Quick Walkthrough

2. Kill the Dawnguard leaders at Fort Dawnguard.
3. Return to Garan or Fura.

Detailed Walkthrough

After completing Kindred Judgment, Garan Marethi or Fura Bloodmouth in Volkihar Keep may offer this quest. You will be asked to kill the leaders of the Dawnguard to "avoid an all-out war". Upon nearing Fort Dawnguard in Dayspring Canyon, several Dawnguard members will turn hostile and attack you. Make your way into the fort. It is best to try and kill the leaders as stealthily as possible because in groups they can be difficult to defeat. Isran also uses a powerful spell called Stendarr's Aura that will drain your health if you come into melee range, but only if you are a vampire. Once you have defeated the leaders of the Dawnguard, return to Garan or Fura for your reward. He or she will congratulate you on killing the leaders of the Dawnguard, but comment that the Dawnguard will still remain active even with its leaders dead.

Notes

• All NPCs within Fort Dawnguard must be eliminated in order to complete this mission. There are eight in total: Agmaer, Beleval, Celann, Durak, Florentius Baenius, Gunmar, Isran, and Sorine Jurard.
• It is not required that you kill the Dawnguard members patrolling outside the Fort.
• During this quest, Isran is no longer considered essential and can be killed.
• You can use Calm or Pacify on Sorine Jurard and Florentius Baenius to buy the new Restoration spells and bolts from them. This can be repeated until they are killed.

Bugs

• Both Garan and Fura refer to Fort Dawnguard being in the Reach, when it's actually in the Rift.
  • The Unofficial Dawnguard Patch, version 1.1.3, fixes this bug.
• Isran's "essential" flag might not get removed, meaning he can't be killed.
  • Use the setstage console command to bypass this.

Quest Stages

Destroying the Dawnguard (DLC1RV10)
Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		<Alias=QuestGiver> has sent me to destroy the Dawnguard leaders at Dayspring Canyon. Objective 10: Kill the Dawnguard Leaders

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 DLC1RV10 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 DLC1RV10.
