You are now in the latter half of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, and many dots will start to connect. In the next few quests, you will discover several important details regarding who has been committing the killings and for what reason. That said, if you want to see what the fandom thinks of the game, head over to its Steam page and check out the reviews.
After completing Prove Yourself and the other three quests, you will wake up as Fabien. By this point, you will already know that, as Fabien, you need to conduct a lot of investigation. In this walkthrough, I will thoroughly guide you on how to complete Chapter 18, The Mother, in Bloodlines 2.
Disclaimer
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is an action role-playing video game where your choices in dialogue matter. They can affect gameplay and your relationships with other characters. Depending on the choices you make, the ending of the game can change. This playthrough is based on the choices I made throughout my journey. That said, I tried to be positive in all of my encounters.

Investigate The Crime Scene

After finishing Prove Yourself, you will find yourself back in the sunflower field as Fabien, and shortly after, you will be taken into the past. As you enter the past, you will witness an ongoing conversation with an officer. Shortly afterward, you will be given some dialogue options to choose from.
You can select any dialogue option here, and when the conversation ends, you will need to investigate the crime scene. Use your Heightened Senses ability to find clues and objects you can interact with.

The following are the things you can interact with:
- The rebar, per se.
- The blood trail near the rebar.
- A cross near the rebar.
- A broken lock (inside the Auto Repair shop).
- A fallen bike (inside the Auto Repair shop).
- A large fallen toolbox on the ground (inside the Auto Repair shop).
- A yellow evidence sign (inside a room in the Auto Repair shop).
After you have interacted with all the items mentioned above, you will need to talk to Max. Also, note that in the same room where you found the yellow evidence sign, there is an officer you can speak to.
Talk To Max

Max can be found in the room to the left when you enter the repair shop. He will be sitting on the sofa, so go ahead and talk to him.
Shortly after, you will get some dialogue options to choose from. I selected “Tell me about the victim?” and followed it up with “How is Benny involved?” Then I selected “You don’t know what you saw?” “Remember anything else?” will be the last dialogue option left, and upon selecting this, you will hit a wall.

At this point, it is time to use Fabien’s mind-reading ability by pressing L2 + O or LB + X. This will activate the ability, and you will see Max’s thoughts. “Hands on her belly. Protecting her kid?” is the option you are looking for, and if it is not available, choose any other option. Doing so will cause it to appear in the next set of choices.

After that, talk to Max again and choose the option “I saw something in your mind…” When the conversation ends, leave the room and talk to Officer Jones. She will be in the other room, so start a conversation and choose the “Any sightings of a pregnant woman?” dialogue option.
Report To Officer Smith

After talking to Officer Jones, your objective will be updated to report to Officer Smith. Go outside the repair shop and talk to him. There will not be any dialogue options to choose from during this conversation, so you do not need to worry about that. When your conversation with Smith is over, your objective will be updated once again, and now you will need to go to the police station to check the records for the pregnant woman.
Check Police Records For Reports Of A Pregnant Woman

After talking to Smith, follow the quest marker, and upon reaching the police station, head inside and go over to the records department. It will be the first department on the right after entering, so head inside and use your Spirit’s Touch ability on the filing cabinet.
Select the first dialogue option, and then you will get a few more to choose from. After selecting all of the available options, you will uncover a new lead, and you will be able to leave. Once the conversation ends, you will have some new leads to follow.
Question Mr. Lemon About Memory Loss

After your conversation with the filing cabinet is over, you will be tasked with selecting a new lead from the map. The Mr. Lemon lead is quite close by, so that is the best option to choose. He is the same drunk guy you may remember from the previous quests, so head downstairs into the holding cell and start a conversation with him.
Doing so will give you some dialogue options to choose from. Select “The P.D. records say you aren’t drunk?” and then you will be able to leave. However, you should recharge the ability you just recently used, so select “I’m kinda thirsty…” to do so. After that, you can leave and select a new lead to investigate.
Question Guru About Memory Loss

The next closest person to you now is Guru, so exit the police station and head over to him. Once you reach him, start a conversation, and you will get some dialogue options to choose from. Select “You had some memory loss?” and follow it up with “C’mon Guru – what happened?” but he still will not say anything useful.
Now you need to use Fabien’s second ability, which allows you to clone yourself. This will let you take the form of someone Guru trusts. Press L2 + X or LB + A to activate the ability, and you will then see several dialogue options appear. You will get four dialogue options, but only one will advance the conversation.

