Destroy the vampire target. Quest Giver: Gunmar Location(s): Radiant City; Radiant Bandit Camp or Warlock Lair ID: DLC1RH04

Quick Walkthrough

1. Speak with Gunmar.
2. Travel to a city to learn of the vampire's whereabouts.
3. Destroy the vampire target at their hideout.
4. Report back to Gunmar.

Detailed Walkthrough

Talk to Gunmar in Fort Dawnguard and he will tell you he needs help tracking down a vampire. He'll send you to a major city, where you must learn the vampire's location from a friend of theirs. Using a persuade, bribe, or intimidate option in dialogue, obtain a letter which reveals their hideout. Travel to the destination, and eliminate the target. Report back to Gunmar for your reward.

Notes

• This quest can be repeated infinitely. After you have destroyed the target vampire, you can be sent to take care of another by taking the quest again.

Bugs

• If the letter directs you to Ansilvund, and Lu'ah is already dead, there will be no boss in the dungeon and no quest marker leading you to a target. ^?
  • The only way to progress the quest is with the console command setstage DLC1RH04 100 .

Quest Stages

Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		<Alias=QuestGiver> has sent me to <Alias=Habitation> where I am to learn the current whereabouts of the <Alias=Vampire>. I will learn this through interrogation of his last known contact <Alias=Friend>, or searching for evidence. Once its location is obtained, I am to destroy the beast in its lair. (Objective is assigned): Find evidence of the vampire's whereabouts
50		<Alias=QuestGiver> has sent me to <Alias=Habitation> where I have learned from <Alias=Friend> the whereabouts of the <Alias=Vampire>. I am now to journey to <Alias=Dungeon> and destroy the beast. (Objective is assigned): Kill the <Alias=Vampire> at <Alias=Dungeon>

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 DLC1RH04 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 DLC1RH04.
