The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim Dawnguard Walkthrough

Touching the Sky

Bortina stumbles on Darkfall Cave and makes friends with a Falmer paladin.

00:03 - I fast traveled from the Orc outpost Mor Khazgur between Solitude and Markarth. The cave was just a short hike away.

00:45 - I stopped to mine some ore.

01:14 - The bridge broke and the current below swept me along.

02:18 - A nice little campsite to rest. I mostly just looted the place.

03:36 - The Knight-Paladin Gelebor will give me the bow if I slay his old snow elf ally.

10:15 - Well I shouldn't have sprung that trap. Didn't seem to hit that hard, though.

11:30 - The Falmer Nightprowler hits damn hard.

Part 2

Bortina makes her way through the Falmer cave and locations some strange vale animals.

00:06 - Time to switch out of these shoddy Archmage robes and back into stronger armor.

00:25 - It's a trap! Get away quickly or you'll take heavy damage.

01:07 - Once again the Nightprowler hits harder than the other enemies. I murdered his two sidekicks before focusing on the tougher Nightprowler.

03:12 - Almost died here, but fumbling through the potions menu came in handy.

06:04 - I sprung another trap.

07:00 - 15 seconds of forced autosaving.

08:00 - This rope will open the passage.

08:12 - This Vale Sabre Cat seems to be chill about me smashing his face in.

11:25 - Hell yeah, first jug of water.

Part 3

After picking some flowers, Bortina robs a Frost Giant blind.

02:38 - Here is the second of five jugs of water.

05:15 - This Frost Giant could kill me in two hits, but I dance around him with somewhat ease.

07:00 - Past this Paragon Socket is a ton of gems and some stylish armor.

09:53 - Level 46 unlocked! I take Critical Charge as my one-handed perk.

11:42 - More water: the third.

Part 4

It's a two-on-two fight as Bortina and Serana fight a pair of powerful dragons.

02:09 - After a long hike I find the fourth watering hole.

02:56 - Well great, a two dragon fight. I try to concentrate on one at a time, but it isn't that simple.

03:21 - Dragonrend is my shout of choice, but it isn't quite as effective as during the normal game.

03:49 - The dragons got stuck in mid air and other glitches forced me to reload this fight several times.

04:51 - This elixir of Resist Fire protected me from the brunt of the dragons' fire breath.

05:58 - Good old melee damage takes down one dragon.

07:00 - This lone dragon isn't so hard now that his mate is dead.

07:57 - Bountiful treasure! Also a Word of Power: Magicka, Drain Vitality.

10:00 - Another creepy cave...

Part 5

It's a long hike to the final water basin.

01:23 - This cliff is way too narrow. Serana, you take care of these enemies while I have a drink.

02:45 - Another blasted trap to trip.

03:05 - Once again I use trusty ranged summons to fight this Falmer caster.

06:45 - Run, run you maggot!

08:22 - This Falmer homestead is a bit windy, but not that hard to navigate.

11:28 - Bethesda sure does love tripwires.

13:00 - Uh, I'm not in combat...Also where the heck is Serana? Time to wait it out.

Part 6

Bortina confronts a vampire elf and claims the mythic Auriel's Bow.

00:03 - At last my monopoly on Waterworks and the Electric Company is complete.

01:44 - Taking a Falmer's item will break them free of their icy prison.

02:28 - Hey there Vyrthur.

05:15 - Double Flame Atronachs to combat an Ancient Frost Atronach.

06:21 - Time to slay another dirty elf.

10:30 - The bow is finally mine!

11:20 - Let's head back to the Scooby Gang to get some aid.

Kurtis Seid is a sadomasochist for games. He’s clocked over 200 days in a Final Fantasy entry but isn’t sure if he’s actually a fan of the series. His ideal game would somehow involve the harshest elements of King’s Quest, Team Fortress, River City Ransom, Ogre Battle, and Dark Souls.

i purchased dawngaurd for skyrim and found the entrance and am still being attacked by everyone! I can't fight the whole army! How do I enter just as a vampire? I'm level 11 so it shouldn't be a problem right?  I can't enter any towns either without all the villagers killing me.  Please help!!!

 @Philly1UPer That may be some time as they will probably be releasing expansion packs and what not.  Besides, the DLC may still be DLC and not on a disk.

I was having a great time until I hit an irreversible bug.  SPOILER-at the part of the quest "New Order" where you're supposed to help Gunmar fight a bear in a cave, the bear has not appeared once.  The only thing inside was a troll, so we killed that.  Then the quest arrow was stuck on the ground, and Gunmar kept saying "We have to stop this beast" or something like that.  I triied uninstalling and reinstalling the dlc, to no effect.  So I uninstalled the DLC and tried to load my save without it the extras, and it hasn't worked once, the game keeps freezing before it loads.  Hope there is some kind of fix for this soon.

I'm loving this expansion, having a great time so far. Definitely worth 20$

your able to be a vamp if you choose dawnguard as the female character you spend most of the DLC will be able to bite you if asked

And 6  hours in i'm starting to realize this is not your typical DLC. This thing is worth the price of admission. This is what DLC's should be,

Yes, I'm doing Vampire Hunter first (what a scrub). The Cool kids version of the walkthrough will be up after I've become a master of the Dawnguard.
