Skyrim - Crimson Nirnroot Location Guide

[kelsey4020]

thanks 4 this awesome video helped a lot

[SpritelyPyro]

@kelsey4020 Good. I'm glad it helped.

[lawlessSaturn]

dumbest quest ever spent about 2 hours finding 30 then while on my way out i found about 15 extra wtf is up with that

[NLTerroR1987]

where is black reach you cant see it on the movie great



[SpritelyPyro]

@NLTerroR1987 If you don't know where Blackreach is, you can't even have this quest.......

[Capri557]

im osrry i just couldnt watch a 14 minute video sorry its too long

[hasmanking]

before i done the quest i used 4 of them for alchemy and the i done the second part of the quest where you have to find 30 of them so when it started it said i already found 4 but when you go to the lady she wants all thirty and i need 4 more to give can the plants respawn because if they run out and i took them all then im in deep shit.

[SpritelyPyro]

@hasmanking There are more than 30 in Blackreach if you can find them. Alternatively, the plants do respawn. It does take a long time however.

[JungleKitteh]

I got 25 by myself, 1 from help from you...it would really help if on your map, you hovered your pointer over the placenames like 'Skyrim, War room, Runation, etc' because it almost all looks the exact same.

Anyway, helpful tips for CN-It glows white when everything else glows blue and yellowish. It also makes a high-pitched sound when you're near it.

[Serban93RIP]

Thumbs UP for the epic music! Coldplay is as awesome as Skyrim! And by the way, good video, was quite helpful :D

[SpritelyPyro]

@Serban93RIP Thanks, I'm glad it helped you!

[ZombieDistortion]

I'll thumbs up this video but the way you made the guide, I found my self wondering like a dumb ass from time to time,

[SpritelyPyro]

@ZombieDistortion And how would you suggest I make it sir?

[scottvalentine808]

Also thers a high pitched sound that grows as you get closer to individual plants

[tdipower24]

i started collecting them randomly and still hit 30 afther a while, so i asume that i'm not soooo lucky and that there are e few more than 30 :)

[zachhasswagshoes]

Good Music :D



[FadedMagz]

79adamski Iv seen about 31 so yea...

[79adamski]

i accidently used 1 in alchemy and need another 1 is there more than 30?

[SpritelyPyro]

@79adamski Yes, there are more than 30.

[414CANITO]

@LyzandroNeto i seen that same giant!, but i was like eff that i got my hands full wit out a giant huntin my ass down

[MonstroC4]

19 people like Dark Souls.

[Shendrexm]

Thanks so much

[xxBlinked182xx]

Thanks for the help.

[lasercanon9]

whats the name of the song? great work btw really helpfull

[MrMiguellite5000]

The first crimson ninroot in the video was my last

[LyzandroNeto]

Okay... I was looking for this plants, when i saw a giant. Is this normal?

[SpritelyPyro]

@LyzandroNeto Yup.

[Shadowblood66]

There is a total of 50 of crimson nirnroots to be found in Blackreach.

They also respawn if you wait a long time. I go there regulary to pick them to use them for potions. They can be used in the SAME way as Nirnroot for alchemy! So that saves me a lot of time.

[PtOrangEstudios]

needed 1 more. was the first one in the video *facepalm*

[SpritelyPyro]

@PtOrangEstudios LOL, nice one.

[Redredred241]

Just finished it! Thanks alot

[dasheet111]

I got like 15 before I searched this video and every time I find a crimson root it feels like I've found a million dollars.

[supermonkeyCL]

Dude thank you for the video

[SpritelyPyro]

@supermonkeyCL You're welcome.

[PingaloBill]

I've found 37. So there are at least 37.

[LeGITP3NGU1N]

Really helpful!!

[MrPieman232]

. . . so just to get all 30 and you get a freaking book? . . . that doesent seem worth it.

[SpritelyPyro]

@MrPieman232 If you actually watched the video, you`d see that I got the ability Sinderion`s Serendipity which while not good for most people, is ridiculously amazing for anyone who uses alchemy.

[tankt202Ot]

thanks SOOOOO much helped alot!

[ShaunB893]

Thanks for that. 1 thing does any1 know if the crimson nirnroot respawns

[SpritelyPyro]

@ShaunB893 I can't find the exact number anywhere but most plants it takes 10 in game days. I think rare plants like crimson nirnroot take 30 days though.

[flopsi3]

i dont know where to find the second crimson that you said you took so if you please make a video or something and show me where is it cuz i dident understed what quest or waht ever

[SpritelyPyro]

@flopsi3 I mean, I clearly showed it on the map. But if somehow you still can't find it, just travel to the right as soon as you enter Blackreach (assuming you enter where I did) until you simply find the stream of water I showed in the video. Again I don't see how you can't find it seeing as the video shows it just fine.

