Legendary No death guide

[OreGano]

So Im looking for a no death Legendary difficulty guide, but its really difficult to find. I know a few basics, like to bring a companion along since so many things one or two shot you, i know to hit hadvar or ralof to level up you one handed and your level, I know to level up archery using Faendal and get your gold back, but what Im really wondering is actual builds/strats.

I know you can just stealth archer your way through it, but I would really like a broader range of classes, but Im not sure what I can actually do, since last time I tried sword and board since thats my go to in most playthroughs (the time after I went stealth archer but after beating bleak falls, I left and it was midnight so I couldnt see well and I walked straight off a cliff and died... I stopped doing legendary 1 life runs then), but I got melted since it doesnt do much damage, and if you spend points in one handed and not armour, you get melted even faster.

Basically I would like a guide, hence the title. Tips on race, weapons, companions, perks etc, or any other links or comments would be appreciated xo

Well, first of all, what for? Like, what is it about this that makes you want to do it? Do you want the satisfaction of figuring out how to survive on Legendary difficulty (ie with your character hugely nerfed), or do you just want someone to tell you how to do that? If you play Legendary in such a way that (whether through gear, grinding skills by hitting a non-aggressive NPC, or whatever) you basically aren't put at the disadvantage it entails (ie you negate the nerfing), why not... just play on a more sensible/realistic setting, or use mods to make the combat tougher in a more interesting way than simply 'you are weaker than if you were playing on Adept or Expert'?

Like, I'm not saying you mustn't do this, but I find it's helpful to figure out exactly what I'm looking for with this stuff. (For me, I like a challenge, but nerfing my character a/ makes no sense and b/ is mostly just really boring, it doesn't really make fights *tougher* so much as more annoying as I do so little damage. I'd rather use mods that change how combat works in more fun ways.) That way, I can avoid wasting time on things that don't really fit with what I'm looking for.

Skyrim Legendary difficulty No Death Challenge tips:
- I prefer the Breton race because it is resistant to magic and has the wolf summon spell at the beginning of the game.
- We will try not to upgrade the skills except Conjuration, Alteration and Restoration. Because as our level increases, our enemies become stronger.
- First, we go to the city of Whiterun and reach the city of Winterhold by caravan. It is important to enter college at the beginning of the game. We must learn new spells.
- Then we go to the city of Windhelm again by caravan. We take Stenvar with us there.
- After earning some gold by working as a lumberjack in Riverwood town, we go to college and learn the bound sword spell. We won't use the sword, but this spell increases conjuration very quickly.
- We go to the city of Markarth with a caravan and take the dog named Vigilance with us.
- We are going to activate the lord stone together with Stenvar, summon wolf and vigilance. It will provide us 25% magic resistance and +50 armor.
- We will go to the city of Riften with the caravan and receive the quest The Book of Love from the woman named Dinya Balu. We can find the woman in Mara's temple. When we complete this mission, our magic resistance increases by 15%.
- We need to give three points to magic resistance in the Alteration skill tree. This will give us 30% magic resistance in total.
- We will receive the quest from the priest in the hall of the dead in the city of Whiterun. But we will not complete the quest.Because when we wear it, the Amulet of Arkay will give us an extra 10 health. Also, if we get the Shrine of Arkay buff every 8 hours, we will gain an extra 25 health.
- We need to wear gloves and boots, heavy armor to increase our defense. We will wear robes of conjuration and adept hood.
- We can start exploring the Skyrim map. We will not enter the dungeons or do any quests yet. Stenvar, summon wolf and vigilance will go first, we will stay behind and try to raise conjuration, alteration and restoration. When our level rises, we should get flame atronach, it is stronger than summon wolf.
- We will definitely not approach the enemy. Let your army fight. You can die with a single blow when you least expect it. Two handed enemies, Bear, ice wolf, sabretooth, giant, mammoth, ice wraith are the first ones that come to my mind that we should stay away from.
- When we reach Conjuration level 75, we will get the dremora lord and storm atronach books from college. Storm atronach will be our strongest attack against wizard enemies and dragons, and dremora lord will be our strongest attack against all the remaining enemies.
- When Conjuration reaches 100, we will get the twin souls skill. Thus, we will be able to make two dremora lords or storm thralls.
