Skyrim - Ancient Dragon Battle on Master Difficulty, Mage Character

[AjSmith1210]

At first I was gonna comment on his slight lack of information and the fact that he could of cast destruction spells for free, and the fact he asked for tips and whatnot, but then I realized this is 2 weeks after the release of the game. kudos to you man, good job definitely.

[TheDrShulz]

I've encountered elder dragons loads, but not ancient dragons...

I'm level 37

[SilverMiners]

By me i play on hard and i am master destruckion mage i meet 3 ancient dragons nr.1 was hard n2. easy nr 3. i used kamehamehameha on it took me 7 sec. to kill that noob

2EASY

[savantfou28]

dude ur lvl 62, what's your main build tho? i got all 3 crafting skills leveled full, and archery 80+ which deals 550 damage, you can one-shot an ancient dragon with marked for death, in master difficulty i mean

[AbigailxAgonist]

good fight, headed in the right direction. just get daedric armor soon and make those destruction spells cost 0 hahaha then your perfect.

[Dogdasy210]

I killed an elder dragon at level 15

[ShafterSx]

Oh man, your Fire Breath shout it compleated !

[XNetosBoxer4]

Deadric armor is beter bro when its compared with dragon on legendary it beats it

[blackops188]

Fuck you

[peterbradyiv1]

Level 39 in Skyrim and I have only encountered from Elder all the way to normal type dragons but no Ancient.

[DieUberlegene]

I'm a lvl. 80 now and I encounter Ancient Dragons the majority of the time. (Only very rarely do I see anything less.) I play on Master Difficulty too but I do have to admit that I got my fair share of getting my ass kicked by them for a little while.

[LegendSw0rd]

I remember when I killed the Ancient Dragon at level 17 in the Nakriin boss fight on adept :P Was pretty proud of myself ^^

[oXObsidianXo]

If you had used certain elixers to boost your enchanting you can get destruction spells cost 100% less= 0 magika for all spells including master. This is a fact as i got the master spells yesterday.

[silvershot335]

Try having it land- then duel wielding weapons and attack! It works so well!

[silvershot335]

Fight like a man! Don't run away everytime you shoot~

[nash3timemvp]

A ancient dragon battle with a Mage on master is basic if you have the stagger ability.

[DMSRECON]

I think meeting kinds of dragon depends on where you are in the story as well as level

[GodofQTipz]

I killed an elder dragon with arch mage robes savos arens amulet, orc boots of resist fire, and that marokeli mask and dual fire bolt, and dragon rend

[JoeyyyBoyyy]

Ancient dragons have fire and ice spells...

[yukim98]

@JoeyyyBoyyy they almost always use fire 85% of the time

[FPSJaganjac]

You are pretty slow at killing these... Once you get to the point where you can spam Expert level dual-casted Destruction spells to stagger enemies, you shouldn't have to even move to kill things. Sit there and blast away. It takes like 1 second to blast off a spell. You take too long with the charging, it's unnecessary.

[Snipsonamine]

I'm level 40 in skyrim and still have never encountered an Ancient Dragon.

[zowbaid89]

@Snipsonamine wow that's weird man, I encountered them really early on when I was 20 or something.

[commander7890]

@zowbaid89 They don't appear till level 30.

[zowbaid89]

@commander7890 Oh ok, my mistake. Thanks :)

[ttttttttttttttt515]

@commander7890 WTF, I'm literally level 53 and haven't even encountered an elder dragon yet.

[NINJA5589]

@commander7890 what? im level 33 and have only encountered frost and blood dragons

[23kcad]

@commander7890 wtf i am 45 and have not even seen a single ancient dragon

[KristinaTVfan]

@23kcad

The only time I have encountered them, at 47, is when I return to the word walls.

Marked for death really helps.

[Christian758100]

@commander7890 im level 40 and have only fought 2 elder dragons

[Christian758100]

@commander7890 also i have 19 souls

[speeddemon701]

@zowbaid89 Ive Never Actually Faced AncientsYet And Im Level 46 Ive Only Faced Normal Dragons,Blood,Frost,And Alot Of Elders And How You Said At The End You Have 6 Souls I Have 30

[germanwolf666]

@Snipsonamine i didnt see any till lvl 50

[HowardAndPoohBear]

@Snipsonamine its different fr everyon i didnt ge any til level 55

[SilverMiners]

@Snipsonamine Me 2 ut sudently they came like once an hour they mostly show up in the north of the map i fighted 2 at the collage of winterhold won both

[MultiBoomBoomMan]

Probably already know this, but there is no cap to souls, I've got around 30 =D

[eltipoedy66]

there's no limit of how much dragon souls you can carry. I saw a video were the girl had 10 souls.

[lendial]

God, i wish magic scaled with levels even if it was .5 damage per level.

[MetallicReg]

dont look on the souls number. I have 64 unused and have all shouts complete... and get some more after fights. Its sometimes a bug that you dont get one.

[Kataaraa]

sneak ftw! but nice vid

[FilthyFleaf]

@mkgteeeee Yes. His armor is from blacksmithing.

[mkgteeeee]

nice video!! i was hoping it to be more challenging but still it was an awesome fight :P and btw the armor that you got there its from blacksmithing? (im only 32 lvl)

[Durpasaur]

when i saw your shout list... i jizzed everywhere.

