Passage of quests of the main plot of Dawnguard

Dawnguard

After the hero reaches level 10, a random guard will speak to him, or one of the members of the Dawn Guard, the orc Dorak, will honor his presence. The dialogue will boil down to offer to join the Dawnguard, after which the task begins.

You need to go west from Riften and find the entrance to the Dawn Gorge, through which you can get to the new Fort Dawnguard location. Upon entering the main gate, you will see two NPCs talking. Speak with Isran and express your readiness to join the Dawnguard. The commander of the evil spirit hunters will not interfere and take a hero into their ranks, and will also reward crossbow and 45 bolts.

If you have no desire to wait for level 10, and you want to quickly plunge into the passage of Dawnguard, you can independently go to Fort Dawnguard and join their ranks. The corresponding level is only necessary for the hero to be reminded of the new content by NPCs.

Awakening

Quest will start after the first conversation with Dawnguard Commander Isran. The latter will ask the Protagonist to scout crypt Night Void and find out what the vampires are looking for there.

The Crypt of the Night Void is located east of Morthal. Going inside you will find yourself in a large cave; you need to go to a small tower to the right of the entrance and pull the ring. After that, the grate in the northern part of the cave will rise, and you can move on.

Soon the path will lead you to a room where a lone vampire is fighting two draugr. After beating this whole campaign, you will find that the room has four exits, except for the one through which you got here.

• The first passage to the left of the entrance will lead you to a chest;
• The second passage to the left of the entrance is the exit from the room;
• The third passage to the left of the entrance will lead you to two potions;
• The fourth passage to the left of the entrance will lead the hero to the draugr.

In the next area of ​​the Crypt of the Night Void, you will find vampires, this time fighting spiders. There is nothing interesting here, so feel free to deal with those and others, and then move through the wooden door to Cave of night void.

Once inside, you will witness how vampires kill Adalwald the Watcher, on whose body you can find valuable items: Amulet of Stendar(Block +10%), Recipe Potion Resistance Potion. After defeating the vampires who executed Adavald, press the button in the center of the large round structure. After that, the hero will be hurt in the palm of his hand, and a purple haze will appear around the button. Next, you need to move the braziers with an incomprehensible filler so that to make them burn. Once you get all five in the correct position, the floor will drop down and expose the Stone Monolith.

Having opened the monolith, the hero will find a vampire girl named Serana, who will convince the unlucky Guardian of the Dawn to kill her. After choosing a topic "Where can I take you", the task ends. By the way, after talking with Serana, you will understand that this is very ancient vampire, who was born long before the rise of Cyrodiil as an Empire.

blood line

The task will begin after the Main character talk to Serana in the Cave of the Night Void. The vampire girl will ask you to take her home - to Volkihar Castle.

Once the conversation is over Serana will become a satellite hero. No other development is expected, so be patient and head to the northern part of the hall with the monolith. The marker points the way, so it will be difficult to get lost.

As the hero approaches two stone gargoyles, they will stop being stone and attack him. Having overcome the shock of what he has gone, he must deal with them and continue his way through the wooden arched doors that hide behind a corridor blocked by bars. In order to open it, you need to pull the lever located in a small stone circle in front of the corridor. Circle illuminated by three candles so it's hard not to notice.

After activating the lever, an unknown sorcery will revive two draugrs and a skeleton, who will rush to deal with uninvited guests, in the form of a protagonist and his pretty companion - a vampire. Defeat the rebellious undead and move into the hall, made in the form of the Colosseum. Here, a small detachment of the hero will be waiting for the next serious enemy, which will be Draugr - the main commander.

Having defeated another adversary and looking into his chest, the hero must go through the iron doors in the northern part of the hall into the passage, outward.

After leaving the annoying dungeons, the protagonist needs to go to the northwestern part of Skyrim and take Serana to Volkihar Castle. To do this, he will have to get to berth Ice Waters , located far to the west of Solitude. And then, using the boat located there, swim across the bay that separates the mainland and a small island. On this island, the hero will discover the possessions of the Volkihar clan vampires.

Approaching the main gate of the Volkihar castle, Serana will thank the Protagonist and ask him not to be weird, and not to throw himself at the vampires after they get inside. Let's go, I'll talk to my dad and everything will be fine.

Upon entering Castle Volkihar, the protagonist must talk to Serana's father- Lord Harkon. As a reward for escorting Serana, Harkon will offer to undergo a rite of passage and become a vampire. At this point, the plot is divided to play as Vampires or Dawnguard.

• Having accepted reward from Lord Harkon and becoming a vampire, the hero will perform the following two tasks for the Volkihar clan.
• refusing become vampires, the hero will complete the following two quests for the Dawnguard.

