Skyrim: Find and use dragon bones - how it works

To fully equip your character at Skyrim, you need the rare dragon bones. You can use them to make various weapons or armor. We'll show you where to find the material and how to use it.

Find dragon bones in Skyrim

• You can find dragon bones in the inventory of dead dragons. You can also find dragon scales there, which you also need for the manufacture of weapons and equipment.
• In the course of the main story you will encounter several dragons that you can kill. In addition, these also appear throughout Skyrim.
• Where the dragons spawn is unfortunately randomly generated. Therefore, you can only comb Skyrim with your horse and pay attention to the dragon screams.
• If you have killed a dragon, you should use the fast travel function to speed up the spawn of a new dragon.

Make weapons and armor from the bones

• In order to make both weapons and armor parts, you need to level your blacksmithing skill to 100.
• You also need the "Dragon Armor" perk.
• In addition to the bones, you also need the dragon scales depending on the armor.
• Since you need a lot of dragon parts for a complete set, we advise you to collect them in a chest from the start.
