Dragon Shouts Guide + Locations

Recommended Posts

This guide was made in response to the myriad of threads and confusion about dragon shouts and their locations.

 

Introduction

Dragon Shouts are the shouting of words in the anciant language of Dragons. Each shout has a unique effect, consisting of three words of power. The more Words you know, the greater effect that the shout will have. In order to use the dragon shouts, you first must gain a dragon 'soul' which is obtained every time you call a dragon. NOTE: you must stand near the slain dragon for around 20 seconds after you have killed it, whilst it's skin disintegrates, in order to absorb the soul.

 

How to initiate a shout

When you have obtained a dragon word from a Word Wall, you must initiate the Words into a shout, using an available dragon soul. It is up to you where you choose to spend your dragon souls so make sure that you make the correct decision.

 

Go into the in-game menu (press B), and go left into magic. Scroll down to where it says 'Shouts' and a list of known Shouts and Words will be listed. Known shouts will be in pure white, while known Words (inactive shouts) will be faded, much like during speech options that have already been made. Choose the word you wish to learn and press X, and now that shout has been learned, press A to equip it.

 

How do I activate a full-powered shout?

To pull-off a fully known shout with all three words learned, press and hold RB. The shout will be automatically performed at its greatest power when holding the RB so no need to try and time it to intiate a three-word shout(this holds true for 2 word shouts as well).

 

NOTE: try practising a lower level shout when all three words are learnt, in case you want to use one shout and then another shortly after as a 3 word shout takes a lot longer to build back up.

 

Dragons WILL keep popping up after the main quest is completed so no need to rush around for the achievement

Where is the word wall during the Breaking Dawn quest for the Elemental Fury shout? I can't find it in there and I have the guide as well. I'm starting to think it's a typo. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Edit: It's not inside Kilkreath it's outside right up the hill.

Thanks for this! Does the Fire Breath shout only have two words? This is the one I've been wanting to complete, but I only have the first word. I will be subscribing to this thread for later use. :)

 

sorry bout that i just updated fire breath.

 

i will also update the kilkreath shout

 

i have also updated unrelenting force. i left it like that because i thought most people would be past that certain mission in the main quest.

Also, I can confirm that you DO not need to learn all sections of each shout to pop the achievement. I just got done getting the first part of Kyne's Peace (the last shout I needed) and Thu'um Master popped. This game seems to be a bit glitchy so I can't guarantee this'll work for everyone, but yeah you don't need to worry about getting all 3 words for each shout, just one each and you're covered. ;)

o wow that's really interesting and kinda makes me breathe easier knowing I don't have to find 50 dragons to kill, but lately they've been popping up all over the place. I've got 8 free souls ATM.

If you want to be able to use the shouts that you already have, then you have to spend the souls on the shouts you want to be able to use.

 

For instance, say I have all the words for a shout for Frost Breath. In order for me to be able to use the shout, I have to spend dragon souls on it.

 

Is that what you are asking?

Correct I have about 11 or so different shouts I have found words for, and have 9 dragon souls. Yet I can only use the force shout and the sprinting one still. And I do actually have one with all three words but can't use that one either. What am I not understanding?

 

You need to spend your souls on them. Its only 1 soul per shout, to buy them go into the magic menu, choose a shout and just press :xbut:

It says at the start of the guide that to unlock the words you found on a word wall you need a dragon soul already.

 

When I've finished my exams I will further update locations possibly with screen shots although they're not really that hard to find
