Dragon screams (Voice or Tu "um) are Words of power in the dragon language, used to unleash a powerful magical effect. Dragons have always been able to Scream, this skill is inseparable from their nature, Screaming for a dragon is as natural as breathing and speech. Well concerns people... In ancient times, the goddess Kynareth gave them the ability to speak the language of dragons, but most take many years to learn the simplest Scream. Only the Dragonborn have the great gift of the Voice - the ability to direct life energy into Tu "mind, or Scream. The speech of dragons is in their blood; it comes to them without much effort. Your character is the Dragonborn - a warrior with the soul of a dragon in a mortal body, although no one knows this at first. The ability to use Shouts will become available upon completion of the Dragon Rising quest, after absorbing the soul of the first killed dragon.
To open a new Shout or improve an already known one, you should approach the Wall of Words and find out the Word of Power, then spend the absorbed dragon soul to unlock the word (R button), and if there is no available dragon soul, you will have to kill some dragon and absorb his soul. All Shouts consist of three Words, and each time you master a new Word, your Shout becomes more powerful: unlocking the first word from a Shout unlocks a weaker version of it, the second and third increases intensity, duration, etc.
In order to Shout, you need to press the Z button (by default). Simply pressing the Scream button will produce a weak version of it, holding it for a short time will result in a medium version, and holding it for a long time will cause a strong Scream. After Shouting, there will be some cooldown time before you'll be able to Shout again (watch the compass outlines turn from blue to white).
A total of 20 Shouts can be learned. As you progress through the main quest, you will learn 15 words from various Shouts (no dragon souls are required to unlock them). You will need 44 Dragon Souls to unlock all other available Words of Power. Some Words can only be learned in certain places during the main quest and completing quests for various factions (see tables below), but most are open to learning at any time (the order does not matter). To make searching for Word Walls easier, there are two ways to obtain information about their location:
1. It’s worth shouting more often in cities, settlements, camps and dungeons, after which wait for a messenger with a “Letter from a Friend” containing a hint about a place with the next Word Wall. Messengers will continue to bring such letters until all currently available Words of Power have been found. However, keep in mind that you will not receive a new “Letter from a Friend” until you complete the quest associated with the previous letter you received.
2. After completing the quest “The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller”, you can also ask Arngeir from the masters of the Way of the Voice, the Greybeards, if they have become aware of anything about places of power, and he will mark them on the map. Once you know all the currently available Words of Power, Arngeir will stop giving you tips.

On Nintendo Switch and PlayStation VR. It's time to return to the eternal debate - which screams are the best in the game. There are almost 30 shouts in Skyrim, so it's best to know which ones will help your character the most. This guide will walk you through the five best shouts in the game.
Aura Whisper
This scream will allow you to detect living creatures and undead nearby. The more words you know, the longer the detected creatures will be shown to you. The coverage area increases significantly outdoors.
Considering that you will know in which direction your enemies are moving, this shout is ideal for stealth enthusiasts and assassins who prefer to attack from stealth.
Become Ethereal
This shout will give your character an ethereal form that will protect him from both physical and magical attacks. Your stamina will not be depleted, you will be able to survive a fall from any height, you will not be able to drown and you will not fall into a trap.
Ethereality does not last long. In addition, if you start attacking, decide to open a chest, talk to someone, or pick up an item, this effect will instantly disappear. In other words, you cannot interact with anything if you want to remain in this form.
In addition to avoiding obstacles, you can use this shout to better position yourself in battle. For example, to reduce distance or evade powerful enemy attacks. In addition, the ethereal form will help you cast a particularly long spell.
Elemental Fury
This shout will increase the speed of your weapons, with the exception of bows, bare fists and enchanted weapons.
This is useful for two-handed and dual wielding weapons. Elemental Rage will turn you into a real killing machine. The shout effect lasts 15 seconds.
Marked for Death
While this scream won't instantly kill your enemies, it will significantly reduce their armor and deal damage for a full minute.
Death Sentence is best used early in battle to weaken the armor of most - if not all - of your enemies and deal extra damage to them while you pummel them mercilessly. Moreover, the effects are combined with each other, so you can easily deal with large groups of enemies or huge animals.
Unrelenting Force
This is a favorite shout for most players because Fus Ro Dah is synonymous with the Dragonborn. Ruthless Force allows your character to throw back everything in its path.
It's always fun to throw enemies off cliffs, bridges and other high places. This shout is perfect in battles with large groups of enemies.

