They’re great for early game considering they have the same stats as daedric weapons. I usually play spellsword anyways so I’ll usually have good magicka
I'd definitely recommend playing on Adept or Expert difficulty in these kinds of challenge runs, otherwise they tend to devolve into "run away, let the npcs tank and/or spam healing"... Also, you can use Clear Skies to get rid of Alduin's meteors.
I never actually finished a playthrough of Skyrim as a mage I would start out as one but it will turn into a bound weapon warrior. Also if you can only use non-damaging stuff I suggest that the marked-for-death shot could be useful as it makes your armor class go down."
Bro I must say you have become the new Mitten Squad in my eyes. And that’s a huge compliment as his Skyrim runs are well known. I enjoy each run, the quick wit! You’re doing great fr! I literally binge your vids
I don’t think anyone will ever be the new Mitten Squad. Paul is in my opinion, the best challenge runner on UA-cam. His commentary and sense of humor is great. Still wishing him the best.
Watching someone else struggle with your preferred playstyle is a little surreal, also did you forget to grab ironflesh??? (I also like destruction magic on the side and stealth related illusion spells)
As someone who plays survival mode bound weapons are quite useful they have no weight the and are equivalent to dead deadric the trade off being they can't be enchanted or tempered the conjugation tree makes up for it with a damage buff and soul trap enchantment. Also in survival mode arrows have weight but bound arrows have none and there is a bound quiver spell
I found out that a mod that I have installed enhanced bound weapons to have shock damage that increases as you unlock novice-master conjuration perks. Im tempted to try this out as a run im currently doing I decided to try melee only with no ranged weapons or spells. Lets just say without this Id never have gotten through love these weapons.
A tip for you, being able to stagger your opponents is really important in legendary difficulty but since you are not allowed to bash with the shield since it would do damage i would recomend defending with just your weapon. (I once was able to defeat a dragon priest on legendary difficult while i was level 5 because i just kept stun locking him in a wall while drinking stamina potions till i killed him)
Great video! You should consider using shield bashes - while they might not always be the best option in fights on legendary, but they are a very fast to interrup or even stun enemies for a while. That could help you to run past some enemies during embassy mission easier.
@@SyncheYT Well, if it was a constraintm that makes sense. Weapon bashing is a thing too and I once tried to play as a master swordsman that doesn't use shields, but sword bashes are very unreliable at interrupting power attacks.
Damn. That Thalmor Embassy Montage x'DD I love the Song, as you can't go wrong with Initial D Eurodance xD And when you just got cornered into a Deadend whilst the song goes "... keep running to the point of no retuuurn..." I was laying on the floor, just couldn't stop laughing. :D Hilarious Montage.
Dude was turned into an atom shaped star 5:00😂😂😂😂 On legendary difficulty It's like dark souls in first person, how do you guys do it? I mean doesn't the encounters get super long and boring?
Curious. Are you playing SE/AE? Follow up, do you know about the unique items you can find from the fishing mechanic it comes with? I'm thinking the Ring of Phynester/Dengstar combined with the Lord/Atronach Stone would help a bit with mages and dragons. Not that I would know. Adept difficulty is more my speed.
Apart from the bound bow location i went into this completely blind😭 I did use some sort of perk inside the conjuration tree that makes bound weapons damage more tho
Part 2 adding "bound armor & shields"? (alteration flesh spells/wards)? You could do a new save, but if you still have this one, you could beat the DLCs. Clothes/jewelry/etc. with no armor value are fine. Rules: no major exploits; followers can't have weapons or armor in their inventory; no destruction magic.
Short answer: Yes, yes you can. Sure, they pale in comparison to smithed weapons, but Bound Bow still packs a punch (plus, enemies can't recycle the arrows), and the Oblivion Binding perk (Banish+Turn Undead) has no level cap.
Also, in my latest playthrough, my version of going to the Western Watchtower apparently involves building three houses, completing the Thieves Guild Questline and hunting Elder Scrolls for the Dawnguard. 40+ character levels later and STILL haven't slain Mirmulnir....
I use dagger bound and bow bound or mage grip/Vampiric grip for distance or cannot reach with Vampire assassin mage build nothing weapons but all spells bounds, grip etc pretty fun (Sanguine magi assassin 😃).
Yeah alot of ppl comment on my pronunciation especially with helgen and draugr, but since English isn't my first language i accidentally pronounce it wrong and its pretty funny😭😂
Am I the only person who fucking hates legendary difficulty? Like I mean HATE it? I cannot see the point in playing a relatively boring game made more frustrating for supposed fun. It just isn't. You either die a ridiculous amount or you play stealth archer. It fucking sucks ass. Like you do you and all, and I'm glad it's there for people who do like it. I just don't get it.
Very understandable opinion my friend since legendary can be an utterly horrible experience sometimes, but calling the whole of skyrim boring is very bold🤨
@@SyncheYT how do you even manage to mispronounce words that are said 50 times a minute in the first hour by various npcs 💀 Heljen instead Helgen, Draugg instead of DraugR. Otherwise keep it up!
I'm about to save everyone 32 minutes of they life. The answer is yes. You can beat Skyrim with bound weapons. Like why not make a video about wow bound weapons much cool no you have to spend like 32 minutes to answer some dumb question that everyone who did a mage build on skyrim knows the answer to. I'm not even trying to be mean but on the flipside, clickbaiting people is kinda mean too. Dunno what else to say. Sorry for the ''negative feedback'' or whatever. Good luck. How about ''I speedran Skyrim with bound weapons'' as a video / title? You wouldn't need to world record it or anything. I'd actually watch a 10 minute video or so of man going through the bosses (like a boss) using bound weapons n stuff. Or what about mods? Skyrim is a game i've beaten like 20x over already. I don't really bother with the Skyrim clickbait videos. Like omg mage can shoot fireball? Really?
Why you gotta be that negative dude, you're ruining the video and positivity, go say that somewhere else. Im trying to watch a good video and you're just hating on it, you're not saving anyones time, you're ruining it.
Tak!
Thank you so so much my man, this is extremely generous!❤️❤️
holy shit almost $100 usd, absolute W
Åh wow, det er meget
Bound bow is a solid choice for leveling too: you'll level archery, sneak, and conjuration simultanously.
Didnt even know that!
Bound weapons actually one of my favourite type of build
They’re great for early game considering they have the same stats as daedric weapons. I usually play spellsword anyways so I’ll usually have good magicka
agreed, big big fan of them myself
Same here also a big fan of bound weapons
Yeah, I enjoy being a spellsword and also not having my shit being stolen. I was surprised to see this displayed as a challenge run
@@xryeau_1760 wym being stolen
13:26 i love the subsequent chaos caused by those cultists. They know how to party.
13:50 Sven here providing the soundtrack
10:37 good choice of sound effects in this dragon segment 😂
Thank you my friend 😂
Bound weapons are so good, they helped me a lot when i was playing conjunction only
Especially bound bow, I don't gotta worry about arrows
If assassin build there's bound dagger u find in sothsteim
the thalmor embassy montage made me lose my shit
Haha happy to hear😭😂

