We are starting a game that in itself is capable of becoming the first in any of its own genres. A game that is ready to surpass almost any competitor. A game that strikes our imagination for the umpteenth time with its scope. However, if you are playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, then you must have heard about its predecessors - Oblivion and Morrowind. However, even if you haven't heard it, you will soon be fully convinced that the game is epic. You will be involved in writing new history and become an integral part of it. What could be more worthy?..

According to a long and well-established tradition, you will not be able to start the game as a free citizen who is absolutely free in his decisions. You are…in custody, let's call it that. Therefore, you will have to act according to the situation. Together with the captive Jarl, the leader of the uprising, Ulfric Stormcloak, you are being taken to your execution. Yes exactly. Destined to die soon. On the way in the cart, you will listen to the conversation of the captive Nord and the thieves from Rorikstead. Given that you haven't created your character yet, listen to everything carefully. What Ralof says, and the way he says it, I really liked, because the scales of the beginning of the passage of Skyrim swung towards the Nords ... So much so that I even thought about creating a Nord for myself. But… More on that later.

In the meantime, you will just go ahead, watching the communication of Nord, who is absolutely calm before his death, and this very thief. However, we are not the first time just to observe. At the entrance to the village where your life should end, you will see a general communicating with a high elf (in this game, a high elf is a race, not a height). It seems a trifle, but in the future it will be very interesting development. And in general, do not let a single little thing pass you by, do not do anything that could damage your reputation, otherwise you can harm the passage of Skyrim. Remember - you live in this world, therefore do not spoil your house.

But now the festive carriage has arrived at its destination and the Imperials are calling you one by one. They call the name, send to the place of the future execution. As it happens in games The series Elder Scrolls, you will only now be able to create your character. And I advise you to stay longer on this page, because after the start of the game you will not be able to change anything. So we start.

Preferred race in the passage of Skyrim

First you have to decide on the race. We will dwell on each of them in more detail, so that you have an idea not only from what is described in the game, but also from the experience of the person playing. Let's start in order.

Argonian is an upright reptile. The main trump card of this race is resistance to poisons. Also, with long voyages, they can spend longer under water. Yes, they can heal quickly. True, this is where their advantages of passing Skyrim for this race end. I can only say that potions cope with resistance to poisons, magic and elixirs cope with treatment, and you can simply swim competently.

Breton- magician and anti-magician in one person. Magic will practically not work against you, and you can be very dangerous adversary any enemy. The unique feature of the race allows you to almost completely resist enemy magic in the passage of Skyrim. Ideal for a person who wants to move a lot and come up with sophisticated combinations of spells to win.

high elf- the most strong mages. If you are an experienced player and prefer to kill the enemy from a distance, using only the power of thought, this race is just made for you.

imperial- one of the most interesting races. Due to their innate abilities, Imperials make the best merchants. But they also have the ability to use magic and weapons, because you can not leave your goods defenseless. The racial ability will help calm the enemies, and then immediately deal with them. Mean but effective in the passage of Skyrim

Khajiit- upright cat-like. Like all felines, Khajiit have perfect flexibility and are very agile. It is from the Khajiit that the best thieves in the game will turn out. They are the ones that do the most damage in unarmed combat. They are the ones who see in the dark. In general, fans of thieving skills should choose a Khajiit.

Forest Elf- the best archer. The colossal damage that they will inflict with their arrows cannot be compared with any of the races. Although you can develop shooting to anyone, it will be most correct and appropriate for a wood elf. Yes, and he has a good tendency to steal. Of course, the wood elves are inferior to the Khajiit in the ability to steal, but this race is a very worthy choice. And the animals tamed by the forest elves can provide invaluable assistance in battle and even save lives in the passage of Skyri.

North- people of the north, who, in the light of their natural talent, perfectly resist the magic of cold. All spells from this branch will deal only a quarter of their damage. They specialize in axes, and with their war cries and fearlessness, they are ready to turn almost any enemy into flight.

Orc- the best blacksmiths who are able to repair any armor in the field. They carry exceptionally heavy armor and heavy weapons. If you're looking for agility, don't choose an orc. But if you are used to go ahead, then equip it to the maximum and you will not be equal on the battlefield. If the orc falls into a berserk state, not a single enemy will survive meeting with him in the vastness of Skyrim.

redguard- You won't find the best fighters in the empire. The feeling that they are born with weapons and even in the womb show their fighting qualities. Better physique makes them very tenacious, and poisons practically do not harm them. If you like diversity in weapons, then choose a redguard. His same battle fury will add to the weapon the unstoppable owner.

Dark Elf- the last of the races available to us. An interesting combination of magic and stealth. You can hit the enemy so that he does not even realize that he is dying. Dark elves have been immune to the fiery school of magic since ancient times, so in Skyrim they can be very appropriate, given who we have to fight. But we will not set you up in advance for something specific ...

So, the choice is made. It's time to start creating the appearance of the character and choosing a name. I’ll tell you a secret that I went through all the games in The Elder Scrolls series as a Redguard. Because Skyrim will not be an exception. By the way, pay special attention to the appearance of the character, as you will very often carry out final blows, which can be very beautiful. And the main character should always please you with his appearance. However, we continue...

When everything becomes clear in the lists of the Imperials, they will still decide to execute you so as not to mess around. After proceeding into the circle, you will listen to the general's speech, designed to denigrate Ulfric. But the speech will be interrupted by a strange noise, vaguely similar to the roar of an animal. However, this noise will not interrupt the ceremony of chopping off heads. The first execution will be done, you are next in line. The roar will repeat again, but you are already being brought to your knees, and the executioner raised the ax to strike. You're waiting for the last second of your life, but a strange noise finally appears above the tower at the start of Skyrim's playthrough. The dragon has come to burn down the village. Yes, they have not been heard about for many years, many considered them a fairy tale, but today the fairy tale has come to life, giving you hope, albeit illusory, for salvation.

To freedom!

So the first task in the game will begin, in which we just have to survive. And despite the fact that at first you just need to get to the fortress, following Ralof, then it will develop very rapidly. Ralof will offer to hide through the tower, but the dragon plans a little differently - the tower is broken, you cannot climb up in the passage of Skyrim. Ralof will advise you to jump on the roof of the tavern and run. Look at the top of the screen, there is a semblance of a mini-map. It is elementary to determine the direction along it, so you cannot get confused. Just run where you are directed. Now, unfortunately, there will be nothing to profit from. Jump from the attic to the ground and move in the indicated direction.

