Vampirism is a syndrome that is acquired after the illness Sanguinare Vampiris has infected the body longer than three in-game days. Harmed past sunlight, stigmatized by mortals, and infamous for their unquenchable thirst for claret, vampires get to farthermost lengths to hibernate their disquiet or even their entire presence from mortals. In Skyrim, Vampires larn special magical spells equally their level of infection increases. To starting time this advantage, vulnerabilities to burn and sunlight are besides conferred. Vampirism can exist contracted and cured an unlimited number of times. If the infection has rooted before three days have passed, a Potion of Cure Affliction can be ingested to cure Sanguinare Vampiris, which, equally previously mentioned, is the disease that somewhen leads to Vampirism. Alternatively, praying at a shrine cures information technology. Otherwise, the but method for removing the disease is to speak to Falion, the thaumaturge of Morthal. He requires a filled Black Soul Gem to cure vampirism.

Vampirism comes in 4 stages of severity. The severity of the infection increases the longer the vampire goes without drinking blood. Sleeping humans can be fed on to keep the curse at bay. Spectators of a feeding become hostile and report the criminal offense to Hold Guards. Feeding accrues a bounty of twoscore in the corresponding Hold. The crime cannot be paid off with or jail time. Upon reaching stage four of vampirism, mortals can discover the vampire more easily, attacking or fleeing near upon sight.

The Dawnguard add-on adds a Vampire Lord ability with eleven perks to unlock through leveling upwardly. The Dragonborn opens up the skill tree past siding with Lord Harkon and the Volkihar Association to assistance actuate the Tyranny of the Sun prophecy foretold in the Elder Scrolls. Unlocking all eleven perks garners players an achievement. In improver, characters no longer plough hostile when the Dragonborn is at stage four vampirism, only they will if they are in Vampire Lord grade.

Contracting Vampirism

Sanguinare Vampiris

Laelette the Vampire casting the Vampiric Drain spell, responsible for causing the Sanguinare Vampiris infection.

Sanguinare Vampiris is the affliction that eventually culminates in vampirism and is typically contracted when attacked by a vampire, either with physical attacks or being subject to their Vampiric Bleed spell. If i is attacked past Vampiric Drain, at that place is a x% gamble of infection.

If the disease has non been cured (via a Cure Disease potion or praying at a shrine) within three days, the infection mutates into full vampirism, causing a series of maladaptive and beneficial traits to sally in the subject. Drinking claret tin can stay the infection and lessen the deficits of the disease.

In Dawnguard, drinking from the bloodspring in Redwater Den too allows the disease to exist contracted.

Harkon and Serana

Vampirism can exist direct contracted without contracting Sanguinare Vampiris by getting bitten by Harkon or Serana, which at the same time gives the Dragonborn the power to get a Vampire Lord (see below).

Using panel commands

In PC versions of Skyrim, the console can exist used to contract Vampirism without existence bitten or waiting for the stages of the infection to progress. It can be done with the player.setrace command; for case, to change into a Bosmer vampire, player.setrace woodelfracevampire must be entered. If a race other than the ane that was selected at character creation is called, the rendered Dragonborn will become bald. However, this method can lead to acquiring "broken" vampirism with about abilities and agile effects missing. This can be fixed past feeding.

An culling method of doing so is to type in the command player.addspell 000B8780. This volition infect the role player with the vanilla version of Sanguinare Vampiris. If i wants to be infected with the aforementioned disease, but wants the Dawnguard version, they should instead type in the command, histrion.addspell xx0037E9. Apparently, this will just piece of work if the Dawnguard improver has been installed.

Immunity to vampirism

While infected with Lycanthropy as a result of getting involved in the Companions questline, or when otherwise engaged in Fauna Form as a result of a issues related to Hircine's Ring, player characters effectively become fully immune to vampirism, as they cannot contract the pre-requisite Sanguinare Vampiris disease. Argonians and Bosmer are naturally resistant to disease, being 50% less likely than other races to contract vampirism, while the rest may additionally equip enchantments or drink resist affliction potions to avoid infection. Hevnoraak'due south mask will grant resistance against diseases and infections^.

Annotation that, regardless of any other preventative measures taken, opting to become a Vampire Lord will inflict the status instantly, removing Lycanthropy if already nowadays. It'south too possible to become a vampire while retaining Lycanthropy via console commands.

