Vampiric Perks and Abilities

Failing to cure Porphyric Hemophilia within 72 hours and a rest results in permanent vampirism. This condition progresses through four stages, each enhancing attributes (Strength, Willpower, and Speed), skills (Acrobatics, Athletics, Destruction, Hand to Hand, Illusion, Mysticism, Sneak), and granting unique abilities. All stages provide 100% Disease and Paralysis Resistance. However, fire weakness and sun damage intensify with each stage. Stage 4 also leads to social isolation, impacting quest availability.

Vampirism Stage	Ability Acquired	Attribute/Skill Bonus	Fire Weakness	Resist Normal Weapons
Stage 1 (Under 24 hours since last feed)	Hunter's Sight	5	20%	5%
Stage 2 (24-48 hours since last feed)	Vampire's Seduction	10	30%	10%
Stage 3 (48-72 hours since last feed)	Reign of Terror	15	40%	15%
Stage 4 (72 hours since last feed)	Embrace of Shadows	20	50%	20%

Abilities Explained:

• Hunter's Sight: A lesser Illusion/Mysticism power granting Night-Eye (30 seconds) and Detect Life (100ft range, 30 seconds). Costs 5 Magicka.

• Vampire's Seduction: A greater Illusion power providing 50 Charm points (20 seconds on touch). One use per day.

• Reign of Terror: A greater Illusion power casting Silence (20ft range, 60 seconds) and Demoralize (Level 6, 60 seconds on touch). One use per day.

• Embrace of Shadows: A greater Illusion power granting Night-Eye (90 seconds) and Invisibility (180 seconds). One use per day.

Becoming a Vampire

Contracting Porphyric Hemophilia from a vampire, followed by three days and three rests, triggers vampirism.

1. Contract Porphyric Hemophilia (vampire attack).
2. Rest after 72 hours – first dream.
3. Rest again after 24 hours – second dream.
4. Rest again after 24 hours – third dream, full vampirism.

Curing Porphyric Hemophilia before step 2 prevents vampirism. However, re-infection restarts the process (unless previously cured of full vampirism).

Contracting Porphyric Hemophilia:

• Vampire attack. (Barren Cave is a good starting point.)
• Complete Vicente Valiteri's contracts in the Dark Brotherhood questline.
• (Mehrunes' Razor DLC) Consume Msirae Faythung's heart (or create a potion).

Preventing Vampirism

Cure Porphyric Hemophilia within 72 hours using:

• Chapel prayer.
• Mandrake Root or Shepherd's Pie.
• "Cure Disease" spell or potion.

A full Fatigue bar indicates a cure.

Curing Vampirism

Cure vampirism via the "Vampire Cure" quest or the Font of Renewal (Deepscorn Hollow, Vile Lair DLC – included in the Remaster).

Font of Renewal:

1. Locate Deepscorn Hollow (southeast of Leyawiin).
2. Gather Purgeblood Salts.
3. Interact with the Font.

Vampire Cure Quest:

1. Inquire about cures.
2. Consult Raminus Polus (Arcane University).
3. Speak with Hal-Liurz (Castle Skingrad).
4. Find Melisande (Drakelowe).
5. Provide ingredients.
6. Retrieve the cure.

Feeding

Feed on sleeping characters. Avoid witnesses (40 gold bounty). Beggars are easy targets. Guilds and inns offer opportunities but increase the risk of detection.

Identifying Vampirism

Check your stats for a 5-point Fatigue drain (red number). Strange dreams indicate progression. Failed cures confirm vampirism.

Vampire Locations

Barren Cave (guaranteed vampires). Other potential locations: Fort Carmala, Fort Hastrel, Fort Naso, Fort Redman, Fort Vlastarus, Fanacas, Lipsand Tarn, Ninendava, Nornalhorst.

Avoiding Sun Damage

• Maintain Stage 1 vampirism.
• Travel under clouds or underwater.
• Enter Oblivion.
• Cast healing spells while moving.
• Avoid using the "Wait" function during daylight transitions.

Should You Become a Vampire?

Weigh the powerful bonuses against the significant drawbacks. The constant need to feed, sun vulnerability, and potential quest limitations may outweigh the benefits for many players. Dark Elves are better suited due to their fire resistance. Consider your playstyle carefully. Avoid Stage 4 for the final mission!
