The world ofThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimfeatures an incredible variety of enemies to fight, though the most impressive are the game’s dragons. InSkyrim, dragons are massive, beast-like creatures equipped with fierce intelligence and powerful dragon shouts. However, oneSkyrimplayer caught a video of a group of Falkreath guards decimating an unlucky dragon.
The guards inSkyrimare NPCs found around the major in-game cities, including the city of Falkreath. Over the years, the guards have become notorious for their willingness to arrest the player if they’re caught breaking the law, no matter how bad an idea it might be. With this background, it may be easy to see why a group of guards would be willing to fight a dragon.

Redditor WWE-Fan_1999 shared a short 11-second-long clip of asmall party of Falkreath guardstaking on a dragon. While this may not seem like a particularly surprising set-up, the result may shock gamers. Not only did the guards take on the dragon with the same fearless bravery they take on the Dragonborn, but they also demolished the creature in battle. The clip appears to show the end of the battle, but it’s also possible that the guards were simply doing enough damage to kill the dragon in seconds.
It’s unclear whatweapons the guards were usingin this fight–while giving the guards overpowered weapons is impossible without mods, some players have found other options. One possible way to power up the guards is to reverse-pickpocket them and sneak powerful weaponry into their inventory. With sufficiently powerful items on their side and a great numerical advantage over their foe, it may make sense that they were able to slay the dragon so quickly. Regardless, gamers may find it amusing how WWE-Fan_1999’s video showed the Dragonborn quietly backing away from the triumphant guards.
It appears that other fans find this situation hilarious. Several users replied to the post by quoting some linesSkyrimguards can sayto the player, including one line where the guard wonders if they’re the Dragonborn and just don’t know it. Another group of users began discussing the way one of the guards gets on top of the dragon to execute a kill move. One user noted that the guard will likely be telling this story for the rest of his life, and they likely deserve to.
