Hello everyone and welcome to my Vampire Guide for the Elder Scrolls Online
My name is Tianlein and today i will show you three different ways to become a Vampire,
a walkthrough of the Vampire Quest "Scion of the Blood Matron",
how and where you can cure Vampirism, an overview about the Vampire Skills and Passives
and what are the Pros and Cons of Vampirisim
If you want to go direct to a specific topic take a look in the description
One way to become a Vampire is that you try to get infected by special NPC Bloodfiends.
It is not needed to kill this Bloodfiends, once you are infected you can run away and
allow other players to get the disease from the same enemy
You can find this Bloodfiends at some nights in the Rift, Reaper`s March and Bangkorai.
To be honest i found it pretty hard to find these Bloodfiends but i can show you two spots
in the Rift where i can confirm that they spawn
The first location is South of the Skald's Retreat Wayshrine and not far away from the
Frostmoon Farmstead
The second location is West of Nimalten not far away form the Nimalten Wayshrine
If you play on PC you can use the Addon Destinations and activate the Vampire/Werwolf Locations
to get an idea where the Bloodfiends can be
I didnt manage to find any Bloodfiends at the suggested locations but maybe yo have
more luck than i had.
If you know any Bloodfiend Location and maybe the times when they spawn please share them
in the comments below
An easier way to become a Vampire is to get bitten by another Player who has the Blood
Ritual skill unlocked and has not given the gift to anyone else in the last week
Players already infected with Lycanthropy cannot be infected with Vampirism
You have to meet the Vampire Player at a Vampire Ritual Shrine which are located in The Rift,
Reaper`s March and Bangkorai
In the Rift the Vampire Altar is east of Shor`s Stone
The Vampire Altar in Bangkorai is between Evermore and Pelin Graveyard
In Reaper`s March the Vampire Altar is next to Ushmal's Rest
After you got infected by Vampirism you have to complete the Quest Scion of the Blood Matron
At the Vampire Ritual Shrine a Scroll will appear which will direct you into the crypt
under the altar
Inside you will meet Rahaja who wants you to experience the Vampire story yourself.
First you must drink from the basin of suffering and see a vision
After that you have to profane the symbol of Molag Bal
On the other side of the room you have to drink from the basin of loss and experience
another vision
Then you have to profane the symbol of the Forsaker
With both symbols destroyed enter in the middle of the room the pool of black water
Vampires will start to drain your blood and a woman will command you to kill 10 cultists
in the tunnels
After you killed all cultist return to the pool and speak again to Lamae Bal
You will complete the Scion of the Blood Matron quest and receive the Vampire Skill line
Of course you can buy Vampirism in the crownstore too
For 1500 crowns you will get direct the Vampire Skill line and the Scion of the Blood Matron
Quest will be skipped
If you have the wish you can cure yourself from Vampirism
You just have to visit a Priest of Arkay
In the Mages guild Hall hall in Riften in the Rift,
or Evermore in Bangkorai or Rawl'kha in in Reaper`s March
you have to speak to Prelate Sabinus who will cure you for a small gold dontation.
Next i will show you an overview of the Vampire Abilities
To advance in the Vampire Skill line you have to gain Experience
The Vampire Ultimate is Bat Swarm and you need level 5 in your Vampire Skill Line to
access this ability
Bat swarms deals magic damage to nearby enemies every 1 second for 5 seconds
Clouding Swarm deals magic damage to nearby enemies and you can use this ability again
to instantly teleport to an enemey and deal extra magic damage
Devouring Swarm deals magic damage to nearby enemies every second for 5seconds
and the bats heal you for each damaged enemy.
