Skyrim Elder Scrolls Walkthrough>>

this comes after 18 hrs. of nonstop skyrim play!!

                   
As soon as the dragon mucks up your execution, the first quest of Skyrim begins apace. With your hands still bound, you are powerless against enemies, nevermind the dragon. Quickly run into the building in front of you and make your way up the stairs. The dragon blows a hole right through the wall, giving you a clear view of the adjacent house to which you can jump. Meet Hadvar outside and follow him until you reach the Keep and a branching point: You can choose to run with Hadvar (Imperial) or Ralof (Stormcloak).

Now depending on who you go with, things will pan out a little differently. With Hadvar, you have members of Stormcloak to wrangle with; conversely, you'll be attacked by the better equipped Imperial soldiers if you side with Ralof. Ultimately, though, you'll need to acquire the Helgen Keep Key one way or another and make your way through this area all the same.

In the first room, you'll have your hands freed so you can walk around and learn to loot bodies (and chests if you're with Hadvar). Procure your first pieces of equipment and weapons and equip them. Actions like sprinting, swinging your weapon, or basically anything that requires physical exertion will zap your stamina gauge. Keep an eye on it at all times to make sure it isn't fully exhausted in the middle of combat.

Follow your cohort of choice to a room that can be plundered for a variety of objects, including really helpful consumables like Potion of Minor Magicka, Potion of Minor Healing, or Potion of Minor Stamina. There are also things like Salt Pile, Tankards, etc. that you can pick up, but keep in mind that each item (including weapons and armor) adds an encumbrance value. In other words, pick up items you need and discard stuff you don't.

The torture chamber introduces you to the wonderful art of lockpicking. You can learn more about it in its appropriate Lockpicking section. Successfully picking the center cell's lock rewards you with some Gold coins, a Potion of Minor Magicka, and a book. If you're keen on needling more locks in the future, you'll want to search the rest of the room for more lockpicks.

Continuing on, you'll encounter more humanoids to kill, but as you delve deeper into the dark, damp caves you'll fight Frostbite Spiders, which drop Frost Venom, be able to loot egg sacs for their Spider Eggs and Skeever Tails. The latter is relinquished from the sacs hanging from the ceiling. Your companion will express hesitation in facing off against the slumbering bear ahead, but she isn't tough at all and yields Bear Claws and a Bear Pelt.

From this point, the exit is just a skip away, as you head into the overworld map of Skyrim and finish this beginning quest.

Before The Storm:
No matter who you emerge from Helgen with your next destination lies in Riverwood, a town not far from here. Both companions have some relatives there that you can speak to and generously receive supplies from. En route to town, you can speak with your companion and learn more about the dragon and the background of his corresponding faction, at which point he attempts to -- albeit not forcibly -- recruit you to join the faction's collective cause. You can choose sides later; for now, continue to Riverwood.
Tip: Skyrim is a vast, vast place that you can easily get lost in. Your interactive world map is a your life support in times of finding your destination.

Guardian Stones stand just off the path as you head towards Riverwood -- they're hard to miss. You can inspect them and choose only one (rogue, warrior, or mage for the moment) to receive a certain percentage boost in your learning speed. Obviously, go with what your race specializes in. For example, a Breton would benefit most from the Mage Stone, which blesses the person with accelerated learning of magic skills.

In Riverwood, seek out the person you are supposed to by following the person marker on the compass. Either party is incredibly hospitable and will provide you with a number of supplies free of charge. Take what you need (or take them all) and continue to probe the person of interest for any morsels of information. Eventually, the next task comes up: Talk to the Jarl in Whiterun, a sort of central location in all of Skyrim.

Riverwood is worth exploring for a few sidequests. Specifically, you can pick up The Golden Claw and miscellaneous tasks that include saving or sabotaging a burgeoning romance in the little town. The latter can be picked up by speaking with Sven, a bard that frequents the Sleeping Giant Inn. There's an alchemy lab in the Sleeping Giant Inn that you are free to use as well.

Tip: Red text means that you are about to do something unlawful and that could lead to unwanted repercussions.

In the Riverwood Trader, Lucan is more than willing to offload one of his burdens upon you, tasking you with retrieving The Golden Claw. Of course, he rapidly assures that you will receive form of remuneration for your efforts.

When you're ready to set off for Whiterun, leave Riverwood and follow the quest marker. Outside the periphery of Whiterun are a number of farms, stables, and a meadery that balk at outsiders. You can see the high stone walls surrounding Whiterun; when you reach the entrance, a guard stops you and tells you access into the city is limited to official business right now. Normally, you choose between persuasion, bribery, or intimidation, but in this case you can simply inform the guard that Riverwood seeks aid. He lets you pass without a hitch.

Tip: In Whiterun, you'll find a Shrine of Talos that, when activated, will cure you of all diseases. You'll find many other Daedric Shrines all over.

