Their feet are tipped with three sharp talons and one vestigial digit known as a dewclaw, a characteristic that can be seen in their written language. Dragons have horns and spiked ridges along their backs and are several times larger than any human or elf. They have two hind legs but no forearms, so they use their wings to crawl when they are forced to traverse along the ground.
Except for basic Dragons and the Skeletal Dragon, all dragons also have an ability called "Dragon Bite", which grants them a constant Fortify Unarmed Damage effect. Dragons are immune to paralysis and cannot be soul trapped. Dragons rely on their magicka reserves to use these shouts, which means that if a dragon's magicka is drained , it will not be able to use its shouts. The base damage for all the dragons detailed below is 25 with the exception of the Skeletal Dragon , and their tail swipe attacks will stagger all enemies in a large area.
The sections below detail the attributes and abilities of each of the various types of dragons. The types of dragons that spawn in the wild will depend on your level, but regardless of your level, dragons' combat abilities and their centrality to the game's plot effectively make them game bosses. Note that although the different varieties of dragon normally start to appear at the player level indicated, it is possible, though rare, to encounter a more powerful dragon at a much lower level.
Basic Dragons are considered to be the easiest dragon type to fight, although they can provide a challenge early in the game. They come in three different colors and can have either fire- or frost-based attacks. They will spawn at any level once the quest Dragon Rising has been completed. All Blood Dragons are entirely green in color, can breathe either fire or frost, and are slightly tougher than basic dragons. These dragons have sail-like fins on their backs and on either side of their tails, and a bony ridge along their foreheads.
Blood Dragons begin to appear in leveled lists at level The Skeletal Dragon is a unique dragon found only in Labyrinthian that is made up entirely of bone, with no scales or flesh, and cannot fly. It breathes frost, but has no resistance to frost or weakness to fire; instead, it has weakness to magic pts. The Skeletal Dragon has no soul to absorb and, unlike living dragons, drops only dragon bones when killed. The Skeletal Dragon's base damage is 50, and its bite attack multiplies this damage by 2 instead of 1.
Frost Dragons are colored white and grey and have very large, black spikes along their back. They have a frost-based breath attack. These dragons are a little tougher than Blood dragons and have significantly more health.
Frost Dragons begin to appear in leveled lists at level All Elder Dragons are bronze in color and are significantly tougher than the previous types, both in melee and breath attacks.
Their wings have a unique two-tone pattern, with bronze at the top and a lighter green lower down. They can breathe either fire or frost, and begin appearing in leveled lists at level Ancient Dragons are covered with coppery red-and-black scales, with almost no ridges or spikes on their backs, and are capable of breathing either fire or frost.
The Ancient Dragon's "Dragon Bite" adds a massive points of damage to their attacks, making them remarkably deadly both in the air and on the ground. Until Dawnguard was released, they were the strongest non-unique dragons encountered in the game. Ancient Dragons begin to appear in leveled lists at level Serpentine Dragons are found only on Solstheim and can breathe frost or fire. Their appearance is unique compared to other dragons, most notably their blue hue, lack of scutes, and oversized bottom jaws which give them a distinctive underbite.
They are formidable foes, possessing slightly greater strength than an Ancient Dragon. There is one named Serpentine Dragon, Sahrotaar , whom Miraak uses as his mount. Serpentine Dragons begin to appear in leveled lists at level 55 if Dragonborn is installed. Revered Dragons are orange-scaled dragons that have long, flat bodies and broad tails. In addition to their Fire Breath, they can use a dragon version of the Drain Vitality shout, which lets them rapidly drain a victim's health, magicka, and stamina.
Revered Dragons begin to appear in leveled lists at level 59 if Dawnguard is installed. Second only to Alduin in their sheer power, Legendary Dragons have striped black and purple scales, large curved horns, unusually long claws on their white-and-purple wings, and what appear to be compound eyes.
Legendary Dragons begin to appear in leveled lists at level 78 if Dawnguard is installed. The standard loot for dragons is listed below; revered and legendary dragons give additional loot. With the installation of the Hearthfire add-on, you have the ability to create a dragon skull statue on a large base in the trophy room addition of any homestead, should you choose to build it.
It's not a great idea to dual wield against a dragon unless you have great resistances and high life. Sword and shield is the way to go, so that you can block those breath attacks that are impossible to avoid at close range.
Naturally, with a two-handed weapon and enough specialization you can use power attacks and quickly kill them once they're vulnerable, but it's worth noting their melee attacks are very strong, along with the breath, and up close you're vulnerable to that.
Casters benefit from some archery skills as well, given they are unlikely to have the magicka needed to kill a dragon without drinking several potions. Use the opposite element of the dragon's breath and make every shot count.
