Fire breathing is one of the Screams in Skyrim. It allows the character to breathe fire, which deals damage and sets fire to enemies. In addition, Fire breath can cause enemies to stagger. It, like any other Scream in Skyrim, consists of three Power Words scattered throughout the game world. But where to find the Words of Fire breath in "Skyrim" and how can it be used?
Where is breathing best?
The scream is very effective against enemies with a vulnerability to fire, such as vampires, ice atronachs, frost dragons, dragoons, ice ghosts and trolls. Also with its help you can set fire to puddles with oil.
Meditation
There is a place in Skyrim where Fire Breath can be improved. If you reflect on the Word of Power Yol with Parturnax at the top of the Throat of the world, you will gain the Fiery Spirit skill. This skill allows you to make Fire Cry 25% stronger.
Dragonborn Flames
Dragonborn Flame becomes available with the addition of Dragonborn. It allows you to call a fire serpent from the body of the opponent defeated by the Fire breath. The serpent remains summoned for 60 seconds. A summoned creature will emerge from every opponent killed by Scream, so several snakes can fight on your side at the same time. For the Dragonborn Flame skill to work, all three Words must be present in the Cry of Fire Breath.
The appearance and animations of the fiery serpent are almost identical to the Ice Ghost. He has resistance to fire, and he can also use two Cries related to cold. After the expiration of the summoning time or after death, the snake explodes and causes damage to surrounding enemies. The fiery serpent does not follow the player who called it, like other called creatures.
Where to find Fire Breath in Skyrim
The scream consists of the words Yol - fire, Toor - flame and Shul - sun, you can find them in the Ancient Cairn, Divided Gorge and Gulp of the world, respectively. Gaining access to some of these places is possible only when completing the quest.
Quest "Test of Valor"
One of the Words of the Fire Breathing Force can be found in the Ancient Cairn during the mission of the Companions. Before receiving the quest, the entrance to the cairn is blocked. The assignment is issued by Skor after completing the quest "To Weapon".
The player will have to go southeast of Morphal and meet with Farkas near the Ancient Cairn. According to the quest, it is necessary to penetrate the Nordic ruins and find the fragment of Wootrad.
Clearing the ruins, Dovakin will inevitably fall into the trap and find himself behind bars in a small room. Meanwhile, Farkas is surrounded by people from the Silver Hand, and he will turn into a werewolf to deal with them. So the protagonist learns that members of the Companion Circle are werewolves.
At the end of the Ancient Cairn, you will find the chip and Wall of Words necessary for the quest with the first Word from the Creek Fiery Breath. To leave the ruins, you need to destroy all the dragoons, open the lock with a master key or find a hidden passage and climb up.
To complete the quest, you must return to Yorrvaskr, where the hero will be accepted into Companions and will be given a reward in the form of weapons of your choice.
Split gorge
The next Power Word is in the cave of the Ruined Gorge. It is the target location for some quests, but unlike the Ancient Cairn, you can get into it without tasks.
The divided gorge is located southeast of Roriksted, near Fort Sangard.
The cave is inhabited by magicians of various levels and necromancers with skeletons. You should also be wary of min-traps. In a certain place, one of these traps is activated if you kill a skeleton from a bow.
If you go to the north of the cave, then go to the intersection. Turning east will lead you to a dead end with three veins of silver ore. Way further north leads to a spike trap that protects a room with several magicians. There is also a chest in this room.
Walking along the wooden steps, you will reach the bridge that leads to the T- junction. On the right there will be a dead end, turning left, you will find yourself at a wooden door, behind which the road goes down to a room with a fiery trap of soul stones. Also in this room there is another door leading to a small room with a shelf on which there is a chest and random objects.
Further down the road is a room with an alchemical laboratory, guarded by two magicians. Moving deep into the cave, you will exit to the iron door leading to a multi-level room. She is guarded by two magicians and a fire atron.
At the top level of the room is the Wall of Words, and in front of it on the altar you will find the stone of Barenziah. In the same room lies a book that increases the skill of Witchcraft.
In the south corner of the room there is a grill, which is lowered by a chain on the left. Behind the bars is a small area with books and an alchemical laboratory. Having opened one more lattice in this zone, you will get to the entrance to the cave.
Quest "Throat of the World"
"Throat of the World" - this is one of the plot tasks, during which Dovakin needs to climb to the top of the Throat of the World and talk with the dragon Parturnaks.
To begin this quest, complete the quest “The Wall of Alduin”, find Arnheir in High Hrothgar and talk to him. He will get angry because Dovakin collaborates with the Blades. If you select the wrong answer options, then Arngeyr will refuse to help the hero. In this case, master Einart speaks and reminds Arngeir of duty. After that, Dovakin will be able to study the Creek "Clear Sky", allowing you to change the weather and dissipate the wall from the icy wind.
Now you need to go into the courtyard and recover up the path. Use Clear Sky to move on and climb the mountain. You may encounter ice ghosts and a troll along the way.
At the top of the mountain you will meet the dragon Parturnax. Before telling about Dragonfight, he will offer Dovakin to learn one of the Words of the Scream Fiery breath. Parturnax will direct his Scream to the Wall of Words nearby, allowing the hero to receive the Word.
When talking with Parturnax, it turns out that no dragon can use the Dragonboy, because this is the first Tu'um created by mortals, and the concept of mortality is beyond the understanding of dragons. According to Arnheira, the Dragonboy was filled with hatred of dragons (in order to learn it, you need to let this hatred into you).
In addition, Parturnax proposes to reflect on one of the words of the Fire Breath for an additional bonus.
The dragon says that for the first time Alduin was defeated not only with the help of Dragon Slayer, but also thanks to the Ancient Scroll. After using the Scream, an Ancient Scroll was used to send Alduin into the streams of time. However, Alduin was only sent to the future. From that day on, Parturnax remained where the Temporary Gap formed. He waited thousands of years for Alduin to reappear.
Next, your task becomes the search for the Ancient Scroll, which you can ask Arneira or Esburn for.
Notes
Here are some interesting facts related to Screaming Fire Breath at Skyrim:
- At the beginning of the game in Helgen during an attack, Alduin often uses this scream.
- This is the most commonly used dragons cry.
- Dragonborn's fiery breath and dragon are different screams. The one used by Dovakin is more like a dragon striking with a Ball of Fire than with a regular fire Cry of a dragon.
- If you spend your soul on the opening of the Word from the Scream, being at the top of the Throat of the World, before Parturnax teaches you this Word without spending the souls of dragons, you will receive the next Word of Power from the Scream “Fire breath”.
- When Parturnax teaches a player a new word, he speaks Yol in his dialogue, even if the player has already learned that word before meeting the dragon.
- Dovakin cannot fully learn the Scream unless the Companions quest in Ancient Cairn passes. However, if you spend your soul to study the Word on the Throat of the World before the dragon Parturnax teaches him, then technically you need only two Walls of Words to fully master the Fire breath. This means that you do not need to join Companions.
- In terms of damage per second, it is most effective to use only the first Word from the Scream, without the second and third. So you can do more damage due to the fact that the Scream will recover faster.
- The cry will become stronger if you learn the Enhanced Flame ability from the Destruction school.
Bugs
The following errors are associated with Screaming Fire Breath in Skyrim:
- When using the third word in Scream, the Cry of Clear Sky (Lok Vah Koor) can be heard.
- It is likely that when learning the first word at Parturnax, the second and third Word Wall will contain only the second. Because of this, it becomes completely impossible to learn Scream.
- In rare cases, when a player learns the first Word, then performs the quest "Companions", and then returns to the Throat of the World, the Wall immediately gives the second and third Word.
