35 thoughts on “The Ninth Priest [Skyrim Vanilla Completionist Build] S5E6”
This build marks an important milestone for us — thirty fully-vanilla Skyrim builds across five seasons. We're going to be diving back into the Anniversary Edition now, so be on the look out for more builds in the future!
Nice one guys! Always good to see Konhariik get used, such an under-utilised mask. Really enjoyed listening to all of your tie in’s to the characters from your channel too 😁
– Masque of Clavicus Vile – Ebony Mail – Daedric Guantlets of Negation – Ring Of Namira – Ebony or Daedric Boots enchanted with Stealth and Muffle – Sanguine Staff (Or Spell Breaker) and Mace Of Molag Bal – Azura's Star (Black)
Backstory would be a character wanting to become an acolyte of oblivion, and ends up having his or her soul owned by like 9 different Daedric Princes.
Can also have the Cannible follower and have her decked out with Daedric Mail, Razor, and a daedric sword.
Pet can be the Goblin with Spear Of Bitter Mercy, which is also a Daedric relic of Hercine.
Awesome stuff! This reminds me of the Universalist from Kingdoms of Amalur/Re-Reckoning a bit and would be cool to play that type of character in Skyrim. Keep up the great work guys!!
Excellent build as per usual. Would you two ever consider making another Fallout New Vegas build? I loved the Insurgent and would be interested in seeing a tribal character.
I am crap at finishing this game.. done it only once ever but i love this sort of gameplay.. used to have a disgruntled character(even a could be altmer who saw the evil of thalmor and wanted to join storm cloacks) who after the war would kind of fall.. first thieves guild.. and further dark brotherhood.. and later deadric quests.. and two deadric quests are key.. markarth vigilant tyronius.. and namira. First you do the molag bal quest where you at your lowest.. but you see it through the mirror of the fallen vigilant. Thenwhen you do namiras quest as the last deadric that you do this is the final choice .. do you completly fall to evil.. or you in one swoop of fury come back to the light and kill all the canibals. I always wanted to kill the canibal and either thats where the paladin playthrough starts .. or good archmage.. and a game of redemption starts. So no stealing no unecessery killing. Even go out of the way to avoid killing bandits. No stealing of souls. And kind of the last quest for this good character would be to take all the deadric wepons that you got and throw them down the chasm in sovegard.. if thats possible.. or at least roleplay it. Thats kind of the last redemption as far as the character goes. Not necesserily the end of the game. Ie. Miraak.. of course saving him.. harkon .. head on a spike 😄
What strikes me the most about this build is how it brilliantly deals with the hardest thing to roleplay in Skyrim: the evolution of characters throughout not just the various in-game plots, but their personal stories too.
Skypothesis, this is really some next-level build. The creativity in this is insane. I was deep into the Shroud of Coldharbour build and started another build for the Desert Wind Exile. Dam you guys, now I have to start this one too 😅 By the way, I like your narrative tone better too in this video compared to your previous ones. Can't wait for your next vid, appreciate all your hard work !
I always aim for completion in Skyrim, but when I go out and aim for full completion I have these following rules that I apply to myself.
-Achieve mastery on all skills(100) and make them Legendary, essentially reaching LV162 -Learn all available spells, shouts, and passive bonuses(such as Sailor's Repose). -Gather and collect all available books in the game -Have every follower be available for you -Complete all quests, clear all dungeons, and defeat all bosses -Purchase every house, become thane of all holds -Play on Legendary Survival Mode -Craft and obtain every armor and weapon available in the game.
I have other rules but those are like the basics, and when I say available I mean items that you can obtain normally with items such as the quest where you have to choose either the Ring of Hircine or the Savior's Hide being the exception because you can only choose one of them so if you chose the ring over the armor, you're alright.
Currently in my game I am a LV80 Mystic Bulwark Necromancer, having the Ebony Warrior as my permanent undead thrall, and have made my armor not only over the armor cap but enchanted the hell out of it to the point where I'm essentially immortal all the while casting spells like Elemental Blast without spending any Magicka XD
Would love to see a bounty hunter type build for the Anniversary stuff! Someone hunting down the Crimson Dirks, flexible role play where you can justify most if not all quests as long as they lead you to clues on the Dirks. Looking forward to whatever you have planned though!
What a season finale. The light callbacks, the footage for visuals on another level, the phases shift up each look so well. I can see why it was worth the delay (plus for your health too. Glad you seem okay now) Definitely a top tier build in the series. I'll stay tuned.
I habitually rambled about my own inspirations in characters like I do sometimes since I saw some similarities so if you want to read on, go ahead. Shares some similarities with an idea of mine too. My idea will also have phases but less drastic as currently my only kinda dynamic idea. I'll also have a rebel soldier, proud Dragonborn, Companions to Thieves Guild transition but my inspiration comes from elsewhere. The phases for mine are more simplistic starting from steel armour like a tough mercenary to riches in fine clothes. After realising Skyrim had all of: Underground crime (involving money collection), dragon symbolic protagonist, kinda plausible unarmed fighting, I had to think of how a Yakuza style would work (taken from the game series known as Yakuza but this idea sounds more loyal to itself and interesting when the creation is like a bad guy/villain from it). Without enchanting, I can combine fists of steel with brawlers steel gauntlets from creation club to have something asap for a human. The inspiration gives purpose to dragon shouts on top of it for a Skyrim twist. Some Yakuza in media can call themselves like a mad dog or wolf and the beast blood can breathe some life into that idea too. As a faction whose goal is money and fighting, it feels relevant and natural to give him that power. Some growth could also show his human side as he tackles the Dawnguard seeing vampires as a threat to his new criminal enterprise that aims to challenge Maven Black-Briar after taking over from Mercer Fray. Miraak's "there can only be one Dragonborn" is taken as intended. As a personal attack and will be a highlight in his story as this last Dragonborn will feel somewhat similarly. Miraak is like his real story antagonist in a way.
Awesome build guys! Loved how the backstory tied in with the Rebel, another one of my favorite builds you’ve made. I’ve always liked Nord builds the best. Playing as a Nord in Skyrim just feels right, and when role playing a character, allows you to feel a deep connection to the land and it’s people.
I know this is a vanilla build but the Bruma mod would be absolutely perfect for this build. At some point during his phases he could journey back to his home of Bruma and complete some really cool quests
Felt like the witchkiller had a bit of dynamic to the playthrough as the character starts off as a regular man with a call to action. Loved roleplaying that character as learning through every encounter he has with a baddy.
That said, I'm very excited to try this build out. I've been wanting to find a character where it felt right to do a completionist build, and this just fits so perfectly.

