The elder scrolls 5 secret locations. Fun features and fun ways to have fun in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

One of my favorite locations in Skyrim, I advise you to download the mod for changing the weather at any time and put it there sovngarde weather.
The valley can only be accessed through the "Touching the Sky" quest. After its completion, you can return there at any time.

Black limit

The Black Reach is a huge cave in which the Dwemer built their main city in Skyrim - the Silent City. The Falmer attempted to capture him during the War of the Rock, but found that all the Dwemer had mysteriously disappeared ...

From the words of Septimius Segonia, it can be learned that the very first entrance to these caves was in the city of Alftand, and subsequently several more tunnels were conducted to other Dwemer cities.
One of the largest locations associated with the Dwemer, and indeed in the game. Access to the Black Reach will open only from the moment the quest "Beyond the Ordinary" begins, since a tuning sphere is required to enter. You can get there by going through the Dwemer ruins and using the attunement sphere on the Dwemer device. There are three routes:

through Mzinchaleft;
through Alftand;
through Raldbthar.
There are slightly more exits to the surface. Several elevators will become available to the hero, which will help to significantly shorten the path.

The Landscapes of the Reach are unlike anything else. It's better to see it once than read it seven times.
The Black Reach is very densely populated. The main inhabitants of this place are Falmer. Judging by their concentration, they have something like a capital here. Only here you can see normal-looking, but obviously abnormal in essence Falmer minions who will furiously defend their masters. And, as always, their frequent companions live next to the Falmer - corus and frost spiders. Cubs of the hunter corus may meet (if the add-on “The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard ").

There are also other creatures who, apparently, somehow got here from the surface and decided to stay (or simply could not return) - a lonely giant wandering along the local roads, a Dwemer centurion who attacks, you just have to approach him, mother -smoke, which has made a lair for itself near the Smoking Tower, and an ancient dragon named Vulturjol, who will arrive, and will not just fly, but will also try to kill the hero if he uses the shout "Merciless Force" on the artificial sun hanging over the area of \u200b\u200bthe Quiet City ...
And finally, as elsewhere in the ruins of the Dwemer, many maintenance and defense mechanisms are still in operation and will defend the territory entrusted to them by long-gone creators.

In the Black Reach, there is the Laboratory of Cinderion, a legendary alchemist who has been known to many since Oblivion. Also, Black Reach is the only location in Skyrim where the scarlet roots of Nirn can be found, which are necessary for the quest "Return to the Roots".

Glade of ancestors

The Glade of the Ancestors is a large cave where many ancestor moths live, some of which can yield a rare alchemical ingredient - the wing of the ancestor moth. Initially guarded by Spriggans. It is the target location for the Invisible Visions quest, but in general it can be visited at any time and outside the quest.
The entrance will lead to a closed overgrown tunnel leading to the main landing. There are two paths: a straight line that leads to a dead end, and a detour to the left that goes behind stones, through a fallen tree and a short side tunnel that opens into the main cave. You can go inside the cave directly along the fallen tree. During the quest, the gates will close themselves as soon as Dragonborn enters the main cave, so that he does not leave prematurely.

If you stand with your back to the gate, you can see five Singing Trees from which bark can be harvested: one right to the left along the ridge, one in the middle where you can use the scraper, one near the east wall, one near the south wall, and one is hidden in the southwest corner behind stones.

This room is inhabited by several flocks of ancestral moths, but the wings can be collected only in one place - from a small flock in the northwestern part of the meadow, on a hill. A staircase leads down to a shrine in the center of the lake. There is also another staircase that leads along a small stream west of the clearing to a ledge where a leveled dagger and shield can be found. It is quite difficult to see them at night, in addition, if you walk up the stairs to the tallest trees in the clearing, you can find a large stone altar in front of the tree with a soul stone, a gem and a small amount of gold. In addition, the cave is the only place in Skyrim where the rare yellow mountain flower grows.

Subsequently, when visiting the cave, in the first hall the hero will be greeted by a warm company of vampires, if the protagonist is the Guardian of the Dawn, or a group of vampire hunters, if he is a vampire lord.

The province of Skyrim is a rather harsh, but at the same time incredibly beautiful land, attracting with the splendor of unspoiled nature. It has everything from dense forests and wide plains to rocky mountains and eternal glaciers. Original The elder Scrolls V: Skyrimwas not technically outstanding, in truth, but thanks to the talented art design, the fantasy world of the game was already truly beautiful back then.

And now, five years later Bethesda releases Special Edition - improved version with updated graphics. We could not miss this opportunity to return to this wonderful land and start exploring it anew. Skyrim has a lot of interesting and picturesque places, each of which is definitely worth seeing "live". Well, we will show you where to go first.

