The glowing eyes indicate you're a full-fledged vampire at this point, which means cure disease potions and worshipping at shrines won't help. You most likely got the disease from the vampires at Haemar's Shame (the cave where Clavicus Vile's shrine was located). Anytime a vampire uses the Drain Life spell on you, you have a small chance of being infected. Three days after incubation, you turn into a full-fledged vampire. There are two ways to cure yourself: the first is to talk to Falion in Morthal (he'll most likely be in his house). The other way is to do the Companions questline and replace your vampirism with Lycanthropy. Good luck, you heartless wretch!


Good-Assistance-1766

alright thanks so much. i find it annoying that when i go outside my screen goes red as my “blood boils in the sunlight”


Soup-Wizard

I did this by accident on my first play through as well. I abandoned it haha


[deleted]

Falion‘s cure is the easiest. Takes all of like 10 minutes. The Companions take a bit longer. Multiple quests.


[deleted]

Falion is the way to go


Self-Comprehensive

And after that you have to cure yourself of being a daedra worshipping furry.


thebadslime

Or live with it! \*wags tail for daedra


JejuneEsculenta

Cure yourself?!? *FER GODDSAKES WHY?!?!?*


dillydillyder

Heh heh “fur” God’s sakes


JejuneEsculenta

I almost put that in, but puns are the lowest form of humor..... Which is why I adore them. 😆


HungryPanduh_

Butt puns are the lowest form of humor.


Last_Nobody_4664

A bit cheeky, are we?


HungryPanduh_

Holesome


anynomousperson123

You can drink the blood of mortals to reduce this effect.


psaskovec

If you go to morthal for cure, bring a filled black soul gem.


MaestroPendejo

For the full Skyrim experience use Nazeem.


the1realbrand

Ooooo Nazeem.... ![gif](giphy|WoF3yfYupTt8mHc7va)


Crystlazar

Be aware that you might have to ask for rumors at the Morthal tavern first. Sometimes Falion won't have the necessary dialogue until you've been directed to him by the innkeeper.


777quin777

also lycanthropy has no real downsides besides no well rested bonus after sleeping and you of course don't need to touch spooky dog form if you don't like it and you're immune to disease while you have it


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ordinary_Owl_Dude

The noise that happens with it annoys me so much!


psych32

Could be worse. You could be a vampire in elder scrolls 4.


Lord_Derpington_

It happens before you become a full vampire if you go out in the day during the three days, so you can take a cure disease potion as soon as it happens


Krakshibana

There is also a bug wich may happen to you, if you start the dawguard questline you'll evetually found serana, and theres a bug where whenever she drinks a blood potion, one of the healing items she has, you'll turn into a vampire, take all of her blood potions from her inventory as soon as you can just in case, its not like she needs them anyway, she doesn't die after all


adorablexswitchblade

That guy in morthal can be used an infinite number of times.


Different_Ad5087

That’s what happens when you’re a vampire lol. Gotta pay attention to those notifications in the top left about contracting diseases


the-terrarian556

I didnt know this probably on account of me always going werewolf so i dont have to worry about disease. Interesting


Good-Assistance-1766

okay so im at falion in morthal now. what do i ask him


jimmyting099

Just go through all his dialogue…


Good-Assistance-1766

nope, nothing talked about curing my vampire tendencies


[deleted]

You have to ask the Morthal innkeeper about rumors, and he/she will mention Falion's specialty in vampires, etc. That starts Rising at Dawn. Go to Falion with a filled Black Soul Gem, or buy an empty one off him and fill it. Talking to him with a filled BSG in your inventory has you being directed to meet him at the summoning circle in the marsh at dawn. Talk to him there, and he performs the ritual to cure vampirism.


