@SamoJaSamFaca Play as a Malkavian if you can puzzle through their weird dialogue and blaze through with Dementation as well as learning a lot of lore if you keep your eyes open. After learning what they did to the Salubri, I doubt I'll ever, ever want to play a Tremere again.
I always wondered what clan this guy was from. I thought Malkavian at first, but Malkavian doesn't have celerity. Most likely Toreador antitribu, or Caitiff.
@f4nnyp4ck I was thinking Brujah. He has Celerity, he's a renegade and he has a cause. He also has a shotgun. Most Brujah are into guns. Most Toreadors (the ones who don't mind mussing themselves up in a fight) would prefer to kill you with something more graceful or stylish, like a scimitar or a pair of daggers.
I'm pretty sure he's Toreador. If you talk to the girl you meet before going up the stairs, she mentions that he's beautiful, and that she has dreams about him. From that impression, it seems more likely (to me anyway) that he's Toreador rather than Brujah. ;p
@hintonjamest How so? Even the Antitribu of Clan Toreador typically apply some sort of art or grace to what they do (even if that art is usually something monstrous and sadistic). There's nothing artful or graceful about Bishop Vick; he just zips around with a shotgun and there's not a lick of Presence to him. However, he IS a renegade degenerate with a passion and a cause; I'd call him a Brujah (not Anti; he could just be an Indy rogue) a hundred times before I called him a Toreador once.
@BloodyBay The * Antitribu clans are basically opposites of the specified clan. While a Tzimisce appreciates sculpting flesh into horribly terrifying forms, a Tzimisce Antitribu uses it for beauty. Understand? Also I'm not sure quite what you meant by "Pfft. You're hanging out with Toreadors masquerading as Brujah, then. :-p". Bishop Vick is Toreador or Toreador Antitribu any way you look at it because of his use of both Auspex AND Celerity.
@BloodyBay Really? I'm not sure if it's the crack talking or not, but if it isn't I'd say he's Malkavian. Still, it probably is the crack and he's just a crackhead Toreador.
@NachtCrus I do. But believe it or not, the knife can be deadlier than the fire axe if you have the build for it. The knife does less damage initially, but with a high enough melee skill its Lethality increases, and it has a faster attack rate. And see in the video how the knife has a knockback attack (Down+Attack)? The fire axe doesn't have that.
So really, the knife isn't bad. I kept using the knife until I got the katana and the Ra Blade, come to that.
Did I have the fire axe at the time of this video? Yep.
Did I WANT to use the fire axe? Nope.
The knife is faster, it has a knockback and its Lethality is better with my Melee level. Just because the fire axe does more damage per hit doesn't automatically make it a better melee weapon. Rate of attack and special attacks count too.
@malkaviansrle You're asking if there is a cheat to make the game harder? No, the only cheats they do have is to increase XP, Blood points, get all of the weapons and armor unlocked, and 'God' mode which allows you to be virtually indestructible. Plus other little cheats that really aren't worth anything.
The big problem with the VTM: Bloodlines bosses was the fact that I played a Tremere; I could take them out with just a few blood bolts (or w/e they were called).
Seriously, that Chinese Demon Woman... Took her out in like 5 hits ¬_¬
This is true. Backing him into a corner and racking up combos with the knife is always a treat. It's just that getting him cornered is the hard part. :-/
killing sheriff without floodlights is pretty easy, especially if you are good with firearms or have some powerful distance - working disciplines, like thaumaturgy's bloodboil. Use anaconda or desert eagle when his flying in the distance, and when he's coming for you use bloodboil, which makes him turn back and fly away.
Fighting Vick as Toreador was a lot of fun, although it would have been better if our celerity was the same level. Apparently he didn't bother to max his.
A thing that has bothered me about celerity though: When you fire guns, shouldn't the bullets be moving at the same speed as the enemies bullets?
Well, I'm not really familiar with England's software outlets. Perhaps someone else from the UK and can point you in the right direction.
Other than that, I'd recommend eBay and Amazon. Just do a search for Bloodlines, filter out anyone who doesn't ship to England and go about bidding with mind to quality per price. I've placed international orders on eBay before (including a Wraith: The Oblivion book from Australia), and both eBay and Paypal will handle any monetary conversions for you.
this guy was a total nightmare, had to quick save about 30 times just in this battle. terrifying quick hed use celerity to pump you face with a shotgun shell. infact id say the plague bearer quest is proably the hardest stage og the game (if you attempt it early on and not wait until your stats are hyped)
Well Vick is definitely not Toreador (unlike I suspect Jezebel Locke). And to be honest Brujah don't really even need melee, unarmed works just as well (Potence is for both). And remember, Nines did tell you he uses guns while others may prefer other combat styles (blades for instance) at that part where he gives you an extra melee point when you do the right lines.
Well, let's see... he has Celerity, knowing that alone, you know he can only be Brujah or Toreador... he doesn't look much like a Toreador... so by process of elimination.
Well, again... assamites are silent, discreet assassins and scholars, this Vick guy's a redneck, so he doesn't fit the profile. As for Gangrel, well I suppose it is possible, but he doesn't any Protean disciplines, so Brujah is far more likely.
he may be Caitiff dont rule that out..its a possibility, if hes sire gave him the bite and left him dying..so its possible he doesnt know jack about hes clan
Either Brujah or Toreador. All we really know is that he has Celerity, and he doesn't seem to use any other Disciplines, which would help give his Clan away. But, given his rough-and-ready appearance and his idealism (however twisted it may be), I'm inclined to say Brujah too.
