The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is full of weird and wacky events. Both planned and unplanned, events in Bethesda‘s worlds sometimes unfold in peculiar and unexpected ways. The laws of physics at times can unravel at the seams due to gaps in the code.
These occurrences can often be manipulated, or at least observed, by the player in some way, shape, or form. Sometimes for one’s benefit, other times for a laugh. That’s what video games are all about, after all. Finding more such novel and quirky choices can give any game significantly more replay value.
10 Rob People Blind
It likely comes as no surprise to anyone that NPCs see with their eyes. They use these programmed organs to interact with their environment and do things like stare at other NPCs gormlessly or to identify when someone is trying to steal their possessions. Both of these things, and more, can be accomplished by obstructing an NPC’s line of sight. Simply plop a bucket, basket, or similarly shaped container upon their head to steal as much as you desire. No sneak skill investment required.
9 Farm Infinite Arrows
As the Dragonborn travels, they’ll sometimes come across individuals practicing their archery skills. In order to save on game memory, and likely a few other reasons, the developers gave NPCs doing target practice a way to infinitely duplicate the arrows in their quiver. This, as one would expect, leads to an infinite amount of arrows being shot into targets, which can be picked up by the player. To make the best use of this knowledge, simply reverse-pickpocket a single higher-tier arrow, like the mighty daedric arrows, onto someone training with a bow for free arrows forever. Simply wait by the target and collect them as they come.
8 Breathe Underwater
Waterbreathing is an adept level Alteration spell players can cast on themselves to stay underwater longer. Though, Argonians have this as a Racial Ability. Meaning that they can automatically breathe underwater from the start of the game. This is an incredibly exploitable skill when near rivers, lakes, or coasts. Since most land enemies cannot swim or attack in water properly, one can implement hit-and-run tactics against stronger foes with near impunity. An ideal strategy if one is a low-level archer or magic-user.
7 Gallop Across Mountains
There are a lot of mountains in Skyrim, and sometimes it is a pain to go around them. Thankfully, horses don’t seem to be bothered by sheer, rocky, nearly vertical inclines. One would only expect such a feat from goats, but the mighty mares and stallions of the northern province appear to be the true masters of the mountains.
Just be careful about venturing too close to cliffs. That is, unless one has an immortal horse.
6 Instantly Kill Lesser Foes
Miraak’s robes grant the player multiple helpful effects. The first being the ability to absorb some Magicka from incoming dragon breath and spells. The other is that whenever a foe strikes the Dragonborn, there is a chance that an explosion of tentacles will erupt and outright kill lower-level enemies. A convenient trait for one with little time to waste on peons. Though, beyond these effects, these robes offer little protection compared to true armor.
5 Phaze Through Walls Without Using Console Commands
There is no potion for walking through walls, sadly. But there are hilarious and easy methods to pass through solid matter. The greatest technique for getting past a locked door or through a stubborn wall is to utilize a platter. An ordinary, everyday platter. If the Dragonborn is holding one in front of themselves and presses it, top-side-out, against most walls or locked doors, they can press their player model’s hitbox against it, which somehow forces the object through the wall. Though, since the player is holding the platter, they get taken through the wall or locked door as well.
4 Slay Dragons With A Single Punch
Dragons are some of the toughest enemies in the game and bare-fisted punching is one of the weakest kinds of attacks, but ending one of these thu’um throwing foes with a single hook or jab is very possible. This next trick just goes to show how broken of a game Skyrim truly is.
The Marked for Death shout allows the Dragonborn to decrease an enemy’s armor value. This can be stacked not only until an adversary’s armor value reaches zero, but beyond. This is due to armor values being able to go into the negatives, which makes enemies take more damage. If applied enough to a single target, they can become weak enough to one-shot with even the weakest of attacks.
3 Transform Anything Into Almost Anything Else
Thanks to the Wabbajack, the staff of the mad Daedric Prince Sheogorath, the player can unleash untold kinds of whimsically random effects. Sometimes, this staff will cast regular spells like Fireball, Thunderbolt, or Ice Spike, but its true power lies in its ability to transfigure any target. With no requirement criteria to meet before one can use it, this weapon is dangerously overpowered. With it, the player can turn mammoths into mudcrabs and giants into gold coins.
2 Duplicate Any Item
Due to how the game remembers where certain items are, one can use fast-travel, companion inventories, and doors to trick Skyrim‘s coding into making copies of any item. First, drop whatever needs to be duplicated on the ground. Next, tell one’s companion to pick up the item or items in question. Following this, enter and exit any building quickly before fast-traveling out, and then back into, the city. When one reappears to where the items were initially dropped, they will find them lying ready and waiting. In the Dragonborn’s companion’s inventory will also be the items, since they picked them up beforehand.
1 Soar Like A Dragon… By Using A Bucket
Buckets once more reveal themselves as the most overpowered item of all. Not only can they blind any man or mer to thievery, but can grant one the ability to reach the highest points of the northern province. This works on the same principle that allows one to pass through walls with a platter. Clanging one’s hitbox against certain objects can cause strange things to happen. Jumping upon a bucket while one is holding it will allow the player to elevate themselves in the air while simultaneously lifting up a ‘platform’ below them in the form of a bucket. The troll-science-like method can make it possible for the Dragonborn to ascend even High Hrothgar in a way unseen by any on Tamriel.
