Dawnguard Faction Quest: Hunting The Monster

Hunting the Monster

Quest Giver: Gunmar. This quest can occur more than once.

Gunmar has learned of a possible vampire, and while he doesn’t know its exact whereabouts, he has information on someone who does. You’re to pay a visit to the beast’s last known contact and “urge” them to reveal the vampire’s location.

Visit the person indicated in your quest log (or the place where they usually reside), and attempt one of the following:

  • Get straight to the point; tell them you’re looking for a vampire. The friend doesn’t know what you’re talking about. Now you can:
  • (Persuade) Ask them to tell you what you need to know.
  • (Bribe) Offer some coin to jog their memory.
  • (Intimidate) Threaten to get rough.
  • (Brawl) Or bring out your fists and actually get rough.
  • One of these options is likely to work. Otherwise, you can:
  • Pickpocket the friend for the information you need, or
  • Search their residence for proof, which is sometimes found in one of their chests.
  • Letter from the Vampire

Locate the lair mentioned in the vampire’s letter, and journey there ready to defeat this foul presence, along with any bandits or warlocks aligned with the monster. Once you kill the Master Vampire, your quest updates.

Quest Conclusion

After the bloody battle, head back to Fort Dawnguard for a meeting with Gunmar. For those who cherish memories of loved ones, their compassion often conceals the beast. But your compassion compels you to destroy it. Good work!

  • Leveled Weapon or Item

Postquest Activities

You may now speak with another resident of Fort Dawnguard and take on a new Faction Quest.
