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

Rescue the Moth Priest.

  • 1 of 7: Follow the quest arrow to the nearby Forbears' Holdout location, then enter the cave.
  • 2 of 7: Sneak along the passage until you reach a railing in a huge cave room, then look to the left to find some stairs leading down to an area with a couple of death hounds.
  • 3 of 7: Sneak-shoot the hounds from the top of the stairs, then look for vampire thralls on or near the curving wall that you can see a ways past the railing.
  • 4 of 7: Sneak-shoot them, then use the nearest flaming brazier to help you jump up onto the small rock ledge that's next to it. If you're having trouble jumping onto the brazier, try doing it from the largest of the rocks that are on the ground near it.
  • 5 of 7: From on the ledge, you should be able to target the vampires who are gathered around the large force field that you can see shimmering in the distance. (Note that the Fireball spell is one of the best ranged attacks to use here.) Quicksave before you start, since there's a glitch that may jump you to the "Speak to the Moth Priest" objective while you're doing this. If that happens, quickrestore and try again.
  • 6 of 7: Once they're all dead (or you've given up on sniping them), go down the stairs that lead to the area where the death hounds were, then follow the path around to where you can enter the area past the curving wall.
  • 7 of 7: Look directly west of the large bonfire for a winding staircase that'll get you up to the force field area, where you'll get the next objective.
