oblivion where to cure disease
In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, you can cure disease in several easy ways, but the most convenient is praying at a chapel altar in any major city.
Fastest method: Chapels / Altars of the Nine
Go to a Great Chapel in a major city (Bravil, Bruma, Cheydinhal, Chorrol,
Kvatch, Leyawiin).
Inside, find the central altar (Altar of the Nine) and activate it; this
instantly cures all diseases and restores attributes, as long as you don’t
have an active bounty.
Key points:
- Works for all normal diseases.
- Free, no items required.
- If you have a bounty, pay it off first or the blessing won’t work.
If you’re in the Imperial City
The Imperial City technically has no big chapel building like the others, so the “go to a Great Chapel” advice doesn’t apply there.
While in the Market District, you’ll usually rely on potions or ingredients instead:
- Potion shops like The Gilded Carafe and The Main Ingredient sell Potion of Cure Disease and sometimes Mandrake Root (an ingredient that cures disease).
- These potions can also appear as random loot in chests or on enemies.
Other ways to cure disease
If you can’t reach a chapel easily, you have three main options:
- Cure Disease potions
- Buy from alchemy/potion shops (e.g., The Gilded Carafe in Imperial City).
* Find as random loot in dungeons and containers.
- Ingredients and food
- Some ingredients (like Mandrake Root) have a Cure Disease effect and will cure you when eaten.
* Mandrake plants are common in the western Colovian Highlands and near Bravil; some shops sell the ingredient directly.
- Cure Disease spell
- There is a Journeyman-level Restoration spell called Cure Disease.
* You can purchase it from priests or spell merchants associated with chapels in major cities, and then cast it on yourself once your Restoration is high enough to use it reliably.
Simple “what should I do?” answer
- Near a city chapel (Bravil, Bruma, etc.):
- Go inside, use the central altar → disease gone.
- Stuck in the Imperial City:
- Visit The Gilded Carafe or The Main Ingredient in the Market District, buy a Cure Disease potion or Mandrake Root , and drink/eat it.
- Want a permanent solution:
- Buy the Cure Disease Restoration spell from a chapel spell merchant and keep it in your spell list for future infections.
