Complete Guide to All Side Quests in Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2

Although Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2 remains a mostly linear story-driven game, it still features several side activities. In this walkthrough guide, we will describe in detail all the additional quests and the rewards you can get for completing them.

All side quests are divided into three groups: delivering parcels for Mrs. Thorn — the owner of the Dead Sleep Café, clearing out ghouls at the request of Onda — the bodyguard of ex-prince Lou Graham, and killing bad people based on tips from Nico — the owner of the Treasures of Aurora pawnshop.

There are also collection tasks, which stand apart. These are given by other characters, and there are three types as well: collecting the crosses of Saint James, gathering 30 anarch graffiti, and collecting 30 surveillance cameras.

An important nuance — quests are given in batches each new night. So after every awakening, make sure to check them first, and only then proceed to the main quest.

After the story mission "On Ice," when Ryon officially appoints the Nomad as the Sheriff of Seattle, you can drop by Macom's Bar and talk to Fletcher, who sits by the piano. He will offer you a task to clean up the streets — to erase anarch symbols scattered throughout the city. There are exactly 30 of these graffiti, and they are not related to the symbols of your mark on your hand, which grant experience.

The easiest way to find the signs is by using heightened senses — in this mode, they are highlighted in blue. Despite the task seeming large-scale, it's actually quite easy to complete: the map is divided into sectors, and as you move through the districts, just follow the expanding crosshair — it will indicate whether there is either an anarch sign or a special mark symbol nearby, which gives 100 experience points.

The most cleverly hidden symbol is located on the Weaver Tower — the court tower. To reach it, you’ll have to jump from a neighboring roof onto the balcony to the right of the entrance. And in the conservatory, which is in the top right corner of the map, you can find three graffiti at once.

Continue searching rooftops and streets until you collect all 30 signs. After that, return to Fletcher to receive your reward — 2000 experience points.

This side quest also becomes available after the "On Ice" mission. Head to the Glacier Hotel, where Onda will meet you by the column near the elevator. Talk to her — and not only will you receive the quest, but you'll also learn more about the Lasombra clan’s abilities.

Proceed to the marked location on the map and climb to the roof. There, Izzy — an anarchist surrounded by her supporters — is hiding. You can deal with all the enemies or eliminate only the target. After the elimination, the quest will be completed immediately; you don’t need to return to Onda, and Fair will receive 1000 experience points.

To activate this assignment, you need to enter the Dead Sleep Café and talk to Mrs. Thorn. She represents the Tremere clan — with her, you can unlock this clan’s abilities and also start a romantic storyline.

The woman will give you a simple task: deliver a package to Miss Pierce at Weaver Tower. After entering the tower, turn left and find her office on the first floor. Just walk inside and hand over the parcel. 1000 experience points in your pocket.

The next quest is given by Nico, who can be found at the Treasures of Aurora pawnshop. It’s also available after the "On Ice" mission. Nico belongs to the Banu Haqim clan, teaches you their abilities, and can become the player character’s love interest.

He will hand you a watch that belonged to Jonathan — a criminal who killed his own brother and went into crime. Use heightened senses to track him down outside the pawnshop. You can follow him until he’s alone or reveal yourself immediately. As a hothead, he’ll rush into pursuit. Lure him into a deserted place and eliminate him. Return to Nico for a reward of 1000 experience points.

To take this quest, talk to Patience at Treasures of Aurora after the "On Ice" mission. She will ask you to find nine crosses of James. They’re not easy to locate — most of the items are hidden in key locations (a separate guide to their locations will be nearby). Reward: 2000 experience points.

This quest becomes available on your second night as sheriff — after Fabian’s memory scene about New Year’s Eve 1925 and Rosalind’s death. Head to the Dead Sleep Café and talk to Mrs. Thorn, who will give you a new assignment.

Go to the cemetery located behind the church. There, under a large tree, in a stone tombstone, the required package is hidden. The closer you get to the goal, the more the crosshair will expand. After finding the bundle, return to Mrs. Thorn and give it to her. The reward will be 500 Sanguine blood points and 1000 experience points.

Like the previous one, this quest is available from the second night after the New Year’s banquet memory. First, go to the Glacier Hotel and talk to Onda.

Then proceed to the marked point on the map. On the south side of the marker, you’ll find an alley from which you can climb the pipes to the roof. There you’ll find a group of enemies led by Arjun. You can take out everyone or just eliminate the target — either way, the quest will be completed. Instantly receive a reward of 1000 experience points.

This side quest also becomes available on your second night as sheriff. Start it at the Treasures of Aurora pawnshop by talking to Nico.

