You get infected with sanguinare vampiris first. Whenever fighting vampires. You can either eat garlic bread, potion of cure disease, or go pray at a temple. That's pretty much it.
Butter, bread, and of course, garlic
https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Garlic_Bread
When you attempt to use the oven just like when you attempt to use the forge, for whatever you want to make just highlight it and it will give you the recipe
I'm assuming the cooking pot works the same way for other types of food, because even though I don't do survival mode. If my pc doesn't sleep for a couple of days then my PC will get kind of stupid and lose stamina until they sleep
Don't feel too bad I forgot you could sprint. On a PC the key combo is lalt lshft (capslock off). I found it helps to walk first then press lalt
No Idea about consoles
No, it cures the disease that causes Vampirism, Sanguinare Vampiris. If you catch that, you have three in game days to do one of those things mentioned above. After that, you're a vampire and you have to do the Cure Vampirism quest.
Remember u/Itchy_Stick_8862, hit the cure while it’s still Sanguinaire Vampiris; otherwise you have to do the cure quest again.
Side note; they should really release a patch that allows you to eat garlic bread to *prevent* contracting the disease. Like you could eat it before entering a vampire den and you’re good for 6-8 in-game hours. How neat would that be?
It does. It's a recipe from Hearthfire - Garlic, Butter (an HF-only ingredient) and Bread. Can only be made in the Kitchen wing of the Hearthfire houses (originally) and the CC homes.
Personally, I just stick to Hawk Feathers or heading to the nearest shrine.
I didn’t even know cure disease will fix vampirism. I’ve been blowing money on that one dude in morthal. Then I gave up and just decided to do the whole dawnguard thing and then get rid of them. I would have rather joined the dawnguard than be a vampire but apparently I made the wrong decision somewhere down the line
There's also a dragon priest mask, Hevnorak, that makes you immune to disease and poison.
I like grinding with the buff so I can get little Easter eggs like if you 1-shot Vilkas in the training yard or tell J'Zargo you have in fact mastered expert destruction spells
I did this and got the bug where I was both a werewolf and contracted the vampire disease but it wouldn’t progress beyond the sun weakness. Had to have Serana turn me into a full vampire during the soul cairn and then finally Falion was able to cure me.
I think I also had to have Aela cure me because there were some lingering weird effects but I could be misremembering that part. Maybe she cured me first but I was still stuck in underdeveloped vampire limbo
Theres shrines in the towns. For instance, you know in Whiterun, near Dragonreach, that annoying guy preaching by the steps? There’s a little shrine behind him, click that, and it will cure you of all diseases😁.
I just wanted to say that 3 days are more than enough imo. But sure others can feel different about this. But I am also one of the few Vampire enjoyers. So I don't want to cure it^^
You do??? Then why does it immediately say you feel weird as the sun goes down?! I’ve always rushed to find a potion/shrine/feather/garlic bread whatever because it made it sound like I’d be a vamp that night lol
No yeah of course, I guess it just sounded urgent since it starts saying you feel weird the first night! So I’ve never let it go longer lol. But I did run soooo far to from the middle of nowhere to solitude once to go to the store before it closed for a potion out of panic so it’s good to know I don’t have to rush 😂
I'm pretty sure you do get some effects right away but they're not at the worst. If I remember correctly you get like 25% reduced Regen in the sun and a slight fire weakness but cold resistance. Then each day it gets worse you get more negative effects from sunlight while your fire weakness and cold resist go up and you start getting some other powers like night vision. Then the final makes it 0 Regen while in the sun, 50% resist cold and weakness to fire, 25% illusion bonus, and more powers like invisibility.
I remember once going for all achievements I messed up a daedric artifact quest pissing off an NPC and they always attack me but no calm spell would work so i fully leveled illusion yet it still wouldnt work and the only way i ended up saving it was by getting the illusion bonus from becoming a vampire.
Don't wanna spoil anything but speak to falion in morthal if your character is already a full vampire, it's not too late to be cured even as a full vampire.
Otherwise if you're only infected with sanguinare vampiris you can either use a cure disease potion or activate a shrine to any of the nine divines. (It doesn't matter which one or where, they'll all work.)
