đŽ Skyrim Survival: The Undead Apocalypse Begins
The script opens with the protagonist, Sir Digby, embarking on a survival challenge in a modded version of Skyrim set in 2024. The game world is facing a zombie apocalypse, and Sir Digby is equipped with over 1,000 mods to simulate this dire scenario. The protagonist starts at Windhelm docks with minimal supplies and experiences the local Nord racism. Unable to afford lodging at the tavern due to poverty, Sir Digby takes shelter in a stranger's house, setting the stage for the impending apocalypse. The first day begins with minor undead patrols and village raids, but the situation escalates rapidly, with cities under siege by the end of the week. Sir Digby's initial goal is to survive for seven days, and he prepares by acquiring the Mage Stone near Riverwood, which boosts his magic abilities. The weather and environment pose additional challenges, and Sir Digby must navigate through saber cats, wolves, and bandits to reach his destination.
đŠī¸ Thundering Magic and Bandit Battles
Sir Digby continues his survival journey, focusing on leveling up and improving his equipment. He encounters a saber cat and learns that his magic, particularly lightning spells, is effective against the wildlife. After obtaining the Mage Stone, he levels up and invests in stamina and conjuration, enhancing his summoned creatures. Sir Digby then faces a bandit camp, utilizing his improved magic and a summoned wolf to defeat the bandits. He sells his unused items in Riverwood and witnesses the aftermath of the undead invasion in White Run. Despite the chaos, he manages to level up again and acquires a new conjuration spell, spectral direwolf, which proves to be a powerful ally against the increasing undead threat.
đ° The Fall of White Run and the Massacre
The narrative intensifies as Sir Digby witnesses the fall of White Run to the undead. He engages in combat, assisting the guards and using his magic to fend off the invaders. Despite his efforts, the town succumbs to the onslaught, and Sir Digby is forced to retreat. He reflects on the previous day's events and decides to head towards Solitude, hoping its Imperial Garrison can withstand the apocalypse. Along the way, he encounters more undead and uses his magic and summoned wolf to survive. Sir Digby also levels up, improving his conjuration skills further and acquiring the Armor of Shadows perk, which enhances his summoned creatures' survivability.
đĄī¸ Questing in the Apocalypse
Sir Digby accepts a quest from Bellfor to hunt down bandits, offering a chance to rest and recover. He stealthily takes a guard's bed for the night, and the next day, he sets out to complete his mission. Despite the ongoing apocalypse, Sir Digby manages to slay the bandit leader and return to Bellfor, who rewards him and purchases his trade goods. However, the situation in Riverwood becomes dire as a dragon appears and attacks the village. Sir Digby uses his magic to assist the villagers, but the undead invasion proves too much for them. He decides to leave for Solitude, hoping to find safety there.
đš The Final Stand at Solitude
As Sir Digby approaches Solitude, he finds the city under siege by the undead. Despite the overwhelming odds, he joins the defense, using his magic and summoned wolf to aid the guards. The battle is fierce, and Sir Digby manages to take down several high-level undead, including a death lord. However, he is eventually overwhelmed and killed, marking the end of his survival challenge in Skyrim. The video concludes with a reflection on the possibility of saving Skyrim and a call to action for viewers to support future content.

