Interesting Dragon Battles

Skyrim's AI is smart but not to extent you just described

They are known to just randomly drop in towns. They aren't just limited to the tundra and other wide open spaces. If that's what you mean.

Those bastard lizards won't leave me alone; I've killed 10, including the initial one and the dragon at Kynesgrove. The most interesting fight... Probably when two of them attacked Riverwood, right as I was arriving to turn in Diplomatic Immunity. That was nuts, though not actually that hard. A lot of cover to snipe from and loads of people to distract them.

ahh i remember one fight i had with a dragon in a forest i had to be quick and precise with the timing of my shots or they would just stick into a tree or fly away into the sky eventually after a great deal of time ducking through the trees and avoiding its "bombing runs" i lured it to a clearing and finished it off after a fierce melee battle ahhh my pulse races just remembering that battle for a brief moment i could have sworn i smelt the burning dead leaves and felt the wind from the dragons wings that was a battle i will never forget.

I had a REALLY cool fight. It was a fight against some Whiterun guards, 2 dragons, and me. We were shooting them when one of them swooped down and grabbed a guard and dropped him. He obviously died from the fall. So the other dragon came swooping down and used its fire on us. I retreated to the nearby Watch tower. I went to the top and shot a few arrows. Now half of the guards were charred. I used my **SPOILER**SPOILER DragonRend shout **SPOILER**SPOILER**. The dragon I hit fell form the sky and and touched the ground. I killed it. The other half of guards disappeared from the fight. The dragon was now firing at me using all of its power trying to kill me. I got out my poisoned bow and Shot the dragon. The arrow that I shot was the killing blow( I would to if someone shot an arrow into my mouth then my throat)

Yes, that happened to me in Falkreath. The people in the town stand in a circle around you and the dragon's bones. This guy is not talking bull.

I was doing a simple task from the companions to kill a Sabre Cat in someones house in Riverwood. After I completed the task I walked out, only for a dragon to appear. At first, I was thrilled. That was, until 3 thugs approached me and wanted me dead for stealing. So now I was being chased by a dragon and 3 thugs. The thugs completely ignored the dragon. It was insane. I ended up running towards some civilians for a distraction while I killed the thugs while the dragon was occupied with the local guards.

That was the most surprising and the most insane battle I want through.

I have yet to see a dragon in my game and I'm at lvl 12. I'm considering running some more main quest if this keeps up. I want to fight a dragon already. -.-

So what have been some of your most interesting dragon battles?

My first one i would say was interesting was one decided it was a good idea to to drop into the middle of the Winterhold College... lol me and like 10 other mages toasted him in about 2 minutes.

My second one was one caught me out in the plains beside Whiterun and chased me al the way to the city. out of curiosity i entered the city to see if it would follow into the separate cell. it did and me and all the townsfolk had a good time with it. after i absorbed the soul in the little court yard just below the jarls place i turned around and the whole town was sitting there staring at me and remarking how it was amazing that i just absorbed its soul.


i know its epc when a dragon dies in a city

Well, I was attacked in the courtyard of the College of Winterhold so it were about 5-6 wizards that shoot it down for me so I(melee based character) could go in for the kill.

Another battle was pretty interresting too. I was headed up a mountain(don't remember which) and this fire breathing dragon attacks(I'm Nord so no resistance) me, but it does not land due too the narrow path. I constantly have too heal as I try too find a more open area and then on the way up I run into a frost troll. The dragon fries us both pretty good, but I manage too heal again and kill the troll. Finally I came too the summit and could engage the dragon and finally kill that thing. Seriously, it harrased me for like 15 minutes.

just had the most WTF battle of my life lol. I was in beast form and i ran into a bandit camp to feed. there was about 8-10 bandits there and i managed to kill and feed on two before a frost dragon showed up the bandits divided their attention between and the dragon. i tried to distance my self but then i ran into a fire mage and a conjurer fighting which then joined in fighting me the bandits and the dragon. last we were joined by a cave bear, realizing that the situation i was in was a giant cluster [censored] i tries to run away but to my dismay right as i tried to leave i changed back into my human form and with no armour and already no health the dragon killed me in one breath of frost.

long story short don't try to fight dragons and bandits at the same time as a werewolf lol.

i had some random guy talk to me mid battle and said something like "take this sword, i'll find you later then give it back to me, if you don't i'll kill you".
he then ran away and another guy came a few secs later and said "did that guy give you a sword?"
i said, "yea, i assume this is yours?"
he said, "yup" he took it then left...
strangest thing to happen during a dragon battle!!! :D

lol I just ran into that guy. He all came sneaking up said that and then he snuck away. I was like wtf. :laugh:

lol omg, i had something similar happen. as soon as i finished the quest for Azura and she brought me back to my body, my view was slightly to the left and i could see a dragon flying through the mountains looking directly at me. i was sitting there listening to Azura and praying to the 9 that it didnt come up and attack me. after the longest 45 seconds of my life were over i FT to the college where the dragon i posted about attacked me.... i wonder if it was the same one?

I got the Dragon Word near Mehrunes Dagon Shrine, A dragon Appeared. It landed. I swear it was Giving me a Look within its eyes... As I was learning the Word... He could sense my ability. My kinship to him.

But In real life, I was mortified, and amped up my 2 hand damage with Beserker potion...

Frozen Shouted him,


and took its head off....

I was up against a dragoon which was far superior to me at my current level. The dragon i was up against was obvously quite hungry as it decided to ignore me and
go after some bigger game, two fully developed mammoths. The poor dragon landed next to the mammoths getting ready for a barbeque before it was ambushed by giants. The dragon only lasted a few seconds before it had the life bashed out of him. Me being the poacher that i am, hopped up on a close mountain, shot a few arrows to get the giants to run away and that dragon soul was mine for the taking.

I left the giants a letter saying thanks for the help, I owe you one
and sorry for shooting you ^_^
