Beating Heart is an ingredient found during the "Unearthing Mehrunes' Razor" quest in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Effects[]
- Drain Attribute: Intelligence 20 pts on self
- Drain Attribute: Agility 20 pts on self
- Porphyric Hemophilia
When the heart is eaten, two diseases will occur. The first is Cannibal's Prion, a disease which lowers the Hero's intelligence and agility. The second is Porphyric Hemophilia, also known as Vampirism. The beating heart also gives four infamy when eaten.
Alternatively, if the Hero would like to become a vampire, they can make the beating heart into a potion (if a master of Alchemy) and drink it. The Hero won't get the infamy, but it will still allow them to become a vampire.
