How to obtain all Dragon Shouts

A guide that will teach you how to acquire all dragon shouts, including the Dragonborn and Dawnguard DLC's shouts.

Introduction

The Dragon Shouts, also known simply as Shouts or Thu'um in the Dragon language, are an ancient form of magic prominently used in Skyrim during the late Merethic and early First Era, but have gradually become obscure. Shouts use the vocalization of specific words of power to create powerful magical effects. Each shout is made up of three words, although Shouts could be composed of two or even a single word and still function.

Unrelenting Force

The first and second words of Unrelenting Force will stagger enemies caught in its wake for a short amount of time. When the third word is used, the target is thrown backward and temporarily ragdolled.
