Who is the strongest follower in Skyrim?

There's no single "strongest" follower in Skyrim, as it depends on playstyle, but top contenders are Serana (essential vampire mage), Frea (essential tank/dual-wielder), J'zargo (powerful mage with high level cap), and Ralis Sedarys (aggressive dual-wielder with high damage potential). Key factors are essential status (can't die), level cap (scales with player), and combat style (mage, warrior, tank), with followers like Dremora Lords or custom Dead Thralls also being incredibly powerful options if you can manage them.

What is the rarest thing in Skyrim?

The "rarest" item in Skyrim is subjective, but often cited are uniquely named, single-occurrence items like the Notched Pickaxe (found near a skeleton) or Cabo Zane's Fane (a dagger for slicing dragon scales), or quest-specific items like Barenziah's Crown or Colovian Brandy, which can be permanently missed if choices aren't made carefully, making them rare through player error rather than inherent scarcity. Truly rare items are often unique artifacts or quest rewards that have no other source in the game, like Daedric artifacts or unique weapons such as Firiniel's End, but many players consider quest-critical items that can be permanently lost to be the rarest.
