New primary objective: Examine the garden in Castle Volhikar

Start off by speaking to Serana and head through the castle gate.

Go around the building from the north and you will reach a small harbour, where a group of vampires will attack you. You need to defeat them and enter the castle through the nearby door. That way you will reach Volkihar Undercroft.

Inside the underground, find stairs leading onto the upper level. There you will find a lever which lowers the wooden bridge below on the right. Get onto it and turn left.

Keep going forward while fighting the enemies you come across and you will reach another lever. It will lower the next part of the bridge. On the other side you will find a door leading to the castle gardens.

New primary objective: Repair the moondial

In the very middle you should note a big moondial which is missing a few crystals. You need to find them and put them back in place.

The first one can be found in the bushes behind the fence (to the right of the dial).

The second is on a terrace above the previous part.

The third has been thrown into the garden pond.

After collecting all of them, place them in free spots around the hand. That way you will unlock a staircase leading to the ruined tower.

New primary objective: Investigate the ruined tower

After heading inside, pull the chain to unlock a further passage.

The corridor will leady you to a banquet hall, where you will be attacked by a group of skeletons. Quickly defeat all of them and use the stairs on the right.

Keep heading onwards while killing the enemies you come across and eventually you will reach a second room with wooden tables.
