Any idea on how to get Serana's Mom out out the Soul Cairn?

[Rubriali]

I have tried literally everything to get her out and she's not leaving. I did it before with another character but she doesn't for my more recent character.

Kill Harkon. Go tell Valerica that Harkon is dead. She'l leave.

I tried that. Many of times but she won't leave

Which side did you take? IIRC she only leaves if you're on the Vampire side, not the Dawnguard one.

I sided with Dawnguard and she left after I told her I defeated Harkon, and afterwards I saw her pottering around her creepy lab.

Edit: Sorry Saturn, I missed your comment. Anyway that's two votes for old Val leaving. lol

Try teleporting her and see if her script resets.

Hmm, that's interesting, there was someone here the other week complaining that because they'd stayed with the DG she wouldn't go home (because it's dependent on one of the remaining vamps fixing the corridor or something) and the consensus was that this was normal and not really fixable.

Off the TES wiki:

After the Dragonborn kills Harkon, it's possible to travel back to the Soul Cairn and tell her Harkon is dead. She will then return to her study about a day later. After Valerica returns to the castle, she will plant new herbs in the garden in the courtyard, provided Garan Marethi is asked to repair the corridor that leads there. (Corridor cannot be repaired if the Dragonborn is sided with Dawnguard as all inhabitants are killed after Harkon's death)

It should definitely be possible, I've done it in the past on Dawnguard-sided playthroughs. Fixing the corridor only effects whether she replants the garden.
