How do we keep managing to miss so many details?
Skyrim has been out almost 13 years, yet we’re still learning about hidden areas to this day. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, but also one that keeps making us look the fool.
Fans have been amazed by a hidden skill after 2,000 plus hours of play, and they’ve been both exasperated and relieved to learn of an invaluable lock picking trick.

But this hidden secret? Oh, it’s worth its weight in gold.

Accompanying their question was a video showing exactly where the hidden treasure could be found.

Considering the release of The Elder Scrolls VI is still laughably far away, Skyrim is a game that’ll be played and analysed for years to come yet.
Maybe a day will come when all its secrets are discovered... But today isn’t that day.
No matter, at least we now know of yet another area to thoroughly explore the next time we decide to embark on an epic adventure. Assuming we don’t forget about it before that happens.
