Hi guys, heres my problem i have a number of words of power most i cant use as i havent absorbed dragon souls or so im told in game, I have killed a number of dragons and aborbed there souls but i still can't use my words of power whats going on here guys? I need your help.

You simply need to select the shout you wish to activate by using the "E" key if your using PC and then if I remember correctly you press the"R" key to accept and allow the learning of the new shout. Hope this helps. Sorry I do not play console, so I can't give advice on those platforms.

WORDS OF POWER must be UNLOCKED.

go into magic then go down to shouts.

chose the shout that you want to unlock and press the key /button that unlocks them. on 360 it is X.

Thank you, that's gonna be a great help now maybe i can progress a little further. Also can you tell me how to beat alduin as i've been battling him from lvl 10 and am now lvl 20 i have the dragon rend shout and now have the dragons bane sword but still cant beat him what am i doing wrong?

Go to magic/shouts/choose an available shout and on PS3 press square to use a dragon soul to activate the preferred shout.

You should've waited a while before progressing so far into the main quest. There are plenty of side and miscellaneous quests to keep you busy while you level up.

like others have suggested you need to level up more.

go to laborynthum and try the crypt there. bring clean armor.
