How do you decapitate someone in skyrim?

Answer 1

There is a perk in the one-handed skill tree (about leve 60 or so) that gives a chance of decapitaion when using a one-handed statding power attack.

Similiarly, there is the corresponding perk in the two-handed skill tree at the same level.

Answer 2

You need the Savage Strike perk on the One-Handed skill tree, you need to be using a sword, and perform a power attack while standing. This gives a 25% damage boost, with a chance of decapitating the opponent.

Answer 3

To decapitate someone in Skyrim you need the necessary perk from either 1 handed or 2 handed weapon tree(s). Salvage strike from 1 handed (50 skill) OR devastating blow for 2 handed (50 skill).

Answer 4

You need a powerful dagger(blade of woe)or get the assassins blade pirk. Then sneak up close but remain undetected and and attack. You should slit there throat.
