Alduin's Bane

After retrieving the Elder Scroll, the Dragonborn will need to go to the Time Wound at the summit of the Throat of the World and learn the Dragonrend shout from those who created it, so that it may be used to finally defeat Alduin once and for all.

Walkthrough
By completing the quest "Elder Knowledge," the Dragonborn collected an Elder Scroll. The Dragonborn will need to return to Paarthurnax atop the Throat of the World and read the scroll at the Time Wound. When the Elder Scroll is read, a cinematic scene will begin. The Dragonborn will see an image of three Nordic heroes. The Dragonborn will then learn all three words of the Dragonrend shout, which will be used to defeat Alduin. Once the Dragonborn comes out of the vision, Alduin will attack them and Paarthurnax. Dragonrend is used on Alduin to make him land on the ground, where the Dragonborn can then begin to damage him. After Alduin is defeated, he will fly off and escape.

Scenarios

 * Depending on difficulty, Alduin has roughly 25-100% resistance to both frost and fire magic and only physical and shock damage will harm him.
 * Like all dragons, Alduin's breath attack relies on his magicka pool. A barrage of shock spells can potentially deplete his reserves to a point where he is only able to do physical attacks.
 * During the fight between the Nord Heroes and Alduin, Alduin might get pushed toward the word wall when he steps over the corpse of the dead dragon nearby. This causes Alduin to be stuck facing the wall and trying to turn around. However Alduin will still be banished as usual.
 * Alduin can be prevented from shouting the meteor storm by using Dragonrend as soon as he is seen and then conjuring a storm atronach.

Trivia

 * The cinematic part in this quest when the Elder Scroll is read at the Throat of the World is the only visual representation of the Dragon War, besides the books that can be read in the game.
