Finished game feedback (may contain spoilers)

So I finished the game last night. It is a good game. Thanks Buck and Aegis for the help.

I do have a couple of inquires about the game. What happen to Ecaterina and Cosmos? Was it Anezka's prayer to god which lead to Christoff wake up from torpor or was it Ecaterina if she is still alive in the modern Era? What does the Monocle artifact that can be found in the tower of London give to the wearer? And what happened to the 13 antedeluvian's that Vokoluv was suppose to feed off of? Were they not suppose to awake from torpor and destroy the world if Vokoluv did not stop them?

Inquisitive little guy...

In answer to your questions, yes Ecaterena and Cosmos are still alive, they just don't make a cameo in the modern era. It was neither Ecaterena or Anezka that awakens you from Torpor, it was Vukodlaks previous lacky, Lebussa. Next, the monacle identifies things for you. Stuff like Grenades and such.

As for the 13 Antidiluvians, they remain in their deep Torpor. This was not Gehenna, thus they did not awaken. Also, because you kicked the crap out of Vukodlak, he doesn't feed off them.

Why Lebussa? I thought she had been totally corrupted. Is it because she was jealous of Anezka and Vukodlak?

On the final battle I had christoff separated from other party members, then went in there and use asp of serpent to drain all vukodlak's blood pool. He (christoof) was also on celerity. Then I ran back and sent wilhelm in there and used many rockets on him to kill him off, while running around when Vukodlak came close (had celerity on off course.) Use same basic strategy on the creature that vukodlak changes to in end.

I'm interested in how every one else defeated vukodlak and the thing he changes to.

Took me about 45 minutes before I came upon that strategy after many reloads. Oh I had to use walk the abyss a couple of times to restock on rockets too.

I just went in there, and since all my people had five points in both celerity and feral claws, I hacked him to shreds with aggravated damge.

Cool.

Also against zulo I chance upon using the discipline cloak of shadows on wilheim so he would not be chased until after zulo is attacked then wilheim ran away and came back again and rocketed the guy again.

Your feral claws and and celerity party got the thing done much quicker I imagine.

1. cosmas is dead, wilhem clearly states this in the conversation in the giovanni warehouse, this was one of the events that led to wilhem and ecaterina joining up with the sabbat in the first place.

2. i did vokudlak/zulo with prison of ice in less than 5 minutes, this discipline is so uber, every enemy in the game can be slain with that one easily :|

and yes, ecaterina is still alive but doesn't make a cameo in the modern times

well, easy. Since besieging the Vysehrad I could use theft of Vitae. later, I got Prison of Ice and Lightning. In addition to that Celerity, Potence and at the very end fire storm. All disciplines for ***** so that they`re really effective.

Final fight? Everyone was shooting/using claws while I took vukodlak - and later zulo - in ice for all fight, from time to time using theft of vitae ( so that he couldn`t use much of his disciplines ) and lightning. And when not using the disciplines I fought with Ainkurn`s sword. And that was all.

I just two days ago "won" the game for the first time ever, after getting prisoner of ice, i just ran through the game, when i first time met Vukodlak, he was down in 20 secs thanks to my lvl 5 Theft of Vitae, lvl Celerity, lvl 5 Feral Claws, lvl 5 skin of viper and, lvl 5 cloak of shadows, lvl 5 potency and lvl 5 fortidute, but the most important skills against vuko was theft of vitae and prison of ice :P

Oh forgot to tell that i solo played the entire game, i think that there is not one single place in the game that one could possibly need some "help" from party members, i just drained blood from my friends when they forced them selves in to my party and let them die

I disagree! In the serpentis temple it was very useful to have friends. I got frozen a lot of times by them and it's no fun being frozen and all alone. Of course, I still haven't managed to "win" the game yet, and my tactics this far has mostly been to just walk forward and hit anything when it comes within reach. So maybe I wouldn't need my friends if I used a better tactics.
And the monocle (top post question, 2:nd post answer): I haven't been able to identify anything with it. It says something about "increasing your vampiric senses" so I bet it just gives you the same thing as the "heightened senses" discipline.

i just passed the game second time now, end of game i had 100 str 100 dex 100 stamina, lvl 5 celerity & feral claws & potence & fortidute & cloak of shadows & prison of ice & theft of vitae, most monsters died in 2 hits

. feral claws + celerity is far better combo than any weapon in game, i also had all those discipline items so skills like celerity actually used only like 6 blood, and i had over 200+ blood. solo playing rocks ^^