Transcripts
the year is 2024 but here we are once
again playing Skyrim this time we're
experiencing the end of the world say
hello to the zombie apocalypse as I have
mounted over 1,000 mods to the game to
simulate a true survival horror
apocalypse and get an undead outbreak
sweeping through the lands this of
course massively increases the
difficulty of the base game this means
that instead of easily defeating level
one Bandits I will instead rapidly learn
the true me of hubris which would be a
first for a British person like myself
after all we've never lost a
war probably to make matters worse all
of the game's exploits have been fixed
and the world will only get more
uninhabitable before the end it is
impossible for me to win so my goal is
to see if I can survive just 7 Days our
hero today is the wonderful sir Digby he
is a Breen wizard with ears that
increase in size every time someone
likes the video so do you think the
lovely Digby can survive in this
nightmare for 7 days go into the comment
section and let me know let's dive on in
we begin on Day Zero before the outbreak
has started where our beloved Hero has
arrived at the Windhelm docks all we
have is a little bit of food a few coins
and a giant spear we're not exactly
equipped to survive a swinder nightclub
let alone the end of the world we enter
the city and get an ear full of local
Nord racism and I discover that I can't
afford to sleep at the tavern because
I'm so poor so instead I just squat
inside a stranger's house what a lovely
way to start the apocalypse we wake up
on the first day and the apocalypse has
begun it will start slow with minor
patrols of Undead and maybe the
occasional raid on small villages but by
the end of the week cities will be under
siege to prepare for this eventuality I
wanted to pick up the Mage Stone near
Riverwood so that meant I legged it onto
a carriage and spent almost all of our
gold to travel to White run the risk we
face is mostly level one wolves and
bandits but in this mod pack they can be
deadly have made my way over but the
weather is still not much better it's a
little bit chilly that's okay though but
my current first plan is very simple I'm
going to make my way over to the stones
of power as they should be able to give
me a nice upgrade and I also think
Riverwood is quite a safe area generally
level one Bandits nearby oh my God
that's a bloody saber cat run that thing
could one hit me why is there a saber
cat here oh my goodness Vault get over
the fence get over the fence run there
is a saber cat oh my goodness uh it has
310 Health okay thankfully it's
distracted on the carriage which it
can't do anything against so yeah we're
just leaving at least I know my magic
Works uh but still hardly any damage
done to that thing and I don't want to
be around when it comes back so over to
the little village we go I want to get
those stones of power as they could be
very useful indeed now I'm able to see
that with the dragnarok beginning that
they've begun to attack small
settlements which means the settlement
I'm headed towards will most likely be
under attack by the time I get there
here's the little town doesn't look like
there's any Undead around all right
let's go find myself those stones of
power they're not too far away and after
that we might be able to clear out some
Bandits and trust me the sooner we can
deal with the bandits the better yeah
the village is looking safe doesn't have
any guards but it is peaceful yeah
there's a wolf I can see oh my goodness
there's three of them okay that's
actually quite a lot right cast my
lightning oh there's one on me run jump
good Dodge good Dodge right let's pull
out my spear I can do this I might not
be the best oh my goodness that's a lot
of damage stab him stab him oh we did it
okay okay uh pull out my lightning again
you are not getting me I refuse to die
so Digby has too much to live for oh my
jump Mr wolfy kins lightning is actually
pretty powerful it appears to bounce
from Wolf to Wolf okay this lightning
makes more sense now we're actually not
the weakest tool in the shed it would
seem ah here we go the standing Stone's
Perfect all right I want to pick up uh
the Mage Stone this is a good idea well
bam we now have the Mage Stone blessing
which in Bas Skyrim just means you train
magic faster in this version what do we
get 50% increased Magic and our spells
can be cast for 10% less there we go
that's much better unfortunately in this
rainy weather we have a weakness to
shock oh wait that's also going to be
affecting all of the enemies we fight
that's why my lightning was so effective
on the Wolves oh my goodness in rainy
weather the lightning King rign Supreme
oh this is good okay suddenly I don't
feel so scared about embershard mine
there's one Bandit up here but I mean
one Bandit against me it doesn't feel
good to kill humans in the zombie
apocalypse but you know some of us need
need to survive Bandit Berserker okay 75
life is quite a lot but my lightning is
even better yes now that's more like it
reinforced fur armor that's much better
than my current stuff some maces that I
could probably sell okay right we'll
grab all of these yes my armor is now
massively improved and we're looking
slightly better more resistant to the
elements in the very least okay let's
make our way back to the village where
is everyone in this Village don't like
how quiet it is okay we've still got
someone hello land the green not all bad
okay I just got my first level up off
though that's actually really good
although my health is is unfortunately
not looking too great oh I need to level
up first before I get my perk I forget
in order to level up I actually need to
sleep let's see if the Inn wants to do
some business I will say it's quite nice
that on our first day we didn't run into
a single Undead Okay fantastic renting
room here only cost 10 gold for the
night so um we'll do that there's
nothing else really going on at the
moment and there's a storm raging
outside so let's have a sleep right
we'll rest up until tomorrow all in all
I'd say a successful first day in the
world not too much going on but I want
to get an earlier start so we're going
to wake up at about 5:00 a.m. oh and yes
I need to level up let's grab some more
stamina as that's our weakest stat and
sink a perk into conjuration ah Splendid
nice and early in the morning but the
early bird catches the worm now my food
supply is getting relatively low but
this bread loaf should do nicely there
we go all right out into Skyrim we go
once again I just need to survive I
don't exactly need to fight the undead
Invasion I mean they're going to win
eventually right so yes I think this day
I'm going to make my way to a very
simple B Bandit camp that I know is
nearby all right up the hill we go the
air is very cold here but if it's cold
for me it's cold for the bandits right
let's summon myself a lovely little wolf
hello you there we go Bandit Champion
jeez you've got a lot of Health friend
unfortunately I think I should be able
to still defeat you yes there we go my
wolfy is on to you and you would rather
attack him than me blend it right zappy
time we did it great quick now is the
time W that's a dodge run away run away
okay my wolf is on The Archers all I
have to do is keep this one Bandit busy
wolf no oh my goodness run run run run
run run run okay you are bad but Wolfie
is here right there we go you attack
from the front I've got the back zap zap
zap zap zap we did it oh my goodness
right we can steal a lot of this
equipment that's going to be useful a
lot of this can be sold for good money
let's make our way up here just a bunch
of rotten food unfortunately nothing to
actually help me survive but a chest up
here is still a chest there some money
and some potions I can claim blee Fall's
Tower you know I can claim it for the
cre hold if I'm lucky I think that means
them some guards will spawn here in the
next few days to defend the place uh
which way is the way to Helgen uh which
way is the way to Helgen let me bring up
my map oh wait yes my map doesn't
actually tell me where I am or where
anything is it's like a real map I'm so
used to the Skyrim cheat map oh here we
go a sign just Helgen this way okay I'm
guessing it's the more well trodden path
right okay made my way to Helgen lovely
safe spot it's always good seeing
Imperial walls uh but still the weather
has gone quite mental indeed so let's
try and find someone who's willing to
buy my gobbins okay I think I found an
Argonian who's willing to buy anything
so hello uh what have you got for sale
okay you've got a little bit of
everything jeez that's a lot of nonsense
how you'd like all of the clothes I'm
not using it should hopefully make us a
little bit of cash okay 272 gold yeah I
think I'm going to hold off on spending
any money until I get back to Riverwood
yeah weather's getting bad so it's back
down we go to the town is there
something wrong with white run I swear I
just saw weird clouds going over it okay
there is something wrong with white and
the Champions are out here fighting
something what is this oh it's a draga
okay it's level one they've actually
dealt with it pretty easily okay this is
our first far with the undead not too
challenging just a couple of boys easily
defeated drer invading large cities and
droves what that just popped up no no no

