Once at Fort Dawnguard , talk to Isran, who will gather the rest of the Dawnguard. If you chose to become a vampire in order to gain access to the Soul Cairn , Isran will refuse to speak with you until you have been cured. After a short speech, everyone will head out to Castle Volkihar. Once you arrive there, the Dawnguard, including one armored troll , will start the attack on the castle, beginning with five vampires, a few Gargoyles and one Death hound who defend the outdoor approach to the castle.
When they have been defeated, you will then lead the charge into Castle Volkihar, fighting the remaining vampires and death hound. After all the vampires have been killed, follow Isran to a gated off doorway with a pull chain to the right of it. Pull it to raise the portcullis, then head up the steps and through the doors, where you will find Lord Harkon.
The conversation with Lord Harkon on the Dawnguard side is somewhat different than the conversation on the Vampire side, mainly in the tone of the conversation and in Lord Harkon's dialogue with the player. Instead of insulting the player for their lack of loyalty, Lord Harkon will admit that it was only a matter of time before Serana would one day return with hatred in her heart.
He then questions the player's allegiance to Serana by asking if she and Valerica are next after dealing with him. No matter what dialogue options you choose, Lord Harkon will eventually demand that you give him Auriel's Bow , where you are faced with the same choice.
It might be a good idea to time your assault against Castle Volkihar so that it occurs during the day so you can take advantage of Sunhallowed Arrows used on the sun to help take down the vampires who attack outside.
Fighting Lord Harkon is the same regardless of whether you are a member of the vampires or the Dawnguard. If you are not prepared, Lord Harkon can be a difficult opponent to defeat. If you gave him Auriel's Bow, then you will be at a slight disadvantage. As soon as he exits dialogue with you, Lord Harkon will immediately summon skeletons and gargoyles to kill you, and will continue to do so throughout the fight. However, Serana is quite capable of handling them on her own, which leaves you to focus solely on Lord Harkon.
Lord Harkon will continuously move throughout the room, firing Vampiric Drain at you and will frequently turn into a swarm of bats. As you deplete his health, Lord Harkon will turn into a swarm of bats and will materialize at the altar.
As he hovers over the altar, he will create an impregnable shield of Blood Magic until he regains his health. If you have Auriel's Bow, equip it and fire at the shield, which will destroy it.
Try not to waste Sunhallowed arrows during this fight, as Lord Harkon will do this repeatedly, and any arrow fired from Auriel's Bow will penetrate the shield. I've never sided with Harkon. Whenever I return Serana, knowing Harkon's speech is to come, I always go make myself at home at his dinning table, taking a seat between two vampires. Each time I've noticed that the vampires seem to be welcoming and generally friendly, even though Harkon eventually casts me away.
So, if you join Harkon, there are some usefull people there, yes? Like x 1. Dradin Tribunal Temple Acolyte. You're right of course, yet if everyone felt this way, there would be no crimes against humanity. The differing perspectives exist, justified or not. I'm curious as to where your "child into a woodchipper" example sprung. A reference to something specific, or, random horrible imagery to illustrate a point.
Effective, either way. Bulldog Active Member. Can we use an analogy that is Skyrim related, and not have any relations with the real world? The fact that dragons can successfully overcome their evil and dominating nature by using the way of the voice is proof that other creatures such as vampires can adopt almost the same method to overcome their evil desires.
In fact it is already happening in Cryodill. The order honors its Dual Patrons: Molag Bal the Kin-father, who all vampires owe their existence to; and Clavicus Vile , who they owe for their successes and social stature, and who helps them control their blood craving.
I was aided in battle late one night by a Vampire Mistwalker. It helped me kill a dragon. But there are other things to consider, for example the Companions quests and becoming a werewolf.
Also, becoming a vampire has some drawbacks and may not be suited to your playstyle, so beware. If I go for Volkihar I don't even bother with the Companions, but it can be a bonus to be a werewolf if going for the Dawnguard. I find it immersive to do a RP style play-through, and not doing certain quest lines on a new game keeps the replay value high. Doing everything in a single play-through is often not even possible.
