-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~GUIDE~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for using my guide! This is actually my first guide ever. It took me
quite some time to finish it and I hope my hard work will be of some use to
you. If you have any questions, comments, critique or suggestions about this
FAQ/Walkthrough do not hesitate to contact me at
[email protected].
Before contacting me, read the following:
- Since I receive many emails every day it would help if in "Subject"
you could type "VB -What it regards", for example:
From:
[email protected]
Subject: VB -Side Quest
or the name of the side quest. If It's a question about weapons, type
"VB -Weapons" or the name of the weapon instead of just "Weapons". This will
make it much easier for me to reply to your mail, and it'll go much faster.
- ALSO DON'T attach anything to your mail, unless I've asked you to do so. All
emails with attachments, that I haven't asked for, will be deleted and I
will NOT reply.
- CHECK this guide for the answer to your question before mailing me.
- If you find that something I have written is incorrect, inform me and I
will correct it.
Before using this FAQ/Walkthrough read the following:
- All quests are sorted by where they are filed in your log. They are sorted
in Main Quests and Side Quests. All Main Quests are sorted in the order
you'll receive them. The Side Quest however are not, because you can
choose in what order to find them, or at least the most of them. Some
can only be received after completing another.
The quests will look as follow, in this guide
===============================================================================
Name Of Quest XP Reward
===============================================================================
Humanity Lost/ Gained or Masquerade redemption, if such a thing is
possible to receive during the quest.
Walkthrough
- The XP reward is the one you get for completing the quest. You may receive
more XP during the quest, depending on what you do, but this is how much
you receive for completing it. If it says "XP 2/4", that means that
depending on what you do or say, you'll gain either 2 XP or 4 XP. And if so
is the case I will tell you how you get the different XP rewards.
- To find what you are looking for use the TABLE OF CONTENTS. Mark
the quest or whatever, and press Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+F to bring up the Find
Menu. Press Ctrl+V to paste and then hit enter. You'll be immediately taken
to what you looked for.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IF YOU PLAY AS NOSFERATU READ THIS!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of yet, I have only finished the game playing as a Malkavian and a
Toreador. I intend to finish the game at least one more time, first playing
as Nosferatu.
If I tell you to go to use the cab, obviously you can't as Nosferatu. You'll
then need to use the sewers to transport yourself. If I tell you to check
your apartment I mean your haven.
Also some options in dialogue or in quest may or may not differ when playing as
a Nosferatu.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I tell you to go to a building or place, you can find it on the Maps by the
bus stops and in the sewers. If it is not located on the map, I have written
directions, so there shouldn't be any problem.
REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR MAP!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~HAVENS~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As far as I know there are four different Havens:
-Above the Pawnshop in Santa Monica, you get it automatically in the beginning.
-Skyline Apartments Downtown, get it from LaCroix after completing the
*CALLING DR. GROUT* quest, you can apparently get it after completing the
*ELIZABETHAN RENDEZVOUS* quest, if you are nice to LaCroix all the time.
I've also heard that you might don't get it, if you talk back to him all the
time.
-Sewers Downtown, you get it from Gary after the *COME INTO MY PARLOR*, quest.
The requirement is that you play as Nosferatu.
-The Regents Home Downtown, when playing as Tremere you can get this from
Strauss instead of getting the aparment from LaCroix.