Select “It’s been a good week.” as this advances the conversation. Then you will get more dialogue options to choose from. Do not choose “I’d recite a mantra to calm the ghosts.” as it will make him suspicious. Instead, select “Bell, book, and candle!” to impress him. You can also choose “Forgive yourself. Everything starts with that.” since Guru will be pleased with that response.
After that, select “Tell me more!” to advance the conversation. Guru will then reveal more details about the pregnant lady, and you will get additional dialogue options. Select “What did she tell you?” to complete the conversation.
Question Carla About Memory Loss

Your next objective is to question Carla, so select her from the map and follow the quest marker. Upon reaching the location, you will notice that Carla is not in her usual spot, so you will have to locate her. Use your Heightened Senses ability to track Carla’s scent and find out where she went.

Following the scent for a while will lead you straight to her. Once you locate her, start a conversation, and you will get some dialogue options to choose from. Selecting “Where did this happen?” is the best option, as it reveals everything and also finishes the conversation.
After talking to Carla, your objective will be updated to check the reports for a pregnant woman again at the police station. That said, if your Spirit’s Touch ability isn’t charged, make sure to feed on Carla, as you will need it in the next objective.
Check Police Records For Reports Of A Pregnant Woman

Head back to the police station and enter the police records section. Use Spirit’s Touch on the filing cabinet and select the dialogue option that appears. Following that, you will get some additional dialogue options to choose from, so select all of them one by one, and you will uncover a new lead.
After that, leave the records section, and your objective will be updated to search St. Stephens for a pregnant woman.
Search St. Stephens For A Pregnant Woman

Simply follow the quest marker and head over to St. Stephens. Open the door, go inside, and head straight; you will find the door closed with Onda standing outside. Upon talking to her, you will get some dialogue options. I chose “I’m trying to find someone in need.” Any of the following choices will conclude the conversation.

After speaking with Onda, you will receive a new lead, and your objective will be updated to question the pregnant woman.
Question The Pregnant Woman About The Murdered Biker

After your conversation with Onda, she will step away from the door, so open it and enter. Then, open the door to the left to enter the basement. A short cutscene will commence, and Misty will appear out of nowhere, initiating a conversation. It is more of an animation than a full cutscene.
Soon, you will get some dialogue options to choose from. I selected “Did you see the murder?” and followed it up with “Onda said you’d been hurt…”. Then I selected the following dialogue options:
- Are you talking about the baby?
- Tell me about the child?
- You were pregnant during your Embrace?
- Why did you wipe all those memories?
- Please, what did you see? (after selecting this, you will hit a wall)

You can select the “Please, what did you see?” option first, but this will hit a wall. Then, leave. Since Misty is acting strangely and not answering as she should, it is time to use your mind-reading ability on her. Press L2 + O or L2 + B, and you will see her thoughts.
“Borrowed blood, gifted slayer. Hide!” is the correct choice, so select that. After selecting this option, talk to Misty again and choose “I know what you saw!” Then select “Who are you hiding from?”, and shortly after, you will be taken further back into the past.
Talking To Misty Further In The Past

You will still be talking to Misty. I selected the following dialogue options:
- I’m with the police.
- Did you get a look at the guy?
- Like a head being pulled off using brute strength?
- You’re Hector’s girl
- Who’s the father?
- But you didn’t want to.
- That is not good.
- Maybe it was so I knew something the Court didn’t.
After selecting the dialogue options mentioned above, your conversation with Misty will come to an end, and a cutscene will begin. Shortly after, Phyre will wake up, and Bloodlines 2, Chapter 18, The Mother, will conclude.