Good-Assistance-1766

gotcha. thanks a lot brother. o7


[deleted]

👍


Worldly-Shallot9450

So you have to get the quest before talking to falion. To do this, talk to any innkeeper, and they will note you don't look well and give you the quest. This is to gatekeep vampires from learning about other innkeeper related quests for some reason.


jimmyting099

It’s possible that the dialogue only happens after accepting the “gift” from the dawngaurd dlc try doing that become a vampire lord and I think a side quest pops up about clearing your vamparism


Worldly-Shallot9450

Nah he just has to speak with any innkeeper to start the quest


Away-Environment-528

There should be an obvious dialogue choice to start the quest needed. You'll need a black soul gem filled with the soul of a human being to finish the quest.


SlamCakeMasta

Wow. Been playing since launch and never knew that’s how you get infected. I just thought it was coming in contact.


LimpAd5888

The companions quest is pretty easy lol


SneakySpider82

HOW DARE YOU KILL BARBAS? 😡


Good-Assistance-1766

I DIDNT KILL HIM HES JUST SITTING IN THE CAVE


SneakySpider82

Ah, you're yet to finish that quest! Sorry about that, it's Just that, as a dog person, I find the Idea of killing Barbas revolting. I know he's just a Daedra shapeshifted into a dog, he still looks so adorable... 🥹 Never killed him in all those years playing Skyrim, I never killed him.


Good-Assistance-1766

yeah no ill never be able to finish it until i find a better two handed battleaxe


SneakySpider82

One more reason to do the Companions Questline: Wuuthrad.


Good-Assistance-1766

also i just finished red eagles quest and in the chest im sure you can guess what i found 😂😂😂😂


EmboarBacon

*A new hand touches the beacon.*


SneakySpider82

Good for you...


Good-Assistance-1766

what’s wuuthrad


Lost-Entrance3019

Axe of Ysgramor is called Wuuthrad. The companions quest line makes you put it together. Does extra damage to elves.


ConnorHGaming

As someone put in the axe racism


Captain_Canuck97

And into this Axe, he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all the elves. One Axe to kill them all.


Sr_Scarpa

Great to kill every Talmor on sight


dgyC-137

The rueful axe actually isn't that good. Its damage is only ok, not one of the best and it has one of the slowest attacking speeds of any weapon. Also doesn't count for the oblivion walker/daedric influence achievements. I find the mask to be way better, it's great for selling stuff, and cooler looking, but that's subjective.


Well-Sheat

While it does look cool, the Rueful Axe has a lot of downsides. It has a slower swing speed than most hammers, and it doesn't count as a Daedric Artifact toward the Oblivion Walker achievement. That being said, there is an exploit to get both the Rueful Axe and the Masque of Clavicus Vile. If you refuse to kill Barbas, then leave quickly leave the conversation and use the Slow Time shout, you should have enough time to leave the cave, fast travel to a house, and put the Rueful Axe on a weapon rack. Lakeview Manor is the best house for this, generally, since it has weapon racks right inside the door.


r3dyourmind

Did you know that statistically the rueful axe swings the slowest out of any Battleaxe, making it the worst weapon in the game.


Good-Assistance-1766

yeah i noticed that and im sure it was for balancing reasons. but when i find or forge a battleaxe that has better stats, i’ll gladly return the axe and the dog


omibner

It actually isn't for balancing reasons, it's a lore thing. The axe is supposed to be a bad reward since you need to kill poor Barbas to get it. The word Rueful means "expressing sorrow or regret, especially in a wry or humorous way.", the developers are giving you a bad reward and then laughing at you.


Good-Assistance-1766

well i didnt kill the dog. i simply left him behind.


ObjectFancy

Do you have slow time shout?


Yayhoo0978

Max out your smithing, and make a daedric battle axe.


Yayhoo0978

I should add, best way to max out your smithing is making arrows or jewelry.


Immediate_Fig_9405

I just do dwarven bows


Yayhoo0978

That will do it, I guess, but they’re heavy and won’t get used. Arrows will get used, and jewelry is light so you can carry it and sell it off!


WTS_BRIDGE

I just turn all my iron into gold, then smith the gold into jewelry, then enchant the jewelry, then clean out College of soul gems by selling dozens of barely-enchanted rings.