[flopsi3]

maybe im blind XD

[amycatherineS]

Thanks! This really helped.

[ducky9991]

yeah... what if i ate one? o.O

[SpritelyPyro]

@ducky9991 There are more than 30 in Blackreach, you just have to find them for yourself. Alternatively, you could wait in the for them to respawn. I think it takes 30 days in game for them to respawn but I'm not 100% sure.

[nickweelvl]

im searching for hours i have 29 of them but i've eated one :(

[jaket282]

fucking hate this quest, i found 18/30 on my own then a shitcunt falmer gloomlurker killed me and i lost a load

[ThePureOwnage100]

Thanks so much, really helped

[damodred11]

LOL turns out the LAST one I needed was the first one you showed lol AWESOME XD

[SpritelyPyro]

@damodred11 Haha, nice!

[TeddyWestSideRR]

is there only 30 there or is there plenty but you only need to get 30 of them?

[SpritelyPyro]

@TeddyWestSideRR I wouldn't say plenty but there are more than 30. You only need 30.

[TeddyWestSideRR]

@SpritelyPyro ohk thanks

[Alkahsu]

hard to follow....You start walking, the screen fades and you are at the ninroot. Instead of showing it on the map it would have been a lot more helpful to show the whole path you took

[SpritelyPyro]

@Alkahsu If you wanted to watch a 57 minute video then sure!

[ghostx325]

Thank you!!! The one person who actually showed where they were !

[gamergeeko]

What if I ate one?

[game12342]

okay, as soon i got this quest it said -10 on my litltle quest guide, and now i have to find 40

[pwnn00bsandblowd00ds]

not bad. I wish that you would have shown the map on all of them

[SpritelyPyro]

@pwnn00bsandblowd00ds I did?

[pwnn00bsandblowd00ds]

@SpritelyPyro There's a few that don't such as the one at 3:19 before you kill the falmers. But no worries, the guide is actually really great. I was missing like five and it was driving me crazy. The guide really helped. Thanks dude!

[SpritelyPyro]

@pwnn00bsandblowd00ds Oh, my mistake. Glad it helped.

[SoberSenses]

thankyou, i only needed a few that were so hidden i'm not surprised i didn't find them :D

[tehrealjake]

Are there any inside of the rooms like the war quarters?

[SpritelyPyro]

@tehrealjake I never checked any of the room to be honest. I'd assume not though.

[harmany08]

i ate the 1st nirnroot i picked up. is there anymore or did i just skrew myself?

[SpritelyPyro]

@harmany08 You're fine. There are more than 30 nirnroots in Blackreach. You'll just have to find one on your own.

[harmany08]

@SpritelyPyro cool, thanks

[Riplee86]

Perfect! With your guide and a slight detour, i scored the last 4!

[PflGlace]

Time to go sound whoring

[redjonson]

waste of time.



[loopz321]

damn! 30 is too much! spent 5 hours wandering around blackreach. 

[Mlutz40snw]

I found the last ones with your help, thanks a lot. :-D

[SpritelyPyro]

@Mlutz40snw Your welcome! :D

[bobmarleyownz]

That damn sound is sooooo anoying

[SpritelyPyro]

@bobmarleyownz ?

[XyloXz]

a little piece of advice: don't cut so much in the video, it gets too confusing

[SpritelyPyro]

@XyloXz The video was 57 minutes long. I had to cut a lot.

[johnnyzulu]

Sorry for the mess on last post. Your video helped out thank you.

[johnnyzulu]

Thanks the one I was missing was you

[AnonymousIsWorld]

YES! I thought I wouldn't be able to do this because before I got some and I think I dropped them because they were worthless, but THANKS! got it

[Extinctiuhn]

Liked and favorited, so that I will never waste time in black reach again on any of my new characters. stupid nirnroots D:

[SubjectXer0]

Thanks for the help! I hate fetch quests, but when they make you find a crazy number of things its even worse.

[mikemess92]

Thanks. Helped out a lot.

[SpritelyPyro]

@mikemess92 Good. I'm glad it helped!

[RawRib]

I found 15, gave up and found your video. You're the man!

[SpritelyPyro]

@RawRib Haha, thanks!

[C4V7R00L]

this quest is a pain in the ass

[trop1cal5k1ttles]

what is the song at 09:00?

please do reply :)

[DrPwoz]

@trop1cal5k1ttles Fix You - Coldplay

[Aleksa21111]

By uesp there are 41+3 just for extra info.

