Fortify Stamina Potions

Enhanced Stamina potions raise your maximum stamina by 20 to 100 points, letting you sprint, swing and power attack for longer.

Enhanced Stamina potions raise your maximum stamina for a while, giving you a bigger pool for sprinting, power attacks, blocking and bashing. The first four tiers last a generous 300 seconds, which makes them handy for long dungeon runs or chases across open country. The top Elixir is an odd one out: it grants the biggest boost of 100 points but only lasts 60 seconds, so it suits a single hard fight rather than a long trek.

Where to find them

These potions are leveled and appear as loot and in the wares of vendors who sell potions. Higher grades become more likely as the Dragonborn levels up. The higher grades also fetch a good price if you have bottles to spare.

Brewing your own

Train the Alchemy skill and mix any two of these ingredients at an alchemy lab to brew Fortify Stamina:

Large Antlers and Torchbug Thorax both also carry Restore Stamina, so combining them gives a potion that raises your maximum and refills it at the same time.

Tips

Raising maximum stamina does not refill it, so keep a few Restore Stamina potions on hand as well. When choosing which grade to drink, remember that the Philter outlasts the Elixir by four minutes.

Where to find it

  • Found as leveled loot throughout Skyrim.
  • Sold by vendors who stock potions.