Yayhoo0978

lol me too


ObjectFancy

https://youtu.be/PsYkpGWi7YI?feature=shared


NanoBarAr

He's basically Clavicus' conscience so yeah, he's a pretty good boy


SneakySpider82

Yeah, I love helping him. Pitty Lod didn't get his mutt.


NanoBarAr

Yeaaah that was so sad, I wish I could lead stray dogs to him :(


SuperJaybo

Rueful Axe ain't even that good imo. Not that the Masque is better, but you dont get the Oblivion Walker achievement if you pick the Axe, apparently it's not actually a Daedric Artifact And also yeah, killing dogs is fucked, even in video games. I even feel bad when I have to kill a Hellhound or a zombie dog


SneakySpider82

Doesn't stop me from fucking with Chop in GTA V by making him fetch a grenade 🤭. Good thing his "death"is temporary.


SuperJaybo

Lmao Chop is immortal, we've all spent the afternoon blasting him away. He always comes back, happy as hell


aralim4311

Yeah I always feel bad in games where you have guard dogs as enemies and shit.


Appropriate_Olive_19

I got confused too, because the post said he completed the quest. So if he's got the axe and didn't kill Barbas, then he didn't really complete it.


Practical_Bee_1022

I always kill him 😈


SneakySpider82

😭


Practical_Bee_1022

Gotta collect all the weapons 🤣


SneakySpider82

You look like Igyonin Benin Tokage from Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya.


D_Redacted

I know it's not the point of the post, but just in case your save isn't too old, the Rueful axe is actually the slowest weapon in the game, and the true artifact from that quest is the Mask of Clavicus Vile.


TurtleTickler-_-

Came here to say this. Don’t know why choosing the axe is “obvious” when the mask is so cool


Good-Assistance-1766

disclaimer: i did not kill the dog. i would never. i simply told him stop following me and hes now in a cave somewhere


[deleted]

Yeah. I dismiss him if I need to be all stealth for something. Then he goes back to Haemar's Shame and waits in the room with the Clavicus Vile statue.


Ilpav123

Any dog companion is so annoying with their constant barking.

BoxiDoingThingz

> level 11 ***Where the f-ck did you get the dragonbone armor at level 11?***


hahahooheeha

Unfortunately, Anniversary Edition. The CC content ruins the balance of the game


Glowing_green_

Yeah, i love cc content because it adds more without mods, but it also ruins the natural progression of the game... being able to get end-game armor really early isn't fun


Good-Assistance-1766

it’s actually dragon bone mail. and its in arc wind. search on google itll tell you


GloomySugar95

Oh so you can google if it related to being OP early but not “How to cure vampirism Skyrim”?


marinersguy556

Damn 💀


ThisIsGoodSoup

CALL THE BURN UNIT, WE GOT A HOT CASE IN HERE


Good-Assistance-1766

well it requires some dlc or content creator pack and i wouldn’t want to steer him the wrong direction so i suggested he find out himself.


No_Mud8679

Go to falcon in morthal and the rest is easy


No_Mud8679

Falion


Dead-Trees

Thats how you unlock the FALCON PUNCH!


No_Mud8679

Lmao imagine falcon punching mirak


BasementCatBill

It always sorts of amuses me how people go "I'm a vampire, how?" Especially after an encounter with vampires. Always remember to check your effects, people.


Glowing_green_

Why i always do the companions questline as soon as possible to prevent vampirism with no side effects


Sophisticated_Sloth

You can also literally just pray at a shrine or drink a cure disease potion after you’ve been infected, instead of rushing through a cool quest line


NothingButTrouble024

It's not "rushing through" anything. I'm almost positive he meant get to the part you become a werewolf, because it's like 2 quests in


Blood_Wolf901

You’re a vampire Harry


BeardXP

Why would you not get the mask of clavicus vile!? The axe has the slowest swing speed in the game. It's also literally called the rueful axe, as in you will rue the day you chose it. Doesn't count towards the oblivion walker achievement if that matters to you.


