At higher levels, he may be a dragon priest.Įncountered at the end of the dungeon in Ansilvund.Įncountered in the Temple of Miraak after learning a word of the Dragon Aspect dragon shout. Attacking them during this time can quickly eliminate them before they can strike. Wards (including the ward effect that the unique shield Spellbreaker provides when blocking) will render any shout harmless, from draugr or other sources.ĭraugr are unable to attack and have no defenses while the animation plays as they emerge from their tomb. When engaging with high level draugr that use the Unrelenting Force and Disarm shouts, you may wish to save frequently in case a treasured weapon is thrown and you cannot find it again. Dart traps are not helpful in this regard, as most draugr are immune to poison. You can lure draugr into many of the traps common in Nordic ruins, which can be very effective. Dragon priests, who guard some Nordic ruins, are extremely dangerous opponents, but can often be defeated from a distance by using the Invisibility and Muffle effects to evade detection. Remaining undetected, even by sleeping draugr, can be challenging, as they are quite sensitive, and this increases with stronger versions. Even if you fail to kill it immediately, you should have time for one or two more hits while it climbs out of its resting place. You can often perform a sneak attack on a draugr sleeping in its alcove and kill it before it is able to attack. Flaming Familiars, Flame Atronachs and Storm Atronachs will be particularly potent. If you are a mage, avoid the use of frost spells, but concentrate on the two remaining elements: flames to constantly inflict damage, and shock to drain the enemy's magicka pool. Stronger draugr can be very dangerous to most players, and should be attacked from a distance when possible. Archers can deal a lot of damage during a battle, but they often shoot from a distance, sometimes making it easy to hide or take cover from them while dealing with nearer enemies. Combat Strategies Įliminate weaker types before fighting the stronger ones. You will often encounter draugr enthralled by necromancers or hostile mages, such as those found in the Nordic ruin of Ansilvund where the draugr are forced to mine.įor information about dead, static draugr which can be looted, see this page. The more powerful draugr that appear at higher levels often use ebony weapons and equipment, and may have the ability to use one or more Dragon Shouts in combat, including Unrelenting Force, Disarm, and sometimes even Frost Breath. Draugr that begin appearing early in the game are equipped with ancient Nordic weapons, which are similar in strength to steel weaponry, and ancient Nord armor, similar in quality to iron armor, which is unlootable. In addition, draugr may be spellcasters, archers, one-handed melee fighters, or two-handed melee fighters this is unspecified by their names, which only indicate their class. However, this also depends on the location at which they're encountered. The specific variety of draugr that you meet is generally level-dependent. However, the Hallowed Dead found in Labyrinthian are not immune to poison and are 33% weaker to magic. Most draugr are immune to poison and have a 50% resistance to frost. The Draugr Deathlords and Death Overlords will almost always carry ebony equipment and are most recognizable by their unobtainable versions of the ancient Nord helmets. Higher rank draugr are clearly recognizable by their increasingly more impressive helmets and equipment. Male and female draugr appear at similar rates, but at higher levels, males far outnumber females. Their soft tissues are severely decomposed, and their armor does little to conceal the fact that much of their flesh is rotting away, exposing the underlying skeletal structure.
Appearance and Types ĭespite the advanced embalming techniques of the ancient Nords, time has taken its toll on draugr's physical appearance. They often rest in catacombs or sarcophagi to awaken and fight when disturbed or alerted. Some draugr instead guard nobility and treasures buried in barrows and tombs. When these priests died, their followers were killed, reanimated, and then sealed into the tomb where they would periodically awaken in order to worship the priests and transfer energy to them to maintain their undead state. Most draugr were followers of dragon priests in ancient times. Draugr are ancient Nordic warriors who have been reanimated.
