Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines Hints

How can I get it the harder sneaky way?

  • 1 of 16: Note that there's no bonus for doing it this way, it's just a sort of punishment for not having any social skills I guess. You'll have to do this if you aren't able to get the police report and computer password from the cop at the start.
  • 2 of 16: To start, sneak down the staircase, and to the right, and wait for the guard to move.
  • 3 of 16: Sneak past his post, to the right, up the stairs, into the security room, and out the door.
  • 4 of 16: Once you're out the door, quickly climb up the container to your right.
  • 5 of 16: You'll have to distract the guard in front of the crate to get by.
  • 6 of 16: So grab the wrench, and toss it back towards the door you came in through. This will distract the policeman. Wait until he is well away, and then drop down.
  • 7 of 16: Sneak to the right, being careful of the other guard, until you find a desk with the police report on it. Take it. If you were able to get the other info by hacking the security computer, you can leave now. Otherwise, continue.
  • 8 of 16: Sneak to the container across from you, and climb up it, and then up the one on top of it. When no one is nearby, quickly uncrouch and jump to the next container, and drop down at the end. You can see where the sarcophagus is from the top of these containers, before you dropped down.
  • 9 of 16: Now, sneak between the gap between the containers, and edge towards the sarcophagus in the shadows. You will eventually get +1 XP for exploring the crime scene.
  • 10 of 16: Now you have to get back. To do so, first sneak around behind the sarcophagus to get to the other side of the deck.
  • 11 of 16: Once you get to the other side, climb up the containers as soon as you reach the inlet with a ladder, and across it to get to the big bunch of containers, which you should go up.
  • 12 of 16: There's an annoying cop up here, but you can distract him by using the nearby crane controls (move it left, and release it). Also grab the key to the records room from next to the crane controls.
  • 13 of 16: Make your way back to the two cops where you tossed the wrench earlier. They'll be distracted now, so sneak past them, and open the door to the records room.
  • 14 of 16: Grab the cargo manifest off the table, and you're finally all done.
  • 15 of 16: Now to get out, leave the room, and go out the door in the next room. The first guard is back at his post. The easiest way to get by him without killing him is to drink his blood, and stop before he dies.
  • 16 of 16: Then just run back up to the rope ladder. Don't worry about being seen now -- just don't kill anyone.