In any case, after completing two tasks for one or another faction, the plot will merge again in one branch.

The task will end after the protagonist chooses one of the options with a reward.

Heliotrope Chalice (Vampire)

After accepting the gift of the vampire lord from Harkon, the hero must take a little training involving the use of new skills.

choose talent "Vampire Lord" and activate it (C key by default). After the transformation, the hero has access to melee and ranged combat modes, switching between them is carried out with the Ctrl key. In melee mode, the hero can swing his paws and drink the blood of his enemies. Ranged combat looks a little more interesting, in which the protagonist absorbs health with his right hand, and with his left hand he can use a variable skill (learned in the vampire skill tree). Among other things, in the Favorites menu (key Q by default), the following abilities become available: Bat (forward teleportation), Vampiric Vision and Shapeshifting; the learned skills of the Vampire Lord branch will also be stored here.

After making sure that the protagonist has mastered the Bankai and has become one step closer to enlightenment, Lord Harkon will instruct him talk to Garan Mareti. You can find it on the balcony, in the room to the left of the main entrance. Tell Garan that the time has come and he will lead you to the Cup of Heliotrope. According to Garan Mareti, this artifact, when used correctly, greatly increases the strength of vampires. However, Lord Harkon never used it, always relying on his own abilities. And, since he now decided to resort to the help of the Cup of heliotrope, then great things are coming.

In addition to talking about upcoming events, Garan will tell the protagonist what needs to be done with the bowl to activate it. In words, everything will turn out to be simple, it is necessary go to the source in the Krasnovodny lair and fill the artifact with water, and then add blood strong vampire taste.

The Redwater Lair is located northwest of Riften. Fortunately for the Protagonist, the shelter is inhabited by drug dealers and hostile ghouls, so you can shamelessly pump your vampire lord skills. Even, probably, another plus to karma can be obtained for a huckster.

On the way to the source, you will meet two doors with the Master level of the castle. The key to the first is at assistant, the key to the second Vampire Masters. Both of these NPCs are standing next to their doors, so it won't be easier to find them anywhere.

After the protagonist fills the chalice with the substance from the source, suddenly two servants will appear, belonging to the advisers of Harkon and will try to take the artifact. Defeat this sweet couple and add the last ingredient to the Cup of heliotrope - powerful vampire blood. Now you can safely go to Garan Mareti and report on the successful completion of the task.

New Order (For the Guard of the Dawn)

The task begins after the main character refuse Lord Harkon's offer become a vampire, after which he will be kicked out of Volkrihat castle.

First you need to return to Isran and tell him about what happened. Having received the news that the vampires now have the Elder Scroll and Seran, Isran is very upset and even assumes that the skiff will come to the Dawnguard very soon. However, pulling himself together, he will send the protagonist convince two strong wanderers join your order.

• Hefty nord Gunmar located next to the Skvoznyakov passage. He agrees to join Isran if the hero helps him defeat the cave bear.
• Breton Sorine Jurard located next to the Stronghold of the Druadah. She agrees to join Isran if the hero brings her a Dwemer gyroscope. A bunch of these lies in Sorin's purse, on the river bank near the Breton explorer's camp.

Once the protagonist manages to convince Gunmar and Sorin Jurar to join the Dawnguard, he needs to return to Isran. Last check new colleagues for belonging to vampires and will give them instructions. This task will end.

Prophet (For Vampires)

After the protagonist returns the Heliotrope Cup to Castle Volkihar, Lord Harkon will call him for another conversation.

From the conversation it becomes clear that Lord Harkon is planning somehow overcome the effects of the sun on vampires. How to do this should be written in ancient scroll, which is located at Serana. Having outlined his plans, Harkon will set off to push a fiery speech to his clanmates, and at the same time puzzle them; the hero must follow him.

Since the reading of an ancient scroll is an integral part of Harkon's ideas, he is desperately one of the Moth Priests is needed. Since only these individuals are able to read this very scroll. Thinking insidiously, the Lord deliberately spread rumors that Volkihar had appeared in the castle ancient scroll. According to Hakon, one of the Moth priests should definitely fall for this bait and appear in Skyrim. Now members of the Volkihar clan to be seen whether his ploy worked.

Upon completion of Hakon's public speech, the Protagonist's diary will contain three new tasks. One main one is to Find the Moth Priest, as well as two additional ones - to ask the carters and innkeepers about the priest. In addition, Serana will immediately speak to the protagonist and recommend another source of information - the College of Mages of Winterhold.

