    How to unlock At the Summit of Apocrypha

    This trophy is story related and cannot be missed. You will earn this trophy upon completion of the main quest.

    To get to Apocrypha, read the Black Book: “Waking Dreams”. Work your way through to Chapter VI by completing the puzzle with the four books and once there, use the Word Wall to learn the final Word of the “Dragon Aspect” Shout. Once you do this, Miraak’s dragon, Sahrotaar, will come and attack you. Use a fully charged “Bend Will” Shout to tame him and then approach him and mount him. Complete the small dragon-riding tutorial and eventually you will land on the summit. After a short conversation, you will have to fight Miraak. You must deplete his health bar 4 times, as the first 3 times he will kill a dragon and absorb its soul to replenish his health. Eventually he will be defeated, and after the cutscene you will be rewarded with this trophy.

    *Glitch Warning*: Make sure to make a save before you use "Bend Will" on the dragon. This is because there have been a couple of issues reported with the last boss:

    1. When you deplete the boss' health bar, he will walk to the middle of the circle and be in an ethereal state. He will then kill a nearby dragon and absorb its soul to replenish his health. Sometimes, he will kill the dragon and simply not absorb the soul, leaving him standing in the middle and unable to be hit due to his ghost form. This happened to me, and I think the reason was that I looted the dragon before the boss had absorbed the soul. To avoid this, I would advise not touching any of the dragons until the boss fight is over.

    2. When the boss has around 1/10th of his fourth and final health bar left, the fight will be over and a cutscene will play. If you are too overpowered, you may kill him outright, causing the boss to be dead unable to be interacted with due to him being labelled "busy". To avoid this, raise the difficulty or simply use a less-powerful weapon that won't take off too much of his health at once. Thanks to luckyegg for confirming this glitch.
