Main plot
Dawnguard
As soon as you reach level 10, talk to any guard, innkeeper, you will be told that the ancient order of vampire hunters of the Dawnguard is being revived. You can also get this information from the wandering orc Dorak (English original Durak), which you can meet in any major city or on large highways, if the guards did not have time to convey to you the information about the revival of the order. And so, you have to go to Fort Dawnguard, located in the southeast of Skyrim. Go out of the riften and follow the marker that will lead you to a small cave. After passing through it, you will find yourself in the valley of the fort. Follow the road and you will soon see him. Along the way, you will meet the peasant Agmeir, who is also tormented by the desire to join the ranks of the Guard. Entering the fort, you will witness a brief dialogue between Isran (the head of the Dawnguard) and Stendarr's lookout Tolan. Tolan will tell you that the vampires have destroyed the Hall of the Watch, then Izran will deal with you and Agmeir. He will accept you immediately and even allow you to wander around the fort in search of free equipment. You won't find much, but a little is better than nothing. Most importantly, you will get a new powerful small arms in the game - a crossbow (so far the simplest steel one that shoots with similar bolts). You can safely steal shells for him from Agmeir, pulling them out of the boxes while he is practicing shooting. Another 45 pieces can be obtained from Dorak for free if you find him in the vicinity of the fortress (you can also get a second crossbow from him, which can then be given to a companion). This will complete this task and immediately begin the next one.
Awakening
Isran will immediately invite you to prove yourself in the order. Watcher Tolan will continue his tale of their order's defeat in the war against the vampires. According to him, the reason for the mass attack of bloodsuckers on the Hall of the Watch was their recent discovery about the Crypt of the Night Void. He intends to go there on his own and avenge his brothers in the order. Isran will send you to help Tolan, because. it is necessary to find out what the vampires are looking for in this ancient crypt and, if possible, deliver it to the fort. The crypt is located south of Dawnstar in the vicinity of the sanctuary of Mehrunes Dagon. In the first location called the Crypt, there will be nothing interesting, just an ordinary cave with monsters and vampires, get rid of all enemies, find the lever that opens the main grate and go to the next location (our friend Tolan will already be killed by this time, revenge failed) . There, at the very beginning, you will hear the dialogue of the higher vampire Lokil with the sentinel Stendarr Adalvald about information about the Crypt, after which Lokil will kill him, because. will not receive the necessary information from the sentinel. We go down into the hall, sentence all vampires to death and then solve the puzzle.
To get started, click on the button in the center of the circle, a spike will pop out of it and pierce your Dovakin's palm. The blood activates the braziers on different circles. These braziers can be moved from one circle to another. With the correct position of the brazier, it will light up with a blue flame, the path to it will be engulfed in the same flame. Your task is to light all the braziers so that the path from the blue flame leads to the center of the hall. This will be followed by a slight transformation of the floor. a large stone pillar with a lid will come out of the center, from which the girl Serana will fall out. She will turn out to be a vampire, but not hostile towards you. Talk to her, she will tell you a little, because. does not yet trust you, and the centuries spent in captivity have somewhat tired her. Serana will ask you to escort her to Castle Volkihar (it is located on an island west of Solitude; you can get to the island by boat from the pier of Coldharbour. Get out of the cave, killing a couple of gargoyles and a draugr warlord near the wall of words of power (the first word of the cry "Life Drain") and thus complete the quest.
blood ties
After reaching Castle Volkihar following the route described in the previous quest, you will find yourself in the main hall, where the head of the clan, Lord Harkon, after a brief dialogue with Serana, will offer you a "mercy" to become a member of the clan and receive the power of a vampire lord. If you refuse - continue the passage of the addon for the Guardian of Dawn, if you agree - you will pass for vampires (drink blood, turn vampire people, kill other apostate vampires and eventually destroy the Guardian of the Dawn itself).
Dawnguard
-possibility to use stronger types of crossbows and bolts;
-possibility to take an armored troll as an animal;
-the ability to take another companion with Serana (although this is a bug, it is very useful and can be considered a feature);
- the ability to heal Serana from a vampire curse;
-a unique set of armor and weapons with bonuses against vampires;
- the ability to become a vampire lord (yes, you don’t lose this feature forever when joining the ranks of the Guard, it just becomes available only at a certain point in the story; all the possibilities of the vampire lord form will be preserved, but the jewelry sets and the power of the hematite bowl will cannot be used).
Clan Volkihar
-opportunity-to become a vampire lord immediately (at the same time, Harkon will give you something like a lesson);
-possibility of summoning gargoyles;
- the ability to enhance vampire properties with the help of the magic of the hematite bowl;
-a set of unique jewelry that increases the power of vampire skills;
-mortals will not attack you even if you are in the last stage of hunger.
Depending on the chosen side, the next task will vary.
Dawnguard
New Order
We return to Fort Dawnguard and tell Izran about Seran and what we saw in Volkihar Castle. After hearing this, this stern warrior will decide to strengthen the ranks of the order. You have to find the female engineer Sorin Zhurar and the seasoned hunter Ganmar. Sorin will be in the lands of the Reach, near the stronghold of Druaddah and the shrine of Peryite. She will go to the fort after you give her the Dwemer gyroscope (you can either take it from her lost bag, which lies next to the stone by the river, or give it away the one that was found somewhere else in your travels). Gunmar will be located near a random cave. He will go to the fort only after you help him defeat a huge bear. When you visit both of them, return to Isran. By that time, Serana will be waiting for you in the fort.
Reward
-Sorin and Ganmar can sell you a lot of useful items and full sets of Dawnguard armor; you can buy crossbows and bolts from Sorin.
-Sorin and Ganmar can give you special tasks for which you can get gold and valuable items.
-After completing this quest, the fort will gradually flourish, new people, things, etc. will appear in it.
