i have discovered an exploit where he is temporarily essential, and will recover if killed! :DD after you travel to sovngarde and kill alduin, the tall guy will teleport you to the throat of the world where paarthurnax and tons of other dragons are qaiting to do a scripted cerimony for you. during this after talking to paarthurnax, he will fly off and circle around the mountain for a moment before landing again with his normal diologue. this event makes him set as essential and he remains so for a few moments after the cerimony is over and the other dragons leave. during this moment between him landing, and ohdahviig landing, you can attack paarthurnax without him becoming hostiole. for some reason during this time he also has very low health for a dragon, making him "die" in five or six hits from a legendary imperial sword (which is what i was using). you can kill him now to complete the quest, and he will recover and still be passive. allowing you to have peace with both the blades AND the graybeards, as he is still alive. :DD somebody please test and confirm this exploit so it can be officially added into its own section on the quest wiki page. :3
