The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints
Lead Serana to her home.
1 of 11: Talk to Serana about things if you want, then go across the bridge that leads NE.
2 of 11: Sneak up the stairs just past the bridge until the two gargoyle statues ahead turn into live gargoyles, then hit them with as many sneak attacks as you can before they come after you.
3 of 11: After killing them, look over to the right of the stairs you came up to find a ramp that leads up to a large stone structure.
4 of 11: Go through the door in the structure, then move along to reach a large room. Go up the first set of stairs, then turn left and go up some more stairs to find a closed gate. You may also want to look for a spell tome for the new Necromantic Healing spell.
5 of 11: Past the gate, sneak forward until you reach the top of some steps, then look carefully around the large room ahead. There are several skeletons and a draugr overlord lounging around on thrones, and you'll want to sneak-shoot them one or two at a time from the top of the steps.
6 of 11: Look in the NE part of the room for a Word Wall with one word of the new Drain Vitality shout on it. After you get it, go behind the Word Wall to find two magic weapons on an altar.
7 of 11: Go through the door that's at the top of the northern set of stairs, then go up some more stairs. Use the chain that's to the right of the closed gate to open up a passage that leads back outside.
8 of 11: Your next destination is Icewater Jetty, which is a long way west of Solitude.
9 of 11: Move up to the boat at Icewater Jetty and activate it to travel to the Castle Volkihar area. Move forward to discover the castle, then run up to its closed front gate.
10 of 11: After Serana talks to you, wait for the watchman to open the gate, then go past it and enter Volkihar Keep.
11 of 11: Wait until Serana walks into the main hall, then follow her in to get the next objective.
