Each of Skyrim’s weapon types and gameplay styles has its own unique skill tree with both passive and active bonuses. So, some users will choose to invest heavily into two-handed swords, while others may decide to become magic users with access to a ton of hard-hitting spells. In addition to these, Skyrim players can take part in alchemy, as the gameplay system allows them to create potions that grant various bonuses. However, not all potions have a positive impact.

A Reddit user named Project_Pems claims to have made a potion that reloads the last save and shares a video to show its effectiveness. It features Project_Pems working at an alchemy table, and users can see the player adding the Jarrin Root ingredient, followed by Salmon Roe and Scalon Fin. Project_Pems creates a Potion of Waterbreathing, which sounds pretty useful when only looking at its name. As seen by its description, this potion allows Skyrim players to breathe underwater for 306 seconds, but it also deals 1020 damage and decreases the user’s Magicka regeneration by 100% for 51 seconds.

Project_Pems instantly dies after drinking the Skyrim potion, verifying the claim made in the post’s title. Many users make fun of how Project_Pems did not lie in the title, just completed the objective in a funny and twisted manner. Some players mention that they were watching the video in the hopes of finding something interesting and different, but they were cleverly deceived by Project_Pems’ wording. One gamer renames this Potion of Waterbreathing to the “quickload potion.”

Jarrin Root appears to be the most important ingredient in the potion, and Skyrim players mention that it can kill almost anyone due to its high damage potential. In fact, there is only one Jarrin Root in the whole game, and it’s given to fans after they complete a Dark Brotherhood quest. However, one Skyrim player recently made a deadly poison potion without using Jarrin Root. It deals a lot of damage, and the user claims that it can easily kill dragons that roam the world of Skyrim.