Vick got so much on my nerves that I decided to beat him bone on bone (meaning with my bare fist and a kick or two) on my Malk, without any further use of disciplines (felt very satisfying in the end). Good riddance. Nice knife work by the way, gotta love the way it flips and turns in motion when put into action :D
I had this guy's voice stuck in my head all day once. It got so bad that I had to try and draw him. XD I couldn't even pay attention in class, Vick's voice was too loud in my head.
i hated that battle. I was about to lose my nerves with that fucking Bishop! He was so fast... In the end I won him because I hide behind a wall and he didn't notice I was there... :D
he's fairly easy if u play as tremere, just trance, run to him, blood purge, and shoot him to the head :P he did not even get a chance to shoot me back, that poor bastard xD
Tactics vary, of course, especially when you add Disciplines. If you have Celerity, match him speed for speed. If you have Dementation or Thaumaturgy, blast him with potent Blood powers from range. If you have Animalism, stall him with Nightwisp Ravens and close for melee (like I did). The list goes on. ;-)
The first time I played through, I used the tactic above. The second time I shot him in the face with the shotgun a few times- Drank some zombie blood- then repeated that two more times. It was quite easy actually.
Well, I think Damsel's more of a neo-revolutionary chick. She's got the whole Che-Guevarra-loving pro-Communism riff going on. But yeah, for best results, you have to talk with both Damsel and Regent Strauss, then hunt down and flatten both Jezebel Locke and Brother Kanker (in either order) before you get your shot at Bishop Vick. Good luck.
thanks for the video, i couldn't get past him for some reason, must have fought him 10 times, or so, the one time i did kill him, the game crashed as it loaded the next area, right after the right, i was wtf, and quit...
What kind of character were you playing, might I ask? I and other people here might have some helpful advice for you (if only because we'll do anything to help another player kick Vick's ass). :-)
i belive i was playing a gangrel, but most vampires in the bloodlines games have very smimllair skill sets, not like in the real vampire masqurade game, i just had bad luck with vick, that's all...
The Odious Chalice might be more to your liking. You actually have to earn your Blood Pool in battle with that thing, rather than raiding a fridge or giving Vandal a chunk of cash. ;-)
I did this on my Malkavian, using melee and Bedlam (level 5 dementation) and killed him in a matter of seconds without any blood packs. Bedlam is soooooo useful because it also gets rid of some of the zombies. I love Malks :)
Blood packs. Just use the Options menu and make sure they're hotkeyed the way you want them.
I like to keep both regular packs and Blue Blood packs bound to separate hotkeys; there's no sense wasting a Blue Blood pack when you've suffered only a scratch, and when a boss smacks you for half your Health, regular packs just won't cut it.
I don't think he is; he actually seems to be an Independent, albeit a malicious one. He doesn't care anything about the Kindred and their Jyhad; he's only interested in bringing pestilence and Doomsday to mortals and vampires alike.
Wow Bloodybay you earned my respect ;) already playing with Nosferatu is quite hard...and this boss is quite hard since you dont have so much stats yet...;) keep the good work
Ah Btw can u make a video you fighting vs Andrei in Kings Way(In hollywood) and than vs Andrei in Hollowbrook hotel? ;)
Now that you mention it, I think I have a save before each of those battles (real saves, not quicksaves that get pushed into oblivion by too many quicksaves). I'll see what I can do. :-)
...and you're in luck! I just checked, and I have saves for both battles with Andrei. I'll see if I can Fraps them both this weekend. :-)
And contrary to what herrpotat was saying, I tried the first fight again and was STILL doing more damage with the knife than with the fire axe. The knife's overhead slash (Right + Click) can easily hit three times with the same slash, making for some pretty respectable damage (as we may see in the coming video). >;-)
Call it something to prove. The knife killed Jezebel and Kanker, it fended off the zombie holocaust...even Andrei (both forms) and the serial killer have died by the knife so far. Potence can help with the lower damage, the knife's faster and I like the knockback from the knife's Back+Click attack. Why stop now?
Besides, since the game won't let my Nossie start the Yukei-and-Hengeyokai mission which ends in me getting the Ra Blade, I've found that top-of-the-line weapons aren't as necessary as one may think.
It depends on which unofficial patch (if any) you have installed; the Ra Blade was originally in the Hallowbrook Hotel, but later patches removed it and either gave it to Yukie or planted it inside the Fu Syndicate.
But the Tal'Mahe'Ra Blade was originally a Sabbat weapon, which makes sense; in Vampire: The Masquerade, the Tal'Mahe'Ra were a sect of vampires who led the Shadow Crusade and gave rise to the Sabbat and the Black Hand we know and loathe today. :-P
I wonder which Clan this one originally came from? Did his sire make his Embrace so traumatic that it led to this development? Did his mind simply break because he had been a devout cleric before and could not stand becoming one of the Kindred?
While one can understand and perhaps even sympathize with his apparent torment at becoming a Kindred, his actions were no better than completely draining one of the Canaille.
I'm still wondering how he picked up the disease (or infected himself with it) in the first place. That might have played a role in his becoming Bishop Vick as well.
I know of no Canaille, though. Did you mean the Camarilla?
If memory serves, Canaille was the archaic term for humans, as Cainites was the old term for Kindred. Just as an Elder might speak about committing the amaranth, which in the Modern Nights would be called diablerie.
Oh, he means Brother Kanker then. Kanker's not too terrible a fight; You mostly just have to either play keep-away or outlast him in a toe-to-toe slugfest.
So what clan is Vick from? Some branch off of the Giovanni?

