Skyrim: How to Keep the Dragon Priest Staff
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- During The World-Eater's Eyrie in Skuldafn, on your way to Sovngarde and your fight with Alduin, you fight the dragon priest Nahkriin on top of the Skuldafn Temple. Normally when fighting him the portal to Sovngarde closes and the Dragon Priest Staff that he drops is used to re-open the portal so that you cannot keep it. Although, it is possible to jump into the portal before it closes in order to keep the staff. This video demonstrates how to do that.

To anyone watching this who is having trouble, the whirlwind sprint shout really helps. I couldn't manage to do it until i used the shout
Clear Skies is even more helpful, as it staggers him and the shout has 5 sec cooldown.
@@fair7531 that actually really helped
I know this is old
This is 4 yrs old but still insanely helpful
tiid (time slow shout and a 100 damage shout will also ensure this so long as you loot and then jump. took 3 saves to perfect
Bruh so helpful. Did it first try with this tip
12 years later and this is still a worthwile video.
I was able to get the dragon priest staff at a relatively low level using the dual casting impact perk, so every time I hit Nakriin he staggers back a few feet. It took me a few magica potions, but if you’re worried about not hitting high enough to drain him before he reaches the staff, it can be done.
Still works in 2021 , definitely recommend the whirlwind sprint shout if your having difficulty getting into the portal after you kill the dragon priest
Now i want star all again and get that staff god dammit
Hevnoraak's Staff is the same as this staff, you can get it at Valthume
Aaa ok thanks :D
Master of the Night do you get it from a dlc or in the main game no dlc
Brian Nizshnik base game
Yes good news it’s not that awesome more of a collectible, the other looks the same but golden.
First time through I did not know this was an option either and only found out by accident by watching a video about hard to get weapons. Hey did you know there’s a unique pickaxe at the very top of the throat of the world? It’s called the notched pickaxe and boosts smithing skills as well as having an additional 6 points of stamina damage. Fairly worthless as defense but still think it’s cool that developers decided to place it up there for those who decided to climb that last peak just for the heck of it and the views.
Took me 3 tries to get the timing right. The first time the portal closed pretty much as soon as he touched it but got it in the end. Thanks for the how to. This staff is insane if you use paralyze in your off hand, which can knock down practically anything that walks, while they're laying there cast a nice cozy bed of lightning for them to sleep on :)
Thanks, hard to find a good video such as this. Simple, tells you all you need to do, and direct to the point without unnecessary rambling
I'm on ps4 remastered and just did this method. it still works!!!
Donnie Gibbs thank you, was getting worried! :)
Patched for me.
kylefer its not pached u just need to be really fast i suggest slow time shout
Deedric?
Day-drik.
AGREE'D
Yes correct
@@philogrobilized so are you and so am i
I say da eeedric
Gay-Rick
This is fantastic. I seriously started the game over just so I could do what you did. Thanks. Subscribed.
I just wanna say this still works 10 years later thank you
If you want to do this at a lower level I recommend getting infront of the priest and blocking him from reaching the staff. That way, you can get him down to one-hit without having to do a ton of damage in small amount of time.
Did this and worked. Thanks bro
Thank you so much for this! Just before I jumped into the portal, I paused and thought about keeping the staff but could not remove it. So awesome :)
This is 100% the best guide ive used this as a reference multiple multiple times, you're a king. Id like to add you dont actually need certain things you say in this vid ofc, like you said so long as you get him 1 hit away ur gucci, but yeah you NEED to save scum for this and when rocking a permanent save there is 0 shame in doing this. Thank you very much for this footage homie.
Just beat the game on switch and just remembered there should be a secret chest with the link armor so ima have to cop that real quick
Thank you! This still works in 2024 and I wanted it for my dragon priest build!
Very helpful even all these years later, thanks!
That's a cool trick, man. Not bad. I may try that out. Thanks, man. I had been meaning to try that out about the STAFF, but never successfully got to do so - YET. COOL !!!
should still work, you might be getting too close and activating the fight before you're ready. i don't think it'll start till you get to those stairs.