In any scenario, all informants will point to the location "Dragon Bridge" where the hero needs to go. Arriving at the place, the protagonist must find any guard and ask him if the Moth Priest has been to these places. Law enforcement officers will not beat around the bush and tell that a person similar in description recently moved along the road to the south.

Following the advice of the guards, the hero needs to follow the priest. A little away from the city, the protagonist will find overturned cart and several corpses next to her. Looks like there's been an uproar here recently. The protagonist needs to examine the place of the fight. On the body of one of the vampires, he finds a note, after reading which it becomes clear that the Moth Priest was taken to the Elders' Refuge.

The Elders hideout is located a little east of the fight or northeast of the Dragon Bridge. It consists of only one zone, in the eastern part of which you will find locked in an incomprehensible barrier Moth Priest. Of the opponents, the hero will meet only members of the Guardians of the Dawn and their faithful dogs.

Having overcome the opposing supporters of the light side, pick up Weystone Focus at Malka and activate Weystone site, located on a pedestal above the barrier. After that, he will disappear. However, the freed Moth Priest will not give thanks for the rescue. Instead, he attack the hero. Necessary beat him, and then use talent on it"Vampire Seduction" and bite to make it your thrall. As soon as this happens, order the priest to go to Volkihar Castle. This is where the protagonist goes.

Once in the castle, talk to Harkon and report to him about the successful capture of the Moth Priest. Not at all surprised by the success of the protagonist, Harkon will order to force the Priest read the prophecy from an ancient scroll.

After reading ancient scriptures that speak of Auriel's Bow, the terrible ruler of the night and the blending of darkness with night, the Moth Priest concludes that the rest of the information should contained in two other scrolls. Their hero will have to find them in the course of subsequent quests, the same one ends after another conversation with Lord Harkon.

Prophet (For the Dawnguard)

The quest will begin after Isran recruits Gunmar and Sorin Jurar into the Dawnguard. It turns out that during the absence of the Protagonist, Serana arrived at the fort and wants to talk about something.

Serana will reveal that her father Lord Harkon in due time obsessed with an ancient prophecy, which says that vampires, under certain circumstances, will be able to stop being afraid of the sun. Since the fulfillment of the prophecy would inevitably lead to the war of the Volkihar clan with all of Tamriel, Serana and her mother decided to interfere with the head of the family. Apparently, something went wrong and Serana was locked in a monolith, and her mother Valerika was forced to flee in an unknown direction.

After the Protagonist freed Serana, Lord Harkon came close to fulfilling the prophecy once again. In general, the vampire girl is so desperate that she is forced to ask for help from the Guardians of the Dawn. Help Serana convince Isran to trust her.

As soon as Isran surrenders and agrees to cooperate with Serana, she will remind you of ancient scroll hanging on her back. Since it is in this scroll that Harkon wants to fulfill the prophecy, Serana offers to read it and find out if it is possible to somehow interfere with Harkon's plans.

Since the Elder Scroll is not a simple thing, only priests of the Moth can read it. Fortunately, Isran just saw one of them in Skyrim. You can learn about the current location of the priest from three sources: the College of Winterhold, cabmen and caretakers of hotels.

Wherever the protagonist learns information, everything will come down to a journey to dragon bridge. There, the protagonist needs to ask any guard about the Moth priest. The brave law enforcement officers will not stint on talking and will advise you to go along the road to the south.

Following the advice of the guard and walking a little along the road, the hero and Serana will find the place of the fight. It is necessary to search the body of a vampire who fell in battle and take a note from him(paper). After reading it, it becomes clear that the Moth priest is being kept in the Elders' Retreat.

Once in the place of imprisonment of the priest, the protagonist needs to kill the vampire named Malk and take away the Weystone focus from his body, which must be inserted into the pedestal above the barrier. Once the barrier is deactivated, the drugged Moth Priest attack the hero.

Cool the ardor of the crazy old man and talk to him. As a token of gratitude, Dexion Irvik agrees to go to Fort Dawnguard and read the Elder Scroll. Once Dexion Irvik fulfills his promise, the quest will end.

The Hunt for the Scroll

After the priest of the Moth reads the Elder Scroll, it will become clear to everyone that the only way to understand the prophecy is to have two more scrolls. One of them is Elder Scroll (Dragon).

In the event that the main character has advanced in the main storyline before the quest "The Curse of Alduin", then he should have the scroll in inventory or at the orc librarian from the College of Wizards of Winterhold. The latter will allow you to redeem it for 5000 gold coins.

If the protagonist has not yet taken on the main quest, then after a conversation with Urag gro-shub (College of Winterhold), he needs to read the book "Reflections on the Elder Scrolls". Immediately after that, the task "" is activated, after completing which the Main Character will receive the necessary Ancient Scroll.

