I just used console commands after 9 years of never completing the quest to give myself the 30 crimson nirnroot, and all I got for completing the quest was a stupid lore book. The reward SHOULD have been learning how to grow your own, essentially giving you a perk that enables the planting and growing of nirnroot in player owned planters.

Though, I don't *quite* believe that they are pointless. Has anyone tried putting them into that thing under the College of Winterhold? Even if they really are pointless in game, I can't help but wonder if some level designer decided it would be hilarious to mess with players by including them. And that level designer is sitting somewhere right now laughing hysterically. Honestly, he probably *is* Sheogorath.

Probably was the guy who just said yeah, and disappeared. Cause he was still mad it didn't get accepted lol

For some reason I always thought in my head cannon these symbols on the lids, once all collected, spelled out the true name of 'Rune' from the Thieves Guild.

It's weird how the purple butterfly in the jar isn't mentioned here because it also has runes on the lid of the jar and it was also found in the Blue Palace of solitude

I find this explanation very *jarring*

It might actually be pretty cool for someone to come up with a mod involving these. Maybe redesign them so they connect with the dragon language or something to have it lead deeper into an actual labyrinth or ruin or multiple cave systems, with lots of hard or leveled fights and maybe a word wall or 2 along with a couple artifacts from the previous games.

Something that has always irked me is that the monarch butterfly in this game has its wings put on backwards. And once you see it, and know about it, it will always bother you.

That is... disappointing... but hardly surprising Thanks for clarifying it though

I expected this outcome, I'm actually more surprised and disappointed that I haven't seen any modders do something with the jars and actually make one of those many theories an actual thing... ugh, and Bethesda expects me to pay these "creative" people for their hobby, lol.

Does anyone remember the stuffed argonian head in Morrowind? It was on a plaque and everything. Or how about the room under the temple of vivec that had some pipe things you could press on but seemed to do nothing. Did anyone ever manage to figure what was up with those two things?

Imagine The Elder Scrolls VI will give this eternal riddle a closer by adding neat easter egg, that could kinda tell us what this ment all along ( Even if it truely did not have any meaning originally and will be just given one for a proper closer ). If it will actually happen in The Eleder Scrolls VI, it would feel right, it would feel complete.

You see folks, these bugs were trapped in jars by a group of horrible Nordic Raiders. You can help them to escape, but you'll have to pay $99.99

Okay, so who wants to speculate about what the bug plotline was SUPPOSED to be? Personally, I want to say they were supposed to be connected to a sort of scavenger hunt quest that would involve needing to find all the bugs (and I think there were originally more of them) and then translating the runes (via a book that never got implemented when the idea was rejected) and then the runes would tell you how to find the treasure (which might be a weapon or a spell of some kind)

Just because the quest the symbols were related to was cut doesn't mean they don't have any meaning. If we could just get the details about what the quest was going to be, we would know what they mean.

Maybe the true secret to the letters under the bugs in jars is referring to the friends we made along the way.

So, my guess would have been that someone came up with a thieves guild quest where you have to run around collecting twenty odd unique items of a theme, then the idea actually went before designers and business minded people who said "great idea, but who cares about bugs? Also there is no way we are committing the resources to work out that many unique items for such a quest. Do it with twenty odd identical gems that go in a crown or something, but don't let the assets you already made go to waste."

I was half-way expecting a scene at the end with someone at BGS sitting in the dark watching this video and after it ends he just starts gradually laughing maniacally while stroking a cat as the camera pans to reveal the room to be filled with bugs in jars or something.

My theory: The Bugs In Jars were put there by the Daedric Prince of Madness Sheogorath in an attempt to drive people crazy trying to find some deeper meaning where none actually existed. Clearly, he succeeded spectacularly.

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

I love it 😂😆

Though the jar-lids themselves don't have a greater meaning behind them, where they where placed does. In the Golden Glow Estate can be found the Bee which relates to the production of honey-brew mead. In the Alchemist shack can be found the Butterfly which (though not uniquely)relates to alchemy. Though there may be a greater connection I don't know of. At the Orchimer Stronghold can be found the Dragonfly which I don't think has a legit connection. Inside Duskglow Cave can be found the Moth which relates to the name of the cave with it's moon like glow. Inside Frostflow Lighthouse can be found the Firefly which glows brightly in the night... like a Lighthouse. As stated, this was most likely not their intended meaning, but the team still did a great job placing them in places that relates quite well to the locations. Possible exceptions being the Butterfly and Dragonfly.

Technically, I think all mead is brewed with honey. But the bee being at an apiary does make a ton of sense.

