How To Stop Being A Werewolf in Skyrim

To cure Lycanthropy in Skyrim, players must first contract the disease. There are several ways to do this, including pursuing the Companions questline in Whiterun, completing the Ill Met by Moonlight side quest, or speaking to Aela the Huntress. Once contracted, players can transform into a Werewolf once per in-game day, but this can have drawbacks.

Contracting Lycanthropy

   A. Ways to contract the disease

   B. Effects of Lycanthropy

Contracting Lycanthropy can be done by joining the Companions and completing their questline, specifically the quest called "The Silver Hand." Another way is to complete the Ill Met by Moonlight side quest, which involves Hircine, the Daedric Prince of the Hunt. Finally, speaking to Aela the Huntress also gives players the option to receive the disease.

Once infected, players will gain the ability to transform into a powerful Werewolf. However, this comes with some negative effects, such as being weak to silver weapons and having limited control over the transformation.

Removing Lycanthropy

   A. Obtaining a Glenmoril Witch Head

   B. Completing Purity quests

   C. Interacting with the Flame of Harbinger in Ysgramor

To remove Lycanthropy and stop being a Werewolf, players have a few options. One method is to obtain a Glenmoril Witch Head during the quest "Glory of the Dead." This quest is part of the Companions questline and involves retrieving the heads of Glenmoril Witches. With the head in hand, players can cure themselves of Lycanthropy.

Another method is to complete the "Purity" quests. These quests involve cleansing the spirit of Kodlak Whitemane, the former Harbinger of the Companions, and purifying the Companions' reputation. By completing these quests, players can become cured of Lycanthropy.

Lastly, players can interact with the Flame of Harbinger in Ysgramor. This involves returning to the Underforge after completing the Companions questline and interacting with the flame. This will remove the curse of Lycanthropy and revert the player back to their normal form.

Alternative Method: Becoming a Vampire Lord

   A. Asking Serana to turn the Dragonborn into a Vampire Lord

   B. Finding a way to cure Vampirism

   C. Availability of this method with Dawnguard DLC

An alternative method to stop being a Werewolf is to become a Vampire Lord. This can be done by asking Serana, a character introduced in the Dawnguard DLC, to turn the Dragonborn into a Vampire Lord. This transformation will remove the ability to transform into a Werewolf.

However, it's important to note that becoming a Vampire Lord comes with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Players will need to find a way to cure Vampirism if they decide they no longer want to be a Vampire Lord. The availability of this method depends on whether players have access to the Dawnguard DLC.

In conclusion, curing Lycanthropy in Skyrim is possible through various methods. Players can contract the disease through specific quests and interactions. To remove Lycanthropy, players can obtain a Glenmoril Witch Head, complete Purity quests, or interact with the Flame of Harbinger in Ysgramor. Alternatively, players can choose to become a Vampire Lord, but they will need to find a way to cure Vampirism if they change their minds.
