In our previous guide we explained how to become a Vampire in ESO, and the following article will give you detailed instructions on how to become a Werewolf, along with maps of Werewolf spawn locations and detailed explanations of pros and cons of becoming this savage beast.
If you want to know how to become white werewolf check out our latest ESO guide: White Werewolf
UPDATE: We’ve added Exact the Rift locations and a video guide
Becoming a Werewolf
There are two ways of getting infected:
- Find rare monster spawns in Reaper’s March, Bangkorai, or The Rift.
In order to become a werewolf you need to get Sanies Lupinus disease, which you get if you get hit by rare Warewolfs that spawn only at certain spots, in certain zones and at a certain time. They spawn in level 37-44 zones of each faction, which means they spawn in Bangkorai, the Rift and Reaper’s March. They only spawn at night, during the full moon (or so is rumored). Once you become infected you should go to a nearby wayshrine where you’ll get to start the quest Hircine’s Gift. This is a level 38 quest that once completed grants you the Werewolf skill line. - You get infected by a fellow player.
Your friend, who is already a werewolf, and has leveled the skill line enough to gain the passive “Bloodmoon” ability (you need lvl 6 in werewolf skill line), can transform you into werewolf only in front of the werewolf ritual site/shrine. After that you should be able to start the quest Hircine’s Gift, at the ritual shrine by clicking on the glowing scroll. “Bloodmoon” ability has a 7 day cool down. There are also people selling werewolf bites in these lands, but be careful because you can’t really tell if the person’s cooldown is available or not.
The relevant areas and the infection quest for gaining the skill line, are suitable for characters around or above level 38. You can get infected at any level, but your ability to complete the quest before level 38 will be pretty questionable, although there are reports of people finishing the quest as early as level 20.
Werewolf spawn locations
Werewolves and Vampires share the same spawn areas (not the same location) and depending on the moon phase one or the other will spawn. During the full moon werewolves will be out. It is rumored that this phase seems to last 1.5 real days, and the phase repeats every 8 days.
-
- The Rift werewolf spawn locations
-
- Bangkorai werewolf spawn locations
-
- Reaper’s march werewolf spawn location
-
- In zone “The Rift” some players found werewolf spawns and a lot of us went to that position. Someone killed that first spawn, but we were lucky (or it works that way) and the next batch of werewolves spawned 5 minutes later at the same location.
-
- Map location of the werewolf spawn in the Rift. Previous werewolves were spawned just a few meters to the north of where I’m standing (north of the road).
-
- The curious thing is that night was not a full moon. It could be that the clouds are covering my view, but that is only half-full moon from the looks of it.
How to Cure Lycanthropy?
You can cure Lycanthropy. You just need to visit the same NPC that started the werewolf quest and she will tell you that instead of going to Hircine, you should visit NPC in a nearby town who will remove the disease for a price. It is important to know that if you ever decide to become a werewolf again you will not start as a brand new werewolf but you will continue from whatever level you reached in the werewolf skill line before you got cured.
Video Guide
Werewolf Skills & Abilities
After completing Hircine’s Gift quest, you’ll gain access to a special skill line, found under World Skills tab. The skills can be used while you are transformed into werewolf.
| Werewolf Transformation | Ultimate | Transforms you into a werewolf and causes nearby enemies to run in fear. Increases stamina, armor and run speed. |
| Pounce | Active | Player leaps to target dealing physical damage and stunning off-balance targets. |
| Roar | Active | Unleashes a beastly roar causes fear, disorientation and off-balance to 3 nearby enemies for 3.5 seconds, within 6 meters. |
| Pursuit | Passive | Increases stamina by 10%. |
| Blood Rage | Passive | Generates 2 Ultimate by taking damage in humanoid form. |
| Devour | Passive | Devours humanoid corpses to earn more time in werewolf form. |
| Bloodmoon | Passive | Allows player to turn another player into a Werewolf once every 7 days by returning to the werewolf ritual site. Turned players earn the werewolf skill line.Players infrcted with vampirism cannot be turned. |
| Savage Strength | Passive | Increases max stamina by 5% for each kill. effect stacks up to five times. |
| Call of the Pack | Passive | Allows allies to remain in werewolf form for 3% longer. Affects up to five targets and stacks up to five times. |
Advantages & Disadvantages
- The increase in stamina, armor, speed and attack damage are the main werewolf’s benefits. Morphed transformation makes these bonuses even better.
- Transformation into a deadly beast is breathtaking.
- You can be a member of Fighters Guild and also be a werewolf
- You have a lot of roleplaying opportunities
- Werewolves must transform to use special skills. Transforming into a werewolf requires your Ultimate slot and a lot of stamina
- Werewolf’s biggest threat comes from members of the Fighters Guild, since their abilities apply extra effects to undead and Daedric creatures (and with a passive to werewolves as well).
- As a werewolf you have a weakness to poison damage – 50% more poison damage taken, even when not in Werewolf form. Poison-based archers can quickly defeat you in PvP.
- You get no bonuses while you’re in humanoid form
- Choosing the Werewolf skill line is not a good choice for magicka based characters
- Transformation into Werewolf can be your disadvantage in PvP battles, since it takes unreasonably long time, and makes you lose all your CC/healing/snaring abilities.
Known bugs
Before you decide to become a werewolf, you should read this post written by Ace_SiN. We listed just a few bugs, but it seams that werewolves need more polishing.
- Werewolves are NOT affected by an allies buffs
- Your ultimate bar will fill up, and then if you don’t continue killing things, after a very short time it will completely reset itself to 0
- Your Ultimate bar will reset if you go into or out of a place that requires a load screen, during an npc conversation
- Pounce can cause your character to get stuck in a kneeling position. The only way to fix it is by wasting a potion or some food.
- Roar is unresponsive. In the middle of combat it takes about 2-3 seconds before you roar. This makes interrupting an opponents skills with it near impossible.
WTB Werewolf Bite 66k
I LIKE IT BUT I WANT TO BE CONNECTED WITH IT ANY WHERE
If you get stuck in a kneel position hit your cursor key twice. For me its ” . ” That works for breaking that bug.
Can i get infected as a Argonian? Because Argonian have Poison and Plaque Resistance. Would be nice to know, awesome Guide thou.
Yes, you can
Yes I’m argonian and got infected
The Bloodmoon ability is lvl 6 not 7
Thank you.
It never said lvl 7 only a 7 day cool down. It’s said lvl 6
If i choose to cure myself of Lycanthropy, will i get the skill point i invested in it back? or do i have to do a respec?
I doubt you’ll get all your skill points back. I say this because if you cure your lycanthropy, but then choose to go back to it, you start at the same level you were when you cured yourself of it. Thus the perks on the skill tree will remain. I reckon you’d have to get a respecification spell to get all of the skill points you distributed on the Werewolf tree back.
Just got infected. Not a full moon, and not on the maps as listed above. Double werewolves, somewhat blackish. Just south of the Eastern Evermore waypoint in Bangkorai.
2 new rift locations
east of Snapleg cave
near eldfjobrgs (SP) hideaway
Can I pay anyone here to infect me.
Hey. The recommended level to become a wolf is 42, but I did it at level 12. The trick is to keep leaving the hunting grounds and reentering until you face the mammoth, and just keep hitting it from behind. It may take a few tries, but definitely worth it.
You can get infected at any level. I got infected at lvl 9 from a friend and I could take the quest right away. The quest adapts to your level now and the boss you need to bring down were lvl 12 for me
I hear rumor that the monster spawns can be killed off so that new players can’t become a werewolf, anyone know if this is true I’ll be livid if I can’t become a werewolf, I have been waiting for this game release for months.

