Here’s How to Become a Vampire in Oblivion Remastered

After fixing the PC settings and picking out the best birthsign, if you want to know how to become a vampire in Oblivion Remastered you have come to the right place. While playing as a vampire has some serious drawbacks, which we’ll talk about later on, it is certainly a fun way to play the game. Vampires have powerful buffs and unique spells but must avoid sunlight and feed regularly. Since we’re no vampires, so here’s Count Dracula to help explain the process of “vampirism” in The Elder Scrolls IV.

Ah, welcome, mortal, to the dark and shadowed path that few dare to tread. To walk this cursed road, you must understand both the blessings and the curses that come with it. If you crave a challenge and yearn to embrace the night, here’s how to become a vampire in Oblivion Remastered.

How to Become a Vampire in Oblivion Remastered

The swiftest path to vampirism lies within the Barren Cave, a dark lair found on the east road from Imperial City, en route to Cheydinhal, just beneath the Blue Road.

Within this cave dwell two hostile vampires, creatures of the night. Allow them to strike you, to taste your blood, until your screen whispers the dread words: Porphyric Hemophilia. This is the first mark of your cursed fate. Once infected, flee the cave and do not seek cure.

Now, you must wait three days in the mortal world, untouched by healing magics. On the third night, find a bed and surrender to sleep. Upon awakening, a message will confirm your new existence — you are now a vampire, a creature of darkness and eternal hunger.

Disadvantages of Being a Vampire in Oblivion Remastered

But beware, fledgling vampire, for the night is not without its perils:

• The sun’s cruel light will burn you to ash. Step outside during the day, and your flesh will wither with every passing moment.
• Fire, the eternal enemy of the undead, sears your cursed form.
• At the darkest stage, mortals will shun you, refusing to speak or trade, making your quest a lonely one.
• To escape this fate, you must feed upon the sleeping mortals of Tamriel, lowering your vampirism stage and staving off the worst of the curse.

How to Feed as a Vampire in Oblivion Remastered

To survive, you must feed. Seek out sleeping humanoid victims under the cloak of night. Sneak silently into their chambers and drink their life essence. This act will return you to the first stage of your vampiric power.

But beware! Should you be caught, the city guards will hunt you relentlessly, and your dark reign may end in flames.

And so, mortal, you now know how to become a vampire in Oblivion Remastered. Embrace the night, wield your dark powers, and walk the shadowed path with caution and cunning.
