeons actually have a unique story to each of them rather than a copy and paste Aylied ruin. Of course not every dungeon in Oblivion was the same. But very little of them are unique. In Skyrim , Almost every dungeon has a unique twist to it.
Thomas Whitfield I think the main questline is definitely better in Oblivion but not much else. There was also some very well written side quests too like the one where you go in the painting or that guy's nightmares. Also I know they say "quality over quantity" but I feel like Skyrim had many more side quests so it allows for more adventure. I just think you can do so much more for a lot longer and that's what makes me play Skyrim more than Oblivion. Also, I did play Oblivion first.
Personally, I wish there were options to join Potema, Alduin, Miraak, and Harkon. Give evil characters some fun...then betray them and resurrect their corpses as slaves
I remember in this one dungeon there's a guy who hates necromancy because he wants his family and his ancestors to rest in peace, so at the final boss room (where you fight the necormancer) I just used the ritual stone to gather an army of draugr and he didn't even care lol
hey graenolf are iu planning on ever doing a skyrim playthrough would love to see you become a great barrel-- I mean warrior... heh heh yeah.. warrior.
I encountered sild the warlock on a companions quest, despite being a master level lock on the cage i got it first try and I was just dumbfounded, sild the fucboi needs better locks. 😂
Necromancy is the greatest way to play! Get Conjuration 100, then the Dead Thrall spell from Phinis Gestor at the Academy (the quest for which will also unlock the Atronach Forge) and revive those you have fallen without them turning into ashes after a few minutes. With Dead Thrall, your undead thralls live until they are struck down, but they also don't burn to ashes afterwards. In fact, I have Emperor Titus Mede II. as my constant dead follower. (Doesn't work if you behead him, though)
You should do a top 5 character concepts, i know you normally do things in the game, but it has to do with decision-making on the deepest level, where what you decide before you begin, decides everything.
When I fell into the trap and got locked in the cage, I used a conjuration spell on Sild’s Assistant because I wanted him to attack Sild. To my surprise when he got up he ran to unlock the door and set me free. Don’t know if it was due to some mod or if it’s game default, but I loved it
In the quest where there’s the trap in front of the treasure chest, I first didn’t realise it was a trap. But because I (literally) jumped on the chest, I went over the trap!! I don’t clearly remember but I think the chest was empty or did not offer a good reward enough so I was like: Hummmm... Yeah.... What next? Is the quest completed? What do I do? Then I noticed the trap on the floor and I thought: Oh, there it is! I guess I’m gonna have to fall in it and pretend I had not seen it... Then I fall and the guy tells me I’m stupid cause I fell in his trap. My reaction: 😑😤
I always made a point to hunt these guys down. You should do a list of the top five eager new heroes, like Erik the slayer or the guy from the dawnguard dlc
The entire time I’m just thinking “Well what’s wrong with necromancy, yeah most of these people are bad but it’s a rather useful school, with your own perfectly loyal army of killing machines”
I've been playing a lot of oblivion lately, and it would be amazing if you could start that game next! So many hilarious and weird things. Ex. The whodunit quest
In all technicality, necromancy isn't really bringing anyone back to life, but they are only animating the dead, still dead, just undead, BUT still dead.
Honestly the worst necromancer is the chicken necromancer. He's raising these totally savory and delicious snacks from the dead just to wander aimlessly rather than putting their delicious and nutritious meat to good use. It's a travesty! :p (In all honesty I hate the woman-killing, necrophiliac guy. He disgusts me.)
I have never fallen down the trap door in Rannveig's Fast without meaning to. First time I approached the Word Wall, it was after thoroughly exploring the room for any stray burial urns. (because if there's a septim, it has to be mine. Doesn't matter that i literally have more gold than I know what to do with. I need that 5 gold.) That meant I came at it, not from the front all nice and paved for me, but from the side. There's terrible loot in that chest. I got my word of power, I kept going. I don't remember if there's another way in for sure, but I'm pretty sure you can just go through the dungeon and find Sild the Warlock staring at the empty cage or at a work station. I know at a certain play through, I just cut the nonsense and dropped right in because it was faster.
One of my favourite moments in all of Skyrim was when Potema used the first word of Unrelenting Force on me (she's Dragonborn as well if I remember right). I was like "Lol bitch ur a noob" and used all three words. I sent her crashing straight back into her chair and she nearly did a flip.
I see this and I'm just thinking "that guy who was practising on chickens better be first"
his ability to remain undetected by guards deserves respect
Clarence Alger facts he's been there all that fucking time and no one knows or maybe no one cares?
Hey, don't reveal my secret necro spot! Those chickens had it coming.

