Skyrim Castle Volkihar Redux

Castle Volkihar
The castle's main hall

Castle Volkihar is the base of operations for the Volkihar Vampire Clan and the home of Lord Harkon. It is located on an island off the northern coast of Skyrim, west of Solitude and can only be reached by bridge or boat.

Icewater Jetty is a location in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard. It is a small jetty north of Northwatch Keep, with only one boat docked next to it. The jetty itself is broken down and lies half submerged in water. Icewater Jetty is used to gain access to Castle Volkihar. If you like this Skyrim PS4 Mod and want to get it then visit – Download Enhanced Aqua Blue Water. 9 – Castle Volkihar Redux. This is the best mod for the bloodsucker player and is surely on your favorite. The best thing is that it turns the Castle Volkihar into the small town, and gives you a feel like you are really a part of this vampire. The castle has a forge, enchanting table, alchemy table, and portal to Soul Cairn. Other than that you can't really upgrade it. I really wish they did something with the cathedral though, it seems like there is a shrine to Molag Bal as a fountain of blood, but you can't interact with it in anyway.

For The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Castle Volkihar Redux no longer hosted on Skyrim nexus'. That is a false statement. Castle Volkihar Redux is a solid mod. It does not 'glitch Serana' or 'make the Dawnguard questline impossible'. Redux has well over 100,000 current subscribers and has been rated 5 stars for over 5 years. A game breaking mod would never have those ratings. In fact, they would be flagged and pulled.

Places[edit | edit source]

Volkihar Keep[edit | edit source]

The keep is centred around the main dining hall, with the chalice chamber, a sword and bow training area with smithy to one side, and the library with alchemy lab and crypt with coffins to the other. At the far end a passage leads to the human cattle cells in the cellar, and up the stairs to the private chambers of Lord Harkon.

Up here a door leads to the Cathedral.

Later in the vampire quest line, another private chamber, presumably for Valerica, is made presentable, and the passage to the castle's courtyard garden is opened up.

Volkihar Cathedral[edit | edit source]

It is here that the Dragonborn first learns about vampiric powers after receiving the 'gift' from Lord Harkon. This is also the location of the final confrontation with the vampire lord.

Volkihar Undercroft[edit | edit source]

Can only be accessed from outside the castle, via hidden dock, during Chasing Echoes. Death Hounds (×7), a few Skeever (×2), a Giant Frostbite Spider and a Skeleton await here. A Feral Vampire carries a Journal Fragment on his body. The path leads to the Volkihar Courtyard.

Volkihar Courtyard[edit | edit source]

The courtyard becomes directly accessible from the keep's main hall after Lord Harkon is dead, by asking Garan Marethi to remove the rumble blocking the door to it. From here the towers (both have caved in) and the ruins can be explored.

The yard features an initially abandoned garden, a very large moondial, and several parts for that dial: Half Moon Crest, Crescent Moon Crest and Full Moon Crest.

Volkihar East Tower[edit | edit source]

Pretty much empty, except for a few gems.

Volkihar North Tower[edit | edit source]

Three skeletons and a gargoyle guard this dead end area.

Volkihar's Ruins[edit | edit source]

The ruins become accessible after properly placing the crests in the moondial. The dusty hallways are infested with skeletons (×21) and gargoyles (×7). These eventually lead to Valerica's Study and the balcony.

Valerica's Study[edit | edit source]

The large study features an alchemy lab (×2), an arcane enchanter, a mysterious portal, some rather unusual ingredients: Finely Ground Bone Meal, Purified Void Salts, and Soul Gem Shards; and Valerica's Journal.

Volkihar Balcony[edit | edit source]

Quick way to reach Valerica's Study once discovered.

Content of the article: 'Game crashes upon setting foot on the Volkihar Island'

Recently whenever I try to set foot on the island that houses the Volkihar Castle and the related locations, the game freezes in the loading screen then crashes to desktop (I can coc into Volkihar Castle cells that are not outside). I'm not sure as to why this is happening, but I do believe that a mod(s) is a cause, but I'm not sure which. I originally thought that a previous save(s) or my character was the problem, but I was proven wrong.
