Skyrim - Defeating Alduin
Has anyone completed the main story on Skyrim?
The boss battle against Alduin is ridiculously difficult. Needs coaxing down on the ground with the dragonrend shout. Sits there for about 5 seconds, doesn't take any damage and one hit from his fiery breath will kill you quick unless you have a bazillian health potions.
Compounded by the fact there are 2 dragons, one is friendly but I keep mistakenly bringing him down and hitting him with a few spells. TBH I've run away down the mountain and can currently be found picking flowers near Whiterun; I know the fight is still up there waiting for me :-(
Any good tips? (apart from not being rubbish at gaming)

No you have to damage him, there is a specific sword that dragons don't like, Find the sword in Sky Haven Temple, near the Karthspire in the Reach. Search near about the center of the Reach territory, it is called Dragonbane.

I did really well and got him to within a inch of his health bar. I used two full charges of the staff of magnus to deplete his magicka then found the lighting spell was dishing big damage.
It all went pair shaped when he whipped me with his tail and hit me against a rock. Game over. It was because I swapped the armour for robes as I was wanting fast magicka regen - no armour value.

I'm only posting this for fun - genuinely don't want to offend - but this reminds me of a brilliant Yahoo Answers thing from a while back. In response to the question:
"Where can I find a dictionary of the language used in Skyrim?"
...someone responded:
"About 5000 miles from the nearest vagina"
Well, I mean - can't take it too seriously, can you?