I think the barrel full of cabbages in markarth is the most evil necromancer ever
Faith B No doubt about that
Tops all the weaklings he has on this list
I was afraid to put it on my list for fear of my own safety.
Graenolf Smart, you've eluded it so far
I think im on that barrels watch list, as I have ALMOST 1% of it's collection at 1,592 delicious cabbages.
Normally, I feel bad about using Black soul gems...
Normally.
I only use them on people who deserve it.
Shinigami Jack I only use peoples' souls if they are terrible people...
Or Nazeem.
I've been wiping out bandit camps so I always bring lots of them... If I could find and afford them...
Clarence Alger po opportunity to be a part of the team
I use black soul gems with impunity
The way graenolf explains necromancy makes me rethink investing all my points into the conjuration tree.
fuck that all parts of magic has to be used to be a great mage
Hahhaha... it´s brave warriors like you who get trapped in a soulgem the easiest, dear. ;)
swords are for the simple, spells are for the intelligent
Indo a Matsko and sneak is for Who has wares if you have coin
Sebastian Tabisz Do you not pay attention when you play the game lol ? Everybody always says it's bad and the necromancers are almost always evil

if, in the the elder scrolls 6, they don't have a barrel screaming OYFUM as an Easter egg, imma be real pissed
You better believe a formal letter will be written..
Graenolf they should stop the production of elder scrolls six and just add more barrels to skyrim
Great video!! Really enjoyed!!

Omg you're amazing Shirley

It's weird how long I've been playing Skyrim and I still haven't found a few of these.

You really did a good job on this video, and I like how you presented the "Honorable Mention"
Top 5 evil barrels
All barrels are evil. No one has time to look at them all.
you got me there
Username redacted A no barrels are evil
Great video. I always love the backstories for the necromancers.
Damn, I didn't know about #2. Anyway, your #1 is definitely on point.

First comment just realized!
Dogmaster123 Dogworld OH GOD NO
gh0strec0n141 Your right! I wonder how it could be evil? Maybe destroy the barrels.
man i love your video's. i watched ESO for ages but you just have that extra flair its fking brilliant!
1, 2, 3, 4, Graenolf is the funniest UA-camr, say no more! Oyfum...

Somebody please get this man an award. You could definitely become a writer or poet. Love listening to you
Personally I would have ranked Malkoran higher than Luah, though that may be just because of how many times I was killed by him the first time I played Skyrim. Despite playing as a Nord... on Novice difficulty. Freaking Ice Storm.
But yeah, Potema deserves that number 1 spot.
But Arondil is certainly the sickest and most depraved.
Dude, i just recently found your channel and i really enjoy your videos!

