The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

Slay Durnehviir.

  • 1 of 5: Durnehviir is similar to most dragons, but he has two shouts that he can use against you besides his standard frost breath and melee attacks.
  • 2 of 5: One of them can drain your health, magicka, and stamina all at once, and the other one can summon bonemen to fight for him.
  • 3 of 5: Watching out for those, you can fight him pretty much like you do any dragon. Use your best bow or crossbow, and summon the most powerful creature you can.
  • 4 of 5: Durnehviir will find it hard to attack you if you retreat back into the passage that you came in on. Furthermore, he's likely to get interested in attacking your two allies, and won't even try to get to you.
  • 5 of 5: TIP: If you purposely prolong the battle by always attacking bonemen instead of Durnehviir, there'll be a lot of little black "soul embers" remains (one for each boneman that Durnehviir summoned) to loot after the battle is over. You can get a *lot* of soul gems that way.
