This page ofThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimguide includesthe most important information regarding Shouts.
You will learn about how the rules of unlocking shouts and in what cases they are used.
We also compiled alist of all the shoutsand alist of power words locations.
The most important shouts are being taught to you while completing main quests (mostly by the Greybeards).
Understanding the meaning of the Words of Power is done by spending dragon souls.
My favorite dragon shout is definitely Unrelenting Force (screen above), mostly because it’s extremely versatile.
This allows the main character to shout one, two or all three Words of power.
I would recommend always using the strongest version of the shout for maximum effects.
Shout effects: Getting rid of the fog and bad weather.
You won’t have a lot of occasions to use it during normal journeys except for neutralizing gas traps.
Holding the Z key improves the duration of this shout.
Shout effects: Turning the main character into an ethereal being.
This means he can’t be injured, however he also can’t injure anyone else.
Comments: You’ll find this shout helpful while avoiding traps found in most of the dungeons.
Holding the Z key improves the duration of this shout.
Shout effects: Performing faster attacks.
Holding the Z key increases the speed of the attacks even further.
Shout effects: Freezing the opponents.
As a result this shout should be used mostly to immobilize stronger opponents rather than to injure them.
Holding the Z key improves the duration of this shout (up to 60 seconds).
Shout effects: Inflicting frost damage.
It’s worth mentioning that affected targets not only receive frost damage, because they’re also slowed down.
Shout effects: Pushing or throwing away people and objects.
Holding the Z key increases the effectiveness of the shout.
Shout effects: Inflicting fire damage.
Holding the Z key increases the amount of damage being dealt (up to 90 points).
I recommend that you consider Animal Allegiance shout if you want something similar, because it’s much better.
Shout effects: Disarming an opponent.
Using this shout can significantly lower the difficulty of battles with enemy warriors.
Shout effects: Lowering the opponent’s health and armor rating.
Comments: This shout is useful only when you’re going against very powerful enemies that are using armors.
Shout effects: Forcing an affected dragon to land.
Holding the Z key forces the dragon to land for a longer period of time.
Shout effects: Slowing down time.
Shout effects: Revealing the life force of all beings present in the area.
If this is the case then you should know that you could achieve similar results by casting spells.
Holding the Z key improves the duration of this shout (up to 30 seconds).
Shout effects: Moving in a straight line with an enormous speed.
Shout effects: Calling in a thunderstorm which attacks everyone in the area inflicting shock damage.
Holding the Z key improves the duration of this shout (up to 180 seconds).
Shout effects: Calling the dragon Odaahving to assist the main character in battles.
You should consider calling Odaahving for help from time to time.
Shout effects: Calling Sovngard heroes for help to assist the main character in battles.
Short press calls for Gormlaith, medium press calls for Felldir and long press calls for Hakon.
Shout effects: Forcing enemies to flee.
Holding the Z key increases the effectiveness of this shout and this means you might affect high level enemies.
Shout effects: Calling wild animals for help so that they start fighting alongside the main character.
Holding the Z key increases the range of the shout and its duration (up to 60 seconds).