Now you will have the first choice - follow Ralof or follow Hadvar. In principle, the difference will be insignificant. You still have to follow Ralof, especially when you get outside. Only in this case, the imperial warriors will be hostile. Although it cannot be said that this is bad, since additional equipment during the passage of Skyrim will not interfere with us.

Enter the fortress. I chose Ralof because the Imperials are better equipped and will allow me to immediately dress my Redguard properly. You can choose the second way - the result will still be the same. In the fortress, we are waiting for a new stage of the task "Freedom!", which forces us to escape from Helgen. In the lobby, for the first time, you will learn how to search bodies and use equipment. Take everything from Gunyar and equip yourself. Now you have your first encounter with the Imperials. I will not describe how to kill them - just fight, there will be no problems. Search the bodies and get the key that we so lacked for freedom in the passage of Skyrim.

As you might guess, this is the same key that will open the doors and allow you to go further, following Ralof. You will have to move after him, but you may well periodically turn the wrong way, searching the rooms and getting additional loot. Go down the stairs, picking up the cabbage along the way, which you need in walkthrough Elder Scrolls V Skyrim to restore health and nutrition. The dragon will destroy the passage again, so you have to go even deeper underground to get out of the village.

There are a couple more Imperials waiting for you in the next room, which you will have to kill if you followed Ralof. You are in a pantry that needs to be searched for potions and other loot. Remember what the barrel looks like, which you can climb into, and get the potions out of it. Got it? You can go further, after taking all the meat and seasonings. What for? Everything is simple. You will prepare your own food from them during skyrim walkthrough, which has a beneficial effect on your character.

We move after Ralof. In the next room, where our stop will be, you have to break the cage lock. This is easy to do. The question is exclusively in the trembling of the master key. Rotate the lockpick with the mouse to the desired position and press the "A" button by default. Press and quickly release. If the pick is shaking, follow the same procedure after turning the pick. In general, this is how locks open. In the cage, remove from the body of the magician his clothes, which can be profitably sold or put on yourself. I advise you to hack all the cells, as this will give you a couple of hacking skill points.

Along the way, there will be two doors on the right and left in the next corridor - pick the locks on them too to increase the lockpicking skill in The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim. Ralof will meet with his friends who will help you in further battles before leaving the dungeon. This room should also be searched. Next you are waiting for the next Imperials, who need to be killed. And search, of course. Your companions will manage on their own, but it's better to kill everyone yourself, as this will give you additional experience points in handling the selected weapon.

Ralof will open the way, but immediately behind you the passage will fill up with stones. Therefore, you will again have to move only the two of you. Going down, Ralof will lead us straight. And you can turn left, where there is some more loot. When you collect - follow your companion. Carefully! In the next room, a crowd of spiders, interfering with our passage of Skyrim! As always - search them and keep moving.

After going to the next cave, immediately climb onto the ledge on the left - there is a health potion and a couple of things. Now deal with the bear. She is a dangerous enemy, but she is practically unable to kill. Another trainer to level up. All the dungeons are over. Run another couple of hundred meters and the task "Freedom!" will end!

Before the storm

So, do not forget that there is a small mistake, either translation, or developers. Ralof will tell you to split up, but at the same time he will urge you to follow him. Our goal is to get to Riverwood, where Gerdur, Ralof's sister, lives. She will help us a little. In principle, I advise you to get to Riverwood, collecting all the flowers and ingredients along the way, and then start acting on your own - either just traveling around the world, or completing all the tasks in a row. But first, let's go to Riverwood. You need to move along the road behind Ralof, periodically listening to his comments on our upcoming passage of Skyrim. In principle, on the way you will meet only one interesting thing - three stones that allow you to choose a specialization. The choice is given the skills of a warrior, thief or mage. The amount of experience gained from these directions will depend on what choice you make.

When you get to Riverwood, immediately turn left after Ralof, where you will have a conversation with Gerdur. She would send her son to guard the high road so the Imperials wouldn't get in unnoticed. You will hear a lot of interesting things from the conversation between Ralof and Gerdur, after which you should talk to Gerdur on your own, which you need to do regularly in the passage of Skyrim. She will ask you to go to the local Jarl, who lives in Whiterun, to inform him about the dragon attack. The task "Before the Storm" was continued. Now we can move directly to Whiterun, or we can do one interesting task, which you will receive in the trading shop.

Head to the Riverwood Merchant, where it's vital to sell out. It is from him that you can start the task "The Golden Claw". It should be noted that this task is a side one, therefore, in principle, it is not necessary to complete it. But I see no reason to refuse it, as well as from any task in the passage of Skyrim.

In addition, you can go to the northeastern house of Fendal. If you wait for the evening, then the owner of the house himself will come and can offer you a task. It consists in the following. Fendal and Sven fight for Camille's favor. And Fendal decided to forge a letter from Sven so that Camille would give up the very idea of ​​​​being with Sven. You can take the letter to Camille, or you can give it to Sven. In the second case, Sven will write his letter on behalf of Fendal, which can also be taken to Camilla. As a result, depending on your actions, Camille will prefer either Sven or Fendal. And the one who wins can become your assistant. Choose for yourself who you prefer - the archer Fendal or the bard Sven. Personally, I chose Fendal, as he is quite useful as a shooter in the passage of Skyrim.

Let me remind you that we have the task "Before the Storm". Considering further events, I advise you not to get the golden claw now, but to go to the Jarl of Whiterun. Go north, Whiterun is indicated on the map. I advise you to go clearly to the north, regardless of the difficulties with the road. This should be done in order to pass through the Pelagio farm south of Whiterun, where you can kill the giant and get a direction to the Companions in Arms Guild. However, you can still get there. But additional experience skyrim time passing will not interfere with us.

Approach the gates of Whiterun and talk to the guard. Say that you have important news and they will let you in for free. As soon as you enter the city, chat with blacksmith Adriana Avenici, who will teach you the basics of blacksmithing, armor making, and sharpening. Plus, she will ask you to take the sword to her father, who will present this sword to the eldest son of Jarl. Agree, of course.

