В новом глобальном дополнении игры «Скайрим» под названием Dawnguard вы познакомитесь с интересным персонажем - древней вампиршей по имени Серана. Несмотря на свой более чем внушительный возраст, девушка выглядит очень привлекательно. Более того, она умна и саркастична, остроумна и интересна. Так что многие игроки начинают размышлять о том, можно ли жениться на Серане в «Скайриме». Ответ на этот вопрос вы найдете в нашем небольшом гайде по этому дополнению.
Поиск вампирши
Где найти Серану в «Скайриме»? Для того чтобы повстречать этого персонажа в игре, прежде всего необходимо установить DLC Dawnguard. После этого вам станет доступно новое приключение, в котором вы познакомитесь с этой девушкой. Прежде чем узнать, как жениться на Серане в «Скайриме», давайте попробуем с ней познакомиться.
Для начала необходимо послушать разговоры стражников, которые расскажут о возрождении «Стражи рассвета». После этого запустится одноименный квест, в прохождении которого вам предстоит узнать немало секретов из жизни монстров и борцов с ними в игре Skyrim. Серана - знаковый персонаж, с ней вам придется проделать немалый путь для того, чтобы решить судьбу человечества и вампиров.
Преимущества персонажа
Эта девушка и сама не прочь попить человеческой крови, но считает, что вампиры не должны использовать людей лишь как пищевой ресурс. Впервые вы встретите этого персонажа в склепе, в котором Серана провела несколько сот лет. После этого вас ждет немало совместных приключений, в процессе прохождения которых вы не раз задумаетесь над тем, как жениться на Серане в «Скайриме». Ведь эта девушка является идеальным компаньоном.
В отличие от других напарников Серана довольно умна и может самостоятельно принимать некоторые решения. Кроме того, она сильна, вынослива и способна использовать не только топоры, посохи или мечи, но и магию. Но помните, что давать двуручное оружие или щит девушке крайне не рекомендуется, ведь в этом случае будут заняты обе ее руки и она не сможет применить магические заклинания.
Красота и бессмертие
Девушка обладает чувством юмора и способна «едким» комментарием развеять скуку во время длительного путешествия. Ну и, конечно, она довольно красива. Ее привлекательность играет не последнюю роль в том, что многие игроки задумываются: можно ли жениться на Серане в «Скайриме»? Кроме того, эта девушка единственный возможный бессмертный напарник. Вы не потеряете ее даже в самом трудном и опасном приключении, и для этого не понадобится применять заклинание «Исцеляющие руки». Ведь этот персонаж сам может наложить на себя излечивающие заклятье, и вам не придется переживать о «выживаемости» такого напарника, как Серана.
Скайрим: моды на женитьбу
Такие положительные характеристики не смогли не сказаться на отношении геймеров к этой девушке. И, конечно, многие из них призадумались, как жениться на Серане в «Скайриме». Без модов это сделать нереально. Дело в том, что разработчики не предусмотрели такой поворот событий. И в официальной версии игры вы не сможете сочетаться браком с этим персонажем. Непонятно, чем руководствовалась компания Bethesda Softworks, принимая подобное решение. И даже многочисленные петиции и жалобы игроков не смогли повлиять на ситуацию. Но не стоит огорчаться, ведь «народные умельцы» давно придумали, как жениться на Серане в «Скайриме» и создали немало модов и дополнений, позволяющих сделать это.
Установка плагинов
Прежде всего, вам потребуется скачать и установить дополнительный мод. Помните, что сторонние программы могут принести немало проблем, так что перед процессом изучите информацию об этом контенте и почитайте отзывы игроков. Если в комментариях не было негатива, то можно устанавливать мод. Такой подход позволит свести риск к минимуму. После установки необходимо распаковать архив в главную папку игры и, возможно, заменить некоторые файлы - инструкцию вы найдете в самой модификации.
Подготовка к «свадьбе» в Skyrim
Серана после установки дополнительных модов станет возможным спутником жизни. Но это не значит, что дело сделано. Ведь для того, чтобы «завоевать» сердце девушки, придется немного потрудиться. Прежде всего, если вы уже успели жениться на ком-то, то забудьте о свадьбе с Сераной, ведь в игре невозможно двоеженство. Так что вам понадобится аннулировать предыдущий брак.
Сделать это можно при помощи специального чита или мода. Если же ваш герой до сих пор одинок, то ему необходимо достать артефакт «Амулет Мары». Это ожерелье можно достать такими способами:
- Артефакт достанется вам бесплатно после прохождения миссии «Книга любви». Взять это задание можно в городе Рифтене у Дании Балу, обитающей в храме богини Мары.
- «Амулет Мары» можно купить у жрецов этой богини в городе Рифтене, последователя Марамала из форта Греймур, квартирмейстеров Братьев Бури или в «Ривервудском торговце». Такая покупка обойдется в 200 золотых монет.
- Артефакт можно случайно найти в сундуках и тайниках квестовых локаций.
Еще несколько условий
Для того чтобы ваши «отношения» с Сераной привели к брачному союзу, необходимо выполнить еще несколько условий. Прежде всего, вам необходимо завершить квест о вампирах и уничтожить отца девушки - лорда Харкона. Кроме того, во время встречи с Валерикой, матерью напарницы, вам необходимо заявить о своих серьезных намереньях.
Также нужно завершить миссию «Родственные связи». Этот квест вы возьмете у Вульфа Дикая кровь, найти которого можно в Солстхейме. В процессе прохождения необходимо отыскать брата главного охотника и вступить с ним в схватку, после этого можно приступать к женитьбе на вашей очаровательной спутнице.
