During your adventure in Skyrim, you will meet some pretty tough opponents. And of course, one of the strongest is Alduin. Therefore, next, we will tell you how to beat Alduin at the Throat of the World and Sovngarde in Skyrim.
The Dragonborn will encounter Alduin, also known as the World Eater, several times. But to defeat him, you have to fight twice and use everything you have. But to be fair, it is worth noting that even though he is the final boss, he is weaker than the Legendary Dragons.

How to Beat Alduin at the Throat of the World in Skyrim
So, your first opportunity to beat Alduin in Skyrim will come during the Alduin's Bane quest. After you finally get your hands on the Elder Scroll, you can learn the new Shout, without which it is impossible to defeat the final Boss of the game. To do this, go to The Throat Of The World and start the cutscene of the battle between Alduin and the Heroes.
After this, your battle will finally begin. It's important to note that while Alduin is flying in the sky, he takes no damage at all. Therefore, Dragonborn needs to use the newly learned Dragonrend Shout. Since it consists of three Words, you need to hold the Shout button.
This way, you can force the Dragon to come down to the ground and receive the damage from you. Depending on how high your level is, the battle can be very difficult. For example, if you were leveling up and not following main quests, Alduin’s level can reach the maximum level of 100. And then his attacks are very painful. If you fight him at levels 30-50, then just use the same strategy as against other dragons. As for Alduin's attacks, he has four of them:
- Fire Breath - The dragon breathes fire at you, causing huge damage and inflicting lingering damage
- Frost Breath - The dragon breathes frost on you, causing huge damage and reducing stamina.
- Bite - Alduin rushes forward to take a bite out of you.
- Meteor Storm - Alduin summons meteors that rain from the sky and cause massive fire damage.
We recommend that you take with you a companion who will trigger all the Boss's attacks. At the same time, you will be able to deal damage and avoid attacks more easily. One of the most dangerous attacks of the Dragon is a Meteor Storm.
Therefore, you should use Dragonrend Shout regularly, even when Alduin is on the ground so that he cannot use this ability. Also, you will need an Amulet of Talos which will reduce the cooldown of your Shouts.

How to Beat Alduin at Sovngarde in Skyrim
After you defeat Alduin, he will flee to Sovngarde. You will have to go after him, but remember that this is the point of no return. Therefore, prepare all the potions and equipment that you will need. We especially recommend taking with you more Fire resistance and Stamina restoration potions.
Then, upon arriving in Sovngarde, you need to use Clear Skies Shout several times to start the battle. Alduin will fight more aggressively, but his attacks will remain the same. Therefore, use the same strategy as in the first battle with him, and you will be able to defeat him, but of course, it will not be easy.
That's all you need to know about how to beat Alduin in Skyrim. This is definitely a difficult boss, but once you get used to his attacks, you will be able to defeat him, as befits the Dragonborn.