Summoned creatures usually aren't very helpful against a dragon due to their low life, while Followers like Lydia the Housecarl can outright tank a Dragon while you engage at range. Given all that information, Archers have the easiest time against the Dragons of Skyrim. They tend to have less trouble using terrain to their advantage, arrows weigh nothing, and the ranged damage bonuses from perks are already in place. The only tip I can give is to use your best arrows for Dragons when you're sure to hit like when they're landed and keep something nearby for cover terrain, rock, big tree, column.
You won't be blocking any Dragon breath with your bow so having something to strafe behind is key. When the dragon is vulnerable and at medium range, don't bother fully drawing your bow. Opt to rapidly fire arrows into the creature as draw strength affects only weapon range, not damage. Get NPC Help If you are having trouble killing a Dragon, you can lead it to civilization where guards can help distract and deal damage to it for you.
Avoid going to areas with more hostiles who are as likely to want to kill you as the dragon. If you simply cannot win, you can always lower the game's difficulty setting to reduce the damage you take while simultaneously multiplying your damage output.
Switch it back when you're done and no one has to know Aside from the obvious health and magicka potions you'll want to replenish your resources in a tough dragon fight, a few other tools come to mind:. Victory: Dragon Souls and Loot All normal dragons will drop between 1 and 3 dragon scales and dragon bones each.
If you intend to be an armorsmith, do not sell them, rather store them in a safe area for later. Dragons can also drop gear and weapons, although a bit more rarely. My favorite place to unlock for storage of dragon bones and ores is Meeko's Shack, although there are plenty of safe areas you can use - in general dressers, end tables and cupboards will not respawn. Victories over dragons result in your Dovahkiin absorbing a Dragon Soul. Frost confirmation needed.
Frost Breath Unrelenting Force. An undead dragon encountered in Labyrinthian during the quest " The Staff of Magnus. Frost Breath. Frost Breath Fire Breath.
Drain Vitality. Fire Breath Frost Breath. Fire Breath Dragon Fireball Shout. Dragon behavior A soldier being eaten by a dragon A Dragon not engaged in combat will emit a distinctive "air rushing" sound while in flight. Dragons are Neutral enemies, meaning they are hostile towards all characters in the immediate area, and vice versa.
However, sometimes dragons will not notice any enemies in the area at all and fly around nonchalantly. One may eventually become aware of nearby mobs and attack them, but if it does not encounter any enemies it eventually flies away.
Dragons have numerous combat patterns. When they are first encountered, they will usually take advantage of their speed while in flight to sweep enemies on the ground with Shout attacks. Occasionally, they may also stop to hover in place, or land on the roof of a building and proceed to use a Shout, and then fly away for another attack.
If the target is out of range for regular Shouts, the dragon will use a longer ranged Fire or Frost "ball" Shout which explodes on impact with a surface. When grounded, they become susceptible to close-ranged attacks, and their attacks consist of swinging their tails, using Shouts, and attempting to bite at an enemy with their jaws. If dragons successfully do enough damage to a player, they will perform a finishing move by grabbing half of the Dragonborn's body with their mouth, swinging them back and forth a couple of times, then launching them into the air.
After a dragon has sustained enough damage, it may lose the ability to fly. If airborne when this happens it will crash land in the nearest relatively open area , scarring the ground in the process. Any random dragon encounter may be avoided by entering another cell, such as a cave or ruins.
Exiting out of a different entrance will always cause the dragon to vanish, whereas if the Dragonborn exits out of the same entrance, the dragon may still be waiting for them depending on how much time in-game was spent in the other cell.
Dragons tend to pursue the Dragonborn over other targets, so moving away from a location can help save any characters there from being killed during a dragon attack. Defense A Dragon can often be heard before it is seen. They roar on a regular basis and they make a distinctive sound when flying. This can be used to avoid or track them.
If the player is a Vampire they are more resistant to ice, but vulnerable to fire, this might be good or bad depending of the dragons encountered, if the player is a Dunmer and a third level Vampire the Dragonborn will be very resistant to all elemental damage Dragons can produce. It is possible to find gear in game that protects against a percentage of elemental damage. Spellbreaker can deflect the breath attack of any dragon up to ancient dragons without its ward breaking.
As always, the player must be careful about their surroundings. Characters can accidentally wander in and get hit, turning them hostile. Using Dragonrend right before a dragon shouts will make the dragons shout disappear and also cause them to land. Not true when fighting an Ancient Fire Dragon Become Ethereal is helpful when the player has low health. Mages can conjure an Atronach of the same type as the dragon Flame for fire breathing dragons, and Frost for frost breathing dragons.
This takes advantage of both the Atronach's total resistance to its element and the Atronach's tendency to make a huge target of itself. Master of the Mind and Call to Arms can help keep the atronachs alive in melee range.
Offense With the correct perks and powerful weapons, Dragons can be instantly killed with sneak attacks from a melee weapon or bow. While doing its roaring animation, the dragon is incapable of attacking.