Go outside and activate heightened senses to track the red scent trail. It will lead you to Edward. If your character is a Sanguine, you can use an outfit with a high attractiveness stat — for example, the Prince — to lure him into an alley. Important: you don’t need to drink blood, the goal is to kill Edward. There’s an additional condition — do not violate the Masquerade. After eliminating Edward, return to Nico to complete the quest and receive 1000 experience points.

This side quest becomes available after completing the story mission The Corpse of Slain Infants. Head to the Dead Sleep shop and talk to Mrs. Thorn.

Next, go to the auto repair shop, then turn into the alley to the west of it. There you’ll find an open door with a metal grate — this is Miss Yu’s hideout. Simply deliver the package to her, and the quest will be completed. Another reward of 1000 experience points.

The quest becomes available after the story mission The Corpse of Slain Infants. First, visit the Glacier Hotel and talk to Onda. During the conversation, mention that Isabella lost control, then emphasize Onda’s ability to adapt — she’ll like that.

Then proceed to the marked location. Climb to the roof and eliminate Joe Coffin or destroy the entire group of ghouls. The mission will end automatically — 1000 experience points.

Another quest that becomes available after completing The Corpse of Slain Infants. Go to the Treasures of Aurora pawnshop and talk to Nico.

Go outside and activate heightened senses. Follow the red trail, even if it leads to a building with a locked door — you can simply go around the obstacle. Eventually, you’ll reach Karl. Lure him into a deserted alley to take out the target without violating the Masquerade. After this, return to Nico — 1000 experience points.

This side quest becomes available after completing the story mission Lethe’s Raging Waters and returning from Fabian’s memory In Memory. Visit the Dead Sleep shop and talk to Mrs. Thorn.

Go to the indicated spot on the map. Use telekinesis to remove the lid from the dumpster and retrieve the package hidden inside. After this, simply return to Mrs. Thorn and hand over the find. Reward: 1000 experience points and 500 Melancholic blood points.

You can get this quest from Onda at the Glacier Hotel after completing Lethe’s Raging Waters and the memory In Memory.

You’ll need to go to the Dutchman bar. In the backyard of the establishment, you’ll encounter a group of bikers. The goal of the quest is to eliminate a specific person, but you’re free to take out the entire gang. Reward: 1000 experience points.

After the mission Lethe’s Raging Waters and returning from Fabian’s memory, you can talk to Nico at the Treasures of Aurora pawnshop.

Leave the building and activate heightened senses to follow the red trail. It will lead you to Alicia — a choleric. Just provoke her a little and lure her into an alley, where you can eliminate the target without witnesses and without violating the Masquerade. Return to Nico to complete the quest. Reward: 1000 experience points.

This quest becomes available after completing the story mission Trial of Loyalty and returning from Fabian’s memory Mother. Enter the Dead Sleep shop and talk to Mrs. Thorn.

Next, head to the Glacier Hotel. At the entrance, you’ll immediately notice a man engrossed in a phone call. Simply hand him the package — and the quest will be completed. Reward: 1000 experience points.

After completing the mission Trial of Loyalty and the memory Mother, visit Onda at the Glacier Hotel to take this quest.

The target is near the Atrium club. In an alley you’ll find a group of anarchs, including the main target. You can eliminate just the target or clear out all the enemies at once. As soon as the enemies are eliminated, the quest will be completed. 1000 experience points are yours.

After completing the story quest Trial of Loyalty and the memory Mother, go to Nico at the Treasures of Aurora pawnshop.

After leaving the building, activate heightened senses and follow the red trail. It will lead you to David, who is standing in the square surrounded by people. Here it’s important to act carefully: hostile bikers may appear nearby, and David himself may move to a more convenient spot for you. When you manage to isolate him, provoke him to flee and chase him into an alley to eliminate him without witnesses. After that, return to Nico. Standard reward: 1000 experience points.

The quest becomes available after completing the story quest Above and Below Ground. Enter the Dead Sleep shop and talk to Mrs. Thorn.

Then head to the park near the conservatory, in the northeast part of the map. The required package is in the marked trash bin. As soon as you pick it up, an enemy will appear — you’ll have to deal with them on the spot. After that, return to Mrs. Thorn to complete the quest. Reward: 1000 experience points and 500 Sanguine blood points.

After completing the mission Above and Below Ground, go to Onda at the Glacier Hotel and receive the quest.

The target is Miranda, who is in the yard behind the Treasures of Aurora pawnshop. She’ll be accompanied by several anarchs. You can kill just her or clear out the whole group. As soon as the enemies are eliminated, the quest will be completed. The usual reward of 1000 experience points is yours.