До того момента, как вы закончите все эти дополнительные задания, не стоит говорить с Сераной о женитьбе, ведь это ни к чему не приведет. Более того, перед установкой модификации необходимо временно расстаться со своей спутницей. Не переживайте, вы ее быстро найдете, ведь Серана будет ждать вас в башне Стражей Рассвета или в замке Волкихар, в зависимости от того, чью сторону вы приняли. Если же вы не можете найти спутницу в этих локациях, то воспользуйтесь специальной командой, которая перенесет вас к персонажу. Для этого откройте консоль при помощи клавиши «~». После этого пропишите такую команду: player.moveto xx002b74, где xx - это номер мода в игре. Чаще всего Dawnguard обозначается цифрами 02 или 03. При помощи этого чита вы без труда отыщете девушку в любом уголке «Скайрим», даже если случайно оставили ее ждать в какой-либо локации и забыли об этом.
Дополнительные возможности
Большинство модов, которые позволяют жениться на Серане, добавят в игру несколько новых возможностей, например, изменение диалогов или внешности персонажей. Что касается второго пункта, то здесь фантазия игроков не на шутку разыгралась. Ведь изменить внешность Сераны можно самыми разнообразными способами: от одежды до черт лица и фигуры. В общем, если вас что-то не устраивает во внешности девушки, то вы всегда сможете «переделать» ее по своему усмотрению.
Есть еще несколько бонусов, которые принесет вам женитьба на Серане. После свадьбы вы сможете не только привести супругу в дом, но и вызвать ее в любой момент специальным заклинанием. Но, как и любые другие «домашние» программы, моды от игроков содержат немало багов и ошибок. При этом самая распространенная «неприятность» - это нежелание девушки переезжать из замка в дом мужа. Исправить этот баг можно при помощи консольной команды или переустановки плагина.
На этом наш гайд о том, как жениться на Серане в «Скайриме», подходит к концу. Надеемся, наши советы пригодились вам, и вы смогли заключить брак с этим оригинальным и интересным персонажем.
She can be found at Fort Dawnguard ; if siding with the Volkihar vampires , she can be found at Volkihar Keep . After completing the Dawnguard main questline, she can normally be found at these same two locations, although you will occasionally randomly encounter her in the wilds of Skyrim, where she can be recruited to follow you again.
As long as she is a vampire, she will be immune to all frost-based attacks.
She will frequently, if not always, reanimate corpses, but they later turn into ash piles when their duration ends or if they die. Thus, she is less useful if you plan to renanimate extremely powerful magicians as dead thralls, for example Sild the Warlock , Orchendor , Malkoran , Lu"ah Al-Skaven , Malyn Varen , or the Caller . Outside of this, her necromancy is powerful enough to reanimate non-humanoid entities.
The spells she uses depend on her level. She has a Drain Life spell that gets stronger with higher levels (even if her vampirism is cured). Additionally, in every case she knows the following spells:
| Level | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 12-19 | Raise Zombie | Ice Spike | |
| 20-27 | Reanimate Corpse | Ice Spike | |
| 28-37 | Reanimate Corpse | Ice Spike | Lightning Bolt |
| 38-47 | Revenant | Ice Spike | Lightning Bolt |
| 48-50 | Revenant | Ice Storm | Chain Lightning |
Curing Serana"s Vampirism [ edit ]
Serana after she is cured of vampirism
If you side with the Dawnguard, you can convince Serana to cure her vampirism after her father"s death. This depends on selecting certain conversation options over the course of the questline.
Serana: "I don"t like the look of this place. I"ll wait for you back by the entrance." Serana: "Umm... this is the part where we usually get in the boat. You with me?"She will have a few words for you if you speak to her in front of the castle.
"What now?" This is your home? "This is it. Home sweet... castle." Why didn"t you tell me it was so huge? "I didn"t want you to think I was one of those... you know, the women who just sit in their castle all day? I don"t know. Coming from a place like this, well... it"s not really me. I hope you can believe that." It"s impressive. "It"s something all right."At the gates of Castle Volkihar, she will turn to you for a quick word. This exchange will be different depending on whether or not you"re a vampire.
If you"re not a vampire:
What is it?I know your friends would probably want to kill everything in here. I"m hoping you can show some more control than that. Once we"re inside, just keep quiet for a bit. Let me take the lead. Are you all right?
I know your friends would probably want to kill everything in here. I"m hoping you can show some more control than that. Once we"re inside, just keep quiet for a bit. Let me take the lead." What is it now?
If you are a vampire:
"Hey, so... before we go in there..." What is it? "I wanted to thank you for getting me this far. But after we get in there, I"m going to go my own way for a while. I think...Are you all right? "I think so. And thanks for asking.
I just need to be alone. For a while. There"s a lot of feelings wrapped up in this old place, and I don"t think you"re quite ready for them. So let me take the lead in here." What is it now? "Fine, don"t worry about it. When we get in, you won"t have to babysit me anymore."
Prophet [ edit ]
Dawnguard [ edit ]
Serana will appear at the fort. Speak with her.