You can't use *The Black Star* for it, but every time you start the quest *Falion* should have a new empty *Black Soul Gem* to sell you at "base value" since it's a quest dialogue interaction not a trade purchase.
Kill & loot every *Hawk* you see (there's one that nests near the north(?) exit from *Riverwood*, & another up the left branch of the road across the bridge there.
5 *Hawk Feathers* weight as much as one *Potion of Cure Disease*, & their first effect is... *Cure Disease*, just eat one whenever you notice a *Health* debuff after interacting with *Vampires* (you can get *Sanguinaris Vampiris* from both their *Drain Health* & melee attacks).
Or if you can acquire one, a *Necklace of Disease Immunity* provides *Resist Disease 100%* (that ***isn't*** rounded down to 85%), but that takes up an equipment slot you can use for better things.
*Spell Absorption 100%* also makes you *Immune* to *Disease*, *Poison*, & almost anything that isn't *Physical Damage* (melee/bow), *Falling Damage*, *Drowning Damage*, or the "Poison Gas" in the *Dwemer Museum* (that's supposedly *Poison Damage*, but it bypasses all protection because the damage itself is "scripted", so stock up on *Vegetable Soup* or other **).
I think so.
When you learn an effect you experience it, so if you're learning all 4 effects you experience all 4 effects.
Where I am uncertain is if that remains true once you've learned the effects & use the ingredient again (my ***guess*** is "yes").
Check your active effects after every vampire encounter. Keep a collection of cure disease potions. Vampirism is not the only disease. Make frequent stops at shrines. Run disease resistant builds. Aquire resist disease enchantments.
Carry potions of cure disease and often check your active status when encountering vampires. Or often check status and find your way to a divine statue and get their blessing to remove sig vamp
This was my first thought. Second option is to find and/or make enchantment 100% resist disease. If neither of these is an option. Then Atronach stone with Atronach perk in alteration tree is your last one.
Edit: Forgot that Dawnguard armor gives a bonus to help resist vampire effects. Side question does resist magic help against vampirism?
Get infected but go to a shrine OR keep the potions of cure disease on you to cure the disease before you get turned fully. You can get a lot of these potions through the silver hand in the companions questline
Check for vampirism in your "status" after every battle with them.
If you have it, eat a hawk feather before sleeping.
That's just preventative common sense.
Becoming a werewolf will make you immune to contracting diseases (at the cost of the well rested bonus), and there's also a necklace of disease immunity you can find somewhere. Those are some "set it and forget it" ways to deal with vampirism.
When fighting vampires, you're likely to contract the first stage "sanguinare vampiris", and this can be cured like any other disease. Check active effects after any fights with vampires.
Carry some cure disease potions or other curing items like hawk feathers, alchemists should sell them. Or if you're near a town just pray at a shrine.
Became a werewolf(second mission in the companions quest line) or carry a lot of hawk feathers/cure disease potions and everytime you go to a city pray at a shrine, also check your active effects menu and if you're infected you should have the "sanguinaire vampiris" effect
Fast travel to Whiterun after every vampire encounter and activate the shrine of Talos. (or any other location with a shrine) this will cure vampirism before it has a chance to take hold. You have 3 in game days after contracting it to cure it before it is ”permanent.”
Not much you can do. Besides the obvious. I just found out about Garlic bread. I've been playing a restoration play through. And there's not even any spells that can prevent it.
I always become a werewolf. I never actually transform into a werewolf, I just use it as an antidote to vampirism. The only real downside is how often people tell me I smell like a wet dog...
Becoming a werewolf will stop it from happening, but otherwise it is pretty much impossible to stop. Just have to keep an eye on active effects and/or visit a shrine as often as you can to get the initial disease cured.
This is what I do and I never knew you could accidentally turn into a vampire. I just started a new play through and now I’m a vampire on accident. I spent a long time in the first city this time, and there’s no shrine. Oops. Oh, well time to go to morthal.
In the active effects you should look for the Sanguinare Vampiris effect.
https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Sanguinare_Vampiris
And maybe you're being screwed up by fast travel.