In pursuit of the past

The quest begins after the hero captures the Moth Priest and obtains information from the first Elder Scroll. The beginning of the quest will be marked by an appeal to the protagonist Serana. Vampire woman offers to try find her mother Valerika which may have Elder Scroll (Blood).

The hero needs to offer Serana to look for her mother directly at Volkrihar Castle. No matter how paradoxical it may sound, Serana will like this idea. In order not to arouse Lord Hakon's excessive curiosity, the vampire woman will offer to sneak into castle courtyard through a secret passage by the bay, in the northeastern part of the island.

After defeating the undead guarding those places, go through the door to the Volkihar Castle Dungeons. In the first room you will encounter resistance in the form of Hounds of death led by a wild vampire. By the way, from the note found with him, it becomes clear that in the castle of this poor fellow to live they didn't let me in, therefore, he settled in the catacombs.

In order to go deep into the dungeon, you need lower the bridge, blocking the exit from the room with the wild vampire. This is done using the lever located on the balcony above the bridge.

After the bridge goes down, Serana will kindly advise you to turn left. Following the advice of his companion, the hero will detect the lever. Turning the latter activates a mechanism that lowers another wooden bridge. On it, the hero with Serana will be able to get to the stairs leading to the Court of Volkihar.

There is a large moon clock in the courtyard of the castle. Serana will immediately notice that something is wrong with them. The hero needs to inspect the clock for a malfunction. It turns out that they missing a few moon rocks to be more precise - three.

• The first moonstone is in Valerika's garden;
• The second moonstone on the balcony above Valerika's garden;
• The third moonstone is in the pond next to the moon clock.

As soon as the protagonist inserts missing stones in hours, they will turn and open the passage to the ruins of Volkihar. Overcoming the crowds of the rebellious undead, the hero needs to break into a small room with a gargoyle and a grate blocking the path. Attentive eyes will notice that behind the gargoyle weighs a ring responsible for opening the lattice. Pull on it and keep moving forward in search of Valerika.

After resting a couple more skeletons, the hero will stumble upon large arched doors, through In the room with four stone gargoyles, you can find the Royal Vampire Armor. which you can get into the room with four gargoyles. There is a secret passage in this room. You can open it by pulling the candlestick by the fireplace.

Having overcome the tunnel behind the secret passage, the hero with Serana will fall into a large hall. In the center of it is an incomprehensible circle that will interest Serana. Looking around, the protagonist will find bookshelves in the southern part of the hall, on one of which he must pick up Valerika's diary.

After reading her mother's diary, Serana will remember that Valerika tried to explore Soul Cairn and could probably find a way to get there. The stone circle, however, may turn out to be a portal to this mysterious place. However, to try open a portal, you need to collect refined salt of the void, finely ground bone meal and fragments of soul stones. Fortunately, all the necessary ingredients can be found right in the hall with the portal. Moreover, they are in large bowls so they are hard to miss.

• The soul gem shards are on the wardrobe by the stairs;
• Purified salt of the void is on the balcony, above the secret passage;
• Finely ground bone meal is on the table, under the skull of a mammoth.

After finding all the ingredients, put them in bowl over the portal, and then speak to Serana. The vampire woman will add her blood to the bowl and the portal to the Cairn of Souls will open. If the protagonist is not a vampire, then in order to pass through the portal he will need to become one (Serana will help), or donate a part of your soul. In the latter case, while in the Cairn of Souls, the hero will lose 45 mana, stamina and health. The main thing upon returning is not to forget to ask Serana how to return the lost characteristics.

The task will be completed as soon as the Protagonist and Serana enter the portal and end up in the Cairn of Souls.

Beyond death

Once in the Cairn of Souls, follow the castle with two luminous towers, the quest marker will not let you get lost. It is important to be in front of the castle with Serana, as Valerica will start a dialogue only with my daughter.

As soon as Valerika finishes chastising Serana for her indiscretion, she will talk to the main character. Serana's mother will tell you that she and her daughter were servants of Molag Bal and went through a ritual dedicated in his honor. This ritual is so severe that few survive after its completion. However, survivors receive the blood of a true vampire. Valerika will also share information that in order to fulfill the prophecy hidden in the Ancient Scrolls, need Serana's blood. Summing up the information received, it is not difficult to conclude that Lord Harkon planned to kill his own daughter. Apparently, it was for this reason that Valerika locked her in the tomb.

