As someone who has recently started their new life as a vampire, you’ll have to navigate the streets and sewers alike while also trying to stay afloat against other vampires who control the region to earn your name and place in the town.

The Queen Of Nightmares
As Act 3 begins, Lizbeth Tremaine approaches you and asks you to find Seraphine Lascelles, the Queen of Nightmares.
Here, you’ll have to talk to Agatha and Tempest in Lapis and ask them about Seraphine. Once you’ve talked to Tempest, Seraphine will seek you out herself.
Durant will appear in your Sanctuary the next time you wake up. He’ll take you with him to Seraphine in Necropolis. She’ll be trying to aid an injured vampire. You can help her here.
Once you’ve dealt with the injured vampire, approach Seraphine in her Sanctuary and talk to her. Seraphine thinks Tremaine might be involved with the Circle of Ash, but you have to investigate properly.
Tessa’s Explosives
She’ll tell you about Tessa and ask you to help her out. Tessa is also at the Necropolis. Talk to her, and she’ll tell you to gather some supplies.
You have to head to the Black Market and the Gunshop on Valentine’s Row to gather the supplies. Bring all the stuff back to Tessa.
You’ll have to wait a day or more until Tessa texts you that the bomb is ready. To confirm if Tremaine is part of the Circle of Ash, you’ll have to lure her out of the Chained Tree and investigate her office in her absence.
Pick up the bomb from Tessa. She asks you to find out where the Pendragon guards are keeping the captured vampires.
Head to the Pendragon Checkpoint in Cradlebridge. Steal a radio from one of the soldiers, and you’ll figure out that the vampires are being kept at the checkpoint in Angelbreach.
Go and talk to Tessa about what you’ve discovered. She’ll give you the bomb. Go to the Pendragon Checkpoint in Angelbreach.
Once you reach the checkpoint in Angelbreach, check out the bomb’s features. Don’t forget to get away from the bomb before you press the button to explode it; otherwise, it will be game over.
You’ll then return to Necropolis. Now, you have to return to your Sanctuary and rest for the night.
Night of Reclamation
Once you wake up after the events, you’ll find Gideon at your door. He’ll tell you that he had sent out Becca somewhere and it’s all chaos outside.
Get ready and prepare to head to the Old Town. You’ll have to fight some battles along the way.
Once you’ve reached the Old Town, you’ll be able to rescue Becca. However, from here on, you have to check in on some of your companions. You can’t check in on all of them. The ones you check in on will have increased respect for you.
Shortly after, you’ll receive a call from Gideon asking you to come back to Nighthawks club right away.
Here, you’ll find a trio that you’d have seen before. There’s also a priest here. You have to sway the crowd in your favor.
Shortly after, the detective will come and put you in the cell for a short while. He’ll let you out shortly after.
Investigating Tremaine’s Office
Now that Tremaine is busy after the events of the Night of Reclamation, you’ll have to head to the Chained Tree in Fountaincourt.
You’ll find Rupert Winchester here. Make up an excuse to let him get out of the Chained Tree building.
Once Rupert is out of the picture, explore Tremaine’s office. Examine everything, and you’ll find a lead on someone called the Shelby-Northcrest Man.
As you escape from the Chained Tree, you’ll have mailed yourself a copy of Tremaine’s conversation with Monika regarding the Shelby-Northcrest Man, who is also known as Justin Bauer.
Now, you have to go to Monika Vail to inquire more about this strange man. You’ll learn that the man is often at the Halcyon Hotel.
Visit the Hotel and ask the clerk about Justin Bauer. You’ll get a list of names here. It appears that Justin Bauer isn’t using his real name. Here, you’ll have to pick Tom Neyman from the list.
There are plenty of ways to get your answers from the man. He’s fond of vampires, so you can play as a vampire lord and ask him what you need to know from him.
As you talk with Justin Bauer, you’ll figure out the venue for the meeting of the Circle of Ash. Now, you have to return to your Sanctuary and rest for a couple of days.
Circle Of Ash
Wait until you find Durant in your Sanctuary one night. He’ll ask to lead you to the venue of the meeting.
You’ll find Rupert Winchester here, instead of Lizbeth Tremaine. He’s in a meeting with someone called Abigail Giertz.
After listening in on the meeting, you’ll have to return to Seraphine. She’ll ask you about the circle’s goal, and it is to reduce the vampire population.
Here, you can choose to convince Seraphine to have a peace talk with Lizbeth Tremaine at Nighthawks.
Peace Talks
Once you’re ready, return to your Sanctuary, and you’ll be able to call Tremaine over to the Nighthawks for the peace talk.
Proceed through the events, and regardless of your choice, you’ll be put to blame for a deed that Rupert Winchester did, and will be sent to jail for some time as Act 3 comes to an end.
This concludes the walkthrough for Act 3 of Nighthawks.
