Ancient Power is a quest in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard.

Background[]

Feran Sadri sends the Dragonborn to retrieve the petrified remains of an elder vampire from a radiant location. This quest can be repeated up to four times. Body parts include:

Walkthrough[]

Head to the radiant location marked in the journal, where the body part will typically be located inside a chest in the marked location, usually within the final room. Return it to Feran for a reward, usually Potions of Blood, as well as the Bloodstone Chalice having its power permanently increased.

Possible locations[]

Reward[]

After infusing the remains' lingering magical essence into the Bloodstone Chalice, the Blood of the Ancients ability granted to the Dragonborn will last for a longer duration of time:

Bodyparts Duration
1 1 days
2 3 days
3 5 days
4 7 days
5 9 days (maximum)

If the ability was already listed under active effects, it will be removed upon completion of the quest as it becomes obsolete. The upgraded version of the ability can then be obtained from the chalice. The Dragonborn will also be given 3 Potions of Blood.

Trivia[]

  • The quest "Lost Relic" is the counterpart to this quest when allied with the Dawnguard.
  • The quest can be given randomly, so it may take doing several other radiant quests for Feran, Fura Bloodmouth, and Garan Marethi before it will be given again until all the Ancient Vampire parts have been recovered.