The dialogue with Valerika will end with words of distrust towards the protagonist. After that, Serana will not stand it and will scold her mother for past sins. Like, you and dad used me, and this dude did a lot for me in a short time of acquaintance. Surrendering to the pressure of her daughter, Valerika agrees hand over your Elder Scroll. But, not everything is so simple. The fact is that Valerika is locked behind some incomprehensible barrier, which can be destroyed destroying three caretakers located in the highest towers of the Cairn of Souls (quest markers will not let you get lost).

Having dealt with the caretakers, return to Valerika and ask for the Ancient Scroll. The vampire woman will invite you to follow her to the castle. On the way to the scroll on the hero's group will attack Durnevir- the dragon guardian of Cairn of Souls. Defeating the last one talk to Valerika, which will marvel at the victory over the physical form of Durnevir and continue to lead the hero to the Elder Scroll.

After receiving the scroll, return back to Skyrim. At the exit from the castle, the protagonist will meet Durnevir again, but this time there is no need to fight him. On the contrary, the dragon grant the hero the knowledge of the scream, allowing you to call him at the right time.

The task will be completed as soon as the Protagonist and Serana leave the Cairn of Souls.

In search of truth

The quest begins after the Moth Priest reads the Elder Scroll of Serana. To complete the quest, you need to find two other scrolls.

As soon as the hero collects all the scrolls, you need to talk to the priest of the Moth and ask him to read them. Alas, the priest will refuse the protagonist, as he has already gone blind after what he saw in the first Elder Scroll. However, you should not despair, as the priest of the Moth will indicate what needs to be done to independent reading scrolls.

Invisible visions

Since the captured priest of the Moth Dexion is blind and can no longer read the scrolls, the main character needs read them yourself, preferably without side effects. To do this, he will have to perform a mysterious rite, previously practiced by the priests of the Moth. You can learn more about him in the Ancestral Glade, located east of Falkreath.

In the depths of the Glade of the Ancestors, the protagonist needs to find scraper knife and cut with it the bark of the Singing Tree. After that, the hero will have to attract flocks of ancestral moths- butterflies flying in groups of three or four. They are found in abundance in the Glade of the Ancestors, so it's hard to call this a problem.

Having gathered a pack of butterflies around him, the hero needs to stand in sun circle and read three Elder Scrolls. As soon as this happens, you should go to your companion Serana and tell what you managed to see in the scrolls. When approaching Serana, the hero will find that she attacked by a hostile group(if the grid does not open, click on it and type disable in the console). Defeat the ill-wishers and share the collected information with Serana.

The task will be completed as soon as the main character tells Serana where to find Auriel's Bow.

Touching the sky

From the Ancient Scrolls, the Protagonist learns that Auriel's bow can be found in Evening Cave, located southwest of Solitude and north of Castle Volkihar.

Once in the Evening Cave, the protagonist must move deeper until he stumbles upon suspension bridge. When you try to pass through it, the bridge will not withstand, and the hero and Serana will fall into the streams of a seething underground river, which will carry them into a branch of the cave, infested with spiders.

Having dealt with the insects, the hero and his companion need to move to the northeastern part of the location (the corridor leading east near the camp with the dead Breton). There, among the wayshrines of Auriel, the protagonist will meet Knight Commander Gelebor. Which, by the way, is one of snow elves, not turned into a Falmer.

Gelebor will tell you that the only How to get Auriel's Bow is to perform an ancient ritual of carrying water in a jug. Since this is the only way to open a passage to the temple where the desired artifact is stored, the hero will have to work as a water carrier.

After the protagonist agrees to participate in the ritual, Gelebor will open portal to Evening Passage. After exterminating the crowds of Falmer and overcoming the transition, the hero with Serana stumble upon a wayshrine of Light and the spirit of a snow elf named Prelate Sedanis. The protagonist needs to ask the spirit to open the sanctuary, fill the jug and go through the next opened portal leading to the Forgotten Valley. Here, quest markers will come to the aid of the player, pointing to the rest of the sanctuaries.

After the hero fill the jug of all five shrines, he needs to empty it into the bowl at the entrance to the Inner Sanctuary of the Temple of Auriel. As soon as this happens, the gate will open and nothing will interfere with the protagonist proceed to the temple.

To move around the temple of Auriel, players will need a jug filled by them in the shrines. Put the jug on the altar - the passage opens, stand out the door, then take the jug.

Through the Inner Sanctuary, the hero with Serana will fall into Chapel of Auriel. Here they will find seated on the throne of Virthur- the brother of the Knight-Commander Gelebor, about whom, by the way, he warned.

