Vampires | Factions side quests TES V: Skyrim - Dawnguard Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Ancient Power

After completing The Bloodstone Chalice, Feran Sadri will order you to find a piece of an ancient vampire. If you bring it to him, the effects of the Bloodstone Chalice will last longer. The mission can be repeated up to seven times with different parts of the vampire's body.

Rings of Blood Magic

Feran Sadri from Castle Volhikar will send you out to find two magic rings which boost vampire abilities. You can find them in the marked underground, hidden inside a chest or by the corpse of an enemy. The Ring of the Beast increases the damage dealt with claws as a Vampiric Lord and maximum health, while the Ring of the Erudite increases the regeneration rate and amount of magic.

New Allegiances

Vingalmo will ask you to find a given person and change him/her into a vampire. In order to do it, you will need the Vampiric Seduction power. It can be found in the proper menu after not drinking blood for a couple days. When you're ready, head to the proper town, wait for your victim to be alone and use the spell. Afterwards you need to enter stealth mode, click on your victim and choose to feed.

Amulets of Night Power 

Feran Sadri of Castle Volhikar will send you out to find two magic amulets which boost the abilities of a vampire. They can be found random dungeons, hidden inside a chest or found by the corpse of an enemy. The Amulet of Bats causes the bats that you summon to suck out life from enemies, while the Amulet of the Gargoyle increases the amount of Gargoyles that you can summon.

The Hunt Side

Fura Bloodmouth will order you to assassinate one of the Dawnguard members. In order to do that, find you victim and wait for him/her to be in a secluded place without any witnesses. You can also speak to him/her and convince to follow you. Once the area's clear, kill your victim and head to the vampire to collect your prize. A silent assassination is on a side objective, so don't worry if someone notices you, as you won't fail the mission that way. Eliminating the target is what matters really.

Destroying the Dawnguard

Fura Bloodmouth will introduce you to her plan of storming Fort Dawnguard. Agree and head to the designated spot. The Fort is full of enemies, so be very careful. Try eliminating them one at a time and at best silently without any witnesses. It's also a good idea to use Pacify on some of the enemies. That way you will gain access to items available only for the members of the organization. The Nord named Gunmar will even sell you an armed troll.

Protecting the Bloodline

This mission, received from Garan Marethi, is very simple You need to head to the marked dungeon and kill the Master Vampire there. He will be most probably protected by other weaker vampires, but overall the fight shouldn't cause you a big trouble.

Deceiving the Herd

Feran Sadri will give you a mission of killing a citizen of a given city, so that a big amount of people sees it, and placing an Incriminating Letter by his corpse. Additionally, you will receive more gold for killing someone of high profile and some Potions of Blood if the assassination will be executed while wearing a Dawnguard armor. You will receive the armor at the beginning of the mission, so equip it right away so that you don't forget. As for high profile citizens, they're mostly inn keepers, shop owners or priests. After you manage to kill your victim, quickly place the letter by his body and run from the guards. It's best to avoid killing any other citizens, as that way you will avoid paying a fine.
