4. Return to Fort Dawnguard and listen to Isran's speech.

Detailed Walkthrough

After talking to Isran about Serana and the Elder Scroll, he will immediately charge you with finding Gunmar and Sorine Jurard and bringing them back to Fort Dawnguard. The two can be retrieved in any order.

Gunmar and the Bear

When you find Gunmar he initially rants about a dangerous bear that he is chasing. Talking to him reveals that Isran had rejected any help from anyone else in the past. Though convinced to return, he says that the bear has to be defeated first. Entering the cave reveals the bear he speaks of. Once you kill the bear, speak to Gunmar and he will head to Fort Dawnguard.

Possible locations: Bonechill Passage, Bronze Water Cave, Brood Cavern, Clearspring Tarn, Cronvangr Hall, Crystaldrift Cave, Fallowstone Cave, Honeystrand Grove, Horker Island^DB, Northshore Landing^DB, Pinepeak Cavern, White Ridge Barrow^DB

Sorine Jurard and Dwemer Gyros

When you find Sorine Jurard she is reluctant to return to Isran because of his complete dismissal of her theories. Sorine will be found in the Reach. Though surprised by the usage of an Elder Scroll by the vampires, she refuses to help Isran until she has at least one Dwemer Gyro. If your Speech skill level is high enough, you can convince her to forget about the Dwemer Gyro; if it is not, then you must bring her one or find her satchel (near the river) before she will go to Fort Dawnguard.

Isran's Speech

When you return to Fort Dawnguard, Isran will shine a focused beam of sunlight on Sorine and Gunmar, to verify that they are not vampires. If you are a vampire he will send you to Morthal to meet Falion to cure your vampirism. After a long speech about the threat they face, he tells you to follow him to a vampire who asked for you. This will immediately begin the Dawnguard side of the Prophet quest.

Notes

• If there is no quest marker for Gunmar and Dragonborn is installed, the radiant location might be in Solstheim. If so, traveling to Solstheim will result in the marker appearing normally at that location if the quest is active.
• You may randomly encounter a vampire assassin at any point after completing this quest.

Bugs

• If you clear the bear den before talking to Gunmar, he will just stand there telling you to slay the (dead) bear.
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.1.1 of the Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.
• Upon entering the fort, Gunmar and/or Sorine may end up behind the instantly-closing gate, making it impossible to continue the quest.
  • Exiting and re-entering the fort or using the wait function will sometimes fix this and trigger the quest completion.
  • Open the console, click on each NPC and type moveto player one at a time to bring them to your side of the gate.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage DLC1HunterBaseIntro stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest DLC1HunterBaseIntro.
