Learn how to solve the Prince's Bookcase Puzzle in Vampire: The Masquerade — Swansong. This guide details accessing the apartment, finding the Miniature Swan, and the correct book order.
Walkthrough
- 1Access the Prince's apartment by going to April Bosely's office on the ground floor and taking the elevator. Finish all other business before entering the apartment, as the Scene will end once you leave.
- 2Explore the apartment, which has two floors. Upstairs, you will find a locked bookcase. Nearby, there is a swan statue with an indent, suggesting something should be placed there.
- 3Head into the bedroom and find a bookshelf behind the bed. Collect the Miniature Swan from this bookshelf.
- 4Return to the swan statue and place the Miniature Swan on the indent. This will unlock a side compartment containing the Silver Key.
- 5Use the Silver Key to unlock the bookcase. Inspect the books, which are lettered A - G, and note that they can be pulled.
- 6Go back downstairs and interact with a music stand to find a piece of music. Look closely at the music to find circled letters, which indicate the correct order to pull the books.
- 7Return to the bookcase and pull the books in the following order: B, F, D, A, C.
- 8After pulling the books in the correct sequence, a drawer will open below the bookcase. Inside, you will find three files that provide information about the Prince's true motives and complete this main objective.
- 9Once finished, return to the elevator to end the Scene.
Tips
