Since animals all run faster than you, and at Legendary difficulty, have tons of health, I really don't have a chance at killing one unless I double dagger sneak attack them. However, once they are startled by something, they fly off and I lose a delicious soul and some hides.

How do I calm down a fleeing/running animal so I can kill it?



Best Answer

This may be tedious, but you can read all of the stone tablets on the way up to High Hrothgar. This will add the Voice of the Sky blessing to your character, which lasts 24 real-time hours (20 in-game days):

Animals will neither attack nor flee from you.

There are ten stone tablets along the Seven Thousand Steps. They do not need to be read in any particular order.