Physical appearance

A Nordic vampire

A Khajiit vampire. The teeth of Khajiit vampires develop saber-like fangs and their eyes become more than catlike.

"Vampirism tends to keep ane remarkably... fresh."

―Babette^[src]

Vampires are easily distinguishable from a non-infected private. As a result of the hemophiliac virus, the infected slowly abound paler. Fangs protrude from their gums, assuasive for easier feeding of blood. Eye colour changes from the spectrum of average hues to red.

When infected, the fur of the Khajiit alters as the skin of a human or elf would. Long-toothed past nature, the incisors of the Khajiit grow exceptionally long, so that they beetle below the lip. Their pupils also become slit-similar. Similarly with the Argonians; they grow pairs of double fangs which beetle from the upper jaw at the forepart of the oral cavity, the eyes (if not already slit) will become pale and slit-like, and the color of the scales grow grayer as the infection worsens.

Stages of vampirism and their furnishings

Subsequently approximately mean solar day without feeding, a vampire progresses a phase. Feeding always brings the vampire back to phase 1. Without Dawnguard installed, characters become hostile toward the vampire as the infection deteriorates, attacking them on sight. Dawnguard removes this penalization and people volition care for a blood-starved vampire similar any other person.

Stage	Without Dawnguard	With Dawnguard	Spells	Abilities
one	Resist Frost: 25% Weakness to Fire: 25%	Resist Frost: 20% Weakness to Burn down: 20%	Vampiric Bleed Vampire's Servant Vampire'due south Sight	Champion of the Night Nightstalker's Footsteps Vampiric Forcefulness: 5 pts Weakness to Sunlight: -xv pts

Effects across all stages

These effects exist across all stages of infection and are perpetually active:

• Weakness to Sunlight – Health, magicka, and stamina exercise not recover in sunlight. Each stat is stunted, too, which increases with the severity of infection. The skin appears to slowly burn as time is spent in sunlight.
  • Sunlight is encountered outdoors during the solar day between v am and 7 pm. Because of this, vampires move more than easily at nighttime. Equipping apparel that grants a faster regeneration percentage on any of the iii master stats, using the Lady Rock, or taking a perk that grants faster regeneration allows stat recovery regardless of 1's weakness to sunlight.
  • With the addition of Dawnguard, it is possible to nullify the effects of the sun for a day, by using Auriel's Bow to shoot Bloodcursed Elven Arrows at it.
  • This does non affect the histrion while in Apocrypha or the Soul Cairn, every bit the lord's day does not appear in these locations fifty-fifty during solar day.
• Resist Affliction – The Dragonborn's vampiric blood gives them 100% resistance to disease.
• Resist Poison – The Dragonborn'south vampiric claret gives them 100% resistance to poison.
• Nightstalker'southward Footsteps – Vampires are 25% harder to detect while sneaking.
• Champion of the Dark – Illusion spells cast by a vampire are 25% more powerful.

Annotation: the installation of the Dawnguard add together-on may affect these.

Spells and powers

• Vampiric Drain – Absorb x points of health per 2nd from target. Functions as a novice-level Destruction spell whose magnitude and elapsing increase with severity of infection. With Dawnguard installed, it can also bleed magicka and stamina.
• Vampire's Retainer – Reanimate a dead trunk to fight for the vampire for 60 seconds. Spell limited to one cast per day. Improves with severity of infection.
• Vampire's Sight – Meliorate night vision for express elapsing. Information technology can be used multiple times a mean solar day and can be toggled on and off.
• Vampire's Seduction – Creatures and people are calmed for a limited elapsing once per day. With the addition of Dawnguard, targets can be used for vampiric feeding. Acquired at stage two of vampirism.
• Encompass of Shadows – The vampire becomes invisible, with night vision for 180 seconds. Tin only be used in one case per day; interacting with annihilation will remove invisibility every bit per usual. Acquired at stage four of vampirism.

Necromage

Since becoming a Vampire classifies the Dragonborn as undead, they volition proceeds the effect of the Necromage perk (if chosen as a Restoration skill). Necromage enhances all buffs and debuffs by 25%. A basic Vampire character at phase four raises its Resist Frost to 62.5%; as well with its Weakness to Fire to 62.five%.

The interesting feature of this perk is that all Enchantments count every bit buffs and will be increased by 25%. Essentially, everything in Active Effects is enhanced by this perk.