Forgot to mention I’m on the European server.

Can someone give it to me I’m a level 8 I’m on Xbox one and my gt is SHEFEL E NEEPLE, message me on that if you can help thank you so much in advance
My werewolf line is almost at 6 I will turn one person each week for free. I am on ps4 on the European server and I play Dominion. If you meet those requirements you can add me and request a bite. Game tag is DeaconCielFrost.
I’m level 12 and just finished the quest. I’m also 13 years old.
I got scammed out of 6k last night by ‘TheRealFury’ so if you’re messaged by him and he’s offering you a WW bite, tell him where to shove it. He’s a veteran level 2, may have increased over night, and is in the Daggerfall covenant on the European server. So watch yourselves. He seemed like a really nice guy and we spoke for a while over messages, and he didn’t mind waiting for me to come up with the gold ((took just under an hour blitzing cold harbour)) and then, we met at the Daggerfall bank, We traded and I gave the gold, and then he ran for it. I think he drank a potion or ate something to increase his speed before he ran, as even with my 20% improved speed horse, I couldn’t catch him.
So moral of the story is, Don’t pay upfront and don’t trust anyone who messages you out of the blue, no matter how nice and trust your gut. A part of me honestly expected it to happen, I knew it would happen, but there was a small part of me that just told me that I couldn’t not trust everyone, and I went along with it. But on the bright side I went up a level to 46 whilst blitzing, So yay!
Jodes light… Not a full moon and I got both my chars bit… There was like 9 werewolves there
Hey, so I’m lvl 13 and want to play as a werewolf. If anyone would come bite me, that would be awesome. I’m on Xbox one, Aldmeri Dominion, North American server. Message me: Patches Fury. Thx!

3.quit the quest
4.kill the beast in human form
5.go outside and on the actor a scroll will appear
6.read it to get the quest again
7.go into the realm and the beast should still be dead
8.sell werewolf bites for 1k

Hey looking for wearwolf bite on Xbox one ebonheart pack north American server gamer tag SpartanReaper
grahtwood, north, northeast a bit from the temple of the eight is another spawn location. the only problem is it’s rarely night in game, so it’s really anyone’s guess as to what phase the moon is in. it’s never there long enough to look at, lol.
i’ve been camping this spawn for a couple of days.. i’m guessing the actual odds of getting the disease is like 1%. they respawn pretty reliably every 4-6 minutes or so. it’s a shrine to hircine, hard to miss. imz
I think I am a werewolf
I just became a werewolf via friend bite and passed Hircine’s trial at like level 15, and I’m not very good sry this game yet, so it’s possible. You just have to find a friend to bite you.
How to tell if the moon is full?? As in do you just look at it?? And which moon is it?? Masser ?? Secunda?? Both??

I am kinda new I’m pretty sure I’m only a lvl 18 so I don’t rlly have much gold(probably only around 1000-2000), but I would be more then happy to give u all of my gold after the bite, we can work out an agreement through text
That is, if people even read these or look at these anymore