"You probably weren"t expecting to see me again." What are you doing here? "I"d rather not be here either, but I needed to talk to you. It"s important, so please just listen before your friend, here, loses his patience. It"s... well, it"s about me. And the Elder Scroll that was buried with me." What about you? "The reason I was down there... and why I had the Elder Scroll. It all comes back to my father. I"m guessing you figured this part out already, but my father"s not exactly a good person. Even by vampire standards. He wasn"t always like that, though. There was... a turn. He stumbled onto this obscure prophecy and just kind of lost himself in it." What sort of prophecy? "It"s pointless and vague, like all prophecies. The part he latched onto said that vampires would no longer need to fear the sun. That"s what he"s after. He wants to control the sun, have vampires control the world." What do you mean... "lost himself"? "He just became absorbed... obsessed. It was kind of sick, actually. The prophecy said that vampires would no longer need to fear the sun. For someone who fancied himself as vampire royalty, that"s pretty seductive. Anyway, my mother and I didn"t feel like inviting a war with all of Tamriel, so we tried to stop him. That"s why I was sealed away with the Scroll." You want us to help you? "That was the plan, yes. Assuming the rest of them can trust a vampire. Come on, I"ll need you to help convince them." What"s all this have to do with the Dawnguard? "I"m sorry, I had heard there were vampire hunters here. I thought they might want to know about a vampire plot to enslave the rest of the world. Was I wrong?" You took a big risk coming here. "I did. But something about you makes me think I can trust you. I hope I"m not wrong." No, you"re right. We just have to convince the others you"re on our side. "Well, let"s move then. I"m nothing if not persuasive."Speaking with her again:
Serana: "So far this hasn"t been too bad. Gets lonely exploring by myself, though."After talking with both Serana and Isran, the two will exchange quips.
Isran: "You hear me? Don"t feel like a guest, because you"re not. You"re a resource. You"re an asset. In the meantime, don"t make me regret my sudden outburst of tolerance and generosity, because if you do, your friend here is going to pay for it." Serana: "Thank you for your kindness. I"ll remember it the next time I"m feeling hungry."Speak with Isran, then talk to Serana again.
"So in case you didn"t notice the giant thing on my back, I have the Elder Scroll with me. Whatever it says, it will have something that can help us stop my father. But of course, neither of us can read it." Who can? "Well, the Moth Priests are the only ones I"ve heard of who can do it. They spend years preparing before they start reading, though. Not that it helps us anyway, because they"re half a continent away in Cyrodiil."After this discussion:
Isran: "Some Imperial scholar arrived in Skyrim a few days ago. I was staking out the road when I saw him pass by. Maybe that"s your Moth Priest." Serana: "Do you know where he"s staying now?" Isran: "No, and I"m not going to waste men looking. We"re fighting a war against your kind, and I intend to win it. You want to find him, try talking to anyone who"d meet a traveler. Innkeepers and carriage drivers in the big cities maybe. But you"re on your own."Speaking to her after this (this section is the same for the Dawnguard and Vampire versions of this quest):
"Any idea how you"re going to find a Moth Priest? Skyrim"s a pretty big place." Where would a Moth Priest actually go? " (?) " Do you have any ideas? "Well, back before I... you know. The College of Winterhold was the first place I"d think to go for any kind of magic or historical thing. The wizards know about all kinds of things that people shouldn"t know about. Actually, now that I think of it... I"m going to come along with you. I"ve been really wanting to get out and explore a bit." What do you know about Elder Scrolls? "I mean... as much as anyone. Not a lot. You"d figure a couple hundred years locked away with one would have given me some insights, but no. Turns out you don"t learn much from just sleeping with something." I guess we"ll have to keep looking for that Moth Priest, then. "I guess so." Are you saying you want to learn more about me? "Not at this rate, no."You can also ask her more about herself.
Were you always a vampire? "That"s... a long story." I want to hear it. "I guess... we kind of have to go way back. To the very beginning. Do you know where vampirism came from?" I don"t know much about it. " (?) " I would guess it came from a daedric lord. "Exactly! The first vampire came from Molag Bal. She... was not a willing subject. But she was still the first. Molag Bal is a powerful daedric lord, and his will is made reality. For those willing to subjugate themselves, he will still bestow the gift, but they must be powerful in their own right before earning his trust." How did you actually become a vampire, then? "The ceremony was... degrading. Let"s not revisit that. But we all took part in it. Not really wholesome family activity, but I guess it"s something you do when you give yourselves to a daedric lord." Do you regret becoming a vampire? "Nobody"s ever asked me that before. I... I don"t know. I think... mostly I hate what it"s done to my family." How has it affected your family? "Well, you"ve met most of us. My father"s not exactly the most stable, and eventually he drove my mother crazy with him. And it all ended with me being locked underground for who knows how long. It"s definitely been a bad thing, on the whole." Are you all right? "I will be. Just give me a little time." It sounds like you weren"t thinking clearly. "I"m not sure it"s really your place to judge me. To judge us. My family has its problems, but they"re our problems. Let"s just... move on from here, okay?" Do you ever think about curing yourself? "A cure? Why even think of it that way? I can"t think of any reason I"d want to lose my gift. Especially after what I did to get it. It may have driven my family apart, but I"m still here, and I"m alive. I won"t give this up." Are you all right? "Don"t... Just leave me alone for a bit." Spare me the details. "The short version is that my parents and I... we were followers of Molag Bal." The daedric princes disgust me. "I know, I know, but just... anyway. Molag Bal is the original source of vampirism, and still grants it to his more worthy followers." I admire your devotion. "Not many people understand the appeal. You keep surprising me. Now, you might already know that Molag Bal is the original source of vampirism. But what you probably don"t know is that he still grants it to his more impressive followers." I"m a follower of Molag Bal, myself. "I have to admit, I"m impressed. I didn"t think you had the spirit for it. Now, you might already know that Molag Bal is the original source of vampirism. But what you probably don"t know is that he still grants it to his more impressive followers.This isn"t that watered down child"s power that you simply contract from another vampire. We"re pureblood creations of original vampires. We earned this."