[antoniohrv]

why dosent your fireball explode PLEASE RESPOND !!

[zowbaid89]

@antoniohrv BecauseI'm not using fireball, I'm using Incinerate. 

[chauxcifer777]

where can u get incinerate?

[zowbaid89]

@chauxcifer777 You have to have your destruction level up to 75 or 80, I forget. Then you go to Faralda at the college of Winterhold and she will sell it. And then if you want to get Master level spells, you have to have your destruction up to 100, and then go talk to Faralda and you get the quest to unlock those new master level spells.

[evilnordking]

@zowbaid89

I'm have master conjuration and I was just wondering are there any master destruction spells where he does that weird thing where he flails his arms around before he casts it?

[Brawl4fun100]

@evilnordking There are Master level spells for each Magic school.

[evilnordking]

@Brawl4fun100

I know I was asking about the thing where in conjuration he like moves his arms around before he casts master spells.

[Brawl4fun100]

@evilnordking Yes, all Master level spells do that little animation.

[evilnordking]

@Brawl4fun100

AHHHHHHHHHH!!But it takes SOOOOO long!!!!

[vibrantforlife]

and sorry you can acually have as many souls as you want but that dragon is just like alduin you dont get a soul from Ancient Dragon's

[1anton12]

i got 30 souls yesterday i found out you must use it on shouts and now i found out you can upgrade your shouts with it..

[1anton12]

what the hell why does it say dragon armor = light armor is that true? and how can it be legendary i tought it was only on axes..

[Rancor856]

@1anton12 there are 2 dragon armor types dragonplate is heavy armor dragonscale is light armor and you can make most weapons and armor into legendary or flaweless dont know what the difference is though

[Druss5991]

@zowbaid89

What does the dragonrend shout do? I'm new to the game :P

[zowbaid89]

@Druss5991 It forces the dragon to land and prevents them from moving too much

[cumboyz]

god damn ancient dragons

they so annoying on master

i didn't get that dragon rend shout yet so i keep on chasing it down

and they kill me in one shot

[youamebas]

I miss quicksave. Amazing game. Ps3 RUINED it for me....

[svarten009]

@zowbaid89 Someone probably told you this already, or you might know by now, but if not, the not getting dragon soul-thing is just a glitch :)

[darkseer100]

u play battle mage?? what lvl is your destruction?

[zowbaid89]

@darkseer100 its at 100

[doujinftw2]

get ur armor to -100 destruction cost use lightning storm and keep it up dragon will never able to use breath attack at all

[MrFisken123]

dude u got 141k how u made that much??

[zowbaid89]

@MrFisken123 You gotta sell lots of junk man. Things like enchanted gear and jewelry. But again I put about 150 hours into this guy and I have over 200,000, so you just gotta keep selling. Also take a look at my beginners guide to money making, Talks about it some more.

[sega369]

dude im lvl 32 right now and i destroy the dragons im playing adept should i bring it up

[zowbaid89]

@sega369

ya if you don't like the game being too easy, then go up to expert man :)

[5lololol]

@zowbaid89 I'm level 56 and I've always been on master... I kill dragons easily, exept ancient... the pwn me :L

[Pasteldqueijo]

my mage doesnt wear any armor, only a fancy hat

[OCthe1011]

Zowbaid. Im still new to this game. Im 21 and i love sneaking, I allways went dual wielding and i now think its kind of to late to start using shield and put point into that xD. So do u got any tips for a non magic-dual wielder guy to slay a dragon? Its uber hard for me since if i attack him for more then 3 sec he will bite and killl me, or breath at me ;P-

[zowbaid89]

@OCthe1011 Well there's a couple of things you can do. First of all you are level 21 and its definitely not too late for you to be investing in shields if thats what you want. Second of all, you should get some destruction spells, you don't have to be a mage to use the basic ones like Flames or Firebolt. Next, you wanna get a good armor set like heavy armors. Finally, if all this doesn't work you can always lower the difficulty setting to easiest.

[darkseer100]

@OCthe1011 if you play with dual and destruction(flames) you should not have problems with dragons...

[Muffinfist]

Again, sick vid. I noticed you have all three words for elemental fury. I can't seem to find the last one anywhere. Do you remember where you got it? I read on the internet that it's in Kilkreath ruins, but I went through that dungeon many times and still found nothing. Anyway, thanks in advance.

[zowbaid89]

@Muffinfist

I'll make a video on that to show you where to get it. I don't remember either, but I'll make a run through that dungeon for you.

[TheXxzealotxX]

@zowbaid89 Wow you must be very good on adept, I took an ancient dragon on adept and it was very hard. I don't think I would stand a chance on expert difficulty.

[zowbaid89]

@Muffinfist

The three dungeons where you get elemental fury shouts from are Shriekwind Bastion, Statue to Meridia, and Dragontooth Crater. I'll make a video to show you where they are.

[zowbaid89]

@Muffinfist

Check my page, I uploaded a new video showing you where the elemental fury shouts are.

[redoubt9000]

hah :D These fights are always a bummer :( I find myself ducking behind cover wishing the dragon would reach around or SOMETHING. Maybe if they had added some sorta dodging element in the combat system as well as destructible cover, these dragon fights would be more epic :P

[zowbaid89]

@redoubt9000

Lol, agreed. I do wish there was an acrobatic tree like in Oblivion
