Skyrim is an amazing game. Even after spending hundreds of hours in it, with each repeated passage you will find something new on your way. Moreover, the developers did not disappoint and added a lot of interesting "easter eggs". For example, did you know that on the expanses of Skyrim you can meet the real headless horseman? If not, then this article will definitely appeal to you.
How to find?
So, you decided to find the headless rider in Skyrim. From this moment, your problems begin. The fact is that this character appears at an arbitrary point in the game world, which cannot be determined in advance. That is, nothing at all. The only thing that remains is to simply take long walks around the territory of Skyrim and hope for good luck.
The second thing to consider when looking for a headless horseman is that he, like any self-respecting ghost, appears exclusively in the dark. If we talk specifically about game mechanics, then this is the time between ten in the evening and five in the morning. Be sure to pay attention to this if you want to succeed in your business.
Description
Of course, it’s quite difficult to confuse the headless horseman with anyone else. But if you have never seen a character before, and even look from afar, you can easily take him for a normal cast. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended that you first study the description of this NPC and only then proceed with its search.
In Skyrim, the headless horseman looks like a ghost dressed in a set of heavy plate armor. For obvious reasons, he certainly does not wear a helmet. The character most often rides on a ghostly horse, but under some circumstances may be on foot. This NPC has its own weapon, which is a random poleax corresponding to the level of your hero.
Interaction
Armed with the information above, you will somehow find a headless horseman. After that, you most likely will have a question: “What then to do with it?” Unfortunately, you will not succeed in talking with the ghost. In addition, he does not respond to attacks from both the hero and NPC enemies. The latter, by the way, will actively attack the headless horseman if they meet in his way.
However, you can follow the ghost. Ultimately, he will lead you to the location of Hamvir Halt, where you will find a helmet with good characteristics. There is also a closed chest with a lock of the “Master” level. Its contents directly depend on the level of your hero.
Maud
If you like the headless rider, you can use a special mod that allows you to make a ghost your companion. The modification is called Headless Horseman Companion, and you can download it from any specialized site.
This companion is fluent in any one-handed weapon, and also knows how to use weapons in each hand. In addition, all sorts of mines and traps do not work on him, but this is understandable, because he is still a ghost. Well, and finally, the companion headless horseman is pumped simultaneously with your hero, which means that he will be an effective companion at any stage of the game.
