You can find the words for the Aura Whisper shout in two distinct locations across Skyrim: within the ancient Nordic ruin of Volunruud and atop Northwind Summit.
The Aura Whisper shout is a powerful detection tool, allowing you to sense living creatures, automatons, and undead through walls and obstacles. It is a valuable asset for stealth characters or for planning your approach in challenging dungeons.
Locations of Aura Whisper Words of Power
To fully unlock the Aura Whisper shout, you will need to learn all three words of power. Each word is found at a unique location:
- Word 1: Laas
- Word 2: Yah
- Word 3: Nir
Here are the specific places where you can discover them:
1. Volunruud
- Location: Volunruud is an ancient Nordic ruin situated in The Reach, a rugged hold in the western part of Skyrim.
- Discovery: You will find one of the words of power for Aura Whisper deep inside Volunruud. This dungeon is typically encountered during the Silenced Tongues quest, which involves investigating the tomb of a powerful Dragon Priest.
- Challenge: Be prepared for a significant challenge, as you will face a Dragon Priest within this ruin, along with other Draugr enemies. Defeating the Dragon Priest is often necessary to fully explore the area and reach the Word Wall.
2. Northwind Summit
- Location: Northwind Summit is a mountain peak found in the southern part of Eastmarch, the volcanic region of Skyrim. It's located southeast of Windhelm and northeast of Shor's Stone.
- Discovery: The second word of power for Aura Whisper is located at this mountaintop. This particular location is a Dragon's lair, meaning you should expect to encounter a dragon when you approach the summit.
- Challenge: Dragons are formidable foes, so ensure you are well-equipped and ready for a tough fight before ascending to the summit. After defeating the dragon, you can claim the word from the nearby Word Wall.
By visiting both Volunruud and Northwind Summit, you will be able to learn all the words necessary to wield the full power of the Aura Whisper shout.