If you enter Grizzly Mane's house, you can take the quest "Missing in Action", in which you need to find the missing member of the Grizzly Mane clan, Torald. Immediately talk to Avulstein, who will ask you to find evidence that Torald is alive in the house of the Sons of the Battle. The passage of Skyrim will take you there. Right there in the house, read the book "Lost Legends", which will give you the task "Forbidden Legend".

Enter the house of the Sons of Battle and go to the back closet on the first floor. There is a book on the table that needs to be picked up. It is better to do this when there is no one in the house, otherwise the book will have to be stolen. However, see for yourself, the passage of The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim gives you ample opportunities. This book will tell us about the fate of Thorald. Take her and go to the house of the Gray Mane to Avulstein. He tried to go and free his brother by force, but I decided that I would do everything myself. But we'll deal with that later. Now it's time to go to the Jarl on the quest "Before the Storm".

After the conversation, the Jarl will send troops to Riverwood and decide to give you another task. In order to understand its essence, you need to talk with the court sorcerer. He is in the next room, where you need to go after the Jarl. Farengar will send you to Windy Peak. If you remember, we had to go there on the assignment "Golden Claw". Well, agree and move forward, after asking Farengar.

Well, is it time to move to Windy Peak? Be careful, when you approach him, you will be met by three unfriendly bandits. Kill them, collect trophies and go inside. Inside there will be two more enemies and a closed chest containing some loot. Well, it's time for us to go down. I warn you right away - there will be a lot of cobwebs, so be careful, do not be afraid. Fortunately, there is only one way, you can't go wrong. After walking a little way, you will find several lockers. There is a cloth there, but you don't really need it. Behind the next turn, the next bandits are waiting for you, so you can immediately shoot them. Well, or kill in close combat.

In front of you will be a gate with three symbols above it. Rather, there are only two symbols, and a piece between them fell out and lies near the lever. The secret is to line up the same order of symbols on the left wall as above the gate. This is a snake, a snake and a fish. Otherwise, when using the lever, you will receive damage. Climb up the stairs - there you will find a hidden healing potion. Everything, now you can safely go to the opened gate. Three rats cannot be considered opponents. Collect loot from the niche and go down the spiral staircase.

The next room is completely covered in cobwebs. It should be said that the hint is very transparent. Oh well, we are no strangers to killing all sorts of dirty tricks. Especially since you will begin to hear a voice coming from the corridor. And this voice will tearfully beg for help. Get down a little lower and get ready - around the corner you will find a huge spider that will come down from the ceiling. It is better to shoot him with a bow, as he will not squeeze through the arch. But if you are a melee lover, then now is the time to show your prowess. After the death of the spider, you will see a man in the web, who begged for help. Free him after getting as much information about the claw as possible, and be prepared to kill him, because he won't just leave. In the next room, collect trophies and move forward. Considering that there were embalming tools here, the tasks "Golden Claw" and "Wind Peak" led us to a very interesting place.

Carefully, going downstairs, you will begin to encounter the mummified remains of people who are very aggressive. Now carefully - after three draugs on the floor there is a circle, stepping on which you activate the trap. It hits quite hard, but you can take advantage of this by circling the draugs. If only then the trap did not hit you. In the next room there will be a draug mage who fights quite painfully. But it shouldn't be a problem either. On the floor of the flight of stairs below, you will also meet three draugs. And another corridor with a trap. These swinging axes can be run through, they won't be able to kill you. The main thing is not to kill your companion.

And we're going down and down. I wonder where our search will take us? You are waiting for the next draugs who die from a couple of shots or blows, some loot and climb a little up. Then - a room with a waterfall and another draug. Immediately there is a chest in which the next share of the booty. We have only one way - along the movement of water. Pull the ring that will open the gate and move forward. The waterfall flows down, but we do not need to jump from a sharp cliff. Near the chest, turn right and go down below. We will have a choice - go down to the place where the waterfall falls, to the chest, or just go straight ahead. Of course, the first option is preferable, since it is more profitable.

It can be seen that the dungeons are man-made, but very neglected. Everywhere roots, landslides ... Yes, and decently monsters. Another enemy is waiting for us - a restless draug. More serious than ordinary draugs, but still just as weak. He guards the passage to the sanctuary, where we will go as soon as we open the chest to the right of the exit.

It will take a decent amount of time to get to the next corridor with traps, but you will not encounter anything interesting on the way. But after the traps, three draugs will be waiting for you - one right next to the entrance and two from above. Collect trophies and go up to the floor above. There, after passing through the bridge and opening the iron door, you will get to the door, which should also be opened using the correct sequence of images. If you take it from the bottom up, then there should be an Owl, a butterfly and a bear. Lined up? Move on. A large cave awaits you, at the end of which there is a strange plate with a strange image. Be sure to save before going there. And then boldly come close to it and use it - you will learn your first dragon cry. And it's great, but so far they will not be able to use it. Therefore, just turn around and kill the overlord dragug that has arisen behind your back. A very strong opponent, but after him there remains an interesting ax, a slab that needs to be taken to the jarl, and other loot. In short, you will need everything. Everyone, it's time to go. Climb up the stairs and use the pedestal at the top. Search the next chest and go to Skyrim. That's it, the tasks are finished and it's time for us to return to the jarl and to Riverwood to turn in the tasks.

For turning in the Golden Claw quest, you will receive 400 coins. And after going to the Dragon Limit to hand over the task to Farengar. He will send you to the Jarl for a reward and a new task. It turns out that a dragon was seen nearby. You will be sent along with Airileth on a dragon hunt. And they will give out a helmet as a reward for the last task, which I personally did not wear, but sent for sale. In addition, you will be allowed to buy houses in Whiterun.

dragon in the sky

So, things do not wait, and we urgently need to follow Airileth to confront the dragon. It's time to get out of the Dragon's Limit and go to the Watchtower. Sell ​​unwanted trophies and exit the city. We need to get to the Western Watchtower, where Airileth is already waiting for us. Upon arrival, you will not see anyone, but approaching the tower itself, you will hear a command to go to cover and not waste arrows. Well, great idea. However, it will not be possible to sit out for a long time - either shoot the dragon that has landed on the ground, or kill it in hand-to-hand combat. But be aware - it can be painful. And if you do not use additional means of protection, hand-to-hand poking around is scary.

