Excellent! I'm usually a heavy armor dual-wield or board 'n sword type. I've never really given the sneaky arrow type a real chance. You might have convinced me to try again. Two things: 1) When you take Faendal as a companion, take his house key, and you can use the trunks in his house for safe storage. You basically can use his house for your own, until you decide to get your own house. 2) Go ahead with the main quest up to A Blade in the Dark. But don't follow Delphine to Kynsgrove, just leave the quest active. No more random dragon fights! You'll find dragons at word walls and a few other places, enough of them so you can collect a good number of dragon souls for shouts. But no dragons coming out of nowhere messing up quests and killing needed NPCs. Most of the vanilla game and all the DLC is still playable.
I used to hate people who played this particular type of build but after trying it out i can say that it is definitely a step or two up from skyrim’s shallow melee combat. its just fun to jump around and snipe people yk, if you cant beat em join em ig. pretty fun build tho
@@vermilion1803As someone who struggles with it often I completely agree. It’s satisfying and smooth like butter. It’s just a bit too unique for its own good😂
I tried doing this guide with a Khajiit and there is this glitch where you can equip the ancient shroud with any other helmet and the effects stack. From what I’ve read this is only the case for beast races like Khajiit and Argonian.
I removed the target crosshair or dot to make it look more immersive archer made me rough memorized shootings (waa rough yeah but fun) and play legendary+survival modes with some hunting+archer+better prices from animals etc. its fun, u should try that. thank u for sharing Archer video
i started to play this build but with a slight twist of being a vampire to make it even better as well with the vampire powers to make it even more deadly
Stealth archery is the easiest build in game basically you use fendal to get to level 50 in archery for free you just get nightingale armor and a bow easy charecter to make you turn in the key you get the nightingale invisibility spell also become a vampire you get that invisibility perk also right outside i believe of nightingale hall is another invisible thing.. nothing special about them they are the begginners chrecter.
at 9:34 you can actually get the elven bow a bit easier by taking faendals key from his inventory and going into his house theres a chest that holds 63 gold and an elven bow
I'm stuck at part "get kidnapped" i talked to a child, killed the Grelod, trained muffle, waited 24h, traveled to other cities just so i can get the note from the courier, but courier never appears :(
this has become a very fun build for me before i even take on the story quests one question i do have is what is that nightingale bow animation? looks wild vanilla or modded?
you can max out sneak in the first 20 minutes of gameplay, and become OP in archery in another 4 hours, which is significantly faster than just playing the game normally.
Interesting, I was wondering what effect that was as well. I haven’t gotten into mods yet. Playing through most everything my first time trying to keep it authentic for first time. But since I have come to love the stealth archer play style so much, I may use video to help me on a new game build
i mean no if you want to not do all the “bugs” to level it up then you don’t want to make a build you just gotta play the game and level it up normally then
Why the full set of nightingale armor though? Most of them don’t benefit bows, and barely benefit sneak, it would be better to use some of the ancient shrouded armor with a little bit of the nightingale, but fully crafted armor that’s enchanted would be way better, I’m mostly confused on the full nightingale set, unless I’m missing something?
The chest piece is actually pretty good. Cutting frost damage in half (which is normally impossible to get on chest armor) and some stamina. Though I agree that if you wanted to get the best possible gear without enchanting it yourself, there are better options. I'd personally go clean the standing stone next to the skaal village in solstheim and buy some gear from their blacksmith. He has a 50% chance to sell a random piece of stalhrim armor and this works even at level 1. If you attack him and quickload, you can farm any piece of stalhrim gear you want as long as you can afford to buy it. You can get a Stalhrim Helmet and Gauntlet of Extreme Archery from him. That's a total 70% bow damage buff at any level.
it depends on what difficulty you are playing. you dont need health if its easy you take health when enemies one shot you. and being stealth archer you dont need much health
Dawnguard standardly comes with almost every purchasable version of this game, even Legendary Edition. If you don't have it at this point, then maybe its time for an upgrade

Yeah:D I thought the same xd.@@progamer-ni1ks
thx
There is an old saying that goes 'Every skyrim build will end up with sneak archery' so why not become one right away
i think because skyrim combat is super clunky. or we all just wana be hawkeye.
And snicker when hitting enemies with arrows while they're completely clueless.
Most my builds only become sneak archer after I've killed alduin.
@@lyrianmaximus4561 why mods exist
Ehh stealth yea but I much rather sling fireballs , and Conjure some undead then use a wack bow .
This build has honestly been the most fun archer build I have done in a while, thanks for the vid mate

Never played skyrim before, was about to put it down as I got tired of being weak and dying all the time this guide is greatly appreciated
Thats where I am at right now. Not ready to give up but I am getting my ass kicked pretty regularly.
