Before, however, you pull off any trick, basic or otherwise, you need to amass the resonances necessary to awaken skills before unlocking them. The easiest and most obvious way to do it is, hunt humans as developers intended and awaken their resonance through conversation. This is a perfectly viable method, even thou you need to hunt over 60 humans for all unlocks. Just remember, you don't have to hunt them all in one go during the first night. Remember also that finishing the side quest for Niko and Mrs Thorn will award you 500 resonance every third quest or so. Best hunting path I found starts from Dutchman, goes south, and then right to atrium, forming an L Angry NPC are called choleric in game lingo and will flesh red. Homeless, bikers, and business ppl are all easily triggered while wearing rich man cloths (suits, typically the third and fourth outfit of each clan) Romantic NPCa are fleshing pink and are called Sanguin. Bikers will respond to poor people's clothes (usually the first one of each clan). All other types of NPC, including sex workers, are easier to awaken in fancy clothes. Fearful NPC are flashing Purple and are called melancholic in-game. You should play the class card as hard as you can for guaranteed success. Wear cheap clothes near the upper crest, and expensive suits while talking to the rabble. It will take some time, but some of the fanniest quips of this game are hidden in this system and are well worth some time to hear them all. However, not everybody has the time or patience for that, thank Cain we can chees the whole system hard. Key here are skills Becon from Toreador, Tount from Brujah, and Glimps of Oblivion from Losombra. Those 3 skills have the side effect of seeding npc with resonances, and they all cost a meager 6 skill points, not including possible clan discount. Given that melancholic mobs are incredibly annoying to drink from, due to their erratic running patterns, I strongly recommend for evyrones' first cross clan ability to be Glimpse of Oblivion. Unfortunately, it's not the most impressive combat skill in the game. Unlike Becon, which happens to be the most powerful third row ability in my opinion, and therefore a great investment even without farm consideration And now to the method Step 1: Locate a stationary np in the alleyways between buildings, most likely a homeless person walking or checking out trash bins. Your future victim doesn't have to be resonant at all. Step 2: Locate somewhere else any other npc, and lure it closeish to the npc from step one Method is irrelevant. Either find an angry or sanguine npc and awaken them by conversation, or use tount or becon and get them close. Step 3: Drain the resonant npc, Step 4: Use any of the 3 skills mentioned above to awaken resonance in the other one and drink them as well Step 5: Whenever one npc destuns themself after draining a use skill again on him and drains him again. Rince repeat till you have enough resonance. With all 3 skills, it should take less than 10 minutes to unlock all resonances you will ever need. If you feel courageous or lucky, you can lure a third npc to speed up the process, but I found that occasionally my timing would be off, and one of the destuned mobs can call the police on you. Remember this method when you need to refill your skills before missions. Drinking a resonant npc will always restore all your skill pips. in both of my playthroughs, in which I did every side quest possible,where I didn't seek combat on the roofs but didn't run from it either, I amassed about 60ish points. enough to have all passives, all discounted skills, and then 2 or 3 more. While this is plenty, it's probably not enough to do all of the skillshot achievements in one playthrough, even with the method I will, in short order, describe. At least not while having fun, and so I recommend 2 playthroughs ( if you are a completionist, you will have to finish the game 6 times eventually anyway for clans and endings :P) My choice for the optimal route was Losombra and Banu Haqim. Losombra is a very good choice not only because their first two skills are considered for most powerful in the game, but also because no other clan has a discount on their Oblivion skills. Losombra has the entirety of the clan venture discount as well, so the couple of points left you can use whenever you like, just remember to pick up tount on them, it will be very useful with some of the achievements. Banu Haqim, on the other hand, outside of their own skills, have the entirety of Tremere discounted, and most brujah and toreador to boot, meaning those 2 clans are the most skill-efficient out of the bunch, covering effectively the entire skill board. While in any other rpg would simply allow to savescum skill picks, VTMB is tricky, and saves each time you pick up a skill. However, whenever you enter a different map than the open city rules change, and the only way to overwrite a checkpoint is to reach another one. The method I propose is simple: we go to a certain dungeon in game, heaving as many free skill points as vampirically possible, and then try to farm as many achievements as you possibly can, and then restart and either repeat if you failed or farm another till you're done or bored. :D I will call this method arena for short from now on. The easiest place I found to farm achievements is available to us on the night when we need to hunt down Willem. It's night either 3 or 4. By this time, you should have a full build and about 15 or more skill points to spare, which should be quite good to do most of them. Willem night is particularly great for farming because 1. Entry to his base is guarded by close to 20 mobs, which can be clumped up. BEWARE, those are outside of the dungeon, meaning DO NOT learn any skills you don't want to have permanently for the rest of your playthrough 2. The first combat sequence inside contains about 10 mobs, 2 of which are specials. You can try your best during that sequence. Remember to restart the checkpoint after you are done to unlearn all unwanted skills. 3. The second stage is where the magic is happening. This room will contain close to 12 mobs, none of which have any wpn. Mannequins that Willem will summon here also have a greatly diminished health pool compared to normal mobs. This is the best place to farm I have found by far. During the final sequence of the game, there are also 3 arenas full of mobs, and empty spaces that are perfectly fine to use this method, so you can try all other skill points you have amassed by then. Elders Speed Counter 30 enemy attack by dashing toward them. First, find a single mob somewhere in the arena or on the roof (or make one lonely by killing all his friends... you monster!) You counter by dodging into the attacking mob. This can be somewhat finicky, but it's actually a useful skill that will help you dread moonflowers a little less later in the game ( it will make sense, trust me). It is possible you will come up with this Achievement completely naturally, but it's good to grind it up early to build yourself muscle memory. And to help out with another achievement on the list, which is Elders Strenght Break 20 enemy blocks with heavy attacks. This will most definitely not come naturally. In both my games, I may have broken blocks 3 times, combined naturally. Mobs do block somewhat randomly, and if you are not ready to break it immediately, they will drop guard and attack before you can actually break it. However, after about 3 counters on the melee mob, they will assume a blocking position naturally. Speeding up the process considerably and making it predictable. If you break mobs too hard, just find another group and leave single melee on again for easy grind. Kiss and Kill Pull enemies to you with telekinesis and feed on them 30 times This one is hard to pull off on roofs if you are not careful with engagements, but it may come naturally, surprisingly quickly if you like a little stealth sta