Cheat codes

Skyrim is huge, and there are many things to do in it. Here and the fight against dragons, and the war for independence (or vice versa), and guilds that desperately need our help, and the abyss of side quests. In such a world, a detailed guide will not hurt. And he is in front of you.

Alduin rocks!	And here is Helgen. All of us have already gathered, only the dragon is missing.

Here we will lay out in parts all the most useful for the traveler - the passage of the main plot, and everything else. We will pay special attention to important non-obvious details and secrets that are easy to overlook and miss.

NOTE: part of the guide will be devoted to bugs encountered in tasks. We will tell you what difficulties may arise, how to avoid them, and, which is also very important, how to solve the problem if an evil bug still overtakes you.

Main plot

To freedom!

So, our hero was captured while crossing the border. We ran into an Imperial ambush, and now we're being taken to execution along with the rebels. On the cart next to us - the leader of the resistance Ulfrik, his ally Ralof and the horse thief Lokir who fell under the hot hand. After a long journey through the forest, the procession enters Helgen.

After the carts stop, and Lokir plays the role of the "third corpse from the left", we will have the opportunity to choose the race, appearance, gender and name of the hero.

ADVICE: If you don't want to wait for the ride cutscene every time you create your character, save right after you get off the cart.

And then the dragon Alduin will fly in and drive everyone out of the forest. Enjoy the spectacle. When the game returns control, slowly step into the tower. Everyone around will pretend to hurry and panic, but do not worry - even if you fall under a jet of flame, it will not cause much harm. Just do what Ralof says.

“Black Arrow, you never let me down! Hit it right!"	Which sword to use? And most importantly - who?

Climb the stairs of the tower, jump into the tavern and, under the guidance of Hadvar, slowly move through all of Helgen to the dungeons. Next, you will be offered a choice - go down to the dungeon with the Imperial Hadvar or with the rebel Ralof. This is not yet the choice of the side in the conflict, so there is not much difference.

ADVICE: however, if you plan to become a blacksmith, it is better to choose Hadvar. Escorting him to Riverwood will give you free access to blacksmithing supplies.

Now your hands are free and you are able to pick up things and help your companion in battle. Move through the dungeon, destroying enemies and collecting everything that is bad.

ADVICE: use the slightest opportunity to collect the initial set of armor and weapons. Decide what exactly you need - light armor or heavy. Search all bodies and chests. Don't rush - they won't start without you.

Together with a companion, you will pass through the barracks (or tower), a warehouse, an interrogation room where you can wield a master key, and get into a cave. There, soldiers, spiders and a bear will become enemies (you will be offered to quietly bypass it).

Here comes the end underground passage, and with it the quest.

Before the storm

And here's Whiterun best city Skyrim.

You can immediately go about your business, but it’s better not to leave your companion - go with him to Riverwood to meet new friends, the blacksmith Alvor or the mistress of the sawmill Gerdur. And do not forget to choose a suitable guardian stone along the way.

Now that we know about the return to the world of dragons, it would be good to go to Whiterun and tell the jarl there about it. Of course, there is no rush - it can be done even in a year.

ADVICE: even if you don't plan to go through the main story, it's still better to get to dragons and voice magic through it in order to be able to absorb souls, study screams and accumulate valuable materials for forging armor.

It is easy to complete the task - we cross the bridge, climb the road up the mountain and cross the hill. The city of Whiterun is already visible there. To enter, talk to the guards. The Jarl lives on the top of the hill, in the castle of Dragonsreach.

NOTE: along the way you will get acquainted with the Order of the Companions - the local equivalent of the guild of fighters. However, joining this order provides both some advantages and very serious disadvantages - namely, lycanthropy, which, due to bugs, is not completely cured. Therefore, before joining the Companions, make sure you understand the risk: you risk walking around with hairy ears for the rest of your days.

Talk to the housecarl, and then talk to Jarl Balgruuf the Elder himself.

windy peak

Bandit Arvel beat-beat the spider, did not finish it off. We'll have to finish off the creature with a slipper.

The jarl will direct the secret fire to the court magician named Farengar. The magician will ask you to find the Dragonstone tablet in the Windy Peak dungeon.

Windy Peak - these are the same stone structures that we saw on the way to Riverwood.

NOTE: If you have already cleared Windy Peak on the Riverwood Merchants quest and don't forget to take the Dragonstone there, you will be able to present it to Farengar on the spot.

get to windy peak the easiest is from Riverwood. We cross the bridge, go along the path, turn left to the lonely tower. From it - to the right and through the pass. The entrance to the dungeon is guarded by bandits.

Inside, your enemies will also be bandits. If you do not attack immediately, but eavesdrop on their conversation, you will learn about the dark elf Arvel, who fled into the depths of the dungeon.

In the puzzle room, before pulling the lever, deploy the pillars in a snake, snake, whale configuration.

After the fight with a flock of rats, get ready to repel the attack of a giant spider under the screams of that same Arvel, hanging in a cocoon in the web. You should not stand on ceremony with him - he is not going to keep his promise. Kill him or wait for him to ask for trouble himself. Take the golden claw from his cold corpse.

In the next rooms, you have to learn to recognize draugrs pretending to be dead in stone niches. The rule here is simple - if the draugr is in clothes (loincloth), then he is pretending. You can shoot him from afar. Here you will meet traps - a door with spikes and swinging blades.

ADVICE: if your companion keeps running into the same trap and can't get past it, just leave him behind and move forward. He will catch up.

In the large room, you can shoot down the lamps hanging over the pools of oil, arranging fire barriers and traps for the draugr. In the hall with a waterfall, open the grate and move downstream into the depths of the caves. To open the door with a secret, look closely at the Golden Claw and repeat the configuration of the pictograms - "bear, butterfly, owl."

Now you just have to defeat the draugr that has risen from the coffin and, approaching the wall with cuneiform writing, absorb the word of Power. The exit is on the left.