Castle Volkihar
Hematite bowl
After receiving the power of the vampire lord from Harkon, he will instruct you to go to the mareti garan and say the cherished phrase "the time has come." We fulfill. Mareti will give us a brief excursion about the hematite bowl and lead us to it. Near the bowl, Vingalmo and Ortjolf will be waiting for us, who will be very surprised that the ritual of filling the bowl was entrusted to us. Now we need to go with the bowl to the Red Water den, fill the bowl from the source there and add vampire blood. The den is located east of Ivarstead. It really is a den, with a bunch of sick people suffering from skooma fever all over the place. Your task is to get into the far part of the brothel. The gate is locked. You can steal it from the hostess of the establishment or from the gatekeeper, you can also take the key by force. There is a third option - buy skooma, drink it, after which you will be kidnapped for the purpose of looting. Either way, make your way to the inner sanctum to the red spring. Fill the bowl, at the exit you will meet Stalf and Solonia, who serve Ortjolf and Vingalmo, respectively. They want to kill you, but it will also become clear from the dialogue that they also don't mind killing each other. Therefore, if you are of a low level, then let one of them kill the other, and you will already deal with the winner. We take the blood of a vampire from one of the corpses and return to the Volkihar castle (at the exit you can finish off the staff of the brothel, if you have not done this before). Tell Mareti that Vingalmo and Ortjolf sent assassins to you, he will say that this is in the order of things, but Harkon is pleased with you.
Reward
-You will be able to use a hematite bowl, which will teach your ability to steal life and mana from enemies during vampire attacks for 24 hours;
-You will be respected in the clan and will be given individual tasks, for which you will receive valuable items and gold;
-You can take any items in the castle
-You will be allocated your chambers (go from Harkon's chambers to the right to the end), before there was only rubbish, but now everything is furnished as it should and you can find a number of valuable items.
Prophet
If you play for the Dawnguard, then by the time you return to the fort, Serana will be waiting for you there. Isran will let you talk, she will tell you that her father (Harkon) is crazy and that you need to decipher it no matter what. ancient scroll who was buried with her. To do this, you need to find the priest of the moth.
If you play behind Castle Volkihar, then Harkon will gather the entire clan in the main hall, make a speech and say that it is time to read an ancient scroll in order to fulfill a certain prophecy on an eclipse of the sun. But the scrolls can only be read by the priests of the moth, one of them has recently appeared in Skyrim and must be found.
Further execution this quest and the entire storyline will follow the same pattern, with the only difference being that either Volkihar vampires or representatives of the Dawnguard will interfere with you, depending on the side you choose.
We take Serana with us and go to collect information about the priest of the moth. You can do this with innkeepers, cab drivers, city guards and magicians at the college of Winterhold. One way or another, we learn that the priest was in the Dragon Bridge, and there we learn that he recently left with guards along the southern road. We follow this road until we come across a broken wagon. We search the vampire's body, take the note and read it. Traces lead to the Ancestral Shelter Cave (located near the scene of the incident, you can easily find it by the marker). Inside the cave, your opponents will be either members of the order or vampires. At their leader (the guard Vanik or the vampire Malkus) you will find a special stone that must be placed in a special recess in the same hall in order to remove the magical barrier behind which the priest of the moth languishes. As soon as the barrier falls, Dexion Ivik (that's the name of the priest) will attack you. It will be enough for the Dawn Guard to simply beat him up so that he starts talking to you. The Volkihars will then have to use the Vampiric Seduction talent on him (don't miss the priest, the talent only works once a day!), and then bite him, making the priest his trell. Remember that the talent of seduction appears only on the second day of fasting. Then we order the priest to go to the Volkihar castle or to the fort of the Dawnguard, depending on who you are going through. Then we arrive at the right place ourselves and observe the ritual of reading the scroll. Dexion will decipher part of the prophecy, and other parts will be in other scrolls that you have to find in the following quests.
Looking for a scroll
You have to find 2 ancient scrolls in order to finally decipher the prophecy. The first of them is the Dragon Scroll, you must find it according to the main plot of the game during the "Beyond the Ordinary" quest. If you have already completed the main quest and sold the scroll to Ugar gro-Shub at the College of Winterhold, then you should buy the artifact back for 4000 septims (if you are an archmage, then for 2000).
The second scroll - Blood, should be with the mother of Serana Valerika, who disappeared without a trace immediately after she hid her daughter from Harkon in the Crypt of the Night Void. The next 2 quests will be dedicated to finding this powerful vampire.
In pursuit of an echo
Before imprisoning Serana in the Crypt of the Night Void, Valerika told her that she would hide where Harkon wouldn't even think of looking for her. During a short dialogue, it will become clear that Valerika hid right in Volkihar castle. The old saying immediately comes to mind: "If you want to hide a thing best of all, put it in the most visible place." Serana recalls that Valerika had a garden in the courtyard of the castle, a place that Harkon never visited. We leave for the Volkihar castle, go around it on the left side and go down to the underground room, which is something between a basem*nt and a crypt. There you will be attacked by skeletons, rats and gargoyles. There are practically no traps in the dungeon. There will be only one insidious place at the fork, but Serana will tell you the right safe path. As a result, you will find yourself in the courtyard. Serana was right, the place was obviously abandoned. The moon clock, the mechanism of which is broken, will immediately catch your eye. Serana will once again express a clever idea - to try to fix the clock. On the main part of the clock, 3 marks with moon phases will be missing. All of them can be found in the vicinity:
- in a flower bed
-on the stairs in front of the entrance to one of the towers
-in the pond
When you find all 3 parts - mark them on the clock, then you will open the passage further. Make your way through the dungeon, killing all evil spirits. You have a long way to go, because being initially underground, you will have to climb almost to the very top of the castle to the balcony. There will be Valerika's secret laboratory. There will be a portal circle in the center of the lab, but it will be sealed. Serana will remember that her mother has long wanted to find a way to get into one of the planes of Oblivion, called the Cairn of Souls, from where you can draw an unlimited supply of soul stones and summon the most powerful undead. You need to open a portal. Serana will tell you to look for her mother's diary (look for a red-bound book). From it you will learn that Valerika managed to get into the Cairn of Souls, in order to open the portal you need to make a potion from the following unique ingredients:
-purified void salts
-shards of soul stones
- crushed bone meal
All this will need to be put in a container, near which Serana will be waiting for you. Once all the ingredients are in the container, Serana will add her blood to it, and the portal to the Cairn of Souls will open. Quest completed.
