Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines Hints

How can I find the Professor in the Society of Leopold?

  • 1 of 14: First, notice the laser tripwires when you enter. It's a very bad idea to cross those. The boxes they lead to are filled with explosives, which will almost always result in your death.
  • 2 of 14: Fortunately, you can hack the laptops (password: soc) in order to turn off the tripwires, or reprogram them to go off for humans.
  • 3 of 14: Either way, get into the main area of the monastery and go up the stairs. The place isn't very well lit, so you can sneak around without too much trouble.
  • 4 of 14: There's a lot of guys up here, but you can probably sneak past them if you need to. In the room on the far end of the top floor, you can find some ammo. You can also find Bach's journal around here, which makes for an amusing read.
  • 5 of 14: Once you have the key, go back down, and use the key to unlock the doorway leading down into the basement.
  • 6 of 14: There's another couple hunters down here, but they're no big deal. Head to the other end of the cellar. Anything look suspicious?
  • 7 of 14: Move one of the wine barrels, and crawl through the passage to get into the caves.
  • 8 of 14: In some bizarre twist of natural laws, the caves are much better lit than the house, so stealthing through this area is a bit tougher.
  • 9 of 14: Down in the caves, work your way through to the bottom. If you head left at the intersection here, you will find Ash, from way back in Hollywood, locked up.
  • 10 of 14: To continue, head right at the intersection, and come to a large open cave with an underground lake in it. Make note of the boat here for later, and make sure that you kill off everyone in here.
  • 11 of 14: When you're ready, head through the tunnel at the other end and open the door. You will encounter Bach, the hunter who burned down Grout's mansion.
  • 12 of 14: Bach is really, really easy, though he is sort of annoying. Mostly because he uses a gun, and although he is very accurate, it just doesn't deal enough damage to really be a threat. The only way to get him to miss with his sniper rifle out in the open is to use Celerity and dodge the bullets, or to get some sort of obstacle between you and Bach.
  • 13 of 14: If you fight him in melee, after you get a couple hits in on him, he will blind you with his faith, and run away to a new sniping area. If you fight him with ranged, he will cast an invulnerability spell every time you hit him a couple of times. It's takes a while either way, but it's pretty easy. If you kill him with a ranged weapon, he will drop his sniper rifle. It's probably the best ranged weapon in the game vs. vampires. Grab it.
  • 14 of 14: Now, get the key he drops, climb all the way up the stairs, and talk to the professor. Milk all the information you can out of him.
