Welcome back to skyrim! Where today we set out on an impossible challenge! Can you beat the survive 100 days in skyrim hardcore challenge? The rules are simple, Legendary difficulty skyrim with survival mode but the added twist that you are not allowed to equip any Armor or weapons. This is the hardest possible challenge skyrim can offer. You are effectively playing at 1 hp and almost anything will kill you and fail the run. Ontop of that in survival mode you must eat and sleep similarly to an indie survival game. You must also balance temperatures which in the cold northern lands of skyrim is rather impossible.
So sit back and watch as the spiffing brit tests to see if Skyrim is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits or surviving 100 days of skyrim hardcore is a task that is simply too impossible for this pro exploiter!
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold and infinite money all in a fantastic montage. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

Asside from people making mods and videos for it. Skyrim got more popular when it became easier to share things on the internet etc. Also engaging a new generation new in games. Oblivion set up the foundations for the modding as several carry over.

Technically having a wood axe or pickaxe in your inventory without being equipped isn't using them as a weapon, and if you activate a wood pile or an ore vein, it will automatically use them as tools but you won't equip them as weapons or be using them as weapons ^_^

@Noir Lock only if you decided to progress far enough in the main story that dragons start spawning. If you got a horse, it's a quick and relatively safe trip back to whiterun. I do it on my survival argonian playthrough. Great place to make money and grow all your alchemy ingredients

This unironically looks like a fun way to play. I've played skyrim for like 3k hours and this genuinely took my interest in the game from negative 100 to fairly high

Berend Kunstman 11 meses atrás

3k hours? that's like 125 days, 125 days and nights of only skyrim. jesus, that's 1/3 of a year. considering a human gets to about 80 years old that means that you spend 1/240 of your life on nothing but skyrim. those are rookie numbers, pump m up.

Shawn Moore 2 meses atrás

@Jason Lambert Didnt one poison the other who killed them with an axe because they both thought the other was responsible for their sons disappearance

Zack Mês atrás

@Jason Lambert There are no skeevers on the farm, the farmer died cus he was poisoned by his wife, which lead him to kill her with an axe. Cus they both suspect each over the disappearance of their son who tragically died from wolves near the well just outside the farm. Whole part of the quest to get the farm is solving this mystery and bringing peace to the family.

Kyle Nicolas 11 meses atrás

Yeah this definitely needs another go. Would love to see it with the rules tweaked too so it changes up how you play through these first two weeks as well. Something like: you can use weapons, armor, and enchantments, but only what you personally craft. The living hell it'd be to try and brave dungeons to find loot you could use to break down and learn enchantments would be an interesting risk/reward decision.

De'Shawn Presley 11 meses atrás

You could change the rules to no magic or ranged fighting interactions. Like a Puritan warrior build. Honeslty, that would be much harder, while opening up the option of working your way up to better armor.

Leo Staley 2 dias atrás

Even change to "pickaxes, axes, and fishing rods don't count as weapons for the purposes of this run" would have made all the difference.

Brandon Albert 9 meses atrás

Definitely want to see more of this. The survival aspect makes it really entertaining.

jonymanay 9 meses atrás

I gave the challenge a go. I lasted 3 days and made it to lvl4. Some one hired 4 thugs to kill me. They chased me outside solitude. I ran to the guards hoping to be helped and got 1 shot as the guards did nothing.

Will Clinard 9 meses atrás

I don't know about legendary difficulty, but I have discovered that (especially early level, I like to kill Anise outside Riverwood) that a Fury spell taking effect on one of the hired thugs will make every npc in an area aggro on said person... Even their own teammates. Want help from guards? Fury spell the lot of hired thugs lol

lee (poetry) 7 meses atrás

Yeah, I have a mod that fixes guards not helping you when bounty hunters attack. Always seemed weird they wouldn't interfere. There's also another that makes it so hired thugs don't kill you, though they take the stolen items or whatever back.

Tammy Boy 9 meses atrás

If you want a free place to sleep, do Faendal’s friend mission in Riverwood. You can take the key to his house out of his inventory and use his bed and cooking facilities as often as you like. All you have to do is deliver a letter to another Riverwood resident.

