II. About the FAQ
------------------

The goal of this guide is to answer the most frequently asked questions about
werewolves that constantly pop up on forums.

This guide was compiled by searching through forums and finding various bits of
information. It also uses a great deal of my own knowledge that I gained from
playing the game. Unfortunately since this information was collected some time
ago it would be near impossible to find every person to credit information to.
So instead I thank everyone on the Morrowind Source forums as they helped me
compile this guide through their posts and responses.

The main reason this guide was compiled is because I’ve seen so many questions
on forums about werewolves that have been explained over and over in previous
posts so I decided to write this little FAQ about werewolves. Some answers MAY
contain spoilers but I’ve tried to minimize this as much as possible and as
ridiculous as some of these questions are I assure you they were asked on the
forums on more than one occasion.

-------------------
III. The Questions
-------------------

Note that this information is accurate for The Elder Scrolls Bloodmoon
version 1.6.1820 using any kind of werewolf mod may change or alter things
which will render some of this information incorrect. The most common of which
is if you will change every night as a werewolf.


Q: How do I become a werewolf?
A: Once you’ve progressed in the main quest far enough you can find werewolves
roaming around during the night time. When you find one let them repeatedly
attack you until you contract the disease which is called Sanies Lupinus (NOTE:
The disease is a common disease). Checking the inventory of dead creatures
seems to give you a chance to contract diseases too. If you can’t find a
werewolf roaming around use this console command to create one in front of you
placeatpc BM_werewolf_default” 1, 1, 1
Another way to become a werewolf is to do the main quest OR use the console
command which is
player->addspell “werewolf blood”

Q: Can I make other people werewolves?
A: No, you may be able to download a mod to allow this though.

Q: Can I be both a werewolf and a vampire at the same time?
A: You can’t as of v1.6.1820 but in earlier versions of Morrowind you can. To
my knowledge there is also a mod that allows you to become both at the same
time. However I wouldn’t recommend it. Being both would mean you can’t go out
in the day or you would be hurt by the sun and at night you’re a werewolf that
must kill people for food so you cannot talk with people. Therefore you can’t
really do a lot when infected with both diseases.

Q: Am I restricted to being only able to transform into a werewolf on
Solstheim or can I do it anywhere?
A: You are not restricted to location you can transform into a werewolf
anywhere.

Q: Can I still contract the disease after finishing Morrowind?
A: Yes you can but you will have to play through the main quest of Bloodmoon
OR you can use the console command which is
player->addspell “werewolf blood”
One last way is to create a spell that will lower your resistance to common
diseases to 0% which will allow you to contract it normally.

Q: I contracted the disease how long do I have to wait until I become a
werewolf?
A: Two days after you contract the disease. From then on you will transform
every night into a werewolf until you are cured of the disease.

Q: I don’t want to be a werewolf how do I cure it?
A: If you haven’t contracted the disease fully so you transform every night
use a cure common disease potion or spell on yourself.

Q: It's past 2 days and I’m sick of being a werewolf how do I cure it?
A: There are a few different ways. 1.) The simplest would have to be, find
the Gloomy Cave which is East of the Western river fork. Walk inside the cave
and look at the ceiling you should see an icicle hanging down. Jump or
levitate up to this icicle and open it as you would a chest. Inside is a
scroll, pick up the scroll, drop it on the ground and read it from the floor.
If all goes well you should be given a journal update stating you are no longer
a werewolf. 2.) The second way you can either go down by the dock at
Fort Frostmoth where you first come to Solstheim and look around for a note
or ask about latest rumours this will initiate the raven cure quest. Do note
that like all rumours you may have to ask certain or quite a few people before
you get the rumour your after. Once you've gotten a journal update talking
about a black raven hanging around the Altar of Thrond go there and talk to the
raven. This will start a quest at the end of which you will be cured of being
a werewolf. (NOTE: You can start the quest but you cannot finish the last
part if you have started the main bloodmoon quest as a werewolf).

