The Prelude to Conquest
Before embarking on the quest to trap Odahviing, aspiring Dragonborn must first secure the support of the influential Jarl of Whiterun. This crucial alliance can be achieved after completing the Season Unending quest or by advancing through the Civil War questline if certain choices have been made.
Upon gaining the Jarl's favor, you will uncover the significance of the dragon's names as Words of Power, essential for summoning them. Mastering the Call Dragon shout is vital to becoming the bait for Odahviing's capture.
Navigating the Trap
With the groundwork laid, the time has come to execute the daring plan. Journey to Whiterun and engage in a strategic discussion with Jarl Balgruuf the Greater at Dragonsreach. Here, the final preparations will be made before setting the trap for Odahviing.
The trap is set in a grand hall atop the fortress, where a clever contraption awaits the dragon's arrival. As you stand on the balcony and invoke the Call Dragon shout, the stage is set for the thrilling encounter.
The Dance of Dragons
As Odahviing descends towards you, the Dragonrend shout becomes your weapon to bring the majestic beast to the ground. Lead the dragon into the heart of the hall, luring it towards the trap's activation point.
Swiftly making your way to the upper tier of the room, trigger the mechanism that ensnares Odahviing, rendering it powerless and compliant. In exchange for its release, Odahviing pledges to guide you to Skuldafn, marking the beginning of a legendary alliance.
A Loyal Companion
By vanquishing Alduin with Odahviing's assistance, you solidify your bond with the dragon. As a loyal ally, Odahviing stands by your side, ready to be summoned at your command. The journey to capture Odahviing is not just a quest; it's a testament to your prowess in the world of Skyrim.
