The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Shouts List
Besides spells and powers, your character can also have shouts. Don't let the pathetically mundane word "shout" fool you -- these are words of power spoken in the ancient dragon tongue, and can be very useful. Most shouts are learned from large, curving magic wall sections called Word Walls. You can find many Word Walls and gain their shout words early in the game, but you can't start using shouts until after you kill Mirmulnir on the fourth Main Quest. You'll then be able to use the first word of the Unrelenting Force shout, and you can go around looking for more dragons to kill in order to get dragon souls to "activate" the other shout words you've learned.
Below is list of all the shouts with descriptions of what they do and where you can learn each of their three words. Check the World Map Exploration Guide if you need help finding a Word Wall location, and remember to hold down the Shout key in order to fire off a more powerful version of a shout once you know more than one of its words.