Note: If you are playing as the Dawnguard, then you will not enter the portal just like that. There are 2 options:
-Serana must perform a ritual to split off a piece of your soul (in this case, you will lose 30 units of health, mana and stamina);
-Allow Serana to make you a vampire (in this case, the representatives of the Guard will stop giving you individual tasks, but they will not get into a fight; to get the tasks of the Guard again, just heal from vampirism in any way).
Beyond death
Once in the Cairn of Souls, go straight all the time. Your opponents here will be a motley high undead: fallen, bone, misty and furious. You can return to Cairn as many times as you like, so if you are too lazy to wander around these hard-hitting expanses in search of adventure, then do not bother, but simply complete the main task. Having reached the wall with the central gate, which divides the Cairn into 2 parts, continue straight ahead. If you need to sell or buy something, then go a little to the right, there will be a merchant soul. However, he will sell things not for gold, but for the shoots of a unique plant that grows only in the Cairn of Souls (such funny tubular stalks, you won’t miss them for anything). These pods are very useful, because. temporarily grants immunity to the effects of huge soul gems that you will encounter if you explore the various strongholds on the outskirts of the location. And so, going straight all the time, you will get to the huge central citadel, where you will find Valerika. She will be skeptical of you, especially if you are not a vampire, but Serana will do everything to soften her mother's attitude towards you. As a result, Valerika will tell that the scroll is hidden in the fortress, but the entrance to it is blocked by a magical barrier supported by the Watchers - the supreme servants of the Ideal Lords (lords of the Cairn of Souls). Your task is to bypass the three citadels on the outskirts and kill the three Overseers. Just follow the markers. Getting to the top of one of the strongholds (to the Overseer) will be possible only through the well of souls, which will teleport you to the right place. If the Unrelenting Force shout is pumped, then you can simply throw the Overseer from the walls of his own fortress (on the Master or Legendary difficulty level, this most likely will not kill him). All Overseers wear a full set dragon armor and the same weapon (the weapon can be picked up later), so be careful, these are not weak opponents. After getting rid of the Watchers, return to Valerika. The barrier has fallen and the three of you can now safely pass through the gate into the inner part of the citadel, the so-called Burial Ground. Here you have to fight with the ancient dragon Durnevir (he is the same age as Alduin and Paarthurnax). The dragon itself is a plush opponent, it is not he who causes more problems, but the undead called by him (of which there will be quite a few). Durnevir himself owns the cry "Soul Rip". Together with Serana and Valerika, you will easily defeat him. Then the vampire mother will escort you to the scroll. She will thank you for helping Serana, she can sell you several potions (there are also unique ones), and she will cook one for you as a gift. However, she will refuse to return to Volkihar Castle for the time being. Harkon would most likely kill her. Promise her to come back for her when this is over and return to Tamriel. As soon as you return to Valerika's laboratory, the quest will close.
Note: when you leave the burial ground, you will meet Durnevir again, he will tell you the story of how he was deceived by the Ideal Lords, he will say that he will serve you, because. you defeated him in a fair fight and will teach you the "Summon Durnevir" shout. Each of the first three times you summon him in Tamriel, he will teach you the words to the Soul Rip Shout. Durnevir can be summoned in parallel with Odahviing, but not with any other summoned creature (Atronachs, Pets, Undead and Dremora).
Looking for disclosure
Once you have the Blood and Dragon Elder Scrolls, take them to Dexion Ivik to read. However, he will no longer be able to read them, for he became blind after reading the first scroll of Blood. And although Dexion himself is useless for you in this regard, he will tell you about an ancient ritual that will allow you to read the scroll.
Unseen visions
You need to go to the Ancestral Glade (south of Falkreath county between Anga's camp and the Blood Throne Fort), use a special scraper to collect the bark of an ancient song tree, then attract 7 flocks of moths to you, then stand in the center of the meadow and read the Blood scroll. From it you will learn about the ancient powerful artifact of the Falmer Aeriel's Luke and where it can be found. You have the most dangerous and exciting adventure in this addon. At the exit from the clearing, get rid of opponents (either vampires or Dawnguard) and get out to the surface. This quest will complete.
touching heaven
From reading the Elder Scroll, you have learned the approximate location of Auriel's bow. Go to the Limit and look for evening cave(southwest of the orc settlement of Mor-Kazgur). The cave is a network of narrow passages. When you reach a chamber with a hanging bridge over an underground lake into which a waterfall falls, remember this place and turn back to explore the cave. Pay attention to the corridors lit by torches. People used to stay here. In support of this, you can find the bodies of two Bretons and a note from which it follows that they waged a real war here with frost spiders and trolls. There are two ways to get to their camp:
-carefully explore the caves and use rings and torches that open passages between them (one of them leading to the lower levels will remain closed, because it can only be opened from the other side);
-return to the cave with the suspension bridge and try to pass through it, the boards will break and you will be transferred to the lower caves by a rapid flow of groundwater, one of the branches of which will lead you up.
It is the second way that you will have to act in order to move further on the assignment. Below in a large cave, which is something like an abandoned sanctuary, you will find a representative of the ancient race of snow elves (real Falmer, and not those skliz creatures that love to kidnap people in the vicinity of Dwemer ruins) Gelebor Pladin. He will tell you about the tragedy of his race, about the burial place of Auriel's bow, about Auriel himself and about his brother-traitor Archbishop Virter, whom you have to kill. However, getting to Wirter will be very difficult. You need to activate 5 wayshrines, for this you need to scoop water from each of them into a special jug (we will receive it as a gift from Gelebor). The first shrine is activated by Gelebor himself. Draw water and go to the only open portal which will take you to the location dark gorge.
