What happens when you shoot a blood cursed arrow at the sun?
When you shoot a blood cursed arrow at the sun using Auriel’s Bow, it will block out the sun until the following morning, negating its negative effects on vampires for the duration, and causing a temporary eclipse that turns the sun a dark, blood-red color. This unique effect is a result of combining the powerful Bloodcursed Elven Arrows with the legendary Auriel’s Bow, creating a dramatic and game-changing event in the world of Skyrim.
Understanding the Effects of Shooting the Sun
Shooting the sun with a blood cursed arrow has several consequences, including a change in the behavior of non-playable characters (NPCs) and the removal of the sun’s negative effects on vampires. This can be a strategic move for players who are vampires or who are completing quests related to vampires.
