The Elder Scrolls V – Skyrim: Dragon Burial Site Locations

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, there are twenty two dragon burial sites scattered across the continent.

You’ll have access to a map of the different burial site locations if you took it from Delphine’s table at the beginning of the quest “A Blade in the Dark”, where she has you meet her at a burial site to see if a dragon will be there. If you missed it, it should still be on the table at her inn in Riverwood, in the secret room in the Sleeping Giant Inn. Here is a screenshot of the map.

Dragon Burial Site Map

The map is a little vague, but it can help point you in the right direction.

During the quests with Delphine, she’ll inform you that the dragons are being resurrected in some sort of order, and you can see by the map that she is correct.

You’ll recognize a burial mound, because it will be a slightly raised mound, with a stone rim around it. They are fairly large, and stick out in the environment fairly easily.

Dragon Burial Site Locations

Here is a list of the locations to help you find the dragon burial sites, and the order that they are resurrected in. They don’t open until certain points in the main quest, and not all dragons will stick to their burial site either.
