Detailed

If a Nosferatu, travel to 609 King's Way via the sewers. Otherwise, take the taxi.

The only way into the house is to move to the back through the doors on the side of the property, then scale the trellis along the wall of the house. This will lead to the second floor, where a spiraling staircase leads to the third. Enter the house through the sliding glass door, whereupon Tzimisce creations will immediately attack. Kill the creatures, then grab the Mummywrap Fetish on the table in the second room. Descend the nearby stairs and fight into the living room, where a Fancy Ring can be acquired. Additionally, grab a Blood Pack and a Blue Blood Pack from the nearby refrigerator. Continue descending a couple more flights of stairs until reaching the basement.

At the bottom of the stairs to the basement, a conversation with the tape's creator — Sabbat Tzimisce Andrei — will trigger. He will discuss the creatures the fledgling has killed in the house, and the "inevitable" Gehenna that will doom everyone. Glean as much information out of him as possible, then enter combat. Andrei isn't difficult, but the creatures he sends can keep the fledgling occupied, to the point where he may teleport around the room without being hit. Once enough damage has been dealt, he will sink into the ground ^(6XP). At this point, the quest is complete. However, the double doorway in the basement leads into the Nosferatu Warrens, a multi-level area that can prove to be fairly difficult.
