I Lost Serana
Ok SO Serana was with me when I went to talk to Parthaanax (S) and I told her to wait at the top of the mountain while I talk to Parth. She did and was standing there when I read the Dragon Elder Scroll and defeated Alduin. Then after I defeated Alduin she was goes. I tried finding her at Fort Dawngaurd but she is not there. I went back and forth between the Throat of the world and the fort but nothing. I even went and did the reading of the Blood scroll at Ancestor Glade thinking that she might show up. After I read the Scroll it says I need to talk to Serana and it points me to the entrance to the cave but she is not there. I cannot find her she is lost. Any suggestions or help would be great.

In the console enter:
moveto player xx002B74

Where xx is the number of how far down Dawnguard is in your load order.

(Skyrim.esm is 00, Update.esm is 01 and so on. Dawnguard is usually 03, but this may differ.)

euh, this part of the main quest is known to be buggy, in vanilla ...
Load an old backup with Serena, turns away and redid the quest, maybe ...

Yeah I lost her before but she showed up at Fort Dawngaurd when I went looking for her. Now it says or points with an arrow that she is standing in the entry way of Ancestor Glade. She is not standing there. I tried the moveto player 03002b74 and I just get the complied script error. I dont have an older save to go back to so I am hosed. I am going to try to set my follower to 0 and see if she will show up somewhere. I did not dismiss her but only told her to wait. Any other suggestions would be great.

If you get a compiled script error, it means that 03 doesn't represent your Dawnguard esm file. Keep increasing the number until it doesn't error.

Any easy way to find the correct number, is open the Skyrim launcher and click "data files". Count down the list (only counting files that are checked!) starting from 01 until you reach the Dawnguard one. Whatever number you're on then is the number you need.

I of a sudden reminds that Serena can not be transferred as long as you did not finish the DLC ... Dawngard ends first with Serena and resumes after the main quest ... maybe ...

I use Nexus Mod Manager. I also use Boss to correct the load order. Dawngaurd is sitting in the #3 position but still I get the error. When I look up Serana I get a refference ID and a Base is. the Refference ID for her is xx002b74 where the Base id is xx002bc. I also thought that if she left me after I told her to wait then usually as with followers they get tired of waiting and will leave you. They you have to find them again and tell them to follow you but it had been days now (in game time) and I still have not received a message about your follower leaving you. So again I am hosed. I am trying to find the console command to dismiss all followers but they changed the wikkia page.

Base ID refers to the base character that Serana is based off. RefID is her actual instance in the game world. In reply to the error thing, NMM includes Update.esm and Skyrim.esm in the load order which Skyrim does not, so the number you're looking for is -2 whatever NMM shows. Or should be (so your 03 should become 01).

Ok Thanks. I will try that. I also found a few commands for NPC's. I will see what I can do.

I read the Wiki ...
Console code or old backup ... uncorrupted.
I see no other solution for your problem, sorry.

Ok this is fun. So I did the moveto and it worked. It brought me to the arrow that says that is Serana but its just an arrow. So then I did the player.placeatme 02002bc 1 and I get 1 copy of naked serana that just walks away and will not respond to anything I try to do with her. I dont know where she is heading but she is off and running. Actually hafing the command to dismiss all followers would be nice.

Ok this is just funny. So I did the set playerfollowercount 0 and that did nothing for me. I still was not able to see or talk to Serana. She is just an arrow. So then I went to Fort Dawngaurd and did Prid 02002b74 followed by moveto player and Guess what. The arrow that is now Serana show up next to me. Now the game says that is Serana. Still just an arrow and I cant talk to or interact with or even see her. What a joke.

Take the number that worked (the one that got you the arrow) and try the following:

prid <the number> disable enable

Holy C R A P. It worked. So I did the prid disable and nothing changed. Then Prid and enable and BAM all the suddent she showed up right in front of me and started talking to me like nothing happened. I was then able to tell her to come with me. I am shocked. Thank you for the help.

Omg dude thank you so much I did everything you said to me and it’s fixed. It’s about the scrolls, if you read a scroll in main quest game will have a bug I guess. Bc we’re reading scroll in dlc also