this could be bad this could be very bad

okay there's a couple up there they're
dealt with easily good job okay there's

success though oh jeez there's Undead in
front of me okay um run back wa okay up
up up up go I think one of them was
higher level as well yeah there's a
level six that's very bad okay White Run
does not seem safe at all with the
undead uh buggering around so I'm going

FAL creef might be a good idea yeah if

standing with them we liberated a tower

but you are fast and I am going to be
furious uh where am I on the map I have
no idea um there's a mill off in the
northern Direction and I guess North is
this way is oh gosh I hope I'm going in
the right direction I have no idea but
any way away from civilized areas is
probably for the best there's the mill
with vamp VES living in it but honestly
I think it's okay I mean the vampires
are quite likely to keep us covered
there's there's drer in front of me
there's a straight up robing band of
Drago run run flank oh my goodness look
at how many there are run horsey run run
run run run run run run run we got to
get around him we have to get around oh
my god oh one Arrow that's almost all my
health gone run run run run run run oh
my God that was so many of them yeah
this looks fine this looks fine okay
yeah the mill is definitely safe for the
moment I'm getting out of here oh no
what did her just say oh no that
probably means combat right I'm going to
quickly build myself a campsite just in
a you know relatively discret location
yeah this place seems good this where I
can I can actually rest up and oh my
okay yeah I was right the uh the drag
are attacking luckily for me uh vampires
slightly more resistant I think at least
I really hope so I don't know what her
life is looking like but okay no she's
running away that's not a good sign oh
there's an arrow just went past my head
have I got any health potions yes I do
quick chug leans quick quick quick wolf
can you get any attacks off before you
just get murdered yes he's gone for the
Archer at the back that's actually
really good at the very least I can use
him to break contact but I don't want to
lose my campsite I can't pick up my
Campsite in the middle of combat okay
one Drager dead there's another one here
all right I've got you wolfy got the
other the wolf is still alive where's
vampire friend oh dear vampire friend's
dead okay they're over there fighting a
rabbit this is good sign it's not
exactly a high priority Target okay
there's two of them left okay we might
do this okay quick quick quick quick no
no no no no no you do not get to have a
swing on me luckily lightning is
effective oh good job s Digby who knew
being a wizard in the zombie apocalypse
might be useful all right well I don't
have much Choice I'm going to just have
a quick tactical nap for 1 hour and in
that time I get to level up um so let's
quickly sink some points into magic oh I
get to level up twice okay I guess extra
points into stamina and again Health
okay cool we get some improvements let's
grab summoned creatures last 50% longer
eventually we can get armor of Shadows
so that our summoned creatures are
harder to kill and have magic resistance
as the sun rises on day three I
reflected on the prior Day events the
attack on White Run and the collapse of
FAL creef it was utter living chaos it
also reminded me of Americans buying TVs
on Black Friday what a dangerous
environment I honestly had no idea where
we safe on the map or where to go so I
just set off into the Wilderness and
hoped that I could survive if we're
lucky White Run hasn't fallen yet what
time is it okay it's coming up to 10:00
a.m. which I think is when the shops
open into Bell for's General Goods he's
a safe one bellfor I do actually need
some assistance friend I need to sell
you some of my gings please take this
amist take this gold ring there we go I
don't need that Garnet Ring Hey thank
you that's 600 gold so that's not bad
it's not the best but I'm hoping it