THIS IS A BUG: it is necessary to read the word of Power on the wall while standing. If the hero at this moment is in stealth, you may be overtaken by an evil bug that prevents you from taking the Dragonstone from the body of the draugr. If the bug still happened, try saving and reloading.

Return to Farengar and don't forget to bring the Golden Claw to the merchants. As a reward, the jarl will allow you to buy a house in the city for five thousand gold pieces. But not now, but only after the next quest is completed.

dragon in the sky

"Dovakin! Not!"

A guard runs into the room and says that a dragon has been seen near the city. Go to the jarl and discuss the problem - he will order to accompany the housecarl and soldiers to the watchtower in the role of "dragon expert" (after all, the hero has already met with one and survived - why not an expert?).

The path to the tower will be long, but effective - a fire-breathing dragon named Mirmulnir really showed up. Now your task is to stay alive. This fight is perhaps one of the most interesting, because Mirmulnir is really dangerous for an early-level hero. Mirmulnir "burns with fire", beats with his tail and bites. It is best to beat him from the side, and even better - from a distance, preparing to dive into the tower at any moment, escaping from the flames.

NOTE: nevertheless, in such battles it is better not to leave the dragons to the guards, but to inflict at least some damage - otherwise it may happen that the dragon will not share his soul

Before dying, the dragon will swear loudly: they say, did I really run into Dovakin. The hero will consume his soul. Use the shout, and the Huscarl will order you to return to Whiterun. Walk on foot to hear the distant cry of "Dovakin!" from a nearby mountain.

The jarl will tell you that the cry from the mountains is the call of the elders from the monastery of High Hrothgar. Time to visit the old people. If you wish, take Lydia with you - your new companion, your personal housecarl.

The path of the voice

And now the aksakal will teach us to run faster than a fallow deer.

Getting to High Hrothgar is not easy. It is better to get around the mountain from the north, passing by Honning's meadery and Valtheim tower. Follow the road without turning anywhere until you pass Amol Fort. Behind him is a bridge at a wide waterfall and a fork. On it, select the mountain path and turn right again at the next fork. Move along the path higher and higher. If you come across a cave with a troll, then you have almost reached your first stop - the village of Ivarstead.

At the bridge, take the quest to deliver provisions to High Hrothgar. Climb the famous Seven Thousand Steps Road. On it, the main danger will be an ice troll in the middle of the path. If you feel that the hero is too weak to fight with such a monster, just go around his cave.

ADVICE: you can also bring the troll with you to High Hrothgar - the elders will instantly scream him to death.

At the entrance to the monastery, throw off the provisions in the chest (then do not forget to return to the village for a reward). Inside you will be met by the elders. They will ask you to shout at them, and then they will teach you the second syllable of Unrelenting Force and the first syllable of Rush.

After the hero successfully slips through the rapidly opening and closing gates, you will be given new quest- Find the horn of Jurgen Windcaller. The horn lies in the tomb of Ustengrav.

NOTE: if you read all ten signs along the road on the way to Hrothgar, then wild animals will not attack you for a day.

Horn of Jurgen

The same cuneiform where we will learn the word "ghostly form." Pay attention to the waterfall on the left - there is a secret.

To find the horn of Jurgen, you need to go through the vast dungeon Ustengrav, which is near the city of Morthal. I advise you to take a companion with you to have more fun.

Dungeon - a mound, next to which is a bandit camp (most likely, when you arrive, bandits and magicians will fight there). To enter, you have to go down a spiral staircase. Inside are magicians, their zombies and draugrs.

Clear the first hall, turn left and move along the corridors. When you meet draugrs fighting necromancers, help those who are weaker, and finish off the survivors.

Clean out the rooms with large trash cans, and next great hall deal with the draugr crawling out of the sarcophagi. After that, the corridors will lead you to the Depths of Ustengrav.

To descend into the huge cave, you need to go through the dining hall. When you spot the lamps above the oil, get ready to use them to tame the new draugrs that emerge from their sleeping quarters. To look into the room with the pentagram of souls, activate two handles - one next to the bars, and the other - on the right on the wall, next to the sarcophagus.

You are now in a large cave. There are a lot of interesting things here:

• Below by the lake - the word of Strength: Incorporeality (do not miss the chest nearby).
• Behind the waterfall, right next to it, is a secret chest and a secret draugr guarding it.
• A secret area that can be accessed by dash-jumping between pillars above broken bridges.
• A fire trap, which is likely to fall on some kind of skeleton.
• A skeleton sitting on a throne pretending to be dead.

Behind the bridge is a puzzle. Three stones with motion sensors open three grates in one corridor. To get through the corridor, you need to stand at the stone closest to the bridge and with a two-syllable Dash dash through the bars, activating two other stones along the way.

The horn of Jurgen returned to its rightful place, and the hero received a free dragon soul as a reward.

Further we are waiting for fire traps and frosty spiders, including one giant. Then you need to crucify the web covering the road. And finally we get into the hall where the horn should be. But he is not there - instead of him a note. Someone unknown is waiting for the hero in the attic of the Sleeping Giant tavern in Riverwood. Which is strange, since this place doesn't have an attic.

The hero was saddened, but there was nothing to do. After coming to the surface, go to the tavern and ask the hostess named Delphine for a room in the attic - this will serve as a password for identification. After a serious conversation, the hero receives a horn and can now safely take it to High Hrothgar.

NOTE: if, after visiting the monastery, you return Jurgen's horn to the dungeon and put it on the same pedestal where you took the note, you will receive a free dragon soul.

It is not necessary to go to the monastery right away, first you can complete another story quest, “A Blade in the Darkness”. But it is still recommended to visit Hrothgar, because there they will not only recognize us as Dragonborn, but they will also give out the last syllable of Ruthless Force.

NOTE: now you can ask the elders where you can get more spell syllables - sometimes they will mark potentially “fishy” places on the map.

Blade in the dark

Another dragon has risen from the barrow. Now we will extract a skeleton from it.

Through complex mathematical calculations, Delfina found out where in Skyrim she would emerge from the grave new dragon. This is Keene Grove. Let's go there.

At the foot of the hill next to the inn "Wooden Lace" we will be met by a village woman. She is in a panic - a dragon has appeared on the hill. But this is not yet our dragon, but Alduin, who is engaged in his resurrection. In order not to jump on the rocks, use the path behind the stone, near the far corner of the tavern.