---
The Dark Gorge is a cavern that connects the Evening Cave with the Forgotten Valley. This cave is dark, all the lighting in it rests on unique colors that close as soon as the GG is next to them, thereby plunging the surrounding space into darkness. Therefore, keep torches at the ready or sang Candlelight (Serana can cast it herself, although she does this not at your request, but when she pleases). Sooner or later you will reach the Pass. The main opponents here for you will be the Falmer (fallen) and Korus, although you can also meet unique valley saber and deer. As a result, in the hall with an underground lake, go up to the sanctuary of Illumination, where you will be met by the spirit of Prelate Sidanis. We draw water and go through the opened portal to Forgotten Valley.
---
Below will go detailed description Forgotten Valley, because without it, it will be very difficult to figure out the surroundings and you can miss a lot of interesting things. I will also list the locations of all the secret and important items needed both for the main plot of the addon and for individual quests.
vestibule
This is the first area of the valley where we exit the location Dark Gorge - Pass. A barely visible path to the left will take you up to the ice troll's nest. The road to the right will take you to a nameless cave, which is inhabited by a huge number of corus, and in its secret zone you can find a unique shell beetle (you can forge a unique helmet from its shell in the "miscellaneous" section). Continuing in the same direction, you will find the third wayshrine (Observations) and Prelate Atringa. We do a standard operation with water and activate another portal (you don’t need to go into it anymore). Climb down to the big path between the mountains and go towards the huge arch in the style of Falmer architecture. Behind them, a less pleasant picture awaits you, because. there will be cobwebs and aggressive arthropods everywhere. Continue along the path, making your way through the spiders, and in the end you will come out directly to the valley, or rather to the river (lovers of landscape screenshots will love it here).
Near river bank
First of all, approach the columns right before the exit from the spider passage. Search the chest and take the first book in the ancient Falmer language. Walk along the river to the left and you will find another wayshrine (Knowledge), where Prelate Selegrisias will meet you. If you continue along the river in the same direction, you will see a fault into which the river will flow. Jumping into this rift will take you to the location of the Dark Gorge Grotto, if you jump into the mountain waters there, you will emerge in an underground lake at the Dark Gorge Pass, which you passed through earlier. Return to the columns and now go right. If you go along the lower path (along the river), you will fall directly into the lair of the ice giant (a powerful enemy in close combat, it is better to deal with him from a distance). Take from his inventory amethyst paragon and other values. If you chose the upper path, then in the end you will find yourself on a plateau from which, on the opposite bank of the river, the Paragons' Platform will be visible. If you jump off this plateau, you will fall into the lair of the second frost giant, who owns sapphire paragon. I’ll tell you about the paragons themselves a little later, but for now I’ll pay attention to the far bank of the river.
Far side of the river
It represents the foot of a huge rock. There are two ways to get to the next areas of the valley. The first one is on the left side directly opposite the Sanctuary of Knowledge. He will lead you to the Great Lake. The second is on the right side, opposite the lair of the frost giant with amethyst paragone. It is a kind of staircase. Approximately in the middle of the ascent, you can turn off from it to the Paragon Square. But if you climb to the end, you will find yourself on the opposite shore of the Great Lake. Directly there will be a passage to the Grand Canyon, and next to it - the Sanctuary of Resolve (there you will be met by Prelate Narilor).
great lake
It is from it that numerous waterfalls flow, feeding the lower river, and the lake itself is fed from the Grand Canyon River. The reservoir is almost completely covered with a thick layer of ice, along which you can easily go to the center of the lake to the wall of words of power (the second word of the shout "Drain life"). Here you will have the first grand battle in the Valley, because as soon as you get close to the wall of words or just reach in the middle of the lake from under the ice from centuries of captivity, 2 noble twin dragons Naslarum and Voslarum will wake up (in latest version they will not appear if the player has not yet completed the "Dragon in the Sky" quest in Whiterun, in earlier ones they will appear anyway). After defeating them, return (or go for the first time) to the Sanctuary of Resolve, and then to the Grand Canyon.
Grand Canyon
This is the most boring part of the passage of the Valley, because. there are just clouds of fallen ones, there are already enough corus. But the main thing is a bunch of bridges on the air route, the path along which is very confusing, so be careful and turn your head 360 degrees. I advise you to go through the air route first, and then the lower one (along the river). Up on the left slope about 1/3 of the way in the paddock will sit a third frost giant caught by the fallen, who will have emerald paragon(whose activation on the site will lead Dovahkiin to the second ancient Falmer book). On the right slope there will be a gold mine, and a little further the upper entrance to the steep slope cave. The tent on the fourth stone bridge will contain the third ancient Falmer book. In the lower part of the canyon there will be a bunch of cocoons of flying corus, the lower entrance to the Steep slope cave (in it, as well as in the Cave of the Threshold, there will be a shell beetle in the secret room).
In the opposite part of the canyon there will be an entrance to the Ice Gorge.
Ice Gorge
A large cavern connecting the Grand Canyon and the top of the Valley. Inhabited by the Fallen, Korus, and Ice Trolls. In its corridors, you can easily get lost and wander in circles, so be careful. The passage you need will go up sharply right behind a large cluster of fallen tents.
Surroundings of the Inner Sanctuary
When you exit at the top of the Valley you will have 2 paths. First go left and back. After killing a few Fallen, you will reach the gate, behind which will be the lair of the 4th Frost Giant, holding diamond paragon. Then head back to the exit of Icefall and fight your way through the large Falmer settlement to a cleft in the rock. In the village, be sure to search the tents with mammoth skulls at the entrance, one of them will contain the fourth ancient Falmer book. And so, having reached the cleft, we will find the last wayshrine (Sanctuary of Radiance) with Prelate Edelbor. We collect water for the last time and move on. The gorge has a turn to the right and will eventually lead you to the abyss (at the bottom there will just be a village of the fallen that has just been passed). We go through the abyss along the luxurious bridge. Congratulations, you've made it to the Inner Sanctuary. Your suffering is nearing an end.