This game has the worst combat mechanic ever worst than The Witcher saga. The most overrated shit ever from betsheda fangirl.
@@arik2216 witcher combat is fun as hell wdym

I saved Anji for later where level ups required more experience. Good video, thanks.
I've always loved that line "It will kill us all then you'll believe me".
Should've waited til level 45+ before getting Karliah's Bow so you could get the strongest one possible
Doesn’t happen in Skyrim, look it up
Edit: Nvm, sorry for the trouble
Go to soltstheim have 3 or 4 wooden plates go get your Dwarven black bow of fate at level one just shout through the doors
What bow should we get before than?
@@sanjivinsmoke4913 download the mod get the dwarven fire rifle and predator bow with exploding ammo
If I went through the quest and delayed the blindsighted reward and instead get it at level 46, will I get the highest stats?
Remember that day when you picked up your first bow and started crouching?
That's how gods are home-made since then.
I tried doing this guide with a Khajiit and there is this glitch where you can equip the ancient shroud with any other helmet and the effects stack. From what I’ve read this is only the case for beast races like Khajiit and Argonian.
I use heavy armor with stealth so I kinda get away with falling 50ft out of the sky but I can see how useful the netch jelly would be
Ah yes, the classic stealth archer, the only build that you can achieve chim with
I removed the target crosshair or dot to make it look more immersive archer made me rough memorized shootings (waa rough yeah but fun) and play legendary+survival modes with some hunting+archer+better prices from animals etc. its fun, u should try that. thank u for sharing Archer video
i started to play this build but with a slight twist of being a vampire to make it even better as well with the vampire powers to make it even more deadly
how to level up fast? I can only raise 5 levels of archery per level with Faendal.
These graphics are amazing!!
You’re doing wonderful sweetheart thank you for the fun skyrim videos :)
I get dragonstone first with Faendal and have 50 archery when exit barrow then use Angi near lvl 90.
Welp it was going well till I had to cast muffle, i invested basically everything into health and stamina
Struggling right now
You don't need illusion. Just get the dB armor for muffled boots
Or make your own via the restoration loop
What mod are you using on the enemy health bar? Can't seem to find it on nexus.
That ennodius kill, Nice one my respects
but there’s a limit to training per level of 5
What mod is the health bar and the inventory rework?
I'm probably late, but the inventory is SkyUI and TrueHUD for the health bars.
Stealth archery is the easiest build in game basically you use fendal to get to level 50 in archery for free you just get nightingale armor and a bow easy charecter to make you turn in the key you get the nightingale invisibility spell also become a vampire you get that invisibility perk also right outside i believe of nightingale hall is another invisible thing.. nothing special about them they are the begginners chrecter.
ok cool user-buvuczduchxhxu
😐👍
at 9:34 you can actually get the elven bow a bit easier by taking faendals key from his inventory and going into his house theres a chest that holds 63 gold and an elven bow
That's random loot. It doesn't always spawn an elven bow
3:15 "It will kill us all and then you will believe me...in Sovngarde" 🤣
What mods do you use to change the appearance of races like elves, orcs, khijit, and ardonians?
Update: 1. Bow of Shadows. 2. Done.
Love this
There is another Archery Book in the Wreck of the Brinehammer
I'm stuck at part "get kidnapped" i talked to a child, killed the Grelod, trained muffle, waited 24h, traveled to other cities just so i can get the note from the courier, but courier never appears :(
try going to the town Rorikstead, he always appears there for me
@@GrayMischief worked, thank you !!!!
You don't even need the note, just sleep
I know this is a older video but can you level up your sneak the same way if i went with Ralof instead? Or does it have to be Hadver?
Whats the point of the Dark Brotherhood quests if you get Nightingale armour straight after?
Because Nightingale armour influence by player level, you Retard. The Higher level you get, better Nightingale armour you got.
Yes New vídeo !!
Helpful!
Is kaliahs bow the best one?
i see someone NOT on legendary those fire traps killin draugr WAY TOO FAST
this has become a very fun build for me before i even take on the story quests
one question i do have is what is that nightingale bow animation? looks wild
vanilla or modded?
It's Karliah's bow, I believe. The animation is a mod that makes the target fall apart upon death if frozen.
really nice...
I got to the last Angi challenge and accidentally shot her with my arrow and my companion killed her -_-
🥷🥷🥷 Nice build & quality vid. Your game looks brilliant & nice kills . Keep them coming & thanks 👍👍😁
Gets shot by arrow. Thought I heard something
I love how it says fast and gives you like 20 hours of gameplay to reach goal lol
you can max out sneak in the first 20 minutes of gameplay, and become OP in archery in another 4 hours, which is significantly faster than just playing the game normally.
