I am trying to part ways with Serana, but I think I am out of luck. I play on Xbox and when starting the "Chasing Echoes" quest there was a choice to start the quest with Serana or wait until later. I chose to start. But now I changed my mind, but deleted many saves leading up to that decision....so if I go back to a pre-save I will lose alot sigh.

Is there any "trick" to send her back to Dawnguard? Or anywhere else but with my character? There is a thread "lost Serana" where a player had Serana stuck in a jail. That would be ok for me. I just need to do a few sneaky pacifist "operations" and she is not a pacifist yikes.

I do have the option to "part ways" but she says "No way buddy". I do have an option to have her "wait" but she says "Ok, but I'm keeping an eye on you" and she still follows me.

Any ideas? Remember I'm on Xbox....

ps....I did hang out in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary for a few days, but she was still outside the door when I left. Maybe I should stay in there for a week? A month? A year? Serana, leave me alone you stalker!

Zacky, there are some Higher Level bad guys in the Castle that my Calm and Fear will not work on. One thing I did learn when releasing Serana...

Complete the quest?

I am playing as a "pacifist" - trying to complete as many quests without me personally killing anything. It is a challenge ! Made it all the way through the Main Quest before making my very first kill - Alduin. Made it all the way now to "Chasing Echoes" without killing anything. Can't use followers - because their kills count against me. (Although one trick I have learned is to have a follower follow me and then "part ways" just before a battle begins. They fight, but their kills do not mar my permanent record. My goal is to kill only Alduin, Ulfric, Lord Vampire Dude, Astrid, Mirak, and any other high level evil doer. I think LVD is a no go, especially if Serana is along...although if she left me alone for a while I think I might have a chance.

edit - I have already retrieved the Jagged Crown on my Legion Quest to kill Ulfic. Without any kills - it was hard. If I go back to my pre-serana save I lose that and have to start that Legion Questline again grrrr.

You could try calming or using fear on all the enemies instead of fighting them. Calm might work better as fear would still cause Serana to use her frost spell against them.

If that don't work, muffle and invisibility (cast muffle first) should get you past the vast majority of stuff unless it walks into you/it's a dragon...

I will give it a try, thanks. But it is a long way to the "moondial" garden with Serana. Lots of bad guys to sneak past with Serana in tow...

Spoiler:

Although while I am at the College of Winterhold buying the "Invisibility" Book - I am going to get "Harmony" too. That may work on the higher level Gargoyles etc.

And I think I will swim to the Castle from Winterhold. Might get enough of a headstart from Serana to start Mayheming before she shows up. Not sure how fast she swims lol.

There is a mod called Sneaky Seranna...it enables sneaking with her in tow...http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25131

He's on 360. No help posting mods for people that can't get them. And besides Serana* can sneak when you do and won't attack anything nonhostile.