Inner Sanctuary
We go into the first room. There will be a pedestal against the wall on the left. Put a jug of water from the shrines on it. A secret door will open, behind which there will be the last ice giant and ruby paragon. Explore the halls further. There will be several more such pedestals, so do not forget to take the sacred jug. You won't have any enemies here until you wake them up. The fact is that frozen Falmer and Korus will only become aggressive if you take the item from their paws. So gradually you will reach the throne room of Archbishop Wirther. After a short dialogue, Wirter will revive all the frozen creatures in the hall, and when you defeat them, he will simply blow up everything around and run away. During a short cutscene, Serana will save you, after which you will rush in pursuit of Wirter, who has already spent a lot of strength. You will overtake him on the balcony. Grabbing the villain by the throat and raising her hands above the ground with a slight movement, your vampire friend states that Wirter himself is a vampire and it was because of this that Auriel at one time unleashed anger on the Falmer race, forcing them to enter into an alliance with the dwarves (dwemer) who deceived them and turned them into terrible fallen ones. Wirter will summon a frost atronach and the final fight will begin, which will end rather quickly not in favor of the vampire falmer. Immediately after the victory, the last sanctuary-portal will open on the balcony, through which Gelebor will come to you. He will give you Auriel's bow, teach you how to use its hidden abilities, thank you for restoring the shrine and offer his services in consecrating elven arrows. Remove a set of unique Falmer armor from Virter's body and use the portals to Paragon Ground (it's time for you to get the full reward for all your misadventures in this beautiful place).
Paragon site
And so, after all your adventures, you should have 5 paragons. Inserting each of them into the platform will open a portal to the secret area.
Amethyst Paragon- Grotto of the Dark Gorge. As mentioned above, you can get into the grotto through a mountain rift, but the paragon will take you to a separate ledge, on which there will be a chest with leveled items (there are no unique values here).
Sapphire Paragon- Inner sanctuary. The portal will take you to a closed room in the inner sanctuary, which will contain 3 chests with leveled items, a lot of gold and gems.
Emerald Paragon- Forgotten Valley ledge. The portal will lead you to the source of one of the waterfalls above the Great Lake, go a little forward and down the rocks (be careful not to fall off!), there you will find a chest with leveled items and the second ancient Falmer book.
Diamond Paragon- Ice gorge. As with the Amethyst Paragon, the portal will lead you to a small ledge where a chest with leveled content will be waiting for you.
Ruby Paragon- Forest of the Forgotten Valley. The portal will take you to a small plateau, tightly closed by mountains and overgrown with fir trees. The plateau is inhabited: a few ice trolls and a Falmer mercenary will be waiting for you. Be sure to kill this fallen one, because. he is the bearer of a unique artifact - the Shield of Auriel.
After collecting all the treasures, you can return to Tamriel. Now you have the most formidable weapon against the undead in the game. With this, you can go to Harkon.
family court
Having obtained the bow of Auriel, we return to the Volkihar castle to meet with Harkon (playing for the Guardian of the Dawn will still need to visit the guard fort and talk with Izran about the assault on the Volkihar citadel). Harkon will demand that the bow be given to him so that with the help of arrows defiled by his blood, he can extinguish the Sun. It is clear that we do not agree. After that, he will read a short moral about Serana's family debt, to which she will respond with a completely sincere desire to kill him. And then the battle will begin, the features of which are listed below.
1. Harkon will fight as a Vampire Lord.
2. In addition to the main offensive skill of draining life, he will actively use invisibility (which is strange, because it is available once a day), teleportation in the form of a flock of bats and the summoning of garugils (it will summon 2 pieces at once).
3. Periodically, he will teleport to an inaccessible zone and wrap himself in a force barrier, at these moments he can only be hijacked with the help of Auriel's bow.
4. After death, Harkon's body burns, and Harkon's ashes remain in its place (similar to the remains of a ghost, only bloody). From it you can draw the armor of the vampire nobility (+125% to the restoration of magic) and the sword of Harkon (drawing 15 units of HP, MP and stamina).
After winning the addon will be considered officially passed, and you can do the following:
-Return Valerika to Castle Volkihar;
-Build a passage from the main hall of the castle to the courtyard (only for the branch beyond Volkihar);
-Remove the Curse of Coldharbour from Serana (Dawnguard only)
-Become a vampire even playing as the Guardian of the Dawn, without fear of spoiling relations with them (turns Serana, provided that she herself is a vampire);
- Sprinkle elven arrows with vampire blood (when shooting from Auriel's bow towards the sun, they cause a solar eclipse for a day, or rather until the next morning), only Serana can do this, Valerika will refuse.
Remove the Vampire Curse from Serana
This is an unspoken quest. It is performed under the following conditions:
1. You must complete the Dawnguard addon.
2. Don't talk to Serana about healing before completing the addon's storyline.
3. During the dialogue about healing, in no case choose the replica "I will be calmer this way", Serana will be offended and will consider you an egoist. Apologies will not work here, and she will forever repeat "I don't want to talk about this anymore!".
If everything is done correctly, then Serana will go to Falion in Morthal and after a few in-game days will return to Fort Dawnguard.
Note 1: Remember, after healing Serana from vampirism, you will lose the ability to become a vampire with the possible use of the vampire lord talent, and also you will not be able to make bloody arrows of an elven curse to cause a solar eclipse, in addition, Serana will become mortal (in the sense that she can be killed in battle ).
Note 2: If you still failed the ability to remove the curse of vampirism from Serana, then the console will help you: enter startquest XX005044, where XX is the serial number of the addon in the launcher (usually 01).
: magic item.
Noteancient technology
Sorin Jurar will send you to a random dungeon 6 times in order to obtain unique Dvwemer blueprints. By bringing her each blueprint, you will be able to craft and buy improved crossbows and enchanted bolts for them.
