Find Nurse Dorothy Crane
Before you search for Nurse Crane, grab the Crumpled Letter (Clay Cox hint) sitting beside Clay’s battered chair.
The nurse will be the final one you find, down the steps where the docks are–(where you first showed up here with Swansea), You’ll need to use your vampire senses to catch her speaking with another person.
Retrieve the thug in the sewers
Head into the sewers–you’ll be following one main path for a bit, up until you see a whole lot of blood in one area. Out this next doorway, turn right for an enemy (and one on the ground level). Top side has a Common Barbed Cudgel for you.
Hop down facing the dead-end direction for another enemy.
Continue the main direction and take a left for an enemy. Loot the dead man’s body for The Ban of the Dragon. There’s a boss fight further into the tunnel.
Sewer Beast
- The Common Barbed Cudgel you just obtained works well for its stun
- Guns might be prioritized here
- Weapons don’t do too much damage to it
- If you have Shadow Mist, it’s very difficult to hit him with it
- Basically keep your health up by keeping him stunned
Search the skeletal remains on the ground for Nurse Crane’s Voucher.
Next quest is Blackmail in Whitechapel.