@@GrayMischief i believe it I’m just messing around. I’ve actually followed this build to the T right now so thanks.
What mods are you using mate ?
What are your health magicka and stamina stats not including enchants obviously
But why join the dark brotherhood if you can get the nightingale armour anyways
Hey, i know this comm is a year later but what is the mod for the health bar?
What'd this trick called right here 0:20 I want to learn to do that
Can you please mention all the mods your using😊,, I really like my skyrim to look like yours.
just posted my mods in the pinned comment :)
@@GrayMischief OK ..thanks buddy
I'm a new skyrim player.
how do you get arrows that freeze and break the enemy?
is this a mod?
if so, what is the name of the mod?
Mod - "Maximum Carnage"
Interesting, I was wondering what effect that was as well. I haven’t gotten into mods yet. Playing through most everything my first time trying to keep it authentic for first time. But since I have come to love the stealth archer play style so much, I may use video to help me on a new game build
Is Krosis Mask better than Darkness Hood? its 20% and Hood is 35% bow damage
Which mod makes the brotherhood’s door so bright?
Did you forget the in soltine Fletcher shop??
I gave the money faendal for traning but after ı can`t get back my money. I looked faendal inventory but there is not any money.
make sure you have the "Unofficial Skyrim Patch" mod disabled when doing the gold training exploit
@@GrayMischief if i disable it, my game wont run anymore
What's your preferred difficulty level, I didn't see if you showed what level you did this walkthrough on?
I personally prefer expert but this video was on adept since it’s the default difficulty
how are u able to deal so much damage to the dragon at shearpoint
I wanna know the mod for the health indicator and if I can get that on ps4
I says it won’t let faendal trans me any more when I got to archery 30 but my lvl is the same as yours
Why isnt my sneak leveling up when i hit hadvar?
you need to be behind him and hitting with a dagger not an axe or sword
I have to be behind him
What difficulty are you playing on?? Lol
sneak wont even level after i get it to 22 but one handed still goes up
i had to put something to hold my w button down to walk against a wall all the way to 70 lmao. hitting wouldnt raise sneak
How you got the mask on the shrouded cawl ? i dont have it, is it a mod ?
There are to my Knowledge two Varients
No mod just base game, i think if u loot astrid u should get it, idk tho
What's your weather mod?
Can you do one for a mage?
what is the health bad mod called?
Skyhud
is there a video for no bugs abusing like sneak attack lvl up?
i mean no if you want to not do all the “bugs” to level it up then you don’t want to make a build you just gotta play the game and level it up normally then
How do you get the game to look like this?
Title should be changed to ”how to play skyrim”
Mods?
it's the pinned comment
Why the full set of nightingale armor though? Most of them don’t benefit bows, and barely benefit sneak, it would be better to use some of the ancient shrouded armor with a little bit of the nightingale, but fully crafted armor that’s enchanted would be way better, I’m mostly confused on the full nightingale set, unless I’m missing something?

What’s the mod which changes the life bars?
Why dont you stealth slash him till lvl 100?
See, it's not true that you end up a stealth archer. I was a stealth archer from the beginning, and then ended up being a mage.
Im nowhere near this level of power
What is your health, stamina magicka spread?
it depends on what difficulty you are playing.
you dont need health if its easy
you take health when enemies one shot you.
and being stealth archer you dont need much health
What difficulty?
how do i get hadvar stuck like that bruh
how you got a dot crosshair
What are uer mods?
"GeT awaE from me! :( Dahhhhhh!"
ik i'm late but can i do this on ps4? special edition?
Yeah, as they said in the intro it all works also i did it myself and it worked
I can't find arkngthamz, helpp
I think she is playing novice difficulty mode
Bro why didn't you say you need dawnguard for this run, wasted like 2 hours on this
Dawnguard standardly comes with almost every purchasable version of this game, even Legendary Edition. If you don't have it at this point, then maybe its time for an upgrade
@@GrayMischief just did! My bad for the attitude
I dont have any dlc is it still gonna work?using Skyrim special edition
@@onle1ne.two333 Skyrim special edition includes the three main DLCs so yea
Can you do this without mods? Im on ps3
cant get lvl 70 sneaking by slashing that dude
I just did it to level 100
Make sure you are slashing him in the back
With some mods you can make sneak Archer take skill
Bro make a mod list please bro
I'm probably gonna get burned alive, but I really hate stealth archer
So much blood....
How do u get kidnapped????
do the orphan quest, wait 24 hours, then get the letter, then sleep, and ull get kidnapped
Why lvl 70 sneak
To get the most important s eak skills like Silence, silent roll etc
Just console command it, and get it to lv. Max
My guide: step 1: equip bow. Step 2: press stealth key( "c" by default "). Done
Thats one goofy looking running animation.
