The Elder Scrolls: 10 Crazy Secrets (That You Totally Have To Check Out)

The greatest secrets Tamriel has to offer!

By Tom Butler /

As vast as they are densely packed with things to do, The Elder Scrolls series has long been known for its massive array of secrets and easter eggs hidden in every entry. Similarly to Fallout, these secrets help to not only reward curious explorers, but also break up the generally serious narrative with a healthy dose of humour. The world of Nirn (the planet on which every Elder Scrolls game is set) is pretty weird, even for an RPG setting. Filled with cunning demons and bizarre creatures, the Elder Scrolls series doesn't take place in your typical high fantasy setting, taking influence from cultures across the world, including Nordic, Medieval, Roman and Ancient Japanese. Because of this, the more serious take on epic fantasy is broken up by mischievous characters and witty dialogue that makes the world feel a lot more like a real place. This list takes a look at ten of the craziest hidden secrets and easter eggs from Bethesda's Elder Scrolls games. With awesome pop culture references, mini side-stories that are easy to miss, and strange locations off the beaten track, each of these secrets are more than enough reason to revisit Tamriel. Please note that some of these entries may contain mild spoilers regarding certain side-missions and main quest stories.