Q: How often do I become a werewolf?
A: You will become a werewolf every night from 9pm to 6am. If you are seen
changing from a human to a werewolf or werewolf to human you will be notified
by a message and from then on you will be attacked on site regardless of what
form you are in.

Q: Can I change into a werewolf at will?
A: Not without a mod such as Werewolf Realism.

Q: Help I was seen now everyone attacks me how do I change this?
A: There is a global variable in the game that sets itself to the value 1
notifying you’re a known werewolf to all NPC’s. In laymen’s terms it’s like a
bounty. Use this console command to rid yourself of that pesky problem
set “pcknownWerewolf 0”

Q: How do I use my claws?
A: Draw them out as you would with any other weapon.

Q: Can I bite people as a werewolf?
A: Originally no, you can only claw and slash people to death. You may
however be able to download a mod to change this.

Q: How often do I have to feed/get flesh and how do I do it?
A: You will need to feed/get flesh every single night and to do it all you
need to do is kill an NPC. NPC’s include all humans, Argonian’s and Khajiit’s.
It also includes human enemies such as Berserkers, Stygn Hags, Smugglers,
Guards ect.

Q: What happens if I don’t feed/get flesh?
A: During the course of the night if you do not feed/get flesh you will loose
health slowly. Due to this it is possible that you will be dead by morning if
you do not feed/get flesh.

Q: Are there any quests for a werewolf?
A: If you got the disease through the main quest you will have dreams one or
two nights after you fully contracted the disease. Follow the instructions to
complete the quests (NOTE: The werewolf quests are actually an ALTERNATE main
quest which are given to you instead of the Skaal quests)

Q: I heard I can increase my claws damage how do I do that?
A: Complete the werewolf quests.

Q: I heard there is something that allows me to turn into a werewolf at will
is this true?
A: Yes its true complete the main Bloodmoon quest and you will acquire this
item. It will allow you to transform into a werewolf at will but the duration
is still the standard 9 hours.

Q: I can’t be bothered to finish the main quest to acquire the item can I get
it via the console?
A: Yes you can here’s the console command
player->additem "bm_ring_hircine" 1

IV. Werewolf Mods
------------------

Alot of people complain and whine that werewolfs are underpowered or no fun to
play. Here are a couple mods I personally use that improve werewolves greatly.
There are more mods than this for werewolves but these are only the ones I've
played with. Since I don't trust my ability to check and update links on a
regular basis you can find links to all these mods and more on Telesphoros'
List o'Mods.

Telesphoros' List o'Mods
http://www.mwmythicmods.com/telesphoros.htm

Werewolf Evolution by Cortex
This mod is a must for werewolf players. It changes the stats of werewolves so
it uses your human stats as a base meaning if your weak in human form your weak
in werewolf form and if your strong in human form your strong in werewolf form.
This is good if you play from level 1 as a werewolf as I do.

Werewolf Realism by Sabregirl
This mod adds a stat boost to werewolves in human form. Makes it so you change
once a month instead of every single night. Changes the hunger system when in
werewolf form based on your willpower and allows you to change at will after
level 20 by tapping the sneak key. It also changes the rewards for the main
werewolf Bloodmoon quests and changes Hircine's ring to block transformations
when on but it can still be used to force a transformation.

Wereskins by Emberwolf
This small mod changes the looks of all werewolves so their a different color
(all werewolves will be the new color). There's a skin for black werewolves
and also a skin for artic looking werewolves.

Reaper, the spell id is "Werewolf Blood," not “sanies Lupus.” Also, just roaming around is not going to get you to a wereeolf unless you've reached a certain point in the main quest. There is a tomb on the Eastern coast of the island, to the West of Uncle Sweetshare's Shack and Southeast of Thirsk that always contains a werewolf, given that you enter it at night.

