Dawnguard New Items - Including Cut Vampire Artifacts!

Post » Tue Nov 20, 2012 11:14 am

So, I had an idea. I went on my PC. Saved in the Testing Hall, and transferred the save to my Xbox. Obviously, I couldn't leave the testing hall with my new items, but I was able to find some cool new things. Plus, evidence that the Vampire Hood exists, and several Vampire Amulets and Rings they were never included.

All the pics I took are there. Some things may be known already, but I took pics anyway. I will update this page with some details on some of them, but please comment as you please. Be sure to check out the cut Vampire Artifacts.

* Ancient Falmer Crown - If nowhere else, it is in the Testing Hall!
* Vampire Amulets
-----* Amulet of Mist Form
-----* Amulet of Supernatural Reflexes
-----* Amulet of The Emplath - Night Power will be Empath (???)
-----* Amulet of Bats - Different from the one you get in-game. It makes your Night Power "Bats". Again, no use. It is the base Power.
* Vampire Rings
-----* Ring of Corpse Curse - Night Power will be Rigor Mortis (I guess this is the actual name of the spell cast with Corpse Curse)
-----* Ring of Reanimate Copse - What is the use? Isn't that the starting spell?
-----* Ring of Vampiric Grip
* Vampire Hood! It is just a recolored Cowl. Just like the Vampire Robes, but it does exist.
* Vampire Lord Armor - Looks like an unenchanted Vampire Lord Armor, but it can be worn with any other armor on top of it and does't show up on your character. I think it is Lord Harkon's Vampire Armor (His Vampire Lord form armor), but II
can't test it.
* Test Bolt (Not pictured) - Just a Steel bolt used for testing.
* Staff of Ruunvald - It may be in Ruunvald, but seeing as I joined only the Volkihar Clan, I am not sure.
* Moth Priest Sandals - YES!
* Moth Priest Robes - YES! - They looked Stretched in the pic, but I had to tilt them up to see the name.
* The Sultry Argonian Bard, V1 - I haven't found it in-game yet, but it may be. Haven't read it, yet, but I will.
* Dwarven Haul - Looks like some bandits found some loot. Haven't found it yet in-game.
* Dawnguard Orders - Saliah - I didn't join the Dawnguard, so they might exist.
* Dawnguard Orders - Lynoit
* Dawnguard Orders - Hakar
* Dawnguard Cache Key
* Confessions of a Kajiit Fur Trader - I haven't found it yet - or read it.
* Ancestor Moth Wing - I haven't found it, but has anyone else? It it in the Glade?

I also took pics of the testing hall rooms and maps. For anyone who has PC, you may know what I am talking about. Originally there was only one hall with Arcane Enchanters, Alchemy Labs, and Blacksmith equipment. Go down further and you find all the chests and an odd table. Just after the table where there was a solid wall is now an opening. Go in and to your right is a wooden door. Open it to find an enormous room with only 2 chests in the middle. Those are the Dawnguard Chests. Interstingly, everything in the game is not there. I did not see the Shellbug Helmet or the new Falmer Staffs, and several other things.

Not really. It is not visible on the dragonborn, and any other armor can me equipped along with it. I think it may be the armor that Harkon wears in the Vampire Lord form, but I don't know as I can't get out of the testing hall without console and cannot get the armor without console. If anyone can test this, please do.

Empath - A person with the paranormal ability to apprehend the mental or emotional state of another individual.

Hmm. What could it be? I cannot test it without the Vampire Lord power, which I cannot get without console while I am in this testing hall. I was only able to find the items.

Some of those things, like the two books and Dwarven haul, are in game.

One of my buds got me the crown, and it's pretty snazzy :)

Still! I don't see why they would have to cut some of this stuff.

I kinda figured that some of it was in the game. Like I posted, I haven't found it, but that doesn't mean others have.

