How to Tame Miraak’s Dragon in Skyrim

Taming Miraak’s dragon, Sahrotaar, is a crucial part of the Dragonborn DLC in Skyrim. In this article, we will guide you on how to tame this mighty beast and ride it through the skies of Skyrim.

Prerequisites

Before you can tame Sahrotaar, you must have completed the Dragonborn Main Questline and obtained the Bend Will shout. This shout is necessary to tame the dragon, as it allows you to control its actions and make it your ally.

Finding Sahrotaar

Sahrotaar can be found in the Apocrypha, a realm that exists outside of the mortal world. To reach Apocrypha, you must first find the Concentrated Hist. This ancient artifact is located in the ruins of an ancient Nord city, where you will find a large stone door with intricate carvings. Solve the puzzle to unlock the door and retrieve the Concentrated Hist.

Once you have the Concentrated Hist, fast travel to the nearest Dragon Lair and speak to the Dragon Priestess, Miraak. She will guide you through the process of reaching Apocrypha and confronting Sahrotaar.

Taming Sahrotaar

To tame Sahrotaar, you must use the Bend Will shout on the dragon. The shout can be learned by completing the Dragonborn Main Questline and obtaining the shout from the Dragonborn. Once you have the shout, approach Sahrotaar and use the shout to make it become your ally.

Bend Will Shout Mechanics

The Bend Will shout has several mechanics that you should be aware of:

• Holding the shout key: To use the Bend Will shout, you must hold down the shout key (default: Z) until you hear all three words of the shout. The words will be displayed on the screen, and you must hold the key down until the words are finished.
