After Almost a Decade, Skyrim Fans Find a Neat Trick to Get Free Dragon Souls

Skyrim, the epic game that has captivated players for over a decade, continues to harbor many secrets in the game that are yet to be unfolded. The extensive game gives players hundreds of hours of gameplay, with things still left to explore. While it differs from the online version of Elder Online, many players enjoy the single-player campaign. And one secret that was missed by a certain player has sparked a discussion online.

In Skyrim, players need to collect Dragon Souls to activate words for the “shout” mechanic in the game. These dragon souls can only be obtained by finding slain dragons around the map. During a play-through by one player, they started a new profile only to stumble upon a location they had somehow missed during their initial adventures, leading to discussions among Skyrim enthusiasts.

In a Reddit post that has become quite a conversation starter, a dedicated Skyrim player shared their experience of playing Skyrim since 2015. They mentioned how they usually play through the game twice a year and have been modding the game for the past four years.

While playing the game for over 8 years, the user stumbled upon an undiscovered ruin. Upon seeing that, the player wanted to check if they had forgotten something in the ruins. When the player went ahead to explore the ruin, they noticed a tomb that they had not seen before. After reaching the tomb, the player interacts with it to activate it.

Upon activating the tomb, the player finds a new word to use within the shouts. Activating the tomb gave the player a dragon soul, which unlocked a new power for them. The newly noticed shout is called Unrelenting Force, and the player was surprised to come across it after playing the game for multiple years.

Skyrim fans start to backtrack their progress

Many players who noticed this post started checking their quest logs to see if they had come across this ruin. One completionist decided to backtrack their progress to complete the quest and unlock the new word for the shout.

Another hidden trick was brought to light by a player who discovered it by accident. The trick was to use the first word of power for fire breath while going to party snacks. This makes the party snack character give the player the second word. If players hurry and use their own dragon soul before getting the “His Understanding” shout, they can glitch the game to get the third power.

The original poster added some more information to help other players complete the quest. They said that players need to bring the dragon soul back to Graybeard and just show it to them, and they will grant the player the reward.

One player had heard about this quest but decided to skip it as it would require a lot of backtracking. They stated how they prefer slaying a dragon themselves to get the soul, as it is much faster.

A glitcher shared a tip on how activating the Horn quickly twice would grant players 2 dragon souls instead of one.

While this mystery is not unknown to the community, the effort needed to claim one dragon soul was the reason it was widely skipped. Beyond that, navigating to it seems like a prolonged task for the reward players can claim. The resurfacing of this once-lost quest has intrigued many players to try it out. As many players are all about getting that 100%, have you explored the ruins to get the dragon’s soul? Let us know in the comments below.
