Adoris Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Hello everyone! So i'm playing though Dawnguard, sided with the vampires. During the quest Chasing Echoes, i go up to Valerica's lab, do everything necessary to open the portal to the Soul Cairn. Serana bites her hand and pours her blood into the mixture. The portal opens all dramatic like and all. Then i get the quest stage "Enter the Soul Cairn". Great, i am a vampire lord, i can just waltz in, if i understand correctly, but sadly no. I saw in videos, that at the end of the staircase there appears a "To Soul Cairn" message, just like in any other door or portal. But it doesn't appear for me. I can't enter the SC. I tried messing with the quest stages, turning collision off and on and flying all around the castle, but the actual portal is missing. And i can't progress because of it. I tried entering the Soul Cairn by an extremely roundabout way, i progressed my quest stages to the next step, ie "Beyond Death" and teleported to Juib with a "coc" command, but that didn't work. Serana didn't travel with me and Valerica didn't talk to me. So that attempt failed. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? I really don't want to just skip this part of the questline and add the scroll to my inventory, that'd be rather disappointing.Any help will be appreciated!

AffablySociopathic Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 well I really don't know much about how the console works but I'm pretty sure if you can find a way to trigger an individual script or effect via console you should be able to trigger the soul cairns portal script/effect manually in-game but seeing as how I don't have much experience with using the console I have no idea how that would work or even if you can use the console in that manner but if the game editors were practical enough they probablly put the option in there to run scripts manually(for bug testing) although I'm guessing it uses an activation script instead of going the roundabout way of using a magic effect scrip but I can't really be sure without seeing it or myself.