[ElderScrollsFTWFTW]

Duplicate when "using alchemy skill" whats that

[Aleksa21111]

@ElderScrollsFTWFTW

Making potions

[ElderScrollsFTWFTW]

@Aleksa21111 aye, thanks bcos i didnt quite get what "using alchemy skill" meant

[DEADxxVIRUS]

are there just 30 of them ? cause i think i drop some wen i was doing a diff quest

[Pinoylegend707]

Thanks so much! After 25 or so nirnroots I had a hard time finding the remaining 5 I needed. This helped a lot. Thanks again! :D

[dirtybussines]

i killed him and can't do the quest ):

[j24004968]

@SpritelyPyro i didnt have time tp watch it all so i was hoping that someone here could tell me if doing all of this work would be worth it.

[CRACOVIA1515]

What do you get from collecting all of the nimroots?

[SpritelyPyro]

@CRACOVIA1515 I'd advise you to direct your attention to the end of the video.

[070romek]

OMFG you are the best man i never would find all these stupid flowers

[j8ster]

i ate one at the begining, what should i do???

[trop1cal5k1ttles]

@j8ster some guy on another vid said they respawn after 30 days

[dannystoll84]

up to 20 after about an hour D:

[youregonnagofarkid2]

took me fifteen minutes, idk what you guys are talking about lololol

[turtonmatt1]

@youregonnagofarkid2 ur a gay cunt

[UsurperOfThrones]

Hardest mission in the game.

[stonedzombie22]

fucking hell i just spent 3 hours finding all these fucking ninroots i dont now what that says about me but still

[crazedmilkshake]

Spent hours looking for the last one, was the first one you show! Thanks!

[wolflover108009]

hey, on the 5th crimson nirnroot that you showed us what were those flying shiny things you were hidding from, sorry new player

[SpritelyPyro]

@wolflover108009 Wisps.

[wolflover108009]

@SpritelyPyro oh ok thanks

[rubenmadridista1]

whyyyyyyyyyyy is this place sooooo fuuckkinng BIIIG?? WHY???!! I EFIN H8 IT!!! :'(

[aghostnhere1234]

thank you for this it was very helpful

[MrIHaveTourettes]

Back off of SpritelyPyro guys, if you can't find the place then your a braindead moron. He shows you the position oif the nirnroot on the local map and even looks around the area to give you landmarks to determine where it's at. I have found this guide most helpful =) Thanks Sprite.

[SpritelyPyro]

@MrIHaveTourettes Thank you sir.

[homusalonus]

This Sinderion fellow that's mentioned it wouldn't be the same prick from The Elder Scrolls 4 that had us collecting 100 fecking Nirnroots from all over Cyrodiil would it? I'm gonna find that feckers grave, re-animate his sorry carcass and then shove all the Nirnroot I can find up his ass whilst making him take several arrows to the knee!

[SpritelyPyro]

@homusalonus It is indeed the same man from Oblivion. Although he's dead now, so it's all good.

[oboomtingo]

Thanks theres 1 inside the silent ruin aswell

[DesertedBaby]

Thanks for this.

[SpritelyPyro]

@DesertedBaby No problem.

[MrBkelly21]

And finding shit on the map like that is pretty shitty, its a big place.

[MrBkelly21]

I totally agree with scooda... dumbass.

[SpritelyPyro]

@MrBkelly21 Ok, just for you, I will upload the video sped up instead of cut. Instead of a small fade between different nirnroot locations, you will see a blur of an image, as speeding up something that is approximately 56 minutes long doesn't work properly. Again, thanks for being so polite on a guide that I made only to help people, expecting nothing in return. Your welcome.

[nicklasekegren]

ur not really showing how to get there u keep skipping clips

[gangkip]

Damn! I got like all of 'em but i used 3 for alchemy, now i cant find more and waiting 10 in game days dont work for me , at least not when i do the waiting thingy, some1 plz help.

[1Life4Death]

did you seriously found all of them??? cuz i found 40.....took hours but still got 40

[SpritelyPyro]

@1Life4Death There are more than 30 in Blackreach, however you only need 30 for the quest.

[Adraline]

Pretty sure that this is the dumbest quest in the game. Sinderion probably killed himself out of boredom. The walkthrough made it tolerable though, so thanks.

[damn606]

why is it that i dont have "here are the nirnroots" dialogue?

[SpritelyPyro]

@damn606 No idea what you mean.

