Skyrim

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

This game is a sequal in a line of games called The Elder Scrolls. It is the fifth incursion of this popular RPG game.

It is a single player game for the PC, PS3 and XBOX. As it is a single player game there is no multiplayer aspects to the game and can't be played online.

The following page will provide you with help, hints, tips and more but may also contain spoilers to the game itself so continue to read under your own accord. If you read and find the game spoiled then it is your own fault for continuing to read.

For the use of this page i am currently using the DARK ELF character. Then on the 3 stones I use the stone to increase the mage abilities. i also use 100% speed increase in magika recovery body and 25% speed increase to magika recovery head items. I am also focusing on the mage and stealth parts of the persona.

Exploits (NOT known if working for all 3 ports of the game but do for PS3 and XBOX:

Steal from locked display cases-

Just stand in front of the case (maybe go into sneak so not seen) and look directly at the item you wish to take (crosshairs directly on the item). Then go into the MENU BUTTON (O on ps3 - B on xbox), the items map etc screen should now show up. Now press the cancel button again to leave the menu. BUT as you do this hit the INTERACT BUTTON (X on ps3 - A on xbox). IF done correctly you will take the item without having to pick the lock. If unsuccessful then try again. Maybe even keep pressing the INTERACT BUTTON repeatedly while exiting the MENU

Easy level up for SNEAK skill-

My best advice is to go to Dragons Reach in WhiteRun. As you enter the building look to the left, there are stone pillars there. Go left of those pillars into the corner of the room (do NOT go up the steps). There face the corner and enter SNEAK mode. You will now be in SNEAK and be facing the corner. Now walk into that corner constantly (as you are being in a corner you will stay in same spot and not wander off sideways). As long as you are in SNEAK not many NPCs should come by and find you but if they do just exit SNEAK and re-enter the mode again. If you want it continually just get a lump of bluetack or playdough and us it to push the walking stick up so you dont have to hold the stick up. You should now be walking constantly in SNEAK mode and should level up the skill. Remember that you will also LEVEL UP too after so many skill increases so make sure you spend the MAGIKA STAMINA HEALTH increases when you get them. However!!!! IF you do this to get to level 100 in this skill you may increase the levels of the NPC characters and may get owned by them so only do this gradually.

Easy level up for magic schools of DESTRUCTION and RESTORATION-

For this in my experience you are better off with the HEAL spell in both hands (the most basic heal spell). Next go to a roofless BLACKSMITH (Riften has one and I use it myself). Now go and jump up into the middle of the FIRE PIT there. You should now get damaged by the fire. BUT!!! It will not continually harm you. For this you must either walk to the wall of the pit and then back into the fire and get hurt and repeat this process.... OR you stand in the middle of the pit and JUMP (I use the jump technique myself as it is faster than walking back and forth into the fire...) this will make your health decrease each time you enter the fire. Once your health has dropped (DONT GO TOO FAR OR YOU WILL DIE!!!) you may stand still (the fire wont hurt you until you leave and return to the fire) and then use the HEAL spells in both hands. This should now recover your depleated health. Once your health is full repeat the previous step to reduce health and to recover.

NOTE - The reason for the level up of DESTRUCTION magic as the FIRE in the pit counts as FLAMES and will also increase your DESTRUCTION MAGIC as a result each time you either jump and land into the pit or walk into the pit.

Easy level up for RESTORATION magic-

For this you need to be able 2 access the HIGH Hrothgar area of the game. Here go to where you are tought the new skills. To the side of that area you will notice some stairs. These lead upto an archway that if you try to walk through you will get buffoted by snow which will reduce your STAMINA to 0 and damage your health.

Make sure you have HEAL equipped especially in both hands (more useful trust me). Now walk into that harsh snow and your health will start to reduce. NOW use the heal. If you have some leveled up RESTORATION your healing may use up less MAGICKA and heal you for more at a lower cost of the MAGIKA. IF your health goes too low and you dont heal up then just leave the snow by stepping back a few steps so you are out of harms way. Wait for your MAGICA and HEALTH to recover then step back into the snow. (DONT level up to 100 at the start of the game as for the reason stated in the SNEAK skill. NPCs are matched on your skills and you will get owned by them).

IF you have items that boost how fast your MAGIKA restores you may be able 2 stand in the storm and let it reduce your health while your magika recovers and then use the spell to heal your health and then wait for the magika to regenerate while in the storm (basically your magika regenerates much earlier than your health depleats). In my experience i can stand in the storm and use 1 hand for the spell and my health reduces only slightly but it does still reduce then i have to step back to recover the magika.

For my way i have the robe which increases the speed of magika recovery by 100% and a 25% recovery speedup head armour. This way i stand in the storm and wait for my health to drop down to 3/4 of its maximum. Once i am down to 3/4 i then dual cast HEAL and recover that 1/4 of the health that is depleated. Then when i am recovered in health i stop casting. This then allows my magika to recover but then at the same time my health gets damaged. When the magika is full my health is dropped to 3/4 of its maximum again and i dual cast the heal spell once again and i repeat this process.
