Load him with Arrows while Partysnax distracts him, and hide partially behind the big rock on the Throat of the World. It's super easy. I'll tell you what's hard, it's a fight with a dragon and three lurkers at your back!
Oh man I'm so early to this video! What do I say? "Do you get to the Cloud District often" no no no that's not it! "A new hand touches the..." no stop it! "Murdered to death" yes nailed it!
I would love a dlc where you get stuck In a time portal and traveled through morrowind and oblivion trying to fix the timeline and could cross paths with the past protagonist's. Idk I would just love that
Regarding Drascua - "To become a hagraven, witches must get a living sacrifice. This can be seen by doing the quest set out by Illia once you enter a hagraven cult's hideout." So she probably started out human and sacrificed someone to become a Hagraven to exchange their appearance and beauty for magic power.
You know.. Alduin, miraak and harkon might be the boss that tries to take over tamreil but there's one boss who hides in plain sight and need to be perished from the world.. Its nazeem.. We need to send him to the oblivion
Honestly, one of the hardest minor boss antagonists I've ever face is during the quest forbidden legends. Facing the Gauldurson is one thing, but three of them at once!

@@fugo5464 I think Miraak is the best final boss because he introduces the most new stuff to the game, dragon taming and riding and the Dragon Aspect shout has got to be my favourite shout in the game. Both Harkon and Alduin are kinda cool but once you've beaten them but Miraak is just too cool - The Last Dragonborn vs the First, it's too perfect.
@@Harry-iq4xt honestly, Harkon was easily the toughest of these three for me. Alduin was quite easy and somehow I managed to kill Miraak without any large trouble. But I fought Harkon a thousand times and he just always beat my ass.
Got one of those too haha!. Will the xbox 360 version not work on the xbox one as a backward compatible version?(I know it was released on the xbox one as an upgrade but thought I'd ask since all the 360 games I've tried have had no real problems!
interesting fact about the last 2 dragons we do know how long they've been there if you go there during the dawnguard quest without advancing the main quest to the point dragons spawn there will be 2 dragon skeletons under the ice and if you go when they are resurrected the skeletons are gone
The 2 dovahs beneath the ice are clearly the most memorable for me. When I walked over this frozen lake for the first time I've got the distinct feeling of "it's quite... too quite..." and then those two dovahs just popping out of their icy depth... That really baffled me big time and the tough fight made it not only unique, but it really felt legendary. Oh and one thing: I wouldn't really say that Odahviing switched sides per se. He was always pursuing his own beliefs his whole life and when he felt that Alduin isn't really worth following anymore he just did his own "thing". And when he finally was imprisoned by the Dovahkiin, his cooperation is (at least in my opinion) mostly because he wants to see that he was right with his decision to abandon Alduin. After the Dovahkiin defeated Alduin it mostly feels like that he's grateful for proving him right and that he's aware that he better shouldn't mess with the Dovahkiin. Although he offered his services to the Dovahkiin, he still said that if you call him for aid, he will come *when he can*. This implies that he's still doing his own thing from that point on, but since he acknowledged the power of the Dovahkiin and wants to keep a good impression he will come for aid as long it doesn't really prevent him from going his own way. (Of course: Everything's my own point of view and it's not really based on facts and lore)
In my current play through Skyrim, I have a high enough Speech skill to get The Caller to just give me the books, but Lucien, as I was leaving was like, "Are you sure we should have just let her go?" So I went into sneak mode and shot her in the face, just to please him. lol
The twin dragons in the forgotten vale scared the hell out of me when they appeared. Also, if I remember correctly, you can use the dragon rend shout to force to dragons to land and I’m pretty sure it works (I remember taking them out while they were grounded but it was ages ago since I fought them so I don’t quite remember).
Regarding Drascua: it's obvious she became a Hagraven after she left Markarth, through a Forsworn ritual. She probably felt she'd be able to protect the Pommel better that way. Perhaps she came close to losing it during the Markarth Incident, and she felt this was the only way to become strong enough to fulfill her obligation.
One of the quests explains that hagravens were once witches/hags that go through a ceremony to become a hagraven. It's a hard to find tower somewhere in the south of Skyrim but I do remember the mage you help explaining that she wants to stop her mother from becoming a hagraven and if you help her she becomes a follower.
Hagravens are not "born" they are converted. Though i believe they maybe able to give birth. And according to the internet. There seems to be some people that are willing to take on that task.
Considering you as the Dragonborn is apparently one of the people who are ready to jump the bones of a hagraven, maybe it's not that much of a stretch, even though blackout amounts of alcohol was involved.
I remember the two dragons. Great fun fight as I recall. Though I wasn't alone. I had Serana, I summoned Arneil to help. Maybe Durniveir with a shout, don't recall.
"those with a high speech skill will be able to convince the caller to give the books." Piper: *charmspeak* (only those who read the Rick Riordan series will understand)
I absolutely love that you add in bits of lore to everything you list seriously I have learned more from watching you than playing the game for thousands of hours
Nate you should know that using the Skyrim menu music can lead to a copyright strike because another creator made a cover and owns the right according to CZcams. Ymfah has gotten a strike for this reason
The Caller is a reather fun enemy, though I always try to keep my High Elven student alive and at my side for the fight (my first Archmage ever just managed that). The Skeleton Dragon? FINALLY battled it (again, First Archmage) and it was, way easier than I expected (of course, I had 75-80% Destruction reductions, and was Dual Casting fireball after fireball, taking a few shots at the skeltons around). Hagraven? I havent done Pieces of the Past in quite a few plays, so I dont recall her, but I do know I managed to take her out with trouble (I think it was a stealth archer). Havent fought Minorne yet, though I hope to soon. I never did the side quest to get Florentius, but hope to in my current playthrough. The Dragon Twins. Ah, yes. Only One time have I fought them, but after slaying the first, I was finally able to call Durnheviir to my side for the first time. Gotta say, I was crying a bit in joy when he helped me down that difficult second one. Now if he could have only helped against the Arch Curate. I never beat him... DARN HIS ATRONACH!