Shooting at Alduin is useless - he will finish his job. Dirty cursing the hero, the dragon will resurrect the dead fellow Saloknir, and he will fly away.

NOTE: now from time to time you will come across not just dragons, but Alduin, reviving dragons before our eyes.

The sooner you attack the resurrected dragon, the better - he will not have time to grow flesh and gain strength. But even the battle with the skeletal Saloknir will not be easy for a weak hero. He spits fire, and there is no tower nearby to hide. Not confident in your abilities - let the lady (Dolphin) go ahead. Unless, of course, they took her with them.

After the conversation, Delphine will suggest that the Aldmeri Dominion is involved in the resurrection of the dragons. To find out if this is so, you need to visit the Thalmor embassy.

Diplomatic immunity

What things to give the elf-"smuggler"? Yes, all at once!

Delphine sets the task: to get into the Thalmor embassy. First you need to meet with the Bosmer Malborn - our man (that is, an elf) embedded in the embassy. The occasion will be a gala reception hosted by Ambassador Elenwen.

Malborn is waiting for us at the Laughing Rat Inn in Solitude. He demands to give him everything that needs to be carried to the embassy.

NOTE: for camouflage at the embassy, ​​it's a good idea to stock up on hooded Thalmor robes. But these clothes will help only those who do not have tails, fangs or scales.

You can give Malborn in general the entire contents of the duffel bag, right down to the clothes. This is convenient, because then it will be possible to take everything on the spot, at the embassy. Delphine, whom we meet at the stables, next to the city gates, will provide us with new clothes and an invitation. There we get into the carriage and go to the embassy. We present the invitation to the guard.

Elenwen herself will meet us inside. Malborn is right there - he's a bartender. In order for the elf to lead us through the kitchen to the "regime" part of the embassy, ​​we need to distract the audience. There are several ways to do this, but the easiest way is to directly ask the Redguard Razelan to entertain the people. Give him a drink and when the show starts, go with Malborn to the kitchen. On the way, take your things from the chest.

Then there are two options - either break into Elenwen's private quarters with a saber drawn, or sneak in there. The second is more difficult. First you need to wait until the talking guards leave, then sneak behind the magician on the second floor. In the courtyard between the embassy and the solarium, guards are also on duty, but the most difficult thing is to lure aside from the wizard, who leaned his back against the desired door.

Elenwen's private quarters will make it easier to play hide-and-seek. Search the chest - it will reveal a report on dragons, a couple of dossiers and a key to the basement.

NOTE: in one of the bedrooms on the second floor stands "Unusual Stone". If you do not take it, you will not be able to complete the "thieves" quest to collect the stones of Barenziah (the game simply will not let you into the embassy a second time).

Now go down to the basement, where the Thalmor are torturing a prisoner - a thief named Etienne. Kill the executioners without delay while the prisoner is still alive.

Almost got out! The ice troll is knocked out - it remains only to take a step out of the cave into the fresh air.

As soon as you exchange a few words with Etienne, a second prisoner will appear in the basement - our old friend Malborn. His cover is blown, and a couple of Thalmor promise to kill Malborn if the hero doesn't show up. It is advisable to attack the Thalmor as quickly and energetically as possible so that Malborn survives and can join.

The key to the hatch is on one of the Thalmor. An ice troll hides in a small cave under the solarium. There are three of us, so the alignment seems to be in favor of the forces of good. But if you don’t feel like fighting, you can run away - and immediately go with a report to Riverwood.

Experience in Skyrim is divided into two types: this is the experience of the character and the experience of his skills.

Each time a player levels up, the player is given the opportunity to make a key choice of their abilities. This means that the player can choose whether to increase their health, magicka, or stamina; and also, regardless of the choice, the player will receive one skill point for each level, then to invest it in the abilities of some skill. With the growth of skills, the increase in the level of the character approaches. A higher skill level increases its effectiveness and makes it possible to get more interesting and useful abilities.

Getting levels

Leveling your character is the same as in Oblivion, only now instead of bonuses at 25, 50, 75 and 100 skill levels, perks have appeared. They are learned for skill points (1 point for each new level), but still require a certain level of skill.

Using any skill, you gain experience in this skill and, as a result, the level of the skill increases. You can also increase the level of skills from teachers or by reading skill books. Increasing the level of the skill you get experience leading to an increase in the level of the character. In addition, increasing the skill level is the only way to gain experience for the character. However, leveling low-level skills gives less experience than leveling high-level ones. The amount of experience required for a new level increases with the level of the character.

Max level

On the high levels, pumping is much slower, but up to about level 50 there are no special differences, this is due to the fact that enemies are limited to level 50. Max level in Skyrim it is 81 and it is possible to reach it by leveling all skills to 100. When this is done, the experience bar will freeze halfway to level 82, meaning that it is not necessary to bring absolutely all skills to 100 to reach level 81.

Skill leveling

Tips for efficient pumping For each specific skill, see the individual skill page.

Achievements

Achievements related to gaining levels:

• Apprentice - reach level 5
• Adept - Reach Level 10
• Expert - Reach Level 25
• Master - Reach Level 50

Patch 1.9

Possibility to choose legendary difficulty.

Legendary skills - skills pumped to level 100 can be made legendary. This will reset the skill level to 15 and restore all abilities, thus again allowing the skill to affect the growth of the overall character level. In fact, this innovation removes the limitation of pumping the general level.

No matter how trivial it is, but the whole plot is tied to prophecy. It so happened that the events preceding and occurring at the time of the appearance of the main character in the world Skyrim, almost completely coincide with this very prophecy. The latter says that the greatest of dragons will soon appear - Alduin, after which all those who were not lucky enough to be born a dragon will have to become dead, and in general, a pitch-black Armazdian will come.

Concerning events proving the entry into force of the prophecy, then this is nothing more than Civil War that began between the Empire and the Stormcloaks. So call themselves all driven Ulfric Stormcloak, who by the way killed the previous king of Skyrim - Toruga. After that, full-scale fighting between these two factions.

