Skyrim: Dragonborn details on new shouts, achievements and locations leak

The Dragonborn DLC is hitting the Xbox 360 next Tuesday. However, details about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim add-on such as the new spells, weapons, monsters, achievements, shouts and locations leaked out from the beta Thursday.

The Outhousers got the scoop by digging up information on the beta version of the Skyrim: Dragonborn DLC from various sources. Some of the details may be spoilers so avoid read further if that is a concern.

The plot of the Skyrim add-on starts when Cultists of Miraak come to Skyrim to try and kill you for being a “false” dragonborn. From there, you find the location of their boat which will take you to the island of Solstheim near Morrowind.

The beta player that the Outhousers got their information from has already played more than 30 hours of Dragonborn between the sidequests and main quest. Fans of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind will be happy to hear that all of the great Dunmer houses still exist. Redoran is the most influential on Solstheim while the Telvani do not have a large presence. Hlallu is there too but is shunned due to its cooperation with the Empire.

Below is the information on the new shouts, enemies, creatures, locations and achievements that The Outhousers were able to glean from the beta leaker.

New Shouts:

Cyclone – creates a small tornado (that is pretty funny to use)
Bend Will – force a dragon to fight with you.
Dragon Riding – player hasn’t gotten to this one yet.
Dragon Aspect – creates the dragon armor from trailer and gives stronger shouts, stronger melee attacks and summon Ancient Dragonborn to fight with you when you get low on health. Can only be used once per day.
Battle Fury – like Elemental Fury but for NPCs

New Creatures & Baddies:

Werebears – no word on whether the player can become one yet, but all have been hostile so far. They transform into the bear after being near them a short time.
The Morag Tong – They seem to act more like Silver Hand encounters where you fight against them a bit and have random encounters of them. No ability to join with them so far. Hostile Dunmer in Morag Tong armor.
Serpent-like creature – Player won’t describe this excactly, though says one is pictured in the trailer and won’t give its exact name either.
Lurkers – Extremely tough and frustrating enemies with plenty of health and dish out a lot of damage. Good challenge. About the size of giants and they are creatures that have ‘slipped’ into Tamriel from H. Mora’s realm.
Ash Spawn – officially mentioned and pictured in Bethesda’s releases.
Rieklings – officially mentioned and pictured in Bethesda’s releases.
New Dragon types encountered.
New Dwemer automation – a walking dwarven ballista.

New Weapons & Armor:

Deathbrand Armor – similar to stalhrim
Two Unique Scimitars you can get by the end of the quests
Bonemold Armor – Officially mentioned by Bethesda (heavy armor)
Chitin Armor – Officially mentioned by Bethesda (possibly a light armor)
Stalhrim Weapons and armor – Again, officially mentioned (many of these you can glimpse in the trailer and screenshots)
Carved Nordic Armor & Weapons – a heavy armor
Spears – I know there are some waiting for info on spears, but Bad News: Only the Reiklings have used them so far and if the player picks them up, they go into inventory as arrows.

New Spells/Enchantments:

Poison Rune
Whirlwind Cloak
Ash Shell – lets you encase enemies in ash (paralyze) or slow them down with damage.
Waterwalking – back in enchantment and potion form
A new Ring that allows resurrected creatures to explode into frost and fire damage.
Staff Enchanting
New Active Effect – from H. Mora’s realm you can find a book that lets you choose from three active effects: Mora’s Mercy, Mora’s Wrath and Mora’s Agony. You can return to the realm and choose a new effect if you want to replace it (sounds like a similar thing to the effect Parthurnax gives you, or the one you receive for the Nightengale quest)
Ash creature conjuration spells
New Summoning power – player doesn’t want to spoil what it is, but says it’s cool.
