AmorousAdventures Complete Serana Guide
AmorousAdventures Complete Serana Guide
INTRODUCTION
=============================================================
The Serana Quest Line depends heavily on the player hitting all the conversation
beats with Serana all the way through Dawnguard.
This guide is intended to ensure you hit those beats, and to offer solutions to
common problems.
The Serana Amorous Quest is designed to run along with a Dawnguard Playthrough.
Because it runs along side the events in Dawnguard, the Amorous Adventures quest
events must occur at the right points in Dawnguard to move the Amorous quest
forward.
Amorous Adventures pretty much depends on the player being mindful of Serana and
hitting every conversation beat.
=============================================================
COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS
=============================================================
1. Control Serana.
2. Control Valerica.
3. Edit, overwrite or manipulate the base forms of Dawnguard.
4. Change how Dawnguard runs.
5. Try to "fix" Dawnguard.
6. Interfere with Dawnguard.
Serana and Dawnguard are both buggy all on their own. If you hit an issue with
something in Dawnguard - Google it. It's an issue with Dawnguard.
Further, other Mods may potentially interfere with Serana or Valerica or Dawnguard
quests - be aware of known issues with any Mods you run.
What you get with Amorous Adventures is Dialogue topics that add some flavor to the
journey.
And, like all Amorous Quests, they are designed as completely separate Quests and
not attached to the game's base forms.
Following Dawnguard, Amorous Adventures offers a unique quest with Serana called
"Serana and the Mark of Dibella" which continues her romance.

STEP ONE: An Exquisite Corpse
=============================================================
---| PROBLEMS:
1. You can ONLY get this quest upon awakening Serana from Dimhollow Crypt in
Vanilla Dawnguard.
2. This Quest cannot be gotten if you use a Mod that skips Dimhollow Crypt and puts
Serana at Castle Volkahar.
3. The opening conversation is long and has multiple actions. Keep talking to
Serana until she's out of things to say.
6. You have a limited window to complete all the opening conversation and move the
quest forward. Failure to complete the conversation will strand the quest.
7. You must speak to Serana at the boat to Castle Volkahar. Do not miss speaking to
her at the boat.
STAGE 40 - (Kicks the next quest "Our Love Runs Red" to start)
- Move to stage 200
It is what shows objectives in your Journal but it is NOT the quest presenting the
dialogue.
The REAL quests that are setting the Quest Objectives and Setting Stage on "Our
Love Runs Red" are unmarked or hidden quests.
If you are going to try and Set Stage to advance past an issue, you must know where
you are in Dawnguard and do it on the Amorous Quests below.
=============================================================
STEP TWO: Amorous Serana: Prophet
=============================================================
STAGE 20: Speak to Serana after discovering the location of the Moth Priest
- NOTE: A Bite and a Kiss between Player and Serana happens here.
STAGE 200:
- Quest complete.
---| PROBLEMS:
1. You have to hit the dialogue beats. Talk to Serana when it says to, above.
2. IF you are going to set stage through this, and you want the quest objectives in
Our Love Runs Red marked, then set the stages listed that update "Our Love Runs
Red".
3. IF you are going to set more than one stage in a row, set stage, exit the
console and let the game catch up. Then do the next.
4. IF you are setting stage through this, STAGE 40 is Critical! And stop there!
=============================================================
STEP THREE: Amorous Serana: Chasing Echoes

You will talk to Serana A LOT. Talk to her until she runs out of topics.

2. IF you are going to set stage through this, and you want the quest objectives in
Our Love Runs Red marked, then set the stages listed that update "Our Love Runs
Red".
3. IF you are going to set more than one stage in a row, set stage, exit the
console and let the game catch up. Then do the next.
4. IF you are setting stage through this, STAGE 60 is Critical! And stop there!
=============================================================
STEP FOUR: Amorous Serana: Beyond Death
=============================================================
Depending on your view of Valerica you will either be hot for her or hot to get
away from her.
Either way, talk to her until she runs out of things to say!
The scripted events in the Soul Cairn are buggy. That is a problem with the base
game. Google problems. Again, all this Mod does is provide dialogue.
STAGE 5: Speak to Valerica when you meet behind the force bubble her.
- You can talk to her at length after her big vanilla game scene with Serana
STAGE 10: Speak to Valerica in the courtyard after freeing her / defeating the
dragon / getting the Elder Scroll
STAGE 20: (this is a Scene Stage) Serana and Valerica argue over the player
- Serana will Force Greet the player at the end of the scene.
STAGE 200:
- Quest complete.
---| PROBLEMS:
1. You have to hit the dialogue beats. Talk to Serana when it says to, above.
2. IF you are going to set stage through this, and you want the quest objectives in
Our Love Runs Red marked, then set the stages listed that update "Our Love Runs
Red".
3. IF you are going to set more than one stage in a row, set stage, exit the
console and let the game catch up. Then do the next.
4. IF you are setting stage through this, STAGE 70 is Critical! And stop there!
5. The scripted events in the Soul Cairn are buggy. That is a problem with the
base game. Google problems!
=============================================================
STEP FIVE: Amorous Serana: Unseen Visions
=============================================================
STAGE 200:
- Quest complete.
---| PROBLEMS:
1. You have to hit the dialogue beats. Talk to Serana when it says to, above.
2. IF you are setting stage through this, STAGE 10 is Critical! And stop there!
=============================================================
STEP SIX: Burning from the Inside
=============================================================
At this point the Serana Amorous Quest is no longer following any progress in
Dawnguard. It no longer cares.
This starts a unique series of interactions between Serana and the player which can
only occur after time passes.
The quest is on a timer and the ONLY way through this is by letting time pass.
That's Game Time.
If you are in a big hurry, go some place like your player home and sleep 24 game
hours after each interaction. Then talk to Serana again.
If you finished Dawnguard and don't want to replay it to get Serana's full tale and
want to get Serana marked as a Lover then kick this quest at the console.