The arch curate tho XD remember when he runs to the balcony and stays at the edge? I just frickin used Unrelenting Force Shout to throw him off the cliff then waited for the shout to cool down the used Become Ethereal to jump down to loot him XD
The twin dragons were my all-time-high first time I met them. Way past level 50, playing with my armored-battlemage, throwing thunderbolt like crazy and using a lot of restoration to keep my head above water. Hard as hell to evade them, the greatest battle I fought before retiring my PS3
The skeletal dragon gives you the opportunity to craft a legit way to get dragon bones and craft a dragon bone weapon before doing Dragon Rising, meaning you have a LEGIT WAY to kill the very first dragon you kill in the game, with a dragon bone weapon. I've done it several times. It's so much fun!
The twin dragon fight was one of my favourite dragon fights ever. They weren’t super hard (especially with Serana and her mother as followers) they were a little tricky but they’re so unique and so surprising that I couldn’t help but love them
Legendary can be tough, I recommend an enchanted dragonscale shield that resists frost and fire enchantments by 35% or more. The shield does work! It's better than using a ward spell cuz it won't drain your magicka. Playing range and hiding behind a rock is pretty cheap and boring, but you sound like you're willing to try anything to beat them, so that's a suggestion. An enchanted shield, a good bow and arrow, with a lot of healing potions (including resist fire or cold), healing spell, and you should be good. You could try destruction spells but you're better off using a bow and arrow. I rather save my magicka for quick healing personally. I guess it just really depends on your playstyle. Full on mage is effective for sure but once your magicka runs out, you're going to rely on conventional weapons like bows and swords anyways. When it comes to close combat with a sword and shield, it's risky as hell, especially in skyrim vr where sometimes your shield block doesn't register, and you got full on hit by a bite or blast of fire, which is why healing potions is a must. Direct damage (power slashes) is always better but little room for a quick run away or general effective defense. Even Charging towards a legendary dragon with an enchanted shield and decent steel sword is pretty fucking stupid but Damn fun when it works and you still survive. I think it's a given that you should have a follower in your hunts and ventures. May talos guide you, traveler.
I remember facing the skeleton dragon! I was so confused and felt like I couldn't take it on since the only thing I maxed out at the time was my sneaking skill. I was crouched down in the room and shooting a bunch of arrows at it. And every time it would come centimeters away from my face and then walk away, not seeing me. It took a long time to clear the room but I managed to slowly kill it and the others with my sneaking skill. Any time I ran out of arrows, I would sneak my way over to the skeletons that had arrows and take theirs lol ah good times.
Those two dragons could land. I know that for a fact because I saw it. I was in The Vail with Serana and Cicero and in the middle of fighting I saw one land. I was trying to shoot it and I was not missing, but it's health wouldn't go down. That was until I realized Cicero was on it's head stabbing at it. He was doing that one death move.
5:59 The skeletal dragon in the mages college quest line that you can fight before dragon rising without glitches. If you use some finicky collision stuff you can finish diplomatic immunity before starting it which will spawn in some dragons while still not having even been to whiterun if you want to try. In blackreach, which you can get into early with more glitches or go to it during the dawnguard questline(s) id assume, you can also get a draugr to shout at the bell thing to summoning secret dragon boss. I haven't done the latter thing, but it works apparently. So with glitches you can fight a dragon or two before dragon. Rising
Tiny Detail (sort of) The Ignite spell (granted by Ahzidal’s Ring of Arcana) actually stacks. It has a very low base cost at higher levels (down to 8 magic, iirc) so it can be repeatedly casted. If you hit the same target a few times, it will make even the strongest of dragons a total joke.
The skeletal dragon has a weakness to fire, and the most powerful boss in the game is the annoying frost troll that you encounter on your way to high hrothgar that kills lydia 50% of the time
Those Forgotten Vale dragons, I've actually gone out on the ice and they didn't appear. Turns out their spawn trigger is the same for the others even though they're DLC. You have to finish Dragon Rising and defeat your first dragon before the rest will spawn in the world, including the Twins under the ice, so you can visit every Dragon Wall in the world and get the word without having to kill the dragon first except for a few places that house more semi bosses than their dragons. The Wall above Winterhold has a Dragon Priest if I remember, besides the dragon itself.
You can call Durnehviir to help you fight Voslaarum and Noslaarum in the Forgotten Vale, if you haven't already used up the three times you get to call him. You just need to find a piece of land big enough on which to summon him. You can't summon him on the ice.
That skeletal dragon is also in an underground cave, where there is not much room for it to fly anway. It could maybe a jumped around though, or flown up and climbed on the ceiling or something, that could have been cool. In contrast, that dragon you can fight in Blackreach, well it's in Blackreach. Which is huge, and had plenty of room for the dragon to fly around.
I have a funny tale to tell about the first time i met the caller, i was level 37 on my first character, heavy armor duel wield khajiit, i was absolutely ripping through her forces as a near maxed out werewolf. When i got to her, she popped out the same dialogue as if you were talking normally, and i was able to talk back. So it was just a necromancer arch-mage and a bloodthirsty werewolf, having a nice little chat before i ripped her apart.