Vampire [ edit ]
Chasing Echoes [ edit ]
"Do you have a moment to talk?" Can"t it wait? "Well, you could waste a lot of time trying to figure out our next move, or you could let me help. Your choice." What"s on your mind? "That Moth Priest, Dexion. He said we needed two other Elder Scrolls. I think I know where we can start looking."The next response is different depending on whether or not you"re in the Dawnguard.
If you"re in the Dawnguard:
"Half the people in your little crew would just as soon kill me as talk to me. That doesn"t exactly make me want to open up. I got a warmer welcome from my father, and that"s saying something."If you sided with the Volkihar vampires:
Why didn"t you say something earlier? "Didn"t want that lot getting wind of it. Especially my father."Regardless of which side you"re on, the rest of the conversation is the same.
What is it between you two? "Ever since he decided to make that prophecy his calling, we kind of drifted apart." Do you trust Harkon at all? "It"s not a question of trust... he"s just obsessed with the prophecy. And from what I could tell, a thousand extra years of obsession haven"t made him any better. We should have found him a hobby." Does Harkon even care about you anymore? "You know, I"ve asked myself the same thing. I thought... I hoped that if he saw me, he might feel something again. But I guess I don"t really factor in at this point.I don"t think he even sees me as his daughter anymore. I"m just... a means to an end." So where is this Elder Scroll? "We need to find my mother, Valerica. She"ll definitely know where it is, and if we"re lucky, she actually has it herself." You said you didn"t know where she went. "The last time I saw her, she said that she"d go somewhere safe... somewhere that my father would never search. Other than that, she wouldn"t tell me anything. But the way she said it... "someplace he would never search." It was cryptic, yet she called attention to it." Sounds like she was being cautious. "Maybe. What I can"t figure out is why she said it that way." We can"t waste time on cryptic clues. "If you have a better lead than this, I"m all ears." Maybe your mother didn"t trust you, either. "That"s always a possibility. She was almost as obsessed as my father by the time she shut me in. But I can"t worry about that now. We need the scroll, and she"s our only lead.
Besides, I can"t imagine a single place my father would avoid looking. And he"s had all this time, too. Any ideas?" Sealed away like you were? "I don"t think so. She said she wanted to stay awake in case the situation was resolved. It had to be one of us, and, well, she"s so much more powerful than I am. It just made sense for her to be out here. Anything else?"
The following responses are different depending on who you sided with.
If you sided with the Dawnguard:
Hiding with the Dawnguard? "They"d be even less welcoming to her than they"ve been to me. It would have been a bloodbath. And since the Dawnguard are still around, that must not have happened. Any other ideas?" In Castle Volkihar? They aren"t going to let us use the front door. "True. But I know a way we can get to the courtyard without arousing suspicion. There"s an unused inlet on the northern side of the island that was used by the previous owners to bring supplies into the castle. An old escape tunnel from the castle exits there. I think that"s our way in." "It"s around the side of the castle. Let"s move."If you sided with the vampires:
Hiding with the Dawnguard? "I doubt my mother would waste her time with those fools. They probably would have tried to kill her, and that has a way of souring relationships. Any other ideas?" How about right here, in the castle? "Wait... that almost makes sense! There"s a courtyard in the castle. I used to help her tend a garden there. All of the ingredients for our potions came from there. She used to say that my father couldn"t stand the place. Too... peaceful." Isn"t that pretty risky, staying around the castle? "Oh, absolutely. But my mother"s not a coward. That is... I don"t think we"ll actually trip over her there. But it"s worth a look." How can we get in without your father noticing? "Trust me. I lived here for a very long time and I know every nook and cranny.There"s an unused inlet on the northern side of the island that was used by the previous owners to bring supplies into the castle. An old escape tunnel from the castle exits there. I think that"s our way in." Let"s go to the castle"s secret entrance. "Come on. It"s just around the side."
Regardless of who"s side you"re on, this last choice is always the same.
Actually, I have some things to do first. "Don"t let me stand in your way, then. I"ll be at the dock whenever you"re ready."If you speak to her again after saying you have things to do:
"I"m ready if you are."If you speak to her again after agreeing to go to the secret side passage:
"Yes, what did you need?" Any clues about the other Elder Scroll? "Dexion said something about that scroll. What was it... something to do with dragons I think? Maybe we should try asking at the College of Winterhold. Sounds like something they"d know about." Were you and Valerica close? "Before my father became obsessed with the prophecy, mother and I spent quite a bit of time together. She was very fond of her alchemical garden in the castle courtyard. She taught me quite a bit about cultivating quality reagents." So you always got along? "Like the best of friends. I would never hesitate to share anything with her." But then it all changed. "It was very sudden. It was almost like one day we were a normal family, and then the next I didn"t know who they were. I"d try to visit my mother in the garden, and she"d quickly shoo me away saying she was much too busy." That"s why we"re headed there? "She had to be up to something in that garden. I"m hoping it"s a clue that will tell us where she went." Tell me about your family. "There"s not a whole lot to tell. You"ve already seen my father"s obsession. My mother"s not a whole lot better, but you"ll see that soon enough." Were you close with them? "My father... no, not really. I did spend a lot of time with my mother, but she saw me more like a protege than a daughter." It sounds like you don"t like either of them very much. "It"s not that simple. I guess it never is with families, is it?What about you? What were your parents like?" They were good people. I miss them. "Oh, I"m sorry. Didn"t mean to bring up a bad memory." We should keep moving. "Right behind you." It"s fine. "Let"s... uh... let"s just keep going." We"re very close. I can"t wait to see them again. "You"re a good son/daughter." We should keep moving. "Right behind you." I try. "Yeah. Let"s... uh... let"s just keep going." We didn"t really get along. Best that I haven"t seen them in a while. "That"s too bad. Do you know how they"re doing now?" Nobody hears from them much anymore. "Oh. I... I see. Let"s... uh... let"s just keep going." No, but we"re all better off this way. "That makes sense. Let"s... uh... let"s just keep going." I never knew them. I grew up alone. "I know how that feels. I mean... I know it isn"t the same thing. But I was a pretty lonely child, myself." Do you still feel lonely? "Not as much. Let"s... uh... let"s just keep going." That"s too bad. "It is. Let"s... uh... let"s just keep going." Serana: "I can"t wait to see the courtyard again."
