Vampire quest line?

ShadowWolf613 · April 2014

Yesterday i was out when the bloodfiends where. I got vampirism and got the quest. Now I've heard a couple people completed the quest at such a low levels like 7+. I'm a level 15. Now a 16 but when i went to do the quest i couldn't do defeat the level 42 guys. I mean I would get there health maybe down a quarter of the way but that is all. So how have other people who where lower level then me complete it?

I did it last night at level 21. I used a Bow. Ranged is pretty much mandatory doing it as a low level. Snuck, got my heavy sneak attack damage. Hit Poison Arrow, Drain Essence (since they put it on your bar), and used Magnum Shot over and over again. They basically can't touch you. After going through the rotation twice, they were dead.

Yea see im healer using a restoration staff. The only attack i really got is from that and the first ability from the siphoning skill line. Plus the ones they give you during the quest. was only able to get them down to 25%

I am a Sorc but my 2nd bar is duel swords. I made a full set of heavy armor for the quest and went melee. Keep your eye on your health and use Drain Essence when you are getting low. Drain Essence is very good.

nightblade healer... simply spammed them with funnel health...

Just remember that's somewhere around a level 38 skill tree so the lower your level the longer it will take you to increase your rank. And you don't have to have any vamp skills on your combat bar as it pulls from your general xp gain.

Still why not have the Essence drain on the bar so to morph it early... not to mention this spells makes your life crazy easyer once you got it.

I'm going to try and do it at 20. I'm currently level 19

So is there no way to leave the quest until another time? It won't let me leave by any means I can divine. And I am way too weak to accomplish it.
I did try the portal to Tamriel, traveling to a player somewhere else and just using my map to go to a wayshrine. If there is a way out so that I can come back at a high=er level, I'd appreciate the heads up.

Edited for clarification.

you have to be bugged somehow, as i just did the quest on lvl 18, relogged to fix whisper, which resetted the quest to the very beginning- i was already down the cave, but without the skills. i ported to a wayshrine, went back and finished the quest.
- and don't relogg while in the crypt, the reset is complete. had to do the hole dialog thing three times.

I did it at 20 and some have done it at 13. Search forum for 'vampire guide'

Thanks for this. I eventually got out by being logged out for inactivity while trying to figure out an answer. It put my me at the outside of the crypt. Maybe I was bugged because nothing I did would let me travel out of there. lol

Since its 1 vs 1 and only melee attacks, kiting seems to work. My L28 sorcerer did it easily with the Clanfar morph and the Boundless Storm(has speed morph) by kiting. At the time i did not know drain essence fills ur health and stamina, but use that when your health gets low. It can only be used once per target so dont waste it. I also used the Destruction staff knockback skill but i doubt that is needed since Boundless storm can easily out run the melee attacker. That would be 3 or 4 skill points for You.

I did the quest after that with my L12 KnightBlade .... that fight was much harder (for me) and until i got pattern down,i died about half the time. Then probably 1 in 4 if i was concentrating. i think the key is kiting the worms down while keeping ur health above 30% with potions if u can ... till there health is just below 50% ... do drain essence, ur health then gets maxed and do an assassination move -> kite more to finish off now that ur health is full. My Knightblade was not faster than the melee attackers but i had the bow knock back effect to distance them. I dont consider myself very good using the knightblade mechanics either so it can be done.

I agree it would be hard to do with restoration staff alone. Get boundless storm with the speed morph & at least one conjuration minion to distract them ... to be safe u can get a destruction staff with the knock back skill to kite em too. Others have done it below level 10 with bow and conjuration minion also.