How did he get it for you? I mean, I am sure it was through console of pc, but how did he transfer the DLC? If I can figure that out, I can add some of these things onto my main save file and test some of the things I wrote about onmy posts. Like the amulets, rings, and Vampire Lord Armor.

I actually forgot to write this one, but there are also Vampire Boots and Gloves,but they are not armor; they are reskinned clothes just like the Vampire Robes or Hood.

I honestly don't know. I'm assuming he just ported the dlc as well. But he says it makes the game pretty unstable and no quests can be started nor new areas reached.

Hmm. Interesting. I guess you can just add items? Anyway, I will have to look into this. I may be able to try out those things after all.

* Staff of Ruunvald - It may be in Ruunvald, but seeing as I joined only the Volkihar Clan, I am not sure.
On Dawnguard side, when you rescue Florentius Baenius.
* The Sultry Argonian Bard, V1 - I haven't found it in-game yet, but it may be. Haven't read it, yet, but I will.
I have a friend who told me this is in the back area of Fort Dawnguard, with the puzzles you need to open with a crossbow.
* Dwarven Haul - Looks like some bandits found some loot. Haven't found it yet in-game.
Loot found when going after crossbows and crossbow bolt upgrades. Come with some random Dwemer metal that can be smelted, along with the schematics for the upgrades.
* Dawnguard Orders - Saliah - I didn't join the Dawnguard, so they might exist.
* Dawnguard Orders - Lynoit
* Dawnguard Orders - Hakar
* Dawnguard Cache Key
The above four can be found on random encounters in seperate holds. They are named NPC's that are Dawnguard couriers that have the Dawnguard Orders and the key to a hidden cache. You have to follow the clues from the notes. No in game quest or anything. Just a "for fun" treasure hunt. Leads to generic loot I believe. I on vampire side when I found one of them. I don't know if the Dawnguard can get them. They most likely can, just not by killing them as I did.
* Confessions of a Kajiit Fur Trader - I haven't found it yet - or read it.
Same as The Sultry Argonian Bard, V1. A friend told me he found it in the back area I think. Can't quite remember, all I know is he found it.
* Ancestor Moth Wing - I haven't found it, but has anyone else? It it in the Glade?
Can be found in the new area with the Spriggans and the yellow mountain flowers. The area where you need to carve the bark off the tree and get moths to follow. Won't spoil anything more. But they are VERY hard to get. Only found one so far. Will look again later.
This is all I know. The other things I don't have a clue about.
Edit: Also, the black cowl can be found on the Danguard side during random quests to kill a visiting advisor I think his name is? I have complained before about how it seems only the Dawnguard can get the cowl. My vampire really wants it.

No, just Empath. Not Empathy. Weird, huh? I guess it is just a spell they cut out. Or maybe just another name for the detect all life spell. I will try to test it soon.

It isn't in the game from what I can tell. I just found all of this in the testing hall (coc qasmoke on console). I just ported the save over to the xbox.

Maybe they wanted the Vampire Lord's powers to be similar to Werewolves, where you have to equip only one type of blood magic/night power at a time, similar to how the Werewolves can only use one totem at a time? Seems like that, and they just scrapped the idea and left the items in.

Interesting.... That really could be. They seem to scrap many ideas.

No problem. Really good find with this stuff though. I'm interested for when the PC version comes out so we can see all the content in the DLC, from cut content to simply enemy stats.

Actually, that's a good guess. Maybe they didn't intend on a perk tree at first.

The they just suddenly decided to make it extremely overpowered by allowing you to change powers while in the form and change back at will, unlike the werewolf which you choose before you transform and can only transform twice a day (with Ring of Hircine) and have to worry about transforming back (assuming that you can't find enemies).

It's not as overpowered as some would think. On Master difficulty, facing multiple groups of enemies, I actually do much better with the Werewolf. I think Werewolves should have gotten a favorite menu to switch between the three howls at will, but besides that, I believe they are good where they both are. (Keep in mind Serana following you also bugs VL's Drain Life spell.)
