If you've been hit with the Curse of the Consumed in Oblivion Remastered, you’re probably noticing your Stamina dropping constantly and maybe even collapsing mid-fight. The game isn’t exactly helpful about how to fix it but there is a solution.
Here’s how to remove the curse and get your character back to normal.
What the Curse of the Consumed Does
The Curse of the Consumed is a debuff you can pick up while progressing through certain quests, especially those tied to Daedric influence or dark artifacts. It drains your Fatigue/Stamina over time, sometimes to the point where your character collapses when it hits zero. If that sounds like a nightmare, it is.
You also can’t just go to a chapel and pray it away. Basic healing methods like potions, resting, and altars won’t do the trick either.
How To Get Rid of It
To remove the Curse of the Consumed, you need to complete the quest line you’re currently on (specifically the one involving Talos). Once you receive the Blessing of Talos, the curse will automatically be lifted.
Continue the main quest or the side story you were on when the curse triggered.
After the key dialogue or blessing scene, the curse is removed behind the scenes.
You won’t get a clear notification, it just silently disappears.
This has confused a lot of players, since the game never pops up a “Curse Removed” message or anything obvious. But once you’ve been blessed by Talos, check your active effects and you should see the curse is gone.
Bug Warning
Some players have reported that their character still acts cursed after completing the quest, especially if they got stuck in a weird stamina-drop loop or a fall-over bug. If this happens:
Try reloading a save from before the bug triggered.
Fast travel can sometimes temporarily break the loop, but not always.
If your character can’t move after collapsing, you may need to reload a clean save or use a console command (on PC) to fix it.
Final Blurb
The Curse of the Consumed is one of those status effects that punishes you hard and explains itself poorly. Just keep pushing through the quest that gave it to you, and when you receive Talos’s blessing, you’ll be free of it.
