Lets turn into a Skyrim werewolf.
Like Vampires, Werewolves are much fancied for their beastly powers.
Personally, it is super thrilling to run wild and kill adversaries with just bare hands.
What does it mean to be a Skyrim Werewolf?
Subsequently, one kills and feeds to increase the in-wolf durations and the powers that come attached.
In short, its fun and feels supremely powerful while fighting giants, cave bears, etc.
But there are both sides to it, and you should know it before choosing this bloodthirsty gameplay style.
Additionally, the beast has its own perk tree and is immune to diseases.
And finally, you would get assistance from any nearby wolf if you dont attack them.
Drawbacks
Consequently, you also cant place markers in the beastly form.
So, you would be running based on the destinations pre-set as a human.
Besides, a werewolf has no access to potions or magic spells.
This also means that health regeneration is only possible with feeding.
1 feed equals 30 additional in-wolf seconds
Moreover, you cant undo the werewolf form per your will.
Alternatively, you’ve got the option to speed up the time to get out of it.
Lastly, you’re free to initiate the doors as a wolf but cant lockpick.
And did I forget to mention the obvious lack of ranged attacks while youre a wolf?
So, these were a few things to take note of upfront.
But lets wolfify your Skyrim gameplay if you still think the grass is greener on the other side.
Becoming A Skyrim Wolf
One can contract lycanthropy by completing a blood ritual during The Companions questline.
These guys are the warrior band of Whiterun with headquarters in the Jorrvaskr.
Subsequently, he will direct Vilkas (sitting on his right) to test your worth.
Afterward, its basically following the storyline and doing a few tasks given by the companions.
This is also where you first witness a human-to-werewolf transformation.
Next, you wake up as a werewolf just outside the Underforge.
you might obtain this by completingIll Met by Moonlightquest in Falkreath.
This will have you turn into a werewolf by pressing the power key as per will without any restrictions.
To reiterate, there is a bounty on any witnessed transformations, no maps, no lockpicking, etc.
Still, here it is if you want a way out of this impurity.
There are two instances where one can cure themselves.
First, immediately after completing Glory of The Dead.
And second, after purifying Vilkas and Farkas, one at a time.
This happens precisely after you complete two quests (Retrieval and Rescue Mission) and starts Bloods Honor.
This activation brings a werewolfs wolf spirit that needs to be slayed to cure the specific companion.
And though you’re able to just kill a single witch, take her head, and return.
The best would be to take every witchs head to cure everyone back in Jorrvaskr.
This completes Bloods Honor.
Here you see Kodlaks spirit, and the conversation ends with you activating the Flame of the Harbinger.
Next, you’re able to keep asking for work with Vilkas and Farkas.
Finally, one of them opens up about a personal issue.
This starts Purity, where Farkas accompanies you back to the Ysgramors Tomb.
Anyway, it will be a short trip without any obstacles.
If you are wondering, no, Aela doesnt have any problem with lycanthropy.
So, this brings an end to this Skyrim werewolf guide.
Being a Skyrim Werewolf is Fun!
Wolves are powerful creatures with a special set of beastly abilities.
Being a vampire makes you a magical creature of the night with some daylight limitations.
