derp

Motherfucker killed my horse -_____- shit got personal to say the least..

I'm gonna smash that dragon with my greatsword.

I'd ride that dragon...

fucking elder and ancient dragons man.

its like ,,, fuck.
gotta quicksave often when fighting those ( I am a melee player so I get a lot of chompings on me )
although shield bash helps

sneak/archery at 100. Problem elder dragon?

Wait ancient dragons? SON OF A BITCH

i haven't fought either yet, i don't have much free time so i'm lvl 26, in fact the reason i'm not playing right now is because my uncle is staying here and won't get off the tv. he won't be leaving until Thursday, when i go by my dad, where i don't have an xbox. i cannot describe my rage.

Hit it from the side to avoid it from nomnom'ing you.

then the wings attack you,
but rather it seems that at a point, the nomming is rather hard to avoid.

like those sudden one-hitting arrows
But i've gotten into a routine where I shield bash every time he attacks, and use elemental fury to just get them down fast

The wings arent THAT bad, i would recommend Mechrunes Razor, it has a small chance of a 1 hit KO.

Went up to a dragon and hit him once, instantly died. Thought it was pretty funny.

I can take elder/ancient dragons with light armor and dual daggers. Dragonrend them first (or shoot with a bow - I have close to 100 archery), then use the shout that lowers their armor/defense (can't remember name - one of the words is in the dark brotherhood sanctuary), and power attack them while circling them. It works like a charm.

Use a lot of potions that paralyze it. It was the only way I was able to kill my first Elder Dragon. That and the fact that I CAN BREATH FIREEEEEEEEEEE.

if you wanna be melee you gata go against your instincts, hit their mouth and it will recoil, you can also shield bash, but I still get hit with the wings, I do the best when I fight it face to face

On my first playthrough I was a Nord (50% frost resist) with Nightingale Armor (30% frost resist). Frost dragons ain't got shit on me.

Frost dragons ? .. really ?

Dude , my first time running into a ancient dragon it went like this :
> See dragon in the sky
> "I'll so take his soul and unlock slow time MOFOOOOSS !!!11ONE1"
> Hit dragon with about 10 arrows ( see the life not going the fuck down .... thinking i missed )
> Use dragonrend to make the fucker land
> Fucker lands
> Go up close and personal usng my fucking awesome 100 Damage dagger ( yes i know it was a PoS .. i was only lvl 18 .. dont judge )
> I start having a fit hitting it , dragon HP goes down 2 pixels
> Shit pants
> Dragon LITERRALY eats me
> Contemplate life
> Quit for the day and ponder why did i quicksave right in the middle of that fight
> :(

I have no idea which dragon is which. I'm gonna assume that the frost dragon shoots frosty blue goodness right?

Regular dragon: dark green/black, breathes fire
Frost dragon: white-ish, breathes frost
Blood dragon: green/gray, spaded tail, breathes fire or frost
Elder dragon: orange, breathes fire or frost
Ancient dragon: red, breathes fire or frost
Skeletal dragon: reanimated dragon corpse, breathes fire, soulless

And there are five named dragons (that I know of): Paarthurnax, Odahviing, Alduin, and two others fought during the main story (can't remember names).

it's odd, i ran into a normal dragon breathing frost, it just about killed cicero

The first one you fight is milmunir

Yep, I just looked it up. There's actually about 10 or 11 named dragons.

Btw thanks man.

I've gotten fucked by ALL OF THOSE! except for the few regular and blood dragons that attacked me..

I was in winterhold the other day and i heard one of the guards complaining about his cousin is out fighting dragons. and all i see is an Elder Dragon fly by and freeze him to death. almost pissed myself laughing :\

beautiful, my good sir

I lol'd

wait until you hit level 45 ish...Ancient Dragons are really annoying... I have 100 one handed and they still take forever to kill

right now im lvl 37, full daedric, with an ebony mace that has 126 or so damage :P am i doing it right?

Pretty much...Get enchanting to level 100 and take all the perks you can for it...then put "can improve armor /weapons by whatever %" more on as many pieces as you can, drink a potion to help improve even more, then improve daedric armor and weapons..i did that and my armor rating / damage is out the butthole

do you by any chance know the recipe for blacksmithing potions? so i can upgrade my daedric gear some more??

I'm not sure what the biggest potion you can make for improving weapons and armor is but I have found the largest potion for that to be 50%...sadly i do not know the recipe :( try the elder scrolls wiki once the game has been out a little while longer

all i know is http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Fortify_Smithing if i try enough with these ingredients i might get one :P

Well stupidly enough most of the potions in skyrim aren't even made by things with those specific effects..you always need to add another random ingredient that makes no sense lol

fuck me

I know it's dumb :| I tried mixing two items with "restore health" properties and it says potion creation failed...there are apparently specific recipes you must use now unlike Oblivion

well thats quite upsetting, maybe ill drop one of those dragon priests with the masks, and it will have weapons and armor can be increases 20% better... if i can find a dragon priest

Is it me, or do they just not like to land?

dragonrend that bitch

Why didn't that one make front page!!! I thumbed you up good sir

why thank you. Haha

**grouchyfluff rolled a random image** because its missing potatos

Dragons seem to love landing there. I have no idea why. At least they die quickly thanks to all the essential-for-quest unkillable mages at the college...

Fought Three dragons there, on separate occasions. And I was double teamed by an elder and frost dragon on my level 42 warrior

Three more, Elder, Ancient, and ones that are named

There is a Skeletal Dragon, but that was during a specific quest in a cave. :u

Ok cool thanks

fucking hate Ancient Dragons
