Bethesda Softworks is known for making games that allow players to collect a range of things, and since the release of Skyrim, players have gotten increasingly creative with their collections. For example, one Skyrim player has decided to collect the rarest and most coveted potions and drinks from the game to have them all to themselves.
Reddit user Miserable-Dress737 recently posted a clip of their Skyrim adventure in which they show off a massive drink and potion collection on one of the long tables located inside Dragonsreach. Dragonsreach is one of the first locations Skyrim players will arrive at upon the completion of the game's introduction, but the table portrayed in Miserable-Dress737's Skyrim clip usually has far fewer items on it. The table that is normally covered in plates, goblets, and food scraps is instead cluttered with Black Briar Mead, Philter of Strength, and Sleeping Tree Sap.
Miserable-Dress737's Skyrim clip begins with the player observing their cluttered Dragonsreach table from the untouched one on the other side of the central fire, showing the drinks and potions from a distance. The Skyrim player then pans from the right side of the table with Ashfire Mead on it all the way to Emberbrand Wine located on the side closest to the throne. Included with the aforementioned consumables, the table also has Argonian Ale, Dragon's Breath Mead, Lotus Extract, Nightshade Extract, Potion of Waterwalking, Soul Husk Extract, Skooma, and more.
Many potions can be made with Skyrim's Alchemy skill, but the player likely took a lot of time to hunt down the harder-to-find items highlighted in their display. Because of the value of most rare Skyrim potions and drinks, Miserable-Dress737's clip doesn't just show a ton of objects, but it shows lots of items that can be sold for a plethora of Gold. Some items in Miserable-Dress737's video are linked to Skyrim quests, so the player may be unable to progress in those activities as long as the consumables remain atop the Dragonsreach table.
Perhaps because of how well set up Miserable-Dress737's drinks and potions are, many fans of their video recommended they knock everything over with the Unrelenting Force shout. While the Skyrim player neglected to ruin their display at the conclusion of their video, they confirmed that it took eleven months to set up, which suggests they don't want to change it. Miserable-Dress737 also created videos to help others find these Skyrim potions and drinks themselves, which may hint that it could take someone else less time to replicate the collection.
Skyrim is available now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
