The Dragonborn is i of the most powerful beings on Nirn, using the power of the Thu'um to decimate enemies and slay dragons. Not even the Vocalism is plenty for some players, as Skyrim too allows you to become a vampire or werewolf to gain unique transformation modes.

Known as Lycanthropy, those that can plow into werecreatures are terrifying to face. Players can obtain the power of Beast Form through a certain questline, allowing them to turn into a werewolf whenever they see fit. It's an extremely powerful ability in the early game that nearly melee builds should consider taking. Let'southward get over how you can become a werewolf in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

How To Become A Werewolf

Skyrim Werewolf

At that place are two primary ways of condign a Werewolf in Skyrim:

  1. Progressing through the Companions' main quest
  2. Wearing the cursed Ring of Hircine during the "Ill Met past Moonlight" quest

The second scenario is so niche that the kickoff option is your only practical selection. You can discover the Companions in Whiterun inside The Circle. Speak to the various NPCs there to join the guild, starting their main quest.

The Silvery Mitt

One of the Companion's main quests, "The Silverish Hand," is where players will go to contract Lycanthropy. During the quest, it'southward revealed that the high-ranking members of the Companions all have Lycanthropy. They bestow yous with their "gift" before you lot storm a Silver Hand stronghold. Once you lot receive Lycanthropy, y'all'll have it permanently unless you perform a certain ritual at the end of the Companions' quest.

Curing Lycanthropy

Skyrim Hagraven

There is merely 1 way to remove your werewolf blood in Skyrim, and it only becomes bachelor at the very end of the Companions' main questline. If you lot want to become a vampire or vampire lord, you'll need to purge your werewolf claret first.

Throughout the second one-half of the Companions' quest, y'all'll be tasked with decapitating the heads of the Glenmorii witches. These heads can exist burned during the Companions' final quest, "Glory of the Dead," to cleanse Kodlak Whitemane's Lycanthropy. Y'all can use one of these heads on yourself at the cease of the quest to remove the "souvenir" from yourself. This ritual will remove your Beast Form Power entirely, also disabling Band of Hircine'south main effect.

Contracting Lycanthropy Once more

Skyrim Aela

As long as y'all ain the Dawnguard DLC or the Special Edition of Skyrim, yous'll be able to become a werewolf again, even if you purged yourself of the Companions' "souvenir" in "Celebrity of the Dead."

To get your Beast Form back, speak to Aela the Huntress in The Circle. She will bestow her blood to y'all once again, allowing you to regain your werewolf powers once again. Recollect, you lot tin can't have vampire claret and werewolf blood simultaneously. You lot have to pick one or the other.

Werewolf Perks

Skyrim Werewolf Perk Tree

But like vampire lords, werewolves in Skyrim accept a perk tree that enhances the strength of your Beast Class. You can earn points in this skill tree by feeding on dead bodies. The more corpses y'all feast on, the more XP you lot'll earn towards your next perk point. Y'all can access the skill tree past pressing the inventory push while in Beast Form.

Werewolves tin also use special totems to change the effect of their howl. You can discover these totems in the Underforge after you lot've retrieved them. Speak to Aela after becoming Harbinger of the Companions to showtime the "Totems of Hircine" quest, allowing you to retrieve these totems.

The totems grant the following benefits:

  • Totem of the Hunt:Detect living creatures through walls.
  • Totem of Brotherhood:Summon two wolf spirits to fight alongside yous.
  • Toten of Fear:Howl to inflict Fear in a large radius, causing well-nigh characters to run abroad in terror.