Load him with Arrows while Partysnax distracts him, and hide partially behind the big rock on the Throat of the World. It's super easy. I'll tell you what's hard, it's a fight with a dragon and three lurkers at your back!

"A new hand touches the..." no stop it!
"Murdered to death" yes nailed it!
Hey Nate, playing Skyrim right now, thank you for giving me a reason to take a break for my health lol
"Arkay has been watching over me for years now. Ask Arkay, he will tell you."
I wanna be an evil god, I'd invent a jig...and call it.....the the .....AHH THE FISHSTICK
UNCLE SHEO WOULD BE PLEASED WITH YOU
I would love a dlc where you get stuck In a time portal and traveled through morrowind and oblivion trying to fix the timeline and could cross paths with the past protagonist's. Idk I would just love that
I would too, but Dragon Breaks already make the timeline so complicated, so I imagine this idea would make the lore creators rip their hair out lol
I think it would turn into the whole thing well why don't we time travel to fix all our problems
Regarding Drascua -
"To become a hagraven, witches must get a living sacrifice. This can be seen by doing the quest set out by Illia once you enter a hagraven cult's hideout."
So she probably started out human and sacrificed someone to become a Hagraven to exchange their appearance and beauty for magic power.
You know.. Alduin, miraak and harkon might be the boss that tries to take over tamreil but there's one boss who hides in plain sight and need to be perished from the world.. Its nazeem.. We need to send him to the oblivion
Fool. The Cloud District is Nazeem's plane of Oblivion.
SyluxV lol
Do you get to Blood Feast very often? Oh what am I thinking, of course you aren't.
Oblivions too good lemme send him straight to sithis
Oh, don't worry about him. He and Heimskr are tucked away in one of my soulgem drawers in Breezehome.
Honestly, one of the hardest minor boss antagonists I've ever face is during the quest forbidden legends. Facing the Gauldurson is one thing, but three of them at once!
Agreed. I wasn't able to beat them easily even when I was covered in glass armour from head to toe
Well, they didnt give me much trouble, i just stayed near the altar while sneaking and pelting them with exploding bolts and just watching them trying to look for me XD
one of my favourite boss fights! super underrated
You can go into Sneak by the altar and get a sneak shot with your favorite bow, that should help out
I cheesed them with stealth archery lmao

He did get Corprus when he tried to return to his people so he went to Divayth Fyr's Corprusarium. Tis where he remains till this day. Atleast I think so.

