what's up guys my name is ESO and
welcome to the channel in this video I'm
going to be showing you a pretty well
hidden quest in Skyrim called The Legend
of Red Eagle off you've completed this
quest you'll get two swords as a reward
firstly the honed ancient nord great
sword of burning this sword has an
enchantment that does ten points of fire
damage on hit and then any targets that
you hit who are already on fire take
extra damage secondly red eagles Bane a
unique weapon which makes enemies up to
level 13 flee and sets them on fire for
30 seconds the sword is owned by
somebody called red eagle who
single-handedly killed over 1,000
Imperials who tried to take his homeland
from him I will tell you more about him
as we go on or you can just read the
book legends of red eagle which can be
found during the quest anyway to start
this quest we need to head over to red
eagle redoubt which is close to full
skull lookout is actually a chest over
here so you can go and grab by every
light
so you need to take care on your
approach in this place because there's
this bloody archer who has like the
dodging skills of some kind of crazy
confu guy I just I don't have to
describe it so basically you want to get
a sneak attack on him otherwise who
dodged all your arrow shots or at least
I don't always hear them now as well
okay then you should be able to take out
the pillaging pretty easy especially if
you stagger her every single hit so I
don't think there's much out here kind
of a quick check just a small force
swarm camp there is a healing potion
there seriously I had to rerecord at the
start of this video because this guy was
dodging every single one of my arrows
and as funny as that would be to watch I
don't think it would have been worth
your time so anyway let's go inside this
cave now I quite like this cave because
it's kind of like you're climbing to the
top of the mountain inside a cave so as
you come in you get this kind of like
you're at the bottom here and then
there's hole mounted which is just in a
cave I know you just said that but I
just can't get over how cool that is
this is what I like about Skyrim's cave
design it's very unique anyway I just
want to point out this stagg and we're
going to see this stagg quite long
within this cave and on this
mountainside I don't know if that's
meant to be a reference to the reach or
to her seeing which is a Daedric god
anyway there's a four swarms here
there's a couple so we can actually
activate this trap over here
and it's gonna set them fire to a little
bit of damage hope whoo was that so
that's got rid of her pretty easily oh
it's not done much damage to you has it
he was also blind they isolated this
truck but I'm not so sure what it did
no I genuinely don't know anyway if we
just continue on as not much loot to be
found on this quest most of its just
kind of like well there's a lot of
forsworn warriors and we're going to get
a large leak oh I forgot about that as a
bold attractors here yeah there are a
ridiculous amount of enemies on the
quest because we're literally raiding
the biggest forsworn stronghold in the
game let's see if we can pick one of
these guys off it's quite hard to kill
them without getting seen because it's
not really dark enough here to be almost
invisible all right we can get this guy
as someone I was coming down as well
- is she's limping your way ah she's
held herself god damn it I'm being
actually there was a there was a comment
on one of my or that I get this comment
quite often which is what difficulty do
you play on right now we are on where as
difficulty gameplay master difficulty
sometimes I play on legendary sometimes
just master just because otherwise you
end up standing there pouting errors
into people and I want to make the video
kind of like interesting to watch but
not boring or let me just go down here
quickly because there's usually a
levelled axe sometimes it's an elven bow
lack sometimes it's still and there's a
chest just under this staircase so make
sure you grab that - we don't need
anything else here so we're going to
continue up
so here we are welcomed by that
absolutely stunning view which my talk
about later there's a campfire and I
think there's a few more forsworn just
on the path ahead so take care when
you're coming out of that door oh
there's another chest over there
actually after God's sakes I'm supported
man why did she go she fought
I do like try and cheat in third person
it's good fun when you pull it off
where's this other person gone man oh
there she is
she's hiding away down there that was
another comment I got about archery
someone saying oh like why when you aim
at someone do you aim just below you
know you don't allow for the drop of the
arrow well actually in Skyrim when you
aim an arrow say for example I'm firing
out that wall it hits just above the
wall so unless you're firing say for
example over there it drops a little bit
at the end as you could kind of see I
know you didn't see the impact what
that's a master okay we're gonna try
this guys we're gonna try this [ __ ] sake
this should why is this a master level
chest what is going on okay bear with me
okay there we go
I just got 12 golden are you what the
[ __ ] no no that that last not fair is
that some kind of a joke like what why
does it have a master level lock on
literally no chests in the wilderness
has master level locks and then you come
across that one it's got masked level
locks and there's 12 [ __ ] golden
there
I spent a good ten minutes by the way
trying I locate that chest so don't have
any perks in a lock-picking
it's actually a lot harder to do oh okay
who they were like running at me like
they could see me in them they were like
oh no actually I think he's over here
we'll just we'll just pause here and
kind of pose with our weapons out I
think there's another enemy just up
there I think he's got a bow I cannot
see him though or her so I think she's
dead
usually if I get a sneak attack off of
Master difficulty you can kill most
enemies in one here just because of the
three times bonus which just makes you
