Philter of the Phantom is a potion that can be looted from Wyndelius Gatharian in Shroud Hearth Barrow next to Ivarstead. He carries one or two when looted, and some minor coin, a dagger of either iron or steel and his fur clothes. One to several can be found in the room where he lived, excluding his loot.

The potion makes the Dragonborn appear spectral for 30 seconds.

It has an effect in the Active effects menu called "Ghostveil."

Trivia[]

  • Shroud Hearth Barrow is the only location where Philter of the Phantom can be obtained, regardless of bugs.
  • If Gatharian is left alive, a Philter of the Phantom can be pickpocketed from him every time his inventory respawns. It may be necessary to pickpocket all of his items with Perfect Touch to make his inventory respawn.
