Is there Under-Water TreasureLoot?

Post » Sun Jun 03, 2012 11:59 pm

The only treasure I have found that was submerged in water a short tunnel like path submerged in water in a cave. But is their any treasure or loot in the actual rivers and such?

I hope their is, it would give my Argonian a little boost in the importance of racial abilities

I've found a chest or two sitting in some rivers . . . i believe one was under/near a bridge, and another near some rapids/a waterfall

There is this: http://content2.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim%3aPilgrim%27s_Trench

Treasure Map X will also guide you to a sunken chest

I have found one treasure chest at the bottom of a waterfall, but for the life of me I can't remember exactly where that was. I believe it was near a small bandit camp, but that doesn't really help since there are so many. Below a waterfall is always a good spot to check. Try to think of it like if you were the game developer... Where would you put the loot?

The best way to find underwater loot is to get in the water and swim down a little, but leave your vision like half underwater/half above it. Do it right and you can see everything underwater as clear as above it, before it gets cloudy as you go under.

There is a sunken ship in the Sea of Ghosts with a master chest in it. It's deep enough any non argonian will drown without a spell/potion. So there is some stuff out there, but your racial still svcks compared to the others.

One of the thieves guild optional quests involves swimming out to the middle of a lake then diving down to retrieve an item from a chest in a sunken rowboat. Holding your breath is the easy part compared to actually finding the boat though.

Theres a quest you can pick up in Solitude (actually 2 eventually lead you to this same locations, so its good to do them together) and the "boss chest" is underwater, but its not too deep that you would need water breathing. You could also try swimming around to get the drop on some of the enemies, and there are quite a few of them there. Talk to Jeera-Ra (I think thats his name, he's Argonian) and Althor (the executioner/jailer), but start on Jeera's first

There are a lot more things (shipwrecks, lootable corpses, sunken containers) in Skyrim than there was in Oblivion. There's a problem though: Slaughterfish. On the one hand the developers finally added underwater treasure, but on the other hand they took away our ability to defend ourselves while getting it. Nice move, Bethesda.

Theres quite few sunken ships allover Skyrim, lakes seas and the likes. my argonian did alot of diving, not that there is alot of uberloot there, but there are chests and stuff to be found yes. Slaughterfish didnt seem to agree though :D

There are places in Blackreach which can only be gotten to underwater.

There is absolutely no underwater content save for a few generic chests.
Chests arent interesting because they never have anything unique.
Quite dissapointing.

edit: I did not know this about Blackreach, must load Skyrim and find hidden places.

There is quite a bit of loot under water. Some are even part of misc.quests.

Most are just like any other chest, but here and there you'll find some pretty good stuff. One of the treasure maps leads you to an underwater chest.

Limited number of real unique items in the game, if you have an mesh why don't make multiple copies instead of having one you hide so well that 99.9% of the players will not find it except reading of it first.

I agree with your statement merari ...there is none specific loot assigned to underwater chests or places in the game it is pure random things like any regular stuff on the surface...

I love how people give false info to people based on what they've done in their game.

Just because YOU haven't found anything "unique" underwater doesn't mean there isn't anything worth finding there.

Like I said above, there are at least 2 quests that I can think of that have to do with underwater chests. And there is a treasure map that also leads to an underwater chest.

Most deep water has at least one chect in it. Even smallish pools. It seems a little rarer in rivers though. But I make a policy of always diving where possible. There are even whole ships sunk in the bigger lakes.

plus the Burden spell, that was one of my favorite tactics in Oblivion.

It is so far disappointing. Nothing like in Morrowind.

Sure, there is no complete lack of it, but so far nothing where I had to use my self-enchanted Ring of Waterbreathing or where I had to plan for a longer dive.

I wish it had a bit more of it in it than the occasional "chest in a puddle".

Well, there's always Nordic Barnacles and Slaughterfish Eggs to harvest underwater too.

The one thing about diving that annoys me is when you come up, if you're argonian or have somethine enchanted for waterbreathing you still gasp for air when you surface. meh.

The sunken ship in the sea of ghosts and underwater areas in at least two dwemer ruins have required me to use water breathing potions. I actually drowned the first time I went to loot that ship.
