This one is incredibly cool but it’s not higher on this list because there’s a chance diehard Skyrim fans might already know about it, even so, we’ve gotta talk about the secret dragon in Blackreach.

If you’ve played any Skyrim you’ve probably ventured into Blackreach at least once. Apart from being one of the most gorgeous places you can visit in a video game, it’s home to more than a few secrets, too. Possibly the best of these is the secret hidden boss, summoned by shouting at the giant orb in the centre of the area.

You’ll certainly have noticed this orb but it might not occur to you to send an Unrelenting Voice shout in its general direction.

Do that, though, and the dragon Vulthuryol will appear and try to blast your eyebrows off, undoubtedly causing quite a shock for those who figured they were relatively safe down in Blackreach. Seeing a Dragon fly around the awe-inspiring location is incredibly cool, even if taking him down isn’t the toughest challenge.
