Resist Fire potions reduce the fire damage you take for 60 seconds. They are the obvious answer to fire-breathing dragons and enemy mages who rely on fire spells. The four tiers range from 20% to 50% resistance, enough to take a real bite out of a fire-heavy fight.

| Elixir of Resist Fire | Resist 50% of fire damage for 60 seconds | 265 | 0.5 | 0003eaef |
Where to find them
These are common leveled potions found as loot and sold by vendors who deal in potions. Since many potions scale with the Dragonborn, the Philter and Elixir become easier to come by at higher levels.
Brewing your own
With the Alchemy skill you have plenty of options, since many ingredients carry Resist Fire:
Ashen Grass Pod also carries the effect. Mixing it with any of the ingredients above produces a noticeably stronger Resist Fire potion, comparable in grade to a Fortify Restoration or Fortify Illusion potion.
Tips
Snowberries and Elves Ear are easy to gather and both resist fire, so they make a cheap starter pair. If you also face frost-breathing dragons, carry Resist Frost potions too, because you will rarely know in advance which breath a dragon uses.