Manny Castillo I liked Oblivion whole theme but I completely agree.
Manny Castillo That's your opinion.
Manny Castillo to be fair they only had one guy work on all the dungeons
Clever Witty Username It's an opinion supported by straight FACTS bro
I have completed the main quest that Skyrim had to offer but I haven't done the Potema quest yet. Wow, I guess Skyrim never cease to surprise you.
almost all necromancers are evil my sweet innocent graenolf. love the musket mod btw
Graenolf you are a great youtuber and I love your videos keep up the good work
Personally, I wish there were options to join Potema, Alduin, Miraak, and Harkon. Give evil characters some fun...then betray them and resurrect their corpses as slaves
You can side with Miraak but yeah that would be amazing
I love being a necromancer. Hope there's a companion like that in the next game.
so poetic bravo graenolf
"The bottom needs to be cleaned out before that happens."
(aims at Sild's butt)
I remember in this one dungeon there's a guy who hates necromancy because he wants his family and his ancestors to rest in peace, so at the final boss room (where you fight the necormancer) I just used the ritual stone to gather an army of draugr and he didn't even care lol
I absolutely love your commentary
btw you don't have to pick the lock on Slid the Warlock's cage there's a satchel belonging to the assistant near the cage that has the key in it.
You are a poet. You know that? An absolute poet.
Potema won my heart when she said she would kill me and make me her servant. Oh is love. Unfortunately I had the same plans with her Draugr.
I've made it past 60 twice, but I hadn't heard of #2 before, gotta add it to my list!
hey graenolf are iu planning on ever doing a skyrim playthrough would love to see you become a great barrel-- I mean warrior... heh heh yeah.. warrior.
there is a threat above all mentioned in this video. always there in every necromancers lair, the true ruler of the dead...
BAAAAAREEEEELLLLLS!!!
oh how they sit in silence, watching. just watching.
they never even lifted a finger. They had the power to stop it, but they didn't, the monsters.

THE CHICKEN NECROMENCER should be in the list....no one defiles a chicken in skyrim and gets away with it :p
In the quest where there’s the trap in front of the treasure chest, I first didn’t realise it was a trap. But because I (literally) jumped on the chest, I went over the trap!!

Your videos are great. Thank you!
thank you for forging my hit list
Dear emperor would you look at the time? I think it's crusade'o clock to kill some necromancers.
Playing a Holy Warrior Character. These Evil Bastards will taste my Burning Greatsword.
How 'bout some GOOD necromages next time, eh?

Honestly the worst necromancer is the chicken necromancer. He's raising these totally savory and delicious snacks from the dead just to wander aimlessly rather than putting their delicious and nutritious meat to good use. It's a travesty! :p (In all honesty I hate the woman-killing, necrophiliac guy. He disgusts me.)
I have never fallen down the trap door in Rannveig's Fast without meaning to. First time I approached the Word Wall, it was after thoroughly exploring the room for any stray burial urns. (because if there's a septim, it has to be mine. Doesn't matter that i literally have more gold than I know what to do with. I need that 5 gold.) That meant I came at it, not from the front all nice and paved for me, but from the side. There's terrible loot in that chest. I got my word of power, I kept going. I don't remember if there's another way in for sure, but I'm pretty sure you can just go through the dungeon and find Sild the Warlock staring at the empty cage or at a work station. I know at a certain play through, I just cut the nonsense and dropped right in because it was faster.
One of my favourite moments in all of Skyrim was when Potema used the first word of Unrelenting Force on me (she's Dragonborn as well if I remember right). I was like "Lol bitch ur a noob" and used all three words. I sent her crashing straight back into her chair and she nearly did a flip.
Pretty sure one of my characters got to be the strongest.
Also azhidal had some hilarious stuff to say about necromancy
There used to be a glitch were if you pick up dawnbreaker before defeating malcaran, it will appear again after you kill him and get two dawn breakers
I thought Potema was a super cool addition to Skyrim. It would have been fun to have the chance to side with her and annihilate Tamriel.
Oyfum means
Oh
You

You forgot about the most powerful necromancer of all time...TestJeffBCarryWaterBucket
TESTJEFFBCARRYWATERBUCKET WILL BECOME A MEME!!!!
is that gun.. made out of the wood of a barrel!? by god you're invincible!
You, have, a great storytelling voice.
I like how calling them "evil necromancers" allows for good necromancers, or even neutral necromancers.
Graenolf: so you can use this to your advantage, sneak up on him an drive a dagger into his back".
Also Graenolf: *uses shotgun*
On number 4 when you fall into the cage look at the door then look left you’ll see a pouch open it then you get a key... no problem!
I have an idea! Top five most sacred chickens!