The Dragonborn is actually the greatest final boss in all of Skyrim.
Thats. Technically accurate. Cuz miraak is a dragonborn. But wether theyre the best final boss is now opinion :p
@@fugo5464 I think Miraak is the best final boss because he introduces the most new stuff to the game, dragon taming and riding and the Dragon Aspect shout has got to be my favourite shout in the game. Both Harkon and Alduin are kinda cool but once you've beaten them but Miraak is just too cool - The Last Dragonborn vs the First, it's too perfect.
That holds true for another reason. To the Ebony Warrior, you are the Final Boss.
@@Harry-iq4xt honestly, Harkon was easily the toughest of these three for me. Alduin was quite easy and somehow I managed to kill Miraak without any large trouble. But I fought Harkon a thousand times and he just always beat my ass.
@@rankovasek1987 harkon was easy for me, but miraak took me a long time to kill.
This hurts so much to watch. My Xbox broke a while ago and I haven't played Skyrim and I think I'm going through withdrawal

@@davidh7177 It was a 360 that broke, I have a one just not Skyrim for it.
Got one of those too haha!. Will the xbox 360 version not work on the xbox one as a backward compatible version?(I know it was released on the xbox one as an upgrade but thought I'd ask since all the 360 games I've tried have had no real problems!
David Hendry The Xbox 360 disc is incompatible with the Xbox One console. I know from experience, and I had to go 4 years without playing it.
Ah shit, sorry for you loss and all that!
interesting fact about the last 2 dragons we do know how long they've been there if you go there during the dawnguard quest without advancing the main quest to the point dragons spawn there will be 2 dragon skeletons under the ice and if you go when they are resurrected the skeletons are gone
The 2 dovahs beneath the ice are clearly the most memorable for me. When I walked over this frozen lake for the first time I've got the distinct feeling of "it's quite... too quite..." and then those two dovahs just popping out of their icy depth... That really baffled me big time and the tough fight made it not only unique, but it really felt legendary.
Oh and one thing: I wouldn't really say that Odahviing switched sides per se. He was always pursuing his own beliefs his whole life and when he felt that Alduin isn't really worth following anymore he just did his own "thing". And when he finally was imprisoned by the Dovahkiin, his cooperation is (at least in my opinion) mostly because he wants to see that he was right with his decision to abandon Alduin. After the Dovahkiin defeated Alduin it mostly feels like that he's grateful for proving him right and that he's aware that he better shouldn't mess with the Dovahkiin. Although he offered his services to the Dovahkiin, he still said that if you call him for aid, he will come *when he can*. This implies that he's still doing his own thing from that point on, but since he acknowledged the power of the Dovahkiin and wants to keep a good impression he will come for aid as long it doesn't really prevent him from going his own way. (Of course: Everything's my own point of view and it's not really based on facts and lore)
Hey Nate, it's notification guys, here.

Everyone: 😨
"Why Lydia keeps standing in doorways"
7:02 Ah yes, my favorite daedric Lord. Maroon.
Oh yes. I kneel before the might of...-looks at hand- darkish red.
In my current play through Skyrim, I have a high enough Speech skill to get The Caller to just give me the books, but Lucien, as I was leaving was like, "Are you sure we should have just let her go?" So I went into sneak mode and shot her in the face, just to please him. lol
The twin dragons in the forgotten vale scared the hell out of me when they appeared. Also, if I remember correctly, you can use the dragon rend shout to force to dragons to land and I’m pretty sure it works (I remember taking them out while they were grounded but it was ages ago since I fought them so I don’t quite remember).
Regarding Drascua: it's obvious she became a Hagraven after she left Markarth, through a Forsworn ritual. She probably felt she'd be able to protect the Pommel better that way. Perhaps she came close to losing it during the Markarth Incident, and she felt this was the only way to become strong enough to fulfill her obligation.
Last time I was this early nate was still starting off his videos with how big skyrim is
Cousin: your still playing that same game?
Me: your still asking the same question?
One of the quests explains that hagravens were once witches/hags that go through a ceremony to become a hagraven. It's a hard to find tower somewhere in the south of Skyrim but I do remember the mage you help explaining that she wants to stop her mother from becoming a hagraven and if you help her she becomes a follower.
Darklight Tower in the Rift
And most probably the best mage follower for me
You’ve forgot about Durnehviir. He is both a Dovah you can face before Dragon Rising and a unique dialogue encounter should you decide to do so.
13:48 it hurts to know that you can’t just stealth and save everyone
It's always so neat to learn more about enemies and characters I never took the time to learn about. Thanks dude 😊✌
If the dragonborn didnt kill her and take the part, who was hagraven gonna give it to? I dont see something like that getting any kids
I dunno. Considering most forsworn females sound like the stereotypical Jersey mother-in-law, there's bound to be some guy that desperate.
Havravens sometimes kidnap women and turn them into more hagravens, so maybe that's who would get it.
Hagravens are not "born" they are converted. Though i believe they maybe able to give birth. And according to the internet. There seems to be some people that are willing to take on that task.
@@TheDouble094 i know they are "blessed" by a deadra if remember right. Just seems weird getting it on with a bird woman
Considering you as the Dragonborn is apparently one of the people who are ready to jump the bones of a hagraven, maybe it's not that much of a stretch, even though blackout amounts of alcohol was involved.
I just recently fought two frost dragons at once with a Sabre cat as well. It felt like a boss battle to me
I wish stuff like minornes staff actually did what it should do, for example instead of casting a weak calm spell you can mind control people
I remember the two dragons. Great fun fight as I recall. Though I wasn't alone. I had Serana, I summoned Arneil to help. Maybe Durniveir with a shout, don't recall.

