If you also use a shout on a location (usually inside a dungeon), you may get (too frequently, in my case) a "Letter from a Friend", also providing a word wall location and sending you on a quest to learn the dragon shout on that wall. Note that some dragon shouts are only learned from a certain quest - most of them from the main quest line. If you're looking to have all dragon shouts, Arngeir will provide you word wall locations, sending you on a quest to learn the dragon shout on that wall.

Also, there are many word walls like the one found near here (link) that may not be part of a major quest at all, and you may miss it if you haven't been exploring. Critical Essays on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Mike Piero, Marc A. Note however, that not all major quests will have you encounter a word wall, even the main quest. They also seem to be conveniently placed near the end of the dungeon, near the boss. They're big and for some weird reason, you hear chants when your are near one. I've slain quite a few dragons in Riverwood to the point where most of them don't have souls anymore (only Riverwood dragons, of course).Word walls are very hard to miss in major quest chains, especially those in dungeons.

Most of the word walls are located in Dragon Lairs and Nordic Ruins. The one you killed earlier respawns while a new one wanders into your area. Some dragons are killed at different times when the others wander off, and this gives me evidence why it's possible to fight more than one at a time. More often than not, I believe it will respawn near the area you killed it, and if you don't revisit that area in X amount of game hours, it wanders off to the next area. The problem is, it respawns in a random area on the map, and although you may have encountered the dragon in, say, Riften, your next encounter with that same dragon may be west of Riften near the Throat of the World.

After this one I've killed another blood dragon on another word wall location and "sucked" it's soul without problems.ĮDIT: Checked… No I haven't been to Northwind Summit yet. Now… Prior to that fight I've got to level 40 and the dragon there is blood dragon so… It's maybe level related you'll say… No it's not. I've repeated the fight 3 times and nothing helps. I haven't got that glitch (dunno if I visited that location yet, I'll check that later and post) but I did get another bug, dunno if it helps.Īt Bonestrewn Crest location with the word wall, my hero killed the dragon but can't take the dragon soul.