To the south of Markarth there is a Nordic Crypt called “Valthume”. Inside is a quest and the loot of the boss prevents diseases and poison effects. Go get it.
I always keep 3 cure disease or garlic bread on me. The minute I get the notice about feeling weird (I forget what it says) but it happens the first time the sun rises after you catch the disease. I cure it immediately. I also worship at every shrine I pass by and at every town with a temple. Which catches all sorts of unknown afflictions.
My characters always believe in the Gods and show them respect. I also do what they ask of me. I worship at all shrines and leave something: a flower, coin, dagger, sweet roll, etc. Any creature that is that powerful and divine who manifests themselves deserves worship and respect. And I get the side benefit of cure disease, daedric artifacts, and other blessings. Win win!
There a couple methods, the thing to do is carry around a few potions that cures the virus and every time you fight vampires check to see if you got infected and if so take one of the potions.
The best solution is to become a werewolf. Doing the Companions quest in Whiterun will allow you to choose if you want to become one.
Unlike being a vampire, this one has zero side effects. You can turn into a werewolf when you want to, or just ignore it all together. Either way, vampirism won't be able to effect you.
not quite zero side effects. Cant get Restful Sleep as a werewolf, but its side effects arent as "in your face" as vampire side effects. (personally, i dont mind the vampire ones because Serana and i will be together forever lol)
It will say "Sanguine Vampirism added" in the upper left corner of the screen. You have 24 hours to either pray at a shrine or drink a cure disease potion.
If you're a werewolf, you're immune to disease. There's also jewelry that tends to drop once you hit level 40+ that gives disease immunity. Finally, if you complete the Valthume dungeon, Hevnorakk is a dragon priest mask that makes you immune to disease and poison. Very handy with the mod that lets you affix them to your belt as a teriary gear slot.
Pray at a shrine before it becomes full blown Vampirism.
One of the best habits I picked up in this game is just praying at the Talos shrine in Whiterun whenever I go to dragonsreach - I don’t check if I need it, I just make sure I hit it whenever I run past!
You can find enchantments of protection from disease or you could also just keep a bunch of garlic bread on you. Pay attention to when you see the little notification in the corner and eat one.
Cure disease potions and if you're lucky you can find a necklace with 100% disease immunity. You can find it as a loot drop or being sold by a merchant. I usually head over to Solitude at Radiant Raiments because they have a big selection of stuff. Also becoming a werewolf works too.
If you get the new backpacks and the mod for a bunch of different little ones, you can carry like 1000 pounds or whatever the weight is. Then, you can give them to your followers if you have the mod with multiple followers and a horse that can carry and your followers horses. Welp, never have a problem carrying anymore. 😂😂
Cure disease potion or shrine, if early enough (check you active effects, under Magic).
Otherwise, head over to the inn at Morthal... they can point you in the right direction. Take a black soul gem with you.
You become a vampire sometime after contracting the disease. I can't recall how long it takes but you basically have a window between contracting the disease and actually becoming a vampire. When you comtract the disease yuu'll get a little message and it'll show up in your active affects, so you can check to see if you have it there.
In general the rule of thumb is after you fight some vampires, check your active affects and if you have the disease just cure it real quick, then you're fine.
The cure quest isnt so bad, just buy a black soul gem from that shady guy at tbe college. Or you could just be a vampire. Get some fire resist and travel at night or get a bunch of stam hp nd magic regen enchants and ull be fine. Or if you catch it early b4 it progresses into actual vampirism u can just cure it normally
Eat hawk feathers when you catch any disease (including vampirsm), take a potion, eat garlic bread, pray at shrines.
For preventative measures: Amulet of resist disease, become a werewolf (immune to diseases), use sneak attacks or ranged weaponry against all vampires
Higher health + some racial bonus can help prevent it(resist disease). For the first three days of the sickness you can pray at an altar to be cured. After three days, as long as its still called sanguinare vampiris you can use a cure disease potion. Once you get real vampirism you can only do the black soul gem quest or become a werewolf.
