All my Known Loopholes in Skyrim

a List with Cheesy things in Skyrim that i found out long ago and never got fixed not even in Special Edition.

INTRODUCTION

Hi, this is my first Guide and I Choose to point out all the Cheesy things in Skyrim. As far as I Know them. If they are pointed out by other people, yet which they probably are since they are obvious.I can't Change this fact.
I still want to say it's based on my experience I can't give credit to all the people that I don't know that said I would like to start with the list.

1. Free Trainning

This actually was the first Loop I figured when I started playing Skyrim.

Basically Pickpocket is so much more Overpowered yet since now days you can steal easy over 1000gold which was capped in the beginning with a 1 % chance.

So to pull this its easy I recommend you for "power leveling" to get a little pickpocket outfit Ring / necklace in Solitude and optionally join thief guild.

So basically what you want to do is go to a trainer gets your wished skill and then pickpocket the trainer. He will have the gold you gave him in his inventory.

Its basically every level up you do 5 free levels of training.

Figured this skill actually with the Companions if you learn from them after your leader and they are available as Follower they also have your money in their Inventory and you can trade it freely back to yourself.

2. Reset Merchant

Well not much to say you reset the merchants bag by simply Quick save and than kill him and Quick load

Restocks his gold, and he gets new items i guess everyone know already.

3. Merchant Chests

the most ridicules stuff i found out after i was done with the game and started to play with the console noclip through skyrim that there where chests in underground in the middle of nowhere. which lead me research it a little further.

so there is basicly a lot of so called Merchant chests in Skyrim some easy to reach some through a little work i will soon update this with picutres and better tutorial where they are .

My known Locations are:

Dawnstar: Easiest its next to the mine in a rock.




Markarth: also easy its next to the cravan place on the ground next to the stone wall if you search a little easy to find


Solitude: also Easy if the Caravan is spawned its pretty much in the floor right in front of the Tent.


Whiterun: is a little tricky since you need jump out of the map and walk under the City. i will make a Pictured Tutorial under a new paragraph for this one i wanted to record a short video but not gonna make a youtube channel for this so you can see a slide show on a new paragraph

Ragged Flaggon: 6chests in the Water found it first while noclip. the other way is hard to reach.
i found out thaat you can use a woodenplate and glitch through the door or Wall. i Recommend an Argoninan or a Breathwater Elixir other wise u choke. it also needs practice to pull it. like written in in whiterun part not gonna make a yt channel for 1video you can probably find it though on youtube if you try " Ragged Flaggon" secret chests.

Those chests give you a Retarted boost since you get everything for free and it refills over time again and again plus it scales with your lvl.

3.1 Whiterun Merchant Chest

1. Go to the Gate

2. Enter the guard house


3. jump on the Barrel i think the developer screamed for someone to pull this


4. Jump from barrel to that wall


5. Bloop your Outside


6.face this direction and than walk straight

7. Look for this spot



8. go to the stones



9. Go to the cornor and fall through the city



10. BOOM CHEST


11. Try to orientate your self to safe your cheeky butt


12. After you found that 2 Pillar looking things just walk straigh and POOF back in town

4. Dupe Items

Well easy all you need is a Follower and a City Gate

Step 1

Drop Item you want to Dupe

Step 2

Let Follower pick up the Item

Step 3

Leave City and Go back straight after

Step 4

Notice that the item still lays on the Ground

Check Follower Inventory notice that he also have the Item

BOOM Double

Note: If you Dupe Items it wont work on Crafted Gear if you enchant it and smith it higher the companion will carry the Original the Copies are the unmodified Items.

So if you make a Frost resist Shield it will be just a Shield

but if You found one as original Frost resist it can be mulitplied.

(Creative Idea Try it with Soulgems didn't try yet to duplicate them with a soul but it would be a nice way to lvl enchanting like this.)

5. Endless Alchemy Loop

This is a little more complex but pretty much u break your game with this if you are not careful.

First Preperation.

You need a Full Alchemy Set possible strongest enchant you can get. 17 % other wise you need ages to reach a good point.

Restoration Skilling to Regenartion Perk.

Optional: to make it even more crazy Necromage + Vampirism

i would Recommend that you skill alchemy with the Pickpocket train loop from above to maximum. It will also benefit alot more. But you should have it at least to 30 for benefactor Perk and make the Perk Alchemist as high as Possible.

Step 2. Material Gathering
You need alot of Materials to Loop it up Saltpiles and Fish(Abecean Longfin and Cyrodilic Spadetail Small Antlers will also do if you like to butcher deers) you can get it in the river of Markath and Riften check Barrels have tons of Salt for fish u need to dive and catch alot of them.

