Northwind Summit is a dragon lair located northwest of Shor's Stone and southwest of Cragslane Cavern in The Rift. It can be reached by going through Northwind Mine or by going northwest of Shor's Stone and climbing to the peak of the nearby mountain.
Strategy
As the dragon perched upon the word wall may be asleep, it is possible to kill it instantly with a dagger sneak attack to its exposed tail, provided the Dragonborn has the appropriate gear and perks.
Another strategy is to simply use the second building (to the right of the word wall) as cover to conjure an atronach while repeatedly using a bow. The rocks across from the first building can be used as cover with the same tactic.
Another possibility is to fight the dragon using Firebolt or Ice Spike, while dualcasting, because with the perk Impact, it may stagger the dragon. This way, it is easy to defeat any dragon or dragon priest, as long as the spells are timed correctly.
Notable items
- Word wall – Aura Whisper
- Potential spawn location for Meridia's Beacon.
Mining
- An orichalcum ore vein over the hill behind the word wall.
- A moonstone ore vein to the left of the word wall from the mine.
Quests
Facilities
- Smelter – to the right (west) of the word wall, between the first and second buildings.
Trivia
- If "Dragon Rising" has not been completed, the word wall will instead be guarded by skeletons.
