Hey guys,

I'm getting trouble on defeating alduin by doing one sneak attack and I didn't found any topic about this.

During the fight I'm able to be hidden (using ultra-high sneak and nightingale shadow cloack) while Alduin is on the ground but when I launch an attack on him it is non-sneak damages.

After my attack I'm not even discovered before a few seconds.

Am I doing something wrong ? Is that even possible ?

I think it is possible to one shot him if I can place the 3 sneak attacks.

Dragonbone dagger 160 damage each

Assassin perk *15

Shroudded gloves *2

3 attacks *3

Dual Savagery *1.5

160*135=21600

I didn't calculate his life but I think it's enough, if you want to do so i'm level 76 and playing on legendary.

(Feel free to tell me if there is something wrong on my calculation)

Thanks for your help !

PS : I'm not in trouble to defeat Alduin I just want to kill him with a sneak attack.

Use all 3 tiers of Elemental Fury.

I think it may be because you're on legendary difficulty. It reduces your calculated damage by a huge amount before it's applied to the enemy, so if that's happening, then your "21600" would actually do a lot less damage to him then it would on lower difficulties.

The thing is my attack is not even a sneak attack so there is just normal damage. I can't do a sneak attack on him even when i'm "hidden"