@@miceymen1503 Saga?
The Caller is a reather fun enemy, though I always try to keep my High Elven student alive and at my side for the fight (my first Archmage ever just managed that).
The Skeleton Dragon? FINALLY battled it (again, First Archmage) and it was, way easier than I expected (of course, I had 75-80% Destruction reductions, and was Dual Casting fireball after fireball, taking a few shots at the skeltons around).
Hagraven? I havent done Pieces of the Past in quite a few plays, so I dont recall her, but I do know I managed to take her out with trouble (I think it was a stealth archer).
Havent fought Minorne yet, though I hope to soon. I never did the side quest to get Florentius, but hope to in my current playthrough.
The Dragon Twins. Ah, yes. Only One time have I fought them, but after slaying the first, I was finally able to call Durnheviir to my side for the first time. Gotta say, I was crying a bit in joy when he helped me down that difficult second one. Now if he could have only helped against the Arch Curate. I never beat him... DARN HIS ATRONACH!
The arch curate tho XD remember when he runs to the balcony and stays at the edge? I just frickin used Unrelenting Force Shout to throw him off the cliff then waited for the shout to cool down the used Become Ethereal to jump down to loot him XD
Noxius Gamer I only managed to battle him the one time, but I may take that Fus Ro Dah advice. May not though, since it would be too easy.
Well it was an accident on my part,
I didnt know I could throw him off the cliff like that XD
The twin dragons were my all-time-high first time I met them.
Way past level 50, playing with my armored-battlemage, throwing thunderbolt like crazy and using a lot of restoration to keep my head above water. Hard as hell to evade them, the greatest battle I fought before retiring my PS3
Oh man I love this channel so much. I hope you never run out of things to find in Skyrim ❤️
Last time I was this late, I missed the moment when Alduin returned to the future and ultimately ate all of Nirn.
Last time i was this early high king torygg was still alive
The skeletal dragon gives you the opportunity to craft a legit way to get dragon bones and craft a dragon bone weapon before doing Dragon Rising, meaning you have a LEGIT WAY to kill the very first dragon you kill in the game, with a dragon bone weapon.
I've done it several times. It's so much fun!
The twin dragon fight was one of my favourite dragon fights ever. They weren’t super hard (especially with Serana and her mother as followers) they were a little tricky but they’re so unique and so surprising that I couldn’t help but love them
How did you get her Mother as a follower?

keep up the great consistent content Nate! quite epic
Those two dragons are why I couldn’t beat the Dawnguard DLC... I just couldn’t kill them and after like my tenth try, I stopped trying...
Legendary can be tough, I recommend an enchanted dragonscale shield that resists frost and fire enchantments by 35% or more. The shield does work! It's better than using a ward spell cuz it won't drain your magicka. Playing range and hiding behind a rock is pretty cheap and boring, but you sound like you're willing to try anything to beat them, so that's a suggestion. An enchanted shield, a good bow and arrow, with a lot of healing potions (including resist fire or cold), healing spell, and you should be good. You could try destruction spells but you're better off using a bow and arrow. I rather save my magicka for quick healing personally. I guess it just really depends on your playstyle. Full on mage is effective for sure but once your magicka runs out, you're going to rely on conventional weapons like bows and swords anyways.
When it comes to close combat with a sword and shield, it's risky as hell, especially in skyrim vr where sometimes your shield block doesn't register, and you got full on hit by a bite or blast of fire, which is why healing potions is a must. Direct damage (power slashes) is always better but little room for a quick run away or general effective defense. Even Charging towards a legendary dragon with an enchanted shield and decent steel sword is pretty fucking stupid but Damn fun when it works and you still survive. I think it's a given that you should have a follower in your hunts and ventures. May talos guide you, traveler.

