Complete the Newborn prologue in Vampyr. Learn how to sprint, find the Used Machete, and acquire your first ranged weapon.
Walkthrough
- 1Awaken in a mass grave and climb out.
- 2Stumble forward towards a distant female figure.
- 3Talk to her, then bite her neck to kill her.
- 4Run from the armed man who finds you; hold the circle button to sprint. You will heal quickly from any bullets.
- 5Run up the stairs and follow the path, avoiding attempts to climb roofs or go through gates.
- 6When you see a truck, turn right and jump down.
- 7Run forward until you find a dead man with a Used Machete (1/20) embedded in his chest. Pick it up.
- 8Swing the machete to destroy the barrels blocking your path.
- 9Encounter your first enemy and take him down with three swings from your machete. Follow the prompt to lock onto your target (R3).
- 10Continue up the stairs to find an assailant with a cosh blocking a doorway. Let him swing, dodge, then defeat him with your machete.
- 11Go through the door into the foundry and defeat the gunman first, then the melee opponent.
- 12Go through the next door for a cinematic where you are burnt by the sun while grappling with an assailant. The sun does aggravated damage which does not heal on its own.
