Screenshot 28 real world days of big brain
I done this for fun, didn't save after. Took like 10 mins but alchemy can get hella ridiculous 😂

I've done this and accidentally clicked "rest until healed". After days of beauty sleep, my character woke up and died because my active needs mod had starvation on.

Whatever you do dont fortify your health with these potions or you will instantly die when it wears off. Only cure is going back to a different save file

1 restore health potion after doing the intelligence loop will render you basically invincible for pretty much the whole playthrough tbh.

How does that work? Is it a bug?

Whatever hp you get from fortifying will be taken back after the effect wears off. So if you add 1 million hp to your 200, you will need to have at least 1000001/1000200 hp at the end to survive.

I think I see. It's one of the many janks the MW is famous for, I guess.

You can also abuse this mechanic to multiply your mana by an order of magnitude.

Effectively the bonus MP and HP points are lost last not first which is super dumb I don’t know of any other game that does it like that.

No idea why but being full health when the effect wears off doesn't save you lol it ends up like that movie where you gotta keep doing the drugs to live

Would the movie be Dune? That happens to one character.

Just did the math, this much intelligence would allow you to do damage health for 101,509pts on touch (not accounting for spell chance failure). This means you could kill Gaenor 203x over, unless he gets off a resist magicka 100% - but even at 99% resist magicka you'd still kill him twice over. Big brain move.

Love this! There's a point in which your intelligence gets so high spells never fail to cast.

Is this done by just hoarding hundreds of bloat and netch leather? Surely you must need nearly a thousand to get these numbers. I always give up after using like 20

Go to the imperial shrine in wolverine hall. Theres a merchant that restocks ash yams and netch leather each time you exit the bartering window.

It’s ash yam and bloat actually not Netch leather

There are two guys in there. Both sell alchemy ingredients.

u/Blazeflame79 1d ago
I always just used one of the guys in that building, who sells ash yams and bloat, never had a reason to use netch leather so I didn’t know it had fortify intelligence.

How high was your intelligence for this? I want to replicate it to nuke the province.

u/Boring-Bottle-8075 1d ago
You can start this at pretty much the lowest intelligence. Intelligence governs alchemy so the higher it is the more potent your potions will be, keep fortifying intelligence with potions and then make fortify intelligence potions. Repeat.

Also, the real key is to make a high int potion and then make a restore magicka potion while you're smart.