I'm a hoarder, and when I get bored I sell stuff for hours.
If I can get this far and hopefully the glitch actually work for me, then that would be real cool.
bruh all the brotherhood sanctuaries and all my hearthfire homes and owned chest aswell and skyhaven temple is filled to the brim with jewels gold grand soul gems black soul gems flawless gem- *two hours later* and barenzias crown
Still works but you have to be nearly frame perfect.
Slowtime shout
after seeing ur video it took me 9 tries b4 finallly working! THANKS! i use fus doh rah, with conjured blades i attack from behind then when dp gets the staff, i bring out dragonbane and slay him, search him b4 he falls off stairs/ritual platform i seize what i want and jump thru fading portal
I got it, thanks man. I had to reload my save point 5 times, but eventually I was fast enough.
The staff is completely unobtainable, I have tried to take it and get to the portal countless times. If you want a staff like this, Get henevoraak's (correct my spelling if that's wrong).
The only special part of this staff is it's gray colour. Appart from that, it is no different from other Shock-Wall staffs and the Shock-Wall spell.
helpful tip, whirlwind sprint up to him after shooting one fireball, get infront and slash him until one health, let him go and pick it up once your dragon shout is regenerated, shout slow time right after you kill him as soon as he picks it up, loot his body and run to the portal.
I just did this on Skryim: Special Edition on Xbox One and it still works!
Thank you kind sir for putting this video on TH-cam!!
Worded for me! Even with terrible joy-con drift(I am playing on my Switch), I managed to run up the stairs, whirlwind sprint to him, wail on him with my mace, and loot his corpse before the portal closed! This thing is going directly onto my wall.
WOO it worked. Thank you. When I saw that I was like I want the silver staff, my gold one looks ugly XD.
Nevermind. Followed exactly what you did and worked like a charm. Cheers :)
Also wanted to add that the slow time shout can help if your struggling. I used it right as he grabbed it then killed him and took the staff
Works in 2023, Xbox One, Skyrim SE. thanks!
This video does help a bit, but for some reason the portal closes way too quickly so decided to just go into Sovngarde without the staff.
Thanks so much man, this worked way better for me considering i'm only level 16.
alright so this video is a little confusing but I found my own way how, 1. quicksave at the very bottom of the stairs (before you see the portal) 2. equip slow time 3. run for him and get his health low before he picks up the staff BUT DO NOT KILL HIM 4. when he picks up the staff use slow time to kill him, loot him and run into the portal... and there ya go
Underrated comment
patched now. it just closes when u try to jump in without placing down the staff.
Still works on PS4, thanks dude.
Sweet thanks!! Another piece to my collection :)
7796B get Hevnoroak's Staff does the same damage and the shock wall
Aaaah. I kept killing him before he took his staff. Then wondered why i couldnt take it.....cool thanks man!
Hopefully I can try getting the items THAT way. Pretty clever. 👍👍
This took me a couple of tries but I managed to get both the mask and the unique staff
I swear I got this off a different dragon priest on another playthrough because I I finished the main story and still had that stuff
YES it finally worked! I tired forever and finally got it! I just ran right in front of him shouted fire breathe to push him back and then sliced him until he was one hit and waited to get it!
Took me a few go's but thanks for showing me how :)
just did it on ps4 SE, used fireball, mace & whirlwind to run in portal!
idsk how to gte back to the temple sooo
K0_DU I know I'm so late with this but you can't unfortunately!
Nahkriin staff spell called wall of storm an and is two more spell like that wall of fire and frost
Thanks dude got it first try
i didn't have to watch video even for you to help-read description-thanks!
I had to reload a couple of times but it finally worked
I don't know I'd have to see what is happening to know what's going wrong. You are definitely jumping before it closes? it sounds like you're jumping late so the portal closes and you don't go through. just keep trying, also make sure he picks the staff up, if you kill him before he picks it up the portal won't work.