III
~INTRO~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~CHARACTER CREATION~
BASE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
BRUJAH
===============================================================================
Brujah are passionate idealists and rebels, more likely to fight for their
rights than write protest songs. In life, most Brujah sought social change,
and in undeath, most clan members commonly seek the creation of a
vampiric Utopia. As militant radicals, they are renowned for their combat
skills, but are also more likely to frenzy due to their hot-bloodedness, so
to speak. They receive a +1 to their brawl skills but are penalized with a -
2 to all frenzy checks, due to their zealous natures.
===============================================================================
GANGREL
===============================================================================
Gangrels are wild loners that are the most in tune with the Beast within,
allowing them to shapeshift into more beastly forms. Nomadic in nature,
Gangrels care little about vampire politics and prefer to dwell and
hunt in the outskirts of society. Because of their animalistic nature, they
receive a +5 to Strength, Stamina, and Wits during Frenzy. However,
because of their inherent feral nature, Gangrel receive a -1 on all Frenzy
checks.
===============================================================================
MALKAVIAN
===============================================================================
Malkavians are known as Lunatics because of their ability to hear voices
of 'insight' and subject others to their insanity through their discipline,
Dementation. The world appears much different to the Malkavian than it
does to the 'sane' clans, though the extent of a Malkavian's madness
depends on the individual. A blessing and a curse, a Malkavian's insanity
will help or hinder them, depending on how much they struggle against
their nature. Malkavians start with a +2 bonus to Inspection.
===============================================================================
NOSFERATU
===============================================================================
Hideous, skulking, and powerful. Even in a world of monsters the
Nosferatu stand out. The Embrace twists and deforms their physical
features, forcing them to seek sanctuary underground. Nosferatu are
masters of the shadows. Due to their curse Nosferatu have an Appearance
of 0 and can never raise it higher, and they hide their existence from
common humans. Having shared the darkness with vermin for
so long, vampires of Clan Nosferatu are able to draw extra nourishment
from rats.
===============================================================================
TOREADOR
===============================================================================
Toreador picture themselves as artistes and visionaries, and they value the
High Society mentality that the Camarilla reinforces. Of all clans, the
Toreador are the most connected to the mortal world through
arts and entertainment. Toreador are beautiful creatures, svelt and
seductive, and move almost effortlessly through the society of the living.
The Toreador's empathy is both a gift and a burden. All Humanity shifts
are doubled.
===============================================================================
TREMERE
===============================================================================
Blood sorcerers born from mystic rituals and diablerie, the Tremere are
the least trusted of the Camarilla clans. The ritual the Tremere used to
transform from living mages into undying monsters stripped them
of their magic arts. To compensate, the vampires of Clan Tremere
developed Thaumaturgy, the powerful discipline of blood magic. The
clan guards its secrets jealously and are the only Kindred to wield this
powerful discipline. The pursuit of arcane knowledge comes before all
else, and the reliance upon it has weakened the bloodline. Tremere can
raise no Physical Attribute above rank 4.
===============================================================================
VENTRUE
===============================================================================
Truly the upper echelons of society, the Ventrue are seen as the honorable
and virtuous leaders of the Camarilla. They wholeheartedly support the
Masquerade, influencing the mortal and undead worlds to
help them maintain the Masquerade as well as garner support for
themselves. Clan Ventrue is an exclusive and powerful gathering of
immortals, and even the lowliest initiate of Clan Ventrue can expect
special treatment in Kindred society. This regal bloodline, however, gains
no nourishment from the lowborn and thin-blooded. Ventrue gain no
blood from feeding on animals. Feeding on lowlife humans- prostitutes
and the homeless- can cause the Ventrue to vomit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~CHARACTER CREATION~
SHEET
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HUMANITY
-------------------------------------
Although monsters by nature, most vampires cling to Humanity to survive
in the mortal world. Humanity is the ability to keep your predatory nature
at bay, and your first line of defense against Frenzy. If you cause the
death of an innocent human you will lose Humanity. You will Frenzy
more often if your Humanity is low.
MASQUEARDE
-------------------------------------
The Masquerade is the code of secrecy that hides vampire existence from
humankind. Violations of the Masquerade will lead to ambush attacks
from human vampire hunters, and scorn, contempt or worse from your
fellow Kindred. If you lose all Masquerade points, you will lose the game.
ATTRIBUTES
-------------------------------------
PHYSICAL
===============================================================================
STRENGHT
Strength is a measure of your character's physical prowess. It is crucial for
both the Unarmed and Melee Combat Feats.

your Lockpicking and Sneaking Feats.