Step 3. Loop it up

so now you wear your alchemist Outfit and have alot of materials ready time to craft
so what we do now is using the game mechanic to get an endless power up.

so what we do is we craft Foritfy Restoration Potion with the Saltpile and the Fish named above. just 1 if we have a good amount of alchemy bonis it makes something like 60% better Restoration

now you want to undress the armor and drink your Tasty brew now you see your alchemy on the armor raised from 17% to something in the 20s and now you repeat this process until you reach ur wished alchemy bonus.

Done

5.1 What do you do with Alchemy Loop

How is it useful?

So how does this help you ? Except you get super expensiv potions and max lvl alchemy everytime you craft a potion?

well first of all your speech is 100 after u sold 1 potion repeat as much as u want legendary this skill until you get tired pretty much free perks.

but now comes the catch since your alchemy is so retarted strong how about you make a diffrent potion???? for example Fortify Smithing 1 craft makes you lvl 100 and u get a weapon that makes idk 10million dmg? how ever use with caution it might crash the game

the real jewel is fortify Enchanting with Carry weight u basicly create a bottomless bag. My experience says u should not make enchanting poitons over 6000% other wise ur game simply closes because it cant handle it but i made myself a sweet little ring that i use when i need it

sadly you dont level any Faster enchanting its still a stupid grind that gets a little better if you combine the free training method with disenchant the items from the merchant chests.

basicly you can also do the same loop diffrent which is just super tiring but pretty much brought me to this idea after i found out that restoration scales with perks on armor.

my Original thought back than was like if i create fortify enchanting potion with Alchemy and enchant my stuff with achlemy it gets stronger aswell. The process is tiring but you get always permanent armor enchants that are stronger and not time based for 1potion

i think the best solution here is if you make yourself a strong enough alchemy armor that doesnt break your game so you can save the annoying alchemy grind from before.

but yea you get the mechanic you know how you can use it on anything in skyrim.

An Examples is the restoration buff actually gives you a bonus to any Scaleing Effect. You will see other enchanted Armors get also like 1000% resist and so on.

I discovered Lately through Research if you can do more funny things with this Loop and YES you can you can stack up a Fortify Restoration Potion with the Attronach stone which allows you to absorb 100% magic dmg basicly Godmode. even if it doesnt show you in effect the spell is enhanced im not Sure if it works With Talons Blessing need to try it later on .

6. Level Grind

Well to Level all your fight Skills you need to have a Dark Brotherhood Horse.

than u want to put the difficulty on Legendary because it lowers your dmg to 0.25 Multiplier
this allows you to hit far weaker than what your horse can Regain in a second.

(Your Experience gain is based one the Base Damage you do this is the Damage number that is written on your Menu next to armor Rating.)

Since this horse alrdy can beat a dragon Single Hoofed it can also deal with your tiny dmg.

Notice that you should not use Mehrunez Razor because of the Random Kill Function

and also no Looped weapon since it 1shot everyone.


If you want to Level Armor you can use an Alchemy boosted one since here its like with
weapons you level based on the Raw Damage not the actual damage you recieve from a hit.

Best way i found to do is get an good armor put the Difficulty to Legendary.
(You dont want to be under 1000 armor rating because you will get to much dmg.)
This will boost the Raw damage x3.
Than go to a Giant spot prefered with 2 of them this speeds things up.
Combine this leveling method with block and Restoration for maximum output.

Because of the comment section id like to correct something with fight skill's these counts only for Physical Dmg. if you want to level Magic it will be a little more difficult to level.
Because the Destruction tTee which is the damage line, is based on a diffrent mechanic than physical dmg.
Here you should best play on Adept because the damage multiplier above will lower your damage and this lowers your experience gain.

And because Todd smelled that novice would be way to easy.
He actually made a cap on adept you deal more dmg on Novice, but wont get more exp for this.
SO this just shows he knows how to prevent all the abuse with a cap but simply didnt want to put effort in this and allows you to be overpowered in all the other Skill Tree's.

7. Aetherial Crown

Well this is pretty much from the very beginning wanted to be Abused because of it super Overpowered effect. it basicly have the effect :
Retains the last Standing Stone ability you held, granting you its effects in addition to those of your current stone.

THIS SCREAMS to be Overpowered and you should always choose this OP item over the rest because its all you need.