No way you can just remove his meteors with clear skies, definitely have to try that next time
@SyncheYT it's true, same with Storm Call.
28:13 thank you so much for Crash Mutant Titans soundtrack cameo, that track fucking rocks
amazing and underrated video this was a great watch! you saying "heljen" made me cry ❤
First realised i said it wrong when sum npc pronounced it differently 😭

One of my que favourites characters in anime is Zelgadis Graywords from The Slayers, he uses the Rath Thilt a.k.a The bound arrow

This is what I have been doing on skyrim this entire time, just using bound weapons and light armor
I found out that a mod that I have installed enhanced bound weapons to have shock damage that increases as you unlock novice-master conjuration perks. Im tempted to try this out as a run im currently doing I decided to try melee only with no ranged weapons or spells. Lets just say without this Id never have gotten through love these weapons.
I ususally do bound bow for the entire playthrough lol
Nicely done, keep the community going! good sir

Great video! You should consider using shield bashes - while they might not always be the best option in fights on legendary, but they are a very fast to interrup or even stun enemies for a while. That could help you to run past some enemies during embassy mission easier.
I think they do a bit of damage tho, and since it isn't a bound shield of some sorts it would be against the challenge
@@SyncheYT Well, if it was a constraintm that makes sense. Weapon bashing is a thing too and I once tried to play as a master swordsman that doesn't use shields, but sword bashes are very unreliable at interrupting power attacks.
I only thought that worked with 2h weapons
@@SyncheYT 1h too, but if another hand is empty - yes, extremely uncomfortable when using magic and hotkeys, as there is no button for emptying a hand
Damn. That Thalmor Embassy Montage x'DD

Im playing AE, and no dont really know anything about fishing😭
You seem to out not too many perk points to conjuration... you should to improve your conjured weapons
Apart from the bound bow location i went into this completely blind😭 I did use some sort of perk inside the conjuration tree that makes bound weapons damage more tho

Double Wield Bound Sword + Flurry Perk + Elemental Fury Shout + veggie soup xd

bound bow strong asf.. how is this hard?
I havent really used bound weapons before, so this wasnt so much about it being hard, it was more about just creating a fun challenge
Short answer: Yes, yes you can. Sure, they pale in comparison to smithed weapons, but Bound Bow still packs a punch (plus, enemies can't recycle the arrows), and the Oblivion Binding perk (Banish+Turn Undead) has no level cap.

I wouldn’t have watched this but your pfp is a bear.
i wish there was a way to get the bound weapons as an item and not a summon, they all look so badass
Must be some mod out there that does that
Conjuration 100
very entertaining video 👍
Thank you my friend!!
This video is NOT dullsville
I use dagger bound and bow bound or mage grip/Vampiric grip for distance or cannot reach with Vampire assassin mage build nothing weapons but all spells bounds, grip etc pretty fun (Sanguine magi assassin 😃).
I made a pure mage build once, it still ended up being a stealth archer but I was still a mage
Can never go wrong with a stealth Archer build
Gz on reaching 1k subs 🎉 we donate $100 as promised. Well done!
Thank you so very much!❤️🔥
good video
Yes.
Nice.
What UI mod is that
I dont have any ui mod installed haha
This made me Want to Play skyrim
You definitely should
Love it