Your character's overall toughness. Prevents damage from bullets, police

foundation of the Seduction Feat.
MENTAL==========================================================================
=====

Measures your character's awareness of their surroundings. Perception is
necessary for the Ranged Combat and Inspection Feats.
INTELLIGENCE
Indicates your character's ability to learn, think, and remember.
Intelligence is essential for the Research and Intimidate Feats.

Measures the sharpness of your character's mind, and ability to think on
their feet. Wits improve the Defense and Hacking Feats.
ABILITIES
-------------------------------------
TALENTS
===============================================================================
BRAWL
The ability to fight bare-handed. Brawl is important for the Unarmed
Combat Feat, which also makes it easier to feed on the unwilling.
DODGE
Detirmines your character's ability to avoid taking damage in all forms of
combat. Dodge increases the Defense Feat.
INTIMIDATION
Measures your character's ability to instill fear, and force cooperation in
others. Intimidation, naturally, increases your Intimidate Feat.
SUBTERFUGE
Measures your character's ability to conceal their motives, and deceive
others. Subterfuge is needed for the Feat of Seduction.
SKILLS
===============================================================================
FIREARMS
Determines how well your character aims, and causes damage with guns
of all types. Firearms is an indispensable part of the Ranged Combat Feat.
MELEE
Your character's ability to fight in close combat with handheld weapons
such as knives and sword. Melee increases your Melee Feat.
SECURITY
Displays your character's knowledge of how locks and security systems
work. Security is needed for the Lockpicking Feat.

SCHOLARSHIP

skills. Scholarship will increase your Research and Persuasion Feats.
DISCIPLINES
-------------------------------------
ANIMALISM
Embracing the Beast Within, the vampire can call on animal spirits to
carry out their will. The effects of Animalism are obviously supernatural
and carry the risk of violating the Masquerade if they are used in a Safe
Area.
OBFUSCATE
Vampiric invisibility. You may only enable Obfuscate if no one can see
you. If you remain motionless, the timer will not run and Obfuscate can
be maintained indefinitely. All levels of Obfuscate include the benefits
of the lower levels.
POTENCE
Puts supernatural strength into Brawl and Melee attacks that simply
cannot be defended against. All levels of Potence cost 1 blood per
activation. Potence carries no risk of violating the Masquerade.
CELERITY
Vampiric preternatural speed. The world will seem to slow while you
remain unaffected. All but the first level of Celerity are obvious
supernatural acts, and using them in Safe Areas is considered a violation
of the Masquerade.
PRESENCE
The dread Presence of the vampire can strike mortal fear into the hearts of
his opponents. Reduces enemies' effectiveness in combat. All levels of
Presence cost 1 blood per activation. Presence carries no risk of
violating the Masquerade.
FORTITUDE
Fortitude allows for amazing displays of preternatural constitution.
Guarantees a certain amount of damage from every incoming attack will
be ignored, regardless of the source. The use of Fortitude is not
considered a violation of the Masquerade.
PROTEAN
By embracing the Beast within, the vampire gains beastial forms and
abilities. These effects are readily apparent and supernatural in nature.
Protean should therefore be used with discretion in Safe Areas, lest
you risk violating the Masquerade.
AUSPEX
Enhances your mental faculties and allows you to see the auras of those
around you. All levels of Auspex cost 1 blood per activation.
DEMENTATION
The unique legacy of the Malkavian clan, Dementation channels madness
and pours it into the minds of those around you. Dementation effects are
covert actions; they cannot be traced back to you and carry no risk of
violating the Masquerade.
FEATS
-------------------------------------
COMBAT
===============================================================================
UNARMED
Measures your character's ability to do damage in unarmed combat, and
Feed on the unwilling. The Strength attribute and the Brawl ability both
contribute to the Unarmed Combat Feat.

knives and clubs. The Strength attribute and the Melee ability both
contribute to the Melee Combat Feat.

