Berit’s Ashes are a rather personal ingredient: the remains of a warrior named Berit, which Thadgeir in Falkreath asks you to take to the priest Runil. Once you know they’re an ingredient, you’ll spot them in a few more places too.
Alchemy effects
The effects are listed in the order you discover them by eating the ingredient or using it in a potion. Two ingredients make a potion when they share at least one effect.
- Damage Stamina – a poison effect that drains the target’s Stamina on the spot. Also on: Blisterwort, Blue Butterfly Wing, Bone Meal, Canis Root, Crimson Nirnroot, Cyrodilic Spadetail, Giant’s Toe, Jarrin Root, Nirnroot, Rock Warbler Egg, Spider Egg.
- Resist Fire – reduces the fire damage you take for a while. Also on: Bone Meal, Dragon’s Tongue, Elves Ear, Fire Salts, Fly Amanita, Mudcrab Chitin, Snowberries.
- Fortify Conjuration – makes your Conjuration spells last longer for a while. Also on: Blue Butterfly Wing, Blue Mountain Flower, Bone Meal, Frost Salts, Hagraven Feathers, Lavender.
- Ravage Stamina – a concentrated poison that lowers the target’s Stamina for a while. Also on: Bee, Bone Meal, Deathbell, Honeycomb, Thistle Branch.
Tips and trivia
The ashes share all four effects with Bone Meal, so the two together make a four-effect potion in one go. Whether you should brew a dead man into a potion of Fortify Conjuration is between you and your conscience.
