Walkthrough [ ]

Escape [ ]

The Word Wall for Drain Vitality visible on the correct

Later on speaking to the mysterious woman, it is revealed her name is Serana. If the Dragonborn happens to exist a vampire she will comment that she could "Odour you from a mile abroad." She seems puzzled at her newfound freedom and asks to be accompanied to her home, Castle Volkihar, located west of Confinement.

The Dragonborn must then proceed to the exit on the far side on the cavern. Two gargoyle statues will shatter and come to life. After defeating the gargoyles, go along out of the cavern into the next room. There is a lever on the right that then opens a gate on the left, and besides releases ii leveled draugr from tombs on the walls.

Through this gate is a large arena of sorts. Several skeletons and a level draugr or Dragon Priest will be seated in various places around the arena. A word wall is located on the far right where a word of Drain Vitality tin can exist learned. Effectually this room are at least four malachite ore veins.

Proceeding through the final atomic number 26 door, another gate tin exist found with a chain that leads to the exit.

Castle Volkihar [ ]

Upon arriving at Volkihar Castle, the Watchman will be at the door.

Inside, Serana is met by a surprised Vingalmo who initially berates the Dragonborn for entering, merely backs off once he sees Serana, whom he gives her a grandiose welcome dorsum, only to be cut short past her begetter, Lord Harkon, who only seems interested in the Elder Ringlet that is on Serana'south person.

He then proceeds to question her on the "guest" she has brought with her. She tells her male parent the Dragonborn is the one who rescued her from her entrapment.

Harkon: "My long-lost daughter returns at concluding. I trust you have my Elderberry Scroll?"
Serana: "After all these years, that's the first thing yous ask me? Yes, I accept the ringlet."
Harkon: "Of class I'm delighted to see you, my daughter. Must I really say the words aloud? Ah, if merely your traitor mother were here, I would let her watch this reunion before putting her head on a spike. At present tell me, who is this stranger you have brought into our hall?"
Serana: "This is my savior, the 1 who freed me."
Harkon: "For my daughter's safe return, you have my gratitude. Tell me, what is your name?"

Harkon then asks the Dragonborn their name. The following options are presented:

• I'm <Alias=Thespian>. Who are you?
• You starting time.

Either choice leads to the aforementioned follow up: "I am Harkon, lord of this court. Past now, my daughter will accept told you what we are."

• Y'all're vampires: "Not just vampires. We are among the oldest and well-nigh powerful vampires in Skyrim."
• Yous're a reclusive carnivorous cult: "Not quite, though I can meet how an outsider might arrive at that conclusion. No, nosotros are vampires, among the oldest and most powerful in Skyrim."
• I don't really intendance what you are: "Possibly y'all should. I count some of the oldest and most powerful vampires in Skyrim among the members of my court."

He will expand on this by mentioning "For centuries we lived here, far from the cares of the world. All that ended when my wife betrayed me and stole away that which I valued virtually."

The next ready of questions relate to a potential reward where Lord Harkon offers to bestow the power of a Vampire Lord unto the Dragonborn.

What happens now? "You have done me a great service, and at present y'all must be rewarded. There is just i gift I can give that is equal in value to the Elder Scroll and my girl. I offer you my blood. Take it, and y'all will walk as a lion among sheep. Men will tremble at your approach, and you will never fear decease over again."

Do I become a advantage for finding your daughter? "I was about to suggest that very affair. Yep, you virtually certainly deserve a reward. At that place is simply one gift I tin give that is equal in value to the Elder Scroll and my daughter. I offer y'all my blood. Take information technology, and you will walk as a lion among sheep. Men will tremble at your arroyo, and y'all will never fear expiry again."

The adjacent set of questions are dependent upon if the Dragonborn is already a vampire, werewolf or neither. He demonstrates his immense ability past transforming into a Vampire Lord himself:

I'thousand already a vampire. What more can you offering me? "Yous contracted a disease, possibly, merely you are no true vampire. Take my gift and I promise that you volition learn the difference. Decline me, and I volition banish yous from this castle. I will spare your life this once, but after that, you are prey."

I'1000 a werewolf. What will happen if I accept your souvenir? "Yeah, I can olfactory property information technology on you. The power of my blood will purge that filth and make you whole again."

And if I turn down your gift? "And then yous will be prey, like all mortals. I volition spare your life this once, simply you lot will be banished from this hall. Mayhap y'all still need disarming? Behold the power! This is the ability that I offering! Now, make your option!"

Volkihar or Dawnguard? [ ]

The Dragonborn tin can either accept or refuse his offer:

"I will have your souvenir and go a vampire."	"I don't want to get a vampire. I pass up."
Accepting Harkon'south offer will please him. He will lunge forward and bite the Dragonborn causing everything to fade out.	Refusal volition result in banishment from the castle. The Dragonborn will appear outside the castle with no other pick but to report back to Isran. The opportunity to become a Vampire Lord is fabricated bachelor again during the questline, nevertheless.

He then proceeds to teach the Dragonborn how to use the vampiric powers which include Claret Magic, Night Powers and fighting "every bit beasts do".