An introductory course on quests and working with the Skyrim magazine

In the fifth part of the scrolls, the mechanics of the journal and the passage of quests were slightly rendered, that is, they were made simpler and more understandable for more public. It has become quite easy to work with tasks that even a child can handle, with the exception, perhaps, of a couple of three quests. All you need is open magazine ("J" key default), then click on the right task and close this interface.

After these manipulations top of the screen, where the icons of cardinal points and nearest settlements including dungeons, you will see marker in the form of a triangle with a rhombus at the top. This is the direction in which you need to move in order to complete the selected quest. You will see the same marker when you open the map ( "M" key default). It is worth noting that when choosing in the journal multiple tasks, you will also get several markers, which is not so convenient in some cases.

Passage of quests

During passing main questline you will go from simple prisoner before savior of the world, destroy more than a dozen dragons, and also get one of them as a means of transportation. In general, a series of games The Elder Scrolls one gets the impression that in order to save the world, it is necessary to be a prisoner, but oh well.

Skyrim has difficulty level adjustment, which you can find in the game settings.

Quest "Freedom!" - Acquaintance with the harsh Skyrim

The action of the game starts in a wagon where you are with others prisoners Imperials. From the dialogue with fellow sufferers, you will learn that you are being taken straight on the chopping block. What, any control functions are not yet available, except for the rotation of the camera, so you have no choice but to look around and enjoy the beauties of the game.

After arriving at the place of execution, one of the Imperials will contact you, the dialogue with which will turn into character Creation. The editor presents quite a few options for choosing the appearance Main character(heroines), so you can hang out here for a long time. Having decided on the appearance of the savior of the world, you are invited to go straight to the chopping block, then all the attempts to create a character would crumble under the executioner’s ax, but by a funny coincidence, the Main character is saved from inevitable death by a suddenly appeared the Dragon.

So the timely arrived reptile begins destroy the village, after which, of course, it is no longer up to the execution of prisoners. Taking advantage of the turmoil, you need to leave this place that is not friendly to the Hero. There is nothing complicated here, for starters, just follow the character with marker overhead to the nearest tower. Continue up the stairs, and then jump over to the nearest building through the hole in the wall made by the dragon. At the exit from this building you will meet an already familiar Imperial soldier, you should not immediately run wherever your eyes look, wait out the dragon's attack and follow the imperial.

After a short flight from the dragon's attacks, you will have the choice to go to the tower for Hogwarts(Imperial soldier), or Ralof(Brother Storm).

• Followed the Stormcloak- In the tower, you will be attacked by Imperial soldiers, and after escaping, you will need to proceed to riverwood to Ralof's sister.
• Followed the Imperial Soldier- In the tower you will be attacked by the Stormcloaks, and after escaping you need to proceed to riverwood to the blacksmith Hadvart.

From the dungeons of the tower you will descend into cave, after wandering a little along which with your companion you will finally get to freedom. On this cheerful note this quest will end.

After you and your companion leave the cave, an entry will appear in the diary that will mark a new task entitled " Before the storm“. Its essence lies in delivering news of the dragon's attack to Jarl Whiterun.

Directly at the exit from the cave, Hogwart or Ralof, depending on who entered the fortress, will advise you to visit a village called riverwood. It is located in the northeast of your location. However, first you need to go to riverbank to the northwest and choose a sign for yourself - a thief, magician or warrior.

Windy peak you will find on southwest from whiterun, just follow the direction marker at the top of the screen.

To your dismay, Arngeir confesses to teaching you the necessary word of power they can not, the cry, by the way, has a sonorous name " dragon slayer". The fact is that in order to pronounce this tuum, you need to take into yourself all the anger that those who created it experienced back in the days of the persecution of the cult of dragons, therefore the Greybeards do not use it.

Ask Master Arngeir more about Dragonboy, and after a short explanation, he will advise you to contact Elder of the Order of the Greybeards- Paarthurnax.

Soon you will reach the temple, Arngeir will meet you inside. He will ask you to demonstrate the "Unrelenting Force" shout. After you confirm that you are Dovakin, he will begin to tell you about the screams and the power of the voice, after which he will ask Einart to teach you another word of power.

Horn of Jurgen

But below you will run into a passage that is closed by three sections of gratings, and in front of them are three magic stones, approaching which, one of the gratings rises, but as soon as you move away, the grate falls.

Your task is to prepare and activate the "Rapid Rush" shout in time, running at the last to the passage of the magic stone, activate the shout, and you will find yourself behind iron bars.

A hot welcome awaits you ahead: the slabs that you step on when touched release fiery jets. Ahead of you will also expect plates, as well as spiders, among them one is very large, and these same plates will help you deal with it.

Having reached the town, go into the tavern and ask Delphine, she will say that she does not have such a room and will offer another one. Entering the room she says, Delfina will follow you and say that she left you a note, and offer to follow her. She will take you to her secret room, located in the wardrobe, and tell you that she needs you.

Seeing this, Delphine will definitely believe you and tell you about her guesses, she believes that the Thalmor is to blame for everything, he avenges the defeat in the last war and wants to weaken the Empire with the help of dragons. But to be completely sure of this, she talks about her new plan: sneak into the Thalmor embassy.

Diplomatic immunity

In the tavern we find a nervous Malborn, to whom it will be possible to give all the necessary equipment, everything that you give him, he will carry into the ambassador's mansion. Having received an invitation, we leave the city and go to the stables, where Delphine is waiting for us, with clothes for the reception. She will also take all your equipment, she will hide it in her hideout. We climb on the wagon and go to the reception.

Take the brandy from Malborn or the serving maid. Approach the tipsy Razelan, he will not mind drinking, but in return ask him for a favor - to make a small commotion.

In this house, we will first need to delve into the documents in the room on the second floor, after which you will need a key that unlocks the door leading to the basement. The key can be taken from the chest.

Having opened the door with a key or master keys, we get into the basement, there you will see one guard and Rulindir, if you did not kill him earlier. Having dealt with the opponents, search the chest and save the prisoner - Etienne Rornis, he will tell you everything he knows.

As soon as you save Etienne, the guards will suddenly enter, which will bring Malborn for interrogation. After killing the guards, take the hatch key from them. The hatch leads to a cave where an ice troll lives, the easiest way to kill him is using fire.

