In The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, part of being the fabled Dragonborn means that players get access to special abilities called shouts. These shouts use the language of dragons which wills their power into the world. There are plenty of shouts, and collecting them makes many aspects of the Dragonborn's adventure much more tolerable.
Many shouts and their word walls are locked in quest lines or are only accessible at certain times in Skyrim. Others lie in wait throughout the wilds of Skyrim or are lost deep within old Nordic tombs. Some shouts command powerful beasts to fight while others make enemies flee in terror. Collect them all and become the ultimate Dragonborn.
Updated on December 23, 2021, by Anastasia Maillot: Skyrim has come a long way as a game. There's no question about it being the one title that defined a whole decade of gaming and set a gold standard for the rest of the industry. Bethesda chose to celebrate ten years of Skyrim by releasing its 10th-year anniversary edition, which adds a bunch of new content into the game and has helped to bring Skyrim back to the forefront of gaming for a bit.
In celebration of Skyrim's anniversary, this list has been completed with the last Dragon Shouts that were previously missing and are found in Skyrim's DLCs. Here is the complete list of all Dragon Shouts in Skyrim and where to find them.
27 Battle Fury
This shout is found in the Dragonborn DLC, by venturing deep into Vahlok's tomb found on Solstheim. Battle Fury lets players enchant the damage of their followers' weapons, which in turn will deal more damage in combat. The full shout applies the effect for 180 seconds.
- Vahlok's Tomb: This area can be accessed on Solstheim. An easy way to get to it is to begin the quest Lost Legacy. All three words are found inside the same tomb.
26 Bend Will
This shout is very unique from all the other shouts in the game since each word has a different effect. "GOL" is used for cleansing All-Maker Stones on Solstheim while the player completes the quest "Cleansing the Stones". "HAH" will turn any human or animal into the Dragonborn's ally, and "DOV" will let the player actually ride a dragon.
- Saering's Watch: The main quest of the Dragonborn DLC will send the player here to find the first Word of Power.
- Apocrypha: Hermaeus Mora will teach the Dragonborn this word as they access Apocrypha during the main quest of the DLC.
- Skaal Village: Hermaeus Mora will also teach this final word during the main quest of the DLC, at the Skaal Village.
25 Cyclone
Imagine the Unrelenting Force, but rather than pushing the target back, it will be sent flying upwards. Enemies will also take damage when they fall down from the shout.
- Benkongerike: Head southeast from Saering's Watch to enter a cave filled with Rieklings.
- White Ridge Barrow: Dukaan's tomb, this barrow is found in the northern parts of Solstheim, southwest of Saering's Watch.
- Kolbjorn Barrow: Travel southeast from Raven Rock to find this tomb, home to Ahzidal.
24 Dragon Aspect
The Dragonborn becomes as powerful and mighty as a dragon, with increased damage, fire, and frost resistance. Power attacks deal even more damage, and the player character gains a temporary ghostly dragon armor.
- Apocrypha: Read the Black Book: Waking Dreams, Chapter 4. It can be found in the area where the Dragonborn will face off against Miraak.
- Bloodskal Barrow: Travel north from Raven Rock to the Raven Rock Mines to find the tomb of Zahkriisos, where the second word is also located during the related quest "The Final Descent".
- Temple of Miraak: Located in the middle of Solstheim, it can be found underneath the Tree Stone standing stone. It will be accessed during the quest "The Temple of Miraak".
23 Animal Allegiance
Call forth the mighty beasts of Skyrim with Animal Allegiance to aid in battle.
- Ancient's Ascent: A Dragon Lair located in southern Skyrim within Falkreath's southern peaks.
- Angarvunde: An ancient ruin located in The Rift, far west of Riften.
- Ysgramor's Tomb: Beyond the tomb lies a path to the top of the mountain. It's also accessible by climbing up the mountain near the entrance.
22 Aura Whisper
Similar to the Detect Life spell, Aura Whisper allows the Dragonborn to also detect the presence of animunculi, undead, and daedra.
- Northwind Summit: A Dragon Lair located in The Rift. Traverse Northwind Mine or head northwest of Shor's Stone and hike the mountain.
- Valthume: An ancient Nordic tomb located in The Reach, southeast of Markarth.
- Volunruud: An ancient Nordic tomb located in The Pale, north of both Silent Moons Camp and Halted Stream Camp.
21 Become Ethereal
Become ghostly and invulnerable to damage with the help of the Become Ethereal shout.
- Ironbind Barrow: An ancient Nordic tomb located southeast of Dawnstar and southwest of Winterhold.
- Lost Valley Redoubt: A large ruin located in The Reach, between Markarth and Falkreath.
- Ustengrav: An ancient Nordic tomb, northeast of Morthal and southeast of Solitude.
20 Call Dragon
Call forth the great Odahviing with Call Dragon for assistance in battle. He can also be ridden with the Dragonborn DLC.
- Sky Haven Temple: A major landmark located in The Reach and traveled to during the main questline.
- Throat of the World: A major landmark located high above High Hrothgar on the largest mountain in Skyrim. The Dragonborn travels here during The Fallen quest and earns the shout.
19 Call of Valor
Summon the mightiest warriors from Sovngarde such as Gormlaith Golden-Hilt, Felldir the Old, and Hakon One-Eye with the Call of Valor shout.
- Sovngarde: Upon slaying Alduin and completing the main questline, the great warrior Tsun grants the Dragonborn this shout.
18 Clear Skies
Command the weather and blow the rain and snow away with the Clear Skies shout.
- High Hrothgar: During the main questline (and after completing the quest, Alduin's Wall), the Dragonborn learns this shout to blow away fog on the mountain path above High Hrothgar. The Greybeards teach all three levels.
