The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

Hunting the Monster

  • 1 of 7: Anytime after finishing the "A New Order" main-line quest, ask anyone in Fort Dawnguard what you can do to help, and the game will randomly choose a side quest. If it's this one, go talk to Gunmar to start it.
  • 2 of 7: Make this quest active so you can follow the quest arrow to find the randomly chosen person who has info on the vampire you're hunting.
  • 3 of 7: Talk to the person and say you're looking for a vampire to get persuade, bribe, and intimidate options.
  • 4 of 7: Try the persuade and intimidate options first. If neither one works, either bribe the person or sneakily pickpocket their "Letter from the Vampire" item.
  • 5 of 7: NOTE: Sometimes the letter will be in a container, and you can just take it.
  • 6 of 7: However you do it, you'll then know where the vampire is, so follow the quest arrow to the randomly chosen area and fight your way through it.
  • 7 of 7: After the vampire is killed, return to Fort Dawnguard and report his death to Gunmar to get a random, leveled weapon or apparel item. If you don't like what you get, you can restore the autosave that was made when you entered the fort and try again. Doing that may also alter which randomized quest you get next.
