At the Summit of ApocryphaBy Stephanie Lee, Hector Madrigal, Brendan Graeber, +162.5k moreupdatedAug 27, 2017

At the Summit of Apocrypha is the seventh and final quest for the Dragonborn Main Storyline, The previous quest is The Gardener of Men.

To finally face off against Miraak, read the Black Book: Waking Dreams to return to the area of Apocrypha you first met him in. Travel through the different 'Chapters' of the book and at last you will come upon Miraak's Serpentine Dragon. Use the Bend Will Shout on the Dragon to make it land and ride it. Hang on as the Dragon flies through Apocrypha and gives you a brief tutorial on dragon riding before depositing you at the summit of Apocrypha where Miraak awaits you. He is a dangerous foe, and will utilize Dragon shouts against you while defending himself with the Dragon Aspect Shout. When his health is depleted, he will Become ethereal and summon one of three dragons circling overhead. He will siphon their souls to regain his health, and you must battle him until no more dragons remain for him to absorb. Defeated, Miraak will be punished for his plans for domination by an angry Hermaeus Mora, who regards you as his new champion, and will allow you to spend Dragon Souls to respec one of your talent trees.

With that, Miraak has fallen and the island of Solstheim - and more importantly the world - is now safe from his wrath. Congratulations, you are the true Dragonborn!