HACKING
Measures your character's ability to crack into computers and other
electronic devices. The Wits attribute and the Computer ability both
contribute to the Hacking Feat.
INSPECTION
Measures your character's ability to notice hidden details. The Perception

The Intelligence attribute and the Scholarship ability both contribute to
the Research Feat.
MENTAL
===============================================================================
HAGGLE
Measures your character's ability to estimate the value of goods, and
haggle for better prices. The Manipulation attribute and the Finanace
ability both contribute to the Haggle Feat.
INTIMIDATE
Measures your character's ability to instill fear in others and force their
cooperation. The Intelligence attribute and the Intimidation ability both
contribute to the Intimidate Feat.
PERSUASION
Measures your character's ability to convince people that they want what
you want. The Charisma attribute and the Scholarship ability both
contribute to the Persuasion Feat.
SEDUCTION
Measures your character's ability to titillate others into helping you. The
Appearance attribute and the Subterfuge ability both contribute to the
Seduction Feat.
SOAK
===============================================================================
BASHING
Your ability to shrug off damage from bullets and blunt melee weapons.
Stamina, as well as clothing and body armor contribute to Bashing soak.
LETHAL
Your ability to shrug off damage from bladed melee weapons. While
vampires may defend against lethal damage with their Defense feat, they
are nearly helpless once the blow is landed. Clothing and body armor add
to your Lethal soak feat.
AGGRAVATED
Your ability to shrug off damage from claws, fangs, fire, and electricity.
Aggravated damage is deathly serious. Vampires can defend against
claws and fangs with their Defense feat, but are helpless against fire and
electricity. Aggravated damage can only be Soaked through supernatural
means.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~TUTORIAL~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm NOT going to write a guide for the tutorial. I mean, it's a tutorial for
god's sake! Item's received:
LOCKPICK
TIRE IRON
BASEBALL BAT
THIRTYEIGHT
Note: If you don't go through the tutorial, you won't get the lockpick
which you need. You will then have to buy it at the pawnshop for 85$.
Apparently, if you choose the second option when talking to Jack the first
time "Just give me the basic", you'll get the lockpick and Gain 2 XP without
completing the tutorial. Thanks to Guillaume Coursol for this tip.
You can also get the THIRTYEIGHT here and keep it after the tutorial is over.
After Jack has finished talking, run over and grab the THIRTYEIGHT from one of
the dead guys, unless you have already taken it before talking to Jack the last
time. Thanks to Tim Cates.

IV
~SANTA MONICA~
===============================================================================
APARTMENT
===============================================================================
Check the fridge for BLOODPACKS. You'll find PILLS and a WATCH
in the bathroom. Read the NOTES on the desk. You'll learn about the
quest *THE REGENTS RIDDLE*. Check your email. Grab the MONEYCLIP from the desk
drawer. On your way out, read the paper in front of one of the doors in the
hall to learn about the quest *CARNIVAL OF DEATH*.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Main Quests~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================================
WHEREFORE ART THOU MERCURIO? XP 1
===============================================================================
Turn to your right and go into the building with the bloodstain in front of
it. Follow the trail of bloodstains to Mercurio.
QUEST COMPLETED
===============================================================================
THE PAIN OF BEING MERCURIO XP 1
===============================================================================
HUMANITY GAINED
Go across the street to the right, and enter the hospital. (Outside a guy
might come up to you and ask if you are a vampire, finish the conversation and
enter the hospital. You will meet him again later.) Try to go to the back, the
nurse will stop you and ask you to wait. If you cannot convince her to let you
through, you have to go outside and go in through the door on the right side
of the Hospital, Blood bank. Once in you'll have to pick the lock to gain
access to the hospital department itself. Go to Dr. Malcolm St. Martin's
office and pick the lock. If you can't pick it, you'll either have to go down
into the basement and go through the hole in the wall in the laundry room and
then take the stairs up to the top. Or climb the stairs as you just entered
the hospital via the Blood bank door. Make your way to the maintenance room
and climb through the vent. Take the right path leading down. Take the
morphine bottles on his desk. Return to Mercurio.
Note: Check the *YOUR OWN PERSONAL PET* "none" quest to find out about the
girl in one of the rooms, bleeding to death.
QUEST COMPLETED
===============================================================================
SURF'S UP XP 2
===============================================================================
Head to the beach, through the parking lot down the street to the right. A
woman will meet you at the beach telling you where they are, follow her
instructions. Now you're at the beach house. There are two ways of
completing this quest: Number One kill all, or Number Two the sneak
approach. Don't think you need instructions for number One. You can talk