Reward: Random magic item.
Strengthening the ranks
After completing the quest of the main plot of the addon, the "prophet" Ganmar and Sorin will ask you to talk with Isran about attracting Arkay's servant Florentius Benia to the Dawnguard. Izran reluctantly, but still tells that Florence is worth looking for in the excavations of Ranwald (east of the settlement Stone Shor). In the excavations, a crowd of aggressive sentinels of Stendarr will be waiting for you, who fell under the seduction of a higher vampire. Go through the gloomy corridors and kill the Altmer Minorn (which is surprising, she will not be a vampire, although she owns their skills). Take the key from her corpse and save Florence. After that, talk to him and say that the order needs his help. He will meditate a little while talking with Arkay, after which he will go to the fort.
Lost Relic
The quest can be received 3 times from Florence Benia, who was saved in the previous quest. Go to a random location and find an ancient artifact of the Order of the Dawn (hammer, shield and ax).
Reward: The artifact stays with you, and Florence also gives a random magic item.
hide and seek
The task is issued by Ganmar (you can take it indefinitely). You need to go to a random settlement and kill a vampire, skillfully disguised as an ordinary inhabitant.

The task is issued by Ganmar (you can take it indefinitely). You need to go to a random location and kill the master vampire in his lair.
Reward: 500 septims.

The task is issued by Ganmar (you can take it indefinitely). Almost an analogue of the previous task, with the only difference that information about the whereabouts of the vampire must be squeezed out of a random citizen (bribery, persuasion, intimidation, etc.).
Reward: enchanted weapon.
Jarl's Justice
The task is given by Ganmar or Isran. We go to a random city and look for the adviser of the nameless Jarl's adviser. With the help of pickpocketing, we steal from him a letter with incriminating evidence that he is a vampire, and show it to the jarl. Then we get permission to kill the scoundrel. Of course, you can not bother to such an extent, but simply imperceptibly slaughter a vampire or bite him in the guise of a werewolf.
Reward: magic item.
The rescue
Florentius Benius will inform you that one of your friends has been kidnapped by vampires. You need to go to a random place, kill all the bloodsuckers and save the unfortunate one.

Reward: words of gratitude to the saved.
Clan Volkihar
Spoiler
Rings of Blood Magic
The task is given by Feran Sadri. You need to go to 2 random places and get the Ring of the Erudite (+100 to mana + 25% to the speed of its recovery) and the Ring of the Beast (health +100, +20 claw damage), taking them from the local leaders.
Reward: you can keep the rings + vial of blood.
Amulets of the Power of the Night
The task is given by Feran Sadri. You need to go to 2 random places and get the Amulet of Gargoyles (allows you to summon 2 gargoyles at once or 1 if you have not yet learned the summoning talent) and Amulet of Bats (they now transfer the life and mana of the enemy to the vampire), taking them from the local leaders.
Reward: You can keep the amulets + vial of blood.
ancient power
The task is given by Feran Sadri after completing the main quest "Hematite Bowl". You need to go to a random location and get the remains of a higher vampire, adding which to the bowl will increase the effect of its action. The task is issued 5 times.
1 - 3 days of bowl power
2 - 5 days of bowl power
3 - 7 days of bowl power
4 - 9 days of bowl power
5 - 11 days of chalice power
New allies
The task is issued by Vingalmo. You need to go to the city and make the specified target a vampire. We act like this: fast for 1 day to get the Vampiric Seduction ability, go to the indicated city, find the target, cast Seduction on it, and then bite. None of the outsiders should see the last 2 actions, otherwise there will be a fight. After a few days, the victim will become a vampire.
Reward: enchanted weapon/armor or 3 blood potions.
Pedigree Protection
Quest given by Garan Mareti. You need to go to a random cave and kill the vampire master, and at the same time the bandits under his control, from which he wants to create his own clan.
Reward: magic item.
Note: if you have not completed the branch of associates, then there is a possibility that the vampire will end up in a cave controlled by the Order of the Silver Hand, in which case the bandits themselves can kill him (the quest will be counted).
Taming the beast
This quest is given by Feran Sadri or Fyura the Bloodsucker. You need to go to a random cave and kill the vampire master. Unlike the previous task, the vampire will be alone.
Reward: 3 blood elixirs.
Hunting
This quest is given by Garan Mareti or Fyura the Bloodsucker. You need to leave a message to the Dawnguard in the form of killing a random person. You will receive an additional reward if you do this discreetly. It is best to lie in wait for the victim at night or get into his house. But if the skill of eloquence is well developed, then you can simply persuade her to go to a secluded place to talk, and then kill her.
Reward: enchanted weapon/armor.
Gift
The task is issued by Vingalmo. You must be married to receive the quest. It is performed similarly to the "New Allies" task. Remember, if you married Aela the Huntress, then the quest will be impossible to complete. If you are married to Farkas or Vilkas, then the task can be completed only after they are cleansed from the curse of Hircine's blood.
Destroy the Dawnguard
The quest is given after completing the main storyline of the addon by Fury or Garan Mareti. We go to the fort and sentence all eight leaders of the Guard to death. Be careful with Izran, he has unique magic against vampires. After killing the Dawnguard, return to your quest giver.
Reward: 3 blood elixirs.
Note: Random Dawnguard attacks on you will still continue, though less likely.
deceive the herd
The final quest for the Volkihar message, which can be taken an unlimited number of times from Feran Sadri. It is necessary to change into the armor of the Guardians of the Dawn (you will receive a set from Sadri) and commit a murder in the city, and then put a compromising letter on the body of the deceased. Additional conditions of the quest are that the murder must be in public, and the target must be more noble and famous. This determines the value of the award.
Reward: blood elixirs and enchanted magic item.
Notes:
-fulfillment of a quest with additional conditions is always an arrest;
- do not take a companion on a mission, because most likely it will end in more than one murder;
- it is not necessary to kill named NPCs, it is enough to kill the guard, he is also considered an important target;
-the corpse of the victim will always lie in the city.

