I love the irony of the fact that your character is a High Elf (could tell from the Highborn ability), and the fact you end your videos with "May Talos guide you"

The weird thing is, I was totally lost about where to get the rest of my soul from the Soul Cairn. I searched over and over, checked my side-quests. It wasn't there. I was totally baffled, I thought I had to talk to Serana's mum in order to spawn it. Turns out that in my obsessive quest to find Juib's pages, I picked it up without realising. I know because the chest is empty and I remembered picking it up.

Thank you! This was my first play through where I wasn’t a vampire in the soul cairn so I was getting really frustrated in this stupid little building. You rock.

Thanks Smike! Just to point something out though, Valerica can give you a misc. quest to get your soul essence back, so the only confusing part is finding your way through the small Labyrinth. But in all seriousness though, thank you for making this tutorial. It worked perfectly for me.

You must find Soul in Soul Cairn that wants you to find his horse's skull. Once you find Arvak's (that's that horse's name) skull, bring it back to that soul. He will give you spell ,,Summon Arvak'', so you can summon and ride him.

I love how in Skyrim devs design some missions that should be a puzzle to solve but have a marker on the map leading to the goal but in the case of this mission they stated "we wouldn't add a marker on the map so a frustrated player will run for 3 hours in a location where everything looks the same to finally find that one place" xD