a small room. Take the pipe here, which is leading to a slope. Go down
the slope and you'll find yourself in a large area with a basin, turn the
valve and swim down. Don't worry about drowning, you're a vampire, you
don't need oxygen.
Try to grab the ladder before getting to the water wheel. Climb it and
jump over to the other side. Go through one of the pipes. From here jump
over to the other side and throw down the barrels in the water. It will stop
the wheel. jump up on the wheel and exit through the pipe above it. Go to
left, continue through the opening here. You'll be on a "bridge". Go down
the stairs at the end. Jump down the hole without water. Open the hatch.
Go up the stairs and through the door. Save. You'll be on a catwalk, if you
keep going it will collapse. You can try and jump over to the other side
before it collapse. That's why I told you to save, so that you can reload an
try again. If you can't make the jump and all down, you'll have to climb
up the ladder near the electricity.
Once on the other side you can turn off the electricity by picking the
locked door and flip the switch in here. Turn off the pumps using the
computer or the switch left of it. Ok, the following requires you to be very
quick. Turn on the pumps again and run as fast as you can and jump down
in the water on your left (Flow Access). Swim through the tunnel quick
before the current gets too strong. When your right in front of the
propeller, take the right tunnel. Keep on swimming and you'll be flushed
out somewhere.
Open the gate by flipping the lever next to it. Once through, there'll be a
T-junction. If you take a right and then a right again, you'll see a door on
your right at the end of this hall. Inside is another LEDGER. The stairs
lead up to the main sewer, and you can once again go back up to
Hollywood if you like. Head back to the T-junction and this time take the
path to the left and go down the slope.
Take a right here, go up the slope, the path to your right has a door. Pick
the lock. If you can't, go back and go straight instead of this right.
Keep going until you can make a right, flip the lever left of the gate.
Jump over to the catwalk. Enter the door, with the red light next to it.
This guy isn't too fun. A tip is to climb up the ladder and shoot him from
the catwalk. However, you don't really need to kill him. All you need to
do is jump over to the ledge and smash the vent (the ledge is over to your
left as you entered this room). After you've done this just climb the vent a
bit and you'll be taken to another room. Go through the pipe then make
your way down. You'll have to jump between the rotating blades. Note
that there are many enemies down here and some of them are pretty
tough. You don't need to kill them all, you can run if you like.
This place is really a maze. Keep going until you get to a T-junction, take
a left here. Just keep going until path split in two, one straight forward
and the second a slope to your right. take the slope to your right, you'll see
a Nosferatu running past. Go left and pick up the PASS KEY. Go back
down and this time take the path leading straight. Just keep going and you'll
eventually end up at a T-junction. It doesn't matter if you go left or right
here. Just continue and you'll see a large oval room, you'll know that you are
in the right place when you see it. Go around and use the PASS KEY. You'll
open the large hole in the centre of the room. Jump down.
Swim up to the "beach". Take whatever path you like as they both lead to
the same place. You'll end up by a lake of boiling blood. Cross it using the
bridge. Go until the path splits, take a right, go down as far as you can. In
the room in front of you, you can find the GALDJUM. It's to the right of
the boxes. Go left over the rickety bridge. Keep going, enter the door and
talk to Gary. Gain 2 XP. Receive the *I SPY BARBARUS* quest.
After completing the *I SPY BARBARUS* quest, Gain 2 XP. Receive
the *ITALIAN DINNER* quest.