[Blue9Flame]

@damn606 Oh I see the problem you have. I thought I had collected 30 nirnroots when I talked to her, but I actually had 29, and the quest for collecting nirnroots was still complete. So when I talked to her, I couldn't see the dialogue. I had to go back and collect one more. Then I could see the dialogue.

[Blue9Flame]

Thanks man! This vid was really helpful!

[SpritelyPyro]

@Blue9Flame Glad you liked it.

[Scooda912]

Dude why u couldn't just speed it up instead of making cuts between each plant?? Its so confusing because you just pop up in different areas.

[SpritelyPyro]

@Scooda912 I brought up the map every single time I found a nirnroot. If I sped it up between each nirnroot, I would be speeding through 56 minutes of footage meaning that it would be going so fast, you wouldn't be able to tell where I was. I honestly don't see at all how this was confusing when I clearly showed where I was on the map each time.

[AwesomeOWidow]

ty



[SpritelyPyro]

@AwesomeOWidow yw

[nugget2461]

@koenigsbomber i'm pretty sure there are 40

[guepardomorado88]

BTW hax: the crimson nirnroots grow back. When you can't find more just wait around a while.

[SpritelyPyro]

@guepardomorado88 Yes, if you wait 10 days in game time, they will all come back. It's a little cheap but it's a good strategy for the lazy.

[H0NDACBR600RR]

@SpritelyPyro whats the first song name ??? plz

[SpritelyPyro]

@H0NDACBR600RR Ahh sorry, I forgot to put the names in the bottom left like I usually do. It's "Life in Technicolour" by Coldplay.

[H0NDACBR600RR]

@SpritelyPyro whats the music starts at 01:00 not "Life in Technicolour"

[SpritelyPyro]

@H0NDACBR600RR The music that starts at 1:00 is Life in Technicolour

[Koenigsbomber]

LOL, I have 31???

[SpritelyPyro]

@Koenigsbomber Haha, I think there are actually more than 30 Nirnroots to be found in Blackreach :D

[mummified69]

@spiritelypyro they are used for making one of the best armours in the game

[sdeary1]

another coldplay fan :D

[SpritelyPyro]

@sdeary1 Their new album is so awesome!

[WolfeStar566599]

thanks Jarrod couldn't find the last one :D

[mummified69]

also in the room by the crimson root is a daedra heart :) and thanks for the vid.

[SpritelyPyro]

@mummified69 What are the Daedra hearts used for anyway? I see people asking all the time about where they can find them.

[MikeAK147]

@SpritelyPyro When you get to 90 in Smithing, you can create Daedric Armour/Weapons, you need Ebony Ore and Daedra Heart to craft them.

There is another free one in Jorravskr (or whatever) in Whiterun in the captains room in the basement, also Enthir sells them in the college.

[MikeAK147]

@SpritelyPyro

Tip for a lot of hearts... (if you have the cash): Buy the two heart from Enthir, quicksave the game, kill him, then quickload, for some reason this resets Enthirs stock, he also has his money reset.

This works for any vendor and is a quick way to sell stuff if you have a lot to sell.

Thanks for the vid.

[SpritelyPyro]

@MikeAK147 And thank you for the tip :D

[ShoulinFunk]

@SpritelyPyro they are used along with ebony ignots and leather strips to make Daedra armor at a forge, they are also an ingredient, probably a good one at that

[SpritelyPyro]

@ShoulinFunk thanks

[sdeary1]

@SpritelyPyro add them to ebony to make daedra armour and weapons :)

[SquaidsIHave]

when i started the quest it said i had (-1,30) crimson nirnroot...can i still complete it?

[SpritelyPyro]

@SquaidsIHave It said you had negative nirnroots...? Wow that's strange. Well, assuming there is more than 30 crimson nirnroots in Blackreach, then yes. I have no idea whether there are exactly 30 or more than 30 but I'd assume that there are more. But I don't know if you can complete it or not. Sorry.

[MikeAK147]

@SquaidsIHave Same thing happened to me, I was moving the Nirnroots from a chest in my house, and must have done it too fast or something, now I have -7/30 Nirnroot in the quest. Thankfully I'm playing on the PC version, shall have to fix it on the console :)

[regreegg]

Good lad! Well done and thanks :)

[SpritelyPyro]

@regreegg No problem.

[Tsan110]

tnanks for the epic help really goooood job,it took u a lot of days to find them? :)

[SpritelyPyro]

@Tsan110 Nah, it only took me around an hour. I think the full record time was about 47 minutes :D

[Izaya981]

Hey man, thanks for posting this, HUGE help.

[SpritelyPyro]

@Izaya981 No problem. Glad I could help.
