Notes

• During this quest the majority of Santa Monica locations are inaccessible, including the sewers. In addition, several back alley routes are blocked off, forcing the fledgling to follow a certain route, though a character with high stealth and/or Obfuscation can avoid many encounters and perform stealth kills.
• During this quest Santa Monica is a combat rather than a Masquerade zone, as such all Disciplines can be used without fear of a violation.
• If the fledgling removed the metal bars in the parking garage to access Gallery Noir earlier in the game, the bars will still be gone, allowing a route that bypasses the hunters standing at the garage entrance.

Trivia

• The Camarilla vampires pursuing the Fledgling apparently follows the character sheet of the main character. They are Cainites using the same physical models and Disciplines shown as options of the 7 playable Clans for main character creation being usually Kindred from those Clans that were not selected by the player. The same mechanism can be seen in the introduction of the game when they appear to capture the Fledgling and his/her Sire being two males from different clans from the Fledgling and each other.