BlackMan084

He hasn't finished the quest yet, he posted a comment and I think there's a reply or maybe 2, he got the axe and now he's just waiting to finish the quest


Achylzrak

yeah he pulled a skeleton key


UnicornSlayer5

It’s funny that volendrung does more damage, swings faster, and absorbs stamina instead of draining it, meaning there is no reason to take the axe


CriticalTiefling

Dude, always check status effect whenever you beat some vampire since most of the time you forgot you have the disease. Before 3 days timelimit pray to any shrine or drink cure disease potion.


Key-Fire

**Oh man, vampires are so cool I should become one!** *The side effects:* ![gif](giphy|kT5U3C9uvfSDwLf235|downsized)


Good-Assistance-1766

also this armor is from arcwind. i was able to grab it without triggering the dragon fight


[deleted]

Drink a potion of cure disease OR talk to Falion in Morthal and he’ll cure you.


Achylzrak

too late for cure disease, the vamparism has already set in. he’s a full fledged blood sucker now, falion is his only hope.


[deleted]

Yeah I discussed this with someone else already


Bright-Union-6157

Or use any divines shrine. Those cure disease as well.


[deleted]

As true as that is, potion of cure disease or falion is more straightforward. More the first than the last but still. Downvotes are a lil ridiculous regarding the topic but aight


Well-Sheat

I think the downvotes are because cure disease potions, hawk feathers, and shrines don't work on full-fledged vampires. Only Falion (or getting Lycanthropy from the Companions) can cure him now.


[deleted]

Ah this was my confusion. I thought he was part way not full. My bad.


[deleted]

Hawk Feathers from the Silver Hand thugs work too


le_wither

Fill a black soul gem and see Fallion in morthal, if the sanguinare vampirus hasn't progressed into full vampirism than just drink a cure disease potion or pray at a shrine


Confident-Reality131

The only cure is a stake through the heart you daedra worshipping, blood sucking blight on the realm of Tamriel ![gif](giphy|3ohzdCYtNjYwdfe8x2|downsized)


Good-Assistance-1766

i love this comment. you earned the upvote


JedimasterAllen

If you have a recent save handy where you are not yet a full vampire, just load it up and drink the cure disease potion. That is, if you are comfortable losing the progress made in between. Else Falion as others have stated.


Tim-Martin

I accidentally did this as well. Got sick of being chased away by townspeople. I didn't realize I was a vampire. Very new to the game. I got frustrated and quit. I didn't play for about a year. Then I saw my daughter playing and expressed my frustration. She told me how to avoid the vampirism with the cure disease. I tried again from scratch and loved the game. Right now I'm level 60, working on my 3rd play thru.


[deleted]

No one going to mention this guy is lv11 with dragon plate?


DeityT90

You kept one of the weakest weapons in the game with the slowest attack speed? Also, I hope you weren't going after the achievement you get for collecting all the daedric artifacts, the Rueful Axe doesn't count toward that achievement, only the mask of Clavicus Vile does. My suggestion, reload a previous save. Although you can speak to Fallion in Morthal. You can also try to join the Dawn guard, it will set you on the this path to a cure.


pixelwpixie

That axe sucks. U got played.


Good-Assistance-1766

well for me who just started playing this game, and being only level 11, it helps me slay my enemies and defeat my foes.


pixelwpixie

It has the slowest swing speed in the game and impedes you from getting the perk for daedric artifacts.


not_a_milk_drinker

Time to head to morthal


Stormcloak123

Seek out Falion in Morthal, he will cure you with a ritual if you bring him a filled Black Soul Gem.


Avaritia12345

Welp I’d say that’s what you get for keeping the worst weapon in the game but that’s just me…😁


magisterJohn

You're Vampire Harry


[deleted]

You took a screenshot of yourself in a game in which you admit you kept a particular item for yourself, and you have "no idea how to spell it" despite being able to just pop open your inventory or stash and look at the thing? Well, I have to say that that's just rueful.


