Jarrin Root is an ingredient in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It can be used to make potions at an Alchemy Lab as part of Alchemy.

It comes from a rare poisonous plant found only on the island of Stros M'Kai. The potency of the poison is such that ingesting the root leads to nearly instant death.

AcquisitionEdit

Astrid will give the Dragonborn one sample during To Kill An Empire in the Dark Brotherhood quest line. It is supposed to be used during the assassination quest, however as this is the only sample that is obtainable, the target may be killed by other means and the root saved for later.

While closely resembling Canis Root in appearance, Jarrin Root has no actual plant data of its own and therefore cannot be planted in a garden or greenhouse in Hearthfire making it unreplenishable without using Console Commands.

EffectsEdit

When ingested raw, it causes 200 points of health damage, enough to kill most characters and even the Dragonborn.

UsefulnessEdit

Combining Jarrin Root together with ingredients such as Crimson Nirnroot and Glow Dust or a Human Heart and Blisterwort will create a devastating poison. With a high Alchemy skill, the right alchemist perks and Fortify Alchemy enchantments, the damage done by Jarrin Root poison can number in the thousands, rendering it capable of instantly killing many powerful characters or enemies.

Because only one sample exists, it is advisable to first complete the quest "A Return To Your Roots" as the reward will grant the active power Sinderion's Serendipity, a power which gives a 25% chance of receiving two potions when working at the alchemy lab. This makes it possible to create two vials of potent poisons.

If you then also have the Alchemy skill tree perk Concentrated Poison, and have got two poisons with the help of Sinderion's Serendipity, you can use this poison 4 times.

    I have already used the Jarrin root, and it occurred to me that alchemical ingredients can be planted in the garden attachment of Hearthfire,... 2013-05-13T00:38:15Z

    I've tried it before. You can't plant Jarrin Root. It doesn't show up in the list of plantable ingredients. 2013-05-13T01:02:22Z