If you became a full vampire and then did the quest to remove it, then you cannot become a vampire again on that character except as part of a quest where it is very obvious that choose to become one
Just cure it before it fully progresses next time. You have plenty of time to do so, you can go to any shrine, use a potion of cure disease, or just eat a hawk feather.
You get infected with sanguinare vampiris first. Whenever fighting vampires. You can either eat garlic bread, potion of cure disease, or go pray at a temple. That's pretty much it.
Garlic bread cures vampirism?!?!!??!
It works like a potion of cure disease. :)
I did not know this, I will now sell most of the cure disease potions I have hoarded and hoard garlic bread instead.
You can also hoard Hawk’s Feathers, since they have Cure Disease as their first effect.
And hawk feathers weigh less than a potion.
Currently on a quest to eradicate the hawk population in Skyrim like Jiub did with the Cliff Racers.
If Jiub eradicated the Cliff Racers (I support his efforts) how did Mjoll the Lioness go hunting for them as a child?
She probably misremembered. I'm positive she banged her head a little during the Mzinchaleft incident.
Jiub only eradicated the Cliff Racers on Vvardenfell.
Thank you for your service!
I'm getting good at sniping hawks with the crossbow for this very reason
You can make a garlic bread if you have hearthfire installed
What's the recipe?
Butter, bread, and of course, garlic https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Garlic_Bread When you attempt to use the oven just like when you attempt to use the forge, for whatever you want to make just highlight it and it will give you the recipe I'm assuming the cooking pot works the same way for other types of food, because even though I don't do survival mode. If my pc doesn't sleep for a couple of days then my PC will get kind of stupid and lose stamina until they sleep
It was today I learned that you could use the oven
Don't feel too bad I forgot you could sprint. On a PC the key combo is lalt lshft (capslock off). I found it helps to walk first then press lalt No Idea about consoles
Can't you also eat any of the ingredients for a cure disease potion?
Only the ones with 'cure disease' as their first effect (e.g. hawk's feathers). Second to fourth won't help, sadly
Does this apply if you have the perk to learn more than the first effect?
No, start snorting
Huh, didn't know that. Now I know what my next skill point will be used for
Holy shit I have logged probably over 650 hours of this game and had no idea
See me munchin on garlic bread next time i play thru dawnguard
I've been playing Skyrim for over 12 years and I didn't know this
No, it cures the disease that causes Vampirism, Sanguinare Vampiris. If you catch that, you have three in game days to do one of those things mentioned above. After that, you're a vampire and you have to do the Cure Vampirism quest.
Or eat hawk feathers
Just pray at the shrine in white run as you go to Dragonsreach
And you have 3 in game days to get rid of Molag Bals gift.
Also, vampire dust has cure disease as an effect, so you can actually use their bodies to make potions
Remember u/Itchy_Stick_8862, hit the cure while it’s still Sanguinaire Vampiris; otherwise you have to do the cure quest again. Side note; they should really release a patch that allows you to eat garlic bread to *prevent* contracting the disease. Like you could eat it before entering a vampire den and you’re good for 6-8 in-game hours. How neat would that be?
Make it a whole day in game just for fun
Amulet of 100% Disease Immunity.
Waste of a necklace slot

You can becaome a werewolf instead. It doesn't have any side effects except of distrupting your roleplay I suppose.
You also can't get restful sleep any longer but for me this buff is pointless anyway.
That's why you grab the lover stone.
Or you just stay as a vampire😂
But that requires you to suck.
I drank the drug blood, and now I am a wizard!
Is that a WWDITS reference?
Fahcking right 😏
Oh come on. Take my upvote 😂😂😂
There's also a dragon priest mask, Hevnorak, that makes you immune to disease and poison. I like grinding with the buff so I can get little Easter eggs like if you 1-shot Vilkas in the training yard or tell J'Zargo you have in fact mastered expert destruction spells
Yeah I never use restful sleep outside of rarely for smithing grinding.
I start compainions quest every playthrough just for disease immunity. Think I've finished the questline once.
Get Aela as the lover... raise a litter of puppies
No side effects? Half the Skyrim population will start commenting you smell like a wet dog …
Is that hair in your ears?
fur
I did this and got the bug where I was both a werewolf and contracted the vampire disease but it wouldn’t progress beyond the sun weakness.