She will make some comments as you make your way to the courtyard.
Serana: "Yeah, just around this bend." Serana: "Castle looks so big from down here. I mean, it is big, but, well, even bigger." Serana: "The old water cistern. On some days, this would smell just... be glad you weren"t here then." Serana: "Take the left up here. This is one of those weird double-barred security measures that my father put in when he got more paranoid. If we follow that path around, we can find the other switch." Serana: "This leads out to the courtyard. Just head for the door."Speaking to her in the ruins:
She will have more commentary when you reach the courtyard.
Serana: "We"ve mad it to the courtyard. Oh no... What happened to this place? Everything"s been torn down... the whole place looks... well, dead. It"s like we"re the first to set foot here in centuries. This used to lead into the castle"s great hall. It looks like my father had it sealed up. I used to walk through here after evening meals. It was beautiful, once. This was my mother"s garden. It... do you know how beautiful something can be when it"s tended by a master for hundreds of years? She would have hated to see it like this. Wait... Something"s wrong with the moondial here. Some of the crests are missing and the dial is askew. I didn"t even know the crests could be removed. Maybe my mother"s trying to tell us something?" Serana: "I"m telling you, there"s something strange with the moondial." Serana: "If we had the crests, we wouldn"t have to keep hanging around this lovely place."Speaking to her in the courtyard:
What"s so special about the moondial? "Well, as far as I"m aware it"s the only one in existence. The previous owners of the castle had a sundial in the courtyard, and obviously that didn"t appeal to my mother. She persuaded an elven artisan to make some improvements. You can see the plates that show the phases of the moons, Masser and Secunda." Does it work? "That"s the thing... what"s the point of a moondial? I always wondered why she didn"t just have the whole thing ripped out. But she loved it. I don"t know. I guess it"s like having a piece of art, if you"re into that sort of thing." So what exactly am I doing to it? "Hard to say. Maybe if we found the missing crests, we could figure it out." What happened to the castle courtyard? "If I had to guess, I"d say the moment mother fled the castle, father went on a rampage. Knowing him, anything at all that reminded him of her was just destroyed." Then he just walled it off. "It appears that way. I suppose he wanted to put the past behind him. Perhaps if he had spent more time with us, he would have recognized the beauty for himself." Serana: "Look around for the missing crests. Even in this mess, they should stick out."After placing the crests:
Serana: "Very clever, mother. Very clever. I"ve never been in those tunnels before, but I"d bet they run right under the courtyard and into the tower ruins. Well, at least we"re getting closer. Let"s go."Inside the ruins:
Serana: "I"ve never even seen this part of the castle before. Be careful. I don"t know what might be around."You can speak to her here.
"We"re getting close, I"m sure of it." Do you know this place? "I had always just assumed that the other tower was completely destroyed inside. My mother kept this a secret, even from me. She must have been up to something she thought was dangerous."After you encounter a gargoyle, you can ask her another question:
Did your mother keep gargoyles here? "Not that I ever saw. My mother had a bit of a thing for magical constructs. Not... not what you"re thinking. She just found them fascinating." Serana: "Turns out my mother is sneakier than I thought. I wonder what she"s hiding?"In the gargoyle room:
Serana: "I don"t think we"ve reached the top yet. I"d bet there"s some kind of secret passage around here." Serana: "Leave it to my mother... always smarter than I gave her credit for."When you find Valerica"s Study:
Serana: "Look at this place. This has to be it! I knew she was deep into necromancy. I mean, she taught me everything I know. But I had no idea she had a setup like this. Look at all this. She must have spent years collecting these components. And what"s this thing? I"m not sure about this circle, but it"s obviously... something." Serana: "Let"s take a look around. There has to be something here that tells us where she"s gone."Speaking to her:
What exactly are we looking for? "My mother was meticulous about her research. If we can find her notes, there might be some hints in there." Your mother maintained quite a laboratory. "I had no idea that her laboratory even existed. She had an alchemy setup in her drawing room, but nothing that even comes close to what"s here."" What did she research? "Looking at the equipment and materials, it looks like she was trying to advance her necromancy." To what end? "I don"t know. Certainly not longevity. Kind of a waste of time for a vampire." Serana: "I remember she used to keep a small journal. See if you can dig it up."After finding Valerica"s journal.
"Any luck yet?" I"ve found your mother"s notes. "You did? Let me see them." What"s this "Soul Cairn" that she mentions? "I only know what she told me. She had a theory about soul gems. That the souls inside of them don"t just vanish when they"re used... they end up in the Soul Cairn." Why did she care where used souls went? "The Soul Cairn is home to very powerful beings. Necromancers send them souls, and receive powers of their own in return. My mother spent a lot of time trying to contact them directly, to travel to the Soul Cairn itself." If she made it there, we"ll find her. "That circle in the center of the room is definitely some type of portal. If I"m reading this right, there"s a formula here that should give us safe passage into the Soul Cairn." What do we need? "A handful of soul gem shards, some finely-ground bone meal, a good bit of purified void salts... Oh... damn it..." What"s wrong? "We"re also going to need a sample of her blood. Which... if we could get that, we wouldn"t even be trying to do this in the first place." You share her blood. "Hmmm. Not bad. We"d better hope that"s good enough. Mistakes with these kind of portals can be... gruesome. Anyway, enough of that. Let"s get started." Are all of those ingredients here? "Oh, definitely. Mother would have plenty of those materials in her laboratory, you just need to find them."You can talk to her more after this exchange.