Virtur will prove to be a very unpleasant person upon verification. That frozen revive the Falmer, then the ceiling will collapse. As soon as the hero and his companion overcome all the misfortunes of Wirth, he will finally lose his temper and destroy the remains of the Temple of Auriel. The protagonist will be thrown to the ground by an explosive wave. The benefit of Seran will be nearby and morally cheer up the hero.

Wirth himself, after the explosion, retreats to a small balcony, where the Protagonist and Serana can talk to him calmly. It turns out that Wirth used to be Auriel's first confidant and had the honor of speaking with him. But, after one of the flock infected Wirth with vampirism, Auriel turned away from him. Virtu did not like this turn of events, and he decided to take revenge on the one whom he used to worship. Since it was not given to him to kill Auriel, Wirth decided to outshine the sun to lessen Auriel's influence on the mortal world.

Wirth's words will make a negative impression on Serana and she will attack him. The hero should join the battle and destroy Wirth. Immediately afterwards, a wayside shrine will appear next to the balcony, along with Knight Commander Gelebor, who give the protagonist Auriel's Bow. This task will end.

family court

After the Main character receives Auriel's bow, he needs to talk, with which has already become almost native during the adventure Serana(if you play as the Volkihar clan) or Isranom(if you play as the Dawnguard). Both NPCs will offer the only correct, in their opinion, option for further action, namely assassination of Lord Harkon.

Well, in general, it's time to give a hat one of the main antagonists this DLC. Travel to Castle Volkihar and challenge Harkon.

As soon as the fight starts, attack Harkon with everything you can, while remembering to keep an eye on his location, as he has a habit of often teleport. Also, Lord Harkon closes himself every now and then. spherical barrier, at this time it is necessary shoot him with Auriel's bow.

After defeating Lord Harkon, you complete the walkthrough the main storyline of the Dawnguard expansion.

Invisible visions(orig. Unseen visions) — quest of the main storyline of the Volkihar and Dawnguard factions in the add-on The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard.

Returning after completing the previous task, the main character needs to find Dexion Ivik, who could read both remaining Elder Scrolls. Finding him, the hero learns that the monk is blind. Although Dexion will not be able to read the scrolls, he will indicate a way how they can be read without being blinded. To do this, you need to go to the cave Glade of the Ancestors and perform a special ritual.

Glade Ancestor

After entering the cave, you need to go down for a scraper knife, which is necessary to collect bark from a tree that attracts moths hovering in the cave. It is not necessary to catch moths, it is only required that they fly after the main character. To do this, you need to walk through the cave in search of clusters of these insects. There are seven such clusters.

After a “fluttering aura” forms around the protagonist, you need to stand in front of the altar and read the Ancient Scroll. After that, a ghost will appear in front of the hero, who will tell about the next step to the fulfillment of the prophecy - the place where you can find Auriel's Bow. When the ghost disappears, the protagonist will be attacked by vampires sent by Harkon (if the protagonist is on the side of the Dawnguard) or Dawnguard warriors sent by Isran (if the protagonist is on the side of the vampires). Note: in the cave you can find a leveled shield with a fire resistance enchantment. To do this, you need to stand in front of the altar so that there is a rose tree exactly behind it, then turn to the left - there will be a stream flowing over the stones; at the end of the brook there will be a shield.

Bugs

• After reading the Elder Scroll, a task will appear - to talk with Serana, but at that time she is fighting behind bars with hostile vampires, so this is impossible.
  • Solution: immediately after reading, you need to press the "Wait" button for about 12 hours and only then go to Serana. Or, you can use console commands. Open the console, click on the hash and type disable . After that, you will have to fight the vampires.
• After completing the quest, an aura may remain around the main character, which reduces visibility, especially in the dark.
  • Solution 1: make a save and exit the game. In the launcher, in the "Files" section, disable Dawnguard (uncheck). Re-enter the game, take a couple of steps, save and exit the game again. After that, you can connect Dawnguard and continue the game.
  • Solution 2: To remove the unwanted effect, you will need to install Moth Aura Remover

Quest stages

To go to a certain stage of the quest, enter in the console:

Setstage DLC1VQ06 stage

where the stage parameter is a number, the stage of the quest (all stages are listed below).

Notes

• Not all quest stages may appear in the quest log. Which of them will appear and which will not depend on how the quest is completed.
• Stages are not always displayed sequentially. This usually happens if the quest has multiple possible endings, and also if some of the quest steps can be completed in any order.
• If the stage is marked green, i.e. as the end of the quest, then this means that the quest disappears from the list of active quests in the journal, but new entries related to the quest may still appear in the quest journal.