Great stuff as always Nate
I remember facing the skeleton dragon! I was so confused and felt like I couldn't take it on since the only thing I maxed out at the time was my sneaking skill. I was crouched down in the room and shooting a bunch of arrows at it. And every time it would come centimeters away from my face and then walk away, not seeing me. It took a long time to clear the room but I managed to slowly kill it and the others with my sneaking skill. Any time I ran out of arrows, I would sneak my way over to the skeletons that had arrows and take theirs lol ah good times.
17:43 their names mean Bert & Ernie.
Those two dragons could land. I know that for a fact because I saw it.
I was in The Vail with Serana and Cicero and in the middle of fighting I saw one land. I was trying to shoot it and I was not missing, but it's health wouldn't go down. That was until I realized Cicero was on it's head stabbing at it.
He was doing that one death move.
I think those two dragons in the forgotten vale are fascinating! I've never even heard or come across them (thankfully).

The skeletal dragon in the mages college quest line that you can fight before dragon rising without glitches. If you use some finicky collision stuff you can finish diplomatic immunity before starting it which will spawn in some dragons while still not having even been to whiterun if you want to try. In blackreach, which you can get into early with more glitches or go to it during the dawnguard questline(s) id assume, you can also get a draugr to shout at the bell thing to summoning secret dragon boss. I haven't done the latter thing, but it works apparently.
So with glitches you can fight a dragon or two before dragon. Rising
Tiny Detail (sort of)
The Ignite spell (granted by Ahzidal’s Ring of Arcana) actually stacks. It has a very low base cost at higher levels (down to 8 magic, iirc) so it can be repeatedly casted. If you hit the same target a few times, it will make even the strongest of dragons a total joke.
The skeletal dragon has a weakness to fire, and the most powerful boss in the game is the annoying frost troll that you encounter on your way to high hrothgar that kills lydia 50% of the time
Those Forgotten Vale dragons, I've actually gone out on the ice and they didn't appear. Turns out their spawn trigger is the same for the others even though they're DLC. You have to finish Dragon Rising and defeat your first dragon before the rest will spawn in the world, including the Twins under the ice, so you can visit every Dragon Wall in the world and get the word without having to kill the dragon first except for a few places that house more semi bosses than their dragons. The Wall above Winterhold has a Dragon Priest if I remember, besides the dragon itself.
One more thing about "the Caller", she also says and i qoute," Oh another of Aren's lackeys, shame your with the college, You show real PROMISE".
What you said about Drascua looking different while living in Markarth, reminded me of Sméagol/Gollum in LOTR.
Grats on exactly 650 000 subscribers Nate!
You can call Durnehviir to help you fight Voslaarum and Noslaarum in the Forgotten Vale, if you haven't already used up the three times you get to call him. You just need to find a piece of land big enough on which to summon him. You can't summon him on the ice.
The 2 dragon’s do land on the ice I just did u got a pic too great vid nate love them
Love it Nate!
That skeletal dragon is also in an underground cave, where there is not much room for it to fly anway. It could maybe a jumped around though, or flown up and climbed on the ceiling or something, that could have been cool.
In contrast, that dragon you can fight in Blackreach, well it's in Blackreach. Which is huge, and had plenty of room for the dragon to fly around.
Nate says hes clickbaiting us by including an extra fact. I cant say how much I love this guy
I have a funny tale to tell about the first time i met the caller, i was level 37 on my first character, heavy armor duel wield khajiit, i was absolutely ripping through her forces as a near maxed out werewolf. When i got to her, she popped out the same dialogue as if you were talking normally, and i was able to talk back. So it was just a necromancer arch-mage and a bloodthirsty werewolf, having a nice little chat before i ripped her apart.
Thx for the story with the hagraven. Did not know thos. Cool
The last one scared the absolute piss out of me lmao, but they weren't terribly hard to beat with Serana