"Having trouble finding those ingredients?" Anything you can tell me about the Soul Cairn? "The Soul Cairn is a tiny sliver of Oblivion, the realm of the daedra. It"s ruled by unseen beings known as the Ideal Masters." Why was your mother so fascinated by it? "Honestly, I don"t know. Necromancers are always interested in souls, though, so that probably has some kind of interest." What exactly are the Ideal Masters? "Nobody really knows. As far as I"ve heard, no one"s seen them and returned to Tamriel to tell about it." Then how are you sure they even exist? "I"ve read stories. Stories about fools that managed to... communicate with them. You give the Ideal Masters souls, they give you powers to summon the undead. It"s all very business-like." Fools? Why do you say that? "Because most of the stories end with the Ideal Masters duping the necromancers, who end up dead or wishing they were dead." Serana: "They shouldn"t be that hard to find. Shelves, tables... should be easy to find. She wouldn"t have hidden them."After collecting the ingredients:
Serana: "Get the ingredients in the vessel and let me know when you"re ready." Serana: "Just get all the ingredients into the vessel."You can speak to her again after placing the ingredients.
"Then the rest is up to me. Are you ready to go? I"m not entirely sure what this thing is going to do when I add my blood." I have some preparations to make, first. "I"ll be here. Don"t take too long, now!" I"m ready. "Okay, here goes." Can I ask you something first? "Of course. What is it?" What will you do if we find your mother? "I"ve been asking myself the same thing since we came back to the castle. She was so sure of what we did to my father, I couldn"t help but go along with her. I never thought of the cost." I don"t know what she was thinking. "Neither do I. She always seemed happy, before we heard the prophecy. Then it all changed. She became a different person. They both did." It sounds like she was pretty selfish. "She wasn"t, always. But I think you"re right. She was practically smirking as we left home. Almost like she was proud of herself. Like she didn"t want to just stop my father... she wanted to stick it to him, too." We won"t know until we find her. "Yes... yes, you"re right. I"m sorry. I just didn"t expect anyone to care how I felt about her. Thank you. Are we ready then?" Let"s get that portal open. "All right. Here goes."When the portal opens:
Serana: "By the blood of my ancestors... She actually did it... created a portal to the Soul Cairn. Incredible." Serana: "Incredible. Simply incredible." Serana: "I"m ready when you are."You should then be able to enter the Soul Cairn, but there"s a catch. Serana can go in with no problem. You , however, can"t go in just yet if you"re not a vampire. If you attempt to enter the portal, the following conversation will occur.
"Are you alright? That looked painful." It was. What happened? "Now that I think about it... I should have expected that. Sorry. It"s hard to describe. The Soul Cairn is... well, hungry, for lack of a better word. It"s trying to take your life essence as payment." So there"s no way in, then. "There might be, but I don"t think you"re going to like it. Vampires aren"t counted among the living. I could probably go through there without a problem." Are you saying that I need to become a vampire? "Not your first choice, I"d guess." There has to be another way. "Maybe. We could just "pay the toll" another way. It wants a soul, so we give it a soul. Yours." Wouldn"t that kill me? "My mother taught me a trick or two. I could partially soul trap you, and offer that gem to the Ideal Masters. It might be enough to satisfy them. It would make you a bit weaker when we travel through the Soul Cairn, but we might be able to fix that once we"re inside. Maybe." Those are my only options? "I"m sorry. I wish I knew a better way, something that would be easier for you. Just know that... whatever path you choose, I won"t think any less of you. Sometimes things just have to be done. I know that better than anybody."Approaching her for the decision:
"Have you made up your mind?" I don"t see another way. I"ll become a vampire. "Are you sure? I"m willing to turn you, but you need to think it through. You"d become the very thing you"ve sworn to destroy. I don"t know how the Dawnguard will react." I"m ready. "Turning someone is a very... personal thing for vampires. It"s intimate. For us. I don"t want you to feel like I"m forcing you into this." In that case, I"m glad you"re the one doing it. "Let"s not waste too much time, then." I understand. "Good." Let"s just get it over with. "As you wish." Serana: Soul trap me. I won"t feel right as a vampire. "Are you sure? I"m willing to do it, but you need to think it through. You"ll remain mortal, but you"ll find yourself weakened within the Soul Cairn." You"re right. Let me think about it. "I understand. Take your time." I"m ready. "I know this is difficult for you. I hope you trust me. I"d never do anything that could hurt you." I trust you completely. "Thank you. Let"s not waste any more time then." Don"t worry about it. "Oh. Good." Let"s just get this over with. "As you wish." Serana: "I promise to try and make this as painless as possible. Hold still."Beyond Death [ edit ]
Inside the Soul Cairn:
Serana: "I"d heard stories about the Soul Cairn, but never thought I"d see it myself. So far it"s... about what I imagined." Serana: "Let"s go. My mother must be waiting on the other side of that thing." Serana: "Look at this place. I can"t imagine choosing to come here. My mother must have been terrified." Serana: "You"d think a vampire would be right at home in this place. You"d be wrong. Let"s just find my mother and get out of here, quickly."Speaking to her:
Do you know anything about this place? "Just what my mother told me. I"ve also studied a little bit on my own, but there"s not much. When something is trapped in a soul gem, and then the energy is used for powering an enchantment, the remnants are sent here." Any soul gem? "Well, I think it"s specifically the black ones. I don"t know if the Soul Cairn takes just any leftovers." Does anything live here? "Look at this place. Do you think anything would want to live here? The only things that can survive here are the Ideal Masters, the undead and the souls themselves. Well, if you want to call that "living."" Do you think we"ll meet the Ideal Masters? "I don"t think anyone"s ever met the Ideal Masters. I"m not even sure anyone knows what they look like. They could be underground, flying above us... They might be the ground. I have no idea." Why are they collecting these souls? "Lots of theories. Some say they feed on them like I feed on blood. Others think they use them as payment to an even higher power... almost like a currency. A very strange currency. Whatever they"re doing with them, they"ve been harvesting for millennia. No telling how many souls are trapped here." Why would a necromancer want to deal with them? "Look around you. There are some extremely powerful undead here. Even a necromancers as seasoned as my mother would be willing to spend years trying to gain access to them." Summon them you mean? "Exactly. It"s a lost art. Most necromancers just raise up whatever bodies are nearby. A simple trick, really. Child"s play. But bringing something from the Soul Cairn gives you something much more powerful." How do the necromancers communicate with them? "Well, that"s usually the trick. It"s possible to do it through a simple portal. But to finalize the deal, you have to travel here yourself... and most of them never come back." Are you sure Valerica has the Elder Scroll? "No, but there"s no way she would have left it in Tamriel. She wanted to get it as far away from my father as possible. I can"t imagine a better place." And if she doesn"t? "Then we find out where she hid it. If she"s still alive... well, as alive as she was before. Or is now. Or... you know what I mean." Why not hide it in the Soul Cairn and then return? "Probably to avoid whatever my father would do to her if he could get his hands on her. Or maybe her plan was to come back, but she was stuck here. We won"t know until we find her."When you approach Valerica"s prison, Serana will see her.
Serana: "Mother? Mother!" Valerica: "Maker... it can"t be. Serana?" Serana: "Is it really you? I can"t believe it! How do we get inside? We have to talk." Valerica: "Serana? What are you doing here? Where"s your father?" Serana: "He doesn"t know we"re here. I don"t have time to explain." Valerica: "I must have failed. Harkon"s found a way to decipher the prophecy, hasn"t he." Serana: "No, you"ve got it all wrong. We"re here to complete the prophecy our way, not his." Valerica: "Wait a moment... you"ve brought a stranger here? Have you lost your mind?" Serana: "No, you don"t..." Valerica: "You. Come forward. I would speak with you."After speaking with Valerica, she turns to speak to Serana.
Valerica: "This stranger may call himself/herself vampire, but he knows nothing of our struggle, Why should I entrust you to him/her?" Serana: "This "stranger" has done more for me in the brief time I"ve known him/her than you"ve done in centuries!" Valerica: "How dare you! I gave up everything I cared about to protect you from that fanatic you call a father!" Serana: "Yes, he"s a fanatic... he"s changed. But he"s still my father. Why can"t you understand how that makes me feel?" Valerica: "Oh, Serana. If you"d only open your eyes. The moment your father discovers your role in the prophecy, that he needs your blood, you"d be in terrible danger." Serana: "So to protect me you decided to shut me away from everything I cared about? You never asked me if hiding me in that tomb was the best course of action, you just expected me to follow you blindly. Both of you were obsessed with your own paths. Your motivations might have been different, but in the end, I"m still just a pawn to you, too. I want us to be a family again. But I don"t know if we can ever have that. Maybe we don"t deserve that kind of happiness. Maybe it isn"t for us. But we have to stop him. Before he goes too far. And to do that, we need the Elder Scroll." Valerica: "I"m sorry, Serana. I didn"t know... I didn"t see. I"ve allowed my hatred of your father to enstrange us for too long. Forgive me. If you want the Elder Scroll, it"s yours."After speaking with Valerica, you can talk to Serana again.
"Let"s kill those... Keeper things and get back to the prison." "I can"t believe we found my mother alive... well, you know what I mean." "I"m glad you"re here. I don"t think I could be doing this alone." How are you feeling after talking to your mother? "Relieved... I think. All those things had been building for a while. You have no idea how long I wanted to say that to her." Why did you ever agree to her plan? "Look, I loved my father, but when he found that prophecy... that became his life. Everything else, even me and my mother... we just became clutter. I was close with my mother, but she just kept feeding me her opinions of him, and eventually I started believing them." She doesn"t seem too fond of him. "The moment we gave ourselves to Molag Bal, things got really icy between them. They were both drunk with power, and pulling in different directions. Then he found that prophecy, and... that was it." It sounds like you already didn"t like him much. "Like I said, we were never very close. Not a lot of father-daughter bonding if you know what I mean. But once we threw our lot in with Molag Bal... people just don"t think about their families anymore. "Power takes precedence," he always said." And you were caught in the middle. "I was. Honestly, it took me up until now to figure out that my mother was really just as bad as he was. He was obsessed with power. She was obsessed with seeing him fail. It was just so... toxic. Maybe I could have seen this coming. We could all be better off now." You shouldn"t blame yourself. "I know that in my head. But I just can"t help feeling bad about... the way things are. Sorry, I know you"re trying to help. Thanks." It probably didn"t have anything to do with you. "That"s easy to say, but I definitely didn"t help things." It sounds like they were both being selfish. "Oh, they definitely were. I just wonder if that meant it was my job to be giving.Anyway, we should keep moving."