The task can be obtained from a soul named Jiub. Old-timers of the Elder Scrolls universe will undoubtedly remember this Dunmer from the Morrowind game (he was the first one he saw main character games, waking up on a ship sailing to Seyda Nin). As it turns out, Saint Jiub wrote an autobiographical opus, the pages of which are scattered throughout the Cairn of Souls. Find all the pages of the first volume and return them to their owner. You can find Jiub in the southeast of the Boneyard. As a reward, you will receive a unique copy of St. Jiub's Opus and Jiub's Amulet (increases stamina and carry weight by 50 units).
Page 1 - In the massive wall that divides the Cairn of Souls roughly in half, find a passage in the middle. Facing him, turn right, southeast and go up the stairs. Climbing up on it, you will see a page.
Page 2 - To the left of the entrance to the Burial Ground (where Valerika lives) there will be a small building with a broken Wall with the words of Power. This is the same building on which Dornevir sits. Near the wall you will see a chest, and to the right of it - a page from the opus.
Page 3 - Before going through the wall separating the Cairn of Souls, turn left. You will see a tower, which consists of only one chamber with a chest. Exit the chamber on the other side and you will notice a building with a soul stone. After climbing up the stairs, you will find an opus page on the roof of the building next to the chest.
Page 4 - Face the entrance to the Burial Ground and go around it to the right along the wall until you reach the annex. Go up the stairs, turn left and go up again towards the chest. The page lies next to the chest.
Page 5 - To the south of where Jiub sits at his fire, there is a stone elevation. On it, near the energy source, you can find a page and other items.
Page 6 - From the entrance to the Cairn of Souls on the side of the stairs, head southwest until you see a small tower. The page is inside, in the corner, next to the chest.
Page 7 - From where you found the fourth page, head east to the edge of the map until you see an altar. On the altar there will be a book Calling the Foggy. The seventh page and the pouch of coins are on the ground at the base of the pedestal.
Page 8 - From the entrance to the Cairn of Souls, immediately go right until you see a building with a portcullis. To enter, use a spell or shoot an arrow. Page inside.
Page 9 - Go west of the Boneyard entrance until you see a building with a huge floating soul gem. Look for a portal in the building that takes you to the top floor. The page is next to the chest, under the stone. In order to go down, you have to jump - there are no stairs in the building.
Page 10 - The last page of the opus can be found near the wall near the merchant Morven Stroud. The desired leaf lies on the barrel.

The first thing after installing the DLC, the question arises: how to see all the 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 (Killing vampires? Where do I sign up?).
Following the marker (the best way to get there is from Riften), we come to a crevice in the mountain. Let's jump boldly. Following the path, we reach 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, 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), which 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 get out of the crypt and along the way we study a new cry.
We move north, by boat we get to the castle Volkihar (Castle Volkihar) and go to the main gate. Seeing Serana, they will 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 on Thank you very much.) 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 one, named 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 (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 mission, 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 get 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 up 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.
It is required to speak 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.
You 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 basem*nt. 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:
|
|
We reach 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 are the Guardians of the Dawn, in a conversation with Serana we choose the option of splitting the soul (Soul trap me. I won "t feel right as a vampire), and then we say that we are ready (I" m ready). Separation is painless
and we can go through the portal. End of task.
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 which 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.
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.
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.
So, we stock up on everything necessary for a long journey and set off 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 to 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 get 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, which 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 a 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 receive ... honor and respect from all the Guardians of the Dawn. Congratulations.
The vampire storyline described here is only available in the Dawnguard add-on.
The storyline for vampires begins the same way as for the guards of the dawn. And in order to immediately understand exactly how the storylines diverge, a small drawing:
Requirements to start the storyline: level 10 or higher.
Requirements for completing the storyline: the presence of an ancient scroll (obtainable from)
Dawnguard
ID: DLC1VQ01MiscObjective
Talk to any guard, or visit Whiterun, where, after taking a few steps into the city center, the orc Durak will approach you and start a conversation about the war of the guards of the dawn against the vampires. Whatever you say, after the conversation will begin mission Dawnguard, and the entrance to the Ford of the Dawnguard will be marked on the map, you go there:
|
|
|
In the main building, we talk with Isran, and we say that we want to join the guardians of the dawn (in general, if you play on English version, and with English it’s tight - you can safely reap the first version of the dialogues everywhere).
The task will end after the conversation, and the next one will automatically begin.
Awakening
We leave for the crypt Dimhollow Crypt. Where vampires and other evil spirits will be waiting for us:
The first closed grate is opened by a lever, which is opposite, in a small room:
There will also be a second grille, and the lever that opens it will not be nearby, but slightly behind. Eventually, while exploring the crypt, you will come to this place:
We kill two vampires and begin to move the racks so that the magical fire in them catches fire. After all the racks light up in a circle, activate the rod in the center.
A little surprise will be waiting for you, and this is where the task ends.
Completing this quest unlocks the achievement: Awakening
Bloodline (Bloodline)
Now you need to take Seran to her ancestral castle. We get out of the crypt (we will again have to make our way through the mountains of corpses of skeletons, draugrs and gargoyles), after which we go here:
There will be a boat in the indicated place, we sit down (activate it) in it and appear at the Castle Volkihar:
We talk with Lord Harkon:
Important: it is in a conversation with him that there will be a fork between the light and the dark side. We need a dark one, which means we choose:
"I will accept your gift and become a vampire"
After that, he turns us into a vampire, and a mini-learning will begin:
Important: it is not known why, but if after training if once again with Harkon'e turn into a vampire lord, he will start attacking you.
After training, the task ends and the next one automatically starts.