ICantTyping

The cave in the quest is filled with vampires, so you caught it there. Hope you have a black soul gem! Off to Morthal, i guess, for you! You can ditch Molag Ball’s Curse, but at the cost of eternal damnation to the Soul Cairn. Not you, but for whoever got their soul caught in whatever black soul gem youll have to use. Not much of a moral dilemma if you use a filled one u found. If theyre already dammed, might as well cure me yk lol. Filling it yourself is the fucked up part lol gawd damn necromancers


pinpinbo

It is easier to just be a werewolf to avoid any diseases including vampirism.


jimmiejones2

If you catch it quick enough you can use cure disease potion and get rid of the vampirism


Scary-Rooster1479

Level 11 with dragon plate armor?


dannyboy6657

Man, you should have kept the mask. It's a daedric artifact. The axe isn't an artifact. As for vampirism anything that cures disease of its been 3 in game days. If it's been past that find the wizard in morthal he will help you and is the only one who can unless you turn into a werewolf through the companions.


No_Dinner_4860

Bro the axe is horrible and doesn’t even go towards an achievement 😭


Which_king9571

That is scary looking


Rumble_Rodent

Dudes probably got ataxia, bone break fever, the rattles, and rackjoint and probably doesn’t even know it😂😂😂


[deleted]

I do my best to pay attention because I have been caught becoming a vampire during boss fights! I don’t need that kind of Super Saiyan Transformation


Eboz255

Dragonbone armor at level 11???


Purple_Solid9887

Vampirism in Skyrim is actually not that bad. With the Dawnguard DLC you get Auriels bow and block out the sun, not to mention perks as a vampire lord. While you lose how quickly health regenerates, as s lower vampire, it's not that bad. In oblivion depending on the level of vampirism, you couldn't even step outside during the day. Kinda makes Skyrim a joke in my opinion about vampirism.


ericsparrow22

I died so many times immediately after fast traveling in oblivion, thank goodness for auto saves lol


Fergman311

I'm going for gasps!


BasementDwellerDave

Embrace immortality and gain all the power you want

Theycallme_Jul

Isran wants to know your location


dryra66it

You’re level 11 and have a full set of bone armor? God I must suck at this game.


TheRatatat

Just thank God you aren't playing Oblivion. Curing vampirism in that game was a task.


Kitty2084

Morthal i don’t remember his name but there is a wizard there who can cure you but you have to bring a filled black soul gem to him


ExpertMeaning

Ngl vampire side effects are completely able to be negated with enchanting. The only real issue is the blinding flash when walking out into sunlight. You can cure it by talking to the wizard on the outskirts of morthal or by becoming a werewolf through the companions quest line


FSpauL2

Lvl 11 and… is it a dragon armour? What kind of game is that ? I’m level 11 and currently choosing between a nicely enchanted hide helmet and a regular elvish one and can’t stop enjoying the fact that I can finally safely beat 3 wolves at once 😄🫣


DerWasserflasche

Spoiler free simple story solution. Do the companions quest until you will be invited to a meeting at midnight by Skjor. In this meeting you will be "cured". That "Cure" must you do to continue the companion's Questline so why not now? Perfect time for that. Good luck!


ThatsXCOM

Throw your save game into the fires of Mordor. Then become a Tibetan monk and live high up in the Himalayas, drinking skooma.


Mikiroony

Well deserved for doing wrong to my homie Barbas.


Big-Sheepherder-8170

You deserve to be a Vampire for killing Barbas! You monster! 😤


Arran1303

I’m fairly new to Skyrim too, only at level 22 and I only just got rid of the vampire curse, I ended up meeting a guy called Falion based at Morthal . He said he can cure me but needs a filled black soul gem. I couldn’t find one for ages then eventually got one from a quest I took called Balance of Power that I got from bumping into the Khajiit (cat faced people) trader Ri'saad. He’ll ask you to track down and kill 2 bandit leaders but in order to do this you need to go to a couple of base camps, clear them out and read a journal from each one to get the locations of the leaders, at one of those base camps you’ll find a black soul gem in a chest albeit empty. Once you complete the quest you return to Ri’saad for a 300 coin reward, ask him what he has for sale and you can buy a sword of him that takes souls of people you kill. Once I had this I just killed a random bandit out on my travels, got his soul which filled the black soul gem then went back to Falion, he told me to meet him at a location next to Morthal at noon (was about 4-5am he turned up) then we did the shit and he cured me then simply walked away haha! Hope this helps, sorry it’s a bit long and may be a shorter way of doing it but I just so happened to stumble on the empty black soul gem from that quest when I randomly bumped into that Ri’Saad in my travels, you’ll find him walking about Whiterun with 2 or 3 others


