Question

Can I turn someone else into a vampire?

Community Answer

Yes, but only your spouse on in the vampire quest line. Some spouses, such as Aela the Huntress, are immune to vampirism, so watch out.

Question

How much does it cost to be a vampire?

Community Answer

It doesn't cost anything but your skin. Your skin will become pale or at least your face will. And you will not gather stamina during daylight and will lose your vampiric power if you feed on someone. Also, if you are in the thieves guild, you cannot get your face redone.

Question

Can you be a werewolf and have a vampire as a follower?

Community Answer

Yes. This question cannot be answered in detail because of heavy spoilers. However, during the Dawnguard questline, you gain a vampiric follower regardless if you become a vampire or not.

Question

How do I go to other levels so that I get more vampire abilities?

Community Answer

See the first part of Part 3 of the article: Balance your positive and negative effects. Every 24 hours after becoming a vampire, you will progress to the next "Stage" of vampirism. There are four possible stages, with increasing bonuses and negative effects.

Is there a scroll to use when trying to become a vampire?

You'll need to have the dawn guard downloadable content (dlc) and meet an NPC in Winterfell. She will later take you to her castle and then you have to complete some quests and then you will be given the power to become a vampire.

Question

Where do I go to get the power of a vampire lord?

Community Answer

If you mean, how do you become one, you need to talk to Harmon after returning his daughter, and he will make you a vampire lord. If you just don't know how to use the ability, go to Magic, then to Powers, and select Vampire Lord. After that, press the Shout button.

With each time they use vampiric abilities on you, there is a ten percent chance you will contract the vampire disease. That is the first stage of it. Read the article for more institutions.

Question

If I am a werewolf, will it turn me into a vampire?

Community Answer

Depends on whether you're being turned as part of a ritual, or catching the porphyric hematophage. In the former case, you lose your werewolf abilities and become a vampire. In the second, you cannot catch the disease, as werewolves are immune to all diseases, including the one that would cause vampirism.

Question

Okay, so I have Skyrim Special Edition, and I'm currently at Stage four of vampirism, yet nobody is attacking me in the holds. Why is this?

Community Answer

After the Dawnguard expansion, Stage four of Vampirism no longer causes people to be automatically hostile towards the player in order to address game balance.

If I cured Serena can I still become a vampire?

Community Answer

Without the use of console commands on the PC version, you cannot become a Vampire Lord once Serana is cured. However, you can still contract the Sanguinaire Vampiris disease from vampires' attacks and become an ordinary vampire.
