So you got tired of running around in the darkness or from people not talking
to you? Then this is where you want to be. There is a cure for being a
vampire, but not till you've done this short quest.
To start off, you must talk to a prist about a "Cure for Vampirism". Or the
alternative could be to ask Vicente Valtieri, in the Dark Brotherhood. They
tell you to talk to Raminus Polus at the Arcane University. After speaking to
Polus, he directs you to Count Janus Jassildor in Skingrad, who also has been
searching for a cure.
Talk to Hal Liurz to get through to the Count and he'll explain that he wants
a cure for his wife, who has also being infected. Your quest journal explains
that you must find a woman near the Corbolo River who may be a which andmay
know a cure for vampirism. Her house is right next to the river. She gives
you a task to find five empty grand soul gems, and she will tell you what she
knows.
The easiest way to find grand soul gems if you don't already know is to steal
from the mages guild, or buy them from the mages guild. Either way, once you
have them, talk to the witch who will tell you she can create a cure but has
more tasks for you to do. She says she needs:
- 6 Garlic Cloves
- 2 Bloodgrass shoots
- 5 nightshade leaves
- Argonian Blood
- Ashes of a vampire
-The garlic is easy enough, as it is everywhere, an easy place to look would
be a farm, or if you need more assistance, at Weynon Priory. Look around in
peoples houses, and dinner plates.
-Bloodgrass can be easily found in Oblivion, however if you have finished
the main quest this may be a bit tricky. Just try to run around old
Oblivion Gates and you may find some around on the ground.
-Nightshade can be found from nightshade plants, you can find these between
Bravil and Skingrad as they seem to grow here. They can also be found in
the Arcane University.

-TheArgonian blood is also easy, any blood of an Argonian will do, as long as
you don't get caught.
-The vampire ashes however cannot be from any vampire, you must travel to Red
Water slough to seek out Hindaril. Travel through the dungeon, kill the
vampire, and collect his dust.
** If you have the Wizard's Tower add on and have finished it you can have
access to a garden which is an area with every plant in Oblivion. This is
and easy way to get the nightshade as well as other plants. **

When you deliver the ashes to Melisande, ask her about the cure and she'll
start cooking the cure up for you. Wait a day and collect your potion, and
head back to castle Skingrad.
Back at the castle talk to Hal Liurz and tell her you have the cure. You'll
be lead to a secret door, to a secret area. You will see the Counts wife,
Rona in bed, with the Count and the witch Melisande. Apparently, the witch
agreed to revive the Countess long enough for her to drink the cure, which
she does. The countess drinks the potion and then talks to her husband, just
before dying.
Come back after a day and then see Hal Liurz again, when you see the count,
he'll give you some gold, and you can turn back into a normal human being.
However, you'll lose all your abilites and resistances, would it really be
worth it? Whether you choose to cure yourself or not, the quest is over, and
you'll have the ability to change back.
