To kill a dragon in Skyrim can be an exciting experience the first time around but it can also become a tedious exercise if approached haphazardly with no strategy. Here are some tips to help take down a dragon quickly and easily. If your character is at a low level try to get near non-player characters. They will help to inflict damage to the dragon and may serve as alternative target decoys. Early in the fight against a dragon when it has a lot of hit points and is swooping around, ranged weapons and spells are what you need, so bow and arrows is likely necessary or spells like fireball and chain lightning if you have them. Usually the dragon circles then comes to a stationary position where it can be more easily hit. Often the dragon follows a fixed pattern with the dragon favoring a particular position from which to hover and attack. This makes it predictable. Prepare one's best attack while it circles then unleash it when the dragon pauses. It can be time-consuming whittling the dragon's health down at lower levels so patience is necessary. When a dragon is weakened enough, however, it will stay on the ground where it is vulnerable to stronger melee attacks which can finish it off quicker.
Once one learns the Dragonrend shout it therefore becomes much easier to defeat dragons. The strategy is to prioritize keeping the dragon down with Dragonrend and only then attacking it in earnest. For example one Dragonrend shout to bring the dragon down, then another to keep it down, followed by strong melee attacks immediately after to inflict damage while keeping an eye on the shout bar to unleash another Dragonrend shout the moment it is possible while the dragon is still on the ground to keep it there and prevent any further opportunity for it to fly.