very powerful really I know I haven't
really been looting their corpses I mean
Force One arrows that they're okay
they're not they're not the greatest I
do like that armor set like for
role-playing purposes it's pretty
beastly armor set to be honest there's
actually a unique version of that armor
set you can get on one of my favorite
quests to take this guy out which also
has like it's loaded with law about the
history of the Force One and kind of
like what they're all about actually so
is this quest
I just haven't spoken about in my chair
why does he have no weapon he trips over
the bench when he died that was funny
yeah so it's a unique on a set of this
and I can't remember exactly what it's
got but it gives you benefits sneak
destruction magic all sorts oh it's
actually quite a good armor set to like
just obtain and then you can like mix
and match it with other armor sets and
kind of get the best bone bonuses so
there's quite a few forsworn in this
camp which I'm going to have to take out
I think because otherwise they'll affect
the miniature boss battle at the top of
the mountainside because they're
probably will come running to help this
chest is usually quite good by the way
so it's worth picking
take out this guy first there's an
archer just at the top of the hill there
I know she she's heard me think about
forsworn is most of them are either
majors or arches so I mean there are
some close combat people usually dual
wield weapons but they're not that bad
skill they're generally they're not
really much of a nuisance
maybe I'm just saying that from like an
archery perspective though come to think
of it so that is the throne of the reach
that's what I'm going to call it but
before we go on I just want to is there
anyone else you can see me up there can
I stand up yeah I'm gonna stand up
hopeful someone's out there I can't
stand sneak out before we move on I just
want to look down this mountain because
you get the most amazing view there you
can usually see the hole above reach
from here but not today not on this not
on this day or at least the rain the
rain is nice it makes it quite
atmospheric I guess now the boss is up
here so oh no that's not the boss sorry
it's someone else
she said the boss is just over here he's
sitting on the throne and now I'm gonna
put a sneak attack on him he usually has
a bow he's the current king of the
regional cool
and that arrow just went over his head
do you see what I mean about it like
rising when you fire it
he's got arrow in the side of his head
on my god forsworn forever
oh yeah Scott he's dead
oh no I got the kill cam but not the
kill shot huh what's going on with these
arrows there we go that's the kill cam I
was looking for so he's got a red eagles
fury on him now this burns the target
for five points and then the target
takes extra fire damage which is of
course normal because it's a firing shot
man and this is like the weaker version
of the sword we are going to obtain so
take that the breyer hot which is a very
good alchemy ingredient you can also
sell it and we also need red eagles
tower key which I'll show you why in a
second this is the throne of the reach
there's a book which I'll come back and
read in a sec and I like how they've
lined this up with the fire pit of the
of the smithing station down there
that's quite a nice feature they come
down here because there is a boss chest
up here so don't forget to grab that 200
gold stars of courage studded armor not
great for me legend of the Red Eagle um
I can I'm just going to overview this
book for you because it's a very long
book so I'm not going to read it you
could really a self if you'd like to but
it basically sums up the whole story of
this quest line the quest is about Red
Eagle who was born in the reach a
village priest foresaw that he was going
to be a warrior and a leader who would
unite the ten warrior Kings who ruled
the reach at the time and indeed he
gained a lot of power and influence as
he grew older at the time of Red Eagle
Hester was empress of Cyrodiil
as a typical Imperial she decided to
invade the reach she was successful too
it was Red Eagle who refused to yield to
the Imperial so he formed a resistance
during his resistance he was approached
by a hag raven who offered him great
power for a price of course
Red Eagle agreed to the pact he actually
sacrificed his heart and his humanity to
become a forsworn Bryer heart and if you
look closely at the briar hot enemies
you can see that they don't have a heart
they have a briar heart which is a
pretty cool detail I actually have a
little Easter egg guide which I'll leave
a link to in the description which
basically shows you that you can
pickpocket briar hearts from forsworn
and if you pickpocket
it makes them die because you've
basically just stolen their heart from
them anyway the rebellion eventually
managed to drive the Imperials from the
reach which is why he's so famous in
fact you'll find a lot of references to
him in the forsworn law so anyway
there's also this red eagles right and
basically this book tells us what we
have to do with the next section of the
quest so we now have ready whose blade
and this is what is referring to red
eagles right which is what we're going
to undertake now having bathed the blade
in human blood presented at rebels car
together with your sacrificed and intone
Lord red eagle ancient one first and
foremost among the Richmond heed the
call of your people still we fight for
freedom still our blades are dark with
blood turn your gaze upon us and
grottoes and grant us your blessing and
new I renew the ancient covenant when at
last our lands are free we shall return
your sword of victory in hand then arise
O great one from your honored to reclaim
my stolen throne roll over us high Lord
of the reach forevermore
so that Keys used to open this master
door yeah if you've read this book you
will understand more so what that little
passage we just read in that book meant
now there's nothing at the top of this
tower so it's going to lower this and
run over to the next tower and there's a