What kind of character were you playing, might I ask? I and other people here might have some helpful advice for you (if only because we'll do anything to help another player kick Vick's ass). :-)

i belive i was playing a gangrel, but most vampires in the bloodlines games have very smimllair skill sets, not like in the real vampire masqurade game, i just had bad luck with vick, that's all...

I find it rather cheap to use bloodsacks, I never use them, however I usually wait a bit until I do this encounter.

The Odious Chalice might be more to your liking. You actually have to earn your Blood Pool in battle with that thing, rather than raiding a fridge or giving Vandal a chunk of cash. ;-)

I did this on my Malkavian, using melee and Bedlam (level 5 dementation) and killed him in a matter of seconds without any blood packs. Bedlam is soooooo useful because it also gets rid of some of the zombies. I love Malks :)

Bedlam also rocks in the Golden Temple. Just drop Bedlam in a mob of monks and watch them all kill each other or suicide out. >:-)

I always have to use a ton of blood packs to defeat this guy, he's a real pain in the ass.

How did you regenerate your life in the middle of the fight without feeding???
GameSheriff 3 years ago
Blood packs. Just use the Options menu and make sure they're hotkeyed the way you want them.
I like to keep both regular packs and Blue Blood packs bound to separate hotkeys; there's no sense wasting a Blue Blood pack when you've suffered only a scratch, and when a boss smacks you for half your Health, regular packs just won't cut it.