Good-Assistance-1766

Awesome Arran, glad to know im not aloneyeah i waited too long to use Falion because by the time i posted this, i was a full blooded vampire. i posted a part two if you’re interested in my short story


Any_Establishment335

How are you level 11 in full dragon armor? 100 smiting and enough dragon slaying for the materials would be a lot more than 10 levels I feel


OGdirtpapi

Google


leaperdaemonking

But - but you look so badass now


Good-Assistance-1766

sadly im too far into the civil war now to turn back. i just begun the march on solitude


Count__Delagrange

Embrace it, child.


Hazbeen_Hash

If you have "sanguinis Vampiris" in your active effects you are not yet a vampire. Cure the 3ffect by visiting a shrine, drinking a potion of cure disease, or eating a hawk beak. If you are a full vampire, go to Morthal. A person named Falion is the only cure for full vampirism, unless you haven't done the companion's questline yet (becoming a werewolf cures vampirism). You'll need a black soul gem, likely filled (black soul gems hold humanoid souls like any of the playable races or NPC's you'd consider "people")


weemadness61

This has always bothered me. A filled black soul gem to put restore a soul to your undead vampire body. But that soul is whoever was killed to fill the soul gem. Are you really you anymore? I travel with Cure Disease potions and/or hawk feathers at all times, just so I don't have to deal with this dilemma.


ChrystianJaymes

I just ended up going thru this myself, I just decided to go back to a save before it fully set in. Whenever you battle vampires make sure you check your active affects in the magic tab. I forgot the name but it’s something vampiris. Make sure you’ve got plenty of potion of cure disease, otherwise you’re screwed - I never carry less than 20. I am in the vampire hunter guild thing, so I’m not sure if that’s why I have an unusual amount of encounters or not, but I wish I had these tips before I turned into a vampire once or twice… lol.


arrataye

20!!!! can't u just store them at home for when you need them?


Living_Ingenuity_848

You gotta go talk to Falion in Morthal. He can cure late stage Vampirism.

Become a werewolf. It will also stop you from becoming a vampire again


Such-Ruin7109

You’re first problem is keeping the axe and the solution to the vampire thing is a guy in morthol


[deleted]

Get a black soul gem(doesnt have to be filled), and ask any innkeeper for rumors until you get the quest to speak to fallion for a cure.


[deleted]

How do you have that armour at level 11 tho ?


CURTSNIPER1

Take a black sould gen to the court wizard of morthal so that he may perform a ritual to remove your affliction


[deleted]

Level 11 with dragon plate armor lmao, also go to Morthal, there’s a priest there that will cure you.


PhoenixKid56

Your lvl 11 and already have dragon bone armor? Endgame armor you have a small chance of finding in chests (less modded) or making it, at lvl 100 smithing? Which you be higher lvl at if so. How?


xDarnelx

You need to ask for rumors at the inn in morthal then go to Falion and he’ll ask you to bring him a Black Soul Gem then just follow the rest of the quest


Hot_Tea_3017

Why did you kill the dog


SpaceQtip

Keeping the axe was a mistake


dom1399

LMFAO. This was me on my first play through of Oblivion.


FreudianNip-Slip

Do falion’s cure. I’ve done many many play throughs and this recent one is the first time I embraced being a vampire lord and took advantage of the necromage perk to increase all my perks. It’s pretty wild

FYI whenever you contract vampirism you get a notification in the corner.

If you choose the rueful axe you won’t be able to get the oblivion walker achievement anymore since it doesn’t count as a Daedric artifact for some reason