Find the Dragonsreach, one of the higher buildings in the northeast most corner of town. There are boundless steps leading to it. Any news of the dragon you may bring will win the Jarl's rapt attention. The quest ends as soon as the Jarl decides to dispatch help to Riverwood.

Bleak Falls Barrow

• Talk to Farengar
• Retrieve the Dragonstone
• Deliver the Dragonstone to Farengar

Walkthrough

If you partook in The Golden Claw earlier, you will have already visited this area and also procured the item that Farengar requests. Speak with Farengar and, if you already have the Dragonstone in your possession, you'll have the dialogue option to show him. If not, you will need to proceed to the Bleak Falls Temple (preferably with The Golden Claw quest ready in your log as well) and wade deep into its cavernous depths to find the Dragonstone.

Head toward the snowy mountains to soon encounter bandits and enemy archers. Head toward Bleak Falls Barrow and enter the decrepit Bleak Falls Temple. The interior is sparsely populated at the moment, but you'll find plenty of Skeever carcasses to pick at, as well as a locked chest on which to practice your lockpicking. After putting down the first two bandits, you won't encounter another until deeper in. Be sure to loot the burial urns for some Gold pieces and relieve the shelves of some potions as well.

You reach a room with a lever and a gate. When you initially try to pull the lever, you'll initially be met by a shower of arrows -- obviously an unintended result. This mini-puzzle requires you to flip the three pillars on the left side to match the correct sequence of the pillars displayed above the gate. The pillar in the middle has fallen to the ground next to the lever. The correct sequence is: snake, snake, swordfish. Pull the lever once you've set this pattern to open the gate.

Reading the Thief book ahead improves your Lockpicking a bit. Descend the spiral stairs to the cobweb-filled area below; be sure to pick up the Scroll of Fireball. Hack through the thick wall of cobwebs and proceed to meet up with Arvel the Swift. You discover that this grandmaster thief has been captured by a Frostbite Spider, but managed to mortally wound and significantly weaken the giant arachnid. Finish it off and speak to Arvel. Before freeing him, inquire about the golden claw.

The double-crossing scum will try to run away, screwing you out of the claw. Take him down and loot his body for the Golden Claw. You begin to head into the crypt, from which draugrs emerge and attack. These are stronger foe than the bandits you've been seeing, so avoid dealing with too many at once.

Time the swinging axes and sprint through the corridor as soon as they retract. In these tighter spaces, you'll encounter more draugrs, but notice that the slick, iridescent liquid on the ground -- it's flammable. Lure the draugrs over it and light it afire either with fire magic or knock one of the flame lanterns onto the oil. One more Draugr pops out from the coffin; slay it and loot the chest for Gold and a Scroll of Hysteria. Pull the chain nearby to access another part of the temple. This area is prime farming ground for Glowing Mushrooms, which can be harvested from the walls as you come to them.

The linear path leads outside to a small waterfall, the base of which features a chest and corpses to loot. The path eventually takes you to a restless draugr, a slightly sturdier variant that might require more effort to slay. The door ahead leads to Bleak Falls Sanctum. More draugrs, but there's also more oil to help you out.

Through the iron doors at the top of the stairs, you walk down the hall to the stone door ahead. On the stone door are a set of rings with symbols and a keyhole in the shape of the Golden Claw emblazoned on the door. You can rotate each ring individually and match the engravings on the Golden Claw itself. Inspect the Golden Claw in the items menu to clearly see the correct order. The solution, from bottom to top: owl, hummingbird, bear. Afterwards, put the Golden Claw in place to open the door.

Move towards the engravings on the Word Wall to learn Unrelenting Force, at which point a Draugr Overlord appears. Use the uneven terrain to your advantage; the Overlord has a hard time of keeping up with you if you alternate between a high point and low point, using a bow or long-range magic to deal damage. Loot the Dragonstone from its dead body and take the stairs up to be led back outside to Skyrim.

Hitman Blood Money Walkthrough

One of the great things about the Hitman series of games is how many different ways you can complete missions. This guide will only give you one particular way in case you are stuck on what to do, but will allow you to figure out the other ways that they can be finished. There are plenty of ways for each mission and there is no right or wrong way as long as you don’t get caught.
Death of a Showman

