10 Skyrim Easter Eggs, Secrets & References You Totally Missed

4. Double Entendre Potions

You may not have read all the books in Skyrim but I’m betting you read The Lusty Argonian Maid. The saucy erotica isn’t the only cheeky reference or secret in the game, though.

Take a trip to the castle of Faldar’s Tooth, which you may remember for its wolf fighting ring, and you can come across what appears to be a bathroom. But this is no ordinary bathroom. It’s a bathroom the developers clearly giggled to themselves repeatedly while populating.

Scour the shelves in this area and you’ll find a copy of the Lusty Argonian Maid, beside a Potion of Enhanced Stamina, and a Potion of the Warrior...

Which gets a lot more funny when I explain that this particular potion fortifies your one-handed skill...

There’s also a bottle of Skooma, Skyrim’s booze, and a Potion of Resist Fire if that Elsweyr Fondue just isn’t sitting right.