Tammy Boy 9 meses atrás

Also, if you find a piece of firewood (I know you said you won’t make any under these restrictions, but you can find it now and then) you can sell it to the innkeeper in Whiterun, and she’ll let you sleep in her bed in one of the rooms above the kitchen.

M. Hankins 11 meses atrás

Wouldn't sleeping 100 days kill him because of survival mode?

Adele Furness 10 meses atrás

@M D I think they meant just returning to alvors house to sleep every night

Derek King 10 meses atrás

I don't understand you can just sleep the entire time. Hunger doesn't kill you in survival node. How is this a challenge?

James Dixon 2 meses atrás

@Derek King It can be a challenge if you say, "Let's see how much I can level up and progress through different questlines in 100 days," so you aren't measuring success solely on whether or not you're alive by the end of the set timeframe 👍

Seeing him die to his own hubris in forgetting this simple lesson is something I found very funny. If only he'd taken the time to realize he wasn't capable of fighting the enemies and that he just should have ran away. Even had he won, it's likely he'd of just died to something the same way a little later without remembering this simple rule: 'If we don't die we can run away.'

Brennon Radschlag 6 meses atrás

I love the idea of the feeble traveling merchant, but I feel like you could make it a little easier on yourself. Legendary is hard enough already without making it so you're essentially helpless in combat. Since it's a no exploits run, I'd go for at least being able to use any clothing as long as it doesn't actually give armor, and possibly limiting weapons to just daggers or maybe anything under 10 base damage or something like that. Either way I think it would be interesting to start with a lower difficulty challenge and do a series of you just making it harder and harder.

DexStarr 9 meses atrás

Never in my life did i think i would hear someone say “im not equipped to fight a skeleton” in reference to an elder scrolls game.

The problem I’ve found with survival mode is that food is ridiculously cheap, like something that restores ~300 hunger is 1-5 gold, it’s amazing.

Atleast it's realistic, in most survival games you're like eating constantly. While you do get hungery while surviving you usually aren't eating 20 steaks per day.

In the beginning of your journey you should of gotten Faendal from Riverwood as your companion. All you had to do to get him was his simple quest and you would have gotten a decent companion for free.

The plantation is the best home because it's free, gives you crops like wheat, and with a steward or significant other taking care of it gives you profit (amount pending on how long you're away). Also comes with a horse once the stable is built. Definitely enjoyed this nonetheless and would love to see another attempt

Sean Zlatnik 11 meses atrás

This was really cool. I've never played Skyrim, but watching you play this game like this vaguely reminded me of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (it also has permadeath and is also very difficult, although the resemblance largely ends there). It was fun! I hope you keep trying until you succeed. I'm aware that if you ever succeed it will probably be... a three hour video, but I'd watch it in its entirety. It was cool. 😊

You should have used garlic, Nordic barnacle, and salmon roe to make waterbreathing potions that sell for bank, and scaly pholiota, dragons tongue, and fly amanita. There's also several other combination of ingredients that make high value potions. They're only good for selling though.

Bro I just recently got into Skyrim because of my wife (ironically enough I chose Skyrim having never played it before as HER introduction to gaming) and play it on Switch.

In the future, just talk to Faendal in Riverwood if you want a companion. He's a wood elf that's usually over by the lumber area. He basically just asks you to deliver a letter to a girl and tell her that it's from a different guy. It's a very easy quest (all in Riverwood), and it doesn't require anything on your end aside from the ability to walk end enter buildings. Faendal is an archer by default, but you can give him other stuff to fight with instead. Sven (alternative for the quest) is a bard that runs away if his hp gets too low, so I always go Faendal. You also get early money and access to your follower's house in Riverwood.

