Bug?[edit]

I cannot get through the mine. The floors have dissappeared! Anyone else experience this? Solved it by saving and loading, but wondering if its something others have seen? (Saddy69 20:41, 3 July 2012 (UTC))

I have seen floors disappear a few times, I do not think its something specific to Dead Drop Falls and reentering the area or reloading a save usually fixes it. — Kimi the Elf (talk | contribs) 20:44, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Vasha?[edit]

Is it possible that this Khajiit author of the new book is actually Vasha? Aran Mafre 20:54, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Doubtful. Vasha was a thief and murderer. The author was a merchant, skinning people and beastfolk and sold those for gold. VycDarkshadow (talk) 21:50, 1 January 2013 (GMT)

The Sultry Argonian Bard[edit]

Has anyone else found volume one of this in the Mine? Also, I had a good chunk of the ceiling and walls missing, but as far as I can tell none of the floor is missing.--Playerseekingbugs 17:36, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Actually I suppose others have found it, but why isn't this unique book mention in the proper section on the page?--Playerseekingbugs 17:41, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Because no one's added it yet. Feel free to do so yourself where it belongs if you know the appropriate section for it; otherwise, you can add it as a note until someone merges it into the walkthrough. ABCface 20:08, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Ledge is not unreachable[edit]

If you walk up to elevated northwest area in the first room and stand on a small boulder, it's actually quite easy to jump up to the ledge with the chest. Minor EditsThreatsEvidence 21:30, 15 October 2012 (GMT)

When I wrote up this page, most Dawnguard pages either didn't exist or only had one sentence, so I was just trying to get the information up quickly. I only went through the area twice to write it up, and that would be why I added the cleanup tag. I figured I'd missed something here or there, so feel free to fix whatever needs fixing. :) — ABCface 21:49, 15 October 2012 (GMT)
An easier way of reaching this first chest is to climb opposite and use whirlwind sprint to cross the gap, but as you end up here I found the main use was to store everything spare I was carrying for collection on the way out. Biffa. 90.202.87.78 17:38, 10 March 2013 (GMT)

Targets not always activating upon being hit.[edit]

I've had several occasions where i hit the center of the target as directed, but the gate does not open. I've even bulls-eyed it on at least 3 occasions (on the double-gated area), and have had nothing at all happen. I find it easier to just use the console to disable the gates, rather than shoot repeatedly, hit the center of the target, and have nothing happen. Anyone else notice this?

I Found that you can drop the single bridge and close the first gate, then whilst standing on the single dropped bridge activate the lever again to raise this bridge and open the first gate, it raises you up with the bridge and with careful timing you can reach the upper platform. Thus only needing to aim at the target once between gates. Biffa. 90.202.87.78 17:31, 10 March 2013 (GMT)
You can run across the first dropped bridge as it rises, and then jump off the end onto the second bridge. It's rather like some of the run and jump bridges in Apocrypha. 174.6.51.17 18:34, 25 January 2014 (GMT)

My follower got stuck.[edit]

In the upper part (before dropping down the hole), my follower got stuck (Uthgerd the Unbroken). She wouldn't follow me when I went back to Fort Dawnguard. Since I read that she wouldn't follow down the hole anyway, I decided to take the trek down the hole and into the mine and maybe when I came back out she would be unstuck.

Well when I got in to the Dead Fall Mines zone she caught up to me (from the back way). Somehow she got through the blocked exit and started following me again.

After a got through the mine and back up to the top of Dead Drop Falls again, she became stuck on the ledge by the chest. Finally after using unrelenting force on her several times, I got her pushed far enough away so that she would start following again.

Anybody else have this issue? — Unsigned comment by SweetOne69 (talkcontribs) at 21:44 on 19 August 2014‎

Same. J'zargo got stuck on the ledge. Enodia (talk) 01:26, 29 September 2014 (GMT)

Nice trick with magic[edit]

Mage Light works on the targets better than arrows or bolts — Unsigned comment by 24.180.155.208 (talk) at 06:18 on 29 September 2014 (GMT)