After completing the story quest Above and Below Ground, visit Nico at the Treasures of Aurora pawnshop.

Outside, activate heightened senses and follow the red trail to Charlie — she’ll be tinkering with a car. During the conversation, intimidate her (she’s a melancholic) to provoke her to run. Chase Charlie into a secluded alley where you can quietly eliminate her. After this, return to Nico for your reward — 1000 experience points.

After finishing the story mission The Paths of the Hesperides, visit the Dead Sleep shop and talk to Mrs. Thorn.

Then head to the marked spot on the map and inspect the rear door of the ambulance. After this action, the quest will be automatically completed. Reward: 1000 experience points.

After completing The Paths of the Hesperides, find Onda at the Glacier Hotel and discuss the quest with her.

At the entrance to the Atrium, you’ll encounter a group of enemies. Since there are passersby nearby, it’s best to act quietly and not break the Masquerade. Eliminate the sect leader — after his death, the rest will scatter, so you don’t have to fight them all. The main thing is not to start a fight right by the road. As soon as the target is eliminated, the quest will be completed. Reward: 1000 experience points.

When you finish the story quest The Paths of the Hesperides, go to the Treasures of Aurora pawnshop and talk to Nico.

Then follow the trail leading through Macom’s Bar and climb to the roof of the required building. There you’ll find the target surrounded by bodyguards. Deal with the guards and eliminate the man, then return to Nico for your reward. Reward: 1000 experience points.

After The Paths of the Hesperides, visit the Dutchman bar and talk to Silky. He’ll ask you to destroy the hunters’ surveillance cameras — this is one of the game’s collectible elements. There are 30 such devices in the city. When you get close to a camera, the crosshair will expand, helping you find them faster. Reward: 2000 experience points, new dialogue options with Silky.

After you finish the story quest Ghostbusters (Not) and return from Fabian’s memory during the Prince of Seattle quest, go to the Dead Sleep shop and talk to Mrs. Thorn.

Then head to the police station. To get onto the roof, jump over from a neighboring building. Along the way, you can either avoid the police or take out some of them if you need to clear a path. On the roof, find the wooden pallet and move it with telekinesis — the needed package is hidden behind it. After this, return to Mrs. Thorn and turn in the quest. Reward: 1000 experience points and 500 Melancholic blood points.

When you finish Ghostbusters (Not) and return from Fabian’s memory during the Prince of Seattle quest, go to the Glacier Hotel and talk to Onda.

Your target is the bank where Sharky is hiding. You’ll encounter several enemies along the way, but to complete the quest you only need to eliminate the main target. After taking out Sharky, you’ll receive your reward immediately — 1000 experience points.

After the story quest Ghostbusters (Not) and returning from Fabian’s memory during the Prince of Seattle quest, visit the Treasures of Aurora pawnshop and talk to Nico.

Before that, don’t forget to visit Patience: examine the skull in her installation to find out it belonged to Rosalind. This will grant you a hidden achievement.

After speaking with Nico and receiving the assignment, follow the trail to Emma. She will be guarded by three people. You have two options: use your abilities to make one of the bodyguards eliminate the target — this will allow you to maintain the Masquerade, or attack directly, but then the additional condition will not be met. After eliminating Emma, return to Nico for your reward. Reward: 1000 experience points.

After completing the story quest The Kiss of Prospero, visit the Dead Sleep shop and talk to Mrs. Thorn.

Next, go to North Seattle and find Mr. Swan. As soon as you speak to him, the door he was hiding behind will instantly disappear. When you return to Thorn, you won’t learn any details, but the conversation will make it clear — the woman has big ambitions and dreams of becoming the new prince of the city. Reward: 1500 experience points and 1000 Choleric blood points.

After the story quest The Kiss of Prospero, head to the Glacier Hotel and talk to Onda. The topic will be Reggie — Fabian’s former source. He won’t be there. Activate heightened senses, follow the red trail, and go to your own hideout where Reggie is hiding.

In conversation, he’ll tell you that all of Fabian’s people are dead — that was his insurance against Lou Graham. Next, you’ll have to make a decision:

After that, return to Onda. You can lie that you eliminated him or tell the truth — the choice is yours. If Reggie is still alive, Onda will express disappointment and admit she fears Lou. Reward: 1500 experience points.

When you finish The Kiss of Prospero, visit the Treasures of Aurora pawnshop and talk to Nico. Then follow the red trail outside the pawnshop and head to the police station, which has been attacked by anarchs.

Deal with the enemies on the lower floor and open the cell where Officer Jonesy is being held — she is also Samantha (or Sam). You’ll have to decide her fate:

Reward: 1500 experience points.