Hematite Chalice (The Bloodstone Chalice)
ID: DLC1VampireBaseIntro
Without leaving the castle, we talk with Garan, who, after a long and incomprehensible conversation, will give us a special cup:
And send it to Redwater Den:
On the spot you will meet a simple ruined house ... but not everything is so simple. In his basem*nt there is some kind of torture chamber, and from it there is a passage to another location. In general, feel free to kill all the vampires that will interfere with you until you get to this place:
Press E (fill the goblet with special blood), kill a couple more vampires, and return to Castle Volkihar, to Garan:
Mission completed.
Prophet
ID: DLC1VQ03Vampire
We talk with Harkon'om:
Then we go to the College of Winterhold, where we talk with Urag gro-Shub:
And now we need to go to the Dragon Bridge village:
Where the job cursor disappears. You need to talk to any guard:
Then we set off across the bridge, along the road, where we find a broken wagon. We select a note from the corpse and read it:
|
|
|
Then we go to the Forebears Holdout dungeon, located nearby:
We kill everyone in our path until we get to this place:
Here you will need to disable the magical barrier. To do this, we select Weystone Focus from the corpse of Malkus and install it on the rack at the top:
We go to Castle Volkihar, talk to everyone the marker points to, and the task ends there.
|
|
Chasing Echoes
First, we talk with Seran:
After that, you need to leave the castle, go down the bridge, and immediately turn right (without swimming to the mainland), where you will find the entrance to the castle dungeons:
There are no special opponents inside, but you will have to run through the labyrinths fairly. And, of course, there will closed doors with levers (which you will suffer until you find):
We install them on the desired circles, after which the entrance to another location opens:
In the next Volkihar Ruins, you will have to run a lot and look for hidden passages - do not count on a quick passage of this location.
There are three difficult moments with hidden doors, the first two:
You find yourself in a room in which Serana will talk to herself a little, then you will need to talk to her (everywhere you can click on the first dialogue option), at the end of the conversation you are given a new task - to find a magazine.
It is on the shelves with red books:
We talk with Seran again, now you will need to find three ingredients. You need to look in the same room - there are a lot of different ingredients on the shelves and tables. I did not choose the right ones, but simply collected everything that lay.
After collecting them all, you need to put in this bowl at the top:
A portal opens to Soul Cairn - a beautiful and large location that will be pretty trampled.
As soon as you enter the location, the task ends and a new one begins.
Beyond Death
First you need to get to the marked point where you will meet Serana's mother - Valerica:
She gives the next task - kill 3 Keepers. They are in the same location, but in different parts:
The feature of the location is some glowing bowls that can teleport you to additional locations. One of the keepers will be in just such an additional location.
After killing all 3, we return to the mother, talk to her and follow her to the Boneyard.
Where the dragon Durnehviir immediately appears, which must be defeated:
After the victory, after talking with Valeric again, follow her and take the Elder Scroll (Blood):
Now we need to return to our vampire castle. On the way back, the dragon you recently defeated will speak to you and teach you new dragon words:
We leave the location, the task ends.
Seeking Disclosure
Important: in order not to wander through the numerous corridors and rooms, in the next location we immediately go out through this door, and then through global map moving to the entrance to the castle:
|
|
And we talk with Dexion Evicus:
The task is completed, and the next one begins.
Unseen Visions
Important: in this quest you will need an Elder Scroll Dragon, which is obtained from the game (see the tasks "Beyond the ordinary")
Let's go to the beautiful Ancestor Glade location:
Where first you will need to take a scraper, then use it on a tree nearby:
We talk with Seran - the task is completed:
Touching the Sky
Get ready for a very long walkthrough of this task and an unrealistic number of locations that you have to visit.
First we go to the Darkfall Cave:
There will be a suspension bridge in it - go through it for the first time, it can withstand you, go through it a second time - it breaks off, and you fall into the stream, which begins to quickly take you away in an unknown direction - do not worry, everything is fine:
He will bring you to the cave below, after passing through which we exit here:
We talk with the snow elf, from which he opens a portal to the Darkfall Passage. Let's go into it:
There will be practically no puzzles in all the upcoming huge locations, but here is one of them - a hidden stone wall, which is opened by a cable protruding from the wall nearby:
The essence of all the upcoming running around is to find 5 ghosts that will open shrines in which you will need to collect water:
|
|
We go into the opened portal, and we get into the next huge Forgotten Vale location:
The essence of the task remains the same - we are looking for ghosts and collecting water:
You will have to run a lot, explore several locations. When you see this building - know - the end is coming soon:
We go upstairs, pour the collected water into this bowl:
And we pass into Inner Sanctrum, the entrance to which will be behind you. There we meet Arch-Curate Vyrthur, we talk to him:
Then we fight with numerous ice Falmers, after which there will be small lyrical inserts and, in fact, a fight with him.
After the victory, talk to Kinght-Paladin Gelebor, who will be nearby, and take Auriel's Bow:
|
|
The task ends.
Kindred Judgment (Kingred Judgment)
This is where the final challenge begins. We talk with Seran and return to the castle, where Harkon is already waiting for us in the form of a vampire lord. We talk with him, everywhere you can choose the first points of the dialogues (do not give him the bow - in this case, it will make it very difficult to kill him). Then the final battle begins.
At the moments when Harkon surrounds himself with a red sphere, he is invulnerable, and you can "knock" him out of this state by shooting him from Auriel's Bow (I recommend putting him on a hot key).
In general, he is not a strong opponent, but very nimble and constantly restores his health.
We win, become a Master, get possession of the castle of vampires and all other privileges.
The task is completed. Congratulations.
Now you can take Additional tasks at various NPCs in the castle. I will write more about them later.
How to put out the sun
Now we can put out the sun for two hours. For this we need Auriel's Bow and Bloodcursed Elven Arrow.
Then we shoot at the sun (in the area of the sun, because the vampire cannot look at the sun, and it is displayed just as a bright blurry spot):

To get the Bloodcursed Elven Arrow, you need to have regular elven arrows and, after talking with Seran, ask her to make blood arrows (she will exchange 20 normal elven arrows for 20 blood arrows).
