Lordkurova Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Since I began playing Dawnguard, I've had minimal issues (with the exception of Serana, who goes into the reference pose at random). However, at Chasing Echoes, near the end when you get all the ingredients to open the portal to Soul Cairn, Serana will just stand there after you speak with her (as opposed to putting her blood in the vessel). This prevents you from progressing. I've tried reloading my save, but to no avail. Any ideas? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This prevents you from progressing. I've tried reloading my save, but to no avail. Any ideas? :confused: I've been trying to figure this one out for a while and I've found a 'work around'. This isn't the best way for the immersion of the story, but it works. Perform all the tasks required to open the Cairn - gather the ingredients, talk to Serana and then she just stands there. Now, open the console and toggle your collision (tcl). Then walk down through the floor where the circle is and you'll see the portal to the Cairn. Enter and both you and Serana should be teleported. I know it's not the best option if you're really into immersion, but it gets you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordkurova Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Immersion be damned if it stops my progress. Thanks for the tip. I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerish Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) When this happens, open your console and enter: setstage dlc1vq04 80 This will trigger Complete: Talk to Serana, and she'll put her blood in the bowl and the portal will open. Sorry about the late response, but I literally just figured this out, myself. Hope it helps anyone else looking to resolve the above problem.

kingbookoo Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 If you have the AFT mod reset it and it will fix the quest. AFT is why it is bugged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
