This open-world RPG has plenty of different locations to explore and ways to customize your character and play the game. One of the most popular for new players is to become a vampire. Vampirism has some huge benefits to stealth gameplay and offers access to a slew of unique abilities.

One setback to being a vampire, however, is that it makes venturing into the daylight difficult, as you won’t regenerate health and mana the same way you would as a human. With this being the case, you may decide that you no longer want to be a vampire, and fortunately, ridding this form is quite easy.

How to cure vampirism in Skyrim

If you want to cure vampirism in Skyrim, here are the steps to follow:

  • Firstly, travel to Falkreath and locate the Deadman’s Dream bar.
  • Once you’re inside, speak to the bartender Valga Vinicia and select the option “Heard any rumors lately.”
  • Now, fast travel once again to Morthal and locate Falion, who at night can be found outside the city and inside during the day.
  • Speak to Falion, ask about vampirism, and purchase the Black Soul Gem from him, which will cost 156 Gold.
  • Next, you’ll need to fill the soul gem by either killing an enemy human with an enchanted weapon or a soul trap spell.
  • Simply return to Falion once again and he’ll ask to meet you at a summoning circle at dawn.
  • This is where you’ll want to go, but don’t show up blood starved otherwise he’ll begin to engage you in combat.
  • If properly fed, Falion will perform a ritual, curing you of vampirism.
