In Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong there’s a tricky, time consuming blood lift puzzle during chapter one, when you’re playing as Emem. It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just a lot of trial and error, and the puzzle is set up in a way to have quite a few red herrings, with even the starting point not actually set in stone when you begin.

It comes fairly nearly the end of Emem’s chapter one, and it does signal a point of no return for that section of the game, so make sure you’ve collected all of the memories hidden around the environment for the best possible outcome. While it’s not the hardest puzzle in the game, it can take you way longer than it needs to, so use our guide and get on with the deep, involving story.