Screenshots from the PS4 version of the game.

Ilinalta lake

The largest and most picturesque lake in Skyrim. The contemplation of the water, rocky mountains in the distance and green firs is downright pacifying, you want to forget about quests for a few minutes and just admire the local beauty. It is a pity that you cannot fish in the game, although you can install the appropriate mod if you wish.

Where is: the lake is located in the possession of Falkreath, west of the settlement of Riverwood. ...

Autumn forest

Skyrim has many beautiful forests, but few beats the beauty of a deciduous forest frozen in "eternal autumn." Getting here, it is as if you are in a fairy tale - a magical atmosphere is in the air, everything seems to be covered with warm yellow. While admiring nature, however, do not forget that there are many wolves in this area.

Where is: The forest is located on the Rift estate, south of Ivarstead settlement. ...

Stone arch

Indescribable beauty created by nature itself. The stone arch, formed from the rock, is striking in scale and creates a persistent feeling of something eternal and indestructible. It was on it that the impregnable and prosperous city of Solitude, the capital of Skyrim, was built at one time.

Where is: in the northwest of the province, surrounded by the peaks of the Haafingar Range. ...

Sea of \u200b\u200bGhosts

Cold and inhospitable, but at the same time inspiring some immense calmness and serenity. Here, among icebergs and floating ice floes, time seems to freeze. You can admire the frozen beauty almost without fear: among the local inhabitants, there are mostly walrus-like horkers. However, you can also run into a snow saber.

Where is: the sea washes the entire northern coast of Skyrim. ...

Mossy cave

Not all caves in Skyrim are gloomy and dark. For example, inside the Mossy Cave there is a green forest corner with a small waterfall. Sunlight enters here through a gap in the vault, giving the cave a special atmosphere. When arriving here for the first time, be prepared to meet bears and spriggans.

Where is: the cave is located in the Falkreath domain, west of Lake Ilinalta. ...

Throat of the World

The most high mountain not only in Skyrim, but throughout Tamriel. If there is a breathtaking view anywhere, it is only from its top. The way up is not so easy: you have to overcome the rise of 7 thousand steps. The reward for this will be the opportunity to cover the entire territory of the province!

Where is: in Whiterun County; the road leading to the summit begins at Ivarstead settlement. ...

College of Winterhold

The last stronghold of traditional magic in Skyrim. An imposing building perched on a free-standing rock of ice and stone. It is connected to the mainland by a stone bridge with destroyed pillars: it seems to float in the air and is kept on snot thanks to magic. A mesmerizing sight.

Where is: The College is located in Winterhold, just above the sea of \u200b\u200bghosts. ...

Black river

The river originates from Lake Geir and flows into the White River after several high waterfalls. The waterfalls, by the way, look luxurious, but the place at their top captures even more. Here the river rushes rapidly down, hitting the rocks and spreading spray. Green and yellow trees grow on both sides, creating a pleasant contrast with each other, while majestic mountains are visible in the background. A mesmerizing place.

Where is: owned by the Rift, washed by the settlement of Ivarstead. ...

To the south of the village of Roriksted you will find a rather large abode of the Outcasts, after getting even with the fanatics, you will see a waterfall, not simple, but golden. But, as they say, he who does not take risks does not drink champagne. Jumping from there will give you several skill points. Just don't try to repeat at home, the tricks are done by professionals.

Invisible chests

Invisible chests are a gift from the developers, the most attentive and curious players in Skyrim. Finding such chests is incredibly difficult, guess why? Yes - they are invisible. So be it, I will share one chest with you. It lies near the mine in Dawnstar, you will guess what it is about. Directly in front of the entrance to the mine, if you look to the left, you can see a spruce, backed by stones, there you should move your mouse in search of the cherished “chest” icon.

Frozen mammoth meat

The mammoth trunk in Skyrim is considered a delicacy, but the mammoths themselves are difficult to catch, because they are guarded by the animal welfare society, represented by the Giants. And if you walk from Dawnstar to Winterhold, you can find a frozen mammoth in the ice. A useless sight, but interesting.

Harmless old lady

If you climb through the forests of Riverwood, you can stumble upon an old woman's hut. There are a lot of them all over Skyrim, they go into the forest and become a hermit. Entering the “grandma's abode” at first it will seem that this is an ordinary hut, and there is nothing to catch here. But if you look closely, you can see a hatch in the floor, there are all the secrets. It turns out that the grandma is a warlock and wanted to found a school of dark magic. Unfortunately, when you get out of the basement, you will not do without victims.