cutscene whith her in it. Proceed to the next room and there'll be some
kind of "mini boss". The guy in the middle, up the stairs, is the one
making the beam. Kill him and it will end. You can run through the
flames if you like, or try to take him out with a ranged weapon. I myself
ran up the stairs through the flames and kicked his butt. Once defeated, go
through a door on the "bottom" floor. Just continue, find a couple of stairs
and go down them and enter the door.
Go through the double door, Gain 3 XP. You'll speak to Andrei again.
Kill him now once and for all, Gain 4 XP. Go back out through the door
you entered. Report back to LaCroix.
QUEST COMPLETED
NOTE: There's some kind of bug when talking to LaCroix. Talk to him
about the alliance with Ming Xiao, then he'll say it's nonsense. You now
have to choose what to say. The first two options are the same:
"You had to do it. To bring the L.A. anarchs under control." However if
you choose the first option he'll confess. If you then choose "This kind of
information could destroy someone. Or not, for the right price." He'll tell
the sheriff to deal with you. Nothing happens, talk to him again and he'll
say you need to talk to the Anarchs, but you'll not receive any quest
telling you to do so. If you head over to the Last Round, on you way there
you'll meet Beckett and he'll say you'll have this conversation later. Once
at the Last Round you really can't talk to them, you'll be stuck in the

Take a cab and head to Griffith Park. Enter the house and ride the tram.
Talk to Nines, Gain 2 XP.
You'll need to hold out until the tram comes back, this really isn't easy.
You can run into the observatory and keep running around in here hoping
he doesn't get you.
One time I ran into where the tram was, and place myself in the back,
there was some bug and the werewolf couldn't reach me, so I just had to
wait out the time.
Another time I ran to the burning trees and placed myself against the rock
wall to the right, the werewolf then ran into the observatory smashing all
the walls, leaving me alone. I am sure this last one will work, as I have
tried it more than once.
You can also KILL THE WEREWOLF, the following tip is from John White:
Also, when you're running from the werewolf, run out back to the little
shack, hit the switch to turn on the observatory power. Run inside and open
the observatory, then get the werewolf to follow you through the now open
observatory dome. Once inside, hit the switch to close the dome as he's coming
through and it will kill him and stop the timer.
Killing the werewolf results in Gaining an extra 4 XP.
After the time runs out, ride the tram back down.

You can pick the lock, enter the room, on your right is a shield with a
sword on the wall, push it. Head down the secret passage. Don't forget to
pick up DODGE II, on the desk.

woman in the white dress, Nadia. Seduce her and ask if there's someplace
you can be alone. She'll let you in to the office and open the secret
passage. Don't forget to pick up DODGE II, on the desk.
You are now in some kind of embalming room. If you have Nadia with
you, you can ask her to show you the rest, she will then open the door for
you. If you haven't, you'll need to pick the lock or flip the lever near the
table and ride it down. DON'T forget to pick up the GIOVANNI BOOK,
which is on a table in the embalming room.
Once down, you'll see zombies. Run to the other side of the room, where
the door is. It should break and a zombie will come through. If it doesn't
brake, you'll have to kill some of the existing zombies and then go to the
door again. Note, in the crypt to your right you can find SAULOCEPT.
Head through the door and go down. It doesn't matter which
way you take. If you'll fall down, run to the end, and there's a secret door.
Climb the ladder and go through the door. Keep going. If there's a door
that doesn't open up for you, you'll need to kill the zombies first. You'll
eventually come to a "T-junction", don't continue straight, instead take
the way on the side. Go around until you find a door you can enter. Go
through and keep on going straight and through the doors. You'll be taken
to the next area.

