Serana mentions that there are some pieces missing. In the center of the courtyard is a moondial with various phases on the moon depicted around it. The courtyard garden lies in a decrepit state and Serana comments that her mother would never have allowed it to fall into such disrepair. Then return to the bridge that will lead to the courtyard. Jump up the pile of bones in the corner, onto the narrow ledge to the right, then onto the area with the chest and skeleton.

Once the lever has been pulled, go through the door, and straight across there will be another platform with a skeleton on the ground. Proceed forward, where the lever is guarded by a giant frostbite spider. To lower the bridge proceed to the left and up the stairs, where there is a semi-hidden adept level chestwith random loot behind the spiderweb on the right. Serana will comment that her father installed various security measures throughout the castle for her own safety. Fighting through the enemies leads to a canal with a raised wooden bridge. Her Journal Fragment gives a little more insight. The undercroft is guarded by Death Houndsarmored skeletons, and a Feral Vampire who has been banished to live here. After defeating the skeletons, proceed into the undercroft. The platform is guarded by several armored skeletons. To get there, the player can either climb over the rocky terrain to the dock or swim round. Serana cannot imagine where this could be, however through some additional dialogue Serana deduces that Valerica is hiding within Castle Volkihar itself.Ĭastle Volkihar can be infiltrated via an unused dock on the north-western side of the island. The last time Serana saw her, she told her she would go someplace safe where Harkon would never find her. She believes her mother, Valericawill know the whereabouts of the Elder Scroll, but she has no idea where she is.

She believes she knows where to start looking for one of the missing Elder Scrolls that Dexion mentioned. Speak to Serana and ask her what's on her mind.
