How to Check if You Have a Disease

Before trying on the cures, it’s important to confirm first whether you’re actually infected with a disease. There are over 30 diseases that exist in Oblivion Remastered which can affect your skills such as Agility, Strength, Intelligence and more. Here’s how you can check if you’ve contracted an ailment:

  1. Open your menu and navigate to the Magic screen
  2. Tab over to the skull icon labeled “Active Effects”
  3. Scroll through the list to find any disease effects and their impacts on your character

Now, if you find any disease listed then you’ll have to cure it as soon as possible. The longer you’re infected, the more your attributes get drained.

All Disease Curing Methods

Fortunately, these steps on how to cure disease in Oblivion Remastered are easy and direct to follow. Any method with the “Cure Disease” effect instantly removes all diseases affecting the character. However, Vampirism would need a different approach to reverse its effect. 

Consume Ingredients with Cure Disease Effect

The simplest method available in Oblivion Remastered is by acquiring and consuming an ingredient with the “Cure Disease” effect. These listed ingredients will provide the healing that you need against the diseases:

  • Mandrake Root
  • Root Pulp
  • Clannfear Claws

Drink a Potion of Cure Disease

Another method on how to cure disease in Oblivion Remastered is by drinking a potion. There are two ways you can try to acquire these Cure Disease potions:

  1. Purchase them from alchemists throughout Cyrodiil
  2. Craft them yourself using ingredients with the Cure Disease effect

However, if you have a high enough Alchemy skill, you can create these potions by using the necessary ingredients as listed:

  • Elf Cup Cap
  • Red Kelp Gas Bladder
  • Hunger Tongue
  • Withering Moon

Cast the Cure Disease Spell

You can also opt to purchase and cast “Cure Disease”, a Restoration spell to treat your ailment. Once you’ve cast this spell, it’ll instantly cure all diseases you’ve contracted. This can be purchased from various priests and Healers at 140 gold. 

  • Avrus Adas: Great Chapel of Zenithar (Leyawiin)
  • Isa Raman: Great Chapel of Talos (Bruma)
  • Ohtesse: Great Chapel of Arkay (Cheydinhal)
  • Orag gra-Bargol: Chapel of Stendarr (Chorrol)
  • Trevaia: Chapel of Dibella (Anvil)
  • Tumindil: Great Chapel of Julianos (Skingrad)
  • Uravasa Othrelas: Great Chapel of Mara (Bravil)

Visit the Altar of the Nine

Lastly, visiting an Altar of the Nine in any major city will also provide the healing needed. Simply visit the Great Chapel to pray at the altar then it will cure all diseases at no cost. It is easy and won’t require you to spend any resources.

Common Diseases and Their Effects

These diseases are the frequent ones that you might encounter in the game. Usually, they drain your strength and speed after contracting these diseases. It can either be from specific enemies or interactions like Brain Rot by fighting rats. These diseases below are the common ones you might get in Oblivion Remastered:

  • Ataxia: Drains Strength and Agility by 5 points each
  • Brown Rot: Drains Strength and Personality by 5 points each
  • Collywobbles: Drains Strength, Endurance, and Speed by 10 points each
  • Helljoint: Drains Agility and Speed by 5 points each
  • Porphyric Hemophilia: Drains Fatigue by 5 points and will turn you into a Vampire after 3 days if left untreated
  • Yellow Tick: Drains Strength by 5 points and Speed by 10 points

Special Note on Vampirism

There is a major difference between Porphyric Hemophilia and full Vampirism in the game. The Porphyric Hemophilia is a disease contracted from vampires. Meanwhile, Vampirism is a disease that transforms you fully into a vampire. 

  • If left untreated for 3 days (72 hours), Porphyric Hemophilia will develop into full Vampirism
  • The standard “Cure Disease” effect will cure Porphyric Hemophilia but NOT Vampirism
  • Curing Vampirism requires a specific, more complex quest

If you notice you’ve contracted Porphyric Hemophilia, cure it immediately unless you actually want to become a vampire.

Console Commands for Curing Disease

Another method that PC players can use to efficiently cure their disease is by configuring the console commands. However, use console commands sparingly, as they may affect immersion or progression in certain quests.

  1. Opening the console with the tilde key (~)
  2. Typing: player.AddItem 0000920E 1
  3. This adds a Potion of Cure Disease to your inventory, which you can drink to cure all diseases

Conclusion

These are all the ways how to cure disease in Oblivion Remastered. It is actually simple and easy as long as you manage to acquire the necessary items like potions, spells, or ingredients. If none of these methods are available, then you can opt to visit The Great Chapel and pray at the Altar of the Nine.