Once the opening scene is over, make your way across the pier and hop up to the road. Since this is a training level, just about everything is told you what to do, so following the onscreen instructions is your best bet. Follow the road past the car and head to the iron gate. Wait there and a guard will show up. Talk to him and then step through and enter the door to the left. Creep through the Gift Shop here and look to see the two guards outside the window. Equip your coin and toss it through the open window. When the guards go after it, head through the door they were at and continue forward to the next door that leads to the theatre. Once you are inside, sneak up on the guard that is torturing the man there and use your firer wire on him to take him down. Once he is dead, grab the pistol and make your way to the right and climb the red trellis.
Hop over the railing to jump to the other side and make your way to the next room. Pick the lock and then step back. Equip the pistol and pop the two guards that come through the door. Drag their bodies over to each of the storage bins and drop them in there. Next, hide in the closet and a chemist will enter the room. Hop out and take him down with your fiber wire. Take his clothes and the key card and head out of the room and make a left to the Atrium. Use the key card to open the door and follow the walk way along until you come to an open room on the left. Grab the pistol and then place it in the green tray. Pick it up and continue back along the walkway until you come to a guard. He will frisk you and then let you enter the next door to the control room. Drop the tray after you close the door and grab your gun. Hop on top of the elevator and equip the fiber wire to strangle the guard below.
Once he is dead, drop down and exit the vator. Head to the end of the hall and smash the electrical box to shut off the lights. Continue through the room until you reach the washroom at the far end. Enter it and equip the pistol and grab the guard taking a leak. Use him as a shield as you go into the next room and clear it out of enemies. There will be more than a few enemies, so make sure your shots hit their targets. Once everyone is dead, climb the ladder there and grab the sniper rifle case. After the scene, use the sniper scope to find the three guards outside and pop them all through the open window. Once they are dead, drop the rifle and head through the door beside the room you are in. Go to the left and climb down the drainpipe and then head to the far end and enter the office door. Grab the syringe from the case and head up the stairs. Wait for the secretary to finish her conversation and then the guard will go back to the window. Sneak up on him and push him over and then enter the secretary’s office.
Use the syringe on her drink and then quickly hide in the closet. Wait for her to come back and drink it and she will die. You looked up her dress didn’t you? Shame on you. Enter the swing King’s office and pull out the picture to show him. Once you do, pop him and then hop out the window. Make a left and grab the bombs there along with the detonator and enter the next window. Place a bomb on the winch and look below to see the guards. Blow the bomb using the detonator and you should have nailed most of the guards if not all. If not, head down the stairs and finish them off. Once the room is clear, head through the exit to complete the mission.

A Vintage Year

Objectives: Kill Don Fernando Delgado, Kill Manuel Delgado, Escape Vineyard
Not one of my favorite missions, but first things first however. As you enter the mission, make your way to the right and look on the map to see where the guard there is. He should just be walking around the corner, so run up behind him and take him down. Drag his body into the bushes and take his uniform. Now you can walk around the village pretty much unnoticed. Head for the main gate where you started and go through the gate. Continue to the building directly across from you and enter the door there. There will be a guard directly in front of you that you can push over the ledge, just make sure there is no one around. Once he is dead, place a bomb on the winch to the right of where he was and head down the stairs. Stand at the bottom or near the bottom and wait there for Manuel Delgado to enter the small area beside the stairs.
When he does, detonate the bomb and the barrels will crush him. Continue down the stairs and make a left and enter the door on the right. Follow the hallway around until you come to the room with large casks in the wall. Go to the center one and open it to reveal a secret door. Head through it and enter the small room directly ahead with the lockers and bed. There will be a worker uniform there to take. Put it on when no one is looking and then make a left out of the room. Continue through the lab and eventually past the elevator to a hallway leading right and a door there. Open the door and there will be a VIP guard there. Fiber wire him and take his uniform. Head up the stairs and continue through the door ahead of you and keep going straight until you come outside. Once you are outside, make a right and go around the corner of the house and pass the front. Continue to the far side of the house and make another right around the corner there. In the corner, there will be a drain pipe for you to climb.
Do so when no one is looking and climb off to the left. Make your way around the roof and enter the open window there. When you are inside, Fernando will come into the room on the left. Wait for him to enter and he will sit in his chair to play music. When he does, sneak up on him and kill him. You can then toss his body over the railing and grab his gun. Head back to the window you climbed through and make a right when you are outside. Drop off the roof and walk behind the building across the wooden platforms. Follow the path all the way down and there will be a worker there looking at Fernando’s body. You can either take him out and take his uniform or ignore him and walk through the hanger and make your way to the plane and escape the mission.

Curtains Down

Objectives: Kill Alvaro D’Alvade, Kill Richard Delahunt, Escape Opera
As soon as the mission starts, head inside the opera and make a left to talk to the receptionist behind the counter. Once you do and get the gun, enter the washroom that is located to the right of the coat check. Wait in there for a repairman to enter and take him out. Take his clothes and dump the body into the bin there. Once you are changed, head back out and head for the door to the left of the coat check. Head down the stairs and go through the large set of doors there. Continue to the far end of the room and then toggle the light switch so that you can pick the lock on the door.
Go through and continue down another set of stairs. Run forward through this long room and go through the door on the right half way through. Follow the stairs up and you will come out to a hallway with a few cops. Make a left and head around the corner. Enter the second door on the left and hide in the closet inside. Wait for Alvaro’s acting partner to enter his room (this can take quite a while) and he will do a little showing off. Once he leaves, exit the closest and replace the gun on the desk. Jump back in the closet and wait for him to come and go again. Once he is gone, exit the room and head for the double doors across the hall and to the left. Enter them and make your way up the ramps to the left. Head all the way to the top and you will be above the stage.