Enter the door in front of you. Here are two door, left and right. It doesn't
matter which one you take. You'll be in the garden. In the left corner and

other part of the garden. Again it doesn't matter which one you choose.
Inside you can find ammo in the chests.
Once on the other side, enter the large temple. You can go through the
main door or one of the side doors. Go to the Buddha statue and go either
left or right. Go down the stairs and enter the door.
There are many traps down here, so be careful. You see a door on your
side but you can't open it, go around the corner and see a double door.

You'll be in a large oval room. Go left and the left again. You'll be in what
seems like a dead end. The wall on your right conceals a hidden door.
Push somewhere on the wall and it will open. Go through, pick the lock
on this next door, if you can, and pull the lever. If you can't pick it, just
keep on reading. Head back to the oval room and go across the room into
the tunnel. Turn right and keep going. There'll be a T-junction and down
both tunnels will be a statue guarded by two guards. If you pulled the
lever you have stopped a pair of blade from coming out from the wall
when you near the statues, if you didn't keep your head down. Take both
the statues and try to remember how the pedestal they stand on look like.
You should now have JADE CRANE and JADE CAT.
Now go back to the oval room and from how you are standing, go right.

before. It's the same deal here as before also, go collect those statues and
remember how the pedestals look like. You should now have JADE
DRAGON and JADE ELEPHANT.

~WEAPONS~
The Feat Adjustment is not a constant. It depends on your fighting skills.
Feat Adjusment=(Your Combat Feat of that type) - (the weapon's required
Combat requirement)
Example:
Your character has a Ranged Combat Feat of 6 (2 Perception, 4 Firearms
for example) and you are using 'Jaime Sue': Your Feat Adjustment will be 2
(6-4=2)
The same character with a Jaegerspas XV:
Ranged Combat: 6
Ranged Combet Requirement: 7
Feat Adjustment: -1
For the Melee weapons you use Melee Combat Feat in place of Ranged Combat
Feat.
For No Weapon or the Gangrel Claws you use Unarmed Combat Feat in place of
them.
Many thanks to Pingman for the info above.

~SECRETS~
===============================================================================
CLAN CHOCULA
===============================================================================
On one of the computers at Ground Zero, you can find an Email with the
following message:
"I just straight snatched the new Troika game. If you haxxor the code you
can unlock clan Chocula."
I don't know if you can actually do this, but if you manage to, email me
and tell me all about it!
===============================================================================
CAINE IN THE GAME
===============================================================================
Although you don't know it, you have meet Caine several times in the
game. He's the cab driver.
If you go into the Activision\Vampire -
Bloodlines\Vampire\sound\character\dlg\main characters\caine
and listen to the files, you'll realize it's the drivers voice.
===============================================================================
TALKING TV
===============================================================================
Once, during my play as a Malkavian, I entered my apartment and the TV
Newsman started talking to me through the TV. He told me a story about
a Tuna and a Chef. Weird...
===============================================================================
THE TALKING STOP LIGHT
===============================================================================
During your play as a Malkavian one of the Stop Signs Downtown might begin
talking to you. I have heard this from many people but have never experienced
it myself.
Thanks Red.
===============================================================================
HEAD THROUGH THE HOOP
===============================================================================
During the *MUDD HUNT* quest when you find a guy hanged in a warehouse, if you
pick up his head and throw it through the basket ball net on the wall, you'll
hear a crowd cheer!