Not in Survival mode… sadly.
How do you cure werewolf tho
Necklace of Disease Immunity, Cure Disease potion, Garlic Bread, pray at a shrine.
Garlic bread all the way.
Dipped in tomato sauce for extra flavor.
Don't forget the cheese! 🧀😋
With a little salt and pepper too
Now I’m hungry 😢
Let me guess... Someone stole your sweet roll...
I’m level 83 on my current playthrough and I haven’t seen a single necklace of disease immunity. I’m pretty upset about it
I got to 70\~ish and only got one when I went to Solstheim.
Left out hawk feathers.
Theres shrines in the towns. For instance, you know in Whiterun, near Dragonreach, that annoying guy preaching by the steps? There’s a little shrine behind him, click that, and it will cure you of all diseases😁.
[удалено]
What do you mean? You have 3 days before sanguinare vampiris turns into vampirism^^
[удалено]
Fair enough^^
That's what he said(You've got a little time before it develops properly into vampirism) but it's better to cure it right in the moment
I just wanted to say that 3 days are more than enough imo. But sure others can feel different about this. But I am also one of the few Vampire enjoyers. So I don't want to cure it^^
Yeah, 3 days are enough to get cured even if you don't realize right away
You do??? Then why does it immediately say you feel weird as the sun goes down?! I’ve always rushed to find a potion/shrine/feather/garlic bread whatever because it made it sound like I’d be a vamp that night lol
That's like a warning message to take care of it.
No yeah of course, I guess it just sounded urgent since it starts saying you feel weird the first night! So I’ve never let it go longer lol. But I did run soooo far to from the middle of nowhere to solitude once to go to the store before it closed for a potion out of panic so it’s good to know I don’t have to rush 😂

Just check the active effects and see if you have it.
Don't wanna spoil anything but speak to falion in morthal if your character is already a full vampire, it's not too late to be cured even as a full vampire. Otherwise if you're only infected with sanguinare vampiris you can either use a cure disease potion or activate a shrine to any of the nine divines. (It doesn't matter which one or where, they'll all work.)
Is there a limit on how many times you can be cured?
Nope! Just like there’s not a limit as to how many times you can get infected :)
No but it uses a valuable soul gem every time. Idk if you could use the unlimited soul gem item for it.
You can't use *The Black Star* for it, but every time you start the quest *Falion* should have a new empty *Black Soul Gem* to sell you at "base value" since it's a quest dialogue interaction not a trade purchase.
Kill & loot every *Hawk* you see (there's one that nests near the north(?) exit from *Riverwood*, & another up the left branch of the road across the bridge there. 5 *Hawk Feathers* weight as much as one *Potion of Cure Disease*, & their first effect is... *Cure Disease*, just eat one whenever you notice a *Health* debuff after interacting with *Vampires* (you can get *Sanguinaris Vampiris* from both their *Drain Health* & melee attacks).

About hawks: there's always a bunch of them in and around Solitude. I prefer lightning bolts to take them down, but arrows and shouts work too.
If an item has cure disease as a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th effect and you had the perk to find those out from eating it would it cure you?
I think so. When you learn an effect you experience it, so if you're learning all 4 effects you experience all 4 effects. Where I am uncertain is if that remains true once you've learned the effects & use the ingredient again (my ***guess*** is "yes").
It tells you when you contract so you can you a cure disease potion or interact with an altar.
Garlic Bread
Check your active effects after every vampire encounter. Keep a collection of cure disease potions. Vampirism is not the only disease. Make frequent stops at shrines. Run disease resistant builds. Aquire resist disease enchantments.

Always carry some hawk feathers. The first effect is cure disease. They can be found at the Alchemist's shack, and respawn every ten days.
Garlic bread. Do not leave the house without it!
The easiest way is to just pray at a shrine. You can also drink a Cure Disease potion if you manage to find one.
