How to Complete the Confrontations with Halsey: Achievements

Don't miss a beat! Learn how to successfully navigate all three confrontations with Halsey in Vampire: The Masquerade — Swansong to earn the Mom of the Year achievement.

Alright, let's talk about dealing with Halsey in this scene. It's not a boss fight in the traditional sense, but there are definitely achievements tied to handling these conversations just right. Think of it as a social boss battle where saying the wrong thing can mess things up!

First Confrontation with Halsey:

You'll run into Halsey pretty early on, right after you use Obfuscate to snag a Homicide Officer's uniform. Head through the police tape into the next room, and boom, there she is. To get through this first part, tell her "Let’s take a time out." She'll then hit you with a riddle. The correct answer is "I think it’s… Fire." Nailing this gets you +2 Willpower and -2 Hunger, which is a nice little bonus, especially after seeing all the… *stuff* in the room.

Second Confrontation with Halsey:

Keep pushing forward. You'll go through a door into the main loft area, then hang a right. After a bit of a scene with some cops and feds checking out the staked bodies (grim, I know), you'll find more police tape blocking your path in the large living room. Turn down the hallway to your right. Halsey's waiting at the end. She'll be a bit apprehensive again and pose another riddle. This time, you need to say "I know… The cold." She'll then start complaining about voices and Richard. Just go with "Yes…" and then another "Yes" to wrap it up. Again, you'll score +2 Willpower and -2 Hunger.

Third Confrontation with Halsey:

After that second chat, head into the kitchen and talk to Officer Opuedo. Then, use Obfuscate to grab a Forensics Specialist uniform. Make sure to change in a Safe Room – there’s one just off the hallway where you had the second confrontation. Once you're changed, cross the police tape just outside the kitchen. Halsey will show up again and guide you into another Safe Room for the final confrontation. For her third riddle, the answer is "I know… Her Childe". She'll bring up Richard again, so deflect by saying "But I love her."

Success here, just like the previous times, nets you +2 Willpower and -2 Hunger. More importantly, this should be enough to reassure Halsey. Completing this conversation is key to finishing the bonus objective (which you won't see until the end of the scene) and snagging the **Mom of the Year** achievement. Nice!