Elder Scrolls Detective: I believe your findings regarding Bugs in Jars; however, if you'd like a story that takes advantage of the bugs and incorporates the scratches on the underside of the jar lids, consider the Inigo mod. An entire story line and dialog with the jarred bug(s) you find in the game. Pretty neat.

Knowing bethesda, we should've expected this.

It would absolutely be peak Bethesda for them to slip in a quest for these in the Anniversary Edition...

I personally would love a mod that uses the bugs in jars where you take each bug jar to a certain point and you fight a giant version of that bug it could easily just be a reskinned dragon and the reward be something like summon that particular bug like for the bee you summon a swarm of bees that attack enemies the dragonfly is a rideable small dragon that acts like a horse the butterfly and moth be a levitating and or fetching creature and the torchbug be a summonable light source that's actually useful. Or you just have the bugs in jars and when you have them on your person you get greater stuff from the the bugs of the jars you have

I personally think it could be like a powerful alchemist that wanted these bugs for whatever reason, then when you finish the quest for him, he makes it where the perk to gain double the plants when you pick them also works on bugs... Because magic or something.

I'd just like a perm buff for a quest reward after you'd release the bugs to certain spawn points around the map. Maybe a buff to restoration spells that heal others or since you showed kindness to nature maybe a buff that makes Spriggans become neutral towards you. The buff could be called "Simple Kindness"

Unless the they are secretly how Bethesda sealed the Microtransaction demon in their studio years ago(specifically the game studio not their parent or sister organizations)

The bugs are agents of Namira waiting to be unleashed upon Tamriel. To open the jars, one must find a Winking Skeever that's high on Skooma, who took an arrow to the knee while stealing someone's Sweet Roll in the Cloud District. The clues are obvious.

TheLeopardGaming To be honest, i always thougt exactly that. But i loved the Storys about it^^

Apparently the runes symbolised 5 cities such as whiterun, morthal, winterhold, windhealm and dawnstar, which makes a pentagon on the map and in the middle of each line is a dragon word wall or standing stone and at the centre of it all is a shrine to TALOS and if you put the jars in a Pacific order there u started dooms day, that's probably why it was cut because then elder Scrolls 6 would be an apocalypse and we don't need another fallout game 😒

I'd wager even the artist who conceptualized and put together the whole bugs in jars thing probably doesn't even remember ... We're talking about some half thought out mini quest thing that never got greenlit from 8 to 10 years ago. That artist has worked on literally thousands of assets for dozens of different projects probably with multiple companies since then.

This is just hilarious! WHATEVER Bethesda ever does, it will be like, millions of people wasting their lives analysing it. So on some Skyrim players deathbed, her daughter sits next to her. Player: My darling. I have lived a long life. I have lived a good life. But I have a simgle regret. My soul will never be at peace before I know the answer. WHAT DOES THOSE FREAKINGS BUGS IN JARS *MEAN* ??? Daughter: Mom.. I looked it up on the Internet. I searced for long, and at last I've found the truth. They don't mean a goodamn thing.

They should revel it in es6

I found a sixth jar in the anniversary edition with a green butterfly in a jar. With runes on the lid. To get it you have to to Markarth and find Ri'saad the khajit karavan merchant on the streets outside the City. He'll give you a quest to kill bandits he has problems with. At some point during the quest you have to go into the new dungeon the Solitudes Severs. At the end of the dungeon is the jar standing on a table

I’m currently playing through Skyrim another time. This question popped into my head as I arrived to Iverstead, passing by the Alchemists shack and picking up the butterfly. It occurred to me that Narfi is our missing link lady’s and gents. Hear me out. What if Reyda and her parents were collecting these insects? If both parents were sell swords while Reyda was an alchemist (Narfi loving the bugs she brought home!) they might have been collecting those bugs for Reyda. Or maybe Narfi himself caught the bugs and “named” them with those ruins and let his parents take them as good luck charms. Or maybe Reyda got assassinated by storm cloaks for not helping them(she might have been a really good alchemist). Either way, They might have had a quest where you would bring all of the bugs home to Narfi (and Reyda?) but they decided it was too convoluted seeing as you don’t want to be distracted from actual Dragonborn missions. (COUGH COUGH BEARPELTSBEARPELRSBEARPELTS)

actually, if you take the symbols from each jar, turn them into images, merge them all together, apply a negative filter, then a black and white filter with full contrast, then convert it into binary with black pixels being 0, and white being 1, then take every 2nd prime, convert it into text, and cut out every 2 and 5 letter, you get the message "You solved my mystery. Good job."

I swore a long time ago that the bugs in jars were connected to Rune, that guy in the Thieves' Guild, and I still hope that that was what was cut.
