Vampire Cure ( Oblivion ) Vampire Cure is a quest in . Background . If the Hero is bitten by a vampire , contracts Porphyric Hemophilia , and does not cure themselves of the disease ( using the same methods by which they could cure any other disease ) within three days , they will become a vampire . While this is normally a permanent condition , it is possible to cure the disease , even after becoming a full vampire . Walkthrough . The first step is to talk to Raminus Polus in the Arcane University , located in the Imperial City about vampirism . He will refer the Hero to Count Hassildor of Skingrad . Upon arrival at Castle Skingrad , find Janus Hassildor ' s steward , Hal - Liurz , in order to contact Hassildor . Once Hassildor comes , he explains that he and his wife are vampires . He lives with the disease , but his wife , Rona Hassildor , could not , and slipped into a coma . Hassildor wants the cure , and tells of a witch that lives near the Corbolo river , south of Cheydinhal in Drakelowe . Travel to Drakelowe and talk to the witch Melisande . She will say that she requires five empty grand soul gems before she will help with the cure . Once these are delivered , she asks for a number of ingredients to make the cure . Most can be purchased , however , it may become difficult to buy items when in the advanced stages of vampirism . Blood of an Argonian . To get the blood , use the dagger provided by Melisande to stab any Argonian in the game . There are a number of ways to go about this : Vampire Dust . The Hero must kill the vampire Hindaril , found in Redwater Slough off of the Panther River . Hindaril is behind a door with a very hard lock . The key is beyond an underwater passage and in a chest . Once he is found he may be attacked immediately , before he arms himself . Conclusion . Return to Melisande and talk to her . After a day , she will have a potion ready . She will give the Hero both a consumable version , and a miscellaneous item version for Rona ; however , drinking the potion early may bug the quest . Return to Skingrad and talk to the steward again . She will lead the Hero to the Chamber of the Lost , where Melisande will attempt to cure Rona . After two days , the count will tell the Hero to return in another twenty four hours and talk to the steward . Doing so will reward them with a decent amount of gold — 1 , 000 or higher , as the amount is leveled . The cure potion may now be consumed safely . Alternative solution . With the official Vile Lair add - on , after upgrading it , it is possible to cure vampirism at any time using the Font of Renewal in the Vile Cloister and the Purgeblood Salts found near it . This can be done as many times as desired . This does not finish the Vampire Cure questline , or remove it from the quest log ; it simply cures the Hero ' s vampirism .