Hostility

A vampire beingness attacked post-feeding.

If the Dragonborn is at phase four of vampirism without the Dawnguard add-on, to avoid hostile characters, they must travel by night and avert places where a vampiric infection would exist noticed.

Because vampirism bolsters Illusion spells, casting spells such equally Pacify on characters tin can preclude them from attacking a vampire. Perks such as "Kindred Mage" and "Hypnotic Gaze" may demand to be unlocked showtime for higher-leveled people to exist affected past the spell.

Feeding

A vampire feeding on Drevis Neloren.

Drinking the blood of the uninfected stays the vampiric infection. Levels of vampirism can be reversed simply by drinking blood.

Feeding accrues a bounty of 40 in the respective holds, if caught. Sneak, Muffle, and invisibility are powerless to decrease the chances of detection. In that location are two methods for feeding available to vampires:

Types of feeding

Sleeping

To feed, 1 must approach a sleeping humanoid and press the interaction button. If successful, a black message box pops up with the options of "Feed" or "Talk to <grapheme's proper name>". 1 must select feed to execute the feeding command. During the session, the vampire bends over the slumbering victim and the screen flashes a light magenta color. A message reading "Your vampiric powers recede equally you feed." is also displayed. The same person can be fed from multiple times in one night, or across nights, and they are never killed equally a outcome of the feeding unless the Vampire Lord ability is agile at the time. As with pickpocketing, incessant interaction with a target increases the chances that they will awaken.

Conscious

With the addition of Dawnguard, conscious humanoids can be fed upon. Information technology works similarly to the sleeping method, just requires the Dragonborn to cast the Vampire's Seduction spell on a person get-go. This spell is merely available at stage two of vampirism and can only be used one time per day. It only affects characters up to a certain level, and then the target must exist chosen carefully before casting the spell.

The dungeon in Castle Volkihar has some cattle that appear to be permanently afflicted by Vampire's Seduction and can be fed on while conscious.

Methods for feeding easily

• Find a spouse and drink their claret nightly. Housecarls too function well for this.
• In the activity command card, inquire followers to sleep in a bed.
• Guilds harbor no prejudice any against their vampiric members, provided each organization is joined before turning into a stage 4 vampire and the thespian is non defenseless feeding on a character. Many guild members slumber in one location (e.g. the Dark Brotherhood and the College of Winterhold), making information technology easy to locate and feed upon them.
• Taverns and inns host several sleeping patrons. Close the door to the sleeping person'due south room to avert alerting the other patrons.
• The Temple of Kynareth is a useful place to feed when sneaking. The wounded soldier and sick woman are always there.
• A Potion of Blood from Dawnguard is the equivalent to consuming blood.

Vampire Lord

Harkon's Vampire Lord form.

Main commodity: Vampire Lord

The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard, the first official add-on for Skyrim redesigned the vampire game mechanic, adding a perk skill tree and revamping the concrete appearance. During the quest called "Bloodline", the Dragonborn must decide whether to continue assisting the Dawnguard or bring together Harkon and the Volkihar Clan. Choosing the path of Harkon grants the power to become a Vampire Lord, unlocking the potential to utilize xi unique perk abilities. It should be noted that siding with Dawnguard does not abolish the possibility of becoming Vampire Lord. Unless cured, Serana can make one both after "Chasing Echoes" and "Kindred Judgment."

Amid the newly added spells is the ability to drain life to vitalize the Vampire Lord and the ability to summon Gargoyles the way atronachs are summoned via the use of Conjuration magic. The power bite set on adds unique cinematics in which the Vampire Lord wraps its wings around the victim and bites them on the cervix.

Curing vampirism

Conventional method

The rock circle where the anti-vampire ritual is conducted.

See too: Ascension at Dawn

1. Enquire any bartender about any rumors going around, and they direct the infected person to Falion in Morthal, who studies vampires. Traveling to Morthal while at stage four vampirism tin be difficult, since hostile persons will attack the vampire on sight (unless the Dawnguard improver is installed).
2. Once there, he informs the vampire that a ritual can be performed to reverse the curse. A filled black soul gem is required offset. The Black Star cannot be substituted for this gem. Falion offers to sell the vampire a Blackness Soul Precious stone, if they cannot larn one through other means.
3. Make full the Black Soul Gem by casting Soul Trap on a humanoid target.
4. Meet Falion at the stone circumvolve to cure the infection.
5. Falion endlessly agrees to cure vampirism, so the quest can be completed multiple times, if infected on more than one occasion.

