Skyrim Dragon Shouts

Dragon Shouts can be very useful in the world of Skyrim. However, you first need to find them!

Ask Arngeir in High Hrothgar where the ‘Words of power’  are located. A new miscellaneous sidequest will be added to your journal.

After you have found the word of power for a shout, you need to ‘unlock’ it. For this, you need an absorbed dragon soul that you will get after killing a dragon.

Here is a list of the different Dragon Shouts: (warning: spoiler alerts after the ‘more’).

• Unrelenting force: Fires a shockwave of force energy that stuns and pushes enemies away
• Ice form: Encases enemies in ice incapacitating them for a short period of time
• Storm call: Summons a thunderstorm to strike enemies with lightning (friendly fire possible)
• Fire breath: Allows player to breathe fire at enemies
• Slow time: Allows player to slow time with respect to enemies
• Whirlwind sprint: Propels the player forward (akin to a ‘blink’ type effect)
• Animal Allegiance: Summons beasts to aid you during combat
• Elemental fury: Shout at your weapon and you can use weapons faster (does not work on enchanted weapons)
• Become ethereal: Allows you to become immune to damage for a short period of time, however, you will be unable to fight.
• Frost Breath: Frost breath akin to Fire Inferno Sun
• Throw voice: Fools your enemies into thinking you are somewhere else. Ideal to lure them towards the edge of a bridge or mountain and them throw them off!
• Disarm: Disarms enemies (up to a specified level, depending on shout level)
• Clear skies: Clears the skies, removing any weather conditions
• Call of Valor: Summons heroes to aid you in battle
• Dragonrend: Forces Dragon to land (as long as there is space to do so).
• Marked for death: Reduces health capacity, armor rating and stamina of target by some %.
• Aura whisper: Casts Detect Life in a huge range on self for a few seconds.
• Call dragon: Calls up the dragon Odahviing to help you in battles
• Kyne’s peace: Creatures are demoralised, either losing the will to fight or fleeing entirely. (shout level determines the level up to which it affects enemies)
• Dismay: This shout makes enemies flee from you.