Alright thanks i'll fix that up its just the info i collect i thought that code might be wrong but i wasnt certain. I cant exactly add those locations unless i know the proper name because otherwise people will simply end up roaming around unable to find the place. Also what do you mean its "Werewolf Blood" do you mean the addspell code is Player-> addspell “Werewolf Blood”' or do you mean thats what its called?

Player->AddSpell "Werewolf Blood"

And if this is going to be a sticky, you might as well polish off your post a little bit.

Thanks Marxist male without a father i fixed that little problem and changed about the werewolves i'll add in those cave locations as soon as i find them or someone tells me. I intend to polish this until its good and finished. Like i said i made this up since i've seen about 7 or more posts asking all the same questions so i thought i'd answer them all in 1 to stop further posts. I added all questions i could think of and all questions i found on forums such as how come i cant use my claws This question still amazes me since its so simple but there is indeed a thread on this forum that asks all about it.

Thanks for your help Marxist and notify me if anything needs adding or changing ok.

ok, im pinning this, thanks, this should help avoid so many threads about werewolves!

Thanks switch that was the plan. Side note my first pinned post yay. :lol:

lol congratulations! and ur welcome.

Great idea. People keep making topics about werewolves, and it would be great if everyone could just read this.

I've actually tried out and accomplished the 'Altar of Thrond' quest to cure the lychanthropy disease and trust me, it's messed up but it works.

**spoiler alert**


















**spoiler alert**

How it starts is you discover a note by the boat dock at Fort Frostmoth, mentioning a raven at the Altar of Thrond as a sign that whitches have come to Solthsteim. The Nords, Skaal or otherwise, are all bewildered by this too.

At the altar, there is literally a black raven and it talks to you. It says it is actually a whitch with shapeshifting powers, and that she's more-than-aware of your knack for shapeshifting too. She offers to cure you of your lychanthropy (although you can refuse if you enjoy being furry and burly, like me ). If you agree, she teleports you with her to the lair of her two sisters.

You perform two tasks for her sisters to get the needed ingredients, one of which is wolfsbane that grows atop a peak and the other to get some berries that grow around tombs or is occasionally carried by Spriggins. They use the stuff to make a brew, but the brew is not the cure....

This is where things get REALLY nasty. To complete the ritual, the whitches meet with you at the altar and have an innocent Nord woman to act as a human sacrifice basically. You're instructed to rip out her heart after killing her, which, after giving to the whitches, is bathed in the brew and then implanted back inside the innocent woman.

She turns into a werewolf b/c your lychanthropy has been absorbed into her and after killing the she-wolf, you are fully cured.

I don't particularly like this method of curing lychanthropy so after completing it I went back to an earlier saved game instead and bluntly refused. Still so far it's the quickest way I know of curing the disease, but that's the gist of it.

Thank you very much redstreak1 I've been wondering how to start that strange quest its the NOTE i never found since no one ever mentioned anything about a note maybe next time i need the cure i'll try this way. As i mention in my little FAQ the quickest way to cure yourself is to take a scroll thats hidden in the icicle in the roof of the same place you find those two sisters. Take the scroll drop it on the ground and read it much quicker than the Raven Quest but i'm definitly going to try it next time i need the cure.

Thanks again redstreak1 for helping out about that mysterious quest.

unless it wasnt noted for all you cheaters out there, which i no longer belong to cuz i realized its more fun to beat the crap outta the guy after trying 20 times at level 6.. but theres a ring code that can transform you into a werewolf when you put it on, and as long as you dont change in front of people you dont have to worry about the bad side of being a werewolf cuz it only lasts till morning or whenever. it helps when you wanna travel far on foot or take out someone whos been bothering you but ya didnt want to get caught.. tho i believe eventually you get into that path of evil deal where you gotta backtrack but anyways here the code hope it helps.. i guess

Since no one's answered my previous topic title below, I might as well ask up here.