Lycanthropy

Condign a Werewolf automatically cures vampirism. Aela the Huntress turns the Dragonborn into a werewolf should they make up one's mind to join the Companions and get a member of the circle.

Panel Commands

Another way of curing vampirism is via Console Commands; one must open the console and type setstage 000EAFD5 10. By using the Console Control lawmaking showracemenu to change the Dragonborn's race, vampirism is immediately removed. This is also true of the changesex command.

If one is having trouble curing one's vampirism, or having trouble getting Rising at Dawn quest to start (to articulate information technology), a set up is to type in setstage 0005C625 200 instead. It is important to annotation that this will articulate complete the Rising at Dawn quest.

Comparisons with other games

Vampire factions

Sociologically, vampires in previous games have a stronger presence, both in regards to how they are interacted with and the niche their demographic plays in the microcosms of the setting.

Like to the Volkihar Clan in Dawnguard, there are vampire factions The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall and The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind that can be joined. In Morrowind, joining a Vampire Clan allocates additional attributes bonuses and fortifications for skills. Skyrim excludes this feature, as does Oblivion. A re-invented version of this game mechanic returned with Dawnguard, merely it was more closely integrated with the main storyline and the bonuses granted are based on perks given upon leveling up.

Vampires grouped together in clans in Daggerfall and Morrowind; members consisting solely of vampires from the same bloodline. This translates to Skyrim in course of Laelette and Alva's interactions with Movarth and his coven. Otherwise, most vampires encountered in Skyrim are uncivilized, wild, and near lonely, minus their thralls and slaves.

Bonuses and unique spells

In both Morrowind and Oblivion, vampires gained bonuses to attributes and skills simply upon becoming vampires. The eradication of the attribute system in Skyrim fabricated garnering such bonuses obsolete. Vampire-specific spells and abilities such equally Vampiric Bleed and Cover of Shadows replaced these attribute bonuses. In Oblivion, a Night-Center-based spell similar to Vampire's Sight did appear; however, the unique Charm spell, Enthralling Presence, was given at stage three vampirism. Again, Skyrim'due south omission of Charm, every bit a castable spell, lends explanation to its exclusion.

Disadvantages

In regards to the disadvantages of vampirism, Oblivion has more differences from those in the vampires of Skyrim. Instead of increasing Weakness to Fire by 25% at each stage of infection, Oblivion added 10%, with a minimum weakness of xx% and a maximum of 50%. Both Oblivion and Morrowind were without automated health, magicka, and stamina regeneration, so being in sunlight did not stunt it. Instead, vampires in those titles sustained abiding impairment per 2d at an accelerated scale, as infection augmented. Fast-traveling as a vampire in Oblivion could non accept place during the twenty-four hours for this reason.

While those caught feeding are still violently reproached, townsfolk and city guards are less inclined to discover a vampire by physical advent lonely, even during broad daylight while sustaining Sun Damage in other games.

Curing vampirism

In Oblivion, the cure for vampirism is also given by a mage, in the form of a sequestered hedgewitch, and involves Grand Soul Gems and various alchemical ingredients. Morrowind requires the fetching of a book and direct interaction with Molag Bal, the princely patron of vampirism. In both games, vampirism tin can also be cured via panel commands.

Trivia

• If vampirism is contracted earlier dealing with Laelette the Vampire, Alva calls players "Blood brother" if male or "Sister" if female person, expressing kinship with them and unintentionally unveiling her vampiric nature.
• If Vampiric Bleed is equipped before Falion performs the curing ritual, it remains equipped and usable even afterwards the vampirism is gone.
• If playing as a Dunmer, the weakness to fire is negated by the Dunmer'south natural resistance to burn. This is useful for eliminating the major disadvantage of playing as a vampire. Unlike the stunted magicka, health, and stamina, which are only present when exposed to direct sunlight, the weakness to fire is permanent.
• The Night Thief perk from pickpocketing synergizes well with feeding upon sleeping enemies, equally does charging the Skull of Abuse.
• If the Dragonborn is a vampire or Vampire Lord, Galathil will refuse to alter their appearance, challenge that her techniques simply work on the living, not the undead. ^DG

Bugs

This section contains bugs related to Vampirism (Skyrim). Before calculation a bug to this list, consider the following:

1. Please reload an old relieve to ostend if the problems is still happening.
2. If the issues is still occurring, please postal service the bug report with the appropriate system template  360 / XB1 ,  PS3 / PS4 ,  PC / MAC ,  NX / PS5 ,  XS , depending on which platform(s) the bug has been encountered on.
3. Exist descriptive when listing the problems and fixes, simply avoid having conversations in the description and/or using commencement-person anecdotes: such discussions vest on the appropriate forum board.

