The World-Eater's Eyrie — The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Walkthrough

Complete The World-Eater's Eyrie in Skyrim. Navigate Skuldafn Temple, defeat the Dragon Priest Nahkriin, and enter Sovngarde to face Alduin.

Odahviing, now your reluctant ally, agrees to fly you to Skuldafn, Alduin's portal to Sovngarde. This quest is a one-way trip to a dangerous Nordic ruin filled with Draugr, Dragon Priests, and dragons. Be fully prepared before embarking on this journey, as you cannot return until the main quest is complete.

Objectives:

  1. Speak with Odahviing.
  2. Travel to Skuldafn.
  3. Navigate Skuldafn Temple.
  4. Defeat the Dragon Priest, Nahkriin.
  5. Enter Sovngarde.

Strategy:

Speak with Odahviing in Dragonsreach. He will fly you to Skuldafn. Once there, you'll need to fight your way through a heavily guarded Nordic ruin. Expect numerous Draugr, including Deathlords and Overlords, and several dragons. There are also a few puzzles involving rotating pillars and pressure plates. The final challenge is the Dragon Priest, Nahkriin, who guards the portal to Sovngarde. Nahkriin is a powerful mage; use ranged attacks, resist his magic, and interrupt his spells. Defeat him to claim his staff, which is needed to activate the portal. Enter the portal to Sovngarde.