From our trip to the embassy, ​​we learned that the Thalmor has nothing to do with dragons - they are also trying to figure out why the dragons suddenly began to come to life. And they have one lead - an old member of the Blades named Esbern, who is rumored to be hiding somewhere in Riften. With this information, we return to Delphine in Riverwood and get the next task - to find Esbern. Do not forget to take all your belongings from Delphine's chest.

Having entered the room into which she says, Delfina will follow you, and she will say that she left you a note, and will offer to follow her. She will take you to her secret room, located in the wardrobe, and tell you that she needs you.

Realizing that you are exactly who you need, she will tell you about the blades that have guarded the dragonborn for many centuries and tell her guess about the awakening of dragons. She will also give you Jurgen's horn. Having returned the horn to the Greybeards, you must go through the rite of greeting Dovahkiin. You will also be taught the third word of the Unrelenting Force shout.

Blade in darkness

Having given the horn to you, Delphine will say that the dragon should wake up now, you should follow to the Keen Grove.

Having reached the grove with Delphine or alone, you will see Alduin, he brings back to life a buried dragon named Saloknir. You have to fight with him, avoid his blows and inflict the maximum possible damage.

After killing the dragon, do not forget to absorb his soul, seeing this, Delfina will definitely believe you and tell you about her guesses, she believes that the Thalmor is to blame for everything, he avenges the defeat in the last war and wants to weaken the Empire with the help of dragons. But just to be sure, she talks about her new plan to sneak into the Thalmor embassy.

Diplomatic immunity

To prove the involvement of the Thalmor in the invasion of dragons, you need to find incriminating information in their embassy. But first, you need to come up with a plan of action. Delphine will make an appointment for you in Riverwood, at her secret hideout she will even give you the key to it.

She will tell you about the reception at the embassy, ​​which will take place the other day. It’s not possible to just get to a solemn reception - you need an invitation. But here you don’t need to bother too much - an invitation will be received by a friend of Dolphins, Malborn. We need to meet him in Solitude, in the Laughing Rat tavern.

In the tavern we find a nervous Malborn, to whom it will be possible to give all the necessary equipment, everything that you give him, he will carry into the ambassador's mansion. Having received an invitation, we leave the city and go to the stables, where Dolphin is waiting for us with clothes for the reception. She will also take all your equipment, she will hide it in her hideout. We climb on the wagon and go to the reception.

We pass through the security, along the way showing an invitation, and get into the house. In a conversation with the ambassador and other guests, try to behave more or less sanely. Malborn, standing behind the counter, will tell us to somehow distract the visitors so that we can leave unnoticed.

Take the brandy from Malborn or the maid serving food. Approach the tipsy Razelan, he will not mind drinking, but in return ask him for a favor - to make a small commotion.

While he draws attention to himself, you and Malborn should go into the kitchen past the grumpy Khajiit. In the pantry we can get the things that Malborn brought in for you. Next, you will see two guards talking to each other, they can be killed or passed using their stealth skills. On the second floor, you can see the magician, he can be killed or passed by.

Now you need to leave the mansion and get into another house, standing behind. Along the way, you will meet another guard, you can kill her again or try to slip through unnoticed.

In this house, we will first need to delve into the documents in the room on the second floor, after which you will need a key that unlocks the door leading to the basement. The key can be taken from the chest.

Having opened the door with a key or master keys, we get into the basement, there you will see one guard and Rulindir, if you did not kill him earlier. Having dealt with the opponents, search the chest and save the prisoner - Etienne Rornis, he will tell you everything he knows.

As soon as you save Etienne, the guards will suddenly enter, which will bring Malborn for interrogation. After killing the guards, take the hatch key from them. The hatch leads to a cave where an ice troll lives, the easiest way to kill him is using fire.

From our trip to the embassy, ​​we learned that the Thalmor has nothing to do with dragons - they are also trying to figure out why the dragons suddenly began to come to life. And they have one lead - an old member of the Blades named Esbern, who is rumored to be hiding somewhere in Riften. With this information, we return to Delphine in Riverwood and get the next task - to find Esbern. Don't forget to take all your belongings from Delphine's chest.

A rat cornered

Delphine will tell you to find the Blades archivist Esbern, but you are not the only one who needs him so much, the Thalmor also wants to get him. According to the assumptions of the Thalmor agents that you learned from the book, he is in Riften.

Delfina believes that Brynjolf, a member of the Thieves Guild, can help you. You can find it in the Ragged Flask or in the Marketplace.

Brynjolf will not tell you anything, but you can also interrogate Vekel the Warrior. He will say that a certain old man, similar in description to Esbern, lives in the Anthill, but some elves are also interested in him.

Several Thalmor are already waiting for you at the entrance, kill them and go to the anthill.

Esbern can be found behind a door with several locks at once, which is how the Blade Archivist warns himself against threats. In order for him to believe that you are not from the Thalmor, you can show your gift of persuasion or say the phrase that Delfina told us, namely: "Remember the 30th Beginning of Frosts."

After you convince him, he will open all the locks and let you into his humble abode. He will ask you to wait for him until he gets ready, and this task ends.

Alduin's Wall

After Esbern is ready, he will be ready to follow you to Riverwood to Dolphin. But before reuniting, you will have to break through the Thalmor soldiers who are already standing near the door. Get out to the surface and head to the Sleeping Giant.

Going inside, you can watch the scene of the meeting of two old acquaintances. Then Delphine will ask you to go down to her chambers, and there you will already hear the old man's incredible story about Alduin's Wall.

Your path leads to Sky Haven Temple, but your path will run through Karthspire, a camp full of warlike outcasts. It is not necessary to make your way through the entire camp, you can simply enter the temple itself.

Once in the temple, you will stand at three pedestals with Akaviri symbols, they must be placed with the Dovakin sign facing you, after which the bridge will lower. The next room will have pressure plates. You can also go through them by the sign of the Dragonborn. Then pull the ring, and your companions will also be able to go with you.

To go further, you need to spill your blood - the blood of the dragonborn on the seal in the center of the circle. After that, you can go to the Sky Haven Temple. Follow Esbern as he learns about the Akaviri art. Climbing up the stairs, you will see Alduin's Wall. Hear everything Esbern has to say as he reads the ancient prophecy.
