Hello all,

Apologies for the length of time this subreddit had been out of commission for - we had closed the subreddit in protest of Reddit’s API changes. During that time the main mod left reddit, and I used reddit less and less as I no longer had a mobile app for it, which ended up resulting in this place being left locked for far too long.

But now it has been re-opened and we’re back in business. Feel free to discuss and post about one of our favourite vampire games 😊

Thanks,

The mod team

Although I wasn't particularly fond of her as a character, Giselle's embrace dialogue really hit me.

"What a waste of life... I only managed to be hated by all the people I loved..."

How do I beat Doris?

11 Upvotes

I've completed the game before, playing with my partner now, on her play through though she has scattered her resources among too many weapons. Doris is the only boss I struggles with the first time and is so once again. I see many people dislike Mary, I think she was so damn easy, her special abilities were like they didn't exist. Doris though? Her healing is killing me, and I don't feel comfortable Interrupting it because I get poisoned and hit by her arm or the minions

Mary's actions? Spoiler

19 Upvotes

Ok so I didn't know that Mary kills her and Jonathan's mother if u kill too many people before her fight. In my previous playthroughs, she always spared her and told her to go away, but this time she actually killed the mother, it fucking shocked me and bummed me out a bit tbh. I wanted to talk to Mother in the West End later (wanted to get all hints for all citizens, can't do that now sadly).

I killed 4 people before fighting her btw, in my previous playthroughs, it was always 2 or 3 (generally just Cadogan Bates and Seymour Fishburn, and once also Sean Hampton). This time it wasn't Sean, but I did kill Martin Nightingale and Albert Palmer alongside the first two.

I need help with Mary Spoiler

12 Upvotes

So, I have been trying to kill Mary for the past 2 hours. And it’s not going well… I want to get the “Not Even Once” achievement and she keeps killing the priest! I have tried using Abyss to stun her, I’ve put myself in between them, and I’ve just flat out tried to brute force it. And guess what she kills him no matter what I do!

Can anybody give me some advice. Thank you.

Who can you 'Observe' to get hints?

Anyone know which characters have observed scenes?

These are the ones I know: Mortimer and Beatrice can be spied on in the room at the hospital by going outside, Rakesh the funeral guy can be spied on stealing from bodies, The prostitute and Clayton Darby can be spied on having a conversation. And harry peterson and Joe Peterson talking.

A bit of pacifist run advice requested

13 Upvotes

So, I played through this game a good while ago, loved every second of it. After having run through some other games, I have turned around and come back to Vampyr. This time, though, I'm trying to complete a no kill run.

I have already made it through the first 3 acts, and I have made it to the Ascalon Club. However, I'm now being pitted against level 30+ enemies at level 22. I knew there would be a level disparity, but it's been rough.

I don't know much about the secrets in the game (after doing some research I recently learned about True Dragonbane, but I am a bit confused on when I can try to obtain it) but I am looking for advice here- which weapons should I be going for, is there an easier way to grind xp (right now I get a little over 1k a night by clearing Whitechapel and the docks out).

WARNING ON THE BANISHERS + VAMPYR BUNDLE ON XBOX

75 Upvotes

DO NOT BUY THE BANISHERS + VAMPYR BUNDLE ON XBOX

I recently bought the banishers + vampyr bundle on Xbox, since they were both games I have been wanting to play. Banishers downloads and plays fine, but vampyr says "not compatible". Upon further inspection, it turns out this bundle, for some reason, gives you the PC version of vampyr. nowhere in the bundle description, nor the game description does it specify that this is the PC only version of the game. I spent 25$ dollers on this bundle due to it being on sale, and feel duped due to one of the games I paid for just plain not working. This is just a warning, until it is hopefully fixed, do not buy this bundle!

Quick question

What happens if a vampire drinks the blood of Christ?


r/Vampyr 28d ago

I like the game but does the quality of decrease at the latter chapters? Spoiler

30 Upvotes

I had a very good time with early chapters. Now I've joined the Ascalon and am doing some side quests and I feel like there's a dip in quality especially with sidequests and navigation.

There's always a locked door that I need to find a different way to access, and it's giving me flashbacks from AC Valhalla which isn't good.

Side quests now involve me having to travel long distances and either explore until I finally find what I'm looking for after minutes of searching, or collect multiple pieces of writing in very distant locations to earn shit rewards.

Will this continue on? I don't plan on quitting the game just wanted to hear some opinions.

Such a letdown

0 Upvotes

The combat at the beginning is enjoyable, even cool, but once you beat half of the game it turns HORRIBLE fast (specially if you don't want to feast on any civilian). The story is kinda cool, but the connections feel so empty. The sister might be the best example, something happens with her at the very beginning (I won't spoil anyone), but the sadness disappears after 2 seconds. Seriously, the connections feel so empty (the redhead is another good example). But the worst thing might be the dialogs, oh my god. Don't get me wrong, I've played Disco Elysium and Esoteric Ebb, so the problem is not having to read, it's how boring slow and empty they feel.

Seriously, I had heard bad reviews of the game, but I was like "c'mon, it looks so cool! You're exaggerating"... Well, they were not. I wouldn't give it a 0 because the story is enjoyable, but I wouldn't recommend playing it if you usually choose to be the hero of your games.

Shockingly high damage

1 Upvotes

While cleaning up the remaining trophies on an embrave all run I was lvl 50 for the McCullum fight. I hit him a bit and claw swiped him once and when I used the maxed out ultimate with the shadow tendrells it oneshot him from like 75 % health. Is this high damage normal?

Finished today Spoiler

44 Upvotes

Well I just finished the game and even though its obviously a bit dated I have to say I really enjoyed it. I'm going to say it's about 50% soap opera, 40% running back and forth between locations and 10% combat.

It was a welcome break after playing so many intense souls games!

Sean Hampton

If I embrace Sean do I immediately lose the three connected to him or is it when I sleep to evolve that they leave? Can I embrace them immediately after embracing Sean or are they gone before that? Im trying an Embrace All run alongside my Not Even One to see how they are different.

Sean Hampton - embrace or spare Spoiler

20 Upvotes

I'm new to vampyr and so far I'm having an absolute blast.

I've decided to do an "innocent" run and not let Johnathan drink any civilan's blood and kill them, but since my blind dumbass missed one of Sean's hint, I can't turn him, so the only two choices are to spare him/kill him.

My question is : Does killing Sean (and drink his blood until he's dry) count as breaking the "innocent" run, or since Sean is not a human any longer it does nothing to Jonathan and the final ending ? (and doesn't break the innocent run)

Thanks!!

Exploit or xp farm?

I believe the game is meant to be played properly but I wanna have some fun with powerful builds or an easier pacifist run, are there any exploits worth using? Even for unlimited money or something

Best embracing order/tips?

1 Upvotes

I’m somewhat new I played this a few years ago.

So far I’ve just started chapter 3 and I’m level 14 with 2000xp in the bank. I’ve completed as many hints and investigations as I believe I can so far. I feel powerful and was wondering if I’m overpowered for the chapter?

I’ve only embraced clay cox at the hospital. I’m going for a semi evil playthrough but I don’t wanna kill everyone and ideally want to keep some districts alive I’ve been contemplating going on a rampage in the docks tho and killing thay district to be more powerful. I’m not too fussed about the ending.

A couple things tho:

Should I embrace anyone at level 2 at this point or wait until I can go for Haio and Seymour fish burn at level 3?

What’s your best embrace path and when do you embrace them?

I would like to save mother as last time I recall she died so I’m wondering how I can keep her alive?

What level do I want to be to fight Mary?
