Skyrim Secret Invisible Chest

Get ready for an awesome Skyrim secret, the super secret invisible chest.  This chest will give you access to countless weapons, armor, magic, gold, crafting materials and more.

Here's how to get to the secret invisible chest in Dawnstar.


As you can see from the video, this awesome skyrim tip gives you access to a chest with tons of free weapons and armor that you dont need to steal.  It's all yours for the taking.  Because of this, this is a really easy way to make gold in skyrim.  Simply take everything from the invisible chest and sell it to vendors.

You can make the chest respawn if you wait around 10 days, and then you can loot all the equipment, potions and armor again, and sell it to make easy gold in skyrim.  It's a win-win.

This skyrim secret is just one of tons of tips available, but this is one of my favorites.  The invisible chest actually gains levels with you, so if you loot the chest at level one or at level twenty.. you will get different items from the invisible chest.  This is awesome.  The only bad thing about the loot is that it is in Dawnstar, which is pretty far from everything.  You can spend 50 gold on the carriage to get here... don't worry you'll make the gold back easy with how easy it is to make gold in skyrim with this invisible chest!

I would like to know who found this awesome skyrim secret, tip and trick because I feel like this would almost be impossible to find.  Think about how big the world is, and someone just happened to come to this out of the way area and search for loot.  Not only that, but I wonder if Bethesda put this in the game on purpose?  That would be cool, wouldn't it?

Happy hunting!

Esbern Won't Open Door

Skyrim is an awesome game, many quests, many different things to do, almost too much, because of this there are a lot of bugs in the game that are difficult to get around.  One bug that is horrible because it affects the main game's story is the quest, A Cornered Rat.  This is bad because within the quest there is somewhere you need to go but unfortunately, Esbern won't open door.  That's right, you need to get past and speak with Esbern, but for whatever reason the door in A Cornered Rat won't open.

Luckily there is a fix to, "Esbern won't open door"


In this video will tell you exactly what you need to do to make sure that you can proceed in the quest, A Cornered Rat.  This is important because this quest is part of the main quest, given to you by Delphine- a former blade (Blades played a big part in the Elder Scrolls game Oblivion) this is not some small side quest, this NEEDS to be done in order to continue the story... and if Esbern won't open the door, you can imagine your frustration. 

What exactly is the fix to make Esbern open the door?

Well, there is a command you enter into the console which allows it to open and proceed with the quest.  You basically need to set the games quest to a certain point.  If you are on PC you also can download the audio files for Esbern's talking, since with this bug Esbern doesn't say anything, and it can be annoying to try to figure out what's happening in the story.

I believe the console command to fix the door issue is

setstage mq202 160

Typing this in the console will prevent Esbern won't open door and fix your quest issue. 

If you are still having issues with him not opening the door for a cornered rat, please let me know and I will do my best to help you through the issue.  But until then, good luck and enjoy playing the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim!  It's one of my favorite games, don't let a small bug like this hurt your opinion of the game!

Skyrim Arrow Bug, Skyrim Ice Spike

Hey guys, if you've bee playing TES V for long, then no doubt you've run into the Skyrim Arrow Bug, or the Skyrim Ice Spike bug.  These are errors that happen while playing cause the arrows or frost spells to stick around on the character for way too long.  Hours, Days, Weeks, Months... year later.. they are sticking out of you and you just can't seem to fix the issue. 

I have found a fix for the Skyrim Arrow Bug.
I have found a fix for the Skyrim Ice Spike Bug.




In this video it tells you exactly how to get rid of any sort of graphic errors.  It's pretty easy and you never need to be adventuring with the Skyrim Arrow Bug again!  When guards tell you about getting shot in the knee, you will no longer be a painful reminder with your own wound still showing at level 50 from when you got shot at level 2.

Not only does it fix arrow bugs that cause them to stay stuck in you forever, it fixes ice spikes, ice graphics, ice effects and lingering frost spells.  The 2 samples below are just 2 of the many graphical issues you can resolve in Skyrim.  Just watch the video to find out how.



I know that when I was adventuring through Skyrim I had the arrow bug happen about 5 times, and during cut scenes it drop me nuts.  I actually like the picture above of the Ice Spike bug because it looks awesome in your horse's head.  He almost looks like a unicorn bad ass.

Luckily the fix is as easy as learning to become a werewolf, learning the dragons words to the dragon shout Become Ethereal.. or just not getting hit.  But that's way to hard.  I found the best fix for the skyrim arrow bug was the dragon shout become ethereal.  You cast the shout, wait until it fades, and when it does.  No more graphics glitches.  Of course, this fix also works with any transformation based ability which is why it works with the werewolf transformation.  Quick and easy. 

I hope this information and video about how to fix Skyrim Arrow Bugs and Ice Spikes Bugs was helpful =D