After killing the Keepers:
Serana: "The barrier should be gone now. Let"s head back."After entering the prison, Serana will notice something is off.
Serana: "Wait... I hear something!" Valerica: "It"s Durnehviir... he"s here! Defend yourselves!" Serana: "Come on, she"s leading us to the scroll."After talking with Valerica:
Serana: "Come on, let"s go home." Serana: "The sooner we get the scroll home, the sooner we deal with my father." Serana: "I"m glad we found the scroll, but I... I wish she could come with us."Unseen Visions [ edit ]
Dawnguard [ edit ]
"Yes?" Does it bother you that we"re working against your father? "I can"t say it surprises me. I kind of figured we were heading for this some day. I just didn"t know when." Will it be hard for you if we have to kill him? "If? I"ve been assuming that"s where all this is going. I"ve been trying to make my peace with it." As long as you"re ready to kill him, that"s all that matters. "You... always say what you think, don"t you? I don"t like him any more than you do. But he is my father. I"m getting there. Making my peace with it.Come on. We can talk about this another time."
Vampire [ edit ]
"Yes?" Does it bother you that we"re working with your father? "I figured it would be more of an issue for you." Why would it matter more to me? "Don"t tell me you"re that naive. Really? Oh, wow. All right, well, what do you think my father"s going to do once we bring the bow to him?" This isn"t going to end well, is it? "No, it"s probably not. I mean, what do you think my father will do when we bring him the bow?" He"ll want to use it. "Of course he will. But at that point, he"ll have everything he"s ever wanted." We"ll celebrate our victory. "And I thought my father was the delusional one. At that point, you"ll have given him everything he"s ever wanted.He won"t need either of us anymore." I"ve proven my value to him. "No, you"ve proven your strength to him. Which just makes you a more dangerous rival." You think he"ll try to kill us? "You"ll have shown yourself to be strong, which means you can"t be allowed to just stick around. And I"ll be unnecessary when he has it." So what do we do? "I think you know. We both know what"s going to have to happen once we find the bow. Keep strong, and eyes open. We"re on a different path now." Then we"ll have to take care of him. "Not until we have the bow. But... you"re right. This won"t be easy. But we can handle it."
Inside the grove of the Ancestor Moths:
Serana: "Hmph... not very impressive, is it? If this ends up being a wasted trip, your friend Dexion and I are going to have some words when we get back." Serana: "Wow. Look at this place. No one"s been here in centuries. I doubt there"s any other place like it in Skyrim. It"s beautiful." "What now?" Have you ever seen anything like this? "It"s not like anything else in Skyrim, I can tell you that much. From now or... before. There"s probably groves like this all over Tamriel. Most people just don"t even know what to look for." Serana: "Well, we got the knife... now all we need to do is track down one of those Canticle Trees."After collecting bark from a Canticle Tree:
Serana: "Hope the moths like that bark as much as Dexion said they would."After collecting one swarm of moths:
Serana: "Look at them... they"ve definitely taken a liking to you. And unless I"m seeing things, you"re starting to... glimmer."Speaking to her after collecting one group of moths:
"Yes?" Damn moths! Why are they doing that? "Ha ha. They seem quite taken to you now that you"re carrying some of the tree bark. I guess we should have seen this coming... Moth Priests, moths... they"re apparently related in some way. Couldn"t hurt to gather more I suppose." How many more? "Well, unless my vision"s playing tricks, there seems to be some sort of magical effect around you. Seems like we"re on the right track. Otherwise, I don"t have the faintest idea."After collecting seven swarms of moths:
Serana: "Woah! I think that might have been what we were waiting for. Let"s head back up there and see if we can read the scrolls."Speaking to her here:
"Yes?" Now what? "The effect around you looks an awful lot like that huge column of light shining on the dais. Let"s check that out."Speaking to her after reading the Elder Scroll:
"Are you okay? Almost thought I lost you there... you went white as the snow." Don"t worry, I"m fine. "I never trusted those damn scrolls. Who knows what those things could have done to you... just look at Dexion.That felt strange. "I could see it in your eyes. You looked about a thousand leagues away.
What about Ariel"s Bow? Do you know where we can find it?" Never mind that... it worked! "After everything we"ve been through, it had damn well better work.
What about Ariel"s Bow? Do you know where we can find it?" It"s in a place called Darkfall Cave. "Then it"s almost over. We can finally rewrite the prophecy as we see fit. Where is this "Darkfall Cave?"" The scrolls gave me its exact location. "Then let"s get going. I want to get there before my father has a chance to track us down."
Touching the Sky [ edit ]
Inside the Ancestor Glade:
"Yes?" I think we should part ways. "All right. I"ll meet you at Darkfall Cave." What do you know about Auriel"s Bow? "Not much. If you read any history, it shows up from time to time, but it"s a hard thing to track. As far as I know, though, it"s never been held by a vampire. That would be a new one." What does it have to do with the sun? "Auriel is one of the elven gods. He"s with the rest of them in Aetherius. The way I"ve heard it, the sun represents the connection from our world to theirs. Supposedly, the bow draws its energy from the sun itself, which is why it shows up in that prophecy." What exactly does it do? "That part, I don"t know. Once we have it, hopefully it"ll be obvious."Past the bridge in Darkfall Cave:
Serana: "Something"s not right here. Be careful. I think we may be in for some trouble."Passing the campsite:
Serana: "I wonder what happened to them. These people were... why would anyone want to set up camp here?"Coming upon the wayshrine:
Serana: "I don"t like the look of this..."Kindred Judgment [ edit ]