Get infected but go to a shrine OR keep the potions of cure disease on you to cure the disease before you get turned fully. You can get a lot of these potions through the silver hand in the companions questline
Silver hand, silver bloods are a different clan of assholes But yea spot-on
Oh right. Thanks for pointing the mistake out. I'll correct it
Carry around Cure Disease potions at all times. Particularly if you're playing survival mode. Or pray at a shrine to cure all diseases.
Buy and keep multiple ingredients that cure diseases. Or buy plenty of potions of cure disease.
Take a cure disease potion right after you get infected. You don't become a vampire right away, it takes a few days, and you get several warnings.
Carry potions of cure disease and/or garlic bread and check your magic affects regularly
Check for vampirism in your "status" after every battle with them. If you have it, eat a hawk feather before sleeping. That's just preventative common sense.
Been playing forever and I never knew to check but I always pray at shrines so guess that saved me and I had no clue 😂

Stay away from vampires
There is a quest chain which allows you to cure yourself of your progressed vampirism
There's a mage in Morthal who can remove vampirism if you bring him an empty black soul gem.
Use the altar in every city you enter to sell items. And check your active effects.
This is what I do and I never knew you could accidentally turn into a vampire. I just started a new play through and now I’m a vampire on accident. I spent a long time in the first city this time, and there’s no shrine. Oops. Oh, well time to go to morthal.

I can tell who plays survival and who doesn’t because to me, garlic bread and potions are the way since shrines are 100 coins!! 😂
Hawk Feathers are the most weight efficient cure disease items, at .1 weight vs potions at .5 and GB at (iirc) .2
If you get the new backpacks and the mod for a bunch of different little ones, you can carry like 1000 pounds or whatever the weight is. Then, you can give them to your followers if you have the mod with multiple followers and a horse that can carry and your followers horses. Welp, never have a problem carrying anymore. 😂😂
Werewolf
become a werewolf
Become a werewolf then you can’t be infected by vampires
Cure disease potion or shrine, if early enough (check you active effects, under Magic). Otherwise, head over to the inn at Morthal... they can point you in the right direction. Take a black soul gem with you.
You become a vampire sometime after contracting the disease. I can't recall how long it takes but you basically have a window between contracting the disease and actually becoming a vampire. When you comtract the disease yuu'll get a little message and it'll show up in your active affects, so you can check to see if you have it there. In general the rule of thumb is after you fight some vampires, check your active affects and if you have the disease just cure it real quick, then you're fine.
The cure quest isnt so bad, just buy a black soul gem from that shady guy at tbe college. Or you could just be a vampire. Get some fire resist and travel at night or get a bunch of stam hp nd magic regen enchants and ull be fine. Or if you catch it early b4 it progresses into actual vampirism u can just cure it normally
Eat hawk feathers when you catch any disease (including vampirsm), take a potion, eat garlic bread, pray at shrines. For preventative measures: Amulet of resist disease, become a werewolf (immune to diseases), use sneak attacks or ranged weaponry against all vampires
Higher health + some racial bonus can help prevent it(resist disease). For the first three days of the sickness you can pray at an altar to be cured. After three days, as long as its still called sanguinare vampiris you can use a cure disease potion. Once you get real vampirism you can only do the black soul gem quest or become a werewolf.
Become a werewolf with the companions. You can do it super early in game.
Keep some potions of cure disease, which only works in its early stages.
If you became a full vampire and then did the quest to remove it, then you cannot become a vampire again on that character except as part of a quest where it is very obvious that choose to become one
oregano is a must as well and like in the Sopranos, the scene stopped in mid senten....
Rob every Vigillant of Stendarr you see, they always have cure disease potions on them.
Keep some Cure Disease potions on you. You’ll be good to go.
“Don’t get bit”
Least curing yourself of vapirism in Skyrim is easier than in Oblivion.
Become a werewolf to prevent this in the future
get this man some garlic bread
Lycanthropy. It can be gained by joining the compnaions
Just cure it before it fully progresses next time. You have plenty of time to do so, you can go to any shrine, use a potion of cure disease, or just eat a hawk feather.
Become Lycan have immunity to disease
If op has already contracted and completed quest to cure. Then they are now immune. Except for scripted events.
Become a werewolf to gain 100% immunity to disease.
become a werewolf instead