I contracted the werewolf disease while only 1/2 through the Skaal Test of Wisdom; I managed okay through it but when it came to the Test of Strength until I cured it Wind-Eye refused to chat w/ me b/c of my lychanthropy. Ironically, AFTER curing it and completing the Test the Skaal village is attacked by werewolves.

Now I've heard bits and pieces about werewolf quests, but I've already played a werewolf for a week and have yet to see any 'dreams', apart from the generic transformation dreams, about quests of any sort pertaining to werewolves.

To play the werewolf quests, would I have to catch the disease through the main/Skaal quests or should I be able to see visions of it after the werewolf attack of Skaal? (I've been cured, so I don't know if I will catch the disease again or not)

Q: Help I was seen now everyone attacks me how do I change this?
A: There is a global variable in the game that sets itself to the value 1 notifying you’re a known werewolf to all NPC’s. In laymen’s terms it’s like a bounty. Use this console command to rid yourself of that pesky problem Set “PCKnownWerewolf” to “0”


I tried entering this command as is in the console but I get a scripting error... how do I enter/run this command properly? Here's what I have been trying - Set “PCKnownWerewolf” to “0” and 'set' goes unrecognized, and PCKnownWerewolf=0 which does not work either... can someone please help me?

That should work.

Someone should make a mod where you can get rid of that with a quest, so you can continue being a werewolf... or get rid of it after cured.. or something.

[COLOR=red] Hey thanx for that info but is that for pc or xbox? xbox cant ure word cheats like that so it must be pc. i just got morrowind goty (game of the year) yesterday and i want to become a werewolf or vampire. can anyone help with that for XBOX? THX ALOT!!!

Just read the first post here. It has all the details you'll need. As far as I know it works exactly the same for XBox, just you can't use the cheats.

As for becoming a vampire, just search for "vampire" on these forums there's been countless topics about it (might need to set it to 30 days and older to find them though)

I hope your X-Box supports multiple saves, because being a vampire/were wolf is not all its cracked up to be. good luck with that tho

Um I loved being a lycanthrope

One of the best things I've ever done in Morrowind. I loved the challenge of hiding my true nature

Horned Reaper,, where is the Western river fork you mentioned of where the caves are in which I can find the scroll to cure myself from being a werewolf?

The Western river fork is the area Southwest of Thormoor's Watch and directly South from the Water Stone.

Ive never been a werewolf ,but before i do id like to know:
what happens if u dont "feed"?

You lose lots of health

how can i get flesh ???do i just have to kill someone ????or do i have to get it somewhere ????

You have to kill one NPC per night to satisfy the bloodlust.

A good rule of thumb: If it has a proper name, don't eat it. There are plenty of Berserkers, Fyrse Hags, Smugglers, and Reavers around to last a lifetime. Don't foolishly kill someone who you might need.

I am considering purchasing theis expansion. I was wondering...
can I take my Werewolf antics to the main-land (Vvardenfel) and raise all sorts of havoc overthere? Or am I restricted to transforming only on Solstheim?

Yeah you can transform into a werewolf anywhere Vvardenfel,Mournhold. ^_^

Yeah, I was eyeballing Vivec as my Base of Operation, since there seems to be an inexhaustable supply of Ordinators over there . But first thing I'm gonna do is pay that little *censored* Fargoth a visit...

I thought about doing that myself, even ended up trying it, but for some reason now when I walk into St. Olms or the Foreign Quarter the Ordinators just kind of recognize me and attack :ranting:

Because you're wearing their armour or have worn it at some time. Don't wear Indoril armour in Vivec.

I know about the Indoril in Vivec, the only set I have is on a mannequin at my house in Balmora, and I never wore it. what was meant was that I killed a few Ordinators as a werewolf, though I changed outside of the city where no one saw me, and changed back hidden as well, yet the Ordinators seem to recognize me and attack.

I'm overly happy wearing my Blood Lord Armor from Carnithus' Armamentarium.