Click to run into the list of bugs encountered.

360  If the Dragonborn lands earlier Harkon says to and reverts to a subsequently salvage, the press (ls) command volition be stuck on screen.  360 PS3  Sometimes, later feeding, switching dorsum to outset person view before moving away from the bed causes characters to be stuck, unable to move in whatsoever style. Reloading from the final relieve or using the Whirlwind Sprint shout fixes this. Another fix is to feed a 2nd time and switch back to kickoff person view.  PC 360 PS3  When playing as a vampire, Ebony Shields or Blades Shields will non announced on vampire characters even when equipped. After curing vampirism, the Ebony and Blade Shields will be visible again. Other shields are not affected. When citizens assail vampires, guards may register this as a crime and help defend the vampire. Guards will withal yell, "Vampire! Burn information technology!", merely never assault the vampire.  360  After completing all quests in the Companions questline leading up to the Underforge event where the Dragonborn becomes a werewolf, if they are likewise vampires and then they tin can wait exactly two minutes (in-game) earlier progressing to the next stage of vampirism and drink Aela's claret from the altar. If timed correctly, all the progressed effects from that phase of vampirism (excluding existing, unchanged effects) tin be kept, while gaining lycanthropy benefits on top of it. This likewise works 2 in-game minutes before Sanguinare Vampiris progresses into full vampirism, granting the 25% sneak and Illusion bonuses. Afterward, vampirism locks in its current stage, and characters will be unable to feed to lower their degree of vampirism, nor will information technology increment with time. Vampirism cannot exist cured through the related quest, once this occurs. Both negative and positive effects will be kept.  360  Sometimes when wearing masks or masked hoods, progressing into a phase 4 vampire will crusade fangs to stick out of the mask. This seems to happen with Argonians and Khajiit.  PC 360 PS3  Vampirism may cause the Thieves Guild Hood to glitch and get invisible with a large pigsty in the top of the wearer'due south hair. This tin can be somewhat circumvented by reverting to the original race by using the command player.setrace <non-vampiric desired race> (e.g. player.setrace highelf), and then reverting information technology back by using the command player.setrace highelfracevampire. This, however, causes the grapheme to be unable to feed while still progressing through the stages of vampirism. Equipping a cowl causes it and the Thieves Lodge Hood to be equipped simultaneously, forth with its bonuses however intact.  PS3  If the player is already a Werewolf, it is still possible to contract Vampirism. The bug lasts permanently, but there are means of fixing it. The player can either become a Vampire Lord and lose both the regular vampirism and lycanthropy, or getting their vampirism cured past Falion and still continue their lycanthropy.  PC  Poison resistance does not prevent 1 from being poisoned and taking impairment, despite being listed in active effects.  PC  Disease resistance may fail to preclude vampirism. Information technology is also possible to contract at least one affliction (Bone Break Fever) as a vampire, despite vampires being listed as having 100% disease resistance.  PC  In some cases, condign a vampire does not grant the Vampire'south Sight ability. Other features of the template remain unaffected. This can exist corrected manually using the console command player.addspell 000C4DE1. Due to vampires being undead, the Necromage perk from the Restoration school will act equally a permanent Fortify Restoration 25%. This results in that almost all benign magic effects, including permanent item enchantments, blessings, and heals, are 25% more powerful.  PC  When using the panel control to become a vampire there is a glitch that upon condign a vampire lord your vampire lord spell will non announced. The but way to ready this is to load a save from before the command was used. With Dawnguard installed, friendly-fire "claret bleed" attacks from Serana may identify any graphic symbol into a bugged state of vampirism, regardless of their disease resistance. To recover, the player must contract vampirism "normally" before then curing their vampirism in the normal manner.