Nice tut i have that sword and switching between it and the staff is gonna be an instant kill :)
I just ran at him and did a power attack with my legendary dwarven warhammer. That got him super low. I was able to grab the staff on my third attempt!
the staff isnt worth cuz of the effect, its worth it cuz its rare as fuck.
now i must play skyrim again
Thanks for the information how to get the staff
damn... am I stupid!?... WHY THE FUCK HAVEN´T I THOUGHT OF THAT !?
this helped out a lot thanks
Anyone here in 2021?? Had to remember how to get this gem 😅
I just saw a video where a guy climbed up in the mountain where that temple is after he had finished the main quest !!!!!! :D
The dungeon is called skudalfn
They changed it now. The portal stops working as soon as the staff is removed. I killed Nahkriin even slightly before he took it, looted the staff, then jumped in total of 3 seconds and missed it.
Not true, this still works even today (may 2019) on Skyim: Special Edition
@@Sectimus doesnt work, ive tried countless times
Me? Dont worry, just doing the principal quest line at level 60 :D
you missed a chest in the beginning of the cave
Never mind it works with slow time and whirlwind sprint
youre a legend
i think they changed it so the portal closes faster? i tried over and over again but the second the staff is removed the portal closes
:C
Don't try it with a bow. When a bow kills it, the corpse jumps up in the air.
The corpse invent conflicting with the activation point of the seal (where the staff should be placed back)
Use a sword~!
Bro I just done it got the staff went through the portal and forgot his MASK!
U made that look so easy
It keeps shutting when i get the staff and not working
i made a mistake i was at the ending i saw the priest and i kept stabbing him but i pressed R2 and use whirlwind sprint i thought it was unrelenting force i dont know how to go back
I got it. Thank you!!
I got it from one of the other Dragon Priests.
I always distract them with a frost atronach then I spray
This helped, thanks
Im a fire mage and the fire dragon priest staff is really good. My destruction is 50 cause i recently became mage
It keeps closing instantly. Does it still work? The portal, I mean keeps closing instantly.
you earned a sub
its because its the only staff that has that enchantment so its unique
Henevoraak has the same staff, the only reason this one is special is because of its gray colouring.
Surely you've heard daedra said enough times to know it is not a deedra so it's not deedric. Atronach isn't atronatch either. Good video though
once i was get stuff from them smiths in dawnstar and he was sell a chest pience of dragon scale armor
I used the bound now took me a while to get it right though.
Holy shit thank you it freaking worked!!!!!!!
Still works took me 30 try to get it
but u cant drop it, it counts as a quest item
Love the staff :)
Yeah nope I killed him right next to the portal, double tapped square and jumped in but it wouldn't even let me in
this staff does the same thing as the dragon priest Hevnoraak's staff
Yup
I think this was patched with the Dragonborn dlc. I did this correctly four or five times, and when I picked up the staff, the portal stayed open but stopped working altogether, so I was just wandering through the portal but wasn't going anywhere. Must be Bethesda's way on cracking down on cheaters...
Thanks man
darkjakk, the spell does 10 damage per second and the staff does 50 I think.
Thank you!! :D
cant you just get one from a different dragon priest. i have gotten all of the dragon priests staves and they are all either shock or fire enchanted
Yeah hevnoraak's staff
Hey thanks i got the staff now
is there any way to get back to that temple?
plzzz
i tried it 10 times, couldn't do it. So i said screw it and just yeeted myself into the sovngarde portal
I did it uwu
I know I'm like, ten years late, but would it works if i took the staff on his body, went to Whiterun and duped it with a follower ?
I mean, your way of doing it is 10 times cooler than what I propose, but isn't my way safer and easier if ( like Todd Howard said) it just works ?
You can't fast travel from this location.
@hunterontherun807 That makes perfect sense, thank you kind sir !
So does the staff go away after the quest ends?? Can you store it away??
You can kill him at level 3 after Helgen. That was my lvl when i did it.
leveled enemies.... that depends on the 'difficulty' not your absolute level.
s. a. r. c. a. s. m.
Well, it wasn't very clear. The sarcasm I mean.
So the same thing as hevonorak's staff?