Then you gain two new abilties from the Vampire Skill Line:
Drain Essence stunnes the enemy,deals magic damage and restores 20% of your missing health
every 1 second for 3 seconds
Invigorating Drain deals magic damage, restores 20% of your missing health and generates Ultimate
and Accelarating Drain deals magic damage, restores 20 % of your missing health
and gives you minor expedition which increases your movement speed by 10%
Mist Form reduces your damage taken by 75% for a short amount of time
Entering this form grants you immunity to all disabling and immobilization effects,
but you cannot be healed and your Magicka Recovery is disabled
Elusive Mist has the same effects than the mist form skill but gives you also Major Expedition
which increases your movement speed by 30 % for 4 seconds
Baleful mist has also the same effects as the mist form skill but deals additionaly
magic damage to nearby enemies
Then we have 6 passives skills
Savage Feeding sets your taget after feeding of balance and stuns it
at rank 1 for 2 seconds and then at rank 2 for 4 seconds.
Supernatural Recovery increases your Magicka and stamina recovery by 5%,
on rank 2 by 10% while your Vamirism stage is 2 or higher
If your reached Level 6 at the Vampire Skill Line you can get the Blood Ritual ability
The Blood Ritual allows you to infect another player with vampirism once every 7 days by
returning to the Vampire ritual site
Players already infected with Lycanthropy cannot be infected with Vampirism
Undeath reduces your damage taken up to 33% based on your missing health while you are
below 30% and Rank 2 below 50 % while your Vampirism
Stage is 3 or higher.
For the Dark Stalker ability you have to be in your Vampirism Stage 4
this Skill ignores the movement speed Penalty while sneaking and decreases the time to crouch
by 50% during night
It is important to notice that you can progress through four stages of vampirsim
The time between stages of vampirism is 6 hours, and casting any Vampire ability will
advance this timer by 30 minutes This Vampirisim stages effect your Health
Recovery, your weakness to fire and how much your vampire abilites cost
Also you will see changes in your skin color, especially your face, in the different vampirism stages
Stage 1 has no extra effects and you you will recognize a slightly change on your skin color
and that you have a bit red eyes.
In Stage 2 your Health Recovery will be 25% slower, you get +15% damage from fire and
your Vampire Abilites cost will be reduced by 7%
Your Skin will get a bit more pale and you will get more red eyes
In Stage 3 your Health Recovery will be 50% slower, you will get +20% damage from fire
and your Vampire Abilites cost will be reduced by 14%
The Skin color will change further and you will also recognize more changes at your face
and eyes
In Stage 4 your Health recovery will be 75% slower, you will get +25% damage from fire
and your Vampire Abilites cost are reduced by 21%
Now you have a total pale skin and you will see strong changes at your face with a lot
of visible veins
With the passive Skill Unnatural Resistance the health recovery penalities through stages
2,3 and 4 are reduced to 0%, 25% and 50%
If you want to lower your Vampirism stage you have to feed on a humanoid creature
Sneak behind a target until you get the prompt to feed
On PC you have to Press the X key
On XBox the Y + B Buttons
Then your character will start to pull blood from your victim.
Feeding as a vampire reduces your vampire stage by 1
Last but not least we talk about the advantages and disadvanteges of beeing a Vampire
We start wit the postive aspects of beeing a Vampire
For example you get with the Sunernatural Recovery Passive
10% Magicka and Stamina Recovery
Then the Undeath passive reduces your damage taken by 33% based on your missing health
while you are below 50% health
while you are in Vampirism Stage 4 you ignore the Movement Speed penalty while Crouching
This gives you great mobility especially in PvP
But there are also some negative aspects of beeing a Vampire
One negative aspect is that you receive 25% more damage from fire
If you are afraid of the extra fire damage, you can always feed and lower your Vampirism Stage
Also you could use some some flame resistance enchants on your jewelry
If you are a Dunmer your Racial Skills will help you since that increases your Flame resistance
Then you should be aware that you have maybe get used to your slower health regeneration
Additionaly if you don`t want to stay in the Stage 4 you have to remember to feed and maintain
your desired Vampirism Stage
In PVP you will be more weak to Fighter Guild abilities
With the Skilled Tracker passive the Fighters Guild abilities deal additional 20% to you
As mentioned before the biggest visual change is visible on your skin and face
I guess it depends on your taste if that is a good or bad change for your character
