Oblivion Remastered: How to Craft Cure Disease Potions
Learn how to craft Cure Disease Potions in Oblivion Remastered, find all the best ingredient combinations, and stay protected from dangerous diseases like Vampirism.
When you’re exploring the wilds of Cyrodiil and the Shivering Isles in Oblivion Remastered, few items are more important than a good Cure Disease Potion.
It’s not just about avoiding annoying debuffs — it can literally prevent you from becoming a vampire if you act fast enough.
Whether you’re an aspiring alchemist or just someone who wants to be ready for the worst, knowing how to brew Cure Disease potions can save you a ton of trouble. Here’s everything you need to know.
How to Craft Cure Disease Potions in Oblivion Remastered
Crafting your own Cure Disease potion is super easy once you know the basics:
- You only need a Mortar & Pestle to get started — no full alchemy set required.
- Open your inventory, select your Mortar & Pestle, and it’ll bring up the Alchemy crafting menu.
- Find and combine two ingredients that both have the Cure Disease property.
- Hit “Brew” and you’re done!
Even Novice-level Alchemists can brew Cure Disease potions — you don’t need to level up your Alchemy skill first.
Quick Tip:
One of the easiest recipes early on is Mandrake Root + Elf Cup Cap.
Both ingredients are easy to find and grow near beginner-friendly areas.
Important Warning About Vampirism
If you contract Porphyric Hemophilia (the vampire disease) while adventuring, you’ll need to act fast.

- Cure Disease Potions only work if you use them during Stage 1 of the disease.
- You have about 71 in-game hours to cure it before you sleep.
- If you don’t, you’ll enter Stage 2 — and after that, regular potions won’t help anymore.
At that point, you’ll need to go through an entirely separate quest to cure vampirism… and trust me, that’s way more complicated.

Where to Find Cure Disease Ingredients
Clannfear Claws:

Pro Tips:

Final Advice: Always Carry Cure Disease Potions
Diseases in Oblivion Remastered can seriously mess you up — and they tend to show up when you least expect it, whether it’s from a rat bite, a zombie’s claw, or a sneaky vampire.
- Cure Disease Potions are lifesavers, especially early game.
- Resist Disease Potions can help too, but their buffs are short-lived and not totally reliable for long adventures.
- You never know when you’re going to get bitten, so it’s smart to always have a few Cure Disease potions tucked away in your inventory.
Stay stocked up, stay healthy, and avoid turning into an unwilling creature of the night. 🧛♂️🍷