Easter eggs for schoolchildren

At the top of the Throat of the World, after a good search, you can find an unusual serrated pickaxe (Easter egg for Minecraft), with ebony ore in addition. This is because the developers love Minecraft and decided to pay tribute.

Breaking the game

We need to get to Whiterun, go to the Heavenly Forge, and, with the help of the Swift Dash, fly to the roof of the Companions' house. After that, you need to climb the roof peak closest to the city wall, it's hard to do this, but you can. Using the scream again, we find ourselves outside Whiterun. Congratulations, we broke the game. The map will be completely empty: no npc and other things. Going to the left, you can find a hole in the map, after falling under Whiterun, you can see a chest under the Heavenly Forge, which belongs to Kodlak White Mane, that is, the blacksmith.

Do you think you've passed TES V: Skyrim far and wide, have seen everything that was possible and now the game can be thrown? Well, perhaps our small Top 10 most important things in "Skyrim" will stir you up for new feats? Looking for interesting easter eggs and secrets in Skyrim!

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Secrets & Easter Eggs

1. Blow up the Sun

If you purchased the Dawnguard expansion, then complete the "Touching the Sky" mission, which will give you the ancient artifact "Auriel's Arrow". Equipped with the Special Enhanced Elven Bow, this weapon can have a very dramatic effect. Below you can see how the sun explodes and the world plunges into darkness.

There are tons of mubcrabs all over Skyrim, however, as always, there is one special one. To the west of Whiterun and south of the Jikar monument, there is a small lake where you can find the body of one giant crab. Fortunately, he is already dead, because if you look at his claws, you will probably understand how much damage he could cause with his claws. If you take the quest "Kin and the Sacred Test", then you will be given the opportunity to kill the spirit of this monster of crustaceans.

3. Jump from a great height and stay alive

Fun things like jumping from the highest points found in Skyrim usually result in the last save being loaded. However, there is one place where you can jump and survive. You need to find a waterfall halfway between Markarth and Falkreath, and south of Rorikstead. After jumping off the waterfall, you can easily land in the pool below, and at the exit from the pool you will talk to the spirit of Azzadal, who will reward you with a new level!

4. Relax at the Hunter Spa

In the area southwest of Windhelm and east of Fort Amol, there are hot pools where three hunters undress and relax in the water. They are so relaxed that they can't even answer you if you want to steal their property. It is the ideal place where you can also relax and unwind.

5. Find the hidden treasure chest

In the game, we all found many caches of treasures, but there is one special cache that you cannot find just like that. In Downstar town, halfway between the factory and the village, look for a chest in the rocks. In the dark, it is reliably hidden from prying eyes, but you only need to move the mouse and you will probably notice it. In the cache, you'll find tons of different weapons, armor, potions, gems, gold, and more! Shalom!

6. Explore the remains of the shipwreck

There are many interesting places to visit in the lands of Tamriel, but we highly recommend finding hidden underwater areas. They should definitely be examined. You can find shipwrecks west of the college in Winterhold. To get to the site, you will need to jump on sea ice and swim a lot. If your character is Argonian, stock up on a breath potion underwater before diving down.

7. Find the fallen tree that forms the bridge

Stone bridges are fine, but if you need to cross the river southwest of Windhelm, there is a fallen tree next to Cradlecrush and Fort Amol, which is just right for the crossing. In the middle of the tree trunk, you will find several hunters resting there. They will immediately become hostile to you, but you can easily send them to the abyss with one FUS-RO-DAH. The tree also offers a magnificent view of the waterfall and its surroundings.

8. Find the remains of the frozen mammoth

The favorite companion of the giants, the Mammoth, is a formidable beast that is capable of killing unwary adventurers who come too close in no time. In "Skyrim" you can find one mammoth frozen into a block of ice! Located in the mountains between Downstar and Winterhold, these remains are in excellent condition!

9. Find a lady in the lake

Not far from the giant camp is the Bleakwind Basin, west of Whiterun and Dragonsreach. Right in the center, you can see a skeleton holding a sword. This is a clear reference to the stories about King Arthur and his sword "Excalibur".

10. How to fly a dragon in Skyrim

One day, traveling across Skyrim on a dragon may become a reality. At the moment there is a way in which you can get on the back of the dragon.

The Skyborn Altar, located southwest of the Morning Star Mountains, has a dragon's nest. With a high stealth point and a little luck, you'll sneak up to the top of a hill, from which you can jump right onto the dragon's back! Your glee will not last long, as he will quickly start eating your breakfast.