Your first goal is to find the priest's knife (Moth Priest's draw knife), its location is indicated on the map. We go to a place called Ancestral Glade ( orig. Ancestor Glade). The fastest way for those who have already explored Skyrim well is to travel to Helgen and then through Falkreath to the cave we need. On the way you will meet the Guardians of the Dawn and small groups of bandits.

Glade of ancestors

Elder Scroll

Foreword

All users of personal computers were looking forward to the release of the first full-fledged add-on for Skyrim called Dawnguard. In this article I will describe the passage of the storyline for the faction of the guards of the dawn.

To better understand how the storyline diverges into light and dark side Here is a small diagram:

Requirements to start the storyline: level 10 or higher.
Requirements for completing the storyline: the presence of an ancient scroll (obtained by Skyrim main walkthrough)

Dawnguard

ID: DLC1VQ01MiscObjective

First of all, after installing the DLC, the question arises how to see the entire additional content in all its splendor? The answer is simple, after your character reaches level 10, any Skyrim guard will have a dialogue about recruiting into the guards of the dawn, but if you are in the city, an orc named Durak (Durak) will come up to you and talk to you. We choose the answer with the desire to join the vampire slayers (Killind vampires? Where do I sign up?).

Following the marker (the best way to get there is from Riften) we come to a cleft in the mountain. Let's jump boldly. Following the path we get to the entrance to the castle. Next, we observe the scripted dialogue of two NPCs:

We speak with a character named Isran (Isran) and show a desire to join the Dawnguard (I "m here to join the Dawnguard). This is followed by a scene of conversation between Isran and Tolan (Tolan), after which the task "Guardian of the Dawn" ends.

Awakening

We follow the cave, which is located near the sanctuary of Mehrunes Dagon and kill a bunch of vampires in it (attention! to follow the storyline of the Guardians of the Dawn, do not accidentally become infected with vampirism). Arriving at some altar:

press the button under the marker and a purple glow appears. Next, you need to move the braziers (Brazier) that are standing around so that they become engulfed in flames.

When everything is ready, a stone monolith (Stone Monolith) will open, upon activation of which a lady of beautiful appearance and ... long fangs will fall out of it. After talking to her, the task ends.

Bloodline (Bloodline)

As it turned out, the girl's name is Serana (Serana) and she asks to take her home. Well, let's not refuse. We choose from the crypt and along the way we study a new cry.

We move north and by boat we get to the castle Volkihar (Castle Volkihar) and go to the main gate. Seeing Serana, they immediately open the gate.

In the castle, Lord Harkon is waiting for us, who will offer you to become a vampire. We choose to refuse to accept this curse (I don "t want to become a vampire. I refuse your gift), because we want to cut vampires! Not very happy with this development of events, Harkon expels us from the castle (well, he doesn’t kill and thanks for that) On the way to the castle of the Guardians of the Dawn, we observe an attack on the castle by a detachment of vampires, in the amount of 3 pieces!After killing them, we talk with Isran and this task ends.

New Order (A New Order)

ID: DLC1HunterBaseIntro

We are required to recruit two new Van Helsings to the castle. Let's start. The first, by the name of Gunmar, will not come to the castle until you kill the she-bear that is in the cave before our eyes. Complexity here can only be delivered by a troll that has settled near a she-bear. We talk with Gumnar and he goes to the castle.

The second recruit will be a girl named Sorine Jurard. She flatly refuses to go to the castle if you do not have a pumped persuasion or if she does not have a "Dwemer Gyro". Luckily, Serana's lost bag of gyroscopes lies near the river.

We give her one piece and she is already a member of the order.

Returning from the task, we find ourselves closed in the castle where we are being tested for vampirism. If you are not infected, then the gate will drop, after which we go to Isran (turn left and up the stairs). End of task.

Prophet

ID: DLC1VQ03Hunter

We are required to follow Isran, who will lead us to Seran (I already thought I would have to kill her) and after talking with them we will be sent to find out about a certain priest. We go to the College of Winterhold to the librarian Urag gro-Shubu and find out where to find the priest (I need to find a Moth Priest), he will send us to the Dragon Bridge. Arriving there, we lose the task marker, but any resident of the city or guard quickly rescues us. We ask if they saw a priest here (Know anything about a Moth Priest visiting Dragon Bridge?) and we are told that he was here, but had already crossed the bridge to the south.

We take out a note from the vampire and after reading it we go along the marker into the cave. We clean it up. From the marked corpse we take out the quest stone and insert it into the hole on the parapet.

The energy barrier is falling and you have to beat the old man! After talking with him, after his sides were dented with our sword / mace / ax / fireball / (insert as necessary) we send him to the castle, and then we move out there ourselves. After the dialogue in the castle, the old man reads the ancient scroll and the Prophet quest ends.