List of Stones
The Thief Stone grants the ability learn Stealth skills 20% faster
The Mage Stone grants the ability to learn Magic skills 20% faster.
The Warrior stone grants the ability to learn Combat skills 20% faster.
The Ritual Stone allows you to re-animate all dead to fight for you once a day.
The Atronach Stone It grants you +50 Magicka and allows you to absorb 50% spells damage, though you recover Magicka 50% slower.
The Shadow Stone It allows you be invisible once a day for 60 seconds.
The Steed Stone Gives no speed loss from wearing armor and gives you +100 carry weight.
The Lady Stone Permanently regenerate health and stamina 25% faster.
The Apprentice Stone This stone helps you recover Magicka 100% faster but makes you 100% weaker to it.
The Tower Stone Enables you to unlock any expert or lower locks automatically once per day.
The Lover Stone This stone helps you to learn all skills 15% faster.
The Serpent Stone This stone allows you to use a 5 second paralysis spell that also does 25 damage once per day.
The Lord Stone Provides 50 points of damage resistance and 25% magic resistance.

Why is this Item so super Strong? because u have 2stones and Now comes the catch the Stone is locked to the Item. If you Undress and Dress it again it Resets the Daily Cooldown of the Dailystones.and you can easy Spamm this overpowered Daily Spells as much as you want.

8. Stacking Equip

This one is a little Dumb to pull and it might need practice since you need to have good timing.

So probably alot also know this one already but PC users tend to struggle since it doesnt work as good as for XBOX and PS4. Im Speaking about the 5 Talos Amulets while on Console you can Equip stuff from your Follower it doesnt really work on PC at least not for me BUT it still does something funny.

So i explain u what u need to do.
1. be a Werewolf or Vampire
2. have a Follower
3. Have items u want to stack up.



now you need to switch form and talk to your follower synchron so u switch form and talk to him at the same time.

If you pulled it so far Congrats ur pretty much done.

Now you need to tell him you want to trade somethings with ur Follower. While the Talon glitch lets you Equip from your follower you could take 5 Amulets of Talons and have a Shout Machinegun because you dont have any Cooldown.
Doesnt work for PC i think so because i couldnt do it or im just to dumb.


BUT what you can do is go to your inventory and Equip not stacked items like Armors Enchanted rings etc. important is you dont get the effect of (5) items just the plain one but if you have now like 100 diffrent rings with diffrent abillitys that dont give you a bracket on the item you can wear them all and stack them up. not as fun as before but imagine you have 30rings with magicka regen and pretty much unlimited magicka or anything you wish for.


Pretty much for me its just Interesting so i can wear my Overpowered Carry weight ring + a Normal enchanted Ring.

Well its up to you how much you want to mess with your game since it is mainly singleplayer do whatever is fun for you.

Buddy... You can fall out of whiterun just by walking up to a certain house...

[Roycehellion]

Been so long, forgot half this, have an awards

[angeneil]

WOW! what a wheeze. thanxsmuchlyanlots, for this great chunck of information.

[Reijin]

@stevend1111 i will try that when i have time again thanks for the info

[Darksteelknight]

@Dantrag, yes it works with filled soul gems, but only pre-filled ones you have bought of found. Also the only item i cannot duplicate, (within a few retries) is azadols body armor piece. For the endless alchemy, or 'fortify restoration loop' as its better known, also works with the talos amulet. Simply chug a beefy fortify restoration potion, then equip an amulet of talos. as long as its equipped, it receives the fortify restoration buff. Its easier in my opinion that doing the follower stacking equips. Another glitch to add/try for yourself is, the equipped wearwolf weapon glitch. similar to stacking equipment but for weapons where you equip a weapon after youre transformed and it adds its enchantments effects to your basic attacks (and look weird holding a greatsword in one paw)

[Yakkob auf Cincy]

i know of an better way to dupe items but it only works on pc, that glitch that lets you sell merchants their own stuff works with chests in a similar way

[Thort]

There's also a way to rob all of the shop keepers in windhelm...
I dont remember exactly how to get there but it involves using a follower that is okay with stealing because the chests are too high above you to loot

[Reijin]

@Robosium this is not 100% true because the scaling is based on a diffrent mechanic.

It is basicly the base dmg of the weapon that gives you exp so the beauty is to use a weapon that makes alot dmg but doesnt harm shadowmere to much.

Same goes for Armor the base dmg you take is important to gain xp and not the actual dmg you recive after armor rating. Basicly to fast level you need an Strong armor and take a beating from 2 Giants you will fly through the armor lvls.

for further informations about how to skill : https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Leveling

[Robosium]

Skill leveling in combat skills scales off of the damage you deal so higher difficulty with the lower damage modifier is rather counter intuitive.

you have to use the console to return to a place in skyrim, so coc riverword works iirc