When you began in riverwood, you can make a fair chunk of change by completing Camila’s love life side quest, which is 2 social interactions and no combat whatsoever! You also get a free follower of either Sven or Faendal so you don’t waste 500 gold on janassa. In Whiterun, you get 500 gold just for asking Mikael to leave Carlotta Valentina alone. (Can you tell I like getting involved in side characters love lives?) 200 gold for delivering a sword from Adrienne the blacksmith to her father in Dragonsreach, and of course a bit of gold in asking any blacksmith for an introductory course and then selling all of their materials back to them. Another favorite hack is to improve any weapons and armor you find and sell them at a markup. This was so fun to watch! Thanks for the best entertainment as always Spiff

Reminds me of my monk run - basically unarmed + Alteration adding def, was kinda easy after a while because khajit had unarmed dmg boost and a decent flesh spell meant i had better than like level 10 ish atk/def, but i wasn't leveling up much at all thanks to basically only leveling alteration.

@The Spiffing Brit No you are. And if you do Skyrim more, it could be interesting to use major in-depth overhaul mods (think requim) and try to do exploitation shenanigans in those.

Perhaps Jimmy the Lizard, Argonian Blacksmith could succeed where Legless failed? Also, you can keep a pickaxe in your inventory and not have to wield it to get ore. If you can transport and sell weapons without breaking the challenge, you could carry one to mines without breaking it too. Same with a woodcutters axe.

This was engrossing. I agree with others that just watching you play the game normally trying to survive, getting attached to the character, being genuinely scared for his safety and sad at his loss...it really was amazingly wholesome and enjoyable. Would definitely like to see some more cracks at it.

Survival mode is so fun early game. Until you realize you can’t fast travel to High Hrothgar. I got all prepared to make my first journey up, had a follower, fur armor, well-rested… I was worried about the cold and the troll. Then a dragon attacked. I really want to play the main quest-line all the way through on survival, but that one experience had me SO frustrated.

Next time go all in with Conjuration and Illusion. If you play a Breton you get the familiar spell as a racial spell and on legendary difficulty the familiar can solo most leveled enemies. Illusion helps with in crowds since you're capped at only two summons with the lvl 100 twin souls perk. Bound weapons also could be used technically for this challenge. Summons are strongest on higher difficulties and it really let's you just set up some dudes and to run like hell until your team wins

Loving this, hope it becomes an entire Epic of Legless the Noodle Boi! Edit: commented to mention Goldenhill before he found it himself lol. Btw, if you have a potential Steward, Goldenhill Plantation provides passive income and excess ingredients from what you plant on the property, so it'll be a big help in the long-term, especially with your wheat deficiency.

This was legit. This is the hardest way to play Skyrim I've seen. TBH, the no-weapons/no-armour additions...I don't think they make it much harder! You did better than I would have! Absolutely give it another go!

I'd love to see some more videos like this. Like, try doing it in different builds. As a mage, then a thief, then a warrior, an assassin, ect. With a new build each episode

You could have used the plantation to make gold. Just appoint your follower to be the Stewart of the farm. And ask them to hire farm hands, plant wheat and or what ever you'd like in the farm plots. Some iteams you plant offer more gold per day then others. Idk if doing the upgrades for the farm will impede on this type of challenge, being that you have to find a way to get clay and quarry stone for some of the crafting prerequisites. Also rip.

I've never seen Spiff actually play the game normally for this long. It's not long mind you. If Spiff doesn't exploit Skyrim then Todd will do it for you.

You have seen him play the game normaly when he was stacking potion and enchantment effects. Thats how the game is meant to be played,boosting your intelligence by a few thousand to make better potions to boost it further to make even better potions and enchantments. They made it quite clear that they expect it to be played that way with the wizard falling from the sky after boosting jump by 1000.

Thing is, this _still_ isn't normal. He's intentionally making it harder than it needs to be for a challenge.

I'd suggest getting Chillfurrow Farm...you can plant tons of your own ingredients there to either sell or use for potions and hire a steward for endless income. It also has a stable and horse option too for easier travel Another suggestion is to fish the old fashioned way with your bare hands...more food and ingredients for consumption or potion making Also, craft camping supplies for your journeys, have your companion carry them for you

If Spiff can pick up weapons but simply not EQUIP them, then he can still carry around a wood chopping axe and a pickaxe for wood and ore harvesting since you just press interact button and start harvesting. Edit: Also Spiff should of done the ez pz quest in Riverwood to get Faendal as follower, as well as looting all the barrels in Whiterun for supplies.
