How to Cure Serana in Skyrim: An Unorthodox Love Story
Vampirism, one of the illnesses in the world of Skyrim, can be cured for your vampire companion Serana in the Dawnguard questline.
In Skyrim, learn how to cure Serana.
When you first meet Serana in the depths of the tomb within Dimhollow Crypt, you may not even realize how long a journey you have to take together. Defeating her father and sharing adventures will make her your constant companion throughout Skyrim’s Dawnguard DLC. If you choose the path of the Dawnguard, Serana will remain a powerful ally who always complains about the sun. But since Vampirism is considered a disease in the Skyrim world, you can cure Serana by meeting certain requirements. Eventually, despite family ties to the vampire lifestyle, her decision depends on you.
Conditions to Cure Serana in Skyrim
It’s worth noting that you won’t be able to cure Serana until you defeat her father in Volkihar Cathedral. Any attempts to do this earlier in the story will fail. Therefore, players should avoid trying to heal Vampirism until the completion of the main Dawnguard storyline. Otherwise, Serana may refuse, and you will not get the necessary dialogue options after defeating the boss.
The next essential requirement is that you belong to the Dawnguard and have clean blood from the disease of vampirism. Simply put, Serana will not agree to be cured if you are a vampire. In addition, you should be polite and kind towards Serana, but this condition is relatively optional. After all, if you don’t show overt aggression towards Serana throughout the journey, everything should be fine.
All Steps To Cure Serana
You can cure Serana in Skyrim by following these steps:
- Don’t become a vampire until you complete the Dawnguard storyline (if at all), and be kind to Serana.
- Defeat vampire Lord Harkon and talk to Serana shortly after the battle.
- If you follow the recommendations, you will have several new dialogue options. Select “Have you thought about getting cured of vampirism?”
- After her answer, select “You could be your own person again.”
- The next step is to dispel Serana’s doubts by selecting the option “If you want to cure yourself, I’ll support you.”
- Depending on your relationship with Serana, she may immediately agree to cure vampirism or tell you that she needs to think about this.
- In the second case, you will have to skip a few hours/days and talk to her again, after which she will agree. But before she goes to the alchemist, choose the kindest dialogue options.
After completing the dialogue, Serana will leave you for three days, and when she returns, she will be human. You can find your reincarnated companion in Fort Dawnguard, and only her bright yellow eyes will remind you of her past.

Finally, it’s worth adding that you are not obliged to cure Serana. Of course, leisurely walks in the sun are great, but the powers of a vampire can give you something more. So if you change your mind at the finish line, you can choose the “I want to turn me into a vampire” option. In this case, Serana will bite you and turn you into a vampire, providing you with access to many new abilities. But in this case, she will forever remain a monster.