Elemental Fury(orig. Elemental Fury) - dragon scream in the game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Description
Elemental Fury- This is a dragon cry that gives the character “wind speed”, thanks to which he delivers his attacks faster. The more shout words are learned, the faster the speed. With a fully learned scream, the attack speed of any weapon increases by 2 times.The shout effect lasts 15 seconds. Elemental Fury does not apply to enchanted weapons, even if the protagonist's weapon has only one enchantment applied to it and the "Additional Effect" ability has been learned. Also, the shout does not work with equipped summoned weapons and improved bows - there is an opportunity to shout, but there is no effect. But, unfortunately, this is the most bugged shout, so it is better to use it in extreme cases.
Usage
- When used together with a pickaxe, it will increase the speed of ore extraction.
- Two weapons and this shout are an effective solution to many problems with any enemy. At the first levels, Valdr's lucky dagger, which is considered unenchanted, is quite suitable for this purpose. Knowing the “Double Whirlwind” perk also wouldn’t hurt. Since the shout only applies to weapons in the right hand, however, affecting the speed of combat with weapons in both hands, it is effective to use some kind of paralyzing weapon with the left hand.
- In the LE version of the game with installed Unofficial Skyrim Patch The shout can also be applied to a weapon in the left hand.
- If you use daggers with the learned “Dash” and “Double Whirlwind” perks, then with the help of elemental rage you can move around Skyrim very quickly. “Dash”, which allows you to deal critical hits while sprinting, and the speed of daggers, together with a scream, allow you to move through crowds of enemies almost without stopping.
- This shout can be used to increase the speed of slow two-handed weapons while maintaining the damage dealt by that weapon.
- Using this shout, you can increase the speed of drawing the bow string (for maximum damage) to almost instantaneous.
Bugs
- A weapon in the right hand can be enchanted and the scream effect will work on two weapons.
- The strong wind sound effect produced while screaming can become incessant. Possible solutions:
- return to previous save;
- installing a patch (the patch removes the sound of howling wind after a scream);
- using the console command sexchange (helps only until the next boot);
- reuse of scream;
- use of staves;
- transformation into a werewolf or vampire lord.
- When two daggers are equipped, shouting may not affect attack speed.
- It is dangerous to use a scream on the edge of the cliffs - a secretive finishing blow to the enemy can lead to the hero himself falling from these very cliffs.
- Sometimes the wall next to the Meridia statue does not teach the word.
- Solution 1: Using fast travel, travel to Solitude. Then save and load the save you just created, and then return to the statue of Meridia by entering coc KilkreathRuinsExterior03 in the console.
- Solution 2: A more effective method of learning the word from the wall next to the statue is to restart Windows.
- Solution 3: It happens that none of these methods helps, so from now on it is recommended to study the word on your first visit to the temple of Meridia (if only because the word next to the temple is the most accessible, you don’t need to deal with anyone: just get there and study the word, located in the open air). If this error does occur, then you just need to wait. The bug is temporary, and after some time (perhaps one in-game month, or perhaps three), the cry on the wall will again become available for study.
- Sometimes the “wind speed” effect can remain on the weapon. Dovahkiin can learn this effect by removing it from a weapon on the Pentagram of Souls. Moreover, if you apply this enchantment to any weapon, the sound of wind and visual effects will appear, but nothing else will change. Regardless of the power of the enchantment, these effects will not disappear, even if the weapon is sheathed, completely de-equipped, or even thrown out of the inventory.
- There is a bug when the attack speed becomes 2 times less than the original speed.
- If you shout while using an unenchanted bow, and then switch to any other weapon (even an enchanted one), the result will be that the same temporary enchantment will temporarily appear on the weapon or pair, but invisible on the weapon in the character's inventory. This can be noticed even with the cry of only the first word; the mediocre increase in attacks becomes at least 2 times greater every second.

TES V: Skyrim – Dragon Shouts Guide
You get your first cry almost at the beginning of the story, having killed the dragon (the main quest, everyone who has played Skyrim for more than an hour and a half has encountered it). So far, this scream is weak and not pumped up, it won’t help you (and won’t make any difference at all), and to get the next screams you need to go to the greybeards. Each cry can consist of one, two or three words, respectively, each word is unique and has its own meaning, but for simplicity we will divide the screams into the first, second and third levels (seriously, is anyone here interested in the Dragon-Russian dictionary?)

Screams
Shouts are special phrases in the dragon language that contain powerful magic. Press Z to use your pre-selected Shout. The longer you hold down the key, the more Scream words you say and the more powerful the Scream itself. You can only mark one talent or one cry at a time.
The Draconic words that make up Shouts are learned by searching the Word Wall in the world. But just learning them is not enough; you must also put a dragon soul into it, and only then it will become available to you. You absorb the souls of dragons by killing them.