~BUGS~
===============================================================================
SAVING
===============================================================================
At some places in the game, saving after pushing a button, for example,
and then reloading may result in the button not being pushed.
Example from the game:
At the Museum by the security beams, saving ofter smashing the control
box for the beams and then reloading, may result in the beams being turned on
again.
There are many places in the game where similar thing can happen.
Another example is the different chambers in the Fu Syndicate building.
Sometimes doors are closed after being open, resulting in you being
trapped, unable to make to the next chamber. Or that something that
was supposed to be moving, has now stopped after reloading.
Remedy: Save often and have different save files.
===============================================================================
SOCIETY OF LEOPOLD GAME CRASH
===============================================================================
The game chrashes when escaping the Society of Leopold. This is how
you solve it at the current time.
The following can be found on Activision's official site:
We are still looking into this issue at the current time, but the following
should get you past the issue.
This fix involves using some console commands. Be careful to enter the
console commands exactly as
they appear, capitalization is important.
To enable the console for the game:
1) Right-click on the shortcut you use the launch the game
2) Select properties
3) Make sure you are on the shortcut tab
4) At the end of the target line add -console, add this outside of the quotes
5) The finished line should look like this if you have the game installed to
the default directory
"C:\Program Files\Activision\Vampire - Bloodlines\vampire.exe" -
console
6) Hit ok, make sure you launch the game using this shortcut
Once you have enabled the console load the saved game from this level
and do the following
1) Get to the boat and approach it, do not get into the boat, but get as close
as you can
2) Open the console using the tilde "~" key
3) Type the following commands in:
If you saved Johansen:
SaveJohansen()
Then to level transition if you're anybody but a Nosferatu:
changelevel2 la_hub_1 taxi_landmark
And if you're a Nosferatu, instead use:
changelevel2 la_hub_1 sewer_map_landmark
4) If you get to the next level and you do not have any items in your
inventory reload your previous save
(make sure you have a discreet save and are not just using the autosave)
and try it again, but stand
closer to the boat.
===============================================================================
AFTER HALLOWBROOK HOTEL
===============================================================================
There's some kind of bug when talking to LaCroix.
Talk to him about the alliance with Ming Xiao, then he'll say it's
nonsense. You now have to choose what to say. The first two options are
the same:
"You had to do it. To bring the L.A. anarchs under control."
However if you choose the first option he'll confess. If you then choose
"This kind of information could destroy someone. Or not, for the right
price."
He'll tell the sheriff to deal with you. Nothing happens, talk to him again
and he'll say you need to talk to the Anarchs, but you'll not receive any
quest telling you to do so. If you head over to the Last Round, on your
way there you'll meet Beckett and he'll say you'll have this conversation
later. Once at the Last Round you really can't talk to them, you'll be stuck
in the game!
To make sure this doesn't happen, make him call of the Bloodhunt for
Nines Rodriguez and you'll receive the *THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY*
quest.

~FAQ~
===============================================================================
How to feed your blood to someone
===============================================================================
Have gotten a lot of question regarding this subject and I want to make it
clear once and for all.
There's only one person whom you can feed your blood to, in the game, and
that's Heather Poe, the girl at the Medical Clinic in Santa Monica. She's in
one of the rooms bleeding to death. To feed her your blood you'll need to
"talk" to her and choose "Feed her your blood". You can still feed her blood
even if you are a Nosferatu. I've heard that she isn't there if you haven't
talked to a guy (Knox) who's standing outside of the clinic.
===============================================================================
How to enable the console
===============================================================================
Although I don't like cheating I'll tell you how to enable the console.
Right click on the shortcut to VtMB and choose "properties". In the "target"
box add " -console" after the line.
The shortcut should be located on your desktop and/or in the start menu, where
you start Bloodlines.
Now just start Bloodlines from the modified shortcut and the console should
appear at the main menu after starting the game.
===============================================================================
How to enable/disable window mode
===============================================================================
To enable or disable window mode, bring up your start menu and choose RUN...
Type in REGEDIT and then press OK.
Click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER then
> SOFTWARE
> TROIKA
> VAMPIRE
> SETTINGS
double click on the ScreenWindowed file and change the Value data to 1 if you
want to enable window mode or 0 to disable it.
===============================================================================
How do I get "BACH'S 700P"?
===============================================================================
Ok, I myself have never found it in the game, however I recieved a mail from
Pingman who claimed to have bought it from Mercurio after completing the
*ITALIAN DINNER* quest. If anyone else can confirm this, please let me know.
