Heh - it's Helljoint. Hellpoint sounds like some video game. :lol:

Easy to cure- just eat a mandrake root if you have one (or any plant whose first effect is cure disease) or drink a cure disease potion or pray at any chapel or wayshrine.

Careful out there - you don't want to get a bad case of collywobbles, do you???

Just pray at an altar in any church at any city.

Do not fear and stay calm!!

Several things you can do:

One is simply to eat Mandrake root (just select it in your inventory). If you're doing the Forlorn Watchman quest you should be around Bravil and there is a lot of Mandrake near the road heading south out of Bravil. I recommend carrying a few Mandrake roots for curing disease.

You can also buy and case a cure disease spell from a chapel, if you are skilled enough in restoration.

At a chapel you can activate a well to cure if your fame is higher than infamy. Note that if you have spell absorption the spell to cure diseases might be absorbed.

Or you can buy or create cure disease potions.

It always annoyed me that you never developed immunity to diseases. You'd think that after contracting the same disease about 5 times, you'd either die from it or develop resistance. But apparently not. This could get really irritating, especially with Porphyric Hemophilia. I can't remember how many times I caught that, but it was a lot.

Huh? It's Porphyric Hemophilia, a condition you get from a VAMPIRE. This is definately not the common flu we're talking about. :)

I'm just glad there is a cure (actually several cures).

If you cure yourself of Porphyric Hemophilia within 3 days of contracting it you can catch it again, and again, as long as you cure it.

@ OP, just go to a shrine and get cured.

Usually. Alchemy shops have random ingredients.

But like I said above there is a lot of Mandrake Root you can get for free right along the road running south from Bravil. Just a little way past the bridge.

I just to a postion of cure disease and it didn't say anything along the lines of Helljoint cured etc. Does this mean the potion did nothing?

If you've swallowed a potion, you'll be cured. The game is very vague about this, tho...it won't tell you you've been cured.

IN the future, just look at your stats. If you've contracted a disease, one or more of your stats will be lower than usual, and will also be red. :( In this case, I think your agility will be lowered due to helljoint. After you swallow the potion, you can look at your stats again, and they should be back where they were before the disease.