For some reason when i enter those cheats like the Werewolf blood one it says script error. The only cheat that would work is togglegodmode. Does anyone know why it might not work?

I fixed up the FAQ a bit and answered some more questions that were asked. Hopefully now it has almost all the information people will need.

Enjoy :lol:

[FONT=Times][SIZE=1][COLOR=red] I recently bought Game of the year edition and Became a werewolf through my console. After doing so this made me wonder about the "werewolf quests". Will I still recieve the Dreams to do the quests if I didnt become a Werewolf through the normal Quests?

You should recieve the werewolf quests no problem but they're actually an alternate main question for bloodmoon so you won't even get the dreams until you get far enough in the bloodmoon main quest.

ONe thing that i discoverd about the main quest is tht you arre supposed to kill captain carius if you are a werewolf but there is a way to save him if you are a werewolf.

1) when you appear in the dungeon in the starting room rest until you are no longer a werewolf
2) Go into the next room and talk to carius and agree to help phim
3) clear the area of all othe werewolves
4) aproach the door to the next room so that carius stops following you and tell you that he is going to try to escape
5) find a spot where he cannot see you and rest
6) run without hurting him into the portal

If you do that you can both beat the game as a werewolf and save carius. NOrmaly when you enter the room as a werewolf you get no dialog from carius and he attacks you on sight asnd there is no way of savinghim.

is it worth it to become a werewolf?

saldrex
i'm pretty sure I already knew that but its nice to have it in writing for others guess i might add that in later in case anyone wants to keep him alive.

m_gobes
It REALLY depends on your opinon if you feel its worth it or not. I say playing as a werewolf can be a fun experience but it can become a little annoying from having to feed every single night on someone.

Although if your a collector of items you may be interested in werewolves since you can kill anyone as a werewolf then change back when no ones around and loot their bodies. You can get some really good stuff this way.

All up werewolves are fun to play for a while but probably not for the entire game for most people it would become more of a burden than enjoyment. If you aren't ready to turn into a werewolf every night and go through the feeding process go with the ring which you get from completing the bloodmoon main quest you'll be much better off that way as you can still try out the werewolf sometimes.

In the end it all comes down to your decision. Try it for a while if you dont like it you can get yourself cured simple enough.

About being a werewolf alot of the things about them can become anoying but if you want you can go through the main quest as a werewolf and get cure after. That is basically what i have done. Even though you cannot get the desiease again you can still use the ring you recieve. The only real reason i did the quest as a werewolf was so that i culd improve the strength of my transformation. Once cured i can still transform with th ring.

The werewolf's quests are much harder then the normal quests. I advice completing Bloodmoon in normal form first, as you will miss out what the whole Bloodmoon fuss is all about.

How do you bit as a werewolf.

You can't bite anyone. You can just claw and slash them.

thanks, last question, for now, is there a mod that allows you to do that. :nazgul:

No. There's only three attack possibilities- slash, chop, and thrust- and Bite would have to occupy one of those. It would also need animation, something few people will do on a whim.

what do you type in the coucle to fix if people see you as werewolf.

Did you even bother to read the first post? Geez,some people are so lazy

I did and I entered that and nothing happened. Im not a real werewolf. Im using the ring.

I was using a wepons maniqine mod. I whent in as a werewolf and when I change d back into huma the PC tried the maniqines as real people. Now I can't talk to people. I even typed that code in and nothing happend :help:

yeah, i actually had to turn the difficulty back down to normal to complete the werewolf quests.

if you're used to relying on your "dedric katana of rediculous pain and suffering" then it's quite a change of pace to be stuck with naught but the claws the good devil gave you.


as for adding to the discussion, another thing you need to know about feeding the beast is that if you don't get your nightly requirement of flesh in time, the first hit of hunger pangs not only does damage, but kills your regenerative ability for the rest of the night. that means you can't heal at all until daybreak.

have fun and kill many
