🧪 The Strongest Poison in Skyrim That Can Kill Any Enemy #skyrim

It took me 12 years to discover that there’s a poison in Skyrim strong enough to instantly kill Alduin on Master difficulty. But getting this poison isn’t easy. Do you remember the Dark Brotherhood questline? In one mission, you’re supposed to poison the Emperor while pretending to be the Gourmet. In this instance, Astrid gives you a unique ingredient: jarrin root, a deadly poison meant to be slipped into his food. But did you know that instead of following the plan, you can simply kill the Emperor yourself? If you do, the jarrin root stays with you, and you can use it to make an insanely powerful poison that kills most enemies instantly. All you need to do is mix ectoplasm with the jarrin root. It works even better if you level up your alchemy and wear gear that boosts the effectiveness of your potions and poisons. Now, here’s what happens if you coat a dagger with this poison and unlock the Concentrated Poison perk, which allows the poison to damage enemies twice.

Sometimes I eat the jarrin root. I like to imagine how Astrid would react if I ate it the moment she hands it to me.

Human heart and jarrin root, 1 shot the entire game

If it's good enough to poison an emperor, then it's good enough to poison an ancient soul devouring dragon

[BlueDragonKnight]

It also keeps the nice cook lady from facing any punishment since the emperor didn’t get poisoned through his food so she is never thought of as an accomplice

Better plan: before killing the emperor, drop the root on the floor in Whiterun and make your follower pick it up. then reenter and you have two roots 🤌

[kaffielekobold]

Jarrin root + bone meal + human heart = Delete your whole existence

Cause screw you, screw your mana, and screw your stamina too. You're going to the shadow realm😂

We are cooking Alduin with this one 🗣️📢

[SunWorshipper]

my character once ate jarrin root to learn what alchemy effects it has

[ThisHndlIsAlrdyTaken]

Alduin: so this is why you were dragon your feet to finally get around to fighting me?

[Syrinfox]

They must of REALLY wanted to make sure the emperor died to be using a poison strong enough to 2 shot a godlike dragon.

[christophershepherd]

One shot the Ebony warrior still wearing the chef’s hat 😅

[aerodynamiccow]

Instructions unclear, created medieval heroin

Everything took 12 years for bro to realize💀

[RelixsCrow]

Fun fact: this quest and the final quest of the Dark Brotherhood are only times the player has Access to the Emperors clothes, which the player can only legit obtain twice.

I have a mod that lets me plant it, OP asf with the poison it makes but sometimes I just want the lolz.

If you complete a Return to your Roots quest you have a chance to get two poisons when using your Jarrin Root.
If then you get the Poisoned perk you can use 1 Jarrin Root on 4 enemies.

But if you put the poison on a two-handed weapon with the Sweep perk you can hit multiple enemies in one swing, or in two swings with the Poisoned perk.

I wish we could farm that root. I remember eating it and instantly dying

Have your follower wait near the Whiterun entrance. Drop the Jarin root OR make the strongest potion possible with ectoplasm and the Jarin root, and then drop it in front of your follower. Have them pick it up on the "I need you to do something" command. Once they do, go outside the front gate and come right back in. You'll find the potion/ Jarin root on the ground again yet your follower will have one in their inventory. Get it from them and then drop both again and do it all over again .

Keep doing this until you have a large supply. Give some to your follower to save for later . Or save it at your home.

I'll just say one thing: restoration loop

[elephystry]

My brother figured this out. You can also use nirnroot instead of ectoplasm (which you need to upgrade the ghostblades) or basically any damage health ingredient. I tested it on Alduin myself.