chest in here so oh it's a novice I
thought that said master and I almost
had a heart attack I was like nope that
chest isn't gonna get opened Wow come on
man are you kidding right 20 gold grand
soldier and potion of healing potion of
strength that's quite useful take that
is there anything else useful up here
now there is not so now we are going to
move on to the next part of this quest
so this is Thunder towers which is where
we are at the moment just down the hill
is rebels Karn and is pretty
appropriately named because it's where a
red eagle was actually buried and
obviously the people of the reach were
rebels so rebels Khan right so go back
down the stairs
just come down here as a health potion
here which you might need boss fight and
there's a black soldier which if you're
a dodgy kind of player you might find
that useful so it's just down the hill
we're just going to walk over there just
want to point out this location over
here though it's an unmarked location or
what to what I consider to be an
unmarked location it kind of looks a
little bit like Stonehenge and maybe
it's positioning has something to do
with the Sun because like lots of
columns around it almost like a sundial
but I'm not sure so it's one of those
locations there's nothing there nothing
tied to it it's just have they done this
to piss me off or something I don't
understand it anyway rebels car is just
down here just over the hill they would
bury the king of the reach on top of the
mountain when they make sense so here we
go rebels car so let's go inside now
there are no enemies in the first part
of this dungeon do you know what I've
actually heard other people in like less
plays and stuff say oh yeah this is just
a pointless location like it was meant
to be part of a quest but they never did
it
actually now we've got ready hill sword
we're going to activate this weapon slot
stuff it in there
secret door opens oh my goodness there's
nothing else in this room apart from
this guy and he's holding the legend of
the Red Eagle
so it's kind of like if you do happen
across upon this location there's a
subtle hint that there's actually a
quest tied to it
not a lot of people kind of a lot of
people kind of missed this quest oh make
sure you leave this in the stone by the
way because otherwise you kind of make a
bug happen which isn't a good bug
because it means you can't get one of
the swords that we're going to obtain
yeah anyway because it's a miscellaneous
quest a lot of people actually miss this
one so here we are in the main boss
chamber and as soon as we step forward
lots of skeletons are going to spawn and
now what you can do is kill Red Eagle
and then the skeletons will just die or
you can just kill the skeletons and then
Red Eagle which is what I'm going to do
because I like to be awesome and we're
not going to do this quest and sneak
Modi that we're going to do balls-deep
oh my god he's driving
that makes it so we're going to take out
these skeletons with the slow time shell
and if I get a lot of people asking me
about this this build I will leave a
link in the description to my full guide
explaining how to use it but I could
right now Pelt him with arrows but it
would make the boss fight very easy so
we're going to wait until the slow time
shouts over he's using a spell Ward Ward
rather der Ward for some reason and I
was attacking his own skeletons what's
going on anyway
I I'm a bit annoyed about him being a
dragon and the reason for that is is
because he was like an amazing warrior
from the reach right so why the hell
would he be a dragon please that just
doesn't make sense in sounds of law the
reason why he's dragon free is that the
game randomly decides whether or not
depending on your level sometimes but
I've been here at the same level
sometimes he will be a Nordic like an
ordering Nordic overlord or whatever you
call them kind of like the Hyatt the
highest level of Nord wielding the Red
Eagle sword and then sometimes he'll be
this dragon priest which just doesn't
make sense when he's the dragon priests
but it's because the game hat uses a
radiant quest line what that means is
that it randomly decides what he's going
to look like but it shouldn't be like
that obviously so this is the ancient
nord great sword of burning which is
what he would use if he was a humanoid
but he's not obviously burns the target
ten points of damage and then the target
takes five extra fire damage over time
so make sure you go and loot the
treasure trove behind red eagles coffin
then I'll show you how to get the last
unique sword I hope you guys enjoyed
this video I've been trying to put a lot
more lore in and kind of explaining the
quest and the story behind it I think it
makes it more meaningful and interesting
that way and I know that a lot of people
like it when I do that I actually have a
whole quest series about little hidden
quests once they usually
overlooked so I'll leave a link in the
description to that playlist so you can
check it out also make sure you
subscribe for new ones anyway the last
unique sort and now this is why I wanted
you to leave the sword in the stone haha
King Arthur reference read eagle's Bay
so the sword has now changed and notice
how the okay so let me find it where is
it ready who has been where are you here
we go
so undead up to level 13 are set on fire
and flee for 30 seconds so it's kind of
like an upgraded version of that sword
does even more damage so it's kind of
like a better version why wouldn't you
want the better version make sure you
leave it in the in the stone you can use
it to open the boss room again I don't
know why you'd need to but and you can
take it out again I was worried then I
was clicking it and I was like why can't
I take it out but you actually just had
to wait for the door to open they closed
thanks very much for watching guys let
me know if you enjoyed the video and
what it is about it that you like or
what you want to see more of in the
comment section below I do try to read
all of your comments it takes a long
time but I do care about what you think
so I'll catch you in the next one
