Quest Giver	Gunmar
Location	Radiant
Reward	Leveled apparel item
Faction	Dawnguard
Type	Side Quest

Hide and Seek is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard.

WalkthroughEdit

If the Dragonborn has sided with the Dawnguard, Gunmar sends them to kill a vampire masquerading as a traveling pilgrim, traveling merchant, traveling bard or visiting advisor at a radiant location. The killing of the vampire has to be completed without any citizens or guards seeing it or being alerted.

Possible LocationsEdit

StrategiesEdit

Option AEdit

The first option is to convince the target to follow the Dragonborn with a high enough speech skill. If the Dragonborn persuades or intimidates him to follow, they can lure the target to a hidden place and kill him there.

Option BEdit

The second option is to kill them from a hidden location: This is best done with a high sneak.

Option CEdit

The third option is to use a hidden identity by transforming. Go to a hidden location and then transform into a werewolf or a vampire lord, if available. Everyone will become hostile to the Dragonborn, but their identity will be hidden and they can kill the target and then flee before taking too much damage from attacking citizens and guards.

Option DEdit

If Illusion is high enough, the Fury spell can be used to cause the target to become hostile to everyone, this will cause the guards to attack the target and kill him.

TriviaEdit

This radiant quest is similar to the vampire side quest The Hunt.

BugsEdit

360 PC The quest marker will sometimes point to a place with no vampire present. This bug was first encountered in The Winking Skeever inside Solitude.
- PC(Fix) On console command, type setstage DLC1RH01 100
PS3 Sometimes, the vampire may be marked as "Visiting Advisor" and won't allow you to speak to him beyond the generic dialogue (such as "Yes?", "Hmm?", and "What do you want?").
Sometimes the target will be in Honeyside manor and unable to be killed without purchasing the house.
