It's pretty easy to accidentally activate the first dragon attack so I imagine they scaled it pretty low. Unique dragon so it's possible.
How many Dragons in Skyrim?
- Thread starter zombiejunkie
- Start date
actually only reason it killed the first time is because i went to the top of tower. and was standing on the side when it landed. it flew away and came back for another pass and i either fell off or it knocked me off the tower. epic fail.
yeah i had that problem with one in the mountains south of whiterun. hed attack a giant and by the time i shot an arrow at him he went and ate a sabre cat or something i chased him back and fourth for about 10 mins before i was able to score a hit on him with an arrow. then i learned my shout power doesnt knock him out of the air anymore lol still killed that one though.

If you're having trouble getting the dragon out of the air, find a more open/flat area so the dragon can land easier.

The dragon's do increase after the "Blade in the Dark" main quest concludes. After that point the all mighty dragon,(I forget its name) begins to reserect dragons from the burial mounds found across they many Holds of Skyrim. If you timing is right you may even catch him in the act. There are 5 varieties of dragon and many of them are intragle to specific quests. In adition to these "plot based" dragons there are an infinate amound of random dragons you will encounter along your journey. I have found that the areas near where the "plot" dragons were slain, random ones seems to respawn every few game days. You won't ever see more than one two dragons in the air on the console ports of the game but there is a mod for pc users to spawn as many as you like, or so I've heard.

Well I was a level 5 Khajit when I killed that first dragon. But of course there are guards there that kick the pl*ps out of it while you are trying to kill it. After that one, there are side quests where you can get followers. If you plan to run into a dragon of high level then have a follower of high level so that you stand a chance. I say this because I have killed 5 dragons and seen 3 others by my whopping level of 9, and blood dragons will kill you.

There is a blood dragon in the mountains as you run toward Solitude that will easily kill you. He is at his burial area and there is almost no where for him to land. So, archery is your best bet for that dragon. Also, make sure you can hide well because your follower will most likely die in that dragon attack.
Oh and dragons are like wolves and trolls. If you can out run them, then they will stop attacking you. With a dragon, run until there are other guards near you and then heal up fast. That will give you a chance for them to help and you to kill the beast.

I noticed flying to the College of Winterhold activates the appearance of dragons more consistently than other locations.
It's near the northeast corner of the map, so chances are no matter where you're flying from, you're covering a lot of distance and time, and I think that's what influences dragon spawning.
It's what I do when I want to farm some dragon bones/scales. It works alright.