Chasing Echoes

It is required to talk with Serana and from the dialogue we learn that the entrance to one of the Oblivion planes is hidden where she would not look. We offer her an option with the Volkihar Castle (In Castle Volkihar?) and hit the road.

We should not meddle in the main entrance of the castle, we will go to the left.

In the castle we go through the corridors, unlock the doors, lower the bridges with levers and in the end, going out to Fresh air, we come across a moon clock (it's like a sun clock, only a moon clock). They look like this.

To make them work, you need to find the missing sections:

After repairing the mechanism, we go down to the basement. We pass along the way, taking all the opponents into Oblivion.

Mechanism from the lattice behind the gargoyle.

Activate.

How unexpected!

Passing by a room with a bunch of gargoyles, do not forget to take a beautiful vampire armor.

Find a couple of differences:

Arriving at this location with circles in the middle of the room:

I advise you not to touch anything until it is indicated in the task (there are bugs with the task) and just in case, save.

After a long speech by Serana, she asks us to find her mother's diary.

We read, pick up, give to Serana (I "ve found your mother" s notes). After which she asks to find three things in the room to open the portal.

Next, put it all in a marked goblet and say to Serana. She drips her blood into it, the portal opens, but we can't get in. Serana tells us that either a vampire can enter there, or one who leaves a part of his soul in this world.

Eh, since we Guardians of the Dawn choose the option of splitting the soul in a conversation with Serana (Soul trap me. I won "t feel right as a vampire), and then we say that we are ready (I" m ready). The separation is painless:

and we can go through the portal. End of task.

Beyond Death

After passing through the portal, we find ourselves in one of the oblivion planes, where those souls that are absorbed into the stones are stored. A feature of this area is its own, unique landscape. There are cracks in the ground, activating them fills one of the soul gems in the player's inventory.

First of all, we go to the marker, along the way meeting wandering souls and local undead.

Arriving at the place we will meet Serana's mother Valerica.

On her tip, we go to kill three guardians. Nothing complicated with this, the markers will indicate where they are.

Returning to Valerika, we find that the barrier separating us has disappeared and she takes us outside the gate.

Where a dragon appears to be defeated.

And then we move on to the next task.

Seeking Disclosure

One of the scrolls for this quest is obtained through the previous quest, and the other during the passage of the main storyline.

Having obtained both scrolls, we talk with the monk.

This completes the task.

Unseen Visions

Important: in this quest you will need an Elder Scroll Dragon, which is obtained by main story games (see tasks "Beyond the ordinary")

The monk who was supposed to read our scrolls has gone blind! Now you need to perform the moth ritual.

To do this, we go to the cave under the sign, where we take a scraper, use it on a tree and start running after the moths. It is not necessary to catch them, it is only required that they fly after you. To do this, we run around the cave in search of 7 groups of moths.

When they are collected, we go into the light and read the scroll.

We speak with the companion and the task is completed.

Touching the Sky

So, stock up on everything you need for long journey and we go on a mission, it will take a long time to climb dark caves.

So in the first cave we need to jump into the water and go with the flow, it will lead to the right place. In general, the cave is quite straightforward, we look at the location map and go where we have not been before. After a long journey, we meet a snow elf named Gelebor! The only representative in his right mind and with sighted eyes.

Talking with him, we learn that he is not the last snow elf, but he really wants to become one and gives the task to kill his own brother. Well, it is not possible to continue the race, so one more member of the endangered race, one less - it does not matter.

The representative of the red book opens a portal for us and we are given the task to collect 5 water samples from different sources.

There is a lot of running around, a lot of Falmer, the dragon is also not alone, but there should not be any difficulties in finding locations.

In the end, we come to a huge castle, into the bowl of which we need to pour the collected water. We go to the opened location and meet the brother sitting on the throne.

He does not want to give up just like that, so he revives the frozen Falmer and Corus whom we have to kill. Next, the fight takes place with the snow elf himself:

after defeating which, Gelebor will give us Auriel's Bow.

End of task.

Kindred Judgment

The final task of the Guardians of the Dawn! We talk with Serana, and then with Isran in the castle, where he, rejoicing at the discovery of the bow by us, will gather all the soldiers and make a fiery speech.

Having dealt with them, we run to the castle, where a battle is burning, in which it would be good not to hurt our own.

And the last to fight with Harkon. There is no need to give him the bow, because the battle will take place in any case.

He is a nimble opponent, summons skeletons and gargoyles, sometimes pupates, becoming invulnerable to everything except Auriel's bow.

By killing him, we get ... honor and respect from all the Guardians of the Dawn. Congratulations.
