Can I beat Skyrim as Gandalf the Grey? | Skyrim Challenges

How come that this has so few views and comments? :O This is a very cool Run. Only thing is missing in my opinion is you taming the White Unicorn from the College of Winterhold as (I forgot the name Q_Q) "Gandalf's Horse". Quest is called "Creature of Legends" and starts by reading a Note(book) in the Arcaneum, you can then tame it near Riften. 12:10 Hahaha. I just realized that they aren't scripted to appear in Ivarstead. It's just that I always do Klimmek's Quest on taking Supplies to the Greybeards as I'm heading there anyways and Fasttravel back down for the juicy Gold after I've done with the Guys so just to get ambushed by those Cultist in Ivarstead ALL my Life x'D

Gandalf the Greybeard

"You shall not pass!" Gandalf can definitely shout :D Fair use of Shouts.

"Pick up some wizard's robes so I'm not just a naked old man running around" But why not be a naked old man? They're awesome!

I was planning to do a Gandalf playthru myself. I figured the beneficial Ilusion spells would be ok. I mean, helping everybody around him be brave is Gandalf's job.

Gandalf definitely has fire magic.

I played skyrim since 2011 when it came out I honestly never thought about the option to convince Ulfric stormcloak and General taluous to do peace talks

FINE... fine, i'll install skyrim AGAIN!

Ganjalf: YOU SHALL PASS that joint. Also. Staff of magnus drains x magicka per sec. Once target has no magicka left it does x health damage per sec. Hope this helps.

You can do other distractions at the thalmor party, but they require doing quests beforehand, involving the npc, and sometimes speech checks (Wasnt sure if this was a joke or not, but wanted to clarify anyway)

The dragon language specifically does this thing called tonal manipulation. This allows it to manipulate the fabric of reality itself. It's also not specific to dragons necessarily. They just have an innate understanding of it, whereas members of the mortal races have to spend multiple years to learn and understand the meaning of even a single word. In fact, Ulfric Stormcloak studied under greybeards for a time and learned a couple of words of unrelenting force. You can theoretically invent brand new shouts by just combining the right words together. A dragon could possibly learn dragonrend if they took the time to much like a human would have to. One more thing. Tamriel is the continent, not the planet. The planet is Nirn. It would be more accurate to say Jeff is in North America.

The Staff of Magnus doesnt actually work properly, and never has. It drains the magicka properly, but when it absorbs their HP, it does like 1 or 2 damage per second.

Gandalf absolutely would be a Master of the Voice. He also should be capable of spells without his staff, but LotR magic is more "soft magic" than TES's "hard magic".

14:09 there ARE more ways! The problem is you have to do other quests to get the connections required.

the staff of magnus' effect is that it drains magicka first and when the target has no magicka left it starts draining health so when u xwere using the staff u were only draining magicka and not dealing damage great video though :)

Honestly Gandalf never threw a punch tho

23:20 to be fair, Odahviing doesn't really have much room to move his neck around. What's he supposed to do, angle his neck at 180° and breath fire at the yoke?

I think this challenge and similar like it would be even cooler in oblivion! Also, you just earned a sub!

This is awesome!

Why did you forbid shouts? I mena after all "The voice" is a well known magic Gandalf uses