Is Vick a bishop in the Sabbat?
GuadoGirlX 3 years ago
I don't think he is; he actually seems to be an Independent, albeit a malicious one. He doesn't care anything about the Kindred and their Jyhad; he's only interested in bringing pestilence and Doomsday to mortals and vampires alike.
BloodyBay 3 years ago
Yeah, I think the Brotherhood is something different, independent as well.

No. None at all. Activision themselves said so.

Wow Bloodybay you earned my respect ;) already playing with Nosferatu is quite hard...and this boss is quite hard since you dont have so much stats yet...;) keep the good work
Ah Btw can u make a video you fighting vs Andrei in Kings Way(In hollywood) and than vs Andrei in Hollowbrook hotel? ;)

Now that you mention it, I think I have a save before each of those battles (real saves, not quicksaves that get pushed into oblivion by too many quicksaves). I'll see what I can do. :-)
BloodyBay 4 years ago
...and you're in luck! I just checked, and I have saves for both battles with Andrei. I'll see if I can Fraps them both this weekend. :-)
And contrary to what herrpotat was saying, I tried the first fight again and was STILL doing more damage with the knife than with the fire axe. The knife's overhead slash (Right + Click) can easily hit three times with the same slash, making for some pretty respectable damage (as we may see in the coming video). >;-)
BloodyBay 4 years ago
Also, I've just uploaded both Andrei battles. Enjoy! :-)
BloodyBay 4 years ago
Why arent you using the axe? It hits harder then the knife.
herrpotat 4 years ago
Call it something to prove. The knife killed Jezebel and Kanker, it fended off the zombie holocaust...even Andrei (both forms) and the serial killer have died by the knife so far. Potence can help with the lower damage, the knife's faster and I like the knockback from the knife's Back+Click attack. Why stop now?

Besides, since the game won't let my Nossie start the Yukei-and-Hengeyokai mission which ends in me getting the Ra Blade, I've found that top-of-the-line weapons aren't as necessary as one may think.
BloodyBay 4 years ago
what do you mean you gotta do the hengeyokai quest for the tamal`ra`he blade? i heard it could be found in the hollowbrook hotel somewhere...
Daemonifudge 3 years ago
It depends on which unofficial patch (if any) you have installed; the Ra Blade was originally in the Hallowbrook Hotel, but later patches removed it and either gave it to Yukie or planted it inside the Fu Syndicate.
But the Tal'Mahe'Ra Blade was originally a Sabbat weapon, which makes sense; in Vampire: The Masquerade, the Tal'Mahe'Ra were a sect of vampires who led the Shadow Crusade and gave rise to the Sabbat and the Black Hand we know and loathe today. :-P

damn the guy is tough

I was playing brujah, and he wasn't all that hard when using celerity yourself since bullets can be dodged.

I wonder which Clan this one originally came from? Did his sire make his Embrace so traumatic that it led to this development? Did his mind simply break because he had been a devout cleric before and could not stand becoming one of the Kindred?
While one can understand and perhaps even sympathize with his apparent torment at becoming a Kindred, his actions were no better than completely draining one of the Canaille.
tyriel1 4 years ago
I'm still wondering how he picked up the disease (or infected himself with it) in the first place. That might have played a role in his becoming Bishop Vick as well.
I know of no Canaille, though. Did you mean the Camarilla?
BloodyBay 4 years ago
If memory serves, Canaille was the archaic term for humans, as Cainites was the old term for Kindred. Just as an Elder might speak about committing the amaranth, which in the Modern Nights would be called diablerie.

But he is the first damn hard fight, after this guy in the canalisation and therefore I hate him.
Svenson1981 4 years ago
I'm not sure what you mean by "canalisation". Who are you talking about?
BloodyBay 4 years ago
By "canalisation" he means sewers.
MetaDarkness 4 years ago
Oh, he means Brother Kanker then. Kanker's not too terrible a fight; You mostly just have to either play keep-away or outlast him in a toe-to-toe slugfest.
BloodyBay 4 years ago
Yes, I mean this guy from the Plague, in the sewers of downtown.
Svenson1981 4 years ago
hm, i like this guy