He could also use the Oblivion Sentinel's Cataclysm ability, if he wanted to keep ahold of Auriel's Bow and decided to join the vampires.
Daedric Prince build anyone?
– Masque of Clavicus Vile
– Ebony Mail
– Daedric Guantlets of Negation
– Ring Of Namira
– Ebony or Daedric Boots enchanted with Stealth and Muffle
– Sanguine Staff (Or Spell Breaker) and Mace Of Molag Bal
– Azura's Star (Black)

Gentlemen. You've truly outdone yourselves with this build. This is excellent.
You should do a phase story Viking build
I love dynamic builds and this one looks amazing! Found a reason to go back to skyrim, thanks guys! Looking forward for next season 😉

This "build" would also makes Skyrim feel like a George R. R. Martin story. Which seems like an unexpected but delightful outcome!
Great last kill at the end!
Excellent build as per usual. Would you two ever consider making another Fallout New Vegas build? I loved the Insurgent and would be interested in seeing a tribal character.
Wonder if next season will reveal the final brother to the Volkihar knight and Dawn knight
Utterly epic. Please for the love of god do not make us wait too long for season 6 😅
Finishes with a stealth kill to Nazeem…….admirable! can wait for the next season. Although I prefer the Vanilla builds, AE builds are still badass.

can you do modded build?
because i love the new skill in ordinator
He is like a fighting game mimic character like Shang Sung from Mortal Kombat.

Could you explain to me how are you so good at role play? I am new to this tipe of games and I literally just follow the mission.
now I BET this is what you spent MOST of the time between the kingkiller and the wood orc also a little wood orc on the side
I immediately recognised the backstory where the letter renouncing the Thalmor was nailed to every door.
Does this mean that the Ninth Priest is related to, or lived close by to….The Rebel? 😯
As much as I would like a proper Unarmed build with the Fearsome Fists CC, this will do. For now…
Would love to see a bounty hunter type build for the Anniversary stuff! Someone hunting down the Crimson Dirks, flexible role play where you can justify most if not all quests as long as they lead you to clues on the Dirks.
Looking forward to whatever you have planned though!

My wish in life is to have a Skypothesis type channel for Fallout 3 and New vegas… would be heaven on earth.
This build is really the opposite of my completionist build. Instead of a road to redemption, it’s a corruption of power. And it’s absolutely amazing.
stormcloak? boo hiss!! ^^ All kidding aside, fantastic build and look.
Always wanted to play as a Konahriik build, Merry Christmas Skypothesis
I know this is a vanilla build but the Bruma mod would be absolutely perfect for this build. At some point during his phases he could journey back to his home of Bruma and complete some really cool quests

this looks amazing! not something for me, but awesome nonetheless!
Gotta say too the dynamic build is really cool.
Incidentally; do you have any plans to create a followet of Sanguine type build at any point?
